Chapter 264 [Three hand-picked, Jagged Team Soul! 】

Guo Xu soon received the free agent list sent by Brian, to be precise, the remaining marginal people. The people with a little fame in NBA have already found a next home. Even those who are not famous have signed training camp contracts.

Even so, Guo Xu was not angry because he was very happy to join the Suns and was very satisfied with his current teammates. Even if he was not strong enough, as long as he didn't find fault in the locker room, he would be considered a qualified teammate.

Guo Xu soon found the highlight on the list of liberosers!

This was once a famous street football king in New York and was highly praised by Marbury, but after being selected by the Bucks in 1998, he did not get much chance of performance.

Alstom was just a substitute for the Bucks for three seasons. Some of the streetball skills he was used to cannot be used. They would be blown over by the referee and violated the rules and walked, which caused him to be extremely uncomfortable.

His shooting was even worse, with a shooting percentage of 34.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38%, and a free throw of only 62.1%. He scored 3.5 points and 2.9 assists in 12 minutes of playing.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Alstom started to explode after joining the Heat in 2003-04. No one wants it now. It is enough to use him as a substitute, at least it has good control, fewer mistakes, and three-pointers. As long as you don't break through the wave shots, you can do it.

In the future, Chinese fans will be very familiar with Alstom. His peak is at the Raptors, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

The second person Guo Xu chose was also very famous in his previous life, nicknamed "Snake Man" Mickey Moore.

Moore is 213cm tall and weighs 102kg inside. He is too thin and has poor confrontation. He can't even catch the ball on his back. When he is hit, he will stagger and can only face the frame.

On the offensive end, he can occasionally show mid-range shots, with extremely fast speeds, can make fast attacks like small forwards, and can cover the guards and then go down. Because of these characteristics, he scored high-light data in the Pistons in 1999-00, scoring 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 16.8 minutes. Unfortunately, he was injured after only 29 games.

Last season, Moore was injured again in 30 games with the Pistons, playing only 7.2 minutes to score 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds, and no one wants it.

Guo Xu knew that Moore was suitable for a fast-attack team. His peak in his previous life was in the 2006-07 season. He partnered with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson, scoring 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 26.4 minutes. At that time, he was slower due to multiple injuries, and the inside could not catch up with him.

Guo Xu turned the list to the end and finally found the third candidate, Udunis Haslem, who is 203cm tall and weighs 115 kilograms, is a rookie this year.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Haslem was one of the most famous unselected rookies in the NBA. He was not tall but focused on power forwards and centers. He was extremely fierce in his iron-blooded defense and played for the Heat for life. He was the captain of the Heat and the rebounding champion in the history of the team.

This can be said to be a miracle. Some people have been in the team with the most mobile NBA players for 15 years.

Who is Pat Riley, the Heat coach and manager? Even if a player can play for 5 seasons at the Heat, he can drive away the meritorious player Dwayne Wade. James gave up his brothers basketball and announced his decision 2 after only four seasons.

Only Haslem, throughout his career, has devoted all his youth to the Heat. Although his average score per game is not particularly high, he is a very qualified blue-collar player. He has won a total of three championships in the Heat, which can be said to be the "team soul"!

Haslem is not a complete blue-collar worker. He practiced mid-range shots in college and could help his outside teammates open up space.

In Guo Xu's previous life, he averaged 12 points, 9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game in his peak season.

Guo Xu knew that there was a CNY shot at Haslem University because he met him during the time cycle in Polis. At that time, Guo Xu pretended to be the second master of the Red Flower Club to participate in the training of the Foshan University. When he was in the first team with Haslem, the two of them were not bad.

After the time loop, Guo Xu never talked to Haslem again, but he felt that this person had a good personality and worked hard to play basketball. He was a suitable person for being a teammate.

Haslem played for the Florida Gators during the 1999-2002 season. He reached the NCAA Finals in 2000. He was defeated by Michigan Fantastic Four together. At that time, Guo Xu also covered him with a big hat on the defensive end and was selected into the top ten finals, making him a poor background board.

Guo Xu copied and pasted the information of the three people into a document, sent it to the email address of manager Brian Colangelo, and then made a phone call.

"Bryan, I've chosen the good guys, I hope you can sign all three of them, especially Haslem, I know him, he's an excellent role player."

"Don't worry, I must have done this beautifully." Brian agreed immediately, although he had never heard of the name Haslem.

Moore and Alstom played in the NBA for 4 and 3 seasons respectively, with agents, which are easy to contact. They immediately responded to Brian and expressed their willingness to play preseason for the Suns.

It would be more troublesome to contact Haslem. He was a rookie without even a manager. Brian called his home and answered the phone with a woman, his stepmother. He said that Haslem had gone out and would ask him to call back when he came back.

Then, Haslem's stepmother forgot about this. Brian didn't receive a call all day, and his impression of Haslem became extremely different.

Thinking that Guo Xu had to sign this person in the sun, Brian couldn't ignore it, so he called again the next morning. This time, Haslem finally answered it. After knowing the situation, he said sorry.

"Jason Guo said he knew you and chose your name. You come to Phoenix to participate in the Suns training camp and play preseason for the Suns. As long as you perform well, we will consider signing you."

"Ah?" Haslem was stunned for a moment, his breathing became a little rapid.

"Do you have any questions? Have you already negotiated to play preseason for other teams?" Bryan asked.

"No, I didn't sign the contract... I'm just... so happy." Haslem replied with a wry smile, holding the phone in one hand and pinching the fat on his stomach with the other. His belly was as big as three years and six months pregnant, and he could give birth to Nezha.

After writing down the address, reporting time, contact number and other information, Haslem put down his pen and fell into the sofa depressedly, which was a bit deformed.

He is too heavy, only 203cm tall and weighs 135 kilograms, which is 20 kilograms heavier than when he participated in the draft in late June.

Now he suddenly got the opportunity to play preseason. Haslem wanted to cry very much. He regretted that he shouldn't give up after losing the election and ate buffets and junk food every day. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he seize it?

He was out of the election at 115 kilograms. All the teams in the trial training thought he was too fat and couldn't jump up. Now he couldn't run, how could the Suns keep him and give him a basic salary?

Jason Guo still remembers me as a loser. Does he think I performed well in that final?

Haslem thought about it and it was less than two weeks before the training camp was opened, so it was definitely too late to lose weight. But he still planned to go to Phoenix and thank Guo Xu in person.
