Legend of Tomorrow

In the morning training, Guo Xu was praised by head coach Tom Izzo. When confronting in groups, he ran to catch the ball under the cover of his teammates on the inside. He was very resolute in his 45-degree and corner three-pointers, and made four goals.

Since his rebirth, he has focused on practicing these two points according to the coach's arrangement. In addition to the time loop, this is his sixth training, and his hand feeling has regained some. If he has not improved, it is better to give up his dream of becoming a professional player as soon as possible.

On the defensive end, Guo Xu did better than his predecessor. Jack Layman was angry with his small moves, but the coach applauded him. If short players don't want to become a burden on the defensive end, they must do so. Not being tall is not scary, but lacking a defensive attitude is really hopeless.

Jack Laiman can still score, but his shooting percentage against people is not as terrible as the previous two training sessions. In the eyes of the coach, he is useless. The offense with the ball is the job of the trident in the team, and there is no need for a backup point guard to shoot 40% of the time.

Before the game, Lehmann provoked Guo Xu and said some nasty words. After the training, Richardson wanted to mock him, but Guo Xu stopped him.

Brother, I know you're doing it for my own good, but there's really no need to do such a thing. Guo Xu said lazily.

why?

As long as I continue to celebrate April Fool's Day, he will provoke every day. Whatever he says, what's the point of beating a weak person?

Guo Xu didn't pay attention to Lehman anymore. Less than a week after his rebirth, he clearly felt that he was becoming stronger, much stronger than when he was 29 years old in China, and it would not take long to completely surpass his predecessor. What about Lyman? At a disadvantage in competition with its predecessor.

The memory of his predecessor is still there, and it is easier for Guo Xu to regain his touch than for beginners to practice shooting. After merging the memory, he has more basketball experience, which is a valuable asset.

It's not that Guo Xu's streetball experience in his previous life is worthless. Stadium experience is a psychological thing. The actions of teammates and opponents are judged, and basketball experience plays a decisive role.

What is experience? Playing with a person a lot, you will gradually understand his habitual breakthrough methods, positioning characteristics, defensive positions, good shooting angles, etc. Then you can beat him, or at least target him. But if there are too many opponents, you don't know the opponent's characteristics, so you need basketball experience to make some normal judgments.

For example, most people dribble with their right hand, so the breakthrough position is on your left. Because your left and right hands are in the opposite position to the opponent, so his good right hand breakthrough is to attack your weak left hand. In order to overcome this weakness, you either have to study hard, or do a good defensive stance.

Experienced people will have a horse-like step with both feet, but the left foot should be a little more to the left, and then the right foot should be arched to facilitate acceleration and retreat, so that it is easier to keep up with the speed of the opponent's breakthrough.

For another example, the use of the body when a player breaks through also requires experience. The essence of breakthrough with the ball is not the fancy fake moves on the street court. There are very few street players who can play in the NBA, because the fake moves are not very useful and the explosive power is not enough to pass. The key to the breakthrough lies in two points, changing direction and body locking.

The change of direction is to let the opponent make a mistake in judgment, and then use the opponent's defensive gap to dribble past. Experienced people will also move towards the opponent's hand when they pass by each other. At this time, pushing the opponent back is a reasonable small action and will not be called a foul.

The body position is to protect the basketball (mostly in back-up singles), slowly walk to a suitable position, use the body to create shooting space, and shoot or layup.

In short, as long as Guo Xu gets used to the new body, he must be stronger than his predecessor, and he is better at taking advantage of his own advantages.

After leaving the training hall, Guo Xu and Richardson went back to the hotel to take a shower, and then refused the team's group activities.

Guo Xu proposed to have a big meal, and the two took a ride to the famous local steak restaurant St.Elmo Steak House, which was recommended by the driver.

It is said that many of the shoppers who frequent this restaurant are celebrities and racing drivers. It is a bar style, and the special dish blue cheese steak is superb.

Under normal circumstances, Guo Xu would never be able to afford this kind of place. Now it doesn't matter anymore. He firmly believes that tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and the money he spends will return to his wallet, so why hesitate?

It was the first time for both of them to taste this special delicacy, full of freshness.

Blue cheese is like durian. People who like it will like it very much, but if they don’t like it, stay away, because it has a strong taste and a very special appearance, covered with mold.

Guo Xu feels that with every bite, the mold spores will pass from the mouth to the nose, a bit like musty salted fish. The sauce made from this stuff has less mold smell and more strong dry cheese flavor. He was very satisfied after taking two bites, and felt that rebirth was so wonderful, which was an experience he had never had in his previous life.

Richardson was also very happy to eat, smiling from ear to ear, looking like he was entering the city with an old hat.

Guo Xu asked: Jason, what do you think I can practice to improve my physical fitness as soon as possible?

You have passed April Fool's Day consecutively, and you can still improve your physical fitness? Richardson's eyes widened.

Actually, I'm not sure, so I plan to try.

Richardson thought for a while and suggested: It's very simple. Go to the gym and practice for a week. As long as your strength improves, you will definitely feel the change. You are too thin now, and you don't train your strength systematically in the team. .”

Isn't that for my height? Guo Xu smiled wryly.

Now you don't care about your height?

Guo Xu sighed. I stopped growing in my second year of high school. What are the chances of growing taller in college?

He knows very well that his biggest weakness in basketball is his height. He wished he could grow a bit taller, and it would be nice if he grew to be over 1.9 meters. Unfortunately, in his memory, he belonged to the type of person who grew up early, and he hasn't gained a centimeter since the second grade of high school.

In addition to nutritional status, 70% of the initiative in a child's height is in the hands of parents, because 35% of the factors that determine height come from the father's genetics and 35% from the mother. If both parents are not tall, then it depends on the 30% effort of the day after tomorrow.

Guo Xu's father's height of 177cm is not bad, but his mother's height of 158cm is a small bird, and his current height is in line with genetics.

If I were you, if this happened to me, why would I have to play for a week and then train again? The food here is so delicious. Richardson smiled as he cut the steak, Will you continue to come tomorrow? ?Although I don’t remember your treat, but don’t forget to call me if you have something good to do, I’ll eat, play and sleep with you.”

You are an escort! Guo Xu rolled his eyes. Why don't you say train with me?

What am I training for? According to your guess, I don't remember these things at all. Tomorrow is still the match day. I have to save my energy and prepare for the semi-finals with my best condition.

Guo Xu shook his head. I don't plan to play. I want to practice for a while to see the effect. I want to become stronger.

You have enough time? Richardson expressed puzzlement.

Guo Xu smiled and said: This is the difference between us. Your physical fitness is so good that you can crush most people with your body. I am different. I am very ordinary. Only weak people understand the value of strength.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly figured out why Richardson failed to become a superstar in his previous life.
