Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu's body is well-proportioned, his muscles are not very powerful, and his natural strength is insufficient. If he is 10cm taller, it will be easier to be a model than a basketball player. He always feels light when he plays. Relying on his light weight, he can easily grab the basket with both hands, but he can't dunk.

His stamina is also very average. Apart from the team's normal training sessions, he never does extra fitness exercises in order to grow taller.

Jason Richardson didn't practice too much. His height and strength are genetic. He went to school late, born on January 20, 1981, nearly one year older than Guo Xu, who was born on November 24, and is only 19 this year. But looking at physical fitness, Richardson can finish 90% of NBA players.

It's a miracle that someone like Richardson can't play in the NBA. Because of this, he is not a hard worker, and his upper limit is restricted by inertia. For this genius friend, Guo Xu is really envious and jealous.

When signing the bill, Guo Xu impressed the waiter again. He generously paid the maximum tip of 20%, and left the hotel with the waiter's blessing.

In the afternoon, the two visited local attractions and talked about training plans. Guo Xu gave himself a vacation and started training tomorrow.

He still didn't dream that night, he closed his eyes and opened them again, the fifth April Fool's Day, at six o'clock sharp. He took out a ballpoint pen and a notepad, first recorded the number of days in the cycle, and then wrote down the plan made yesterday.

As usual, he asked Richardson to have breakfast and go to training together, and his performance in the group confrontation was average.

After dinner with his teammates, Guo Xu didn't go out to play with everyone, nor did he invite Richardson to talk about cycling in the two-person world, and went to the fitness center Life Time Fitness in the city alone.

Exercise can't be messed up, only if someone guides you, you won't ruin your body shape. In his previous life, Guo Xu also went to the gym, and he often saw deformed people with super wide shoulders, thick and short arms, and almost no neck bragging about how many kilograms they could bench press. So what about that kind of body and strength? There is no suitable sport to participate in except weightlifting.

Guo Xu chose a chain gym, which is high-end, fully functional, and has a huge space. The membership fee here is very expensive. In addition to a full set of sports and fitness equipment, there are also food courts, beauty salons, children's clubs, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and courts, etc. The equipment and environment are very good. Because of the large space requirements, it was not opened in the city center where land is very expensive, and it is not far from the small hotel where Michigan State University stayed.

As a human being in two lifetimes, Guo Xu had never been to such a high-end fitness club, but when he thought that he was not a mortal and had superpowers, he was full of confidence. He walked to the front desk with a backpack on his back.

A confident person has an extraordinary bearing. Even if Guo Xu is dressed in ordinary clothes, no one will despise him.

The female employee came forward and asked, Good afternoon, sir, what can I do for you?

Guo Xu revealed his identity: I'm a student of the Michigan State University basketball team. I'm here to play the NCAA Final Four. I'm on vacation this afternoon. I want to do some sports. Can you provide any short-term services?

The female employee smiled and said: Of course, we will make a fitness plan for customers according to their interests, including a one-time experience. We arrange a professional personal fitness trainer for each customer. Because everyone's situation is different, so private The coach will help you find a suitable exercise equipment and specific usage methods to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Guo Xu nodded: Sounds good, how to charge?

The female employee replied: We implement a membership system here. If you don't apply for membership, you will be charged 50 dollars a time. Therefore, I suggest that you spend 100 dollars to join the membership. Membership is also available in chain stores in other cities.

Guo Xu made a decision without thinking. I'm going back to Michigan on the 4th. There is no branch of yours there, so I don't apply for membership today, and I will charge you one time.

One-time projects are suitable for Guo Xu, as long as he continues the time loop, tomorrow is April Fool's Day,

The information form will be filled in vain, and it will return to the state before payment, so he will not do useless work.

After paying $50, Guo Xu entered the gym, where a middle-aged Caucasian trainer with Sichuan-style lines between his brows and a bitter look followed him.

Even though he was here to experience in name, the fitness coach also explained in detail the precautions, as many as a dozen, including the diet before fitness, eat less fried and meat foods, do not smoke and drink, must warm up, and practice for a period of time. Drink sports drinks and water, stretch your muscles after exercise to reduce delayed onset muscle pain the next day, and more.

He followed the coach to the physical measurement room, and the instruments on the side of the body used the electrical impedance of the body organs to measure various components in his body, such as muscle content, fat content and other indicators. Finally, a data is printed out with a comprehensive score, which is a score for body metabolism. Guo Xu's fat content of 10% is not bad, which can reach the average level of NBA professional players, with a score of 80. The coach customized a fitness plan for him.

This is nothing to be proud of. Most of the people who come here to exercise are ordinary people, and there are no sports stars. A score of 80 means that Guo Xu is healthy, strong, and full of vitality in terms of the physical level of ordinary people. He weighs 73 kilograms and enters the NBA, no matter how low his fat content is, he will suffer in confrontation.

Guo Xu practiced very hard, as if he couldn't finish until he was exhausted. He did all the items arranged by the coach, exercised the muscles in various positions of the body, and stayed in the fitness area for three hours.

Gu Xu still had enough energy left, so he decided to practice more, and the coach didn't stop him. He smiled and said, Excessive exercise may increase your strength, but it will cause great harm to your body. If you don't practice more, your whole body may be sore tomorrow, and you won't be able to lift your arms. stand up.

The coach's tone was a little disdainful. He guessed that Guo Xu did his best because he felt sorry for the money for an experience.

I'm going to do a test, and I have to practice like this. If I feel sore tomorrow, I will definitely not do this kind of thing again in the future. Guo Xu said, and went to practice sitting rowing again.

Aren't you going to play in the NCAA semifinals tomorrow? How do you play with such fitness? the coach asked curiously.

The semi-finals are not a big deal... If the fitness doesn't improve after three days, it's a big deal... Then I will consider giving up playing basketball and doing something else. Guo Xu said while exercising.

He wanted to see what he would be like when he woke up after being exhausted. The coach couldn't understand his thoughts, and he didn't intend to explain. The next time the two met, they were still strangers.

Guo Xu didn't take the car to leave until it was dark. The feeling was like a high fever of 40 degrees, with shortness of breath and weakness.

He rewarded himself with a lobster dinner at a high-end restaurant, and staggered back to the hotel room at 9:30, Jason Richardson had already sent him several text messages.

Guo, where have you been? Did you go out and get lost by yourself?

Just go to exercise, I want to become stronger. Guo Xu didn't say anything about going to the gym. He took off his clothes and leaned back on the bed, not wanting to move.

Seeing his listless look, Richardson sweated and said, You didn't practice all afternoon, did you? Can you recover tomorrow?

Maybe.

Tomorrow is mainly about adapting to the field. There should be no group confrontation. The amount of training is not large. You should rest well and have strength at night. Richardson laughed.

yes.

... Richardson felt that Guo Xu had practiced too much and didn't bother to say anything. He would definitely not play well tomorrow.

After they chatted for a few words, they turned off the lights and went to bed. Guo Xu soon started snoring, he was exhausted.
