Legend of Tomorrow

That night, Guo Xu also called college coach Tom Izzo and chatted for a while.

Izzo is very good at training players. After the core four left the team, the Michigan State Spartans still ranked first in the Big Ten Conference this season. Many NBA team managers want to hire Izzo to coach.

The Spartans have become a team headed by a newcomer, and their tactics are still fast break and pick-and-roll. Shooting guard Charlie Bell and power forward Zach Randolph have taken on the scoring responsibility, and there is also a point guard named Marcus Taylor who can break through and shoot three-pointers, which made Guo Xu disliked last year. Jack Lehman was firmly pushed to the bench.

Izzo has been paying attention to his disciple's situation in the NBA. He chatted with Guo Xu enthusiastically and wished him better in the NBA. Guo Xu also wished him another great success in leading the team this year and promised to come out and sit down when he returns to East Lansing. sit.

In terms of organizing offense, Izzo gave Guo Xu some advice. He felt that it is not difficult for a point guard to practice passing vision, and he only needs to develop good habits. As long as the player can hold the ball steadily while looking around, observing teammates and opponents, and protecting the basketball, the basic conditions for assisting teammates are met.

In Izzo's view, a qualified defender must first understand the characteristics of each teammate, who has strong offensive ability, and whose shooting rate is high and stable. When the ball is in the hands of someone with strong scoring ability, it will of course be easier to score. In this regard, he feels that Guo Xu did a perfect job in the semi-finals.

The second is that the point guard must know how to judge the situation on the court and observe the opponent's defense. In order to be more confident in scoring, you need to pay more attention to the position of teammates with strong offensive capabilities and the intensity of the opponent's defense against him. This is a focused observation.

The above two points must be observed by Guo Xu himself, and the opponent's defense must be gradually broken down by his organized offense. Of course, defensive loopholes can also be analyzed.

The third is that the point guard must have excellent reaction speed. The openings on the court are fleeting. If you hesitate for a moment, you will miss the opportunity. This is true for the NCAA and even more so for the NBA. It is impossible for Guo Xu to play fast in the Lakers, so he needs to practice his reactions.

Yesterday's car accident also made Guo Xu realize that his reaction was not fast enough and he really needed to practice it. At that time, if he had reacted quickly enough, he could have done a Matrix to dodge bullets, or rolled to the ground, it would have been possible to avoid the car, just like in an action movie.

He hasn't practiced boxing for a long time after joining the Lakers. When he passes the ball in the triangle offense, he stands on the outside and waits for the return pass. His non-moving style of play can easily make people stupid.

After careful consideration, Guo Xu made a new training plan for himself, suspending the one-on-one match with Kobe Bryant, focusing on training his physical fitness and reaction speed, and then going to PK Kobe Bryant when his quality is fully improved.

Now Kobe can guard his offense,

It's because there is not much difference in movement speed between the two. If Guo Xu was as fast and agile as Iverson, Kobe might not be able to prevent his breakthrough.

He did whatever came to mind, and his schedule was changed to five days of exercise, with two days off for free activities.

First, he went to a boxing club for two days to box. He was familiar with this type of exercise and knew its benefits. There are other players in the NBA who receive boxing training in the offseason, such as Tim Duncan. In the history of the NBA, there are also some boxing masters, such as Aunt Larry Johnson, who used boxing skills to beat Alonzo Mourning.

Guo Xu practices boxing not for fighting, but for a lot of footwork and dodge training. Those top boxers are very skilled in footwork and dodge skills, such as Floyd Mayweather, and it is difficult for opponents to hit him.

After NBA players receive these trainings, they can improve their reaction speed and footwork skills, making it easier to change speed and direction when facing defenders during games, and they can subconsciously find the right pivot foot. Guo Xu had certain skills when he broke through before receiving the guidance of Gannon Baker, which is not unrelated to boxing practice.

Next is a day of yoga ball exercise. This is a trick for NBA players to extend their careers. It can better stimulate the muscles in the core of the body and improve the coordination and stability of the practitioner's whole body. It can not only improve special core strength, but also improve joints. Flexibility, effectively prevent sports injuries.

When the core strength is strong, coordination and stability are improved, and it will be beneficial to any exercise. This has been scientifically proven.

In addition, practicing yoga can calm the mind and relax people.

Among NBA stars, Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to practice yoga, which allowed him to stay healthy for a long time and have a very long career. He played 20 seasons in the NBA and became the NBA's historical scoring leader and the first in history. center.

Not many players practice yoga now. Future stars will basically practice it, such as James, Chris Paul, Love, etc. After the Warriors won the championship, head coach Cole also revealed that yoga is a compulsory course for team training. In order to ensure that the players have time to practice yoga, the team even arranged holidays to allow them to participate in the practice collectively.

Of course, this kind of auxiliary exercise does not take much time. Guo Xu feels that one day is enough.

The third fitness program Guo Xu chose was not something other NBA players could participate in. He decided to spend two days a week practicing parkour!

He first contacted parkour enthusiasts in Los Angeles through the Internet, then went to the largest parkour club to take classes, and then went out with several masters to choose a location for activities.

No one dictates that this is the way the world is. Parkour is how you break out of the cage. This sentence in the hearts of many parkour people inspired Guo Xu. He felt that this kind of exercise was interesting and effective.

And thinking of the movie Violence 13, he felt that practicing this was really cool, just like learning Qinggong.

Parkour is a sport that focuses on climbing over obstacles through a series of unique professional skills. This requires athletes to have high flexibility, explosive power and control. Its physical requirements are similar to gymnastics, including training on limbs, waist and abdominal strength, balance, accuracy, aerial concepts, etc. This is the combination of various track and field events. The perfect integration of movement is the art of displacement.

From the basic landing of a person to the unloading force of rolling when landing at high altitude, to the protection skills when making mistakes, and finally forming the conditioned reflex to avoid risks, parkour athletes are the best at it. Some skateboarders always come to parkour masters to communicate, not to learn parkour, but to learn how to fall and how to accept when they make mistakes.

Parkour is indeed of great help to basketball. It can improve players' waist and abdominal strength, explosive power, etc. It can also help players relieve their strength when necessary and avoid serious injuries. In the NBA, when players lay up or dunk, they often throw themselves in the air, and it is very easy to fall after a confrontation. To avoid injury, this kind of fall is very skillful, such as sliding on your back for a distance and fully releasing the force.

The very professional aspect of parkour will become a barrier to NBA players. The NBA contract clearly states that players are not allowed to participate in activities that are prone to injury. If you run like that in a violent neighborhood, the injury will be serious. Each seemingly cool move is often the result of countless bruises and injuries.

Guo Xu didn't care. After the car accident, he became bolder and knew that he would not die no matter what he did in the cycle.

This is the advantage of ordinary height. With Kobe's height and weight, parkour will never be good.
