In the morning training, Guo Xu was praised by head coach Tom Izo. In the group confrontation, he ran to catch the ball under the cover of his teammates on the inside, and made a resolute three-point shot of 45 degrees and bottom corners, hitting four balls.

Since his rebirth, he has focused on these two points according to the coach's arrangement, and this is his sixth training session with the time loop, and he has regained some of his feelings. If he doesn't improve, it's better to give up his dream of becoming a professional player as soon as possible.

On the defensive end, Guo Xu did a better job than his predecessor, and Jack Lehmann, who made a small personal move, was very angry, but the coach applauded. Short players have to do it if they don't want to be a burden on the defensive end, and it's not scary to be without height, and a lack of defensive attitude is really hopeless.

Jackleiman can still score, but his shooting percentage is not as high as the previous two training sessions, and he is of little use in the eyes of the coach. Attacking with the ball is the job of the trident on the team, and there is no need for a backup point guard to shoot wildly from the field.

Before the game, Lehmann provoked Guo Xu and said a few ugly words, and after the training, Richardson wanted to taunt him twice, but was stopped by Guo Xu.

"Dude, I know you're doing it for my good, but you really don't have to do it." Guo Xu said lazily.

"Why?"

"As long as I continue to celebrate April Fool's Day, he will provoke every day, whatever he wants, what's the point of hitting a weak person?"

Guo Xu didn't take Lyman seriously. Less than a week after his rebirth, he clearly felt that he was getting 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 the predecessor is still there, and Guo Xu wants to regain his feel, which is easier than beginners practicing shooting. After fusing his memories, he also has more basketball experience, which is a valuable asset.

It's not that Guo Xu's experience in playing street ball in his previous life is not valuable, court experience is a psychological thing, teammates and opponents judge their actions, and basketball experience plays a decisive role.

What is Experience? Playing with a guy a lot, slowly you will get to know how he is used to breaking, his movement characteristics, defensive position, shooting angles, etc. Then you can defeat him, or at least target him. But if there are many opponents, you don't know the characteristics of the opponent, so you need basketball experience to make some common sense judgments.

For example, most people dribble with their right hand, so the breakaway position is on your left. Because your left and right hands are opposite to the opposite position, the right hand breakthrough that he is good at is to break through your weak left hand. In order to overcome this weakness, you either have to study hard or do the right defensive stance.

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

Another example is the use of the body when a player breaks through, which also requires experience. The essence of breaking through with the ball is not the kind of fancy feints on the street court, and few street players can play the NBA, just because the feints are not very effective and the explosiveness is not enough. The key to the breakthrough lies in two points, the change of direction and the body position.

Changing direction is about making the opponent misjudge, and then taking advantage of the opponent's defensive gap to dribble. When an experienced person passes by the opponent, he will also make a move towards the opponent's hand, and then push the opponent backwards, which is a reasonable small action and will not be blown foul.

The body is in position, which is to protect the basketball (mostly singles with the back), slowly move to the position that suits you, and use your body to create hand space for throwing or layups.

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

Leaving the training hall, Guo Xu and Richardson first 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, saying that many of the people who frequented this restaurant were celebrities and racers, and the bar-style style, the specialty blue cheese steak, was amazing.

Under normal circumstances, Guo Xu would never afford to consume this kind of place, but now it doesn't matter, he firmly believes that tomorrow is still April Fool's Day, and the money spent will return to his wallet, so what are you hesitating about?

Both were tasting this specialty for the first time, and it was full of freshness.

Blue cheese is like durian, people who like it will like it very much, and if they don't like it, they will stay away because it has a strong flavor and a very special appearance, which is full of mold.

Guo Xu felt that every bite would be eaten by the mold spores from his mouth to his nose, a bit like moldy salted fish, the sauce used to make this steak has less moldy flavor and more rich dry cheese flavor. After two bites, he was very satisfied, and felt that rebirth was too beautiful, which was an experience that he had never experienced in his previous life.

Richardson ate happily and smiled from ear to ear, looking like an old hat had entered the city.

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

"You have spent April Fool's Day in a row, and you can still improve your physical fitness?" Richardson's eyes widened.

"Actually, I'm not sure, so I'm going to try."

Richardson thought for a moment and proposed, "It's very simple, go to the gym, practice for a week, as long as the strength increases, you can definitely feel the change." You're too thin now, and you don't train your strength systematically in the team. ”

"Didn't I do that to get taller?" Guo Xu smiled bitterly.

"Now you don't care about height?"

Guo Xu sighed. "I stopped growing in my sophomore 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 hoped that he could grow a little longer, to more than 1.9 meters, but unfortunately he belonged to the type of person who grew up early in his memory, and he never increased by a centimeter after the second year of high school.

In addition to nutritional status, 70% of a child's height is in the hands of parents, because 35% of the factors that determine height are inherited from the father and 35% from the mother. If both parents are not tall, 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 belongs to the bird-like type, and his current height is in line with genetics.

"If I were you, if this kind of thing happened, why would you have to play for a week and then train, the food here is so delicious." Richardson smiled as he cut the steak, "Will you continue tomorrow?" Although I don't remember your treat, don't forget to call me if there is a good thing, and I will eat and play and sleep with you. ”

You're an escort! Guo Xu rolled his eyes. "Why didn't you say to train with me?"

"What am I training for? As you can guess, I don't remember any of that, but tomorrow is a match day, so I'll have to conserve my energy and be in the best shape for the semi-finals. ”

Guo Xu shook his head. "I'm not going to play, I want to practice for a while to see the effect, I want to get stronger."

"Do you have time?" Richardson was puzzled.

Guo Xu smiled: "This is our difference, your physical fitness is too good, you can crush most people with your body." I'm different, I'm ordinary, only weak people understand the value of strength. ”

After saying that, he suddenly figured out the reason why Richardson failed to become a superstar in his previous life.
