The two talked about offense again, and Peterson couldn't give Guo Xu much advice in this regard, the two were in different positions and had big differences in size.

Peterson averaged 11.6 points per game in four years at university, had average ball handling ability, excellent off-ball running, full of physical strength, and was good at catch-and-shoot jumpers. In addition to his mid-to-long-range shots, he also scored with power and good bounce to eat swingmen around the box.

His offense is almost always a face frame, with his back and low feet in the middle of the box, which is a pure outside play.

Guo Xu's long-term goal is to become a super point guard, at least not to be called a "black hole". On the defensive end, point guards are the most susceptible to questioning.

In the NBA, a basketball league with overflowing talent, physical condition is the greatest talent, and skills can be taught by coaches and practiced by players, but not by height. If you have a height defect, you can easily be eaten hard by your opponent on the defensive end.

In the previous life, Nash and Iverson were said to be black holes but won the MVP, and they focused more on the offensive end and failed to lead the team to a championship. Isaiah Thomas averaged nearly 29 points per game for the Celtics, and the Green Army was reluctant to give him a big contract and traded him to the Cavaliers in the summer.

But the same small guards, there are also those who have been praised for their good defense, Patrick Beverley, Mike Conley, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, etc., none of them are taller than 185CM.

If he could, Guo Xu wanted to defend to Paul's level. Paul is 183CM, and his defense does not rely on height, but on ball quotient.

Paul's on-court intelligence is among the best in the NBA, pestering opponents, waiting for opportunities to shoot and break the ball, and predicting accurately. That's why Paul was the 4th pick in the first round and Thomas Jr. was 60th overall in the second round.

Guo Xu said that he would participate in the draft this year, not because of casual nonsense, but because he really planned to do it. He thinks about how to end the time loop every night before going to bed, and since he hasn't dreamed since the cycle began, he guesses that the end condition has something to do with the final dream.

He dreamed that he was drafted in the 2000 NBA Draft and was selected with the fourth pick...... This is too high, and the Bulls boss will not pick him in that pick even if he is demoted. Then, the key to getting out of the loop can't be the order, presumably as long as he is chosen.

If he practiced his skills on April Fool's Day to the point where he could be selected, then he would definitely be called the ten-mile slope sword god of the NCAA, but he didn't know how many days he had to cycle.

Guo Xu is not afraid, and he doesn't feel that this kind of day is boring at all, he eats and drinks spicy food every day, and his ability is still improving, what is he not satisfied with?

After eating, Peterson did not immediately go back to the hotel to rest or join up with other teammates to play, and proposed to play with Guo Xu.

"Guo, if I leave you behind to play by myself after eating, everyone will despise me. Since you're asking me about defense, why don't we find a pitch to play? ”

Guo Xu smiled and said: "No, I just need to know the direction of development, there is an important game tomorrow, you have to save your strength to deal with the opponent's top scorer." ”

Peterson was embarrassed, and for him, eating at such a restaurant was also a life-improvement. College players are poor, and big names are no exception, and the NCAA is just a college sports league, and players are not only not paid, but also not allowed to accept endorsements.

Truth be told, it's unfair, no matter how much money the NCAA basketball game is attracting, and no matter how much money the NCAA gives back to student-athletes each year. According to NCAA regulations, student players are not allowed to receive any fees other than scholarships. Moreover, among the three levels of the NCAA, only the schools in Levels 1 and 2 can set up sports scholarships, and the schools in Levels 3 do not even have sports scholarships.

The NCAA clearly states that schools are not allowed to pay players wages or give money to players privately in the form of red envelopes. Once discovered, both the school and the player will be severely punished, with the heaviest penalty being the disqualification of the player's school for an entire year.

Peterson had to pay for his tuition, he went on a twice-weekly date with his girlfriend, and his wallet had long since deflated.

Peterson asked, "If you don't practice, why don't you participate in group activities?" ”

"I'm going to go to the gym, it won't affect my form, you'll know tomorrow. Don't worry about me in the afternoon, as long as you recognize me as a friend, I'm going to compete with you in the NBA in the future. ”

Guo Xu kept shirking, Peterson was no longer hypocritical, called to ask his teammates where they were, and asked them to hang out and eat.

Guo Xu went to the gym according to the original plan, he and Peterson are not in the same position, and it makes little sense to practice together. In the evening, he went back to the hotel to sleep exhausted......

Next, Guo Xu did this every day, and the time loop showed no sign of ending, and two weeks passed quickly.

His fitness results are better than expected, and all his abilities have improved. He would carry a piece of paper in his wallet to record yesterday's important data, which he would use as a comparison when exercising, and his progress would be visible to the naked eye. Miraculously, his figure has not changed at all, he is still 180CM tall with shoes and weighs 73 kg.

It's a terrifying discovery, and if his physicality improves and his size stays the same, it will be confusing in the game, especially in terms of strength, he will be much stronger and more resistant than he looks.

He didn't know if there was a limit to his workout, and if he didn't, it would be amazing.

Think about it, if a player's physique looks like Jennings on the surface, but James on the inside, they are all "James Emperor", and the meaning is completely different. Even if he is only 180CM tall, it is difficult for the opponent to hold the ball against him, so he can only shoot against him by his height advantage. Kyle Lowry, the former Raptors star in the past, is this kind of point guard, 183CM tall, and strong enough to withstand the forward.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility, Guo Xu's two-week progress is obviously due to the low starting point, and he exercises in a way that challenges the limit, which is not pleasant and requires great perseverance.

When most people encounter Guo Xu's situation, the first thing they think of must be how to end the cycle or enjoy themselves. If there is a person with a bad heart, maybe he will start to commit a crime a long time ago, kill people, set fire and rob ** no evil, do whatever he wants, anyway, he is not afraid of being caught, and he will go back to the hotel as soon as he wakes up.

Guo Xu never thought of using the time loop to do criminal things, but simply wanted to become stronger.

He may be sleek, but he is not accidental; He likes to act spontaneously, but he also sets a bottom line for himself.

He knows that people often do something that makes it a habit, whether it's good or bad, and it's the same in the time loop. He can't lower what he sees as a principled bottom line. It's like a slow poison that betrays yourself, and some things change completely when you lower your bottom line a second or third time.

As a normal person, of course, he also longs for something for nothing, and has made some attempts to see if he has superpowers. He tried to pause time, or with a sudden "duang", he traveled through time and space. It's a pity that he is just an ordinary person, he has no mental power, fighting spirit, ninjutsu, and speed power, and if he wants to improve, he can only rely on learning and practice.

He also likes to enjoy, but after having enough strength, he can't wait to surpass his ordinary self.
