On the sixth April Fool's Day, Guo Xu jumped up from the bed excitedly as soon as he opened his eyes, and he found that his body was "hanging".

Normally, a young man who does hundreds of push-ups a day will feel severe pain in his chest the next day. Guo Xu practiced bench press and squat 10 times per set, using the weight that was exhausted on the 10th time, although he can only push 50 kilograms of bench press at present, muscle soreness should be inevitable.

Now his whole person is like a reset, his whole body is indescribably comfortable, his spirit is in the best state, and he feels that it is no problem to go out and run 10,000 meters.

No matter how strong an athlete is, fatigue is difficult to get rid of with a good night's sleep, because most of the time they feel not only physical exhaustion, but also a constant, long-term physical and mental tension. To relieve this feeling of tension, it is often necessary for the person to enter a relaxed state of mind, which is more than just physical rest.

If you close your eyes and feel that some parts of your body are stiff, nervous or irritable, even if there is nothing important and immediate to do, there is still a feeling of being on call and on guard at any time, and after falling asleep or even waking up in the middle of the night to feel that something is missing, it is the tightness accumulated after overdrawing energy...... or kidney deficiency.

Young players who have just joined the NBA often hit the "rookie wall", resulting in a serious decline in form for a while, just because they are not as relaxed and adjusted as the veterans.

A spirit like Guo Xu has recovered to a perfect level, which belongs to the BUG-level recovery power, which is impossible for normal people to do.

He washed his face excitedly twice, and went out without brushing his teeth. Like the previous times, he practiced shooting for an hour and woke up Richardson for breakfast and went to practice.

What made Guo Xu depressed was that this training match did not go well, and as soon as his strength improved, the coach changed his tactics.

In the first few minutes, Guo Xu defended Jack Lehmann very successfully, making him 0 of 4 shots, and his teammates played very well. After that, Lehmann began to adjust his style of play at the urging of Tom Izo, he first found a block to get rid of Guo Xu, and then misplaced to break through himself or split the ball to his interior teammates to cut and attack the basket.

Guo Xu can't prevent this move, how can his small body stop the big man from cutting in the air?

The blocking and dismantling tactics made it much more difficult for Guo Xu to defend and he was tired of running, and the offensive end was also affected, and his shooting touch decreased. Although he was not criticized by the coach after the game, his overall performance was not better than Lehmann, who did not shoot three-pointers and had height on the defensive end and could fight.

At noon, Guo Xu called Richardson to take a ride to the restaurant "The Tamale Place", which specializes in Mexican and Spanish cuisine and is very famous in Polis.

Guo Xu skillfully ordered Mexican beef tack, spicy grilled chicken wings, Mexican spicy seafood with French bread, and dessert mango mousse cake.

The young Latino waitress looked at Guo Xu's side face appreciatively and complimented: "Mr. ordered so well, are you a regular customer?" These are some of our top picks. ”

Guo Xu closed the menu and said with a smile: "No, I just heard that these dishes are very famous, so I want to try them." ”

It wasn't until the waiter was gone that Richardson came back to his senses. "What's going on? How do I not remember that you know Mexican food? When have you been here? ”

"I'm in for a treat, you just eat openly, you're welcome." Guo Xu was too lazy to explain too much, and the other party couldn't remember it anyway.

He came to eat Mexican red lobster last night and the waiter recommended these specialties. Eating lobster has the functions of tonifying the kidney, aphrodisiac, nourishing yin, and strengthening the stomach, and can also improve exercise endurance, but he doesn't want to eat the same food continuously, he already has a body that does not conform to the law of conservation of energy, and has capricious capital.

Tasting different cuisines every day is a treat for him. He can afford to eat, and in this era, he goes to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, as long as he doesn't order top-quality ingredients, his personal consumption will not exceed $500.

Richardson is happier than Guo Xu, because he can't remember, every time is a rare improvement in life.

Richardson smiled and asked, "Man, I just invited you to two burgers in the morning, why did you call me to this kind of place?" It's too generous to exchange gifts. ”

"I just want to have a good meal, gluttonous." Guo Xu said with a big grin: "Jason, I have a question, your strength is much greater than when you were in high school, but your shooting is more accurate, how do you make the strength increase without affecting the feel?" ”

Richardson was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You don't say that I haven't thought about this, I usually practice strength and shooting, and practice together." No matter how much strength you have, just remember how much effort you use to shoot? ”

Guo Xu tasted his words, and it was really like this. "Then I'll practice together, play ball in the morning and work out in the afternoon."

"You want to train your strength during the summer vacation?"

"No, I'll go to the fitness center after dinner, you can go back to the hotel or meet up with the others first." Richardson was reluctant to train together, and Guo Xu had no intention of changing his mind.

Richardson thought he was joking. "Do you still have the strength to play tomorrow?"

"Even if I run a marathon, I will still have the strength tomorrow, so don't worry." Guo Xu said with a smile.

The reason for asking this is because he only scored one three-pointer in the morning and his shooting touch dropped. He is worried that hard training strength will affect the feel, in fact, soft wrists are the key, and then it depends on whether the players can continue to practice shooting.

There are many examples of this, Chinese players Liu Yudong and Yao Ming are all bench pressers, and the middle pitch is still scary. Karl Malone has the physique of a wrestler, the mid-range shooting is not bad, LeBron James has a maximum bench press of 190 kilograms, and he still has a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% for many seasons.

After strength training, players will be very tired, their muscles will be sore, which will affect the movement of raising their hands, and few people can insist on training shooting at this time. Shooting training is reduced, and the feel is correspondingly worse.

The waiters served the dishes one after another, and the biggest feature of Mexican food was spicy, and as soon as the seafood came up, the two of them were sweating until they ate it.

Guo Xu stopped after drinking a large glass of water and asked, "Jason, what do you think I should do if I want to defend better?" ”

Richardson swallowed a bite of seafood, sticking out his tongue in disdain. "You shouldn't ask me that, you should ask Morris [Pieterson], he's a defensive expert, he's going to graduate soon, you have to hurry up and ask him for advice."

In Guo Xu's previous life, Peterson entered the NBA and was also an excellent defensive player, he was diligent, tall, and moving in the face of the league's first-class swing people.

Unlike other top-notch defenders, he has fewer small moves. However, his gummy defense can often make the opponent's top offensive players consume more physical strength than usual, and his sense of assistance and defense is also good, and he is a jack-of-all-trades player, not afraid of misalignment, and can defend against the No. 4 position.

In the NCAA, Peterson was twice named the Defensive Player of the Year in the Big Ten and he didn't make the All-American Defensive Team because Duke had a guy named Sean Battier who was even better.

Guo Xu filled Richardson's glass of water. "Thanks, your suggestion is good, I'll invite Morris to dinner tomorrow and talk to him."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be jealous." The corners of Richardson's grinning mouth reached the base of his ears.
