Jack Kleiman's face was ugly on the sidelines, he was also a first-year newcomer, he firmly believed that Guo Xu's personal ability was inferior to his own, and he thought that Guo Xu had the upper hand in these rounds because of fraud.

He was jealous and uncomfortable, but he didn't know that the other party had long stopped taking him in his eyes, if Guo Xu had a good fight with him for 5 minutes, he would be abused and wanted to cry without tears.

Guo Xu walked up to Cliffs and said, "Martin, don't show mercy, I hope you go all out, so that the training effect is good." ”

Cliffes was stunned for a moment and smiled: "As you wish, but don't trash talk to me." ”

"I was counting on you to cover me on the pitch and pass me more, he provoked me a few times before I fought back." Guo Xu smiled.

In this group confrontation, when Cleves faced Guo Xu, he would unconsciously reserve some strength at first, so that he could deal with it easily and save face, but it did not help much to improve his strength. Recently, he will remind him before starting the fight, even if he can't prevent it, he is willing.

Guo Xu regards Cliffs as an important "touchstone", and if he wants to enter the NBA, he must at least play back and forth with him. Because in his previous life, Cliffs, who was famous in the NCAA, was not successful after joining the NBA, playing a total of 167 games, starting 10 games, and never playing in the playoffs.

The 2000 NBA Draft was known as the worst draft in history, and if he was far from Clifts, it would be difficult to be drafted no matter which draft he participated in '01, '02, or '03.

Cliffs is physically strong, good at changing direction and breaking through, average mid-to-long-range shooting, average organizational ability in the No. 1 position, and too short in the No. 2 position. His style of play is also prone to injury, having only played six seasons in the NBA, three serious injuries, and then forced to go abroad to pan for gold.

Guo Xu's only specialty at present is shooting, with soft wrists and can shoot in all positions.

Now there is an embarrassing butterfly effect, after Guo Xu told his friend Jason Richardson that the Spartans could not win the championship next season, Richardson said that he wanted to participate in this year's draft, and asked Guo Xu to persuade him to leave the team at normal time.

If the Spartans don't have Richardson next season, it will be too difficult for Guo Xu and first-year rookie Zach Randolph to play well, unless he is greatly improved. Guo Xu has no way out, and must participate in the NBA draft this year.

At the beginning of the confrontation, the red team had the ball, Guo Xu was pressed by Cliffs, dribbled across the half court by the width of the court, and passed to Richardson who was running, who received the ball and pulled out three points to meet Peterson with a jumper. 7 to 0.

Coach Izzo applauded Guo Xu a few times on the sidelines, and today he performed eye-catching and cooperated with his teammates very tacitly.

Cliffs took the ball to the front court and played blocking and dismantling with center Randy, Guo Xu has seen this trick many times, and judged the opponent's cover timing very accurately, retreated in time to bypass the cover, and followed Cliffs, who broke through with the ball, to complete the close.

If it was against Lehmann, he would be half the success, Clifts was not impatient, he leaned hard against Guo Xu with his back to protect the basketball, and forcibly turned three steps to the right side and entered the basket.

Guo Xu was not gotten rid of the side, but the difference in height and strength was obvious, and he couldn't jump up when he was squeezed, and Cliffs scored with a right-handed basket and a board. 7 to 2.

Guo Xu's defensive ability has greatly improved compared to when he was first reborn, but it is still not enough to match NBA-level players.

His defensive skills and experience don't work, Cliffs is a point guard who is very good at taking advantage of his body, he is a full 20 kilograms heavier than him, 188 cm taller than 8 cm, and his arm span is 193 cm, which is relatively ordinary, and it is enough to deal with people who are shorter than him.

What Guo Xu can do today is only to fight and attack.

The red team attacked, he led the half court and center Hughes to block and dismantle, dribbled the ball to the right side at full speed to get rid of Cliffs, Randy changed the defense a little slower, Guo Xu pulled the ball up three steps, and the right side relied on speed to pass Randy to score a layup. 9 to 2.

After more than a month of training, he has become more and more daring to break through with the ball, and he is very confident when facing the big man defense in a misplaced position, and will use his speed to get rid of the defense.

The white team attacked, Guo Xu kept a two-step distance and let Cleves shoot, but unfortunately Clifts was different from Lehmann, he knew his weaknesses and didn't try to shoot long at all, and liked to take the ball to a sure position before shooting.

Guo Xu had to wait for the opponent to start the heel defense interference, if Cliffs burst to the basket, the inside teammates could help defend, but Cliffs made a quick stop jump shot at the right corner, and Guo Xu's short weakness was exposed. His bounce power is not as good as that of the other party, even if his judgment is accurate, he can't even seal his eyes.

Cliffs couldn't shoot three points, and the mid-range shot near the penalty area was certain and hit it steadily. 9 to 4.

No, the distance is far away, and it is impossible to cover it, and it is necessary to fight closely to disrupt his shooting rhythm, but the weight gap is too big, how can I withstand my lack of strength?

Guo Xu shook his head, if he wants to limit Cliffs on the defensive end, he can only continue to improve his physical fitness, this is not an overnight thing, he must be mentally prepared to practice hard for a long time in the time loop. Even Chris Paul is not all about technical defense, he is very strong, and with small movements, he can often misplace and withstand some swing people.

The red team attacked, Guo Xu took the ball to the front court, gesturing to his teammates to cover, and Randy changed his defense more actively. Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the right, attracting Randy and Cliffs to go back and forth, and he half-turned and passed to Hughes in the middle without much thought.

THIRD-YEAR HUGHES IS A VERY SOFT WHITE INSIDER, 207CM TALL, 100 KILOGRAMS, OFTEN HUNCHED OVER ON THE COURT, LOOKING LIKE A BIG PRAWN. He's lightweight, doesn't move fast, and he's still a floor stream, and all he can make the coach look at is a steady mid-range shot.

Hughes didn't adjust much to catch the ball, and he made a quick shot from a high post and hollowed into the net. 11 to 4.

Knowing himself and his opponent, playing the same practice match in a row, Guo Xu can predict the next move of his teammates and opponents for many rounds, and his playmaking ability today is Stockton-level, but he can't control his teammates' actions and prevent them from making mistakes.

The white team's attack, also in the middle, Clifts broke through with the ball, Hughes let go of his defender out of the penalty area to change defenses, and was easily passed by the opponent's acceleration.

The center went out of the penalty area, Guo Xu bypassed the cover to chase and block the defender's breakthrough route, Clifts threw the ball into the sky, Randy jumped up in the middle, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 11 to 6.

The red team attacked, Guo Xu dribbled to the front court to block and dismantle, Randy blocked him slightly, and Cliffs chased after him from behind.

He didn't give the ball to Hughes in the middle this time, because Hughes chose to cut in the air, the speed was too slow, and the black inside Randy could return to the defense in place, and eighty percent of the shots couldn't be made.

Guo Xu stopped sharply with the ball in his left hand and turned around and quickly dribbled out of the three-point line, dodging the pinch, Randy withdrew to the restricted area to defend Hughes, and the perimeter became a point guard one-on-one.

Guo Xu turned around to face the frame, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his right hand, and gently probed his right shoulder, Cliffs stepped forward and wanted to be close, Guo Xu held the ball in his right hand and changed to the left side to pass successfully, and the three-point line in the middle stopped and jumped, and the ball went into the net hollow! 14 to 6.

Guo Xu has never been as good as today, coach Tom Izzo stood up excitedly, and Jack Lehmann was even more stunned.
