Chapter 151 [When do you want to start?] (10)】
Guo Xu and Austin went out for an afternoon, and also experienced an entertainment that neither of them had played - indoor flying.
This is also known as wind tunnel flight, which is to artificially create and control the air flow to "blow" people up in a specific space, levitating, flipping, rising vertically, and falling rapidly, so as to experience "flying".
The 6 blowers at the bottom of the flight capsule were turned on at the same time, which was equivalent to a 16-level typhoon, and there was a deafening sound in the wind tunnel.
I went home at night and slept for a while, and after falling asleep, Guo Xu became very energetic again, he looked at his watch at 6 o'clock, January 3.
After waking up, he called his agent, Happie Waters, and asked him to go with him to Origina l Pantry for breakfast.
Opened in 1924, this downtown restaurant is open 24 hours a day and serves an excellent traditional breakfast. In Guo Xu's opinion, there are some of the best toast and bacon in Los Angeles, which are delicious and very tempting.
After entering the time loop, Guo Xu became more generous, shared the blessings with his friends, and ordered a table of things.
Eating delicious food, Guo Xu said: "Harpy, don't worry about endorsement advertising for now, help me contact a basketball trainer, I want to practice breakthroughs, throwing, and high-hitting boards." ”
Harpy wondered: "What do you want a trainer to do in the regular season?" You don't have time, if you want to practice you'll have to wait until the end of the season, you're good now. ”
Guo Xu smiled: "I can spare time, you can help me choose someone today, find a short man who is good at technical sparring, I want to practice a signature trick, otherwise it will be difficult to become an all-star." ”
Previously, the NBA schedule was very tight, and now that he has time, what Guo Xu wants to do most is not to relax on vacation, but to improve his strength as soon as possible, and then have proper entertainment when he is tired of practice, like when he was in Polis, he trained for six days and had one day off.
Catching up with Iverson is his motivation, Kobe Bryant has become an All-Star, one of the best scoring guards in the league, and if he still insists on practicing hard, how can he slack off?
He plans to study Iverson's offense and defense, so that he knows himself and his opponent, but he will not practice defense-oriented, relying on defense to limit Iverson to achieve the goal of winning, he has not thought that offense is the best defense.
Of course, physical fitness also has to be practiced, which is incidental. Theoretically, as long as the player is young, his physical fitness can be improved, Guo Xu is only 19 years old now, and he still has a lot of potential to tap.
In his previous life, Thunder star Westbrook's physical fitness and ball skills have greatly improved after entering the NBA, and he was born to become the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but becoming a superstar is not achieved overnight.
Wei Shao's physical fitness was just average when he participated in the draft, and he became the top by hard work. Otherwise, do you think Kobe Bryant is talking about shooting and hitting iron when he says "Westbrook is 100% like me in terms of attitude towards the game"?
Wei Shao's most impressive thing is the dunk, in fact, he couldn't dunk until his junior year of high school, what is the concept of this among black Americans? You know, "Potato" Nate Robinson was able to dunk at the age of 13, when he was only 1.6 meters. As for O'Neill, at the age of 13, he was almost able to pull off the school basket, which is a typical example of God's appreciation of food.
Which of the gifted high school students in the United States is not a flying stream? And Wei Shao did not enter the top 100 high school students in the country when he was a junior in high school, and not many schools looked for him after graduation, so he insisted on entering UCLA University for the sake of his dead friend, and did not get a scholarship until the last moment.
Then he practiced in college for two years and entered the NBA body side vertical bounce of only 76CM, which was at the same level as Guo Xu, and the draft template of that year was only Monta Ellis.
Therefore, the biggest factor in Wei Shao's success is not talent, but diligence, he is not the talent crushed by the "impression flow", it all depends on his body, no technology, low IQ, only he can prevent Durant. After Durant ran to the Warriors to "turn enemies into friends", the two teams competed, and he obviously couldn't prevent it.
Harpy knew what Guo Xu's personality was, and persuasion was useless, so he did it when he thought of it.
After breakfast, Harpy immediately called several agents in the circle to ask about the trainers, and the work efficiency was very high, and three trainers who met Guo Xu's standards were selected in the afternoon.
After Guo Xu read the information, he made a decision to choose the youngest one, a rookie who had played in the NCAA. He's 28 years old, has good ball handling skills, is good at throwing, and his name is Ganon Baker.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Ganon Baker was a leader among basketball trainers, and now he is not very famous.
He was a well-known player in high school, and after graduating, he was invited by more than 20 Division 1 schools before choosing to play at Duke University. In his freshman year of college, he was selected to the All-Rookie Team of the Atlantic Division. He later transferred to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where he completed his studies.
After graduating, Ganon played in semi-professional leagues before deciding to become a coach and work as a trainer training professional basketball players in offensive skills.
By 2018, Cannon had produced more than 25 best-selling basketball training DVDs, focusing on the most impactful training and basketball training techniques. His NBA clients include Amare Stoudemire, Durant, James, Paul, Harden and many other big-name stars.
Not being able to play in the NBA is an eternal pain in Ganon's heart, and he only played in the summer league for the Nuggets. ALTHOUGH HIS TECHNIQUE IS EXCELLENT, HE IS ONLY 180CM TALL AND IS A WHITE MAN WITH TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVENESS. His dribbling skills are very good, and his shooting is extremely accurate, but unfortunately only pure skills can't play in the NBA, and any 3rd rate guard can beat him up with physical confrontation.
For him, being a coach is the best choice.
Guo Xu called Ganon in Los Angeles to meet at the company he worked for.
When Guo Xu expressed his demands, Ganon asked: "Guo, do you really want to hire me as a trainer now?" The NBA regular season is underway, and you simply can't do the high-intensity workouts that I suggested, and even if you do, you'll have to wait until the summer offseason. ”
"No, all I want is to practice now, and it won't make sense to wait until summer." Guo Xu insisted on his opinion: "I know my physical condition very well, high-intensity training is definitely no problem, the key is that I want to get stronger before the playoffs." ”
Of course he has no problem, his body is a bug in the cycle, and he wakes up in the apartment at 6 o'clock every day.
"It's useless if you practice every few days, it will only affect your game form, which is counterproductive, and if you are overtired, you will be prone to injury." Ganon felt that Guo Xu was a layman, and he had to be responsible for his customers.
Guo Xu is not an ordinary NBA player, he is the sixth man of the Lakers, the best rookie, and the third scoring point of the team.
"I just want to practice offensive skills, don't I focus on physical fitness, can't I charge by the number of times?" Guo Xu asked.
"No, I have to be responsible for the customer." Ganon's face was expressionless, and his words were strict. "This kind of training doesn't do you any good, and the offensive technique can't be practiced in a few times, it's too easy for you to think about."
No matter what Guo Xu says, as a good trainer, Ganon has to think about the other party, this is a matter of professional ethics, even if he is idle for a few months, he can't make this kind of money!
Guo Xu said: "I am willing to pay 5,000 US dollars for a training, what do you think?" ”
Ganon laughed, "Okay, when do you want to start?" ”
