Chapter 11: [The value of power]

Morning training, Guo Xu was praised by head coach Tom Izzo. In the group confrontation, he took a shot from the running position under the cover of his inside teammates. He made a firm three-pointer shot at 45 degrees and the corner, hitting four goals.
Since his rebirth, he has practiced these two points in accordance with the coach's arrangement, plus the time loop. This is his sixth training, and he has found some feeling. If he hasn't made progress, he might as well give up his dream of becoming a professional player.
Guo Xu did better on the defensive end than his predecessor. Jack Lehman, who was intimidated by small actions, was very angry, but the coach applauded. If short players do n’t want to be a burden on the defensive end, they must do so. No height is not terrible, and a lack of defensive attitude is really unhelpful.
Jie Kleman can still score, but the hit rate is not as terrible as the previous two trainings, and he is useless in the eyes of the coach. Attacking with the ball is the job of the team's Trident, and it doesn't need a backup point guard to shoot 40% from the field.
Leiman provoked Guo Xu before the game and said a few unpleasant words. After the training, Richardson wanted to mock him and was stopped by Guo Xu.
"Dude, I know you are good for me, but I really don't need to do this kind of thing." Guo Xu said lazily.
"Why?"
"As long as I continue to celebrate April Fool's Day, he will provoke every day. Just tell him, what's the point of fighting a weak person?"
Guo Xu stopped Lehman in his eyes. Less than a week after being reborn, he clearly felt that he was getting stronger, much stronger than when he was 29 years old in China, and it would n’t take long for him to completely surpass his predecessor. What about Lehman? At a disadvantage in competing with its predecessor.
The memory of 's predecessor is still there. Guo Xu finds his hand feeling easier than a beginner practicing shooting. After merging memories, he has more basketball experience, which is a valuable asset.
It ’s not that Guo Xu ’s previous experience playing streetball was worthless. The court experience is a psychological thing. The judgment of teammates and opponents ’actions. Basketball experience plays a decisive role.
What is experience? You play more with a person, and slowly you will learn about his usual breakthrough methods, positioning characteristics, defensive position, good shooting angle, etc. Then you can defeat him, at least against him. But if there are many opponents, you do n’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 breakthrough 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 project your weakness left hand. In order to overcome this weakness, you are either diligent and hard-working, or you are doing a good defensive posture.
Experienced people can walk on two feet, but the left foot should be a little more to the left, and then the right foot should be arched to facilitate acceleration and retreat, so that it is easier to keep up with the speed of the other party's breakthrough.
For another example, the player's use of the body when breaking through also requires experience. The essence of the ball-holding breakthrough is not the kind of fancy fake action on the street court. Street players rarely have the ability to play in the NBA, because the fake action is not very useful and the explosive force is not enough to pass. The key to the breakthrough lies in two points, the change of direction and the position of the body.
Reversing is to make the opponent make a mistake, and then use the opponent's defensive gap to dribble the ball. Experienced people will move away from the opponent's hand when they pass by. When they move the opponent back, it is a reasonable small move and will not be fouled.
The body card position is to protect the basketball (mostly singles on the back), slowly move to the position that suits you, and use your body to create a hand space for pitching or layup.
In short, as long as Guo Xu is accustomed to the new body, he must be stronger than his predecessor, and he is better at taking advantage of his advantages.
Leaving the training hall, Guo Xu and Richardson went back to the hotel to take a shower, and then rejected the team's collective activities.
Guo Xu proposed to eat a big meal, the two took a ride to the famous local steak restaurant "St. ElmoSteakHouse", which is recommended by the driver master, saying that many of the frequent patrons of this store are stars and racers, bar style , The specialty blue cheese steak is amazing.
Under normal circumstances, Guo Xu can't afford this kind of place. It doesn't matter now. He firmly believes that tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and the money spent will return to his wallet. What is hesitant?
Both are the first time to taste this specialty food, full of freshness.
Blue cheese is like durian. People who like it will especially like it. If you don't like it, you can go away because it has a strong taste and a special appearance. It is covered with mold.
Guo Xu felt that every bite of the mold spores spread from his mouth to his nose, a bit like moldy salted fish. This steak sauce has less mold and more dry cheese flavor. After two bites, he was particularly satisfied, and felt that the rebirth was too good. This is an experience that has never been seen in previous life.
Richardson was also very happy to eat, smiled, and looked like an old hat in the city.
Guo Xu asked: "Jason, what do you say I can improve my physical fitness as soon as possible?"
"You can still improve your physical fitness for April Fool's Day?" Richardson's eyes widened.
"Actually I am not sure, so I plan to try."
Richardson thought for a while and suggested: "It's simple. Go to the gym and practice for a week. As long as your strength improves, you can definitely feel the change. You are too thin now. You don't have systematic training strength in the team. . "
"Isn't that just to make me taller?" Guo Xu smiled bitterly.
"Now you don't care about your height?"
Guo Xu sighed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "I stopped my senior year in high school, what is the chance of growing up in college?"
He knew very well that his biggest weakness in playing basketball was height. He hoped that he could grow a little longer, just over one meter and nine, but it was a pity that he belonged to the kind of people who grew up early. After the second year of high school, he didn't increase one centimeter.
In addition to nutritional status, 70% of the child ’s height is in the hands of parents, because 35% of the factors that determine height come from the father ’s inheritance and 35% from the mother. If both parents are not tall, it will depend on the 30% effort of the day after tomorrow.
Guo Xu's father's height of 177CM is not bad, but the helpless mother's height of 158CM belongs to the small bird by human type, and his current height is in line with genetics.
"If I were you, if you encounter this kind of thing, you have to play for a week and then train. The food here is so delicious." Richardson smiled while cutting the steak: "Will you continue tomorrow?" Although I do n’t remember your invitation, please do n’t forget to call me when I have a good thing. I will eat, play and sleep together.

You escort! Guo Xu rolled his eyes. "Why don't you say training with me?"
"What do I do for training? According to your guess, I don't remember these things at all. Tomorrow or the game day, I have to save my energy and meet the semifinals in the best state."
Guo Xu shook his head. "I don't plan to play. I want to practice for a while to see the effect. I want to become stronger."
"Do you have time?" Richardson said puzzled.
Guo Xu smiled and said: "This is our difference. Your physical fitness is too good. You can crush most people with your body. I am different. I am very ordinary. Only the weak can understand the value of power."
Finally, he suddenly figured out why Richardson failed to become a superstar in his previous life.
