In the morning training, Guo Xu was praised by head coach Tom Izzo. During the group confrontation, he ran and caught the ball under the cover of his inside teammates. He made a determined three-pointer in 45 degrees and bottom corner, and made four shots.

Since his rebirth, he has been practicing these two points according to the coach's arrangements. This is his sixth training session, and he has found some of his touch. If he has not improved, it is better to give up his dream of becoming a professional player as soon as possible.

Guo Xu did better than his predecessor on the defensive end. Jack Lehman was very angry, but the coach applauded. If a short player does not want to be a burden on the defensive end, he must do this. It is not scary to have a height, and lack of defensive attitude is truly helpless.

Jack Lehman can still score, but his shooting percentage is not as high as the previous two training sessions. In the eyes of the coach, he is useless. The ball-holding offense is the job of the team's trident, and there is no need for a substitute point guard to shoot 40% of the shooting percentage.

Before the game, Lehman provoked Guo Xu and said a few unpleasant words. After the training, Richardson wanted to mock him, but was stopped by Guo Xu.

"Brother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really don't have to do this kind of thing." Guo Xu said slackenedly.

"Why?"

"As long as I continue to celebrate April Fool's Day, he will provoke every day. Just say it, what's the point of attacking a weak person?"

Guo Xu didn't take Lehman seriously. Lehman less than a week after he was reborn, he clearly felt that he was getting stronger, much stronger than when he was 29 years old in China, and it would not take long to completely surpass his predecessor. Where is Lehman? He is at a disadvantage in competing with his predecessor.

The memory of his predecessor is still there, and it is easier for Guo Xu to regain his feel than for beginners to practice shooting. After integrating the memory, he has more basketball experience, which is a valuable asset.

It’s not that Guo Xu’s experience in playing street ball in his previous life is worthless. Course experience is a psychological thing, and teammates and opponents’ actions and basketball experience plays a decisive role.

What is experience? If you play with a person for too much, you will gradually understand the breakthrough methods, movement characteristics, defensive positions, shooting angles, etc. Then you can defeat him, at least target him. But if you have too many opponents, you will not know the opponent's characteristics, so you need basketball experience to make some rational judgments.

For example, most people mainly use their right hand to dribble, 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 break through your weaknesses and left hand. In order to overcome this weakness, you either study hard or practice well or do a correct defensive posture.

Experienced people will have stances on both feet, but the left foot should be a little more to the left, and then the right foot should be bowed to facilitate acceleration and retreat, which will make it easier to keep up with the opponent's breakthrough speed.

For example, players also need experience in using their bodies when breaking through. The essence of ball breakthrough is not the fancy fake moves on the street court. Few streetball players can play in the NBA, but because the fake moves are not very effective, they cannot get over it. The key to breakthrough lies in two points, change direction and body positioning.

Change direction means making the opponent make a mistake in judgment, and then using the opponent's defensive gap to dribble the ball. When an experienced person passes by the opponent, he will also push the opponent away from the opponent's hand. At this time, push the opponent away from the opponent, which is a reasonable small action and will not be called a foul.

When you are stuck in the body, you should protect the basketball (mostly singles on your back), slowly move to the right position, use your body to create space for your hands, shoot or layups.

In short, as long as Guo Xu gets used to his new body, he will definitely be stronger than his predecessors, and he is better at taking advantage of his own advantages.

After leaving the training hall, Guo Xu and Richardson returned to the hotel to take a shower, and then refused the team's group activities.

Guo Xu proposed to have a big meal, and the two took a taxi to the famous local steak restaurant "St.Elmo Steak House", which was recommended by the driver. He said that many of the people who frequent this restaurant are celebrities and racers, with bar style and specialty dishes, blue cheese steak flavors.

Under normal circumstances, Guo Xu absolutely cannot afford such places. It doesn’t matter now. He firmly believes that tomorrow is April Fool’s Day, and the money spent will return to his wallet. Why are you hesitating?

It was the first time both of them tasted this specialty food, full of freshness.

Blue cheese is like durian. People who like it will like it very much. If you don’t like it, stay away from it because it has a strong smell, a special appearance, and is covered with mold.

Guo Xu felt that every bite of the mold spores would be passed from his mouth to his nose, a bit like moldy and salted fish. The sauce used for this steak is less moldy and rich in dry cheese. After eating two bites, he was particularly satisfied. He felt that rebirth was so beautiful, and this was an experience that he had never had before in his previous life.

Richardson was also very happy to eat, laughing from ear to ear, and he looked like he was a rustic hat entering the city.

Guo Xu asked: "Jason, what do you think I can improve my physical fitness as soon as possible?"

"Can you improve your physical fitness by celebrating April Fool's Day in a row?" Richardson's eyes widened.

"Actually, I'm not sure, so I plan to give it a try."

Richardson thought for a while and suggested: "It's very simple. Go to the gym and practice for a week. As long as your strength improves, you will definitely feel the change. You are too thin now and you don't have a systematic training of strength in the team."

"Isn't that going to grow taller?" Guo Xu smiled bitterly.

"Now you don't care about your height?"

Guo Xu sighed. "I stopped growing in my second year of high school. How likely will it be to grow taller in college?"

He knew very well that his biggest weakness in playing basketball was his height. He hoped to grow a little longer and grow more than 1.9 meters. Unfortunately, he was the type of person who grew up early in his memory. He never increased by one centimeter after the second grade of high school.

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% come from the mother. If both parents are not tall, they have to rely on the 30% of their efforts the day after tomorrow.

Guo Xu's father is 177CM tall, but his mother is 158CM tall, which is a humanoid figure. His current height is in line with genetics.

"If I were you, if I encountered such a thing, I would have to play for a week before training. The food here is so delicious." Richardson smiled while cutting the steak: "Will you continue to come tomorrow? Although I don't remember you treating you, don't forget to call me if you have good things, I'll eat, play and sleep with you."

You are a escort! Guo Xu rolled his eyes. "Why don't you say you're training with me?"

"What am I doing in training? According to your guess, I don't remember these things at all. Tomorrow is still a game day. I have to save my energy and face the semi-finals with the best condition."

Guo Xu shook his head. "I don't plan to play. I want to practice for a while first to see the effect. I want to become stronger."

"Do you have time?" Richardson expressed confusion.

Guo Xu smiled and said, "This is our difference. Your physical fitness is too good, and you can crush most people with your body. I am different. I am very ordinary. Only weak people understand the value of strength."
