Chapter 154 [Let go of that girl! 】

In addition to practicing dribbling and shooting skills, Ganon Baker also arranged some courses for Guo Xu to improve his physical fitness, and he would exercise for some time every time.

These items include crossing the front and back of the jumping force, crossing the left and right ropes; holding the ball horizontally with the horizontal movement speed and balance, crossing the mini obstacles vertically; five movements make people have faster first step starts, etc.

When he was in Polis, Guo Xu was practicing by himself. The most threatening thing about entering the NBA was not breakthrough but shooting. He needed to find cover, relying on speed to break through the big man. Facing the defender's defense, he mostly shot from the outside, and if he couldn't pass, he would pass.

Under the guidance of Ganon, after three months of hard training, Guo Xu's ball-handling skills have made significant progress. He has done some small details and dribbling becomes smoother and faster.

However, Guo Xu's physical fitness has not changed much, and the dunk is still free.

When he was in Polis, he improved quickly because his starting point was low. Now his physical fitness is medium to the top position in the NBA. If he goes up to the top level, it will not be so easy to improve.

Guo Xu was able to figure this out and was very satisfied with the current progress.

It is difficult for others to make progress during the season. Even if they enter the offseason, they will only practice hard for three months at most. If they have a longer period, they will be overly tired, which may affect their state in the new season. Fisher, who has a stress fracture, is an example. Yao Ming, who often participates in international competitions in his previous life, made Chinese fans even more depressed.

Guo Xu practiced three new moves with the ball and made a certain accuracy in the throwing. Ganon Baker guided the action in the early stage, was responsible for correcting mistakes in the later stage, and improved his offensive skills.

Doing the same thing continuously allows Guo Xu to accumulate a lot of experience in throwing.

First of all, he must control his steps. The most common thing he uses is a three-step layup jump shot. The first step is to start the breakthrough and pull the ball, take two more steps, and then he must jump into the air and throw the ball with one hand, otherwise it will be a violation of walking. He is not a privileged emperor. The more coherent his movements, the higher the hit rate.

Second, he should throw and throw quickly. No matter what posture, in order to prevent the big man from blocking, he must speed up and throw it out. Once hesitates, he will lose the best throwing opportunity. The rest depends on the feel and leave it to fate.

The third is the arc of his shot, as high as he can, so that he can not only avoid the cover, but also increase the shooting rate. The larger the arc of the basketball running, the higher the chance of falling into the basket. Even if he hits the edge of the basket, he is likely to score a goal after bounce.

As for the appropriate shooting distance and shooting timing, he has to adjust the defense he faces during the game. The distance is usually on the front or both sides, and the shooting rate is very high. If it is farther, it will increase the difficulty of shooting, and it will be easy to be blocked by a tall inside line if it is closer.

Guo Xu felt that he had practiced his skills almost well, and he wouldn't be able to chew more of them. He would first practice these moves. Next, he would no longer look for Cannon Baker, but instead went to the stadium to fight Kobe in the morning. If he could easily score under Kobe's strict defense, he would definitely be able to deal with Iverson. The defense of the two was not on the same level.

That day, Guo Xu went to the stadium after breakfast and successfully met Kobe and his wife.

He walked over and shouted, "Let that girl go, I'm going to fight Vanessa alone."

"..." The two of them turned their heads together, stunned, and looked confused.

Kobe looked at Guo Xu, his eyelids twitched. "What?"

"I'm sorry, I missed my tongue when I was excited." Guo Xu waved his hand and pointed at Kobe and said, "Let go of that girl, I want to play basketball with you one-on-one."

Vanessa was so funny that she laughed, her two rows of teeth were exposed, and she waved her hand to say hello to Guo Xu.

Kobe looked at Guo Xu with a smile, suspecting that he was laughing at him playing basketball with his girlfriend, and hummed: "Okay, come on, Nisha (nickname), sit on the sidelines for a while and see how I abuse this kid."

"Wait, I'll warm up first."

After chatting for a while, Guo Xu finished a simple warm-up exercise on the court and said that he was OK.

The rules are the same as usual when the Lakers train a one-on-one challenge. They determine the outcome by 10 goals and take turns to attack. They do not continue to attack after one side scores.

Kobe passed the ball to Guo Xu and asked him to come first.

Guo Xu did not try a long shot, lowered the center of gravity, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, gently lit the left shoulder, and changed direction to the right. Since the ball was always below the knee, he changed direction a little faster than before, but Kobe's prediction was very accurate, so he still easily kept up.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball behind his back and changed direction to the left side significantly. This fake move still failed to shake Kobe away.

If it was before the special training, Guo Xu was blocked at this time, and his subsequent choice was to step back jump shot or pass. Facing Kobe, he couldn't create a good shooting space, so he could only pass.

Now he has practiced new tricks of dribbling. He held the ball with his left hand and leaned against Kobe, shook his left shoulder gently in the middle, and at the same time, he gently patted the basketball with his right hand to his left hand, making a fake move to turn to the middle. Kobe's center of gravity moved slightly, and he held the ball with his left hand and quickly turned to the right, and the movement was completed in one go.

Kobe had never seen Guo Xu play like this before, and his reaction was slightly slower. Guo Xu was short and turned faster than Kobe. He started to get rid of it in one step, and easily entered the basketball with his left hand. 1 to 0.

Kobe attacked, and he first broke through the frame, dribbling the ball under his crotch twice in a row to the right. Halfway through the racket, Guo Xu took a step forward and reached out to steal it successfully.

This is a gambling steal, and players should try to avoid when playing games. Guo Xu is so defensive because he has no choice but to keep a distance and try to intercept the ball. If there is a misalignment in the game, he has to be so defensive to the opponent's swinger.

Guo Xu attacked, dribbling the ball under his crotch to his right hand, and slid his right shoulder, changing direction to the left. His first move was still the cross-step change direction that Iverson was good at. Kobe was familiar with this move to defend, so he followed up with the horizontal movement.

Guo Xu held the ball with his left hand and brought it to 45 degrees on the left side. Kobe was not close to his body. At this time, Guo Xu made a bold dribble move, quickly dribbling the ball with his right hand and gave it to his left hand, then pulled the ball up with his left hand and turned to the bottom line with his left hand.

This time the dribble has the risk of being stolen, which is similar to a street ball movement. The advantage is that as long as the opponent is not close to the body, he is attracted by the dribble behind the back, even if his body does not move, he will look to the left and will be thrown away.

Guo Xu completely passed Kobe, and put his right hand into the basket and easily scored a layup. 2 to 0.

Kobe was very embarrassed. He and Guo Xu fought one-on-one and won the game every time. Today, he underestimated the opponent. When his girlfriend was an audience, his opponent scored consecutive goals, which was not OK.

"Be careful, I'm going to be serious." Kobe said coldly.

Guo Xu smiled and said, "Come on, I'm going to fight you one-on-one to improve my level, and you don't have to let me play."

Kobe stopped talking nonsense, and changed direction to break through with the ball, and did not shake Guo Xu away from the face frame. He used his back to play, leaned against the man and walked to the low post, forced his turn and squeezed away Guo Xu, and dunked the ball with one hand. 2-1.

Kobe can get rid of the big man with his back by speed. He has a height and strength advantage when playing against a small man. All teams are not easy to defend alone. He must find a swingman with a similar size to Kobe.

Guo Xu is not depressed when he conceded the goal. He will defend himself in the future, not Kobe. Even if he changes teams in the future, the coach will not arrange a task to defend Kobe.
