Chapter 411 [Basketball Exercise, Mortal Cultivation]
Guo Xu turned over and got up, found his phone and took a look. It was December 12th, at 6 o'clock.
The stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground, and the next thing he had to consider was how to combine work and rest to exercise and entertainment.
The time cycle is equivalent to increasing his life span, which can not only improve his strength, but also take time to do something else. It is also an immortal body that can participate in dangerous activities and enjoy stimulation that ordinary people will never experience in their lifetime.
Apart from not seeing family and friends for a while, Guo Xu couldn't think of any harm. Even if he entered the time loop in his own world, it would be difficult for him to go back to Phoenix. The two cities are in the east and west, and the flight will take 6 hours.
Is there a kind of behavior, style, and lifestyle in this world that is beneficial and harmless, and there will be no regrets after doing it? Of course, no. He will have troubles when he enters the time loop, but he is willing to pay for these disadvantages.
Just because of a little bit, he feels life is very pleasant. In this world, he is not a star and can go out at will. It's so exciting.
When Guo Xu was unknown, he always thought about becoming famous once, and after becoming famous, he missed the peace of his life when he was unknown. This is how people are contradictory, over and over again, floating and ups and downs, and gradually firm.
There is 1,600 yuan in the bank card, which is not worth mentioning compared to his previous life. It is not enough to invite the Suns teammates to have a meal together, but if he himself wants to eat anything, it is enough to spend. It's just that there are some extreme sports that require equipment that cannot be played. It doesn't matter, he can play other things.
Guo Xu is 22 years old this year. In theory, he can still greatly improve his physical fitness. This time his goal is not only to practice bounce, but also to practice explosive power and speed.
His current speed is almost the same as before the "Flying Squirrel" Damon Stardameier was injured. He can catch up or surpass Iverson a little faster, which will give him a huge advantage on the offensive end.
Guo Xu is still not satisfied with his current speed. Although his directional acceleration is fast, his pace is not big enough to complete the entire game dribble in 3.9 seconds like Devin Harris, who is 191cm tall. He wants to be the fastest person in the NBA, or even the first in history. Why not try it if he has training conditions?
In this way, his training time will be extended because speed and bounce are not equal.
There are many examples of this kind of NBA. Nash's speed is very fast and he can't jump high; Carter and Richardson's jump high, but his speed is average; and McGrady's linear speed is average, but his starting speed is amazing.
There are also people with several balanced qualities, which are rare in NBA. Iverson, Jordan, Kobe, James, Wade, etc., almost all of them have become stars.
Especially James, his starting speed is simply perverted compared to his weight. When others make fast attacks, he catches up with two or three steps and then chases and blocks the shots at his peak.
Guo Xu can achieve it after training because his opponent's strength is not strong.
He was a little lucky that he was stimulated by his teammates this year, which triggered the time loop. If he had to participate in the dunk contest last year and compete with Richardson for the championship, how long would he have to practice before he could go back?
After practicing for decades, I finally went back to participate in the dunk contest and won. Is this basketball exercise? This is mortal cultivation.
Although Fred Jones defeated Richardson in his previous life and won the dunk king, he was actually not creative. It was purely because Richardson had won twice and had no new tricks, so the audience was tired of watching it.
Fred, who is 193cm tall, plays average. He is a player who has no strength and no gimmicks and averages less than 10 points per game. As long as Guo Xu participates, the judges will add him a few points to see his fame, not to mention that he has the gimmick of a short man participating in the dunk contest?
In the following years, Guo Xu had basically no chance to participate in the dunk contest. Josh Smith and Gerald Green were superhumans who jumped up their heads and had their heads over the basket; "Warcraft" Howard had a terrifying height and had both strength and bounce; Nate Robinson's dunk king was a bit watery, but he was shorter, his actual height was only 170cm, and his arm span was also average, and the gimmick made him win three times.
Guo Xu had to make a training plan first and had to use the Magic team's stadium. He didn't want to practice dunking at the open-air court. The feeling of playing ball on concrete and wooden floors is different.
When he was training in the Suns, the trainer had a complete method of training and bounce, but he had not practiced systematically. He mainly practiced speed and took the floor flow route. Now he wanted to practice but couldn't contact the trainer, which was a bit embarrassing. If he practiced randomly according to the method found online, he suspected that the effect was not that good.
After considering it, Guo Xu decided to go to the Magic Arena today and try to train together to see if he can talk to the Magic trainer? If the trainer doesn't help, it would be nice to chat with McGrady. McGrady is a player who can train bounces in a systematic way, and he must have his own method.
It's just that he has a bounce power. McGrady is not worse than Carter. He has the ability to flatten his head and the windmill is on the spot. He didn't win the dunk contest that year because he was not good at tricks and was not creative enough. He threw himself in several performances. The only exception was that Carter helped throw a basketball.
If there is enough attractive creativity, McGrady can compete with Carter. The 2000 slam dunk contest was not Carter, but Steve Francis, who also lost to creativity.
Just jumping high does not mean that you can become the dunk king. On the contrary, if you have excellent creativity, you can make up for the lack of bounce power to a large extent.
After washing up, Guo Xu went out, first withdrew money, then went to the store to buy new sportswear and change into basketball shoes. These must be bought immediately, because there is no double-shaped body, and even if there are ready-made sneakers, it is difficult to meet Guo Xu's requirements.
Guo Xu is used to wearing the exclusive sneakers "jason2" created by Nike for himself. He wants to find a pair of light sneakers, because his series is the lightest sneakers in the NBA. He tried several pairs in a row, and finally chose an Iverson sneaker, which is lighter and convenient for speeding up and changing directions.
After getting the equipment, Guo Xu went to have breakfast, and then took the initiative to call Jesse and said that he had a cold and felt uncomfortable and wanted to get an injection. He asked her to help take a leave, and then he took a taxi to the stadium.
There is a giant statue of O'Neal at the entrance of the Magic Amway Arena in this world. He was selected as the NBA 50 superstars and Hall of Fame early. After joining the Magic as the No. 1 pick in 1992, he has played for the team for 11 years. This is the 12th season of his career. Everyone believes that he will play in the Magic until he retires. The statue is a commendation for him.
Guo Xu wanted to laugh after looking at the statue, but he didn't know what O'Neal felt when he saw it, because his square face looked like Yao Ming.
Guo Xu specially bought a magic training suit. He looked at the posture of attending training when he saw that the security guard did not stop him. He said, "I am the new coach of the team."
The situation of NBA teams is similar, including security guards, sparring coaches, cleaning staff, etc. There are many staff members, and they don’t know all of them. Sparring coaches are often replaced. Guo Xu has a good image, and the security guard doesn’t believe he will come to find faults and hurt the players.
The players arrived early at around 8 o'clock, and the Magic's main point guard Mike Bibby was practicing shooting with the help of the trainer.
When Guo Xu saw Bibi, he felt very friendly. Both of them were in the West, and they were still in the same competition area. They played four games in the regular season each season. They also met them in the playoffs in the Lakers. Although they had never been teammates, they were old acquaintances.
