Chapter 900 [New hobbies, not long-term goals]

Guo Xu made a lot of comments and learned some information about Earth Four himself.

The original family opened a larger Chinese restaurant, with good family conditions and the location was still in East Lansing. After becoming famous, Jason Statham invested in the restaurant. He is really a reliable and good relative. Some of his movie posters and photos with relatives were hung on the wall of the restaurant to attract customers.

Guo Xu did not inherit the family business and had no talent in cooking. Maybe he was a little bit but not Chinese food. Earth II worked in a Western restaurant.

He is a good baby from Earth Four. He has never left East Lansing except for traveling. After graduation, he stayed at school and became a teacher. Ada is also a teacher for an unpopular subject. The two of them were in the same office and didn't even say much.

Martin's girlfriend is Ada's best friend, and Chris is Ada's high school classmate, and then they got to know each other.

The original character is boring. It must be that when he reaches age, his family starts to urge him to fall in love and get married, and he just wants to live a simple life in the future. Guo Xu suspected that he had hidden his talent as a teacher, and both parallel worlds were teachers.

Guo Xu plans to date Ada for a while, which will give him the pleasure of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It's like "I'm usually Superman, and you can't recognize me if you wear a pair of glasses."

Guo Xu, who is back to an ordinary person, cherishes this free time very much and does not have to be wary of fans entanglement and follow-up with paparazzi.

After more than a month, Guo Xu went out to play every day, but he didn't practice football at all, so he was too lazy to practice.

With this mentality, his strength has actually decreased a little from his peak. In the past two seasons, he has been mainly floor flow, and his breakthrough depends on rhythm and pick-and-roll, and he has lost the rush to run as he averaged 40+ per game back then.

Guo Xu was the strongest after the cycle in New York in Earth Three. He also knew that he had regressed compared to that time. Even if his teammates created opportunities for him, he would have played for a longer time, and if he worked hard, it would probably be 30+10.

The strength of a player is only one aspect, and his attitude is equally important. Some people with average physical fitness can play basketball well, largely because of their mentality and self-discipline. Guo Xu can play well now depends on his skills. If he can play 80% of his strength, he is very good. In that cycle in 2007, he learned to play health basketball.

During the 50th cycle, Guo Xu immediately left the apartment after getting up and did not ask Ada. He sent a text message to Martin saying that he had something important to do, and contacted him tomorrow and would be in a separate activity.

If you don’t say anything, it will be very troublesome if the other party calls him. If you don’t have him, two men and two women, just go team up and play.

Guo Xu will get tired of eating, drinking, having fun and dating women every day, so he has to do some serious things to adjust.

This time cycle, he is planning to learn a few new skills to improve himself. There is no harm in knowing more things, and he also has time to cultivate new interests and hobbies.

He can copy musical works and film and television works less and less. If he doesn't learn more, he will not be able to maintain his image as a genius after 2015. He wants to be a real genius, rather than a pseudo-genius who has always been a copywriter.

The first thing Guo Xu wanted to learn was pistol shooting. It was easy to buy guns in Dallas and it was easy to find shooting ranges. He was not afraid of spending money. More than 60,000 dollars in his original account was enough for his daily consumption.

The sharpshooter was fed with bullets, all of them were money, and he also had to have a beautiful and accurate gun. Guo Xu practiced this not to shoot people, but to protect himself. The United States is a country with high crime rates. Who dares to say that he will never meet criminals? He trained for a while and would not sit still and wait for death when encountering emergencies.

And if he practices shooting well, he will also perform better in action movies in the future. Amber became popular because of his beautiful action scenes.

In addition to shooting, Guo Xu was also interested in equestrianism and gave up after playing it a few times.

It’s not that he can’t afford it, but that NBA does not allow players to ride horses at all. This is a sport that is easy to get hurt. Even if he buys a good horse, he is not easy to practice horses with top equipment, and it is even more difficult to participate in the competition.

The rider and his horse have to be together frequently to have a tacit understanding. Guo Xu played basketball last season, and the horse probably didn't know him anymore. He could only regretfully give up the only costume B sport in the Olympics that a member of the British royal family participated.

If he only practices shooting, he will feel boring. After visiting a few more places, he chose two items: fencing and archery. He will not go to college to learn cultural courses, and what he wants to practice is fighting skills.

He has physical advantages in both sports and is easy to get started.

There are three types of fencing: floral sword, sword, and heavy sword.

Guo Xu began to learn the foil swords and found a feeling, and then he practiced heavy swords because he had the greatest advantage in this item and was prone to becoming a master.

The heavy sword is triangular, with an average length of 110cm and a weight of 770 grams. It is a complete stabbing weapon. During the game, only the sword tip is effective to hit the opponent, while the sword body is ineffective to hit the cross-strike. The effective parts it hits are the most common among the three types of fencing, including the whole body, namely the torso, legs, arms and helmet.

It is heavier than a foil sword and the rapier is also hard. Heavy sword competitions require high accuracy. A good opportunity to attack the opponent is often when the opponent starts attacking, and pays attention to defensive counterattacks.

Guo Xu has excellent arm strength, and he feels similar to a foil sword master, and his hands are very stable. He practices a racing car and has a reaction speed that is far better than ordinary people, and can observe the opponent's sword path; he moves very quickly, can defend against the opponent's attack and counterattack quickly with explosive power.

He only practiced for two weeks and abused all the students and won a coach at the club. Because others had no memories, he looked like he was here to play.

After the club's boss and head coach knew that Guo Xu was an amateur, he wanted to hire him to join the club, first participate in Dallas competitions, perform well before participating in national competitions, and one step closer to international competitions or even the Olympics.

Modern fencing is a traditional event of the Olympic Games. In 1896, there were men's foil and sword competitions at the 1st Modern Olympic Games held in Athens. In 1900, men's heavy sword competitions were added at the 2nd Olympic Games held in Paris. Currently, there are only five types of fighting competitions in the Olympic Games, wrestling, boxing, judo, taekwondo and fencing, and fencing are the oldest.

"Do you think I may participate in the Olympics in the future?" Guo Xu was aroused by his childhood dream of swordsmanship.

The head coach said: "You are not very good at practicing fencing at the age of 28. Your advantage is very obvious. People who participate in the heavy swords are generally taller. They are not as fast as you. Your strength is not at a disadvantage, and it is easier to hit your opponent."

If you are big, you will have a big target. Heavy sword athletes are generally around 190cm tall, while Guo Xu is short at 183cm, but his strength is in the NBA, but he is a hidden small cannon.

Comparing footsteps, athletes with heavy swords are used to moving at close range, and their explosive power is completely incomparable to NBA players, let alone sprinters like Guo Xu?

Guo Xu asked with a smile: "If I want to participate in the Olympics, how do I register?"

"You think this is too far away now." The head coach smiled.

“It’s always good to have a goal, so I’m more motivated when training.”

The head coach talked about the situation. It was very simple. He first signed up for domestic competitions in the United States. If he won the championship, he was qualified to participate in the national team selection. If he overwhelmed his competitors, he went to the Olympics. The number of fencing athletes was small, and the competition was not as fierce as that of major sports. He did not need to be rated. Whoever was better was the best.

The head coach is willing to explain because he is optimistic about Guo Xu's prospects and belongs to the type with unlimited potential. He said that he is not a professional person and the club doesn't believe it. However, he is not a celebrity in the Earth Four, and no one knows him in the basketball circle, and even less knows him in the fencing circle.
