Chapter 154 [Let Go of that Girl! 】

In addition to practicing dribbling and shooting skills, Gannon-Baker also arranged some courses for Guo Xu to improve his physical fitness. He would insist on exercising for some time every time.

These projects include front and back cross, left and right cross skipping to exercise jumping ability; holding the ball to cross mini obstacles laterally and vertically to exercise lateral speed and balance; five movements to make the first step faster, etc.

When he was in Polis, Guo Xu practiced blindly by himself. The most threatening thing after entering the NBA is not breakthrough but shooting. He needs to find a cover and rely on his speed to misplace the big man. When faced with the defender's defense, he mostly shoots from the outside and passes if he can't get past it.

Under Cannon's guidance, after three months of hard training, Guo Xu's ball-handling skills have improved significantly. He has done some small details, dribbling becomes smoother and faster.

However, Guo Xu's physical fitness has not changed much, and dunks are still free of charge.

When he was in Polis, he improved quickly because his starting point was low. Now his physical fitness is above average for the No. 1 position in the NBA. If he goes up to the next level, he will be top-notch, and it will not be so easy to improve.

Guo Xu can figure this out and is 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 have to train hard for three months at most. Any longer than that and they will be overtired, which may affect their condition in the new season. Fisher, who suffered a stress fracture, is an example. Yao Ming, who often participated in international competitions in his previous life, made Chinese fans even more depressed.

Guo Xu practiced three new moves with the ball, and his throws were also accurate. Cannon-Baker guided the movements in the early stage, and was responsible for correcting mistakes and perfecting his offensive techniques in the later stage.

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

First of all, he must control his steps. What he most often uses is a three-step layup. The first step is to start the breakthrough and then pull the ball. He takes two more steps, and then he must jump into the air and throw the ball with one hand, otherwise he will throw the ball out with one hand. Walking is a violation of the law. He is not a privileged emperor. The more consistent his movements, the higher his hit rate.

The second is that he must throw quickly. No matter what the posture is, in order to prevent the big man from blocking the shot, he must throw it faster. If he hesitates, he will lose the best throwing opportunity. The rest depends on the feel and leaves it to fate. .

The third is the arc of his shot, as high as he can, so that he can not only avoid blocks, but also increase his shooting percentage. The larger the arc of the basketball, the higher the chance of falling into the basket. Even if it hits the side of the basket, it is very likely to score a few bounces.

As for the appropriate throwing distance and shot timing, he needs to make appropriate adjustments based on the defense he faces during the game. The distance is generally from the front or both sides, and the shooting rate is very high when it is about two meters away from the basket.

If it is further away, it will be more difficult to shoot, and if it is closer, it will be easily blocked by tall insiders.

Guo Xu felt that he had almost mastered his technique and he was biting off more than he could chew. He wanted to master these moves first. Next, he stopped looking for Ganon Baker and instead went to the arena in the morning to have a one-on-one with Kobe. If he can score easily under Kobe's strict defense, he will definitely be able to deal with Iverson. The defense of the two is not on the same level.

On this day, Guo Xu went to the arena after breakfast and successfully met Kobe and his wife.

He walked over and said loudly: "Let that girl go, I want to fight Vanessa one on one."

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

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

"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue in the excitement." Guo Xu waved his hand, pointed at Kobe and said, "Let that girl go, I want to play basketball one-on-one with you."

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

Kobe looked at Guo Xu with a half-smile, suspecting that he was laughing at him playing with his girlfriend, and hummed: "Okay, come on, Nisha (nickname), sit on the sidelines for a while and watch me torture this kid. .”

"Wait, let me warm up first."

The two chatted for a while, and Guo Xu finished a simple warm-up exercise on the court and expressed that he was ready.

The rules are the same as the usual Lakers training one-on-ones. The outcome is determined by 10 goals. Attacks take turns. It is not a case of one team scoring and continuing to attack.

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

Guo Xu didn't try a long shot, lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball from his hip to his left hand, lightly touched his 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 accurate and he could easily keep up.

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

If it was before the special training, Guo Xu would have been guarded at this time, and his subsequent choice would be to step back and make a jump shot or pass the ball. Facing Kobe, he couldn't create a good shooting space by retreating, so he could only pass.

Now he has practiced a new trick of dribbling. He holds the ball in his left hand and leans against Kobe Bryant. He lightly shakes his left shoulder towards the center. At the same time, he gently taps the basketball with his right hand and gives it to his left hand, making a fake move to turn around to the center. Kobe's center of gravity shifted slightly. He held the ball in his left hand and quickly turned to the right, all in one movement.

Kobe had never seen Guo Xu play like this before, and his reaction was a little slow. Guo Xu, who is short in stature, turns around faster than Kobe Bryant. He breaks away with one step and easily reaches the basketball with his left hand. 1 to 0.

When Kobe Bryant attacked, he broke through the frame first and dribbled the ball to the right twice in a row. In the middle of the ball, Guo Xu stepped forward and reached out to steal it successfully.

This is a gambling steal, a defensive method that players should try to avoid during the game. Guo Xu defended like this because he had nothing to do if Kobe was brought near the penalty area with his back. It was better to keep the distance and steal the ball as much as possible. If there is a mismatch during the game, he has to defend the opponent's swingman in this way.

Guo Xu attacked, dribbling the ball to his right hand from his crotch, lightly exploring his right shoulder, and changing direction to the left. His first move was still the cross-step change that Iverson was good at. Kobe was very familiar with this move and moved laterally to keep up.

Guo Xu held the ball with his left hand and brought it 45 degrees to the left, and Kobe did not protect the ball with his back. At this time, Guo Xu made a bold dribbling move. His right hand quickly dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand, and then he pulled the ball up with his left hand and turned towards the baseline.

There is a risk of being intercepted while dribbling this time. It is similar to a street ball action. The advantage is that as long as the opponent is not close to his body and is attracted by the dribble from behind, even if his body does not move, he will glance to the left and be thrown away at this glance.

Guo Xu completely passed Kobe and put his right hand under the basket for an easy layup. 2 to 0.

Kobe was very humiliated. He and Guo Xu always won each time in a one-on-one match. Today he was a little underestimated. It's not okay for your opponent to score consecutive goals while your girlfriend is a spectator.

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

Guo Xu smiled and said: "Come on, I challenge you to improve my level. You don't have to let me play."

Kobe stopped talking nonsense, took the ball and changed direction to break through, without getting rid of Guo Xu. He used his good back-up play, leaning on people to go to the low post, turning around and squeezing Guo Xu away, and smashed the ball in with one hand. 2 to 1.

Kobe can get away with his speed when playing a big man with his back, and he has height and strength advantages when playing a small man. It is difficult for all teams to defend alone, so they must find a swingman with a similar size to Kobe to deal with it.

Guo Xu is not depressed when he loses the ball. He will mainly defend Iverson in the future, not Kobe. Even if he changes teams in the future, the coach will not be able to assign him the task of guarding Kobe.

As long as he can score goals under Kobe's defense, it's success.
