On April Fool's Day, Guo Xu jumped out of the bed excitedly as soon as he opened his eyes. He found that his body was "cheating".

Under normal circumstances, a young man does hundreds of push-ups a day and his chest muscles will feel severe swelling the next day. Guo Xu practices bench presses, and each squat set 10 times, using the weight of exhaustion on the 10th time. Although he can only push 50 kilograms of bench presses at present, muscle aches should also be inevitable.

Now his whole body seemed to be reset, feeling unspeakable and his energy was in the best state. He felt that it was fine to go out and run 10,000 meters.

No matter how strong an athlete is, fatigue is difficult to eliminate through a sleep, because most of the time they feel not only physical fatigue, but also a continuous, long-term physical and mental tension. To relieve this tension, people usually need to enter a relaxed mental state, which is not just physical rest.

If you close your eyes and feel it, some parts of your body are stiff and you feel nervous or irritable. Even if you don’t have anything important at hand, you still have a feeling of being on standby and needing to be wary of at any time. After falling asleep or even waking up in the middle of the night, it is the tension accumulated after overdrawing energy... or kidney deficiency.

Young players who have just joined the NBA often hit the "rookie wall", causing their state to decline severely for a certain period of time, because they are not as good as veterans in relaxation and adjustment.

If you restore your energy to perfection like Guo Xu, you are a bug-level recovery power, which is impossible for normal people to do.

He washed his face twice excitedly and went out without brushing his teeth. Like the previous few times, he practiced a shot for an hour, woke Richardson up for breakfast and went to practice.

What made Guo Xu depressed was that this training match was not going well. As soon as his strength improved, the coach changed his tactics.

A few minutes ago, Guo Xu was very successful in defending Jack Lehman, making him 0 of 4 shots, and his teammates performed well. Later, under the urging of Tom Izzo, Lehman began to adjust his style of play. He first found a pick-and-roll to get rid of Guo Xu, and then broke through himself in a misaligned position or passed the ball to his inside teammates to cut the ball and attack the basket.

Guo Xu couldn't help but this move. How could his small body stop the big man from cutting empty?

The pick-and-roll tactics made Guo Xu more difficult when defending, he was exhausted and affected his offensive end, and his shooting feel decreased. Although he was not criticized by the coach after the game, his overall performance was not stronger than Lehman. Lehman did not have three-pointers, and he was tall on the defensive end and could fight.

At noon, Guo Xu asked Richardson to take a taxi to the restaurant "The Tamale Place". The restaurant specializes in Mexican and Spanish, and is very famous in Polis.

Guo Xu skillfully ordered Mexican beef tucker, spicy roasted chicken wings, spicy Mexican seafood with French bread, and dessert mango mousse cake.

The young Latino waitress looked at Guo Xu's side face with appreciation and complimented: "Sir, what's great. Are you a regular customer? These are the most popular dishes in our store."

Guo Xu closed the menu and smiled and said, "No, I just heard that these dishes are very famous, so I want to try them."

After the waiter left, Richardson came to his senses. "What's going on? Why don't I remember you know Mexican food? When did you come here?"

"I treat you, just eat openly, don't be polite." Guo Xu was too lazy to explain too much, anyway, the other party couldn't remember it.

He came to eat Mexican red lobster last night, and the waiter recommended these special dishes. Eating lobsters has the functions of nourishing the kidneys, strengthening yang, nourishing yin, strengthening the stomach, and improving exercise endurance. However, he does not want to eat the same food continuously. He already has a body that does not conform to the law of conservation of energy and has the capital to be willful.

It was a pleasure for him to taste different foods every day. He could afford it. In this era, when he went to a three-star Michelin restaurant, he would not spend more than $500 as long as he ordered top-notch ingredients.

Richardson was happier than Guo Xu because he couldn't remember it, and it was a rare improvement in life every time.

Richardson asked with a smile: "Man, I just invited you two burgers in the morning. Why did you ask me to come to such a place? It would be too generous if you exchange your rituals."

"I just want to have a good meal, and I'm greedy," Guo Xu said carelessly: "Jason, I have a problem. Your strength is much bigger than when I was in high school, but your shooting is more accurate. How can you make your strength grow without affecting your feel?"

Richardson was stunned and smiled, "I never thought about this if you didn't say it. I usually practice strength and shoot together. No matter how strong I have, just remember how much strength I use to shoot?"

Guo Xu savored his words and it was true. "Then I will practice together, play ball in the morning and exercise in the afternoon."

"You want to practice strength during the summer holiday?"

"No, after dinner, I'll go to the fitness center. You can go back to the hotel or meet with others to play." Richardson was unwilling to train together, and Guo Xu did not intend to change his mind.

Richardson felt he was joking. "Then do you still have the strength to play tomorrow?"

"Even if I run a marathon, I will still have the strength tomorrow, so don't worry." Guo Xu said with a smile.

The reason I asked this is because he only scored one three-pointer in the morning and his shooting feel decreased. He was worried that hard practice of strength would affect his feel. In fact, soft wrists are the key, and it depends on whether the players can persist in practicing shooting.

There are many examples of this kind. Chinese players Liu Yudong and Yao Ming are both bench press experts, and the mid-range shot is still very accurate. Carl Malone has the physique of a wrestler and the mid-range shot feel is not bad. LeBron James has a maximum bench press of 190 kilograms, and his three-point shooting percentage is more than 40% in many seasons.

There are also situations where exercise strength affects the feel. Generally, players will be very tired after strength training, muscle aches, and affect the movement of raising their hands. At this time, few people can continue to train shooting. If the shooting training is reduced, the feel will be poor accordingly.

The waiter served the dishes one after another. The biggest feature of Mexican cuisine was spicy. As soon as the seafood came, the two of them were sweating.

Guo Xu stopped after drinking a large glass of water and asked, "Jason, what do you think I should do if I want to defend better?"

Richardson swallowed a sip of seafood and stuck out his tongue with no taste. "You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask Morris (Peterson), who is a defensive expert and is about to graduate. If you want to ask him, you have to hurry up."

In Guo Xu's previous life, Peterson was also an excellent defensive player in the NBA. He was diligent, and his height, body shape and movement were not inferior to the league's first-class swingers.

Unlike other first-class defenders, he has fewer small moves. However, his gummy defense often costs more physical strength than usual for the opponent's top offensive players. His assisted defense and repair defense awareness are also good, and he is a unimaginable player. He is not afraid of misalignment and can defend to the No. 4 position.

In the NCAA, Peterson was twice selected as the Best Defensive Player in the Big Ten, and he failed to be selected for the All-American defensive team because Duke had a guy named Sean Bathir even better.

Guo Xu filled Richardson with a cup of water. "Thank you, your suggestions are good. I'll treat Morris to dinner tomorrow and talk to him."

"Don't worry, I won't be jealous." Richardson grinned to his ears with a smile.
