Guo Xu went to exercise, and was exhausted and returned to the hotel to rest. He slept and was refreshed. He came to the seventh April Fools' Day.

After training in the morning, he took the initiative to chat with Morris Peterson. "Morris, I want to invite you to have a meal alone. I would like to ask you about defense. Can it take you a little time?"

Peterson looked in disbelief and asked, "You really want to treat me to a meal?"

"Yes, why do you have this expression?" Guo Xu smiled, and he was not stressed when he pretended to be a big shot in the loop.

Peterson shook his head and smiled, "It's just a little surprised. Although you don't hate my performance in the team, you never talk to me, which makes me feel that we are very far away."

“…”

Guo Xu was speechless about his predecessor. He was only close to Richardson in the team. In addition, there was a white senior who was a friend in middle school. The man moved to Los Angeles after graduation. As a first-year freshman, he ignored the two senior "veterans" in the team and didn't want to get through anymore.

"I was wrong. How about giving me a chance to treat me to dinner? I used to be cool, but I had a brain problem. Fortunately, I woke up by someone's elbow, and now I'm a normal person." Guo Xu clasped his hands together and said with a favor.

"It doesn't seem normal for your explanation." Peterson said.

"Brother, if you don't go, I will hold your legs and not let you go." Guo Xu said with a smile.

A smiling person has affinity and does not hit a smiling person.

Peterson was amused by him: "Let's go back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes first. You can choose the place, I can eat whatever I want."

"Okay, but I still have to ask, what do you like to eat?"

Personality determines a person's life. After Guo Xu's personality changes drastically, it is easy to arouse the favor of his teammates.

Appearance is justice. Everyone has high expectations for people with high looks. Whether it is his ability or character, he has a high tolerance for his mistakes. A handsome guy is introverted and cold-faced, which is called cool; a handsome guy is slow to react and cute, but in short, it is all good.

When a person has both IQ and EQ, his appearance is at most a gift.

Athletes usually consume a lot of money and training requires enough energy. Most athletes like meat. Guo Xu and Peterson took a taxi to the famous steakhouse.

When Peterson saw the restaurant's level, he hurriedly declined, but Guo Xu insisted that he was here.

"Why are you polite? You will definitely be selected by the NBA team in the first round in the summer. You will be a star in the sports world by then. Wouldn't I show some sincerity when I invite the stars to dinner? As long as you meet again in the future, you will not forget me, the little brother of Michigan, and I will be very happy."

In the locker room, Peterson often chats with Cliffs to imagine the NBA and talks about the teams they want to join. Rookies at high picks often gain both fame and fortune, and driving luxury cars to live in villas in the future is what he cares most about at the moment.

Guo Xu's words made Peterson feel very happy. Listening to good words, eating delicious food, watching beauty, and dreaming is a blessing for everyone. This kind of compliment will never be offensive, because what Guo Xu said is the fact that players like Peterson, like a combat-powered player, are loved by all NBA teams.

After ordering the restaurant's signature steak, the two talked about basketball, focusing on defense, Peterson's single defense, assistant defense, supplementary defense, and team defense system. It was very clear. He put the theory on Guo Xu, and there were only two simple points left.

"You have a good defense today, a good attitude, and are willing to be close to each other. I usually like to defend this way. Don't consider assisting and changing defenses. Height and confrontation are too disadvantageous. I suggest that after being blocked by the cover, you should bypass the defender as soon as possible and hand over the inside player to your teammates. So how to observe the opponent's movements and quickly bypass the cover is the place you should focus on strengthening."

Guo Xu asked: "Do you have any secret to bypass the cover?"

Peterson said: "Yes, use the light of your eyes to observe the situation beside you at any time, predict the next opponent's actions in advance, and then act. You can't always think about stealing, and put following the opponent in front of you first. I usually bypass the cover and chase from the internal test, and I suggest you do the same."

Guo Xu understood what he meant. There were not many players with accurate three-pointers in NCAA. They could keep up with the opponent bypassing the screen from the internal test, break through with main defense, and interfere with mid-range shots. However, this kind of defense cannot develop a habit. People who are good at stopping and jumping will die miserably. In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe scored 81 points game, for a while, Peterson was the main defense, and Kobe scored three-pointers in a row.

"How do I practice specifically?"

"Play more games, three-on-three or all-game, and develop a good habit of observation. There is no shortcut. You should have heard of it. I was not that great when I first entered college. It was the coach who arranged the task of defending the scorer for me and practiced slowly." Peterson believed that he was just talented and was not depressed, but was a little proud.

Unlike Richardson who became famous at a young age, Peterson's high school career was unknown, and he began to slowly become famous in college and made steady progress every year. Coach Tom Izzo played an important role in Peterson's growth, and it was obvious that he was a team player and an iron man. He arranged appropriate tasks for him and did not force him to attack with the ball. He has currently played for the school for 135 games, setting a record.

After eating for a while, Guo Xu asked again: "Morris, do you think if I strengthen my defense, I can play in the NBA in the future?"

Peterson thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm honest, don't think it's bad."

"Don't worry, no matter how ugly you speak, I will pay the bill today and will never run away quietly using the excuse to go to the bathroom." Guo Xu smiled.

"Haha, your personality is much better now than before that elbow. Jason said you have changed, and I didn't believe it."

Peterson put down his knife and fork and smiled: "If you want to play in the NBA, you should work hard on offense. Just do what I said when you are talking about defense. If you can't become a defensive expert, Iverson can't do it. How can you do it? With your current offensive ability, you will definitely not be able to play in the NBA, but you still have time to improve."

"I know I can't compare with Martin now, but my goal will not change. I want to join the NBA and become a professional player." Guo Xu said with a smile.

If he expressed his true thoughts, Peterson would definitely think he was dreaming during the day. He wanted to become a star of Nash, Iverson, and he could win the point guard of the regular season MVP.

Guo Xu believes that it is possible to succeed. Whether he can reach that level depends on how long he stays in the time cycle and how much he improves his physical fitness.

Peterson encouraged: "I wish you success. If you enter the NBA, I will be proud of you. Because if you want to succeed, you must give more. I like those who work hard. Martin is gone, and you only need to start at the No. 1 position next year and you will have many opportunities to perform."

As a superpower, Guo Xu is confident: "As long as I find the right direction, I may participate in the NBA draft this year. You will definitely not believe it, but this semi-finals I will let everyone know what the NCAA Ten-Mile Sword God is!"

"Entertaining the draft this year? Stop making trouble." Peterson didn't understand what he said later. "What is the Sword God of Shilipo?"
