After chatting and interacting, Guo Xu gave a unique basketball training lesson to some young players on the Dongdan Court.

He taught some simple and practical heads-up techniques, all of which he is good at in the game, mastering the change of pace in the middle of the ball and getting rid of the ball, and the players can quickly improve their strength after practice.

The host asked: "How do you think a player with average physical fitness can reach the level of a professional player, or even the level of the NBA?" ”

Guo Xu said honestly: "If you want to become a star, I think physical fitness is very important. Quality determines the upper limit, which is the basic condition for becoming a star. But if the goal is just to be an ordinary professional player, it doesn't matter if the physical fitness is almost there, it can be achieved by practicing the technique and shooting, and there are many examples of poor physical fitness in the NBA who have become excellent role players. ”

Guo Xu's words gave the Chinese fans at the scene, especially those who want to take the road of playing, a shot in the arm.

This is a fact, it's not that you can't mix on the basketball court because of poor health, like Guo Xu's teammate Pan Persie last season, who won the championship with the Lakers with his excellent shooting.

Every team in the NBA has one or two people who are mediocre in their physical fitness and rely on other specialties to play, but they are not stars.

The host smiled: "You are too modest, the media often say that your physical fitness is average, but you have now become a famous outside star in the NBA." ”

Guo Xu shook his head and explained: "The media didn't know enough about me in the early stage, so I said that. Last summer, I didn't go to tryouts with other teams in order to join the Lakers, and I didn't have public physical test data. In fact, I am not much worse than Iverson, otherwise how could I have earned the nickname of The Flash? The truth is that there are few people in the basketball world who are faster than me. ”

The fans applauded again, they all liked Guo Xu's nickname.

Guo Xu is not modest, his inherited talent is not bad, and he will improve greatly after exercising. The talent of the predecessor is not so ordinary, can he play as a substitute in the NCAA strong team, or stable rotation, how many Chinese can do this?

He signaled silence and continued: "In addition to technique, if you want to be a professional player, I think you need a good attitude. Talent is only one aspect, you have to train hard. No matter how good your physical fitness is, it will be in vain if you don't work hard, I dare to say that there are ten times more people who waste their talent than those who succeed, so try it while you are young, try it, work hard, and you won't regret it when you get old. ”

In Chinese basketball, many athletes have problems with their attitudes.

In Guo Xu's previous life, after Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and other players retired, the men's basketball team relied on Yi Jianlian to support it, and it was in a state of no successor and poor for a long time.

The most important reason for the decline of the Chinese men's basketball team is not the physical fitness, but more importantly, the professional ethics of the current players.

All players who are a little famous, almost all of them drive luxury cars and hold their wives. Almost every game, there will be some veteran players or some junior players who smoke and drink.

After every game, they can only appear in the gym in a lazy state after a happy life, which is the reason why domestic players and NBA players are far apart.

China has never lacked talent, what is really lacking is attitude, whether on the court or off the court are like hooligans, gangsters, if such a group of people to play, let alone win or lose, it will have a great impact on China's image.

For example, in the 2017-18 season, the 38-year-old Scola averaged 27.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the Shanxi team. You said that you can't prevent Scola's footsteps, how to explain that he grabs an average of 13.9 rebounds per game?

There are so many young players in the CBA, their athleticism and physical strength crush the floor flow of Scola, but Scola often picks off the rebounds without jumping, and the young Chinese players can't even do the basic skills of the card position, what else can they do?

On the first day of the event, Guo Xu extended it for a full hour, using the experience of his previous life to teach the fans a lesson.

The second day's activity was relatively simple, Guo Xu accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV5, and met the retired Chinese men's basketball team who was very familiar with him in his previous life, and the guest commentator Zhang Lili.

Guo Xu was interviewed and chatted in Chinese throughout the whole process. He commented on several big-name stars in China, thinking that several insiders have the strength to play in the NBA, and on the outside, he specifically mentioned Hu Weidong, thinking that he also has the strength to play in the NBA.

Hu Weidong, known as the "Chinese Jordan", is the best outside player in the history of the men's basketball team, with excellent physical fitness and strong ability to combine sudden shots. Unfortunately, due to age and injury, it is impossible for him to play in the NBA.

Guo Xu gave Yao Ming a super high evaluation. "I think Yao Ming has the potential to be the top pick in the NBA, and if I were the head coach and I had the top pick, I would definitely draft him in the draft. I watched last year's Olympics and it was incredible. He's not only tall but also flexible, and his shooting touch is excellent, but he's a little worse at the end. ”

Zhang Li followed the topic and asked, "Then do you think Yao Ming should strengthen the confrontation?" ”

"Yes, he has to do some targeted training to gain muscle, but never to gain weight. If he weighs too much, there will be a lot of pressure on his feet, as was the case with the Cavaliers' Ilgoskas consecutive injuries. Yao Ming is not a blue-collar player, he can resist most of the interior on the defensive end, and then play to his strengths on the offensive end. ”

In his previous life, Yao Ming retired after only playing more than 500 games in the NBA, which is a permanent regret for Chinese fans.

Zhang Li asked: "How do you think interior players can get a foothold in the NBA the fastest?" ”

"My advice to everybody is the same, practice pick-and-roll, go down, play passes, and catch shots. It's best to be able to shoot three-pointers, and if you can't, it's good to have a consistent mid-range shot. Low-post technique isn't the most important thing, unless there's O'Neal's dominance. Actually, I really want the opponent to have a heavy inside, so it will be very easy for me to score, so the fellows must keep moving, otherwise don't blame me for being abused on the court. ”

On the third day, Guo Xu went to the basketball court to do activities again, and this time Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming went to Beijing to meet and chat with Guo Xu, which caused a wave of popularity.

After Guo Xu saw Yao Ming, he chatted with him about the magic ball theory, and suggested that he practice three-point shooting, no need to practice, just catch the ball with confidence after blocking and dismantling a position in the middle, and with this tactical role, you won't have to worry about finding a job in the NBA.

As for the low-level strong attack, Guo Xu told Yao Ming that in addition to monsters like O'Neal, fools do this, and it is a two-point goal to score desperately, and it is easy to get injured in hand-to-hand combat with opponents.

Yao Ming asked: "If the center doesn't attack the basket, the media will say I'm soft, right?" ”

Guo Xu smiled and asked: "A very soft center retired after playing in the NBA for 15 years, and retired due to injury after playing less than 8 years with a tough center, the data of the two are about the same, which one do you choose?" ”

Yao Ming said that of course he chose the first one, but in Guo Xu's previous life, he chose the second path, and he continued to retire with injuries after gaining weight.

Sometimes, life is so ironic, and what Yao Ming lacks may just be a good coach who will think about him.
