Chapter 900 [New Hobbies, Not Long-term Goals]

Guo Xu said a lot of words and learned some information about Earth Four itself.

The original family opened a larger Chinese restaurant, the family conditions are good, and the location is still in East Lansing. Jason Statham invested in the restaurant after he became famous, and he was really a reliable and good relative, and some of his movie posters and photos with relatives were hung on the walls of the restaurant to attract customers.

Guo Xu did not inherit the family business, he has no talent in cooking, maybe a little but not Chinese food, Earth Two He works in a Western restaurant.

He is a good baby on Earth Four, he has never left Donglansing except for travel, and he stayed in school to become a teacher after graduation. Ida is also a teacher of unpopular subjects, and the two are in the same office, and they haven't talked much.

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

The original character's character is boring, and he must have reached the age when his family began to urge him to fall in love and get married, and he just wanted to live an ordinary life in the future. Guo Xu suspects that he has a hidden talent for being a teacher, and the two parallel worlds are 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 won't recognize me with a pair of glasses." ”

Guo Xu, who is back to being an ordinary person, cherishes this time of freedom very much, and he doesn't have to guard against fans pestering and paparazzi to follow him.

Soon more than a month passed, Guo Xu went out to play every day, didn't practice at all, and was too lazy to practice.

In this mentality, his strength has actually dropped a little bit from his peak. In the past two seasons, he has been based on floor flow, breaking through by rhythm and blocking, and has lost the momentum of running that year's average of 40+ per game.

Guo Xu was the strongest after the New York cycle in Earth 3 back then, and he also knew that he had regressed compared to that time, even if his teammates created opportunities for him, he would play longer, and it was estimated that he would be 30+10 if he worked hard.

The strength of the players, the skill is only one aspect, and the attitude is equally important. Some people with average physical fitness can play basketball well, largely because of mentality and self-discipline. Guo Xu can now rely on technology to play well, and he is very powerful if he can play eighty percent of his strength, and he learned to play healthy basketball in that cycle in 2007.

In the 50th cycle, Guo Xu got up and immediately left the apartment, without asking Ida. He texted Martin saying that he had something important to do, and that he would be in touch tomorrow and that he would be alone.

If you don't say a word, it will be very troublesome if the other party calls him, so the two men and two women can just team up to play without him.

Eating, drinking, and dating women every day Guo Xu will get tired of it, so he has to do something serious to adjust.

This time loop, he is ready to learn a few new skills to improve himself, and it never hurts to know more things, and he also has time to develop new hobbies.

There are fewer and fewer music works and film and television works that he can copy, and if he doesn't learn more, he won't be able to maintain his image as a genius after 2015. He wants to be a real genius, not a pseudo-genius who has always been a copyist.

The first thing Guo Xu wanted to learn was pistol shooting, and it was easy to buy guns in Dallas and easy to find shooting ranges. He is not afraid to spend money, and there are more than 60,000 dollars in his original account, which is enough for him to spend in a day.

Sharpshooters are fed bullets by bullet, all money, and a nice, accurate gun. Guo Xu practiced this not to shoot people, but to protect himself. The United States is a country with a high crime rate, and who would dare to say that they will never meet criminals? He trains and won't sit still when something unexpected happens.

And if he practices shooting well, he will be even better at making action movies in the future, and Amber is popular because of his beautiful action scenes.

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

It's not that he can't afford it, it's that the NBA doesn't allow players to ride horses at all, and it's an injury-prone sport. Even if he buys a good horse and has top-notch equipment, it is not easy for him to practice equestrianism, let alone participate in competitions.

Riders and their horses have to be together often to have a tacit understanding, Guo Xu played basketball for a season, and it is estimated that the horses don't know him anymore. He can only regretfully give up the only outfit B sport in the Olympics in which members of the British royal family participate.

If he only practiced shooting, he would find it boring, so after visiting a few more places, he chose fencing and archery. He doesn't go to university to take cultural classes, he wants to practice martial arts.

He has a physical advantage in both sports and is very easy to pick up.

There are three types of fencing, foil, sabre, and epee.

Guo Xu began to practice foil to find a feeling, and then practiced heavy sword, because he had the greatest advantage in this item and was easy to become a master.

The epee is triangular in shape, with an average length of 110CM and a weight of 770 grams, which is a complete stabbing weapon, and only the tip of the sword is effective when hitting the opponent during the game, and the horizontal attack of the sword body is invalid. It hits the most effective parts of the three types of fencing, including the whole body, i.e., the torso, legs, feet, arms, as well as the helmet.

It is heavier than foil, and the rapier shaft is also stiff. Epee requires a high degree of accuracy, and a good opportunity to attack the opponent is often when the opponent starts to attack, focusing on defensive counterattacks.

Guo Xu's arm strength is excellent, and the feeling of mastering the epee is similar to that of foil, and his hand is very stable; He relied on drag racing to train his reaction speed far beyond ordinary people, and he could observe the opponent's sword path; He moves quickly on his feet and can defend against opponents' attacks and then quickly counterattack with explosive power.

He only practiced for two weeks, abused all the students, and won against one of the club's coaches. Because the others have no memory, it looks like he's here to kick the gym.

After the owner and head coach of the club knew that Guo Xu was an amateur, he wanted to hire him to join the club, first participate in the Dallas competition, play well and then participate in the national competition, and then the international competition or even the Olympic Games one step closer.

Modern fencing is a traditional sport at the Olympic Games. In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games in Athens included men's foil and sabre competitions. The men's epee competition was added to the 2nd Olympic Games in Paris in 1900. At present, there are only five martial arts competitions in the Olympic Games: wrestling, boxing, judo, taekwondo, and fencing, and fencing is the oldest.

"Do you think I might be able to compete in the Olympics in the future?" Guo Xu was reminded of his childhood dream of being a swordsman.

The head coach said: "28 years old is not very old in fencing, your advantage is obvious, the people who participate in the epee event are generally taller, they are not as fast as you. Your strength does not suffer, and it is easier to hit your opponents. ”

THE HEIGHT OF EPEE ATHLETES IS GENERALLY ABOUT 190CM, AND GUO XU'S 183CM IS SHORT, BUT THE STRENGTH IS A HIDDEN SMALL STEEL CANNON IN THE NBA.

Compared with footsteps, epee athletes are used to moving at close range, and their explosiveness cannot be compared with NBA players at all, let alone the sprinters among players like Guo Xu?

Guo Xu smiled and asked: "If I want to participate in the Olympics, how do I register?" ”

"You're thinking too far ahead of you now." The head coach laughed.

"It's always good to have a goal so I can be more motivated when I train."

The head coach explained the situation, and it was very simple, he first signed up for the domestic competition in the United States, and if he won the championship, he would be eligible to participate in the national team selection, and he would go to the Olympics after beating his competitors. The number of fencers is small, not as fierce as the competition in major sports, and there is no need for a rating.

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

Of course, Guo Xu couldn't join the club, just came to practice for a day. He has a short-term goal, which is to compete in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
