Chapter 292: Consecutive High Scores
After beating the Rockets at home, the Trail Blazers finally stopped their losing streak and won the next three games.
On November 27, the away game against the Suns, the Suns ushered in the comeback of the main player Larry Nance, but this could not stop Gan Guoyang's iron hooves from leveling the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 40 points, 22 rebounds and 4 blocks, Gan Guoyang once again dominated the interior line, leading the Trail Blazers to an easy victory over the Suns 115-93.
Vandewig also had a great performance in this game, with 32 points and 4 rebounds, and it seems that he is really fighting for his big contract.
On November 29, the Trail Blazers visited Chicago, Gan Guoyang was very much looking forward to this game, but Jordan's absence reduced Gan Guoyang's fighting spirit by a few points, and Drexler's absence also made the highlight of this game one point less.
But Gan Guoyang still didn't stop running wildly, his attack was unprecedentedly strong, and it just so happened that his hand was quite good, and the Bulls' center Oldham couldn't stop Gan Guoyang at all, Gan Guoyang bluntly said in the game, "Oldham, you're too old." (Oldham's English word is oldham.) )
For a period of time, the Bulls tried to use rookie Charles Oakley to defend Gan Guoyang, at this time Oakley was not an "old oak", but a newcomer to the league, but he has shown something different from the older generation of interior players - better physical fitness, especially more strength.
This caused some minor problems for Gan Guoyang in the second half, and Oakley's defensive strategy of sticking to the bottom of the game made Gan Guoyang very uncomfortable, allowing him to miss consecutive hook shots.
However, Gan Guoyang immediately changed his strategy, he decided to drop ten clubs with one force, ran Oakley to the basket twice, and then slammed the dunk vigorously, and Oakley could no longer stop Gan Guoyang from scoring.
Another 40-plus, 45 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, of course, 5 turnovers and just one assist, his physical strength was tested, and he didn't have a strong connection with his teammates.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won the game relatively easily, 121:105, a 16-point advantage, and won three consecutive victories.
In December, when Gan Guoyang picked up 41 points and 17 rebounds on the head of the San Antonio Spurs, the whole league finally began to feel a strong shock, especially when those commentators and experts found out that even Jill Moore could not compete with Gan Guoyang in strength, they knew that an inside monster had appeared.
This monster didn't come out of nowhere, on the contrary, he has been staying in the league, last season's super rookie, a unique yellow race, a very good rookie season, with solid offensive and defensive skills, but he still lacks experience.
Gan Guoyang also had high scoring explosions last season, such as 43 points against the Warriors, including a 48-point super performance in the playoffs, but for any NBA player, it is normal to have one or two scoring explosions in a season.
Even if it is a role player, there is a record of cutting 40 or 50 points in a single game, after all, God can't stop luck when it comes.
However, scoring high points in a row, especially 40 points in a row, is not something that an ordinary role player can do, and it is very difficult for an average star.
One of the main reasons why Jordan was able to beat Gan Guoyang in the rookie of the year last season was his unparalleled ability to score, he had countless performances in a row of 30, and often scored 40, which was a great shock.
In comparison, Gan Guoyang's scoring ability is not bad, but the ups and downs are too great, of course, as a center, his contribution is more reflected in the defensive end, which is also an important reason why he can help the Trail Blazers move forward so many steps.
Now, Gan Guoyang finally threw away the weight piece on his body and began to rush forward on the scoring end, although the strength of the opponents in these games is average, but such scoring performances are also very rare in recent seasons.
"Who can stop Gan?" Headlines like these have begun to appear in sports newspapers and magazines in the United States, large and small.
Everyone was talking about Gan's sudden burst of amazing scoring, and began to praise Gan's dominance on the offensive end - yes, the media has begun to throw out such words, and what they do best is exaggerate the performance of their stars.
However, no matter how exaggerated they are, it is also based on a clear fact - Gan Guoyang is really difficult to stop on the offensive end, and the last center with such energy on the offensive end was Abdul-Jabbar, and of course he continues to be active in the league.
Abdul-Jabbar's scoring prowess stems from his exceptional height, reach, and gifted basketball skills, the Catch.
Anyone can imagine a giant who is 7 feet 2 tall and uses his ape-like arms to lift the ball to the highest point when shooting, and then shoots it with ease, who else but monsters like Chamberlain and Thurmond can limit him one-on-one?
Gan Guoyang is also good at Tiangou, but he is not invincible because of this skill, and his core competitiveness is the strength that players in the league have always marveled at him.
Everyone knows that Gan Guoyang's strength is very good, but they don't know how good it is, even the players who have played against him are difficult to say, and now the facts have surfaced, Gan Guoyang's strength has surpassed this era.
Because of this, Gan Guoyang even began to gradually reduce his strength training, among all the talent points, the improvement of strength is the easiest, and now it has overflowed a little, Gan Guoyang is a little worried that this will affect his feel.
Even so, there is no one in the league to wrestle with him, not Moses Malone.
Coupled with the guidance of Coach Lewis in the summer, Gan Guoyang has become more and more proficient in bullying "kids" with his strength advantage, rather than indulging in elegant hook tricks.
Coupled with the development of fixed-point mid-range shots, and the breakthrough of the more and more sophisticated baskets, it is a matter of time before Gan Guoyang's scoring skyrockets, which is a discord within the Trail Blazers because it broke out all of a sudden.
After four consecutive high-scoring and high-playing time games, Gan Guoyang also looked a little tired, so on December 2, when the Trail Blazers team had a day off, Gan Guoyang did not go to the training hall for additional training as usual, but decided to go to the University of Portland Hospital for physical therapy recovery.
Since Shui Miao came to Portland to become Gan Guoyang's personal doctor, her main occupation has been physical therapy in the Sports Injury Department of the University of Portland Hospital.
Now not only Gan Guoyang will come here for physiotherapy recovery, some Trailblazers players will also come to Shui Miao for treatment, although the Trail Blazers' team doctor Cook is not a quack, but different doctors have different ideas, Shui Miao's treatment ideas are quite unique, often have unexpected good results, especially he has a high attainment in the treatment of back injuries.
Van Dewjk, who has been plagued by a back injury, has recovered well under Shui Miao's treatment, and even if it cannot be cured, it is also very good for Van Dewjy's condition.
"My arm seems to be a little swollen, it's the triceps here, yes, could it be the top of the person?" In the physiotherapy room, Gan Guoyang took off his clothes, revealing his strong body, and at the same time raised his right hand to point at the position of the triceps brachii and said.
"Let me take a look and tighten it up a bit...... Okay, it's true that there is some muscle tension, it should be congestion caused by continuous impacts, there should be no problem, but if you always do this, the muscles will go wrong. Shui Miao touched Gan Guoyang's steel-like muscles and said softly.
Getting along with Shui Miao is one of the few opportunities for Gan Guoyang to speak Chinese in the United States, and Shui Miao's Chinese is still better than Wang Fuxi.
"No way, who made us do hard work? Alas~ Let's relax my back and humerus~Don't pity me~ Come on. Saying that, Gan Guoyang lay down on the physiotherapy chair and closed his eyes, which was also a good time for him to relax and rest. What nonsense...... It's right! Listening to Gan Guoyang's words, Shui Miao's face was slightly red, and she patted Gan Guoyang's back to make him posture straight.
Gan Guoyang's muscles are different from those of those bodybuilders, there are not so exaggerated lines, and the muscle mass does not look so big because it is covered with a layer of fat.
For interior players, fat is needed to gain weight and protect muscle, because the confrontation on the inside is really intense.
And this does not prevent Gan Guoyang from dominating in strength, and the battle for the inside line is not based on the thickness of his arms, but on the strength of his torso, the size of his buttocks, and the solidity of his legs.
Shui Miao's hand coated with physiotherapy liquid stroked Gan Guoyang's broad back, and he could feel the tremendous energy contained in it.
………………
The two-hour physiotherapy in the morning passed quickly, Gan Guoyang put on his clothes and stayed in Shui Miao's office for a while, he sometimes liked to chat with this private doctor who was not young but was in his twenties, especially liked to see her face that was easy to redden, which would remind Gan Guoyang of Wang Fuxi - although the two were not different at all.
"Alright, I'm leaving, see you next week! We're going to play away from home in the East, so it's a terrible trip......"
"See you next week! But I think I'm sure I'll see you on TV, and in the newspapers, and lately in the newspapers. ”
"Haha, they're going to forget about me soon, the media is a bitch...... Well, I don't say foul words anymore, I'm gone. ”
Saying that, Gan Guoyang opened the door and left Shui Miao's physiotherapy room.
But when Gan Guoyang went downstairs, he saw an old man in a yellow plaid suit standing by the window - his baldness was very conspicuous.
"Mr. Ramsay? How did he end up here? ”
