Bellman called a timeout, at this time, for him, what he had to do was not to change his tactics, from the previous rounds, although 0:8 behind, but the Vikings' tactical direction is not a problem, the problem is in the mentality of the players. He's going to get the morale of the team back up.

"The lads," Bellman calls the players when they need encouragement, "you're so relaxed and think about the game too easily. Everybody's sober and sober, you guys haven't even made the fucking state championships. ”

The over-relaxation before the game made the Vikings players a little confused by the Hawks, who did not expect the Hawks to score eight points in a row in such a simple and quick way. In previous matches, the Vikings have always been known for their defensive toughness, trying to make every time their opponent score a difficult one.

Defense, skill, tactics and talent are relatively secondary, the most important thing is attitude and momentum. With a positive attitude and a compelling momentum, you can make your opponent feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and you can suppress the opponent's offensive momentum.

Without attitude and momentum, skills and tactics will pale in comparison.

"Peter! Don't be afraid of the opponent's number 20, believe in yourself, go at your own pace, and don't always worry about your ball being stealed. Others pay attention, pick up more Peter, play more Gan, Williams continues to execute the running tactics, and your runs have been good before. ”

"Everyone's cheering up, you're not the defending champions, you're a bunch of fucking poor boys, you don't have anything, so, fuck me up and fuck them!" Bellman loudly motivates his players, hoping that they will let go of frivolity and pride and go up to fight against strong opponents.

"We're going to make them understand whose fucking territory this is. Palo Alto is not Auckland, here, we have the final say! ”

As the core of the team, Gan Guoyang rarely motivates his teammates verbally, and relies more on on-field performance to give support. And now, he has to act like a leader.

"That's right, the game has just begun, we're going to give them some color!"

"Beep!" When the timeout was up, the game resumed, and the Vikings served the ball in the front court.

"Hey, yellow-skinned monkey, you're a fucking piece of yellow shit." Before he could serve, Payton walked up to Gan Guoyang and sprayed him.

"Then you're a fucking grain of rat shit!" The rat droppings were black, and Gan Guoyang used his fingers to draw the size of a small rat droppings while fighting back, mocking Peyton's small size.

Peyton's crooked mouth tilted even more as he listened.

In the first meeting between the two after the two came on the court, Payton did not take advantage, and at this time the Vikings kicked off, and he did not have time to continue to argue with Gan Guoyang, he wanted to vent his resentment on Diepenbrock.

After receiving the ball, Dippenbrock organized an attack again, and the basic tactics of the Vikings did not change, still focusing on the covering and running position of the scoring guard, driving the offense of the entire team.

But Diepenbrock obviously still hasn't adapted to Payton's tight defense, and a few words of encouragement from a timeout won't make a sudden increase in skill level, but at least he can protect his ball from holding it with both hands to the point of dead.

At the same time, the rest of the Vikings have stepped up their support for Dippenbrock, whose small forward has been pulled to the left flank. Downbrock immediately stepped out and put the ball in the hands of the small forward, and then he cut inside from the right wing, taking Payton's defense away and creating a two-on-two situation on the left wing.

Gan Guoyang is once again in the inner line, and now the Vikings' top priority is to score points to stabilize the morale of the army, so Gan Guoyang's point is naturally the first choice.

However, because of the all-out defense of the No. 43 center, Gan Guoyang's important position is not deep, and he tested the opponent's defense with his back after receiving the ball, and he felt that there seemed to be no flaws.

At this time, the Eagles' attention was focused on Gan Guoyang, and they all knew that this Chinese kid was the number one star of the Vikings, and now his fame had spread to the Oakland area.

However, after being stagnant for a while, Gan Guoyang chose to pass the ball!

I saw that with a flick of his wrist, he hit the ground, and the ball crossed diagonally from the left side of the three-second zone to the right side, and a player who inserted it from the right side received the ball in the three-second zone, it was Dippenbrock!

It turned out that after the ball was played on the perimeter, Diepenbrock cut in from the right wing, and at the same time, Vygist, on the strong side, made a cover for him, allowing him to temporarily get rid of Payton's entanglement and successfully cut inside.

Gan Guoyang relied on his own ball to attract the opponent's attention, and this unexpected pass made the hoop completely exposed in front of Dippenbrock, an excellent easy scoring opportunity.

However, Payton is not so easy to pass.

Virgin's cover wasn't clean, and Payton, despite losing his best defensive position, still forced his way around the cover and followed Deepenbrock closely, while other players came over to make up for it.

Dippenbrock didn't hesitate, he knew that such an opportunity was fleeting, and it would not be so easy to reorganize if he passed the ball again, so in the face of Payton who was close to him and the players who came to make up for the defense, he bent his arms and exerted force at the moment of receiving the ball, and the ball drew an arc, which was a small throw!

Gan Guoyang looked up at this slightly hasty throw, judging from the arc of the ball, the strength of the ball was obviously a little weak, because at the moment when Downbrock threw the ball, Payton made a non-foul interference on the back, which affected Downbrock's shooting power.

Sure enough, the ball smashed into the front of the basket, and because it was a throw, it bounced in the right direction, just above the basket.

Just as the Hawks interior players were about to jump up and grab the rebound, a huge figure enveloped them.

Gan Guoyang jumped high, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and poured the ball into the basket with both hands while falling!

This slam dunk was very light and brittle, the basket didn't even vibrate, and Gan Guoyang's hand just touched the hoop. Before his opponent could react, he had already fallen to the ground, turned and ran away without looking back, and at the same time raised his left hand high and held out a finger to indicate that this was the first point scored by the Vikings!

This neat and neat button finally made the long-dull gymnasium erupt, cheers and applause instantly resounded, and the audience also swelled with green waves, which is what they want to see.

This goal not only broke the embarrassment of the Vikings who had not scored at the beginning, but also boosted the morale of the team.

"This guy is really fast." It was the Eagles' No. 43 center who spoke.

Just after Dippenbrock throws, Gan Guoyang stepped forward with an arrow, blocked the No. 43 center with his left arm, occupied the position in front of the basket, and successfully made up the dunk.

"Give him some color, Greg." Peyton looked unhappy, he didn't expect that this Chinese player could not only compete with him in mouth, but also have excellent ball skills, which seems to be worthy of his reputation.

"I'll do my best......" This Greg is obviously an honest man. His full name is Greg Foster, and in eight years' time, he will join Payton in the NBA, but he will eventually be a nobody in the professional league.

"Everybody's in good spirits! It's time to kick their ass! Gan Guoyang returned to the backcourt, clapping his hands and encouraging his teammates with words, and he himself did not crouch under the basket this time, but stood near the free throw line, obviously he was going to press the opponent's outside line again.

The entire Viking defense became a 2-1-2 formation, which was very restrictive to the break, because no matter which direction the breakthrough came from, it would be flanked by three players.

And the best way to crack this defense is naturally to break through the ball and shoot from the outside at a 45-degree angle. At the same time, this formation is very unfavorable to the protection of backcourt rebounds, and it is easy to be rushed to the frontcourt board, so this formation is very dependent on the "1", which is the inner core in the middle.

Therefore, when Payton broke through with the ball, Gan Guoyang immediately stepped forward to block the road, but in order to prevent him from sharing the ball, Gan Guoyang did not stick to it very tightly, but put two steps, ready to make up for other areas at any time.

"Hey, do you know how to shoot? Do you know how to shoot? I've heard that your shots are like rat. In addition to his physical defense, Gan Guoyang also launched a mental attack. Based on his later knowledge, he knew that Payton's jump shot was not particularly good, and although he had just scored two in a row, it was unguarded.

In contrast, Gan Guoyang is more afraid of Payton's ball, so he will have to spend more energy to fill in the leaks and prevent opponents from rushing to grab rebounds.

And now Peyton is only a ninth-grade high school student after all, and it can be seen from the trash talk that he has not yet cultivated home, he still needs a lot of experience, whether it is technical or psychological, there is still a gap between him and Gan Guoyang, who has two lifetimes of experience and talent plug-in.

As soon as Gan Guoyang teased his two sentences, Peyton's heart was on fire, and he said that he had already scored two jump shots in a row, and this yellow-skinned monkey actually said that he couldn't jump shots.

Payton doesn't have a lot of speed on his breaks, but he has a great grasp of the tempo, and it's a talent to be able to change the frequency of his breaks depending on the speed of the defenders to gain an advantage in the time difference.

In addition, the Viking players were afraid of his ball, so they did not stick to the defense while following the defense, but two or three steps away from him, so Payton suddenly pulled back after a few steps inward, adjusted his pace, held the ball in both hands, and directly pulled up and shot!

In this regard, Greg Foster is indeed right, Gan Guoyang's reaction is really fast, although he was also deceived by Payton's time difference, but he quickly adjusted, and when he saw Payton jump shot, he immediately stretched out his long arm to block.

Although Peyton threw the ball before the big hand in front of him arrived, he was obviously interfered by Gan Guoyang, and his shot was relatively hasty, and his hand shape was already unstable.

"Phew!" The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced to the right.

But the Hawks' offense didn't end there, because Gan Guoyang pounced on the outside to make up for the defense, so the Vikings were empty inside, and the Hawks' small forward happened to be on the right wing, rushing directly to the basketball that came out of the basket, relying on the impact of the run-up, and picked up this frontcourt rebound on Viciss' head.

But just when he was hesitating whether to attack alone or pass the ball next, Williams, who was in charge of the online defense on the right side, made a crisp cut and directly knocked down the ball in his hand.

Seeing this, the Hawks small forward left and stretched out his hands to get the ball back, but Williams blocked him with his body, and then one held the ball in his arms and controlled the ball tightly!

Then Williams passed the ball to Dippenbrock, who stepped forward to pick up, and the Vikings won the ball!

There was a cheer in the stadium, and it was clear that the Vikings' desperate defensive attitude was what the crowd wanted to see, and Bellman nodded from the dugout, knowing that his teammates had adjusted from the overly relaxed state of the opening game.

It was the Vikings' turn to attack again, and they were still six points behind 2-8, but the momentum was starting to turn around.

"I'll show you what a fucking shot looks like later!" Gan Guoyang didn't let Payton go, and said to him at halftime.

Soon the two sides fell into position, and this time Gan Guoyang did not take a position in the low position, but mentioned the upper line to cover for Dippenbrock, which is also a regular tactic of the Vikings. Deepenbrock is gradually starting to adjust to Payton's defense, but he still has to spend a lot of energy fighting Payton's double harassment.

Now Gan Guoyang stepped forward to support, and he understood that he had made a block with Gan Guoyang.

According to the usual tactical cooperation, only Gan Guoyang is generally down the block, and if there is a chance for the inside line, Dippenbrock will pass the ball directly to Gan Guoyang; If not, Dippenbrock will reorganize the attack.

This time, Gan Guoyang did not go down after blocking, but pulled to the left side of the free throw line, which was the route to go out.

Greg Foster had to switch to Diepenbrock, who broke inside, and Payton was pushed back by Gan Guoyang.

Dippenbrock saw Gan Guoyang's hands stretched forward, in the posture of asking for the ball, so after dismantling, he hit the ground with a crotch, and the ball passed through Greg's crotch and was firmly handed over to Gan Guoyang's hand.

After that 0-10 defeat to the Cancer, Gan rarely used mid-to-long-range jumpers in the game, instead focusing on scoring inside. But his touch is gifted, and it showed itself from the very beginning of his introduction to basketball.

After receiving the ball, there was an empty space in front of Gan Guoyang, because no one thought that the center of this team would shoot at this distance. In the '80s, it was still very rare to shoot from the inside to the outside. And Payton is behind Gan Guoyang's ass.

Gan Guoyang hit a jump shot in front of the other Eagles players in this way! 4：8！

"See? It's a fucking jumper! After throwing in, Gan Guoyang did not forget Peyton's sentence behind the "lesson", and then patted his ass and left.

With two goals and a successful defence from Gan, the Vikings are finally starting to turn around their momentum, and momentum is more important than tactics for high school teams.

The Eagles, though, are not an impetuous team. And although Payton is only in the ninth grade, with his ceiling as a future NBA superstar and years of street grinding, he is also a master who is getting more and more courageous. In the face of Gan Guoyang's sharp counterattack, he must also give the most powerful counterattack.

Sure enough, after Gan Guoyang threw this mid-range shot, the Hawks did not mess up, but served quickly, and Payton quickly advanced through the half court after receiving the ball. And at this time, the Vikings players had not yet fully fallen into the positional defense.

The Hawks' small forward, an energetic tall, lanky jumper with a small curly hair, took advantage of the Vikings' unsteady footing and managed to get around the basket through Greg Foster's cover. Payton is a future super-point guard, with a beautiful pass that pierced the heart of the Vikings like an arrow.

No matter how fast Gan Guoyang reacted, he couldn't get every ball in place, although he had worked hard to make up for the defense, but the opponent's small forward still scored an easy layup after receiving the ball, 4:10.

The Eagles hit the Vikings and stretched the margin to six points again.

"When I was playing ball on the streets, you were still playing with mud in open crotch pants, go back and wipe your snot!" After passing a good ball, Payton naturally will not show mercy, although Gan Guoyang is older than him, he mocks Gan Guoyang like an old fritter.

Payton did play on the pavela court very early, not only practicing his skills and mouth cannons, but also creating a character that is not stingy and not afraid of the sky.

And Gan Guoyang grew up lonely in an orphanage since he was a child in later life, but his temper was as stubborn as a cow, although after merging with this life, he had a father who was much calmer. But once the heart is aroused, he is also a barbarian who can't be pulled by ten cows.

"I hope you'll still have the strength to wipe your ass when I get your shit out later."

In the first half, a tug-of-war full of trash talk has begun.
