Chapter Twenty-Three: The Killing of the Quartet

Today's second update.,It's been super busy lately.,So I hurriedly sent a chapter in the morning and didn't change it.,Today at noon, I took the time to send a chapter.,And I didn't modify it.,Some mistakes and omissions don't go well, please understand)

Gan Guoyang is actually a bit lazy sometimes, and he is not particularly keen on anything other than basketball. Because basketball has taken up too much of Gan Guoyang's energy.

And even on the basketball court, Gan Guoyang has a lazy side.

That is to destroy the opponent's self-confidence and demoralize the opponent as quickly as possible, so that the game will quickly enter your own rhythm and finally win the game easily.

Destroying the opponent's enthusiasm for the game is not simply relying on scoring points in a single game, but creating a sense of powerlessness in every player of the opponent.

This experience Gan Guoyang had a preliminary experience in the second season of the "revenge battle" at the Coastal Stadium, and at the same time, he began to understand how to "control himself".

Now, Gan Guoyang wants to bring that feeling to the official basketball game. With his abilities, it won't be a problem to deal with Carlil and the Bulldogs, and he can attack with all his might to get a very perverted stat.

But he wasn't content to beat his opponents with talent, but wanted to truly understand the true meaning of victory.

It was the Vikings' turn to attack, and Gan Guoyang quickly fell into the low post. But instead of desperately trying to get in the position, he moved inside the three-point line on the left side. He wanted to use this to pull out the opponent's interior lineman, Carlil, and make room for the inside.

Diepenbrock relied on Virgin's cover and staggered into the opposition's interior line. At this time, Gan Guoyang had already moved to the horn position, making Carlil hesitate to make up for Dippenbrock.

At this time, Dippenbrock did not choose to shoot under the change of position of the opponent's power forward, but passed the ball to Gan Guoyang, and Carlil immediately stepped forward to defend Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang didn't choose to shoot, as soon as he touched the ball, he immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Viciss!

After Virgis covered Diepenbrock, he created a misalignment and was defended by the opposing point guard.

He didn't hesitate to get the ball, dribbled forward, and jumped up to the head of the opposing point guard. Since the opposing point guard was too short to reach Virgin, he threw the ball in easily.

Bellman saw the performance of the players on the sidelines, and it was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. At the same time, I feel more and more that Gan Guoyang, a Chinese child, has a bright future, just a high school student, but he has begun to learn how to mobilize his teammates, control the rhythm, and attack the opponent tactically.

Instead of squandering your talents like some high school geniuses, you can use bounce and power to solve your opponents.

At the same time, he is also a little different from the average high-blood genius in high school, he is not obsessed with data, does not like to be in the limelight, but quietly contributes on the field.

For example, in defense, Gan Guoyang's blocking ability is still quite prominent, and when he is more prominent, he is more prominent in his interpretation and judgment of the opponent's tactics.

He is often able to strangle the opponent's ball at key points in the opponent's tactics and force the opponent into a one-man situation.

This time, it was Brooke Carlil who fell into his trap.

Because the Bulldogs have found that under the opponent's 2-1-2 joint defense, the breakthrough and projection on the flanks are greatly suppressed. The breakthrough at the top of the arc has been interfered with by Gan Guoyang, a big spider.

In this case, the best option is to give the ball to their main midfielder, Carlil, and use him to break down the Vikings' 2-1-2 defense from the inside.

Gan Guoyang did not stop Carlil's position and possession, and he gave Carlil a more comfortable attacking position.

However, Carlile's back-to-back skills are clearly not up to par, after all, this technique is quite difficult for a high school player. Not everyone has a talent like Gan Guoyang and a teacher like Thurmond.

As soon as he got the ball on his back, Carlil turned to the basket and put the ball down his waist to protect it, while testing his feet.

After a second or two of the stand-off, Carlil dribbled down and squeezed in from the middle, trying to squeeze his body out of space to make offensive moves.

Gan Guoyang stuck to Carlil and didn't give him much space. And when Carlil wanted to get stronger, he cut down with his right hand accurately, knocked the ball out of Carlil's exposure, and got the ball. The steal is successful!

Gan Guoyang handed the ball to Dippenbrock, then looked back at Carlil, shook his finger at him, and twisted his ass into the attack with a nonchalant face.

Carlil was naturally furious and wanted to teach Gan Guoyang a good lesson.

However, in attack, Gan Guoyang is still making the ball for his teammates, his coverage is of very high quality, and there are occasional bright passes. It made Carlil feel like he was exhausted.

Back on defense, Carlil either couldn't catch the ball, was tackled, or was directly disgraced by a clean block from Gan Guoyang.

Eight minutes into the game, led by Gan Guoyang, the Vikings had a 12-point lead at 19:7. In these eight minutes, Gan Guoyang did not score a point, but he contributed 8 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists, and it can be said that he is comfortable on both offensive and defensive ends.

And on the opposite side, Carlil did not perform anything other than the opening dunk. He was annoyed and angry from the beginning, and he was bent on hitting Gan Guoyang or preventing him; Later, he began to find that he couldn't fight and prevent, and Gan Guoyang didn't bother to attack on his own.

Until the Bulldogs called a timeout, Carlil was still unproductive on the field. He walked off the stage dejectedly, no longer with the smug arrogance of the opening.

'Gan, I think we can break them in the first half.' Bellman felt like there was nothing to say at the timeout, and the only thing he had to do was get Gan to give it his all.

"No problem, Mr. Bellman, it's time to harvest the ripe ears of rice."

After the timeout, Gan Guoyang returned to the court, and his style changed.

Attacking, he began to bombard the inside of the Bulldogs with all his might. He was constantly playing around the three-second zone, and neither Carlil nor Carlil's substitutes could stop him from receiving the ball in the right place.

Although Carlil is better than Gan Guoyang in terms of strength, he is obviously lacking in skills, and he is always eaten by Gan Guoyang in the card battle.

"Hey, Carlile, you're too slow. Every time I jump up and shoot, all I can see is your skull. Gan Guoyang taunted Carlil after throwing in a turnaround jumper. Because Gan Guoyang's turnaround jumper was too fast, the strong but slightly bulky Carlil didn't even react, and watched Gan Guoyang shoot and hit.

By this time, Carlil's confidence had completely collapsed.

Not just Carlil, but the morale of the entire Bulldogs team is rapidly falling to the bottom. They found that there was no way to take the opposing center, the score was constantly stretching, and many people were already thinking about going to take a shower after the game and then go out for a good meal.

In this way, Gan Guoyang threw away the soy sauce bottle in the middle of the first half, suddenly exerted his strength, slashed and beat the pit bulls team, and scored again and again with accurate turn-over jumpers.

It took Gan 20 minutes to complete the indiscriminate bombardment of the bulldogs, and when the second half was interrupted, Bellman replaced him.

At this time, his stats are, 41 points, 22 rebounds, 7 blocks, 4 assists.

The Vikings eventually swept away their on-town rival East Palo Alto Bulldogs 91-49 on the road. In the previous year's competition, the Vikings also lost to the pit bull by 3 points, and a year later, it has been turned upside down.

During the post-match ceremony, Gan Guoyang and Carlil politely shook hands, and Gan Guoyang could feel the weakness and weakness in Carlil's eyes, just like Pitman. He knew that the next time they met, neither Carlil nor the Bulldogs would ever get another chance.

In comparison, the Vikings at this time can be said to be full of confidence, especially when they defeated their rivals in the same city this time, a private high school, and the boys from a public high school naturally had a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

"Gan, I think at least in Palo Alto, you have to know about it." Dippenbrock said to Gan Guoyang in the locker room.

"It wouldn't be a great deal if I were known to everyone in America one day, would it, Peter?"

…………………

"Big cousin! Big cousin! Look, you're in the newspaper again! ”

On Thursday, Gan Guoyang, who was sleeping in the dormitory, was woken up by Gan Guohui, who rushed through the door, and then saw a fat man lying next to his bed with a newspaper in his hand.

"What's wrong? What newspapers? Gan Guoyang was still a little sleepy-eyed, after winning the game yesterday, Gan Guoyang decided to give himself a vacation today to rest.

Palo Alto Weekly. You see, we reported yesterday's game between our school and high school, and you see, here and here, 'Vikings slaughter Indian warriors, Chinese boys destroy opponents in half the game.'" And your picture! ”

Gan Guoyang took a closer look, it was indeed yesterday's game report, and there was a photo of him on it, which was his helpless expression after scoring the goal, and he seemed to feel sad for the opponent's defense.

"It's an interesting story...... Eh, Guohui, where's your mother? When will the presidential assassination case go to trial? Gan Guoyang abruptly changed the subject and mentioned his cousin, apparently he was not interested in the report.

"I don't know, it is said that this case will be delayed until next year, and the law in the United States is trouble! It's as simple as killing someone, but it has to be grinded for so long. ”

Qian Hui has been busy with Hinkley's case during this time, flying back and forth between * and San Francisco, not knowing when it will be a head.

After chatting like this, Gan Guohui also lost interest in the newspaper report, and the two began to talk about other interesting things.

In fact, after playing yesterday's game, Gan Guoyang felt a trace of fatigue, not physically exhausted but internal. Or rather an impatience, for since Mr. Thurmond's training, he seems to have been unbeatable on the pitch.

Everything seems to be under his control, he can easily get in position, score easily, defend easily, win games easily.

In his memory, the last time he really felt defeat on the court was back in that challenge match with "cancer". It was also from that street challenge that Gan Guoyang aspired to become a top interior lineman, a real center.

And now, as the absolute core of the Vikings, he has made a name for himself in the Palo Alto area and a small name in Northern California, and has received the attention of some basketball professionals.

But he felt that there seemed to be a little less passion in his heart, although he still loved basketball, still trained hard, and still led the Vikings to soar.

In the four games since he returned from injury, he averaged 35 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks per game, and he played just 30 minutes. Basically, he spent the last eight minutes of the game on the bench.

Gan Guoyang felt that there was a lack of fire in his heart, and he had a feeling of "drawing his sword and looking around at a loss".

Although he knows that there are many basketball players in other parts of California, in the United States, in the NCAA, in the NBA, and so on. However, he didn't know when he would meet them, and he couldn't wait.

In the afternoon, Gan Guoyang came to the training ground again as usual to practice with his teammates and prepare for the weekend's competition.

"Dear girls, can you have some spirits? I still want to stab your chrysanthemums with a big stick to urge you! Give me snacks! Bellman roared from the sidelines, as usual.

But this time, he also felt that the atmosphere in the team was not quite right, these lads were too relaxed.

After Gan Guoyang's return, the team ushered in five consecutive wins, and every game was a big victory. As a result, Palo Alto High School has achieved an excellent record of 8 wins and 2 losses, with a winning rate of 80%.

Victory can be paralyzing, especially for the Vikings, who have been underwhelmed in the past, losing one game and winning one game. At this time, they were like nouveau riche, and the sudden wealth made these young people a little overwhelmed, and then fluttered.

Even a mature, stable and determined player like Gan Guoyang also showed a hint of laziness because of his consecutive easy victories.

"It's time for them to learn a lesson, Skyrim High School is coming, and I heard that they have two more talented newcomers to their team." Bellman had in mind the upcoming challenge the day after tomorrow, and the Vikings' opponents would be the Oakland Skyrim High School Eagles.

"Alright, girls, that's the end of today's joint practice. Tomorrow there will be a full-court five-on-five training session to prepare for the next day. I hope you will understand that underestimating enemies and pride can only lead to painful defeats. Of course, I know it's useless for me to say here, so let's wait for the game the day after tomorrow to compete with the Eagles. Disband. As usual, Bellman handed over the key to Gan Guoyang as soon as he disbanded, and then the first one patted his ass and left.

"Peter, is Skyrim High School amazing?" Gan Guoyang listened to Bellman's words and asked Diepenbrock curiously.

"This year, there are two ninth-grade newcomers from Skyrim High School, one inside and one outside, which is very powerful. They now have a record of nine wins, including five regular-season matches and four invitational matches. ”

"Ninth grade? That's a fourteen or fifteen-year-old student. Gan Guoyang thought of Antonio Davis at McClaude High School No. 33 at this time. He is also a ninth-grade high school student, but he already has very strong strength.

If the Chinese are fourteen or fifteen years old, they are still children in everyone's eyes. In the United States, many fourteen or fifteen-year-old black and white boys have grown so strong that they look like young people in their 20s.

The same is true for girls, who already have proud body curves at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and many girls mature and begin to fall in love at the age of twelve.

"Then I can't ask for it, the recent games have been a bit boring." Gan Guoyang said, and then began to continue practicing with Dippenbrock.

He didn't expect that the next fight would be a physical and mental battle.
