Chapter 57: Immediate Results

It's been a long time since I've had two updates.,Let's have another chapter today.。 In the future, try to ensure two shifts a day, but if you can't do it, please don't blame it, don't blame it. )

After a two-minute pause, players from the first and second teams returned to the field to continue the first half of the game.

At this time, the players of the second team are still very worried in their hearts, and they don't know if they can play well according to that Gan Guoyang's arrangement, but if someone is in command and has tactics, at least it is better than playing blindly.

The height of the players on the second team is obviously much shorter than that of the first team, the tallest player is only 6'9, which is a big forward, and the other players have not exceeded 6'7.

Under the rules of the game without three-point shooting, teams without height are very disadvantaged.

In this case, unless you have an extremely good outside group, playing fast is the only option.

Therefore, the tactics assigned by Gan Guoyang, the temporary coach, to the second team is to play fast.

Playing fast is not playing fast attack, but playing the opponent's unstable footing, and seizing every opportunity to shoot before the opponent's defensive attention and defensive intensity come up.

At this time, it is necessary to make full use of the three guards of the second team and a small forward.

After sending the throw-in, the second team completely gave up the action of breaking inside and getting stuck on the inside, and the four outside players began to pass the ball repeatedly on the outside.

Their only interior power forward is no longer tasked with attacking, but is doing his best to block and cover other players.

Although the players of the second team have not trained together, they are at least professional players, and some simple passes, cuts, and blocking and dismantling are still very smooth.

This tactic is actually very old, when professional basketball was just beginning and the tactics were still very simple, many teams without excellent interior lines used continuous outside transmission to pull the opponent's defense and look for shooting opportunities.

Soon, due to the first team's combined defense strategy, the second team's four outside lines moved the ball several times to pull out an open spot, and a shooting guard received the ball and shot at the 25-foot position.

"Phew!" Unfortunately, the distance of 25 feet is a bit far, and it is a bit difficult for these players who have not been trained in three-point training.

Naturally, the rebounds were easily pocketed by the center of the first team, and it was the turn of the first team to attack again.

"Well played! Well played! We've made progress! "Gan Guoyang is like a real coach on the sidelines, encouraging his teammates on the field.

"Hmph." And Famar saw that Gan Guoyang really kicked his nose and cheek and regarded himself as a coach, and snorted heavily. At least judging from this round, there is still nothing the second team can do.

But when the first team attacked again, they found that the defensive strategy of the second team had changed a lot from before.

In the past, the second team used man-to-man defense, and there was basically no support and help from each other, so it was easy to be opened up by the expansion tactics of the first team.

Now, the second team has changed to a basic zone defense such as a 2-3 joint defense to restrain the first team's stretch defense.

"Hmph, does this guy think joint defense is so easy?" Famar saw the second team using joint defense and disdained it in his heart.

Indeed, the defense of joint defense requires a good tacit understanding between players, otherwise not only can it not be effective, but it will cause the hole door to open wide because of the untimely filling, and the result is half the effort.

The first team saw that the second team changed to a joint defense position, and did not change the tactics, but continued to use the telescopic tactics and began to perform cover runs on the strong side of the baseline.

But when the scoring guard on the right baseline used the big forward on the right side of the waist to cover, cut into the three-second zone, and executed the first part of the tactic, it was found that the defender did not take care of himself.

Just when he thought that his teammate's ball would arrive quickly and he could easily go to the basket, he found that the point guard who was holding the ball in the high post was actually surrounded by three people!

Two people wrapped it up in close quarters, and one blocked his passing lane.

As the point guards of the first team were unprepared, the ball fell to the ground, and the guards of both sides fell to the ground and huddled for the ball.

"Beep!" At this point, the referee blew the whistle in time and pointed to the penalty ring, and the two sides fought for the ball.

"Yes! Beautifully done! Gan Guoyang once again cheered loudly for the players.

This tactical deception is also what he learned from Bellman, pretending to be a zone defense, but suddenly pressing and trapping one of the opponent's key players, disrupting the opponent's tactical links, and even destroying the opponent's possession.

This is of course very dangerous, once the opposing point guard is prepared, or the individual is very strong, then the defender's formation will be fragmented and almost undefended.

Fortunately, the players of the first team were also in a very relaxed and even paralyzed state, and as a result, they were exploited by Gan Guoyang's tactics.

The players on both sides compete for the ball, and the players of the second team are not as good as the first team, and their physical fitness is still not bad.

The guard in charge of the scrum got to the basketball before the point guard of the first team, and the power forward of the second team next to the circle jumped quickly and firmly controlled the ball.

"Attack! Aggro! Gan Guoyang shouted loudly on the side.

The reaction was still a little slow, but he still threw the ball to the frontcourt, and the defender in the front court immediately pushed the attack quickly after receiving the ball.

If Gan Guoyang had been on the court, he would have thrown the ball to the basket with a one-handed long pass.

The players of the second team can still play basic fast offense, and Gan Guoyang gave advice during the timeout, not to go to the basket, but to solve the problem with a pull-up jump shot.

Sure enough, the defender of the second team pretended to look around to pass the ball after advancing to the front court, but he suddenly made a pull-up jump shot in a 45-degree ambush in the three-second zone.

"Bang!" The ball hits the board into the frame! The second team finally scored another goal in the 7th minute of the game and chased the score to 5:16!

"Okay! Very beautiful! Well done Nate! "This Knight is the Sacramento player who played against Kevin Johnson, and it seems that his jump shot is not bad.

This goal can be said to have broken the scoring drought of the second team and gave great encouragement to the players of the second team.

More importantly, the two rounds of the contest showed that Gan Guoyang's arrangement for the second team during the timeout was effective.

Although his arrangement is very simple, more of a verbal encouragement, once a team has a backbone, the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of a plate of loose sand.

What's more, this backbone has not yet played.

In the following defense, the second team switched back to man-to-man defense, after all, that kind of gambling defense can only be used once in a while, and the usual words will not work.

It's just that once the defending side has momentum and spirit, then even if there is no tacit understanding and no cooperation, it can be done well just by relying on personal defensive ability.

Moreover, the routine of telescopic offense is more serious, mainly the two tactical routines of cutting inside to make a layup and lifting a mid-range shot, once one of them does not work, immediately switch to the next one, and so on.

If you play well, the continuity of tactics is very strong, and it will be quite smooth, so that the opponent is tired; And once you don't play well, or the opponent finds rules and tricks, it will be very easy to defend.

Now, the players of the second team have found a little bit of a way and are beginning to know to pay attention to the tension of the defense, to block every position in time, not to stare at the ball but at the people.

In this way, the offense of the first team is obviously not as smooth as before, and it begins to have to rely on the singles on the inside and the forced breakthrough on the outside, and the scoring efficiency is greatly reduced.

It's so good that the players of the second team are strong in defense, and the feeling in the offense is also coming.

Basketball games are like this, it's so good, you can't feel good, and you can't stop the feeling when the hand comes.

The second team just doesn't play inside, it leads around on the outside, but inserts a 6-foot-9 power forward on the inside, and comes out from time to time to pick up a leak for you and make a mess, you can't completely empty the inside.

And the outside feel comes out, how do the three guards shoot, and after a block and dismantle, they shoot directly regardless of 3721, there is no special tactic, just to be able to enter!

7:16…

9:18…

11:18…

13:18…

15:21……

17:21…

The score of the two sides is getting better and better, basically the second team can score two goals and the first team can score one.

In this way, by the end of the first half, the second team actually chased the score to 26:28 and was only two points apart!

“Come-on! You guys are so fucking awesome! Gan Guoyang was also very excited below, this was his first time as a coach.

The players of the second team also seemed to regard him as a coach, and they all high-fived him one by one, and the gloomy color on his face before was swept away, and he finally raised his eyebrows.

In comparison, the faces of the first team were much more ugly.

They are also veterans who have trained together for at least a year, and they were chased by this group of newcomers in the 15-minute game and were only two points away.

Famar's face on the side was even more difficult to see, but he couldn't go up to coach the players of the first team, after all, all the players were UCLA players, and he couldn't assign tactics to the old players in order to suppress the newcomers.

The thing he hates the most at this time is naturally Gan Guoyang, this guy not only doesn't give himself face, but he even oversteps his command and arranges tactics for newcomers, which even has an effect!

If the second team wins this game, how will he manage these new players? How else does he establish authority in the team?

In fact, if Famar had been broad-minded and not paid too much attention to his coaching status, he would have found that Gan Guoyang was actually an out-and-out genius.

This genius is not reflected in the skill and body, but in the understanding of basketball.

You think, a college freshman, who has not gone through any technical and tactical studies, can command a team and assign simple tactics to the team just by relying on the coach's support in the high school team.

Moreover, he even resorted to tactical tricks!

Most importantly, he boosted the morale of this makeshift team and brought them together in a matter of minutes, which shows that he is completely a leader material.

If Farmar was a good coach, he would have found a treasure, but unfortunately, Larry Farmar was only a third-rate coach all his life, neither leading the team to rebuild glory at UCLA, nor proving that he was a good tactical coach in other teams.

Therefore, he didn't find the excellent traits in Gan Guoyang, but just thought that this guy was a thorn in the head, and wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Hey Gan, you're fucking amazing, why didn't you even make it to this year's McDonald's All-Star Game? I don't think it's okay for you to coach them! After the game, the players of the second team can be said to be a five-body throw to Gan Guoyang, and they all admire his tactical arrangement.

"I don't know, maybe they think I'm too good and hurt the enthusiasm of other players for basketball." Gan Guoyang joked.

Originally, Gan Guoyang was full of expectations for this year's McDonald's All-American High School Star Game, and he felt that with his performance in the California League, it should not be a problem to be selected for the All-American High School Star Team.

He will be able to compete on the national stage and compete against rising basketball stars from all over the country.

As a result, after waiting for a whole summer, until the Star Game started, Gan Guoyang still didn't receive the slightest message to invite him.

He was also very depressed about this, and when he thought that he had seen Jordan participate in the McDonald's All-Star Game in 81 in a McDonald's restaurant, he felt strange in his heart.

However, the 1982 McDonald's All-Star Game can be said to have a bleak star, and few of the selected players went on to make a name for themselves.

In the previous 81 years, there were later basketball gods Michael Jordan and super center Patrick Ewing, and in 1980, there were also powerful players like Kenny Smith and Derrick Harper.

So for Gan Guoyang, there is actually no loss, and it doesn't matter if he participates in such a low-level entertainment competition or not.

"Okay guys, I think it's time to talk about how we're going to play in the second half. We did a good job in the first half but we were still two points down and I think they won't rest in the second half; Losing to your own rookie junior is not a long-faced thing. But it's not a good thing for us to lose, we've got to get rid of them! Gan Guoyang began to cheer up his teammates again, and he was bent on defeating the first team.

"It would be nice if you could play, at least we could have a centre-forward. There were several times when the opponent didn't shoot the ball, and the big man who was 7 feet tall got the rebound in the frontcourt, and we couldn't do anything about him. The second team's only inside player on the court complained.

Indeed, the second team relied on morale and feel, as well as a little change of tactics, in the first half to slowly chase the score back.

However, relying on morale and feel to play is not a long-term solution after all, and in the second half, the second team cannot still have such a high shooting rate.

Once the shooting percentage drops, it will cause a series of chain reactions, such as a drop in morale, which will reduce the enthusiasm and concentration of the defense, and then be pulled away.

One of the key factors is that the second team has no interior advantage, in the game of the eighties, there is no solid defense without the inside line, there is no guarantee of rebounding, there is no stable offensive firepower, so the center is the most basic guarantee of a team's strength.

What Gan Guoyang wants to do most now is to take off the sweatshirt on his body and change into a red vest to play with his rookie teammates.

No matter how high his basketball IQ is, he is not a professional coach, so he can't make something out of nothing, and let the second team, a player without a center, play against a team with a 7-foot center.

"Mr. Gan, how does it feel to be a coach?" Just when Gan Guoyang didn't know what to do, Famar's voice came from his ears again.

"Very well, Mr. Famar, I can probably understand your feelings." Gan Guoyang has something to say.

"Hmph, but you're here to be a player, not a coach! You can play in the second half and hopefully you can play well and maybe you can be a good coach in the future. Famar said.

It's really a mountain and a lot of water, and there is no way out, but I didn't expect Famar to allow Gan Guoyang to play, and this time it solved the center problem of the second team.

"Then don't blame me for not giving you face, so you can't get off the stage!" Gan Guoyang secretly thought in his heart that he was going to go on the court to vent after holding back half the game.
