"Gan, here's the technical stats you want, take a look. I have more detailed stats here, but the players don't like to watch it. ”

"Rest assured, one day they'll fall in love with the stats and be forced to deal with them every day."

On December 31, 1984, the last day of the year, shortly after Christmas, the world will usher in a new year.

Gan stayed in the video room at the Trail Blazers Training Center, watching footage of the last few games, holding a stat sheet handed to him by Culp.

The table counts the 31 games Gan Guoyang has played this season, the detailed data obtained, and the overall league data ranking of the entire Trail Blazers.

And the TV in front of Gan Guoyang was still playing the game of the Trail Blazers facing the Rockets in Houston a few days ago.

The Trail Blazers relied on a twist by Ramsey in the first half to establish a slight advantage over the Rockets and held that advantage until halftime.

In the entire first half, Gan Guoyang only scored 6 points, 4 points in the first quarter and 2 points in the second quarter.

After the start of the second half, Gan Guoyang wanted to score more points, but he was tightly sandwiched by the outside of the rocket.

His long-range hook was mismatched by Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson, and Ramsey also decisively asked Gan Guoyang to stop attacking and asked him to focus on defense.

Fortunately, in this game, the Trail Blazers' outside line was open from the start, and Ramsey's tactical changes made the Rockets' extended defense fail.

Vanderwig, Paxson and Drexler fired three shots to build a 10-plus point advantage for the Trail Blazers in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth.

Gan Guoyang "died together" with Olajuwon on the defensive end, and entangled with Olajuwon with all his might, and neither of them scored more than 15 points in the whole game.

However, the two grabbed 18 rebounds and 17 rebounds respectively, and each contributed four blocks to support the team's interior defense.

Ralph Sampson, the other player in the Rockets' twin towers, was full of firepower, scoring a game-high 31 points, but he was alone, and without Olajuwon's cooperation, the Rockets' interior line did not take advantage of the slightest.

In the end, the Trail Blazers maintained the lead until the end, did not give the Rockets a chance to turn over, and broke the home court of Space City 107-95, avenging the last home loss.

Gan Guoyang scored a measly 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting, plus 18 rebounds and four blocks.

Then the Trail Blazers came to Arizona to challenge their old rivals, the Phoenix Suns.

Morris Lucas, the former Trail Blazers champion in the Suns, learned a good lesson from injury and taught Gan Guoyang a good lesson, scoring 24 points and 11 rebounds in the game, shooting 60% from the field.

Gan Guoyang seemed to have lost his hand in the Arizona desert, once again handing over a low shooting percentage of 2 of 10, and only scored 5 points in the game, setting a new low in scoring this season.

The Trail Blazers also lost to the Suns by a narrow two-point deficit in Phoenix, much to Gan Guoyang's chagrin.

Thankfully, back in Portland, the Trail Blazers welcomed the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors' star Souther was injured in the last game against the Trail Blazers, but it wasn't a big problem, and he made a 38-point break to the Trail Blazers' defensive underbelly.

It's just that the weakness of the Warriors' interior line is more obvious, Gan Guoyang, who has eaten two games, vented his anger on the Warriors, he shot 15 of 22, 10 of 13 free throws, and smashed the Warriors' interior line with a 40 points.

The Trail Blazers also beat the Golden State Warriors 116-96 at home, improving their record to 21-10 and continuing to top the Pacific and Western Conference rankings.

However, the Lakers, who were chasing after them, had narrowed the difference to halftime.

After the Warriors' game, the Trail Blazers got three days off, and their 1984 game was all over, and the next game will be played in the new year of 1985.

In the past three days, Gan Guoyang is still fully engaged in training, but the ups and downs in his data in the recent game have made Gan Guoyang have a lot of ideas in his heart, and he is also a little anxious about his sudden instability.

“40、5、12、20、15、43…… Oh my God, it fluctuates, like a woman's lines......" Gan Guoyang stared at the technical statistics that Culp gave him, in the scoring column, Gan Guoyang can get more than forty points in a while, but in some games, he can only score more than a dozen points, or even single-digit points.

Especially in the last dozen games, Gan Guoyang's scoring has been up and down more and more, and Gan Guoyang himself can't figure out what's going on.

In some games, his hand came up, and it was really useless for the opponent to defend himself, and the 17-foot range around the basket was all his firing area.

And once the hand is not good, Gan Guoyang will be a little at a loss, especially after encountering the bag, in the current game, the opponent has more and more bags against him.

For example, on the court against the Suns, from the first quarter, Nance and Lucas often clamped and semi-packed Gan Guoyang, which made Gan Guoyang very uncomfortable, the offensive rhythm was completely disrupted, and the hook was very dependent on the sense of rhythm.

Gan Guoyang also asked Ramsey about this, and Ramsey said that as the season progresses, the team will get to know each other better.

Because Gan Guoyang is a rookie, many teams don't pay attention to this Chinese kid, and there is no focus on defensive strategy, plus they mostly play in the west, so Gan Guoyang will feel that the defensive pressure is not particularly great.

And now the Trailblazers have played against every team, and they have played against some teams several times, such as with the Suns, and suffered several losses on Gan Guoyang, so if we meet again now, we will definitely make special arrangements.

Among them, the bag clamp is the most common and effective means of containment, which is also Gan Guoyang's most hated defensive treatment.

"Why can't I see anyone over there?" Gan Guoyang watched the statistics and stared at the video again.

In the game with the Rockets, Gan Guoyang tried several single attacks at the beginning of the third quarter, but was trapped, and the result was either a mistake or a shot that could not be scored under the interference of the two.

Gan Guoyang watched the game from the perspective of the camera, only to find that when he was trapped, Van Devecz had cut into the right side of the basket, if Gan Guoyang moved to the top of the arc outside, and after another transmission, the ball could be passed to Van Dewicki, which formed a good offensive opportunity.

It's a pity that Gan Guoyang, who was standing on the court, couldn't see it, he chose to go to the bottom line and turn over and hook his hand, but was interfered by the 7-foot-3 Ralph Sampson and didn't throw.

"What's the matter, my passing talent is not low, why can't I pass such a simple ball?" Gan Guoyang looked at the mistake after being trapped, and muttered in annoyance.

To this day, Gan Guoyang still clearly remembers the data values he set for creating that player in NBA2004 game.

On Passing, he gave a high value of 75, which is quite good on the inside, and the Kings' Webb is only 69 on it.

"According to my current passing ability, it is estimated that it is only in the 50s......" Gan Guoyang thought about his passing value and his current passing ability, and began to estimate his current passing ability.

After coming to the United States through rebirth, in a few years of basketball career, Gan Guoyang's mysterious basketball talent can be said to have played a huge role.

In the past few years of basketball, Gan Guoyang has also found out some secrets of his own set of ability.

The first secret, which he first discovered, was that before he came to the United States, he used a touch of height in the airport in Shanghai to prove that his bounce did not improve because of rebirth.

But after coming to the United States, Gan Guoyang found that his jumping ability and height were growing rapidly, and he didn't do much practice himself.

After that, Gan Guoyang discovered that talents in physical qualities such as strength, reaction speed, and physical strength would gradually increase over time, and if he trained more, he would grow even faster.

For example, Gan Guoyang's strength, after coming to the NBA, high-intensity strength training, made Gan Guoyang in his rookie period have entered the top ranks in terms of strength.

Moreover, in order to prevent too much strength from affecting his hook hand feel, Gan Guoyang has reduced the practice of his upper limb strength as much as possible to prevent himself from hooking directly behind the rebound.

In addition to these physical talents, other individual skills such as shooting, dribbling, blocking, stealing, and rebounding are more slow to increase in ability.

Basically, these ability slots are gradually filled by Gan Guoyang's hard sweat, especially like shooting and dribbling, Gan Guoyang is working hard every day.

Only the passing talent, which is not a single skill, must be built on the tactics of the whole team and the cooperation of teammates to show its true meaning.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang's passing technique is no problem, the passing accuracy is quite good, and he can often pass a fairy ball such as a super long pass or a pass in the back of the head.

But there can only be a few such balls in a game, and Gan Guoyang can pass other balls, large-scale transfers, and hand-to-hand passes, but he doesn't know when to pass them, to whom, and where to pass.

This is completely a matter of experience and tactical understanding, these things can't be given to Gan Guoyang, and hard training can't be given to him.

So Gan Guoyang had a headache and knew that it would not work hard, so he began to watch the video tirelessly to see how the situation on the court had changed.

The second secret was discovered by Gan Guoyang when he participated in the football game in high school, that is, his talent can only be used in basketball, not other sports.

In that rugby game, he passed a peerless good ball, but he was immediately crushed by his teammates Taishan and injured his back muscles, and lay directly in the hospital for a month.

After that, Gan Guoyang found that as long as he participated in some more strenuous sports, especially ball games, his body would be inexplicably injured.

For example, when he ran to play tennis, he ended up ruining his foot, which was not very serious, but it also made him lame for a week.

Another example is at Gunzaga University, and he was pulled by the rugby team as an offensive line, and he didn't dodge, but he suffered a slight contusion in his ribs, and he was scolded by Bellman when he went back.

Since then, Gan Guoyang has never dared to participate in other strenuous sports, at most playing table tennis and practicing yoga.

Even if he played table tennis, he was not less smashed in the face by the small table tennis ball.

The third secret is that Gan Guoyang discovered through his own experiments that talent values can be broken through.

In the game against the Sacramento Dragons in high school, Gan Guoyang sent a shocking dunk, and the level of this dunk obviously exceeded Gan Guoyang's 50-point dunk ability.

After that, Gan Guoyang began to practice his dunks frantically, spending a lot of time every day on catching baskets.

During that time, his palms were always in a state of redness and swelling, and then he slowly realized that the ability value could be broken.

Because the ability to dunk is directly related to the player's physical state and is the result of the combination of multiple ability values, the value of 50 set by Gan Guoyang himself does not match his own physical condition.

Therefore, in some games, when Gan Guoyang is highly focused and in excellent physical condition, his dunk ability will overflow.

In normal state, Gan Guoyang still only has a dunk value of 50, no matter how high he jumps and how long his arms are.

Gan Guoyang later used high-intensity training to make himself able to dunk more mentally in his daily state, and his dunk talent was increased by ten points.

Gan Guoyang was extremely happy about this, and increased the practice of other techniques.

But then he realized that it wasn't that simple.

The ability to dunk is the earliest full value of all technical abilities, because this technique is the simplest, has no technical content, and does not require any training.

As for some other abilities, Gan Guoyang has not even been able to reach his set value, let alone break the table.

It's just that this also gave Gan Guoyang a motivation to understand that there is no upper limit to his ability, as long as he works hard, there will be a day when he will surpass!

"In the future, I will not only do what Wharton did, but also do what he can't!" Gan Guoyang remembered that the oath he had made was based on his confidence in his talent and his unremitting efforts.

After figuring this out, Gan Guoyang watched the video in the video room for several hours until Culp came to the video room to find him.

"Gan, you're calling from home, asking you to go back. It's almost 1985, do you want to watch a year's worth of video? ”

Gan Guoyang looked up at the clock, only to find that it was already late at night, and it was time to go home to spend New Year's Eve.

Because Wang Fuxi came from Spokane.

"Okay, I'll let her pick me up, I don't know how to drive."
