Patrick Aloiseus Ewing was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1962 and immigrated to Cambridge, Massachusetts with his parents in 1975 at the age of 12.

In high school he began learning to play basketball and showed amazing talent. Every time he played, he was able to beat the opponents of other schools in the same district, and their buses were always attacked by the fans of the rival schools.

After graduating from high school, he was scrambling from various universities, eventually getting the star from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., whose coach was John Thompson, who was notoriously rigorous.

To ponder the jewel, Thompson trained Ewing in hellish brutality, and the highly talented Jamaican giant quickly became an NCAA star.

At the 1982 NCAA Nationals, Ewing's Georgetown University reached the NCAA Finals against Pope Dean Smith's North Carolina Blue Devils.

Ewing was still an NCAA rookie that year, and Gan had just lost the finals of the California Division II Championship, but Ewing was not comfortable on this bigger stage either.

In that game, Ewing, who was too impatient, had five jams in the opening game, which was equivalent to giving the opponent 10 points, which also set the tone for the whole game.

In the end, Georgetown was stealed by an opponent because of a stupid passing error by Fraser Brown, and was finally killed by North Carolina and lost the NCAA championship.

Two years later, in 1984, Ewing was already full-fledged, and Georgetown University was strong and strong, and in the invitational tournaments and regular seasons before the national competition, Georgetown faced the siege and interception of the Big-East League, and only lost three games to win the championship of the Great East League.

Ewing was voted the Most Valuable Player of the Great East Conference for his performance and unshakable centrality in the Georgetown team.

For them this year, the championship is the only goal, and the Final-four or the Grand Final is a failure for them, not to mention the Sweet Round of 16, which is not sweet at all for Georgetown.

So in their eyes, Gunzaga University, which also uses a bulldog as its mascot from the far and cold northwest, is just a stepping stone on their way to the championship.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Georgetown University is undermined, and no team can be underestimated in the NCAA, because the single-elimination format makes any defeat unacceptable.

Before the game, the experienced coach Thompson made a careful arrangement, and the most he said was to tell Ewing and other players to lock the opposite center No. 11, the yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese.

Ewing was a little unimpressed by this, in his opinion, looking at the whole United States, except for the guy in Houston, no center has entered his eyes.

The No. 11 center, while having impressively good stats in previous games, was obtained in the West Coast Conference and against Princeton University, and Ewing is sure that if he comes to the Great East League, he will average no more than 15 points per game.

And in this game, Ewing is even more confident that he will limit the yellow boy's score to 10 points.

In the pre-NCAA national games, Georgetown limited its opponent's scoring average to less than 60 points per game, and in the second round of the national tournament, it limited its opponent to 36 points in the 32-16 competition. They scored just 37 points themselves, and after Gunzaga and Texas El Paso, they contributed to an ugly defensive battle that contributed to the emergence of the new rules in 1985.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the opening Gan Guoyang gave Ewing and Georgetown a dismount, first jumped continuously in the scrum to win the ball, and then used a beautiful turn to reverse the basket in the one-on-one duel to avoid Ewing and Georgetown power forward Bill Martin's block, and took the lead in scoring two points.

And this No. 11 is obviously not a good stubble, and he began to argue with Ewing at the beginning, which made Ewing a little annoyed.

However, Ewing is no longer the stunned young man who gave five interference balls at the beginning of 1982, at this time he is more calm and calm, knowing that the game has just begun, and the ball must be played step by step.

So when Georgetown went on the attack, Ewing didn't mean to play Anser-ball, but came to the high post to cover for his teammates.

Both sides were conservative in the opening game, with Gonzaga using the safest man-to-man defense, while elevating Gan to a higher position and allowing him to keep an eye on blocking the opponent's legends and advances in front of the basket.

In this way, Gan Guoyang's burden is very medium, but this is also something that cannot be helped, the other four positions of Gunzaga University, except for point guard Stockton, the other three are comprehensively backward in terms of personal ability.

Especially in the position of small forward and shooting guard, Georgetown University's David Wingate and Reggie Williams not only have an advantage in height, weight, and athleticism, but also are superior in shooting skills and breakthrough level, which puts Gonzaga's forward guards Claremont and Matthews under great pressure.

The only one who is okay is Gonzaga's power forward Anderson, who still has a height advantage, but he doesn't seem to have any other advantages other than his height advantage.

Against Gunzaga, who was underdog in all positions, Georgetown University's offense played patiently, and their coordination was quite fluid, constantly relying on Ewing to provide high-quality coverage to pull Gonzaga's defense.

After a double screen and an open run, Wingate, who had broken through to the inside from the right, made a fake pass before Gan pounced and passed the ball to Martin, who was inserted from the left.

Because of the repeated involvement, Gonzaga's man-marking was leaky, and he began to be unable to keep up with the opponent's rotation speed, and there was also a lag in changing defenses, causing Martin to completely get rid of the defense and go straight to the basket.

Martin received the ball, the defender had already been shaken off by him, and he immediately jumped up and dunked with a powerful two-handed dunk.

But when he jumped into the air and put the ball behind his head to make a beautiful dunk, a wall of navy blue suddenly appeared in front of him.

It's Gan Guoyang.

When he was making up for Wingate, Gan Guoyang was paying attention to his side, staring at Wingate and being careful that he went straight to the basket, and at the same time being ready to make up for the basket at any time, he expected that Wingate was likely to share the ball.

Sure enough, Wingate passed the ball to the left side, and Gan Guoyang reacted immediately, taking a stride from the right side of the basket to the right side, and then jumping up and down with Martin.

But Martin is only 6-foot-7, and Gan Guoyang is 6-foot-10, relying on the advantage of height and reach, he blocked in front of Martin before he dunked.

"Bang!" Gan Guoyang's hand pressed on Martin's ball.

The two forces collided in the air and concentrated on the basketball.

"Phew!" Martin didn't resist Gan Guoyang's huge force, the ball got out of his hand, was slapped away by Gan Guoyang, and smashed to the floor!

Matthews, on the right, saw that the ball was about to go out of bounds, and a fish jumped to catch the basketball before the ball hit the ground, and threw the ball like the back of his head, and he fell the sideline.

The ball returned to the court, but it still didn't belong, and that's when Anderson's height advantage came into play, and he easily got the ball in the scramble with the opposition defenders.

He immediately passed the ball to Stockton, who was already ready to go, and after getting the ball, he bypassed the block of the opponent's point guard Jackson and quickly advanced through the halfcourt.

At this time, Gan Guoyang and Martin collided, and both fell to the ground, and Gonzaga's small forward Claremont had rushed through the half court and attacked directly to Georgetown's basket.

Stockton had a wide vision and a solid pass, and saw that Clermont had a good chance, and directly made a long one-handed pass, and the ball slanted across the court from the bottom right corner of the half and came to Clermont's hand.

After Claremont took the ball, he dribbled, and took three steps and two steps, and strode directly to the basket!

But Claremont, who thought he could easily score, felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and at the same time, a huge force came from his back, and he was directly suppressed when he was still jumping.

"Bang!" Claremont's layup was fanned out of the baseline by a giant palm, and his whole body flew out of the baseline as well.

Lying on the ground, Claremont looked up and saw only a No. 33 giant wearing a gray sè T-shirt in his jersey standing under the basket - it was Patrick Ewing.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Ewing knocked Claremont down, but the body contact was acceptable, and the hands were clean, and it was a good risk to not hit Claremont's hand.

However, the ball was returned to Gonzaga University.

The atmosphere of the scene has been ignited, and in just one minute of the opening game, the center forwards on both sides dedicated two jīng color blocks, and the fierce physical confrontation, four players fell to the ground, so that the confrontation of the game instantly increased.

Gonzaga University served the baseline ball, and at this time, Gan Guoyang had already gotten up from the ground and ran to the frontcourt, but Gunzaga didn't seem to be able to send the ball.

Georgetown's players were like kraft candy, sticking to Gonzaga's players, especially Stockton, who was heavily targeted by opponents.

"5, 4, 3、......" The referee counted the seconds on the side, and Anderson, who made the free throw, was sweating in his head and didn't know who to pass the ball to.

Gan Guoyang saw that the situation was not good, left and rushed to the bottom line, stretched out his arms and waved to Anderson, and Anderson immediately threw the ball at Gan Guoyang when he saw it.

But Gan Guoyang immediately surrounded two Georgetown players, trying to grab this serve.

Gan Guoyang took out the posture of grabbing rebounds, pushed the surrounding Georgetown players away, saw the basketball in the air and immediately jumped, and firmly controlled the ball in his hands.

It was so hard to even take a throw-in, and it was destined to be a tough match.

After stabilizing the ball, Gonzaga began to organize the attack, and their opening attacking pattern was simple, allowing Gan Guoyang to play.

But letting Gan Guoyang play is not to let other players just stand and watch, Bellman in addition to telling Gan Guoyang to play before the game, but also asked Anderson to pay attention to the 45-degree connection on both sides at any time, because he has a good mid-range shot.

For frontcourt rebounds, Gonzaga was not good at it, and this time he gave up directly, so the player's space was very open, and he attracted the defense through the perimeter cross-position cover, reducing the risk of Gan Guoyang being caught on the inside.

Gan Guoyang continued to be in the low position, he came to the left side, but this time he did not spend too much strength, and easily got to the position.

This made Gan Guoyang feel that something was wrong, and sure enough, when Stockton passed the ball over, he didn't grasp the ball steadily, and someone pulled it up behind him!

It's the opposing defender David Wingate! He slipped over from the bottom line and wanted to take Gan Guoyang's ball directly from behind.

Fortunately, Gan Guoyang reacted very quickly and raised his hand to avoid Wingate's robbery.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Wingate and Ewing surrounded Gan Guoyang together, trying to cause his mistake.

Gan Guoyang has always been more afraid of the bag, and his ball handling has always been problematic, so he seemed to struggle a little after being caught by these two people, but fortunately, Stockton immediately stepped forward to answer when he saw this, and Gan Guoyang was able to pass the ball back to Stockton.

Gan Guoyang couldn't play alone, and after Stockton received the ball, he took advantage of Gan Guoyang's cover to cut directly from 45 degrees, attracting the attention of the opponent's inside.

Circling around the baseline, from left to right, Stockton didn't find a chance.

In contrast to Gonzaga's man-to-man defence, Georgetown's man-to-man rotation is extremely fast, always creating a bag in the right place, but not creating a large open space, and once Gonzaga's ball is transferred, the hole is immediately filled.

Their defense is like a steel city, where you can move around freely in a non-threatening area, but want to enter the danger zone? There are no doors.

Gunzaga University is not good at attacking, and their offense mainly relies on Gan Guoyang's super scoring ability and Stockton's on-court scheduling.

Now that Gan Guoyang was heavily guarded, and Stockton was alone, their positional offensive had come to a standstill.

In the end, Stockton had to pull up a jumper directly under one of Anderson's covers.

Such a long-distance shot that was not well prepared and had a bad chance was really difficult for Stockton, who had not yet completed his skills, and the ball smashed into the front of the basket and the rebound was pocketed by Ewing.

Gonzaga's second positional attack failed, but their retreat was so fast that Georgetown couldn't play a quick attack.

Back to defense, unlike before, this time Ewing began to sink to the low position, Gan Guoyang can no longer stay in the high position to block the opponent's peripheral transmission, and must put all his jīng power on Ewing.

In a year of hard training, Gan Guoyang also honed his defensive skills, especially individual defense skills.

He inherited the defensive characteristics of his mentor Nate Thurmond, who was fierce, domineering and stubborn, while his strength advantage made him fearless against any centre-forward.

Ewing also felt that the guy behind him was amazingly powerful, and he tried hard to get deeper, but he couldn't squeeze in.

After getting the ball, Ewing adjusted slightly and looked around; And Gan Guoyang also kept an eye on Ewing while paying attention to the movements of other players around him.

"Come-on, I bet you don't get 10 points on me." Gan Guoyang also stimulated Ewing with words, he wanted to stimulate Ewing to play directly alone, so that he would be more sure to defend the opponent.

After Ewing dribbled the ball twice, he suddenly turned and wiped it under the basket, Gan Guoyang was extremely focused, and immediately pasted it, not giving him space to start.

But Ewing didn't get up and didn't make any other offensive moves, but a low-handed pass to Reggie Williams, who was plugged in from the middle!

Georgetown's coverage and inside cut was a sharp one, and Gonzaga's defensive rotation simply couldn't keep up, and he showed a big hole in the middle.

Gan Guoyang naturally had no choice but to throw Ewing to make up for Williams.

But this time, Williams didn't make the same mistake as Martin, and when he flew in the air to see the pounced Gan Guoyang, he used a beautiful back-to-back pass to pass the basketball to Ewing who was free.

Gan Guoyang has no choice.

"Bang!" Ewing slammed a dunk with a strong two-handed dunk to equalize for Georgetown!

“To！” Ewing held out two fingers towards Gan Guoyang and said, indicating that he had scored two points.

"That's right, you can still get eight points." Gan Guoyang picked up the basketball on the ground and said.
