Gan Guoyang still remembers that in high school and college games, Bellman was always like a slave owner with a whip, and any player who dared to slack off in defense would be whipped.

But when it comes to the Trail Blazers, the players' defense, especially from the outside, often becomes dispensable.

Gan Guoyang and Sampson on the interior are excellent blockers and defenders on the defensive end, but they are both mid-sized interior players in terms of height and weight, and they can't sit completely in the three-second zone like Mark Eaton and fan one by one.

Gan Guoyang once wanted to stand in the three-second zone to block every impact of the opponent's basket like he did in college, but he found that in such a high-level confrontation in the NBA, without the assistance of outside players, it is completely impossible to rely on individuals to block the opponent's outside breakthrough.

He himself often pays for too many fouls.

After more than ten games, Gan Guoyang has learned to give up defense at the right time, but the feeling of watching the opposing player score on the basket is really bad, which makes him very, very depressed.

Not to mention, seeing that these points conceded by the team are often caused by the lack of outside defense, the resentment in Gan Guoyang's heart will naturally grow.

Among them, Vanderwicki's defense is undoubtedly worthy of criticism, although he can contribute about 30 points per game, but he is often a cash machine on the defensive end.

In the first game against the Kansas Kings, the opponent's small forward Eddie Johnson scored 30 points; Against the Lakers, Worthy, who was opposite him, scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting; Against the Nuggets, he allowed his old teammate Inglish to score 45 points; In the last game against the Warriors, Sauter scored another 48 points on his head.

In this game against the Jazz, just a few minutes after the opening game, Dantley was about to score a double-double.

Gan Guoyang wanted to rush to Vanderwig and ask him, why didn't he try to defend hard? Is he untalented? It does take talent to defend, but it takes attitude more to defend.

Many of Vandervic's balls are leaks, or eye defense, and Gan Guoyang can't make up for it if he wants to.

But there are some things that Gan Guoyang is not easy to say.

Although Gan Guoyang has always been open-mouthed, often no big or small, even Bob McAdoo dares to fight, but Van Dewych is different, and the relationship between the two is actually very good in private.

On the first day of the team's training, Vanderwiczy, a UCLA veteran, looked for Gan Guoyang's stubble, and the two became good friends who practiced shooting together.

After that, every day of training, Gan Guoyang had to find time to practice shooting with Van Dewic, and Gan Guoyang tried to get his mid-range jumper back this season.

Van Dewych also has a good relationship with Drexler, who admires Drexler very much.

When Drexler and Ramsey had a conflict, Van de Wych would always speak for Drexler and decided that Drexler would definitely be a superstar in the future.

Needless to say, the relationship between Gan Guoyang and Drexler is the best friend.

With these two layers of relationship, coupled with the fact that Van Dewicki is the team's biggest star at the moment, a friendly senior, Gan Guoyang can't casually point fingers at Van Dewig.

So sometimes, Gan Guoyang would rather Drexler play as a small forward, Drexler is not a defensive expert, but he is at least physically strong, defensive conscious, and will not miss people.

However, Ramsey's approach to solving this problem is different from what Gan Guoyang thought, and he also knew that Van Deweich could not defend well, so he simply did not ask Van Dewig's defense.

It is to completely liberate Van Dewki's firepower in the attack, let the whole team run and play, replace defense with offense, lose one and score two, and make up for the lack of defense with goals.

This makes Gan Guoyang still very uncomfortable, and he still needs to hone for a long time for such an NBA rhythm.

"Serve fast, Gan! Shoot free throws! Run！ Run！ Run！ (Run, run, run!) Ramsey shouted from the sidelines, telling Gan to serve faster so he could launch a quick attack.

Gan Guoyang has always felt that if Ramsay is not a coach, it must be good to be a tenor singer, and his roar is always so full of energy and tireless.

Gan Guoyang sent the ball to Valentine's hand, and then began to run forward with a dull head.

“Run！ Run！ Run！ These three words are written at the top of Ramsay's tactical board, and no matter how Ramsey changes tactics before the game, these three words will always be at the top of the eye.

In Ramsay's view, no matter what tactics, they can only work if they run.

And in this game against the Jazz, Ramsey kept urging the players to run fast.

Because the Jazz have twin towers, two giants, one extremely tall and the other agile and agile, once they fall into battle, it will be difficult for the Blazers to take advantage.

So Ramsey asked every player to run on the court at full speed before the game, otherwise the Jazz twin towers could easily form a defensive formation.

Gan Guoyang was a little unimpressed, he had never been afraid of the Twin Towers.

In the NCAA Final-four, against the Kentucky Wildcats, the Wildcats had Sam Bowe and Melvin Turpin, two giants over 6-foot-11.

As a result, Tin-toer was played as a tin-fool by Gan Guoyang's excellent footwork and agile positioning.

The main reason why Gan Guoyang is not afraid of the Twin Towers is that he has an advantage in the confrontation, although height is important in the inner line, strength is more critical, and Gan Guoyang's bug in strength is enough to make up for his lack of height.

The second is that Gan Guoyang has excellent movement ability and good basket attack skills in the offense, which allows him to attack from a relatively far away place from the basket.

The farther away from the basket, the less powerful the twin towers become.

The main scary thing about the twin towers is the stuffing and blocking of the three-second zone, as well as the strong protection of the backcourt rebounds.

Gan Guoyang can chisel hard in a low position, and he can also play at the edge of the three-second zone, which greatly reduces the power of the twin towers.

Gan Guoyang had just run to the top of the arc, and at this time, Valentine was already like a bulldog, holding the ball and rushing to the three-second zone.

Valentine was not tall, but he had a stout physique, especially his thighs, which were as thick as large tree stumps, and looked like a stubby bulldog.

His passing ability is actually quite good, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have attacking ability.

He saw that the Jazz players were still unstable and the defense was not formed, so he decisively chose to break through.

It's just that he underestimated Mark Eaton's mobility and height, Gan Guoyang saw that Mark Eaton didn't jump much, and the whole person jumped forward and stretched out his arm, and pressed down Valentine, who rushed into the air.

Vanderwicki, who was in a hurry to follow, picked up the ball and was about to throw it, but Eaton was already standing next to him, like a towering tree covering the entire basket.

Van Dewic didn't choose to challenge for Eaton's blocks, which he averaged five blocks per game, and he just started to brush them today.

He turned around with the ball in his arms, saw Gan Guoyang who cut in from the middle, and handed the ball in his arms to Gan Guoyang, who had begun to accelerate up, like a ** bag.

Gan Guoyang hasn't scored at the beginning, and because of his teammates' defensive problems, he is depressed, regardless of 3721, he will dunk directly after receiving the ball!

There were already spectators standing up from the sidelines, to appreciate the violence that might come.

Of course, Eaton will not let Gan Guoyang break ground on his head, but his reaction is a little slow, and it seems a little difficult to stop Gan Guoyang, who has already rushed up.

Gan Guoyang's bounce is not top-notch, but he has a top-notch waist and coordination.

When he bumped into Eton in the air, he felt that it might be difficult to climb over the mountain.

But he managed to keep his balance, retracted his outstretched right hand, handed the ball to his left, and threw the ball to the basket with a low left hand before falling.

"Beep!" "Bang!" The referee's whistle blew, and Gan Guoyang also fell heavily on the floor.

"Did the ball go in?" Gan Guoyang looked at Van Dewyg, who came forward to pull him up, and asked.

"What do you say, listen to the cheers from the audience?" Vanderwich pulled Gan Guoyang up from the floor and said.

The sound of the entire memorial gymnasium suddenly increased a lot, and applause and cheers filled Gan Guoyang's eardrums.

Gan Guoyang couldn't help but recall the scene when he copied a rock-the-baby in the Clayton University competition, and the whole court went crazy and the game was interrupted.

“Feeling-Good！ (It feels great). Gan Guoyang patted his ass and stood up, knowing that he was going to the free throw line.

The previous complaints about Vanderwicki's defensive misposition were also temporarily dissipated by this pass from Kichi.

"I'm sorry, Mark." Gan Guoyang looked at Eton, who was standing on the side and was a little helpless, and said, he was really sincere.

However, the other players of the Jazz thought that Gan Guoyang was provoking Eaton, Eaton is an honest man who never spews trash talk, and his teammates naturally want to stand up for him.

"You should be like a basket and say sorry, you're going to throw bricks at him later." Jazz's Rick Green said before Gan Guoyang's free throw, wanting to interfere with his free throw.

Gan Guoyang ignored him, he didn't make any preparations after getting the ball, he just opened his hand and threw it, he felt that he was not bad now.

"Fuck-you~" When the ball was still flying in the air, Gan Guoyang turned around and sprayed at Green for the first time.

"Huh!" The ball was scored, and Gan Guoyang's free throws were still quite stable.

Gan Guoyang's arrogance is based on self-confidence.

And Gan Guoyang also has an idea, Rick Green is the Jazz's starting point guard, and Stockton is his backup at this time.

If Green can be beaten, Stockton will be able to play.

Sure enough, back on defense, Gan Guoyang set his sights on Green.

Green had a career season last season, averaging 139 per game and finishing second in the West for the Jazz to be named to the All-Star team.

As an All-Star, he played more confidently on the court and dared to shoot.

But he didn't know that Gan Guoyang had already set his sights on him, gave up defending Eaton, and slapped his shot down when Green tried to rely on a pick-and-roll to make a 45-degree jumper on the right side.

This is also the limitation of the twin towers, so that Gan Guoyang dares to put Eaton to make up the outside line, if the inside line is Jabbar or a mobile inside line, Gan Guoyang generally does not dare to pounce out.

The scariest thing about Gan Guoyang's block is that he is not particularly tall, which often makes opponents underestimate his control height, and in fact his arm span is very terrifying.

And Gan Guoyang's movement speed has always been his advantage, and an outside player will be blocked by Gan Guoyang if he is not careful.

Gan Guoyang's blocks can't help but stop his opponent's attack, and he always gets the ball, and he never likes to racket the ball in the audience like playing volleyball.

"I think you'd better sit on the bench." Gan Guoyang still didn't let go of Green, and continued to talk to Green after handing the ball to Valentine.

Green looked depressed, but he didn't have time to fight back because Valentin was rushing forward like a dog again.

Vanderwicki's play in the offense really doesn't have to be said, his positional sense is excellent, in the counterattack from the right side to the bottom line, through the Jazz's defensive lineup, relying on Sampson's cover to pull out a point guard at the top of the arc, received Valentin's pass and jumped directly, the ball went in!

After the Trail Blazers scored five straight points, they finally pulled the gap away slightly, forcing the Jazz to call a timeout.

"You should be on your 12th! Only the 12th is for you! Gan Guoyang still didn't stop chattering, and yelled directly at the Jazz bench.

Green must now be very sorry for saying that trash to Gan Guoyang, he seems to have opened a Pandora's box at once.

Trash talk was just beginning to flourish in the NBA, and most of the team's players still used their skills to solve problems, and a few big mouths developed mental attacks.

After entering the NBA, Gan Guoyang still can't let go of these seniors, and he has a learning mentality against superstars like Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson.

But after ten games, he no longer cares about these, especially after two games with the Lakers, facing Worthy and his old enemy McAdoo, Gan Guoyang's mouth is not idle at all.

Playing the Jazz today, Green is looking for bad luck, and he is not destined to feel good in this game.

"Hey, are you alright, KiKi." Back on the bench, Ramsey looked at Van der Vicky and asked.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked at Vanderwich and found that he was swinging his arm and gently rubbing his back with his other hand.

"I'm fine, no problem, I'm feeling fine." Vanderwig stopped his movements and said he was fine.

Gan Guoyang knew that the place where Van Dewjew gently rubbed was the latissimus dorsi, and he had also been injured in that position, could it be that Van Dewych had an injury on his back?

"OK, we're doing a good job, as long as we run, the Jazz twin towers won't work. But be careful, in the counterattack, you should reduce unreasonable shots, KiKi and Clyde, to do more axes in the two waist positions, willing to strengthen your cut. Valentine pays attention to the choice, and the projection of the flanks is your task. ”

Ramsey's quick attack is not to play quickly, but to use the rapid advance to create misalignment in the front court, and Van der Verki is the main creator of the misalignment; Now he's ready to send Drexler to extend the gains.

Gan Guoyang was once again thrown into a high position to be an assaulter and spoiler, but he likes the role a lot now, especially in the first half, which makes it easier for him to play.

The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the field.

At this time, Stockton was finally substituted, and Gan Guoyang was going to face off with his old friend on the court for the first time.

"Come-on, John."
