This three-on-three training game, if someone records it, will definitely be the same as the one-on-one heads-up between Gan Guoyang and Jordan (Chapter 253 - Real Opponents), and it will become a classic basketball video.

One is a one-on-one big booth, including a variety of heads-up techniques on the outside and inside, two young people who have just entered the NBA, the street blood flowing on their bodies has not been completely drained, this one-on-one heads-up is not the strongest heads-up of two people, but it is likely to be the best-looking heads-up.

The other is the ultimate of three-on-three cooperation, and the three Soviet players who are opponents of Gan Guoyang and Sabonis have a lack of strength, but they have an excellent sense of cooperation.

In the half-time three-on-three, because the number of people on the field became smaller, the space became larger, and many very clever and small combinations were displayed on the field, and at the beginning of the game, it was the three Soviet players who played extremely well.

Among them, two important players in the Soviet team, defender Matthew Leonis and second center forward, Alexander Volkov, who is 6'11 tall, were not much lower in the Soviet team than Sabonis, and even better than Sabonis in the victory over the United States.

These two people are extremely skillful in cooperating, the three-on-three wide space gives the two of them the opportunity to give full play, blocking, dismantling, internal cutting, and splitting the ball, although Gan Guoyang moves fast and has enough strength, but the three-on-three is too little, the space is too large, and he can't cover all the ranges.

In such a game, the role of the defender's individual ability is weakened, while the role of the attacker's cooperation is magnified, plus Sabonis and Gan Guoyang's positions overlap a little, and Gan Guoyang is behind the Leonis team at first.

The team was behind and was scored by the opponent in a row, and they didn't even have the right to attack in the half-time game, but Gan Guoyang was neither anxious nor impatient, and after defending the opponent's attack, he did not begin to use his personal ability to attack the inside.

If he chooses to attack, Volkov will not be able to stop him at all, but then the game will lose its meaning.

Gan Guoyang chose to play a small cooperation with Sabonis and another member of the Soviet team, and when there was someone defending in front of him, Gan Guoyang would never force his shot.

At the beginning, the cooperation of the three was quite rusty, and because of this, they wasted several offensive rights, and were hit by the opponent several times in a row, and the score difference began to widen.

When the score between the two sides became 20:6, Gan Guoyang's team was already 7 goals behind the Leonis team, and the offensive power was still in the hands of the Leonis team.

The Leonis team continued to attack, and unlike the NBA style of play at the time, pick-and-roll was an extremely important tactic in the NBA, but it had not yet reached the point where almost every offense was initiated by pick-and-roll decades later.

As the representative of international basketball, the Soviet Union is the most important tactical source of their game, in the previous 7 goals, every time Matthew Leonis and Volkov block and pick, the other player runs, and then according to the situation, Matthew Leonis will make a choice.

Because Sabonis doesn't go against Volkov, then he has to deal with another Soviet player, that guy is a winger, very strong running ability, he and Sabonis are in the opposite position to make Sabonis very uncomfortable, can't keep up with it, don't play with it three-on-three, it's too easy to leak people.

But soon, Gan Guoyang's side found a way to deal with it, that is, to let Sabonis deal with his old partner Volkov on the inside, and let his own defenders deal with the opposing winger.

Then, let Gan Guoyang personally deal with Matthew Leonis.

Matthew Leonis is 6 feet 5, 1.96 meters tall, a guard, a tall guard on the international stage, he is a left-hander, excellent shooting, and his breakthrough pace is extremely tricky, it is the "European step" that was not popularized in the NBA at that time, even the best NBA defensive player like Gan Guoyang was deceived by Matthew Leonis once by taking advantage of the time difference to let him go to the basket.

This time, Gan Guoyang directly faced him, and Matthew Leonis was not so comfortable.

Matthew Leonis and Volkov just made a block, Gan Guoyang directly chose to squeeze past the blocker, and then quickly approached to press Matthew Leonis.

Gan Guoyang's move, the pace of squeezing is very standard, first stretch out his feet to get in the position, and then move his body to pass, during which he did not "hit", but "squeezed", so if there is a referee, he will basically not be blown foul in this ball.

This kind of squeezing through the defense is commonly used by small point guards when defending and blocking, but Gan Guoyang can master it proficiently, which is entirely due to Bellman's strict requirements, which require Gan Guoyang to be familiar with all the small skills in defense.

At this time, Bellman was standing on the sidelines watching their game, and he knew that Gan Guoyang was about to start exerting his strength.

After squeezing past Volkov with a small technique, Gan Guoyang immediately showed the pressing defensive skills required of an interior lineman, and he did an excellent job of sealing Matthew Leonis's dribbling space and passing lanes.

Matthew Leonis didn't expect Gan Guoyang's movements to be so fast and ferocious, and subconsciously held the ball with both hands to protect the ball, which also resulted in a dead ball.

Matthew Leonis couldn't pass or dribble the ball, and the other two players were stared at.

At this time, a big advantage of the defender in the three-on-three game is reflected, once the attacker has a little problem, the response of teammates must not be timely, because there are not enough people.

Matthew Leonis had no choice but to throw the ball towards Volkov, but Sabonis, who was half a head tall of Volkov, overpowered Volkov and reached out on tiptoe, and got the ball into his hand.

Gan Guoyang's team had another opportunity to attack, because the three-point line was still not used in the Olympic arena at that time, so they needed to dribble the ball back to the center circle when switching between offense and defense, and then relaunch the attack.

When Sabonis grabbed the ball, Gan Guoyang had already run to the middle circle, and Sabonis flicked with one hand, and the ball flew to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang received the ball and nodded in the middle circle, turned around and dribbled two steps, and handed the ball back to Sabonis, who was standing in the horn position.

The ball stayed in Sabonis's hands for no more than two seconds, and then it was in the hands of his teammate who cut through the basket again.

But the guard teammate didn't go straight to the basket, because the opponent was still staring closely, and Matthew Leonis also stepped forward to make up for the defense, so the guard teammate suddenly made a low-handed pass, passed the ball from the left side to the right, and gave a diagonal cut into Gan Guoyang!

Matthew Leonis reacted, turned to see Gan Guoyang rushing over, and immediately raised his hands to stand under the basket, he didn't want to surrender, but wanted to cause Gan Guoyang's foul.

Gan Guoyang didn't break through to the layup at all after receiving the ball, if he was strong on this ball, there would be only one result: a dunk and knock Matthew Leonis half to death.

But he passed!

He also played a low-handed pass and handed the ball to Sabonis, who cut in from the middle!

Sabonis catches the ball, and Matthew Leonis can't turn around this time, so he can only bow his head to dodge!

"Bang!" Sabonis scored a strong one-handed dunk!

One perfect fit, three people, four passes, the ball was in everyone's hands for no more than two seconds, it wasn't like basketball, it was more like volleyball, and Sabonis completed the smash.

This smash sounded the horn of Gan Guoyang's counterattack.

Sabonis and Gan Guoyang are both players with superb basketball IQ, the two played a few rounds in a team, and immediately began to familiarize themselves with each other's playing characteristics.

Sabonis really experienced what it means to have a "high-level basketball experience", and Gan Guoyang, as his teammate, completely made up for Sabonis's shortcomings of small movement range and slow speed on the defensive end, allowing him to guard the basket with peace of mind.

On the offensive end, Gan Guoyang has excellent running skills, blocking and cutting skills, standard basketball movements and good playing habits, and most importantly, his extremely strong finishing ability under the basket, so that every effective pass of Sabonis can be converted into a goal.

Sabonis can feel that there are many balls, Gan Guoyang is hard alone, Volkov can't stop him at all, the one-on-one gap is too big.

But Gan Guoyang has chosen team first, and must cooperate with his teammates, mobilize the opponent's defense, and score with a more relaxed defense.

When the score went from 20:6 to 24:38, Matthew Leonis knew that the ball could not be played, and the three-on-three confrontation match completely turned into an exhibition match between Gan Guoyang and Sabonis.

The cooperation between the two became more and more skillful, and in the end, almost no one wanted to shoot, they just wanted to pass the ball, Matthew Leonis and others had no choice, and they chose to fight one-on-one to the end and never change the defense.

But soon, Gan Guoyang had enough of playing and began to clean up the endgame with his hook hand, at this time, Coach Gomolsky, as the referee, knew that the game was over, Gan Guoyang had played enough, and his goal was achieved.

So, Gomolski, who didn't whistle much in the whole game, blew the whistle in his mouth, at this time he was not like a basketball referee, but more like a boxing referee, and pronounced a judgment that the Matthew Leonis team was technically knocked out, and they had no power to fight back.

At this time, Gan Guoyang stepped forward and Sabonis came to a big hug, and the two young people of the same age found an unparalleled tacit understanding in a simple three-on-three confrontation.

"Well, Avidas, would you be interested in conquering America with me?"

"Haha, of course, I'm willing to take on a new challenge."

Sabonis found the confidence to go to the NBA in this matchup, and he also began to look forward to playing with a strong player like Gan Guoyang, which must be the latest and best chapter of his basketball career.

While Sabonis' path to the U.S. is still fraught with obstacles, they have taken a solid step.
