Basketball, as a complex modern offensive and defensive sport, has a history of more than 100 years in the 21st century.

Over the past hundred years, players in basketball have continued to improve, becoming taller, faster, and stronger; The technical movements related to basketball are also becoming more and more abundant and complex.

And in these innumerable, from basic to complex basketball technical movements, almost every one of them will be used by some athletes to the extreme, and become a legend in the basketball world.

For example, Michael Jordan's step-back jumper — though he spent his final college season in North Carolina in 1983; For example, Olajuwon's basket footsteps, which he also finished in Houston in 1983

a chance to compete for an NCAA championship;

For example, Magic Johnson's no-look-pass - at this time he already had two championships and FMVP in hand, but experienced a painful defeat in 1983; For example, Jason Kidd's no-deceleration breakaway – he's still in the Olympics

The streets of Crane are taught by Gary Payton.

But among all these stunts, only Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook, in the professional league, there are almost ancients before but no one after.

The hook is an essential attack technique for all centers, allowing them to deliver a fatal blow with one hand close to the basket with less preparation and less time.

But no player can hook up like Abdul-Jabbar, within 17 feet of the basket, from one side of the baseline to the other, in a range of 180 degrees, at any angle, at any distance, with either the left hand or the right hand

Able to throw the ball into the basket with a hook hand.

Not to mention being like Abdul-Jabbar, which is coordinated, graceful, and difficult to block, and is called a "sky-hook".

Gan Guoyang can't either.

After a year of hard practice, when it really came to the confrontation game, his hook hand was still limited to the right hand, so he asked the ball to turn to the baseline on the right side of the basket; The distance of his hook hand to 15 feet is already the limit, and it will change no matter how far it goes

Very uncertain; His movement wasn't perfect enough, as he had to spend more effort on his non-shooters to get more space to open up defenders and get more space to hook shots.

In today's game, though, at UCLA's home stadium, his hook is scary enough.

After throwing in the 15-foot long-distance hook, Gan Guoyang showed his might again on the defensive end, directly gambling to give up the inside line to pounce on the outside line, and slapped Jackson's small toss.

The pit bulls team launched a fast attack, Gan Guoyang went down quickly, and UCLA quickly retreated; But when he received a pass from his teammates 8 feet away from the basket on the right side, he didn't burst into the basket, but directly hooked his hand, "bang", and the ball hit the board into the basket.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Gan Guoyang was once again on the right side of the waist street ball, Gray defended, Gan Guoyang dribbled with his left hand and pretended to cut inward, but suddenly turned around, slid forward, hooked his hand, "Wow", the ball went in.

In the 4th minute of the second half, Gan Guoyang grabbed the rebound in the front court at a position of 5 feet in front of the basket, made a feint to shake Gray and Fields, dribbled to the right, hooked Fields' body, and the ball jumped on the basket twice

Next, the net is scored. Fields fouls and adds a penalty.

At 4 minutes and 38 seconds in the second half, the pit bull launched a quick counterattack, Gan Guoyang received the ball at a zero degree angle on the bottom line, and was sandwiched by Fields and Hatcher; Gan Guoyang did not play the ball, turned to the baseline and got rid of it slightly, squeezed Hatcher away, and topped it with his left hand

Kefield, hooked his hand from 15 feet, he didn't even look at the basket, Fields tried to stretch his arm to interfere, but the ball spun off the basket and fell into the net, the ball went in.

UCLA's home stadium has become a silent grave, as was the case at Boston Garden Square in Game 6 of the 1974 Finals, where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar faced Dave Cowens and Don Channey in almost the same position

, with an incredible 15-foot sky hook to beat the Boston Celtics, the overall score is tied at 3:3.

And now, at UCLA, Abdul-Jabbar's former alma mater, Gan Guoyang sends the ball into the basket again and again in the way they are most familiar with, his posture is as stretched as Abdul-Jabbar, and his expression is as cold as Abdul-Jabbar

Cool, but what brings UCLA is not exhilaration, but despair.

"Beep!" The referee's shrill whistle became the loudest sound on the field, breaking the silence.

The Bruins called a timeout, they couldn't let Gan Guoyang go on like this, and he scored 13 points in a row after the start of the second half, covering all the points of the pit bulls.

The Bruins relied on just two points from Jackson's breakaway, and the Bulldogs stretched the gap to 16 points.

Gan Guoyang deliberately walked to UCLA's bench when he left the game, and he looked at Larry Farmar's stinky face as always, and he didn't feel anything other than a hint of relief.

He pointed to the opposing bench, to Reggie Miller, who was sitting there and could only watch the team get beaten up, nodded to him, and then turned back to the Bulldogs' bench.

Defeating UCLA alone will not satisfy Gan Guoyang, defeating UCLA with Reggie Miller is his real goal in order to get back what he lost.

Sure enough, Famar also realized that if the inside line is not dominant, if there is no outstanding firepower point on the outside, the game will not be played.

As a result, the Bruins once again replaced Reggie Miller when the score was behind and the situation was critical.

However, Miller replaced the team's small forward Marenka, so that he and Hatcher stayed on the court at the same time, one inside and one outside, and one shot at the same time, which obviously increased UCLA's offensive options and enriched their tactical rotation.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, took out starting point guard Mark Matthews and replaced Gan Guoyang's old teammate Mikari Williams.

Williams was able to attend Gonzaga University, in addition to the fact that Bellman is the head coach of Gonzaga, and his excellent shooting skills are also a big asset for him.

And his defensive tenacity is also one of the reasons why he is valued, although his biggest flaw is that his physical fitness is too average and can never be remedied.

After some tweaks between the two sides, the game continued.

The home fans also seemed to have eased up and started cheering loudly for the home team again, the 16-point gap was not an unfillable trench, it was still early, more than 15 minutes before the end of the game.

The Bruins serve, Jackson takes a few deep breaths, thinking about how to face Stockton's defense, he has been tortured by Stockton enough in today's game, it took 12 points, and he has to maintain a high level of concentration

But when he dribbled past half the court, he found that the man-to-man defense of the Bulldogs did not use Stockton to defend themselves at all, but used No. 25 Mikari Williams, who had just come off the bench.

Where is Stockton? Jackson glanced across the field and realized that Stockton was like a cop chasing a thief, pestering Reggie Miller, who was constantly running.

Misplaced defense!

In basketball, man-to-man defense is generally played against various positions, with center against center, forward against forward, and guard against guard.

But sometimes the direct alignment defense effect is not good, especially if the opponent has a star player in a certain position, and the defensive ability of the player in the same position of the side is average, then it is likely that in this position, the opponent will be the star ball

The staff opened and exploded.

In this way, in order to contain the opponent's arrows, the opponent's defensive elite will be misplaced to defend the opponent and inhibit the play of star players.

For example, in this game, Gan Guoyang sometimes defended UCLA's top scorer power forward Fields, suppressing his play below average.

In the first half, the biggest reliance of the Bruins was the extraordinary performance of Reggie Miller, and it was by relying on his fiery touch that the Bruins not only survived the scoring drought, but also drove the play of other players and attacked the entire team from the outside

Activate.

In the second half, faced with the same predicament, Famar once again sent No. 31 to rely on his magical performance to cope with the amazing performance of another star of the bulldogs, Gan Guoyang.

But Bellman will not let Farmar succeed, and his response is to let the team's strongest perimeter defender, John Stockton, deal with Miller.

However, Stockton is a point guard after all, with a height of only 6-foot-1, while Miller is 6-foot-6, and the difference between the two is 5 inches, which is really a bit big.

Stockton's only advantage when defending Miller is that he is faster and more agile and can keep up with Miller's footsteps, making his C&S difficult to play.

The pressure on Jackson has eased a lot, Williams has tenacity but too much less oppression, and he can only guarantee not to lose his position in the face of Jackson.

Once Jackson was relieved, the Bruins' offense was smooth, and they once again used their usual stretch tactics, using constant running and covering to start looking for opportunities to break through and make layups, and break the Bulldogs' man-to-man defense.

The ball passed three times at the top of the arc, on the right side, and on the left corner, and Miller relied on three covers to finally get rid of Stockton's entanglement and go straight to the basket!

The teammate immediately passed the ball to Miller's hand with a straight stopper, and Miller adjusted slightly, made two feints in a row, shook off the two defenders of the Bulldog, and wanted to make a layup directly.

"Bang!" There was a sound of a board hitting, but not the sound of the ball hitting the board and entering the basket, but the ball being pressed against the rebound by a large hand.

A pegboard hat, presented by Gan Guoyang.

Miller didn't expect Gan Guoyang to chase the inside line, because when he was running, Gan Guoyang had been pulled to the outside by Fields to prevent his mid-range shot, and only the opponent's big forward was in charge of the inside.

He underestimated Gan's protection and reaction speed on the inside, while also proving that he was not a great passer, otherwise he would have been an unguarded dunk if he passed the ball to the plugged Fields.

After a big hat, the ball is once again controlled by the pit bull, Gan Guoyang's cap is like this, he doesn't like to fan the ball back to the opponent like playing volleyball, but to keep the ball firmly in his own hands.

"This is my territory, you'd better stay away and shoot." Of course, Gan Guoyang would not let go of such an opportunity to mock, and said to Miller, who was blushing.

Giving the ball to Stockton, the bulldog began to unhurriedly tug-of-war and attack at a slow pace, and now the UCLA tree has been sawn to the ground.

As soon as Gan Guoyang ran to the opponent's half, he immediately drilled into the inside line and began to card in the familiar right waist position.

As soon as Famar on the sidelines and the home audience saw Gan Guoyang's posture, their hearts immediately tightened, thinking that as soon as this guy got the ball, he was going to hook his hand again, and everyone was already afraid.

But the Bruins also made an adjustment in defense, that is, to pinch Gan Guoyang.

When Gan Guoyang didn't get the ball, he started to pinch it, Gray was on top at the back, Fields was blocking in front, and the two people sandwiched Gan Guoyang in the middle like two slices of bread to become a sandwich.

In this case, Stockton naturally had no way to pass the ball to Gan Guoyang.

Just as Williams went around the front of the arc from the left side through the cover of power forward Anderson, Stockton made a high hob pass to Williams, who wanted to break inside after receiving the ball.

As a result, he faced a strong defender, and Williams, who was not superior in speed and strength, could not break through at all.

Gan Guoyang, who couldn't get the ball in the waist position, was raised to the left corner position to cover Williams, and the two old teammates have always had a tacit understanding, Williams was very clever to pretend to break through to the right with the help of cover, but he crashed into Gan Guoyang at Hatcher

On the side, when Gray stepped forward to make up for the defense, he suddenly turned to the left, bypassed the misplaced Hatchell, and went straight to the basket from the left side!

This trick was commonly used by Dippenbrock and Gan Guoyang when they were in Palo Alto High School, and Williams also learned it.

Seeing their opponents burst into the three-second zone, Hatcher and Gray just reacted and left to trap Williams.

But before the bag was formed, Williams had already thrown the ball to Gan Guoyang, who cut inside after the cover, and it was another tacit block.

Gray's reaction was quite fast, and he also knew that he should always pay attention to the movement of the screener after the blocking, so as soon as he saw the ball pass back to Gan Guoyang's side, he immediately returned his attention to Gan Guoyang.

However, no matter how fast a person moves, he is not as fast as the ball after all.

When the ball reached Gan Guoyang's hand, it didn't stop at all, just like playing volleyball, with both hands, it bounced back to Williams!

Gan Guoyang was like a moving wall, first covered Williams, and then bounced the ball back, this time Gray reacted too quickly, and the empty basket was successfully attacked by Williams and made a layup

Score!

All this happened between the lightning and flint, Gan Guoyang, a center forward with an average passing foundation but extremely talented, can always show his genius in the passing of the defender's skills.

There was a chorus of surprise and disappointment throughout the home stadium, as such a pass had also been played at UCLA's home stadium in the past, from another of their super centre-forwards.

In the 1973 NCAA Finals, Bill Wharton used the best performance in NCAA history of the Finals, shooting 21-of-22, 44 points and 14 rebounds, achieving UCLA's seven-game winning streak.

In the game, the center forward, who is known as the best passer in history, used such a wonderful wall-hitting pass to add two points to UCLA.

Now Gan Guoyang's pass is like yesterday, and the fans at the scene are almost about to ring in their minds the song "yesterday-once-more" written in 1973, taking them back to 1973.

Gan Guoyang was still expressionless, silently running back to the halfcourt, he suddenly felt that this game had lost its meaning, as if after each hero killed the biggest villain, he stood in front of the enemy's corpse, looking at the tip of the sword dripping blood,

Full of confusion.

People are always like this, when the goal is reached, they start to empty and look for the next goal.

Although the game is not over yet, UCLA still has a chance, but the two sides have already reflected a huge gap in strength.

And in fact, in 1983, UCLA didn't even make it to the national races.

Gan Guoyang used his performance to let everyone see the shadow of the two greatest players in UCLA history, and he used to be a UCLA person, but he has switched to his team.

What kind of irony is this?

At this time, the person who felt the most should be Larry Famar, the culprit who forced Gan Guoyang away, he watched Gan Guoyang's dominant performance in the second half, with mixed feelings.

The game is still going on, and of course Famar will not give up easily, he is still trying to find a strategy to help UCLA turn the tables, but he suddenly feels that maybe he will not stay at UCLA for too long.

A year has passed, and Gan Guoyang has used his actions to clarify what it means to "give back to the other with the way of the other." ”
