"Isiah Thomas Breakthrough! The ball went in and the two sides were tied again! ”

"Now it's up to the Nuggets, the Nuggets, it's just Vanderwig and Ingrid. I don't think everyone else has the strength anymore. Inglish, dribbling, relying on a pick-and-roll, jump shot, the ball goes in again! The Nuggets are ahead again! ”

"Back to the Pistons, okay, let's see who else can squeeze out the last bit of strength, I think they're all faltering. Who, who, who, oh, it's Rounder, it's Rounder, and he hits a mid-range shot! Oh my God, the score has been leveled again, how many times has this been a deuce? The number of draws in this game is like Chamberlain's good woman, too many to count. ”

"The Nuggets called a timeout, my God, it's horrible; Will these guys defend at all? These guys are literally doing a shooting drill, and I think all the fans in Denver will go up a notch after watching this game. ”

"Okay, the game goes on. The Nuggets served on the sideline, Vanderwig received the ball, and he barely received any interference from the Pistons, and it was with this defense that he scored 51 points, 51 points! In 1960, a team scored 51 points in a game. He was at 45 degrees, and the iconic Vandercic stepped back to shoot ~~ The ball didn't go in! In the final moments of the game, Vanderwig finally lost his way, and he was stunned by his own steps and put the opportunity in the hands of the Pistons. ”

"Thomas, Thomas is dribbling, his dribbling, it's like the ball is stuck in his hand, break! Pull-up jump shot! The ball is in! The ball is in! Once again, the Pistons are ahead! Time is running out, the Nuggets have no timeout, they want to serve directly! No time! Oh, Inglish's All or Nothing...... Didn't go in! Sorry you're not Jerry West. ”

"The game was over, everything was over, and the score was 184:186! Oh my God, 184:186, 370 points in total. Three overtimes, 370 points, the Nuggets and Pistons made history, and while I don't think it's a particularly glorious record, it's also a record. In this game, the two teams contributed a wonderful, unrivaled 'undefended war', 370 points? Oh have to repeat again and again ......"

"Oh, Gan, why did you turn off the TV? It's a magical game, and I haven't seen it in a long time. ”

"If this can also be called an NBA game, then I think the NBA is not far from the end, and I can score 40 points in a game like this. But the opponent will never score more than 100 points. Gan Guoyang held a ham sausage in his hand and said while chewing.

"That's right, Gan, if you go to the NBA, I think you can get at least 3 blocks and 15 rebounds per game, plus 20 screams from the female fans and 30 'fucks' from the opposing fans, so you get a triple-double!"

“Fuck！ Williams, if your shooting can improve as well as you can get your quips, I think I'm going to give you the team's leading scorer. ”

"No, Forrest Gump, get around me, if I can score the same points as you, I think I'll probably be drafted in the fifth round of the draft. In the fifth round, it was not bad, and I thought it would be best to go to New York, play with Bernard King, and experience the good life of New York; Or just come to L.A. and play with Magic, I want to play with him and I'm going to score about 10 points per game... Oh no, 8, 8 I'm satisfied......"

"Gan? What's wrong? How does it feel to be back in Los Angeles? ”

At this time, Gan Guoyang stood by the window of the hotel room, looking out the window at Los Angeles, which was still brightly lit, and seemed to have returned to the night that made his blood surge.

After that passionate night, he left Los Angeles, the city of angels where too many people are looking for dreams, Gan Guoyang did not expect that he would return here a year later.

After returning to San Francisco and calling David Falck, he received the exciting news that his high school coach, Bobby Bellman, had been invited to become a college coach by Gonzaga University in *state because of his outstanding coaching performance in the high school league.

Located in the city of Spokane, Gonzaga University is a medium-sized university with more than 5,000 students and enjoys a strong academic standing, especially in its law department.

However, Gonzaga basketball is really not worth mentioning in the American college basketball world, and in the history of the NCAA, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have almost never been noticed.

The league in which the school is located is also the little-known West Coast Athletic League, a minor league that has never produced a strong team.

Before 1983, no team in the league had won an NCAA championship, not even a final-four.

However, history was changed by the arrival of Gan Guoyang, whose arrival showed Bellman's talent, and Bellman realized his dream of coaching a college team.

Bellman's arrival has injected infinite possibilities into the future of the Gunzaga basketball team, as Bellman receives a phone call from a scout named David Falck.

When he learned on the phone that his proud disciple had left UCLA to find a suitable school, Bellman was so excited that he could barely hold the phone receiver.

Gan Guoyang is the most talented and promising player Bellman has ever encountered in his coaching career, although this is a Chinese.

Because of this, Bellman did not want to delay Gan Guoyang's future, he felt that Gan Guoyang should go to a bigger and broader stage, so he did not tell Gan Guoyang that he would become a coach at Gunzaga University.

But Bellman also has deep regrets for Gan Guoyang, because he failed to lead the Vikings to the second league championship, and he knows that Gan Guoyang has been depressed for a summer, and he is not so.

If he has the opportunity to coach Gan Guoyang again, how can he not be impressed when he can build a championship team around him again? How can you not be excited?

Bellman agreed to Falck's request without hesitation, and immediately began to dredge up with the school to prepare for Gan Guoyang's transfer.

When he saw Gan Guoyang who came with Qian Hui in Spokane City, he couldn't help but rush forward and give the tall man a big hug.

This hug made Gan Guoyang feel extremely warm, which he had never felt during his three months at UCLA.

Without any words, without any greetings, Gan Guoyang is sure that Bellman is the one who can really discover his own thousand-mile horse.

Everything went very smoothly in the future, Qian Hui completed all the legal formalities, and transferred Gan Guoyang's student status to Gonzaga University, in this beautiful university, Gan Guoyang started his new university life.

If nothing else, at least he doesn't have to travel to the gymnasium to train anymore, because his dormitory is right next to the gymnasium.

After joining the basketball team, another surprise awaited him, that is, his high school teammate, shooting guard Mikari Williams, actually followed Bellman to Gunzaga University.

Because Williams played well in the high school league, he also changed his fate and won a college basketball scholarship.

But then, a bolt from the blue struck.

Gan Guoyang, who had just arrived at Gunzaga University, devoted himself to the team's training with 12 points of enthusiasm, and showed superior basketball skills and super high basketball IQ in training, so that Bellman had to press him to the bench again in confrontation training.

Just when Gan Guoyang was full of confidence and was ready to participate in this year's West Coast Sports League basketball league and fight hard for the team to enter the NCAA National Championship, Bellman told him that transfer students could not participate in official competitions in their first year.

Gan Guoyang didn't expect that there were such rules in American college games, but when he thought about the various complicated rules in the American basketball league, he was a little more balanced in his heart.

This means that if Gan Guoyang wants to participate in the official competition, he will have to wait until 1983, which will take a whole year.

Before that, Gan Guoyang could only play some warm-up games for Gunzaga University, so in the course of a year, Gan Guoyang ravaged all the teams from various universities in the state in various warm-up games to prepare for the official competition a year later.

The summer of 1983 finally passed, and in this June, the Philadelphia 76ers, who owned Moses Malone, swept the league with a storm of leaves, losing only one playoff game under Malone's slogan of "Fo, Fo, Fo", and swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals, avenging last season's one-shot victory.

In the fourth Finals in nearly seven years, the 76ers finally won a championship trophy.

The storm of the 76ers has passed, and in another fall, Wang Fuxi chose to go to Spokane and chose Gan Guoyang's Gonzaga University to become an undergraduate student in sports medicine.

The separation between the two places for more than a year not only did not dilute the relationship between the two, but it became more and more honey because of the letters and phone calls that never broke off.

On December 13, 1983, the NCAA league tournament had already begun, and after several rounds of regular season play in the league, the Gonzaga Bulldogs traveled to the Southwest Coast, where they were going to play an invitational tournament against the powerful Pacific 10-School League team.

The NCAA competition is also divided into four levels, large and small, and nearly 100 leagues because of the vast territory of the United States, and college students have academic tasks in addition to the competition, plus the school funds do not allow. The complexity of its composition made Gan Guoyang dizzy for a while.

Division I teams can compete in the NCAA at all, and thankfully, the West Coast Athletic League is one of the more than 20 leagues — a number that has expanded to 32 in the 21st century.

Each league will have its own regular season and tournaments, and the winner of the tournament will qualify directly for the NCAA Nationals.

But in 1983, the NCAA National had reached 48 spots, so in addition to the champions of each league, the other teams would be selected by the committee.

The selection criteria are the fame, strength and performance of the team.

The best indication of the strength of a league's non-championship team is the result of its matches against other league teams.

Therefore, cross-conference competition is also an essential part of the national college basketball game.

The Pacific-10 alliance that Gonzaga University faces is one of the most powerful in the United States.

Among these ten universities, UCLA is not to mention that other universities such as the University of Arizona, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and the University of Southern California are regular NCAA students, with Oregon winning the NCAA championship in the distant past 1939.

Also, the schools in the Big Ten are not too far from Gunzaga University, they are all on the West Coast, so it's a good place to come and play an invitational tournament.

Unlike high school competitions, NCAA conferences start with invitational tournaments to build up records and hone their teams, and then start regular tournaments within the league to compete for league championships and NCAA national qualification.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang followed the team to Los Angeles, where the first opponent they had to face was UCLA.

In the hotel room, Gan Guoyang and Williams watched the three-overtime battle between the Pistons and the Nuggets to set a record for NBA all-time scoring in NBA history, and became witnesses of history.

Gan Guoyang was still looking out the window at this time, looking at the night scene outside through the glass that reflected his impression, and he retracted his thoughts.

More than a year has passed in this way, and everything I experienced at UCLA is still vivid.

Tomorrow will be the day when he returns to UCLA, and he does not hate UCLA, but instead retains a yearning and reverence for this legendary school.

But he loathed those who had neglected him, despised him, and disrespected him; He also missed some of the great friends and classmates he had met during the three months, such as Chammoss.

Of course, there are also Gan Guohui and Chen Xing, who are also in Los Angeles, and they have already said that they will definitely go to watch tomorrow's game.

"It's a pity that Fuxi can't come." Gan Guoyang sighed, he was now used to Wang Fuxi quietly watching his game from the sidelines, whether it was good or bad, she was always there.

"Knock knock knock......" Just when Gan Guoyang was thinking about it and the two people in the room fell silent, there was a knock on the door.

Gan Guoyang walked over to open the door, and when he saw it, it was his teammate.

"Hello, John, why are you here?" Gan Guoyang said.

"I'd like to come and talk to you about tomorrow's game, I know you've been at UCLA... Oh sure, I'm not trying to uncover something, we all know you have a bad memory there, but I thought it might help us get some preparation for tomorrow's game. "The guy who came in wasn't tall, he was white, but he didn't look like an athlete at all, he didn't speak the way he spoke, he was more like a team manager or team leader.

"It's okay John, I know you're not malicious. Belch... To be honest, I really don't think there's anything to be afraid of as a UCLA team, I mean they used to be very brilliant now, but now according to my understanding, the gap between them and the past is not half a star. ”

"But we should be cautious because they had a good result last year."

"Okay John, I know you're like that, so let's talk about what to do with this big brown bear." The name of the UCLA team is the Bruins.

So Gan Guoyang began to discuss the game with his teammate who seemed serious and serious, which is what coaches should do in other teams.

But these two men, who also have extraordinary basketball IQs, have always been able to sort out a set of coping methods in pre-game discussions, often turning Bellman's preparation into a repetitive task.

Now, Gan Guoyang finally feels that he is no longer the only pillar in the team, and someone can share the pressure for him.

That man was John Stockton.

(Historically, Gonzaga University did not play an invitational tournament with UCLA in 1983, purely for plot purposes)
