Chapter 252: A Man's Oath
Before coming to the United States, the Chinese men's basketball team was more or less confident, but their team was also the first in Asia.
However, a Gan Guoyang deeply suppressed the first team at both offensive and defensive ends.
If this game is broadcast live, the audience will see that Gan Guoyang on the court is faster than others in terms of speed and reaction, as if he is not playing on the same plane as others.
"Yang Jun, go inside! The left side is too crowded! ”
"Where's the fawn!"
"Pass!"
"Huh!"
Gan Guoyang does not look like a second center forward in the attack, but the tactical commander of the second team, and he found that the players of the second team have a poor sense of space distance, probably because of the lack of joint training.
Players tend to pile up and space is the most important thing in positional attack.
Gan Guoyang stood in a high position and commanded Yang Jun to go inside, and then asked Min Lulei to come around from the right side to respond, and he passed the ball to Min Lulei to break through.
Min Lulei broke through halfway to attract the attention of the two defenders, and he passed the ball out again, and Gan Guoyang stood at 18 feet to catch the ball and hit a jumper.
"It's really good to have a good tactical quality, and it's really a professional league player." Qian Chenghai now looks at Gan Guoyang's technical characteristics, it is the same as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, whether there are new discoveries that surprise him.
The ability to score inside and out, the large defensive range, and the ability to command the team on the spot all made Qian Chenghai feel the strength of NBA professional players.
Gan Guoyang led the young people of the second team to play better and better, and I have to say that Gan Guoyang has a strong contagion, he can not only play his own role, but also make his teammates better.
"Little deer, keep an eye on your own people, don't always look back and think about making up for it!" In defense, Gan Guoyang began to roar again.
Gan Guoyang has found that in the second team, Min Lulei and Yang Jun are two relatively poor people, Min Lulei is a lot inferior to Sun Fengwu in terms of speed, shooting, bounce, strength and other aspects, and this guy will not be distracted.
Yang Jun mainly has a poor sense of position, and it is very important for an inside player to learn how to stand and how to appear in the right place at the right time.
Now the biggest problem of the first team is that the flow of the outside pass is not smooth, and the characteristics of the Chinese team's positional offense are more passes and more shots, which is similar to the Denver Nuggets.
But Gan Guoyang, who played seven games against the Nuggets in the playoffs, has quite a knack for blocking this offensive tactic, and he keeps Yang Jun inside and doesn't come out, while he sweeps and harasses the first team's passes on the perimeter.
However, Gan Guoyang is alone after all, and it is impossible for him to prevent the five people of the Chinese team, and Liu Jianli still got a chance to break through on the right side.
"Yang Jun protects the basket!" Gan Guoyang watched Liu Jianli break through inward with the ball and shouted.
"Beep!" Referee Lu Changxin's whistle blew, Liu Jianjian collided with Yang Jun under the basket, and the experienced Liu Jianjian made a foul on Yang Jun.
"Don't press forward, don't press! Steady, interference-oriented, don't think about capping. Gan Guoyang stepped forward and patted Yang Jun on the shoulder and said to him, Gan Guoyang has fully devoted himself to the training match, and the players of the second team are about the same age as him, and Gan Guoyang's leadership temperament is undoubtedly revealed.
Yang Jun pursed his lips and nodded after listening, he found that playing with Gan Guoyang was "very tired", and he was always commanded by the commander, but as he played slowly, he found that what Gan Guoyang said made sense, and Gan Guoyang's opinions were helpful.
In fact, in the Chinese team, after Mu Tiezhu, there is no genuine inside big center, there was once a Qian Chenghai to guide the favorite inside good seedling Han Pengshan, but he died of a heart attack while squeezing the train, which is a big regret of Qian Lao.
Because of this, Yang Jun has no place in this Chinese team in terms of tactics, and he has not been taught the same type of veteran players as him in terms of experience, which has led to his very limited progress.
Gan Guoyang is about the same age as him, but he has extremely rich experience in the No. 5 position, and his experience comes from the teaching of NBA superstars, from the training in the university, and from the accumulation of professional leagues, which Yang Jun cannot get.
Liu Jianli stood on the free throw line and hit both free throws, rewriting the score to a team still trailing by 15 points, and the first half of the game had only been played for seven or eight minutes.
Menray, the team's interpreter, was on the sidelines flipping through the scoreboard, and he turned two pages on the first team's scoreboard, looking at the difference between the two sides, Menray couldn't help but shake his head.
Menlei walked to the side of Coach Qian Chenghai and said to Coach Qian Chenghai: "Coach Qian, just play half of this game, we also see the strength of NBA players, if we continue to play like this, I am afraid that the confidence of our players will be lost." ”
Menlei saw that Gan Guoyang had beaten the first team into slag with the second team alone, and he was a little worried.
"It's okay, let him take the fight, not only to let the people in the first team adapt to it, but also to let a few young people in the second team study hard, and I will let a few substitutes go up to practice later." What kind of confidence is not confident, we still have to play against a real NBA team in this training camp, if an NBA player can play us like this, then if it is a team, it will be fine? I can't sit in the well and watch the sky anymore, let Comrade Gan Guoyang teach them a good lesson. ”
Gan Guoyang really taught the Chinese men's basketball team a good lesson.
In the 40-minute practice match, Gan Guoyang took the second team to play the whole game, because no one did statistics, so I don't know how many points Gan Guoyang took and grabbed how many rebounds, but the final result was that the second team completely beat the first team with an absolute advantage in points.
And a lot of the first team's scoring came in the second half, with substitutes on the pitch, while the second team had five players playing the whole game.
In this case, Gan Guoyang has maintained abundant physical strength and high morale from beginning to end, whenever a team has a little momentum, Gan Guoyang will always use his personal play to suppress this momentum, and the difference between the two teams has always been maintained at more than 20 points.
The other players of the second team are also playing better and better, and they have a tacit understanding as they play, and they began to perform their duties under the command of Gan Guoyang.
Wang Fei showed extraordinary calmness and overall view, and in the second half, interim coach Gan Guoyang handed over the control of the attack to Wang Fei; Zhang Xuelei is extremely energetic and creative, and he is the most consistent point in the second team in the attack except for Gan Guoyang.
Their outstanding performance in the game also added a lot of weight to their ability to be selected for the national team and represent China in international competitions in the future.
In comparison, the performance of Min Lulei and Yang Jun is still a little worse, and it is understandable that they will not be able to gain a firm foothold in the national team in the future.
After the game, Gan Guoyang, who was drenched in sweat, looked very excited, he hadn't played so happily for a long time.
Although the strength of the opponent and his teammates are not strong, Gan Guoyang still enjoys playing, and he finds that it is really good to make his teammates better.
"Thank you, Comrade Gan Guoyang, haha, let our players feel the gap with the world's top level!" Coach Qian Chenghai stepped forward for the first time and held Gan Guoyang's hand tightly, just like a rural old man holding the hand of the People's Liberation Army.
"It's nothing, I think the Chinese team still has a lot of potential, and it can definitely go further in the future. And this game is also very happy, I haven't been so happy in a long time! Gan Guoyang shook hands with Qian Chenghai with one hand, scratched his head with the other hand and said with a smile.
After speaking, Gan Guoyang shook hands with the players of the Chinese team one by one, and at this time, the only trace of arrogance in their eyes had long been gone, and the only thing left was admiration and some fear.
The men's basketball team's training today ended here, Gan Guoyang and the men's basketball players took a shower and changed their clothes together, and the men's basketball players found that Gan Guoyang was actually really approachable, and everyone had a friendship after the game, so they all began to ask Gan Guoyang about the NBA.
And Gan Guoyang also learned from the men's basketball players that from tomorrow they will have a training camp here, and some NBA teams will come to practice with them.
They don't know the specific team, but I heard Lu Jinqing say that Michael Jordan's team will definitely come over, and he still wants to compete with Jordan when the time comes.
"Hehe, the current Jordan is not the Jordan of the '84 Olympics!" Gan Guoyang listened to Lu Jinqing's thoughts, smiled and said.
Jordan has become a top scorer in the NBA with an average of 28 points per game in just one season, but many players can't do it in their entire careers.
In the end, when Gan Guoyang finished taking a bath and was about to leave, he found that Coach Qian Chenghai seemed to have something to say to him, but he wanted to say something and stopped.
"Coach Qian, I will come back tomorrow, I also want to hone my skills in the training camp, and I want the team to ......go further next season," Gan Guoyang looked at Qian Chenghai and said.
"Oh...... I say...... I said Xiao Gan, ......" Qian Chenghai suddenly changed his name, no longer calling him Comrade Gan Guoyang, but changing to a more cordial "Xiao Gan".
Gan Guoyang knew that Coach Qian Chenghai must have something to say, so he waited for him quietly.
"Comrade Xiao Gan, you know, as the head coach of Chinese basketball, I have seen countless good seedlings in China, and that's pretty much it, but to be honest, no one can compare with you. The gap between them and you is not a little bit. Of course, I also know that you are not a player in the system, you studied in the United States, and it is not easy to get to where you are now...... But I heard that you still retain Chinese nationality......" Qian Chenghai said for a long time, praised Gan Guoyang, and talked about Gan Guoyang's nationality, Gan Guoyang guessed that he knew what Qian Chenghai's guidance meant.
"Coach Qian, I know what you mean, you definitely hope that I can win glory for the country, win more honors for the Chinese men's basketball team, and even promote the development of the men's basketball team. Actually, I have the same thoughts, so my nationality has not changed. However, the current environment does not allow it, and as you know, professional players are not allowed to participate in basketball tournaments and the Olympics. And I can't give up playing in the NBA, after all, this is the highest temple of basketball, and winning the highest honor here is my lifelong dream. ”
Gan Guoyang said euphemistically that the current situation means that it is impossible for Gan Guoyang to play for the Chinese team.
Qian Chenghai seemed to have known such an answer for a long time, so he didn't look disappointed at all, but smiled and said, "Oh, in fact, I also know what you said, but it's just ...... It's just a pity! Such a good talent! Haha, I hope the Basketball Association can change this rule in the future! Let the level of basketball play be higher! When the time comes, if you want, you can come to China to play for the national team, and I dare say that even the leaders of our country will welcome you! Hahaha~"
Coach Qian Chenghai's love for talent can also be understood by Gan Guoyang, and he also knows that by 1992, professional players will be able to participate in the Olympic Games.
"Okay, Director Qian, if one day professional players can participate in the Olympics, I will definitely return to my motherland and play for my country!"
After speaking, Gan Guoyang shook hands vigorously with Coach Qian Chenghai again, which was regarded as an oath between men.
Of course, Gan Guoyang didn't know that in order to fulfill this vow, he made Coach Qian Chenghai wait for a full ten years, and changed his career ten years later.
