When a star enters the realm of "the-field", everything changes in their eyes on the field, and many things start to become familiar and straightforward.

The opponent's defensive routine, the opposing player's defensive position, the co-defensive intention of the assistant defender, and the running and moving of his teammates will form a coherent picture in the player's mind, and he will stand in the most suitable position in the attack, make free choices after receiving the ball, and his opponent will be difficult to stop him.

"The-field" is a kind of highest level of a player, it does not mean that a player can do whatever he wants, but it means that a player knows what can and cannot be done, when what is right to do, how to do what can be done to be the best and help the team win.

This is the product of the combination of basketball experience and personal ability, a player has entered such a realm, it means that he has his own new experience of basketball, for victory, and has his own winning philosophy.

For Gan Guoyang, it all came very suddenly, but it was natural, and before the match with the Sun began, he didn't realize that he would play so lightly and as he pleased.

Everyone seemed to be moving more than half a beat slower, and the holes in the Suns' defense were clear to him, and he felt that he could score points under the basket at any time if he wanted to.

After losing weight, Gan Guoyang looks more light and flexible than last season, which makes his hook hand and turn-over jumper look more graceful and stretched, and the game unconsciously enters Gan Guoyang's rhythm.

The Trail Blazers led the Suns by 25 points at halftime, and that difference lasted until the final minute of the game, when the Trail Blazers easily beat the Suns by 129-104, a 25-point advantage.

Gan Guoyang won the Player of the Match title with 29 points and 16 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was a horrific 14-of-15 shooting, and he only made one free throw in 27 minutes of the game, because he didn't have to kill opponents inside.

Subsequently, CBS reporters conducted a post-match interview with Gan Guoyang.

"Hello Gan, congratulations on winning the first game of the season, you can see that you played very easily, you only played 27 minutes, but you shot 90 percent, what makes you so good?" Even the reporters on the sidelines could feel that Gan Guoyang's performance on the field was really relaxed.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm lighter, right?" Gan Guoyang joked with reporters and continued: "I feel that everything has become easy, it is inseparable from my hard work in the summer, it is a very important season for me, I will give 120 percent to win everything I deserve, so I will show my form in every game." ”

Gan Guoyang rarely says big things in front of the media, but this time, Gan Guoyang's words are to tell everyone that he wants to win everything that should belong to him this season.

Back in the locker room, all the Trail Blazers players stepped forward to high-five Gan Guoyang, is this a ball? It is a kind of respect for the big brother of the team by the players.

When Gan Guoyang and Sabonis high-fived, Sabonis's eyes obviously had a hint of reverence, and he asked Gan Guoyang at the same time: "How did you do it?"

"If you've played hundreds of games in this league, you've got one or two games and you're going to play at that level." Gan Guoyang said with a smile, his words were not sarcastic, but encouraged Sabonis, who did not get a chance to play in this game.

Although the Trail Blazers won the game by a big win at home, and the game was easy for the Trail Blazers from the first quarter, Adelman stuck to the normal rotation and did not send Sabonis on the court in garbage time at the end.

In Adelman's words, such a match has little workout value for Sabonis.

I don't know what kind of game would be valuable for Sabonis, and if the score is scorching, will Adelman let Sabonis play?

Hell knows, but Adelman has a reason for doing this, and for a newcomer, if he is not a lottery show, then he will definitely have to sit on the cold bench for a while.

Gan Guoyang took a shower in the bathroom, while Culp had turned on the TV and VCR in the locker room and set up a large tactical whiteboard with a table of data from the Trail Blazers and Suns players for the game.

Gan Guoyang quickly finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, which was that everything was ready.

In the locker room, all the Trail Blazers players sat around the TV and the whiteboard, and the evening sports program had already begun on the TV, and since the Trail Blazers' games were often the last to start, when their game against the Suns was over, the entire NBA game day was basically over.

In the opening game, the defending champion Detroit Pistons hosted the Chicago Bulls, and President Stern also presented the players with championship rings at the appearance ceremony.

In the flash of the camera, Gan Guoyang caught a glimpse of Michael Jordan standing in the distance watching the Pistons, Gan Guoyang remembered the scene when the two trained together in the summer, Gan Guoyang knew that if he entered a kind of field himself, then Jordan must not be far from that kind of field.

Of course, Jordan's teammates are still much worse, and in the face of the Pistons, who are strong and strong, and their overall strength has reached the peak, Jordan has never been able to stand out from the encirclement.

107:94, although Jordan scored 28 points, 7 assists, 5 steals, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks of super comprehensive data, he still lost to the Pistons' multi-point blossoming and full play, and finally lost.

After years of honing and developing, the Detroit Pistons have become a superteam as strong as an army, and they are also the top target opponent for the Trail Blazers this season.

Other than the Boston Celtics beating the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers beating the Dallas Mavericks by three points, Gan has no interest in other teams.

"Alright, let's start watching the video." After Gan Guoyang finished speaking, Culp stuffed the video tape of the game into the video recorder, and then pasted the prepared player data on the tactical whiteboard.

This is a new change for the Trail Blazers this season, which is to spend half an hour after each game to see how other teams are playing, and then review the game and rate the players in various aspects.

This rating system, developed by Culp and Bellman, looks not only at the player's stats, but also at the team's performance when they are on the pitch, and the role that the player's stats play in the team as a whole.

Everything will be weighted to a reasonable value to evaluate a player's performance in the game.

"When Gan was on the court, we were able to outscore our opponents by 24 points and reduce their turnaround efficiency a lot. However, it can be seen from the video that the key point is that our strong attack disrupted the opponent's original arrangement, causing their attack and defense to fall into disorder. Personally, I think it's a lack of teamwork, so the Suns' strength is not as big as it seems. ”

Culp gives his opinion on the game based on the data and footage, and although the footage is not edited, the experienced Culp is always able to choose the right footage to back up his opinion.

Bellman also added: "We played a lot of energy offensively, but the defense didn't work as well as it should, and the Suns' low score was more due to their lack of skill, and too much pressure on the defensive end, which meant they didn't play to their full strength, so we won relatively easily." I don't think our defence has been tested enough. ”

As the team's defensive coach, Bellman's defensive ideas have become popular across the league in recent years, such as his fake defensive tactics, such as his defensive trap thinking, which has made the league gradually develop to a balanced offense and defense from the fast-paced game dominated by offense in the early and mid-eighties, and there is a tendency for defense to be stronger than offense.

Kalp then posted his rating of each player on the tactical whiteboard, while another staff member also posted the data of other games, this time it was Adelman's turn to speak, he had the staff quickly sorted out the battle report, he quickly analyzed the general situation of all the games, and at the same time summarized the performance of the Trail Blazers in this game, and put forward his opinions and requirements.

In the end, Adelman singled out the data of the Lakers and Pistons, posted them in the most eye-catching places, and told everyone that these two teams would be the Trail Blazers' worst enemies.

The half-hour post-game wrap-up is over, which will become a new routine for the Trail Blazers from the beginning of the season, whether they win or lose, they must sum up their experience, learn from their lessons, pay close attention to the movements of other teams, and keep the players always with a high sense of competition.

In this regard, the Trail Blazers in the 1989 season and the Trail Blazers in the 1986 season are completely different, and every employee and player on the team is contributing to the championship.

After the coach's analysis, Gan Guoyang stepped forward alone, singled out the data of the Chicago Bulls, carefully looked at Jordan's statistical performance, and then pinned the list to his locker cabinet door with a thumbtack.

Looking at the whole league, in terms of individual performance, except for Michael Jordan, no one is taken seriously by Gan Guoyang anymore.
