Chapter 430: Everything Has a Cause
"I originally thought that the Portland Trail Blazers were already the strongest Trail Blazers at the start of the season, but I didn't expect that after the All-Star break, the game
At this stage of the season, the Trail Blazers can still be innovative in tactics and be able to exert such great power, which is really good
It's unimaginable. Don Patrick couldn't help but sigh as he watched the game gradually enter garbage time.
The tactics designed by the pioneers for Gan Guoyang in the high position are so simple, but they are so incomprehensible, under Adelman's arrangement, Gan Guo
Yang always only appears in the low position and the horn position, which seems to reduce Gan Guoyang's mobility, and is essentially the strongest of the team
Weapons are always placed where they pose the greatest threat to the other side, as if a cannon was placed on someone's doorstep.
Then, Adelman did not let Gan Guoyang respond in a high position, but played a small cooperation, Gan Guoyang did not have the same strategy as Sabonis
Wild, but with a small range of hand-to-hand coordination, he works very well with a couple of backcourt players, after all, Drexler, Potter and Pa
Kesen has been cooperating with Gan Guoyang for many years.
At the same time, when Gan Guoyang no longer goes to the flanks and no longer goes to the bottom line, it not only reduces the chance of being caught by the opponent and entering the defensive trap.
It also creates more offensive space for teammates, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Yes, from my intuition, this tactic will continue to flourish in the future, provided that there is a Gan Guo in the team
Yang is an inside player who can play inside and outside, I never thought his projection would be so good, I thought he used to shoot all those shots
Cast to play. In Bill Wharton's eyes, Gan Guoyang's past mid- and long-range jumpers were all "playful".
However, this was also the opinion of many basketball people at that time, who felt that shooting from the inside to the outside was just a tactical supplement and a kind of miracle
No team will design a specific strategy around the mid-to-long-range shooting ability of an interior player.
Adelman did it, and in fact, he did it with luck, when he and Bellman discussed the decision to let Gan Guoyang be promoted to a high position
, the starting point is to reduce the number of times Gan Guoyang is trapped, but later they gradually found that Gan Guoyang is both high and low
It can be a successful tactical initiation point, and it is extremely powerful.
……………………
After the game was not in suspense, it ended quickly, and the commentary cooperation between Don Patrick and Bill Wharton also came to an end
The crowd said goodbye, and after the camera was turned off, Patrick was also relieved, tonight's commentary should be very successful,
If Gan's performance on the court was shocking, then Bill Wharton's performance on the commentary bench was just as surprising.
After Patrick took off the headphones, he also shook hands and hugged Wharton cordially, saying that the cooperation was very pleasant, and Wharton also said
The job looks really good.
At this time, ESPN's president, Bill Rasmussen, also came to the broadcast room, shook hands with Bill Wharton, and asked
Bill Wharton's feelings, while also chatting with Don Patrick.
The three of them exchanged feelings in the studio, and Wharton then took his leave and left, at which point Don Patrick got in with Bill Russ
Mussen came up to him and asked, "Why did you let this big guy come over to explain the game?" His eloquence is indeed good, wonderful, like a joy
drama actors; But tonight, with him in the commentary, it almost became a 'Forrest Gump Tout', and almost all of our topics revolved
Gan, although his performance was indeed surprising. ”
Patrick also expressed some displeasure to Rasmussen in a small way, and Bill Wharton was always able to get the topic up in tonight's commentary
When it comes to Gan Guoyang, it just so happens that Gan Guoyang's performance is very good, so the commentary of this game has become "Gan Guoyang's topic."
Oral Show".
Rasmussen glanced at Patrick, the club's president who was sacked by the New England Whalers in 1978 and leaving the hockey league
He founded ESPN, and in the space of a decade, he used his adventurous spirit to break new ground in sports, and he is about to do so
Big scene.
Rasmussen said: "Patrick, there is a reason behind everything in this world, and Bill Wharton was once a pioneer of glory
, so it is understandable that he went to tout the banner of the current pioneer. With that, Rasmussen moved closer to Patrick
, whispered to him: "He was able to come here tonight to explain the game, it was recommended by Gan through a relationship, I think if I can."
, he will come here to work in the future. ”
After listening to Rasmussen's words, Patrick suddenly realized that Wharton was able to come to ESPN as a guest commentator recommended by Gan Guoyang
Yes, Patrick also knows that Gan Guoyang, a Chinese, now has a lot of energy in the American sports and entertainment world, so he recommends one
It is indeed not a big problem for the old-timers and old stars in the team to be guests.
After knowing this, Patrick also said that Wharton does have a very good talent for commentary, and his basketball knowledge, vision,
It's really not comparable to the average commentator, and if he can come to ESPN in the future, it will be an important help.
Rasmussen nodded as well, said hello to Patrick, and went back to his office.
As he walked along the road, Rasmussen thought to himself: "There is a reason behind everything in this world, but there is often more than one reason
, you don't want to think about why you are willing to recommend guests to us, we must accept it. ”
Of course, Patrick didn't know that when ESPN Development needed funds to sign a broadcast contract with the NBA the most, it was Gan Guoyang behind it.
Relying on his own financial resources and connections, he has contributed a lot to ESPN, and at the same time has become a small shareholder of ESPN, which is unknown to most people
Tao this thing.
Therefore, when Gan Guoyang proposed to let Bill Wharton be the guest commentator on ESPN, Rasmussen agreed without hesitation
Anders Rasmussen's promise is also the reason behind this, that is, there is a saying circulating in the sports agent world, "With."
You can't go wrong with being willing to go."
……………………
At this time, Gan Guoyang, who was far away on the west coast, of course would not know that his small recommendation would make him have one more on the TV station from now on
The reason why Gan Guoyang recommended Bill Wharton to ESPN is very simple, because he knew in later life that Wharton would do it at ESPN in the future
The guest narrator and will be a very good narrator.
But again, this is only one of the reasons, Gan Guoyang is not trying to simply repeat history, after Wharton retired in 1988, Gan Guo
Yang once found an opportunity to visit Wharton, and Wharton's condition after retiring from the army was beyond Gan Guoyang's expectations.
The joy of the 1986 and 1987 championships didn't last long, and Walton fell into depression and retired from the basket
Life on the ball seemed so bad to Wharton that he locked himself in his room all day and played some weird music to pass the time
, when he lived in Boston.
Gan Guoyang chatted with him for a long time, and learned that Wharton always had a sense of regret for the Trailblazers in his heart, and he regretted the past
His reckless behavior shattered the former big family of the Trail Blazers, you must know that in the 1978 season, the Trail Blazers achieved it before the first three months
The record is not far behind this year's Trail Blazers, but Walton's injury ruined everything, and then Wharton's request for a trade was ruined
of everything.
Gan Guoyang also loves the Trailblazers deeply, and he understands Wharton's feelings, so he will use his status as a shareholder to let ESPN help him
Give Wharton a chance to experience the commentators, Gan Guoyang believes that with Wharton's ability, he will soon be recognized by ESPN
and open up new fields in the field of basketball commentary.
And tactically, the Trailblazers have likewise opened up new territory.
After the game between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors, Warriors head coach Don Nelson said in his post-game press conference: "Trail Blazers
The tactics were astonishing, I didn't expect Adelman to have that talent, and of course, I was even more shocked by Gan's talent. Still, there is always one
Someday I'll find a way to deal with this tactic, and someday I will. ”
Don Nelson, a stubborn old man, has cultivated himself many years later with the same projection ability, if not stronger
tall, and then destroyed him with his own hands in the playoffs.
However, this great big man, after being tempered, will also exert the power of the tactic of blocking and dismantling in the high position to the extreme, and finally go
To the pinnacle of life.
