251. Twin stars
(To clarify, the flag bearer of the '84 Olympics is actually Wang Libin, and some readers have pointed out that what I wrote is wrong; Also, the real visit time of the Chinese team is from the end of September to October, a month's time, here it is advanced, and then the Muscatine delegation is postponed and brought together, the plot needs. )
Russell once said to Gan Guoyang, "The block is not only to block the opponent's shot, but to make the opponent dare not shoot."
This may be the highest level in defense, not only blocking the opponent's attack in the best confrontation, but also mentally giving the opponent a huge deterrent, which affects their offensive effect.
And when Gan Guoyang covered Song Tao's small throw, the hearts of the men's basketball players couldn't help but burst out, and a huge sense of oppression enveloped the hearts of the men's basketball players.
In fact, as men's basketball players who played against the American college team in 1984, they know what it means to play in the NBA in the United States, but Gan Guoyang's skin color is exactly the same as them, which still makes the boys of the men's basketball team not dare to believe that this guy who also has Asian blood is really strong enough to be so high.
As the saying goes, it's the mule that the horse pulls out to slip away, and this practice match has just slipped for a round, and it's already obvious who is the mule and who is the horse.
"Grab the ball!" Gan Guoyang shouted after covering Song Tao's throw, he shot the ball out of the three-point line this time, and Song Tao's movements were really slow in his eyes.
But his teammates are even slower, although Zhang Xuelei can play defenders, but his height of 2.06 meters makes him still a lot worse than Sun Fengwu in terms of reaction speed, Sun Fengwu took the first step on the outside to snatch the ball.
"Make up on the right! Make it up! Gan Guoyang pointed to the right side of the front court and shouted again, his two blocks just now did not recapture the player, and his own defensive formation was obviously scattered, Zhang Xuelei ran to the middle in order to grab the ball, and Yang Jun on the inside and Wang Fei on the outside were on the left, Min Lulei was staring at Sun Fengwu, and the right side was completely empty.
And Lu Jinqing, who had inexplicably received a big hat before, slipped from under the basket to outside the three-point line of the baseline, and Sun Fengwu quickly transferred the ball to Lu Jinqing after taking the ball.
Unlike other basketball training halls, the Knicks' training hall also draws two three-point lines, one with NBA rules and one with FIBA rules.
Lu Jinqing stood between the FIBA three-point line and the NBA three-point line, and shot three points from the empty baseline.
"Huh!" In the absence of interference, Lu Jinqing's three-point hit steadily, and the men's basketball team relied on a three-point to overtake by one point after being hit by Gan Guoyang's hat in a row.
"Pay attention to the marking, Yang Jun, you don't have to come out on the inside, hand it over to me in one step at the three-point line." In just one round, Gan Guoyang was already the leader of the second team, and this situation was the same as when he played the team training match at UCLA.
However, Coach Qian Chenghai is not the Famar of the year, although this old coach is not the world's top coach, but he is also a good coach who has cultivated several generations of basketball talents for China, so in just one round, he came to the conclusion: "My men's basketball player and Gan Guoyang are not of the same grade at all, at least three levels worse." ”
Director Qian's heart couldn't help but ripple, if such a player can play on behalf of the Chinese team, then the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will not improve a little.
"Yang Jun stands at the top of the arc and makes a wall for them! Pull it out on all sides! "At this time, the second team did not have any rules in attack, because they rarely practiced together with these young people, and more importantly, they were a little scared in the face of the main force of the first team.
And Gan Guoyang's roar made Min Lulei, who was in possession of the ball, sober up a little, he saw that Yang Jun had come up to make a single block, and decisively relied on Yang Jun's cover to get rid of Sun Fengwu.
However, Song Tao immediately changed his guard, and then Lu Jinqing also stepped forward to attack Min Lulei.
At that time, the Chinese men's basketball team focused on fast offense and pressing on defense, which is why China, which is not dominant in height and size, can also win in the face of some tall players from Eastern Europe.
Min Lulei immediately panicked when she faced the pinch attack from both sides, and the panicked performance changed from a one-handed dribble to a two-handed holding of the ball, and entered a dead ball state.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuelei hurriedly came up to answer, and Min Lulei hurriedly handed the ball to Zhang Xuelei.
At this time, Zhang Xuelei saw that there was already a person under the basket who was in a key position with his arms open, it was Gan Guoyang.
Zhang Xuelei felt that Gan Guoyang didn't make any effort when he stood there, and the whole person didn't move at all, but Wang Libin behind him seemed to have used all his strength to feed, and he was desperately pushing Gan Guoyang outward.
Zhang Xuelei paused slightly, and immediately passed the ball to Gan Guoyang.
Strength has always been a shortcoming of Chinese players in the basketball game, in fact, in terms of basic skills, these Chinese men's basketball players are good, and they are not much worse than those NCAA college students, but their physical conditions are indeed too far behind American players.
In addition to racial reasons, there is no advanced and scientific training program and method, and there is no supporting physical fitness management program, which is the biggest problem faced by Chinese players.
Gan Guoyang is of course an exception, aside from his "talent", the NBA at that time has begun to gradually carry out a more scientific and effective training system, it is from this time period that the physical fitness of NBA players will usher in a new outbreak, and Gan Guoyang's hard work is well known.
Facing Gan Guoyang, who can run rampant in the NBA, the veteran Wang Libin really can't say it, and he feels like he has been nailed to the floor by a wedge when Gan Guoyang is stuck in such a position.
After Gan Guoyang received the ball, the singles position was very good, and Wang Libin almost had no defensive threat to him.
He didn't use the hook hand that he was good at, but received the ball and quickly turned over and jumped straight away!
"Huh!" This 7-foot turn-over jumper hollows into the net! Wang Libin didn't even have time to jump.
"Beautiful~" Gan Guoyang squeezed his fists and cheered himself up, he didn't expect that the turn-over jump shot that he practiced for a few hours yesterday would come in handy today, and it felt quite good.
In fact, Gan Guoyang's turn-over shooting is basically no different from training, there is no resistance from defenders at all, there is no confrontation when shooting, and it is not uncommon to throw it.
Coach Qian Chenghai on the sidelines nodded when he saw it, although Gan Guoyang has not had to turn over and jump for many years, he still remembers his technical essentials very clearly, and the turning action is fast and smooth, all in one go.
"It's a beautiful shot, it's really similar to the No. 11 that used to be bullets." Coach Qian Chenghai remembered that when the Washington Bullets visited China in 1979, Elvin Hayes, the power forward of the Bullets, had outstanding turnaround and jumper skills, and the Chinese players at that time had nothing to do with him.
4:3, Gan Guoyang has easily scored 4 points at the beginning, and he also understands that if this game is over, it is estimated that he can score as many points as he wants.
"Retreat, retreat! Don't be stunned by Yang Jun! Gan Guoyang shouted again, he found that Yang Jun was really a little slow as a player, and when he thought of Ralph Sampson, who was the same height as Yang Jun, Gan Guoyang thought that people were indeed different.
Just when Gan Guoyang shouted to retreat, Sun Fengwu had already advanced quickly with the ball, and the first team played a quick counterattack.
This is also the core idea of Qian Chenghai's guidance and training of the Chinese team, which must be fast, which is somewhat similar to the Portland Trail Blazers.
But the Chinese team did not have Drexler, Sun Fengwu rushed to the three-second zone with the ball and felt that someone was following behind him, and as soon as he thought of Gan Guoyang's terrible blocking ability, he immediately passed the ball to the left to Liu Jianjian's hand.
When Liu Jianli took the ball and prepared to attack, the players of the second team basically retreated in place, and the rapid attack of the first team had been destroyed.
"Don't be afraid! I'm afraid of being covered, what kind of ball do you play! Qian Chenghai looked at this pass, and finally couldn't help but roar.
Song Tao and Wang Libin have already followed from behind, and Sun Fengwu can choose to go up by himself or hand it to the inside player who follows, which is a good opportunity for a quick offensive layup.
But because of Gan Guoyang's existence, this ball has become a positional attack, and the success rate of the attack will definitely drop a lot.
Sun Fengwu ran from the inside to the periphery to re-receive the ball at this time, and Liu Jianli passed the ball back to Sun Fengwu, who reorganized the attack.
Another major offensive guiding ideology of the Chinese team at that time was to focus on shooting, relying on cover to run out of the vacant position in the positional offense, and the players on the outside had to have the ability to quickly catch the ball and shoot.
This time it was Lu Jinqing again, he was still on the right side, relying on Song Tao's cover to find a gap, Sun Fengwu did not move this time, and directly passed the ball diagonally to Lu Jinqing, and Lu Jinqing jumped at 45 degrees on the right side.
But this time, Gan Guoyang's big hand covered it again.
Gan Guoyang's strong movement ability made his defense very strong, Lu Jinqing didn't expect Gan Guoyang's inside line to pounce on the defense, and the shooting speed was significantly accelerated, and the fast head was naturally affected.
"Phew!" The ball didn't go in, it hit the basket and popped out.
Gan Guoyang was like a vacuum cleaner at this time, and he received the ball in his arms again, and he didn't expect that the ball just jumped to his side.
"Run, run!" Gan Guoyang shouted again, the players of the second team are always slow in his eyes.
Fortunately, the second team has also been trained by Qian Lao after all, and knows the importance of fast attack, Zhang Xuelei also has a little winger awareness, Gan Guoyang just shouted, he has already rushed towards the front.
Gan Guoyang's trebuchet was already ready, looking at Zhang Xuelei's position, he threw the ball to the front court with one hand like throwing a discus.
Zhang Xuelei turned around while running, and found that the basketball flying in the air flew towards him in a graceful arc, and with one hand, the ball flew to his hand, and everything was as if it was calculated.
"Bang!" Zhang Xuelei dunked vigorously!
"Good shot!" Coach Qian Chenghai couldn't help shouting again, he didn't expect Gan Guoyang to pass the ball so well in addition to his excellent offense and defense.
"It's similar to that Humpty Dumpty of the Bullet Team! This Gan Guoyang, won't it be a bit of a combination of those two insiders! Coach Qian Chenghai remembered another inside lineman of the Bullets team, Weiseld who was wearing No. 41 and was only 2 meters tall.
Unseld's offense feels mediocre, but he has a subtle passing technique, especially this kind of long pass across the half, and the bullet has a small half of the fast attack is initiated by Unseld's long pass.
It's no wonder that Director Qian will sigh that Gan Guoyang simply merged this pair of once dominant NBA interior combinations into himself.
