The Golden Age of Basketball

() (The next chapter will zoom in again)

Yesterday should be the happiest day for Gan Guoyang.

Doing well on exams, leaving practice early, going to a football game and becoming a Palo Alto High School football hero.

Although yesterday's game was just a warm-up match, the 50-yard pass lore was staged at the end of the game, which is the most exciting scene in a football game.It is equivalent to 35 seconds and 13 minutes of the later McGrady.

After the game, many people recognized that this guy was not from the football team, but the Chinese Gan from the basketball team.This time Gan Guoyang became famous in Palo Alto High School.

But there is an old saying in China that goes, "Fortune comes with misfortune." When a person's luck is too good, he will naturally start to fall.

This Thursday, Gan Guoyang felt something was wrong when he woke up in the morning. He felt that there seemed to be some problems in his back.

In yesterday's game, he was first hugged and knocked down by the big black guy from Crystal Hot Springs Highland Middle School's front line, and then he was coaxed up by the pig teammates to come up with a small meaty bun. At that time, he felt that his back was a little bit crushed. swell.

Back in the dormitory at night, after Gan Guohui admired his eldest cousin, he showed him the condition of his back, and found that there was a slight bruise in one place.

Gan Guoyang felt that nothing was wrong, so he wiped it with some safflower oil, thinking that he would be fine the next day after sleeping at night.

As a result, after waking up today, I found that when I got up from the bed, my back hurt so much that I almost fell back on the bed again.

Now Gan Guoyang panicked, if he injured his back because of playing rugby, it would be over!He still remembers how McGrady was ruined by a back injury in later generations.

Later, Gan Guohui gave Gan Guoyang a little massage, and he felt his muscles relax a bit, and the pain was not so strong.

The whole day today, Gan Guoyang was worried about his back, even though he had already become a big star in school at this time.

No matter where he went, someone would greet him, and some girls even came to see him at the door of his class.

This is a treatment that Gan Guoyang has never enjoyed before. Even though he also played the savior in the warm-up match against McCloud High School last time, it was an away game after all.

And that game was far less thrilling than yesterday's rugby game.In addition, Gan Guoyang is still a temporary cameo, a temporary worker, which adds to the legendary color.

"Hey, Gan, do you know that some girls in our class started asking me for your phone number." said Dipenbrock, who was about to go to training with Gan Guoyang after school in the afternoon.

"Okay, Peter, I only have the phone number of Gan's restaurant. If they want to eat something delicious, they can call this number." Gan Guoyang is not in the mood to care about these "good things" at all. He is about to be called by various strangers today. Greeting and own back tortured to death.

Moreover, there is another thing that worries Gan Guoyang even more, that is, he will soon see Coach Behrman.

Gan Guoyang was sure that Behrman must have known about his going to play rugby yesterday—although it was only a dozen seconds, because the whole school knew about it.

Gan Guoyang never expected that such a "cruel" soul was hidden in the body of such an elegant gentleman as Bellman.He felt that when he came to the training hall today, he would definitely be sprayed heavily, and Bellman would not let it go until the soul of his spray came out of his body.

Sure enough, after Gan Guoyang arrived at the gymnasium tremblingly, Bellman was already waiting there with his arms akimbo, and all the other team members stayed away for fear of being affected by saliva.

Gan Guoyang walked up to Behrman consciously, mentally prepared to be scolded.

"Gan, you performed very well yesterday and won glory for Palo Alto High School. This game will definitely remain in the school history of Palo Alto High School."

When Bellman spoke, he didn't scold Gan Guoyang, but praised Gan Guoyang.

"Hold... I'm sorry Mr. Behrman, I shouldn't just participate in other competitions." Gan Guoyang was worried that this was the calm before the storm.

"This morning, coach Hawkins of the rugby team came to see me, hoping that you can join the rugby team at the same time." Bellman continued.

In American high schools, many sports geniuses are biathlon masters, especially with basketball and football, such as James and Iverson in later generations.There are also basketball and volleyball players like Budinger.

"No, Mr. Behrman, I just want to play basketball, and I can only play basketball. I won't join the football team." These words are Gan Guoyang's sincere words.After being beaten by Tarzan and flying trapeze yesterday, he decided he would never play the dangerous game of rugby again.

Moreover, an idea sprouted in Gan Guoyang's mind, that is, he had already set the hardness to 2004 in nbalive80, so he shouldn't be injured so easily, after all, the data is under the intensity of the nba.

Now that his back is abnormal, there are only two explanations. One is that he just suffered a simple bruise and he will be fine after a few days of rest; the other is that this hardiness data ability only works in basketball games!Once he ran off to play other sports, he would die!

Behrman nodded after hearing this, and continued: "Gan, since this is the case, from today onwards, you can only engage in two sports, one is basketball, and the other is fucking basketball!"

Behrman began to show his true colors. He was so focused on his players that he was not happy with the behavior of playing one and the other. He thought it was a great waste of talent.

So he would never allow players in his team to participate in other sports teams.

"If you dare play football someday, I'll put that fucking oval ball up your ass and you won't have to worry about constipation for the rest of your life! Do you understand?"

For Bellman's sudden change, Gan Guoyang felt relieved. This is the Bellman coach he is used to.

In this way, Gan Guoyang's heart settled down, and he continued to devote himself to day after day training.

However, he still has some discomfort in his back, especially when doing post-ups and shooting drills.Because he was injured on the right side of his back shoulder blade, once he made tentative back movements and shooting movements, he felt a sense of stiffness, which greatly affected his efficiency.

"Hey, Gan, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you playing football stupidly? Make yourself nervous and focus! What are you hesitating for?" Behrman saw that Gan Guoyang was always hesitant when he was making moves, I thought he rested for two days, and he felt a little uncomfortable after training.

After the training, Behrman found Gan Guoyang and asked, "What's the matter today Gan? You're not in a good state. I can see that you're hesitant to move. Is there something wrong with your body?"

"Uh, I'm fine, coach, I just rested for two days and my body is a little slack."

"Okay, as long as there is no problem, tomorrow's warm-up match will depend on you."

Bellman also didn't realize that Gan Guoyang may have suffered a back injury from playing football. After all, he only played for a dozen seconds yesterday and was still the quarterback responsible for passing the ball.

Gan Guoyang was cheated by his "temporary teammates", and tomorrow, he is likely to cheat his teammates of the basketball team.

Tomorrow Friday, McCloud High School will visit Palo Alto for a warm-up game, and they will avenge their last big loss at home.

Gan Guoyang knew that his opponent must be aggressive, but he injured his back again.He didn't dare to tell Coach Behrman the real situation, and decided to fight at home tomorrow.

In the evening, he asked Gan Guohui to give him a massage and put on some safflower oil.When sleeping, sleep on the left side of the body to prevent pressure on the right side of the back.

Waking up the next day, Gan Guoyang felt that his back felt much better, and there should be no problem.

In the afternoon, the basketball team members asked the teacher for leave, arrived at the arena ahead of schedule, and started warm-up activities.

Gan Guoyang tried to practice shooting on the court, and the problem didn't seem to be big.Today's game gave him a feeling of playing in the nba playoffs.After playing the away game and playing the home game, if two wins out of three games, win the home game and win the series!

In this way, he relied on this yy to relieve the discomfort in his back, while doing his movements carefully.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the school was over, and a large number of students poured into the gymnasium to watch the game.The auditorium has become a green wheat field.

The Warriors have also arrived at the arena and started warm-up activities on the court.

The basketball level of Palo Alto High School is not high, and it has not been able to participate in the secondary state championship for many years.However, the situation this year seems to be different because of the existence of Gan Guoyang.

Moreover, Gan Guoyang showed off on the rugby field yesterday, which naturally attracted more students to watch the game.

"Gan, this is the first time we have so many spectators from our school watching our game. I'm a little nervous." Dippenbrock said, looking at the stadium full of people.

"Don't make trouble, the game is about to start, it's useless for you to be nervous."

Both Gan Guoyang and Dippenbrook were replaced by Bellman into the starting lineup. At this time, both of them stood on the field and shook hands with the Warriors players.

The match is about to start, and after the last match, the two sides are considered acquaintances, and this match is bound to be more intense.

As the referee tossed the ball high, the game began.

As the starting center forward, Gan Guoyang leaped high, flicked the ball lightly with his hand, and moved the ball to his own players, winning the ball.The Vikings took the lead on the attack.

When scrambling for the ball, Gan Guoyang did not use his right hand, but used his left hand. He was still afraid that too many movements would affect his back.

But there's nothing wrong with his ass.

On the first attack, he followed the coach's instructions and went inside.The other players opened up to give Gan Guoyang space for singles.

The Vikings will use Gan Guoyang's strong point to open up the situation.

Gan Guoyang used his excellent positioning skills to easily occupy a good position near the three-second zone on the baseline, and Dippenbrook immediately lobbed the ball to him.

The Warriors obviously came prepared, knowing that the Vikings would definitely hit Gan Guoyang, so as soon as Gan Guoyang received the ball, No. 33 Antonio Davis immediately came to double-team.

Gan Guoyang did not hesitate to pass the ball, because Davis came from the upper line to double-team, so the side of the baseline was empty.

After receiving the ball, he made some adjustments, and immediately turned quickly towards the baseline. He has become more and more proficient at the turnaround jump shot technique taught to him by Bernard King!Shot, goal, first goal of the game!

The goal was accompanied by cheers from the audience and... discomfort from the back.

Gan Guoyang shook his arm, quickly ran back to his own half to defend, and threw himself into the defense.

Compared with the previous game, the McCloud Warriors still have few ways to attack.Because facing Gan Guoyang's ubiquitous outward expansion defense, the effect of both internal and external shots is very average.

Inward shots are bound to be delayed and interfered by Gan Guoyang, and the shooting rate is not high; for outside shots, if they miss, all the backcourt rebounds will be taken by Gan Guoyang alone. Without a second rebound, he can only rely on his touch.

In the Vikings' offense, Gan Guoyang was reducing the number of times he played inside singles, and began to use the opponent's double-teams to cooperate with inside and outside.

Behrman thought it was Gan Guoyang trying to mobilize the whole team to participate in the offense, although he felt that Gan Guoyang seemed a little too selfless.

Only Gan Guoyang knew that he did this because the discomfort in his back was getting stronger and stronger, and he even started to feel pain.And that pain intensifies with every shot.

In defense, he interferes with the opponent's shooting and grabs rebounds mainly with his left hand, trying to minimize the movement range of his right hand.

In the 8 minutes of the first half, Gan Guoyang grabbed an offensive rebound and scored the ball under the double-team of three people!At the same time cause the opponent foul, additional penalty.At this time the score has come to 18:8, the Vikings lead by 10 points, if the penalty is scored, it will be 11 points.

But Gan Guoyang didn't make a free throw, and he also shot an air-ball (three non-sticks)!A dead ball is formed.

The Warriors immediately called a timeout and rearranged their tactics. Their offense really couldn't start the situation.

And Behrman asked Gan Guoyang: "What's the matter, Gan, you cast a three-point shot?" He had already noticed that there seemed to be a problem with Gan Guoyang's right arm.

"No problem, I was bumped by the opponent during the layup just now, and my arm hurts a bit." It turned out that when Gan Guoyang forced a layup in the face of three defenses, he was hit by an opponent's player on the right back.

At that time, Gan Guoyang felt as if his back was hit by an electric shock, which made his muscles numb when he made a free throw, and he couldn't exert strength at all, so he threw an air-ball.

"Be careful, you are the backbone of the team inside."

"Okay, everyone's performance was good just now, we must continue to maintain it. But our offensive efficiency is still a bit low, and we need to be more determined in our outside shots! We have the advantage in this game, don't dawdle and delay the rhythm! And Gan, you also need to be more decisive in your offense, you don’t have to pass the ball all the time. Do you have any grudges against the ball? If you don’t let your opponent get the ball, you don’t want to get it yourself?”

"Let me emphasize again what we are going to do later, Viggis, you have to pay attention..."

After that, Gan Guoyang didn't listen to a word of Bellman's arrangement, because he felt that his back was getting more and more painful. Although the pain was tolerable, it was extremely uncomfortable, just like the soles of the feet were itchy. no.

The timeout is over and you are back on the field again.Gan Guoyang decided to concentrate on defense and try not to use his right hand. On the offensive end, he grabbed more offensive rebounds and handed over the goals to his teammates.

The small point guard of the Warriors just passed the half court, and suddenly accelerated, passed the slow Dipenbrook, and went straight to the inside from the right.

It seems that the Warriors have no good solution, they can only use continuous breakthroughs, in order to kill the Vikings inside and cause Gan Guoyang to foul.

How can Gan Guoyang be so easy to kill? He didn't stop in the three-second zone and wait for the rabbit. Instead, he went forward and followed closely against the small point guard.

The little point guard was blocked by Gan Guoyang, and his speed immediately dropped. When he wanted to force a layup, he found that he had no stamina. Just after taking off, Gan Guoyang slapped the ball with his left hand.

However, the ball was caught by No. 33 Davis who was inserted in the middle. After getting the ball, he immediately jumped up and wanted to dunk the basket with both hands.

Gan Guoyang didn't allow him to wreak havoc on his own basket. After he landed, he took off again and reached out to block the shot.

However, because he was closely following the smaller point guard in the previous defense, when he landed, he was facing Davis on the right back side.If he blocked the shot with his left hand, he would have to turn around again, but that would be too late and he would not be able to block the ball.

Gan Guoyang stretched out his right hand subconsciously, pressed hard in the air on the ball that Davis was holding with both hands, and pressed him down from the air.The ball was released, the Vikings got the ball and launched a fast break.

The gymnasium was boiling again, and Gan Guoyang won cheers for his two consecutive blocked shots.

Immediately afterwards, the Vikings made a three-line fast break, three-on-two in the frontcourt, three passes and two passes, and easily scored the ball, 20:8!

But at this time, there were no cheers in the gymnasium anymore, because everyone noticed that Gan Guoyang was standing alone under the hoop in the backcourt, with his left hand tightly on his back and his right arm hanging by his side. A look of pain appeared on the sweaty face.

Behrman saw that something was wrong, immediately called a timeout, rushed up to the field, hugged Gan Guoyang with his arms, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you, Gan?"

"Coach, I can't do it."
