The Golden Age of Basketball

(Sent on time at seven o'clock, I don't know why it didn't come out)

"Beep! The Western All-Star team is timed out!" The referee blew the timeout whistle when the fourth quarter of the All-Star Game was about to end, and Ramsey called a timeout.

At this time, the Western All-Stars did not fall behind. Instead, they led by 12 points. As long as the Eastern All-Stars didn't go crazy in the last 3 minutes, everyone walked and played, and this entertainment game ended like this.

But Ramsey couldn't stand Gan Guoyang's clumsy performance on the court when he sat on the bench.

In the 7 minutes of playing time in the first half, Gan Guoyang checked all the statistics of points, backboards, blocks, and assists. In the second half, he also got free throws, steals, and offensive rebounds, and even missed a three-pointer.

And at the end of the fourth quarter, he started to make turnovers and fouls.

He first sent Lambiel to the free throw line with a thug foul, and at the same time gave Lambiel a hard slap in the arm.

Immediately after taking off the rebound, a long pass directly smashed the ball onto the backboard, and the ball reached the Eastern All-Star player, which was considered a turnover.

The Eastern All-Star team also took this opportunity to narrow the point difference between the two sides to 12 points. There was originally a 15-point gap between the two sides. [

For Gan Guoyang, a moth who specializes in sabotage and makes contributions, Ramsey, as his head coach, decisively called a timeout and pushed Gan Guoyang to the bench.

And Gan Guoyang is also the so-called, anyway, he is enough, played 15 minutes, scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 foul, 1 turnover, anyway, it can be counted on the table He came over all the data, it can really be said that the merits and virtues have been completed, and the desire.

What made Gan Guoyang even more satisfied was Ralph Sampson's performance. His 29 minutes of playing time was second only to Magic Johnson, and he scored 14 points and 9 rebounds on 22 of 10 shots.

In the last 3 minutes, he scored two more points. In the end, when the score was fixed at 140:129 and the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars, Sampson became the player with the highest score in the Western Conference.

Although Magic Johnson's 21 points, 15 assists and 5 rebounds are equally dazzling, according to convention, the All-Star Game MVP award will be given to the player with the highest scoring average per game on the winning team.

"I announce that the All-Star Game MVP of this All-Star Game is awarded to Ralph Sampson from the Houston Rockets! You are the star of the stars!"

When David Stern handed the trophy to Sampson and said the famous "you-re-the-str-mong-the-strs" at the same time, the audience burst into the loudest applause .

Gan Guoyang felt relieved. He wanted to say that he didn't let the All-Star Game mvp change hands. It shouldn't be a problem to change the slam dunk champion.

In this regard, the 1985 All-Star Game came to an end at the Mountain People Dome in Indianapolis. This All-Star Game should be said to have been held very successfully.

First of all, the location of the All-Star Game was chosen very well. Although Indianapolis is not a big city like Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago, the basketball atmosphere here is indeed one of the best in the United States.

Therefore, whether it is the All-Star Weekend or the All-Star Game, they have received strong support and welcome from local fans. Fans who participated in various activities and watched the game packed the stadium, which reflects the nb Good audience base.

Moreover, the venue for the All-Star Game this time is the superstar football stadium, which is larger than ordinary basketball stadiums and has a huge number of spectators. This also created a precedent that the NB All-Star Game does not have to be held in a basketball stadium.

Secondly, this All-Star Game is also a symbol of the transition between the old and the new in nb. Three rookies in 1984 were selected, and the rookies in 1983 won the MVP of the All-Star Game and the Slam Dunk Championship. The hope of a generational player leading the trend of the nb era.

Of course, Gan Guoyang's behavior of "shame" collecting comprehensive data in the All-Star Game is bound to become an indelible "stain" in his career, and will be "spoiled" by fans of later generations.

Finally, this All-Star Game also satisfied the stars and the new president of the league, David Stern.David Steinberg Jeffrey Osborne [

The two benchmark figures in the league, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, both felt that this All-Star was much more interesting than last year's Denver All-Star.

"Last year in Denver, the show they chose was really chatty, and this year Jeffrey Osborne's rb rap made me completely hgh." Magic Johnson said in an interview after the star game, when the league invited David Steinberg came to perform a comedy one-man show, and this year Stern recruited rb singer Osborne, whom all black players like.

"I really like the kind of warm family-like gatherings, which are much better than those big scenes." Larry Bird also gave this All-Star Game a positive evaluation, he doesn't like those large and noisy banquets , and this year brought the family to the buffet in a relatively small restaurant, so that all players found a feeling of home.

These changes are of course all due to the new president, Stern. He hadn’t completely taken over the league during last year’s All-Star Game, so when he watched Steinberg perform a one-man show about “artificial insemination” on the stage, while he But when the league's well-known devout Christian, the Mavericks owner Donald Carter, was sitting on the table, Stern almost hid under the chair in shame.

So this time, Stern is fully responsible for the Indianapolis All-Star Game, from the All-Star Game process to the napkin decoration of the trail banquet. "Fantasy" feast, and achieved unexpected good results.

As for Gan Guoyang, being able to help his good friend Drexler win the slam dunk title made up for the regrets in history, and at the same time, he did not take away Sampson's All-Star Game mvp, and he also completed a small goal. It couldn't have been a better ending.

After all the games were over, all the players, the bosses and staff of each team held a big prty together, and then went back to their respective homes on the 11th to find their mothers.

For the fans, the All-Star Game is a feast of entertainment. For the stars, the All-Star Game is a big basketball show. For the teams in the league, the All-Star Game is a regular season. watershed.

Once the moment of relaxation and entertainment like the All-Star Game is over, it means that the entire league has entered the final fight before the playoffs.

First of all, within a week after the All-Star Game, the league's trade deadline will arrive, and this is also the last chance for all teams to strengthen their lineup through trades.

Strong teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Trail Blazers, etc. naturally stand still, maintain their current lineup, and prepare for the playoffs with all their strength.

The Cavaliers and Pacers are basically broken, and it doesn't matter whether they are traded or not. Even if there is a trade, it is all about preparing for the future and hoarding high-quality draft picks as much as possible.

Only those teams on the edge of the playoffs want to add more weight to the playoffs through transactions, and the idea and possibility of making the team soar through transactions are not even ruled out.

However, in general, there were no eye-catching big moves in the nb trading market before and after the All-Star Game in 1985. They were all small tricks of tinkering, so everyone still focused their energy on preparing for the playoffs.

After Gan Guoyang returned to Portland, he began to clean up his mood and devote himself to the team's training.

Coach Ramsey has not forgotten the "three assists" agreement, and Gan Guoyang also knows that Ramsey, the stubborn old man, has always kept his word. Press onto the bench.

Even if the team's owner Weinberg or general manager Inman "intervenes" at that time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to shake Ramsey's belief.

Three assists does not seem like a great number. As long as you pass a ball to your teammate in the game, and then the teammate throws the ball into the basket, it is considered an assist.

This season, Gan Guoyang's highest assists in a single game is 6. It was a game against the Spurs. In that game, he was made very uncomfortable by Gilmore. 6 assists.

However, his average assists per game this season is only a pitiful 12. In several games, his assist data is 0. No matter how he passes, his teammates either don't shoot or his teammates don't make a shot.

Gan Guoyang was also very puzzled. His passing skills were not bad, and the timing of the pass should be good. Anyway, he just threw it to anyone who was free, but his assist data was still so poor.

On this point, he specifically asked Valentine, the team's assist king, and his good friend Drexler, who is very good at assisting the ball, and the answer he got was to practice more, which is basically the same as saying nothing. .

But Ramsey added one more sentence to his advice, "observe more". After listening, Gan Guoyang wanted to throw all these guys out.

"Could it be said that passing is really so difficult to practice? Can't my talent be stimulated?" Gan Guoyang thought, why can't his pass talent be developed.

It's just that when he saw Olajuwon's 13 assists per game, he felt better. It seems that even a talented guy like Olajuwon wants to achieve something in his passing ability , It will not work without the polishing of time.

But Ramsey just wants Gan Guoyang to show an average of 3 assists per game immediately. Isn't this counterproductive?

In fact, Ramsey has already seen that Gan Guoyang's passing skills are absolutely excellent, but Gan Guoyang still lacks awareness and a lack of a big picture.

Ramsey believes that Gan Guoyang still stays in the game of "controlling violence with violence" in high school, and you win with a stick.

Therefore, he wants to force Gan Guoyang, to force him to calm down and carefully observe how a team's offense unfolds.

Soon, Gan Guoyang's first study and experiment subject came after the All-Star Game—the Boston Celtics who came all the way from the East Coast.
