The Golden Age of Basketball

() Bellman called a timeout. At this time, what he needs to do is not to change tactics. Judging from the previous rounds, although the Vikings are behind 0:8, there is no problem with the Vikings' tactical direction. In the mentality of the players.He wants to re-boost the morale of the team.

"Boys," Behrman calls the players when they need encouragement, "you're so relaxed, you're taking the game too easy. Everybody's sober, you don't even have a fucking state championship scored."

The over-relaxation before the game made the Vikings players a little confused by the Eagles. They didn't expect the Eagles to use this simple and quick way to score eight points in a row.In the previous games, the Vikings have always been known for their tough defense, trying to make every opponent score is full of difficulties.

To defend this kind of thing, skills, tactics and talents are relatively secondary, and the most important thing is attitude and momentum.With a positive attitude and a compelling aura, you can make your opponent feel uncomfortable and suppress the opponent's offensive posture.

Once there is no attitude and momentum, skills and tactics will appear pale and weak.

"Peter! Don't be afraid of the opponent's No. 20. Believe in yourself, walk according to your own rhythm, and don't always worry about your ball being intercepted. Others pay attention, respond more to Peter, and play more Gan this point. Williams continues to run. Position tactics, your running positions were good before."

"Everyone cheer up, you are not the defending champions, you are a bunch of fucking poor boys, you have nothing, so, fuck me up and fuck them!" Bellman encouraged his players loudly, I hope they can let go of their frivolity and pride, and go down to fight against powerful opponents.

"We need to make them understand who the hell owns this place. Palo Alto is not Oakland, here, we have the final say!"

As the core of the team, Gan Guoyang seldom motivates his teammates verbally, but relies more on his performance on the court to give support.And now, he must act like a leader.

"That's right, the competition has just started, we need to show them some color!"

"Beep!" The timeout expired, the game continued, and the Vikings served the frontcourt.

"Hey, yellow-skinned monkey, you are a piece of yellow shit." Before serving, Peyton walked up to Gan Guoyang and squirted at him.

"Then you're a fucking piece of mouse droppings!" The mouse droppings were black, and while fighting back, Gan Guoyang used his fingers to draw out the size of a small piece of mouse droppings, mocking Peyton's small stature.

Peyton's crooked mouth became even more crooked.

In the first confrontation between the two, Payton didn't take advantage of it. At this time, the Vikings kicked off, and he didn't have time to continue arguing with Gan Guoyang. He wanted to vent his grievances on Dippenbrook. come out.

After Dipenbrook received the ball, he organized an offense again. The Vikings' basic tactics have not changed. They still focus on the shooting guard's cover movement to drive the entire team's offense.

But Dippenbrook obviously still hasn't adapted to Payton's pressing defense. A few words of encouragement from a timeout will not make people's technical level rise suddenly, but at the very least, he can protect his own ball and not hold the ball with both hands. To the point of dead ball.

At the same time, the rest of the Vikings have stepped up to support Diepenbrook, and their small forward has been pulled to the left wing.Dippenbrook immediately sent the ball to the small forward, and then he himself cut from the right wing to the inside, taking away Payton's defense, resulting in a two-on-two situation on the left wing.

Gan Guoyang once again wants to be in the paint. Now the top priority of the Vikings is to score to stabilize the morale of the army, so Gan Guoyang is naturally the first choice.

However, because the No. 43 center was defending with all his strength, Gan Guoyang's position was not deep. After receiving the ball, he used his back to test the opponent's defense, and it seemed that there was no flaw.

At this time, the Eagles' attention was focused on Gan Guoyang. They all knew that this Chinese boy was the number one star of the Vikings, and now his fame had spread to the Oakland area.

However, after stagnating for a while, Gan Guoyang chose to pass the ball!

With a flick of his wrist, he hit the ground, and the ball passed diagonally from the left side of the three-second zone to the right. A player who came in from the right side caught the ball within the three-second zone. It was Dippenbrook!

It turned out that Dipenbrook cut in from the right wing after the ball was shot from the outside. At the same time, Wiggis on the strong side stepped up to cover him, allowing him to temporarily get rid of Payton's entanglement and successfully cut to the inside.

Gan Guoyang relied on his possession of the ball to attract the opponent's attention. This unexpected pass completely exposed the basket to Dipenbrook, an excellent opportunity to score easily.

However, Payton is not so easy to pass.

Wiggis's screen was not clean and tidy. Although Payton lost his best defensive position, he still forcibly bypassed the screen and followed Dippenbrook closely. At the same time, other players came to defend.

Dippenbrook did not hesitate. He knew that such an opportunity would be fleeting, and it would not be so easy to reorganize if he passed the ball again. At the moment of catching the ball, he bent his arms and exerted force, and the ball drew an arc, which was a small throw!

Gan Guoyang looked up at this slightly hasty throw. Judging from the arc of the ball, the strength of the ball was obviously weak, because at the moment Dipenbrook threw the ball, Payton made a non-foul interference from the back , which affected Dippenbrook's shot power.

Sure enough, the ball hit the front of the basket, and because it was a throw, it bounced in a very positive direction, right above the basket.

Just when the Eagles inside players were about to jump to grab a rebound, a huge figure enveloped them.

Gan Guoyang jumped high, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and poured the ball into the basket with both hands while falling!

This slam dunk was very light and crisp, and the rim didn't even vibrate. Gan Guoyang's hand just touched the rim.Before the opponent could react, he had already landed on the ground, turned around and ran away without looking back, at the same time raised his left hand high, and stretched out a finger, indicating that this was the first point scored by the Vikings!

This crisp and quick supplement finally broke out the stagnant gymnasium. Cheers and applause resounded instantly, and green waves surged in the auditorium. This was what they wanted to see.

This goal not only broke the embarrassment that the Vikings hadn't scored at the beginning, but also boosted the morale of the team. Gan Guoyang's domineering one-handed hand made all the players feel confident.

"This guy is really fast." It was the No. 43 center of the Eagles who spoke.

Just after Dippenbrook threw the shot, Gan Guoyang strode forward, blocked the No. 43 center with his left arm, occupied the front position under the basket, and made a successful dunk.

"Show him some color, Greg." Payton looked displeased. He didn't expect that this Chinese player could compete with him on the mouth, and his game skills are also very good. It seems that Well-deserved reputation.

"I'll do my best..." This Greg was clearly an honest man.His full name is Greg Foster. After 8 years, he will enter the nba with Payton, but in the professional league he is finally just a nobody.

"Everyone raise their spirits! It's time to kick their butts!" Gan Guoyang returned to the backcourt, clapping his hands while encouraging his teammates with words, and he himself did not squat under the basket this time, but stood at the free throw Near the line, it is obvious that he will start to oppress the opponent's outside line again.

The entire Vikings' defense has become a 2-1-2 formation. This formation has great restrictions on breakthroughs, because no matter which direction the breakthrough is made, it will be flanked by three players.

The best way to crack this defense is naturally to break through the ball and shoot from the outside at a 45-degree angle.At the same time, this formation is not good for the protection of backcourt rebounds, and it is easy to be rushed to the frontcourt. Therefore, this formation is very dependent on the "1", which is the inside core in the middle.

Therefore, when Payton broke inward with the ball, Gan Guoyang immediately stepped forward to defend and block the road, but in order to prevent him from splitting the ball, Gan Guoyang did not stick very tightly, but took two steps, ready to defend other areas at any time .

"Hey, do you know how to shoot? Do you know how to shoot? I heard that your shots are like mouse shit." Gan Guoyang launched a mental attack in addition to physical defense.According to the knowledge of his later generations, he knew that Payton's jump shot was not particularly good. Although he scored two goals in a row just now, they were all made without defense.

In comparison, Gan Guoyang is more afraid of Payton's points. In this case, he will spend more energy to fill in the gaps, and at the same time prevent the opponent from rushing to grab the rebound.

After all, Peyton is only a ninth-grade high school student. It can be seen from the trash talk that he has not practiced yet. He still needs a lot of experience, whether technical or psychological. Gan Guoyang still has a gap.

As soon as Gan Guoyang teased him with two words, Payton became angry, saying that he had scored two jump shots in a row, but the yellow-skinned monkey actually said that he couldn't make a jump shot.

Payton's breakthrough speed is not fast, but he has a very good grasp of the rhythm. He can change his breakthrough frequency according to the speed of the defenders to gain an advantage in time difference. This is a talent.

In addition, the players of the Vikings were afraid of his passing the ball, so they did not stick to the defense while following the defense, but were two or three steps away from him, so after taking a few steps inward slowly, Payton suddenly slammed With the last pull, the pace is adjusted, the ball is held in both hands, and the shot is directly pulled up!

In this regard, Greg Foster is indeed right. Gan Guoyang's reaction was really fast. Although he was also deceived by Payton's time difference, he quickly adjusted and saw Payton take off and shoot. Extend the long arms to cover.

Although Payton threw the ball before the big hand in front of him arrived, he was obviously disturbed by Gan Guoyang, and his shot was relatively hasty, and his hand shape was already unstable.

"Boom!" The ball hit the basket's neck and bounced to the right.

But the Eagles' offense didn't end here, because Gan Guoyang jumped to the outside to defend, so the Vikings were empty inside. The Eagles' small forward happened to be on the right wing, and rushed directly to the basketball that came out of the basket, relying on the impact of the run-up , took off this offensive rebound over Wiggis' head.

But just when he was hesitating whether to attack alone or pass the ball next, Williams, who was in charge of the up-line defense on the right, cut the ball neatly and knocked the ball out of his hand.

Seeing this, the Eagles small forward left and stretched out his hands to get the ball back, but Williams blocked him with his body, and then hugged the ball in his arms to the end, firmly controlling the ball!

Then Williams passed the ball to Dippenbrook who came forward to respond before the opponent rushed up, and the Vikings won the ball!

There was a burst of cheers in the gymnasium. Obviously, the attitude of the Vikings players desperately defending and grabbing the ball is what the audience wants to see. Behrman also nodded on the coach's bench. He knew that his teammates had gone from being too relaxed at the beginning. adjusted.

It was the turn of the Vikings to attack again. At this time, they were still 2:8 behind by six points, but the momentum had begun to slowly reverse.

"I'll show you later what a fucking shot is!" Gan Guoyang didn't let Payton go, and said something to him after halftime.

Soon the two sides fell into position. This time Gan Guoyang did not take a low position, but mentioned going up to cover for Dipenbrook, which is also the Vikings' regular tactics.Dippenbrook gradually began to adapt to Payton's defense, but he still had to spend a lot of energy against Payton's double harassment.

Now that Gan Guoyang stepped forward to support him, he understood and made a pick-and-roll with Gan Guoyang.

According to the usual tactical cooperation, only Gan Guoyang usually goes down in the pick-and-roll. If there is an opportunity inside, Dipenbrook will pass the ball directly to Gan Guoyang; if not, Dipenbrook will reorganize the offense.

This time Gan Guoyang did not go down after blocking, but pulled to the left side of the free throw line, which is an outward route.

Greg Foster had to switch to defend Dipenbrook, who broke through inward, while Payton was pushed behind by Gan Guoyang.

Seeing that Gan Guoyang stretched his hands forward in a posture of asking for the ball, Dippenbroek hit the ground with his crotch after the dismantling, and the ball passed through Greg's crotch and was firmly handed over to Gan Guoyang's hands.

After Gan Guoyang's 0:10 defeat to the cancer team, he rarely used mid-range and long-range jumpers in the game, but focused on scoring inside.But his touch is given by talent, and it has been revealed since he first came into contact with basketball.

After receiving the ball, there was nothing in front of Gan Guoyang, because no one thought that the center of this team would shoot from this distance.In the 80s, it was still very rare to shoot from the inside to the outside.And Payton is behind Gan Guoyang's ass.

In this way, Gan Guoyang hit a jumper with his hand while the other Eagles players were watching! 4:8!

"Did you see it? This is a fucking jump shot!" After making the shot, Gan Guoyang didn't forget Payton's words behind the "lesson", and then patted his ass and left.

With Gan Guoyang's two goals and a successful defense, the Vikings finally began to slowly reverse their momentum, and for high school teams, momentum is more important than skills and tactics.

However, the Eagles are not a team for impetuosity.Although Payton is only in the ninth grade, with his future NBA superstar ceiling and years of street training, he is also a master who is getting more and more courageous.Facing Gan Guoyang's sharp counterattack, he must also give the most powerful counterattack.

Sure enough, after Gan Guoyang made this mid-range shot, the Eagles did not mess up, but quickly served the ball. Payton quickly advanced halfway after receiving the ball.At this time, the Vikings players have not yet fully fallen into position defense.

The Eagles' small forward, a tall, breezy jumper with curly hair, took advantage of the Vikings' unsteady footing and managed to get around the basket through Greg Foster's screen.Payton deserves to be the super point guard of the future. When he arrives at the ball, a beautiful pass is inserted into the heart of the Vikings like an arrow.

No matter how fast Gan Guoyang reacted, he couldn't get every ball in place. Although he had tried his best to defend, the opponent's small forward still easily scored a layup after receiving the ball, 4:10.

The Eagles chased the Vikings and once again opened the point difference to six points.

"When I was playing ball on the street, you were still playing in the mud in your fucking pants, go back and wipe your snot off!" Payton, after passing a good ball, would naturally not show mercy, even though Gan Guoyang was old Older than him, but he mocked Gan Guoyang like an old fritter.

Payton has indeed been playing in the courts in the slums very early. He has not only developed his skills and talkative skills, but also cultivated a character that is not stingy and fearless.

But Gan Guoyang grew up alone in an orphanage in later generations, but his temper was stubborn like a cow, although after merging with the present life, he became much calmer with his father.But once the heart is aroused, he is also a savage who cannot be restrained by ten bulls.

"I hope you'll still have the strength to wipe your ass when I punch all the shit out of you later."

In the first half, a tug-of-war full of trash talk had begun.
