The Golden Age of Basketball

() (It's Friday, there will be a second update in the evening. Favorite, vote.)

Williams, whose shot was violated, stood on the free throw line, but he didn't know if the slap made him a little dizzy, and the first free throw missed.

Fortunately, the second goal was made steadily, and the Vikings still led by 9 points with 2:7.

When it was the Conqueror's turn to serve, they passed the ball across the half court with three passes and two leads, and began to invest in the half court attack.

The Conquistadors' composition is actually very strange. Their average height is very good, and the physical fitness of players at each position is very good, which leads to the blurring of their positions on the court.

When watching the last game, the Vikings players discovered that the Conqueror does not rely on point guards when organizing offense.

Each of their players has the ability to organize offenses with the ball. Although this ability is not necessarily very strong, singles with the ball are indeed their most common tactics-if singles can be called tactics.

This kind of team structure is actually very "vanguard" and "avant-garde", because the most popular team construction idea in the 21st century is five players with comprehensive functions and vague positions to form an all-around team.

However, the coach of the Conqueror is obviously not a forward-looking basketball pioneer of the era. The reason why he constructed such a tactical system is to make up for the Conqueror's shortcomings in outside shooting and inside singles. Without these two things, a team's tactics Almost half gone.

Therefore, in defense, the Conqueror adopts a violent defensive method, wandering on the verge of fouling, to attack the opponent's offensive momentum;

In terms of offense, they used their physical fitness and personal abilities to continuously single-play, grab rebounds, hit again, and grab again, typical of punching the master to death.

Sure enough, in this offense, the Conqueror players were like assaulters against a dynamite pack. With a pick-and-roll, they rushed in with a basketball.

The Vikings' players' single-defense ability is average, except for Gan Guoyang, who also quickly moved laterally to the three-second zone to supplement the defense.But this time Gan Guoyang made too much physical contact when blocking the opponent, and was called a foul by the referee, sending the opponent to the free throw line.

Both free throws were scored, and the Conqueror recovered two points, 9:4.

"Peter, pass the ball to me later." Gan Guoyang and Dipenbrook said after receiving a foul.From the beginning to now, he has not received the ball in the offense, and now he has decided to teach the Conqueror a lesson.

However, Gan Guoyang's failure to receive the ball in the opening game was not only due to Bellman's tactical arrangements, but also due to the Conqueror's stalker-style defense.

The conquerors did a lot of homework before the start of the game, the most important of which was how to deal with the Vikings' arrow figure-Gan Guoyang.

What they adopted was a simple and crude but very effective method - double-teaming.And before Gan Guoyang got the ball, he started double-teaming him.Rather than letting Gan Guoyang catch the ball, other people would play three to four.

So when Gan Guoyang wanted to attack at the basket, the fat center who was facing him and the opposing small forward were like two pieces of bread, sandwiching his piece of fat in the middle to form a sandwich.

Dipenbrook tried to lob the ball inside several times on the outside, but he gave up because the opponent's defense was too tight.

For Gan Guoyang, the opponent's defense is not just tight.One of the two men who surrounded him pushed desperately from the back, pushing his elbow against Gan Guoyang's waist from time to time;

Such defensive behavior will definitely be called a foul in a basketball game in the 21st century, especially in the NBA, where it cannot escape the eyes of referees and cameras.

But in the 80s, this was a very normal defensive method, and the referee naturally turned a blind eye to such a normal defense.

Gan Guoyang saw that he couldn't get the ball in his position, so he gave up the position, threw off the small forward who the opponent hated, and went to the high post to cover for Williams.

Relying on Gan Guoyang's high-quality screen, Williams got a good shot at the top of the arc. Dippenbrook passed the ball smoothly to Williams. Williams received the ball, took off, and shot.

"Boom!" Williams, who was in the most comfortable position to catch and shoot the ball, failed to make the ball. The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high.

Because Gan Guoyang mentioned the high position, he couldn't fight for the offensive rebounds, and Behrman didn't like the players to grab the offensive rebounds, but asked him to retreat quickly if he didn't make a shot.

However, the Conqueror's fast counterattack speed is not blocked. After their fat center grabs the rebound in the backcourt, they immediately pass the ball out.

Basketball is like hitting a wall. Every Conqueror player is like a wall. When the ball comes to their hands, it is like hitting a wall and bounces out all at once.

In this way, three passes and two leads, the ball soon passed halftime and came to the hands of the Conqueror strikers.

At this time, the Vikings have not been able to fully retreat, because no matter how fast a person runs, the ball does not fly as fast in the air.

Only the small point guard, Dippenbrook, was defending the basket, and the Conqueror's striker did not hesitate to hold the ball and force it.

Dippenbrook knew that even if he took off by himself, he would not be able to block the opponent, and he might get a foul.So he just stood still and waited for the opponent to hit him so that he could draw an offensive foul.

The bodies of the two touched each other, and Dippenbrock felt as if he had been hit by a motorcycle, and he fell backwards.

This is the legendary "flopping", which has become a magic weapon for players to defend in the 80s.

"Dipping" also requires a lot of courage. In addition to being hit hard by the opponent, you also have to fall "heavily" to the ground to show the referee your weak physique and the opponent's brutality.

But when Dippenbrook was thinking about how to use his superb acting skills, he found that his back seemed to have hit something. He squinted his eyes, only to find that a person jumped high in the air, and his leg just hit his back. .

It's Gan Guoyang!

He didn't give up this defense, and went back to the basket with all his strength.

Dippenbrook's presence delayed the opponent's attack, allowing Gan Guoyang to catch up. At the moment when the opponent took off for a layup, he was like a tiger, pounced on his "food" - the basketball.

The Conqueror's small forward was blocked by Diepenbrook, and his take-off was not sufficient, and his shot height was not high enough. As a result, the ball was firmly held down by another flying hand just as the ball was out of his hand.

"Crack!" There was a clear sound of slapping the ball, and the basketball was slapped far away and went straight to the Conqueror's bench.

As for the three people under the basket, one was bumped and rubbed, one was stopped and blocked, and one flew too high and there were people under it, so they all lost their balance and twisted together like a twist, and all fell to the ground.

But there was warm applause from the audience, and they were all hooked on Gan Guoyang's wonderful chasing cap.

After the first game the day before yesterday, many San Jose fans automatically became Vikings supporters.

Although the basket was turned on their backs, the three of them struggled to get up from the ground relying on the pull of their teammates.However, the referee did not blow the whistle, because although everyone fell down, no one fouled before the ball flew out.

Both Dipenbrook's block and Gan Guoyang's flying cap are good shots.

This ball also greatly boosted the morale of the Vikings, and someone on the bench has already started waving towels.

The Conquistadors continued to attack after serving from the bottom line, but when the Vikings fell down and fought against the Conquerors defensively, the Conquistadors felt a little helpless.

The Vikings, who used man-to-man defense in the opening game, switched back to their familiar two-three defense, and it shrank even more.

The Conquistadors, who have no outside shooting ability, can only guide the ball around from the outside, in a hurry, and can't find an offensive breakthrough.

Finally, their fat center moved up to the top of the arc to cover for the outside ball handlers.I saw the fat center like a bulldozer, pushing away the two Vikings guards on the line, creating opportunities for the players with the ball to break through.

The Conqueror's outside ball handler saw his team's big tractor coming to help, and decisively drilled into the three-second zone from the gap squeezed by the fat center.

While dribbling with his right hand to break through, he crossed his left elbow and savagely rushed inward.

However, the double-teaming on the line is only the first line of defense for the Vikings. How could Gan Guoyang, who is on the inside, allow his opponents to run wild in his back garden.

Because the Conqueror's outside shooting is not good, Gan Guoyang can rest on the inside in this game without going out to sweep around.

Facing the opponent who finally broke in, he naturally had to entertain him well.

"Bang!" A solid block knocked down the Conqueror's player who was trying to force a layup.Gan Guoyang grabbed the ball and won the ball without waiting for the opponent's other players to react.

"This is a fucking no-fly zone!" Gan Guoyang said coldly, and walked away, only giving a tall back to the opponent who fell on the ground.

The players of the Conquistadors gradually discovered that the Vikings were not afraid to make physical contact with them, no matter on the offensive or defensive end, although their physical fitness was worse than that of the Conquistadors.

The main reason is that Gan Guoyang played a leading role, dared to confront the Conqueror team head-on, and was not afraid of the opponent's strong physical confrontation.

When the first half was about to end, the Vikings still led the Conqueror by 36 points 25:11.The Conqueror's main means of equalization comes from the second scoring of offensive rebounds. This is a typical offensive rebound for the whole people.

On the contrary, the Vikings, as always, gave up rushing for offensive rebounds and retreated quickly.At the same time, pay attention to protecting the backcourt rebounds. Once you get the backcourt rebounds, you must launch a fast break if you have the opportunity.So the Vikings scored mainly from the fast break.

In terms of personal data, Gan Guoyang received special treatment. He was either double-teamed or even double-teamed, or fouled directly when he was shooting, and he was pulled down abruptly.

Gan Guoyang could only rely on free throws to score 6 points, without scoring in sports games.

But he grabbed 16 rebounds, five blocks and five assists in just 5 minutes in the half.

"If I focus on defense, then the best defensive player every year will be mine." This is what Gan Guoyang often said in the future.

But now, the Conquistadors called a timeout. They wanted to close the score before the end of the first half, preferably within ten points, so that they would have a better chance of coming back in the second half.

Bellman naturally asked the players to be careful of the Conqueror's counterattack in the last 2 minutes, and not to relax because the first half is coming to an end.

"Tighten your defenses! Don't spread your fucking thighs apart like a girl! They're all a bunch of savages who can't shoot, use your tight formation to kill them!" Playing against rough and brutal opponents, Behrman His rhetoric also became more brutal.

After the 2-minute tactics are arranged, the game will continue.Behrman held Gan Guoyang alone, and said to him: "Gan, try to increase your shots, and you scored 6 points in the halftime, is it you the fuck?"

The 6 points in the half should be the lowest record since Gan Guoyang played an official game-of course, the first half is not over yet.

Gan Guoyang shook off the towel draped over his shoulders, glanced at Behrman and said, "Two minutes is enough, enough for me to destroy them!"

After the timeout ended, players from both sides rejoined the game on the field, and the Conqueror team served and attacked.

For 18 minutes in the first half, the Conquistadors faced a shrinking Vikings defense because their outside shooting was so poor.But because of this, they conduct the ball on the outside very smoothly, with almost no mistakes.

Now in the last 3 minutes, facing the further shrinking defensive formation of the Vikings, the outside players of the Conqueror passed the ball on the outside to find the Vikings' flaws, trying to score one and narrow the point difference to 10 within minutes.

But because of this, they didn't expect that Gan Guoyang, who had been dormant in the three-second zone, would suddenly pounce and oppress the conqueror's outside transmission line!

For the first time in this game, the players of the Conqueror felt Gan Guoyang's strong half-court defensive oppression ability. They were caught off guard and naturally made a mistake, and the ball was intercepted by Gan Guoyang in the air.

But Gan Guoyang did not pass the ball to his teammates to start and complete the fast break as before. Instead, after getting the ball, he started dribbling from his own half and ran towards the conqueror's basket!

The players of the Conqueror team did not expect that the opponent's center would dribble from the backcourt and run all the way to the frontcourt. It was not until Gan Guoyang passed the middle circle that someone stepped forward to intercept Gan Guoyang's ball.

But Gan Guoyang's "street basketball practice" was not practiced in vain. He regarded these players who stepped forward to steal the ball as fire hydrants and telephone poles on the street, and bypassed them one by one.

Gan Guoyang's outstanding dribbling skills drew the audience's admiration. Even Behrman shook his head and said: "This guy always brings surprises to people."

When Gan Guoyang rushed to the basket with the ball, he was already like a heavy truck with brake failure, and nothing could stop him.

Two players from the Conqueror team who tried to use fouls to pull Gan Guoyang down were brought up by Gan Guoyang, who jumped with all his strength, and he flew into the air with two people hanging from his body, twisting his body in the air, crooked Throw the ball.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, and the Conqueror's players obviously fouled.But everyone on the field, including the audience, is focused on the shot.

I saw it circled the basket a few times, and finally fell into the net.

The sound of the basketball "swish" into the basket brought cheers that erupted in the stadium!The center steals a dragon in the backcourt, leads two opposing players to take off and score, causing a foul and an additional penalty!

If high school games had been televised in this day and age, it would have been one of the top ten shots in the tournament.

The Vikings team members also came up to give Gan Guoyang a high-five to celebrate. As for Behrman, he couldn't say anything except shaking his head.

Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and made a steady free throw. The score came to 39:25, and the Vikings widened the point difference to 14 points.

This ball was obviously a big blow to the morale of the conquerors. When they re-entered the offense, they obviously lacked focus and vitality.

In this way, they have nothing to do in front of the Vikings' zone defense, so they want to delay the time by passing the ball, at least to finish the first half of the game.

But Gan Guoyang will not give the conquerors a chance to procrastinate. He actively sweeps and blocks the perimeter, forcing the conquerors' outside players to quickly transfer the ball.

As a result, they made another mistake, and Dipenbrock intercepted the ball!

This time Gan Guoyang is no longer a one-stop defender, but transformed into a striker!He spread his long legs like an ostrich on the African grassland, and his raised hands were like the wings of an ostrich.

Dipenbrock is like a quick shooter. As soon as he gets the ball, he immediately makes a long pass, and the ball goes straight to Gan Guoyang like a bullet.Dippenbrock didn't even pause to observe, because his cooperation with Gan Guoyang was perfect.

When Gan Guoyang received the ball, he was already in the three-second zone, and a Conqueror player followed him.

Gan Guoyang deliberately slowed down, waiting for the defenders behind to catch up.

Just when he felt that the opponent was jumping and trying to block the shot, he was also jumping for a layup at the same time.

Gan Guoyang met the opponent in the air, when his crazy waist and abdomen training before the championship played a role.He made an obvious hover and dodge in the air, and adjusted his posture in the air.

Even if the opponent tried to pull him down in the air, it couldn't stop Gan Guoyang from scoring the ball!

"Beep beep!" The referee's whistle came again, but this time no one was paying attention to the basketball because it had already been sent to the basket.

Gan Guoyang's another fast break 2 plus 1!

Accompanied by the sound of the whistle, another wave of cheers shook the sky. The temperature of the entire venue seemed to rise with the screams and applause of the audience, and the stadium was boiling!

Everyone's attention was focused on Gan Guoyang, and no one noticed that the coach of the conquerors had already sat on the coach's bench with his forehead pressed and his eyes closed.

Gan Guoyang made another free throw. In just 1 minute, he scored 6 points in a row, instantly widening the gap between the two sides to 17 points!

The violent foul of the Conquerors not only did not stop Gan Guoyang's footsteps, but was beaten by the more ferocious Gan Guoyang, "losing his wife and breaking the army", which was both a foul and a loss of points.

After finishing the free throw, Gan Guoyang ran back to half court, looked at Behrman standing on the sidelines, and gave him an "ok" gesture.

After seeing it, Behrman stopped standing, but returned to the coach's bench, and sat down with a long sigh of relief.Thinking to myself: "it's-all-over (everything is over)!"
