The Golden Age of Basketball

The TV station is constantly showing the highlights of the Bulls Jordan and the Blazers Gan Guoyang in the past games, Jordan's dunk, Gan Guoyang's hook, both of them seem to be in the middle of no one's land in the highlights, but the audience in front of the TV does not understand these There is no interest in the highlights, and everyone is anxiously waiting for the start of the game.

At this time, thousands of miles away in Beijing, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse Building 17, there is a special film and television hall. In the era when Chinese television was not yet popular and the television market was not open, state leaders could watch movies and televisions from various countries here. .

At this time, it was the morning, and the film and television hall was specially connected to satellite signals, and you could watch TV programs from all over the world. The TV set in the film and television hall was a domestically produced Panda TV produced in 1985, and it was China's first color TV. 18-inch TV, it was a great thing to have such a TV back then.

Now, this TV is not only broadcasting, but also foreign TV programs. On the small picture tube screen, the figures of Jordan and Gan Guoyang flashed alternately, the audience cheered, the coach roared, and the cheerleaders jumped for joy. displayed on the TV screen.

"Turn down the sound of Mori..." In the film and television hall, a voice with a strong Sichuan accent came. It seems that some people think the TV is too loud. The live broadcast of the NBA is indeed a bit noisy. The sound in the State Guest House is undoubtedly amplified a lot, and of course the NBA scene is ten times noisier than the TV.

The guard standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and turned down the sound of the TV set. The sound in the film and television hall instantly became much quieter, and it was not so strenuous for people to speak.

"It's too slow, you tell me to turn it on, it's all turned over, and it's still recording, Americans don't talk about ordinary ideas." The old man sitting on the big sofa in the middle took a sip With a cigarette in his hand, he said to the translator sitting next to him.

The translator immediately broke out in sweat, and said: "At eight o'clock, the TV station will start broadcasting the program. The game will really start, and it may take a while. Americans are more troublesome to play, and they have to warm up, sing the national anthem, and enter the ceremony. , after a set, it will take more than ten minutes."

"Hahaha, I know, I know, I'm in the pot video, I'm a hot little baby, every time I sing pot, I keep my mouth shut, next time we are in Silicon Valley, we have to make comments, we have to be in the venue Put a silicon pot with medium silicon in it, so that the little doll can open his mouth! Hahaha!" After hearing what the old man said, the translator knew that he was joking again, and he just liked to joke, but the translator also knew that at this time How great the pressure was on his shoulders and in his heart.

The international environment is changing, and domestic turmoil is also beginning to appear. Last year, in 1988, China's domestic retail price index created the highest record since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Social problems emerge in endlessly.

By 1989, these old diseases that had accumulated since 1984 showed no signs of being cured, but were on the contrary becoming more and more serious. In particular, the extreme turmoil in Eastern Europe disturbed the domestic instability factors in China, and the economic What would happen if the dilemma turned into a political upheaval, no one knows.

As this old man who has experienced countless ups and downs and three ups and downs, his willpower is as strong as steel. Whether it is a national crisis or a critical situation, he has extraordinary courage to deal with it all. He still has leisure time to come to the film and television hall of the State Guesthouse to watch the nba game in the morning.

As early as a few years ago, David Stern sent the videotapes of the Trail Blazers games to China Central Television. Because there was a Chinese player playing in the NBA, these videotapes were also taken seriously. In several basketball-loving countries It was circulated among the leaders that Gan Guoyang's superb football skills were unanimously praised by all the leaders. At that time, there was even a general who thought that the player should be exchanged with several American spies in the way of "spy exchange for prisoners" to play for China .

Of course, Gan Guoyang is not a prisoner. His special basketball experience also makes the Chinese sports department have no right to interfere with his freedom. Moreover, FIBA ​​currently prohibits NBA players from participating in international competitions. It is useless for Gan Guoyang to return to China.

Anyway, Gan Guoyang has a group of fans at the level of national leaders. At the same time, with the broadcast of a small number of video tapes on CCTV, this player wearing the No. 11 jersey has also aroused great interest from the domestic public. But at that time, the social atmosphere was not open, and the public opinion was not developed, otherwise the word groupie would have appeared a few years earlier.

"The game has begun!" At this moment, the translator saw that the live broadcast had finally switched to the Chicago United Center. The players gathered in the center of the court, and the game was finally about to start.

At this time, the old man straightened his body, raised his legs, lit a cigarette again, and began to watch the upcoming game in the most comfortable posture.

........................

"Both jump balls, now the No. 1 pick of the Blazers' jump ball has changed from Gan to Sabonis. For the Bulls, the Blazers' inside will be their big trouble, but tonight the Blazers' inside will also be a big problem. Facing a huge challenge, their leading shooting guard Drexler missed the game due to injury, and in his place was Brands, but Brands didn't play well in the last game."

"But there is also good news for the Blazers. Their veteran Jim Paxson has returned from injury. He should be able to get a chance to play in this game to make up for the Blazers' weak back line."

Tonight and Dick - Stockton together to explain is the retired NBA superstar Rick - Barry, tonight the Bulls and Trail Blazers players are unavoidable Barry's poisonous tongue.

"Good game started! Sabonis and Dave - Corzine scramble for the ball, Sabonis touches the ball first, the Blazers have the ball!"

Sabonis put the ball into the hands of Terry Porter, the offense started from the Blazers, and the game officially began.

However, the Blazers lost possession in less than ten seconds. Porter passed the ball to Sabonis in the high post. Sabonis responded at the top of the arc. Catch the ball, and then can hold the ball to make a choice.

This is a commonly used tactical running position for the Blazers. The shooting guard, center, and power forward form a strong side on one side.

In the past, Gan Guoyang and Sabonis cooperated with Drexler. He was very sensitive and quick, but now it was replaced by Brans. It's Michael Jordan.

"Sabonis' pass was too short! Jordan steals the ball! Fast break, no one in front of him, and dunks." After stealing the ball, Jordan is a flying arrow, and no one can catch up with him. The Blazers I can only watch Jordan easily dunk and score the first point of the game.

But the Blazers' counterattack came very quickly. Cauchy served from the backcourt, and Porter took the ball from the center and drove straight to the basket. The Bulls' defense after the opening was very aggressive. Immediately he will be in the backcourt, but wants to press the Blazers in the frontcourt.

However, their frontcourt pressure was suddenly dissipated by Porter's rapid rush. As a result, the frontcourt press did not work. Porter made a clever ground pass. The ball passed through Grant's crotch and passed to Gan Guoyang who was following up on the left. Gan Guoyang dunked the ball with both hands after receiving the ball!

"The Blazers' counterattack came very fast, very fast. The Bulls wanted to form a press in the frontcourt to curb the speed of the Blazers passing the frontcourt, but they seemed to have miscalculated."

"Yes, they tried to destroy the Blazers' pass from the press, and the gap between their press defense was as wide as the Pacific Ocean. I don't know what Collins was thinking."

The head coach of the Bulls, Collins, was shot first. In fact, his idea was good. He knew that the Blazers' quick counterattack was very sharp. However, the Blazers' backcourt general Drexler was absent due to injury in this game. The heavy responsibility of operation was placed on Porter alone, so he wanted to give the Blazers a great pressure on the ball at the beginning, and strive to be the first to win.

Unexpectedly, Jordan, Pippen and Sam Vincent did not have a tacit understanding in the defense of the ball. They made mistakes in the timing of the matchup and flanking, which caused Porter to slip past. As a result, Gan Guoyang picked up a ball in the frontcourt. A missed dunk was successful.

"You're too slow, Scott! What's the use of you staring at Cauchy, he's a serve!" Jordan was not polite to Pippen. He only stared at Cauchy's serve, but ignored Porter. It's the people who really matter.

As a second-year rookie, Pippen's progress is still very rapid. Among them, Jordan's spurs on and off the court are indispensable. From a pure substitute in the first season to now becoming a stable starter, Pippen does not know that he has suffered from Jordan. How much scolding.

At the same time, Gan Guoyang was also criticizing Sabonis for his mistakes.

"Your pass is too soft. How can you pass such a ball when the opponent is entangled? Someone is pressing in front of you. Even if you sacrifice the accuracy of the pass, you have to pass it behind you. It is better to receive the ball than to be cut off." .”

Just now, Jordan's fast break was too fast, and the Blazers' counterattack was too fast. Now Gan Guoyang took the time to teach Sabonis a lesson. Of course, Sabonis's passing level is higher than Gan Guoyang's, but his NBA experience is insufficient. Ignored the level of the receiver and underestimated Jordan's speed.

Although Gan Guoyang's assists are unflattering, one thing is that Gan Guoyang's turnovers are extremely low among inside players. The quality of the ball is poorer, and it should not cause false accuracy.

In this way, Gan Guoyang and Jordan not only had a direct dialogue on the field, but also engaged in fierce competition in training partners.

But soon, the two guys will have no energy to teach others.
