The Golden Age of Basketball

() The game at the Baker Seaside Stadium made Gan Guoyang famous in the first battle of the three.After that, the reputation of "Guns and Roses" began to gradually spread on the court.

However, in addition to their magical debut, they are known to everyone, and another important reason is that all three of them are Chinese.The Chinese in the United States have always been regarded as representatives of well-developed minds and simple limbs, and basically have nothing to do with sports.All kinds of sports venues are dominated by blacks and whites, and the basketball court is even more "dark."

The appearance of these three yellow skins has undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, but in fact there is still a gap between their strength and some other wild ball teams.

Going home after the game that day, Gan Guoyang was so sore that he could barely get out of bed the next day, and his previous routine of going to the Union Square bullfight every morning was left behind.

But playing bullfights in a simple venue like Union Square can no longer satisfy the three of them, and the seaside course has become their new choice.

"Hey! Keep an eye on him! Keep an eye on him! Don't relax!"

"Don't focus on the ball! Watch people and people!"

"Follow him! Follow him!"

"Fuck him!"

The sound of players' command and communication continued to be heard on the court.

"Swipe!" The voice of the ball hollowing into the net interrupted the previous shouting.

"Yeah! I won! Cousin, your shots are getting more and more accurate!" It was Fatty Gan Guohui's voice. It seemed that they had won another challenge.

"I feel pretty good today, much better than yesterday, and I won a game yesterday." Gan Guoyang is quite satisfied with his performance.

The "Guns N' Roses" have been playing a challenge game at this venue for more than a week.Overall, their performance is getting better and better.

Chen Xing is no longer just playing soy sauce with Lao Hei as before, but has become the main ball handler of the Guns N' Roses team. He has improved in dribbling and passing, and is a good commander.

However, Gan Guohui's body fat still hasn't been reduced, but he looks much more energetic.The lore shot in the first game gave him great confidence. He was no longer afraid to play against blacks, but dared to confront and make moves. He was the rebounder of the Guns and Roses trio.

Although Gan Guoyang is the tallest, he has an unparalleled shooting touch. His hit rate is getting more and more stable when he catches the ball.This also made him the number one scorer and number one star in Guns N' Roses.

However, Gan Guoyang became a little worried, because he found that he seemed to be relying more and more on jump shots, and his confrontation and dribbling breakthroughs did not make much progress, let alone his strong inside shots.

"Hey, hello! Can you play here?" At this moment, a questioning voice came from the side of the court.

Everyone turned their heads and saw three tall men walking in from outside the court, two black men and one white man.All three of them were wearing red vests and blue sports shorts, with stockings and Converse shoes on their feet, giving people a very formal and professional look.

"Wow, it's Pittman! How did you come here?" Jason, who seemed to know a lot, spoke up.

"I feel a little bored. I heard that there is an interesting team coming to this field, so let's take a look." It was the white man who spoke.In the 80s American street courts, whites were rare, because street courts were considered chaotic, dirty black venues, and racial discrimination was still serious at that time.

But the situation in San Francisco is much better than some cities on the east coast.The white man, who seemed to be the boss of the team, went on to say, "We want to come over and have fun, let's play?"

"Whoa!" Many people in the venue became excited. It seems that although the name of the "Cancer" team is strange, it must have a reputation.

"Yes, cancer. They played in Golden Gate Park, and they are a very good team. The reason why they are called cancer is because their defense is very strong, and they can torture opponents like cancerous tumors." Chen Xing recognized this team.

Golden Gate Park is a large green park located in the west side of San Francisco. There are also many courts there, where the best amateur basketball players in San Francisco gather.

"Hey everyone, I'm Pittman." The white players of the cancer team had already entered the field and greeted Gan Guoyang and the others.

"Hi, hello. I'm Gan."

"Recently, you are very popular in Binhai Stadium, and it has been spread to Golden Gate Park. Let's take a look, how about a good game?" Great point.

Gan Guoyang naturally accepted the opponent's challenge.

"Let's start!" Jason roared, and the game started.

Pittman, who stands at 6-foot-1 (1 meters) and is the point guard for the Cancer team, is seen hunched over, holding the ball like a civet and shuttling the half court.

At that time, the style of street basketball was still quite practical, unlike later on it became more and more fancy.In the 70s and [-]s, NBA superstars often went to play in Rock Park in New York, because many outstanding street players did not enter the NBA, and the level of street basketball was quite high.

Later, as the commercialization of the nba became more and more mature, the salaries of players became higher and higher, and talented players poured into the professional basketball world one after another, the legends on the streets could only exist in the dictation of the old people forever.

Pittman's dribbling is obviously influenced by Bob Cousy, fast and agile, and his passing also has Cousy's demeanor.

I saw him rushing to the basket, attracting double-teams from Gan Guohui and Chen Xing, but he flicked the ball behind him, which was a very sudden back pass!

The ball was in the hands of the big black man who cut inside, and he took a step after catching the ball, jumped high, and filled the frame with both hands!Score, 1:0.

Gan Guoyang didn't react at this time, because his attention was also attracted by Pittman.

The big black man is 6 feet 5 (1 meters) tall, and his legs are very long. Wearing blue shorts, he looks strong and powerful.

His slam dunk drew applause from the audience, and he looked at Gan Guoyang and shook his head, as if to say, "You can't."

Gan Guoyang let out a heavy breath, knowing that he was too careless, he only cared about watching the ball and not marking people.Next, he must keep an eye on this long leg.

Serving again, Pittman did not dribble in, but stood on the outside and dribbled slowly.Inside, Long Legs has already started a card battle with Gan Guoyang.

Long legs not only have long legs, but also long arms. He hugged Gan Guoyang away, blocked him behind, and then stuck his position firmly with his buttocks, and reached out for the ball.

Pittman saw that the long leg was stuck in position, and quickly passed the ball to him.After receiving the ball with long legs, with a heavy shoulder, Gan Guoyang was pushed away with a light bump, and he made an easy layup, 2:0!

At this time, Gan Guoyang didn't even touch the ball, and he seemed a little annoyed, because he found that no matter how hard he tried just now, he couldn't push his long legs away.Although the long legs don't look particularly strong, I didn't expect the strength to be quite good and very hard.

In this way, the cancer team used this kind of inside singles tactics to score five in a row, and Gan Guoyang had nothing to do.Even if Gan Guohui came up to pinch, there was no way to prevent the long legs from scoring.

"Hey, don't you guys have a decent insider?" Pittman's face showed a trace of disdain. Street basketball at that time was not a place for tricks, and scoring was the last word.

Gan Guoyang didn't say anything, he knew that his skills were inferior to others, and playing lip service would only make him more embarrassing.

Kicking off again, the Cancer team still used long-legged inside singles. It seemed that they wanted to use this tactic to keep playing and beat their opponents to death. This would be a devastating blow to a team's confidence.

The long legs got stuck again, but this time he felt that apart from Gan Guoyang's hand on his back, there was not much force coming from his back, so his position was easy and deep.

"It seems that this kid has given up." Long Legs felt that this yellow-skinned boy must have been beaten without confidence, so he simply lost his guard.

Pittman passed the ball in again. At this time, Gan Guoyang behind the long legs suddenly pulled the long legs with his hands, causing the long legs to tilt and lose their balance.

Then, he quickly squeezed from the side to the front, practicing defense around the front!

The ball just arrived in front of him, and Gan Guoyang flicked his right hand, destroying the pass.Chen Xing immediately rushed forward to snatch the ball, defended successfully, and switched offense and defense!

Finally successfully defended once, although Gan Guoyang made a little trick, but this is still very normal on the street.

"Fight well! We still have a chance!" Gan Guoyang encouraged the other two.They have played many challenge games, and this is not the first time they have come back, so they are still very confident.

"George, take good care of that kid." At this time, the Cancer team was about to show their defensive strength.

This George is the No.3 member of the cancer team. He is slightly shorter than Longlegs, 6 feet 4 (1 meters), but he looks stronger than Longlegs.With a broad body, thick arms, and strong thighs, he basically didn't matter in the previous offense, but now, it's time for him to play a role.

Guns and Roses still used their best tactics, Gan Guoyang ran, Gan Guohui covered, Chen Xing looked for opportunities to break through or pass the ball to Gan Guoyang to shoot.

At this time, Gan Guoyang had already been closely watched by George.

Chen Xing found that it was difficult to pass the ball to Gan Guoyang comfortably, so he had to wait for an opportunity to break through.But Pittman in front of him was not so easy to deal with, his height disadvantage made his vision very poor.

In the end, he had no choice but to hastily pass the ball to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang barely caught the ball, but he had no room to shoot, because George was already covered up, clinging to him like a dog skin plaster.

If you want to get rid of the dog-skin plaster defense, you have to dribble it away or push it away with strength. Unfortunately, Gan Guoyang is not good at both.

He used his body to protect the ball, trying to push George away with the strength of his back to gain space for dribbling or shooting, but he had no advantage in the confrontation. He couldn't even stand up to the long legs, let alone the stronger George.

Gan Guoyang had no choice but to pass the ball to Gan Guohui.Gan Guohui seized a gap and threw the ball, but unfortunately the ball bounced out of the frame and the rebound was caught by Long Legs.

This time, the Cancer team did not use long-legged singles anymore. Pittman and George made a simple pick-and-roll. Pittman made an excellent ground-hitting pass to George, who cut in, and George made a one-handed dunk! 6:0.

Next, the Cancer team scored two goals in a row, 8:0, and the Guns and Roses were beaten without temper.

"Keep another one!" Gan Guoyang did not give up, he still had a glimmer of hope for his hand.

"Bang!" Pittman's shot hit the hoop, Gan Guohui jumped up vigorously, grabbed the rebound before his long legs, and immediately passed it to Gan Guoyang.Gan Guoyang and Chen Xing made another mutual communication to complete the offensive and defensive transition.

At this time, Gan Guoyang got the ball at the most comfortable position at the top of the arc, but George hadn't posted it yet, so he bent his knees, took off, and shot without hesitation.

"Crack!" However, just as the ball left Gan Guoyang's fingers, he saw George jumping up high and slapped the ball with his palm, giving Gan Guoyang a solid block!

"Hey---" There were some boos from the sidelines. Obviously, as the Guns N' Roses playing at home, it's really embarrassing to play like this.And the audience is very realistic, cheering for a good fight, and booing for a bad fight.

"Hey, don't you know how to shoot?" George looked at Gan Guoyang, who was a little confused, and said, "Idiots only know how to shoot!"

The word "jellyfish! (soft egg)" echoed in Gan Guoyang's ears, jellyfish, is he really a jellyfish?

Can only shoot, no strength, afraid of confrontation, can't shoot when encountering a tough opponent; defense is missing, top defense is weak, and can't control rebounds.After thinking about it carefully, Gan Guoyang realized that all these shortcomings in himself would be labeled as "special to soft eggs".

10:0!In a game without suspense, Guns and Roses suffered a disastrous defeat without scoring a single goal.

Gan Guoyang stood in the field with his hips crossed, his head lowered, and a sense of powerlessness hit him.He had also lost games before, but this was the first time he felt real pain, and that kind of extreme unwillingness and sadness permeated his heart.

He knew that this was a real strength gap.

Gan Guoyang began to reflect on his style of play and his style of play.His shooting is really good, but he is also becoming more and more dependent on his own shooting.

More importantly, his jump shot has not reached the point of being invincible. Facing a strong defense, his disadvantages in strength confrontation can be seen at a glance, and he can't even get a shot. How can he shoot the ball in?

Moreover, he also found that he was actually afraid of confrontation, afraid of fighting those old blacks.Since there are easier ways to score goals, why not use them?So he became more and more drifting, and he became less and less willing to go inside.

Although Gan Guoyang is the player with the highest Guns and Roses, it is Gan Guohui who grabs rebounds inside and picks up leaks to make up defenses. Compared with Gan Guoyang, he is more like a pitcher, an immature pitcher.

But Gan Guoyang doesn't want to be a pitcher, and the player he designed in the nbalive game is not a pitcher, but a center forward!An insider!

What he is doing now is far from what he imagined.

"Cousin, let's go, next time we win!" Gan Guohui also came up to comfort Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang felt his nose a little sour, "It's okay, I'll get back after this incident."

The three of them left the field with their heads down, unwilling to do so. After that, they did not participate in the rest of the challenge. They just watched from the sidelines, watching the cancer team kill the teams in the Binhai Stadium one by one.

At this time, Gan Guoyang was thinking about his own basketball path in the future. He had decided not to rely on his own shooting, but to really devote himself to the confrontation and be a center to support the team and fight inside!

"A center forward must die inside!" Gan Guoyang said.After ri, this sentence also became the driving force for one inside player after another to keep moving forward.
