The Golden Age of Basketball

() Gan Guoyang stood so stupidly on the public balcony, but the erotic images from peeping in his mind could not be lingered.

As a person who came from an era of extremely developed media and a fully open mind, this kind of thing is nothing shameless to Gan Guoyang.

The omnipotent Internet has not yet been popularized at this time. As Gan Guoyang, who has experienced the magic of the Internet, it is still easy to watch things that are not suitable for the public to watch.

Slowly, the more you see it, the less strange it will become.

However, Gan Guoyang's thinking is a combination of two generations, with experience and insights beyond his age, but his body is actually 18 years old, just the age of youthful vigor.Moreover, the feeling of peeping through the crack of the door is completely different from watching it with a computer.

Therefore, on the balcony, Gan Guoyang took deep breaths repeatedly, thinking about some things about basketball and learning, and finally suppressed the idea of ​​running to take a look in his mind, and at the same time cooled down the heat in his stomach.

Even so, Gan Guoyang always felt that faint groans could still be heard in his ears. He didn't know if it was the sound coming from the room or an auditory hallucination in his own head.

About 10 minutes later, Gan Guoyang saw that the number of people downstairs began to increase. It was all parents who brought their luggage and electrical appliances and sent their children to the dormitory.

At this moment, the door of his dormitory opened, and the couple who stayed in the dormitory for most of the day without closing the door also came out of the dormitory.

The man was wearing a white thin T-shirt at this time, leaning on the door, revealing his strong arms, his chest was also very broad and strong, and he looked very handsome from a distance, just like Marlon Prynne in "The Dockers" Spend.

The woman hugged the man's neck and was still kissing each other. The long tied-up hair was let down again at this time, and it was scattered on the red and pink horizontal striped long-sleeved shirt she was wearing.

Looking at the back of the girl with hair, Gan Guoyang seemed to be able to see through the clothes the concave and convex curves inside, as well as the snow-white buttocks hugged by the jeans.

The two lingered in front of the door for a while before the blonde turned around and said goodbye to the man.

When the girl passed the stairs, Gan Guoyang could see clearly that she was a typical American sweet girl, with big eyes, high nose bridge, and sexy thick lips.The round face has some baby fat, but when matched with her plump and round figure, it is indeed full of femininity.

When she was going downstairs, she seemed to catch a glimpse of Gan Guoyang from the corner of her eyes, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, probably because she was taken aback by Gan Guoyang's height and complexion.

Gan Guoyang felt that he seemed to be scrutinized by this woman from top to bottom in an instant, and then she seemed to give Gan Guoyang a small eyebrow, and disappeared at the stairs.

After experiencing this heart-pounding and glamorous accident, the following things seemed to be uneventful.

The guy who had sex with women in the dormitory during the day was called Pruss Chalmers, and he was Forrest Gump's new roommate. He was also a sports student receiving a sports scholarship, but he was a swimmer.

There was no obstacle for the two of them to get along. Chalmers was not interested in Gan Guoyang's racial identity at all. The only thing he was interested in was women.

Gan Guoyang knows that those who practice sports are generally strong and vigorous. For example, when he was in the Palo Alto Vikings, Wiggis and Williams liked to discuss women's issues the most on weekdays, and used se Love magazines communicate in private.

For Gan Guoyang, he doesn't like to read these books and magazines, not because he is high-minded, but because these things are really weak and he is not interested.

But two big boys are together, this way is really the best way to break the barrier.

Because Chalmers is a native of Los Angeles, he came to the school ahead of time, bought all the things in the dormitory, and of course did some favorite things along the way.

In fact, there is not much difference between college freshmen in the United States and China. In addition to not having military training, they also have to report to the student advisor, attend the opening ceremony, accept invitations from clubs, and so on.

Gan Guoyang doesn't care much about these things. What he cares most about is the basketball team.

The specific course arrangement will not officially start until the next week, while the recruiting and training of the sports team will start in advance on the afternoon of the first day of school.

As a mentally strong Gan Guoyang, who was regarded as a star player in high school, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous on the way to the gymnasium alone.

After all, this is UCLA, a giant in the history of American college basketball, a prestigious school with a tradition of super centers, and an invincible team that has won seven consecutive championships.

When Gan Guoyang thought of joining such a team, he was excited, but more apprehensive.

Unlike Palo Alto High School, the UCLA University basketball team's main game field and training field are separated, and they have a dedicated training hall.

Walking on the huge and beautiful campus of UCLA, Gan Guoyang looked at the basketball training hall not far away, and felt that he didn't even realize that it was a gymnasium when he came here for the first time in summer.

From the appearance, red brick and powder walls, large triangular roof, sixteen large glass windows, and arc-shaped holes, this gymnasium looks like a big memorial hall at all.

Anyway, in Gan Guoyang's view, those old buildings in the United States look like churches or memorial halls, and he gradually got used to them.

When he walked to the side of the gymnasium, he seemed to be the only one nearby. Could it be that he came too early?

But when he walked to the gate, he heard the sound of slapping basketballs and sneakers rubbing against the floor in the gymnasium, and knew that there might be old players playing and training inside.

Gan Guoyang hadn't heard such a familiar voice for a while, and he couldn't help feeling very cordial.So he took a deep breath and stepped up the steps into the gymnasium.

"Hello!"

"Pass the ball, pass the ball, hurry up! Don't stick to the ball, move for me, move!"

"Replenish the defense, Jackson, your speed is too slow! Make up the defense in time!"

"Protect the rebound, protect the rebound, Wright! Watch your position!"

"Hello?"

After Gan Guoyang entered the gymnasium, he saw a group of people doing a half-time three-on-three confrontation training. Next to him was a black man in a light yellow shirt who was commanding loudly. He should be the team's head coach.

Gan Guoyang walked not far behind the head coach and said "Hello" many times, but the coach turned a deaf ear and continued to direct the players to train loudly.

And none of the players on the field cared that a new big man had come to the stadium, and they were still playing like a raging fire.

Gan Guoyang felt very upset right now, this was the first day of school, anyway, it was an important day for the team to welcome new players and replenish fresh blood, but the coach was still here to practice confrontation for the old players, to the newcomers The players ignored it.

"Hello, Mr. Coach, I'm Sunny Gump, and I'm here to report today." Regardless of politeness, Gan Guoyang walked up to the black coach and said to him.

"Take your position, pull the two sides apart as much as possible, pull away, the inside speed must be fast, it's you Foster!...I know, wait for a while." The black coach obviously knew that Gan Guoyang was coming, and waited for Gan Guoyang to come to him Talking to him, he just squinted his eyes, continued to direct the training on the field, and then told Gan Guoyang to let him wait a while.

As soon as he arrived at the team, Gan Guoyang had a bad nose, the coach ignored him, and the old players concentrated on the game, so he had no choice but to sit down on the bench beside the court, watching the seniors play while waiting for other new players arrival.

Since the old group of senior players, including Mark Eaton, have all graduated, there are only 6 old players left in UCLA.

Looking at their confrontation on the court, Gan Guoyang found that college basketball is really different from high school. Even in a three-on-three game, there are a lot of running positions, air cuts, and blocking positions.

The transfer speed of the ball is also quite fast, and basically no one sticks to the ball, which is very different from street ball.

Moreover, judging from their running and jumping abilities, their physical fitness is quite good. After all, those who can enter a college basketball team like UCLA are all stars in the team in high school.

About 10 minutes later, the other new players also arrived at the gym.

They also received the same treatment as Gan Guoyang. They were treated coldly, ignored, and sent to the bench to be spectators.

In addition to Gan Guoyang, there are 5 other people, so with Gan Guoyang, there are six in total, and together with the old players, a 12-man team is formed.

A few newcomers sit together, you don’t know me and I don’t know you, but because of the common identity and entering the school in the same year, they quickly get along well.

Coupled with the fact that the coach left a few people aside in such a non-salty way, Gan Guoyang wondered if this was a UCLA tradition?Put the newcomers aside and let them get in touch and communicate by themselves.

Gan Guoyang is considered a celebrity in the California high school basketball circle, and he was also a star player who led the team to the finals of the second-tier league. He is also a yellow race, so the other five people all know him.

It's a pity that Gan Guoyang doesn't know any of the other people, and except for Knight's people, the other four are not high school graduates from the second-tier league.

"Gan, it's so fucking amazing that you can beat the Sacramento Dragons. When our school played against them, they were no opponents at all." The high school that Knight was in was in the Sacramento area.

"You mean the team that 'Lightning' Johnson was on? That guy was really great, but unfortunately he missed the free throw in the end and I got the lore."

"I know I know, it's almost becoming a legend, I heard you cast some spell on his free throws, and then he missed two free throws!"

"That's right, I did say something, but it's a secret, and it probably won't be effective next time." Gan Guoyang said pretending to be mysterious, and the phrase "wooden floors don't conduct electricity" was just a flash of his inspiration That's all.

Although the others were not high school players in the second-tier league, they had all heard of Gan Guoyang, and a few of them chatted on the bench.

"You guys are so bored, don't you know how to find a basketball to practice? Instead, you're talking endlessly like those gossips!"

At this time, the voice of the black coach no longer yelled at the old players who were fighting on the field, but turned to the six new players sitting on the bench.

The six people immediately shut their mouths and stood up from the stools at the same time. It seemed that the training on the field was over, and the coach called everyone to gather in the middle of the field.

Twelve people stood on the field, and Gan Guoyang found that he was no longer the tallest one. There was an old player in the team wearing the No. 55 jersey. His height seemed to be 7 feet. Gan Guoyang could only reach his eyes.

"Today is the first day of school and the first day of training for the basketball team. There are no flowers, no applause, no fans, no cheerleaders, just you players. Maybe you will think this is UCLA, why is the basketball team like this? Why didn't anyone come to give us a welcome party? Come and introduce us to the glorious history of UCLA? Then let me tell you, no, not at all. The history of UCLA is all hung on that wall." The black coach said, pointing The wall behind the basket.

Gan Guoyang looked down his hand and saw a large blue flag hanging on the wall, embroidered on it was the year when ucla won the ncaa championship nine times from 1964 to 1975, including seven consecutive championships.

"This is the history of UCLA, and he is in front of you. If you think you can make history, then I'm sorry, I think you are in the wrong place, all you can do is to continue the glory of UCLA!" The coach said like a speech Home like, inspiring the hearts of these new players.

Gan Guoyang didn't take this seriously. History is used to create and change. As a traveler, he has not witnessed the real change of historical events so far. Now, at UCLA, he may be able to truly change history.

Because UCLA has never won the NCAA championship since 1975. They only entered the finals in the defending season of 1976, but lost the defending battle.

And in this year's 1981-1982 season, they didn't even make it to the top 48 in the United States (at that time, there were only 48 places in the ncaa national competition).

The team has entered the valley, and now is the time to throw away the burden of history, boldly pioneer and create new glories.

Gan Guoyang was thinking of a completely different tone from the coach, and he was still fantasizing about the scene where he led the team to win the NCAA championship. At that time, he would be the third super center in UCLA history after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wharton!

"I hope that when I speak in the future, the people below can listen carefully, especially you, Huangpiboy. I'm not telling a joke, so I hope you don't show an overly happy look on your face."

Only then did Gan Guoyang realize that the coach had already walked in front of him. This black man with a long face who looked like Brother Octopus looked up at Gan Guoyang with a serious face.

Obviously, when he was speaking, he saw Gan Guoyang as if he had won the lottery, with the corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes shining, and he didn't know what else to think about.

"I'm sorry, Coach, I..."

"My name is Larry Farmer, and I know your name is Gan, a Palo Alto High School player who almost won the California Division II championship. But you remember, in basketball, almost is a lot worse !"

Coach Farmer's words were correct, but Gan Guoyang was a little unhappy to be teaching politics on the first day.

Although Bellman used to teach Gan Guoyang a lesson, and even made his speech even worse, Gan Guoyang could hear that it contained Bellman's ardent hope for Gan Guoyang.

However, the coach's words were obviously thorny, as if he wanted to give Gan Guoyang a blow.

"Yes, I understand!" Gan Guoyang had no choice but to respond to Coach Farmer with a straight face.

"Okay everyone, I believe we don't need to do this boring stuff of self-introduction. Basketball players should get to know their friends and enemies on the court. So, today we will play a match between old and new, let everyone Come and get to know each other!"
