The Golden Age of Basketball

()013-10-20

(Today is too busy, so there is only one update, I am really sorry~~)

As the game entered the second half of the first half, the tactics of the two sides began to gradually become chaotic, relying more on the players' personal abilities and tacit understanding to play.

This is the case in basketball games. Often in the opening stage, the players' physical strength and concentration are the most concentrated, and the coach's arrangements are also kept in mind, and they can follow the established tactics and play in a precise manner.

As the game progresses, the confrontation between the two sides will become more and more intense, and the situation on the court will become more and more complicated. At this time, the coach's opening tactics basically have no effect.

The two sides will start to follow familiar routines and adapt to the situation on the field.

If the team has a good point guard, then he will become the temporary head coach on the field during this period, directing the team's offense.

For example, Gonzaga's head guard Stockton.

UC changed to a zone 3-2 zone defense after the timeout, strengthened the zone oppression on the outside, and kept blocking Stockton's passing route, blocking the positions where Gonzaga players ran out.

As a result, Stockton stepped up his personal attack, relying on precise shooting and breakthrough sneak attacks from time to time to contain UC's defense and let them block others in vain.

For this reason, UC had to flank Stockton, but Stockton's excellent passing ability and wide vision allowed him to release the ball in time before the double-team formed, which made UC's defenders exhausted.

If the team doesn't have a point guard who can be an interim coach, but has a star with outstanding personal ability, or an arrow player who feels hot on the court, then give him the ball and he will solve the problem.

Like rookie Reggie Miller, who came off the bench after a timeout.

Facing Gonzaga's changeable and tenacious zone defense, UC's offense seemed helpless, but the scores of the two sides did not pull apart because Reggie Miller's mid-range shot was unstoppable.

45 feet at 20 degrees, 25 feet at the top of the arc, 18 feet at the bottom corner, and 20 feet at the corner.

His seemingly crappy shooting posture has become the most beautiful action in the eyes of home fans.

The c&s and forced jump shots one by one made Bellman's carefully arranged defense useless, and also ensured that UC's score would not be stretched too much.

This skinny newcomer, who played for the first time in an official game, became the most watched player in UC in 14 minutes. Some people even started shouting Miller's name collectively on the sidelines.

Judging from the scene, Gonzaga had an overall advantage in the first half, with more organized offense, more reasonable shots, better defensive effect, and suppressed UC's overall shooting percentage.

But from the point of view of the score, Gonzaga University only led by 5 points and ended the first half with 36:31.

Because Reggie Miller scored 14 points in halftime alone, accounting for almost half of the Bruins team's points; while for the Bulldogs, Stockton played with 10 points, 7 assists and 3 steals. Invigorated the team's offense and contained the opponent's No. [-] scorer well in defense.

If it weren't for Miller's sudden emergence and extraordinary performance, UC might have fallen behind by a large score in the first half.

According to Bellman's consistent thinking of coaching the team, once the lead is large, strangling tactics will be used to consume the opponent alive.

可是，带着一腔复仇热血的甘国阳，却在上半场就默默地打了15分钟的酱油，3投3中拿了6分8个篮板和2次盖帽。

All 3 shots were easy-balls after St. Stockton passed the ball. If Gan Guoyang is replaced by Gan Guohui, it is estimated that the ball can be scored in [-]% of the time.

The 8 rebounds are considered quite satisfactory, and the 2 blocked shots were all in the opening game. Afterwards, UC saw that he couldn't make a breakthrough, and if he did, he would be blocked by Gan Guoyang.

Because of Behrman's strict instructions, he must keep a close eye on UC's top scorer, power forward Fields, so Gan Guoyang has no way to devote all his energy to dealing with Reggie Miller. As a result, Miller, a rookie, has a good half of the game. .

"I think we should change our defensive strategy. Although our restrictions on other players are very good, the defense against Miller is really not enough! Mr. Behrman, we have already suffered a loss. Are we going to repeat the same mistakes? "During the intermission, Gan Guoyang complained in the locker room.

Gan Guoyang has always been so outspoken in the team, that is to say, a coach like Behrman who is familiar with Gan Guoyang, if he is replaced by another university coach, he must have objections to his pointing fingers.

"Okay Gan, I know you played very depressed in the first half and didn't have much chance to perform. This is my tactical arrangement. Don't worry, you have plenty of opportunities in the second half." Bellman explained.

In the pre-match arrangement meeting, Behrman asked Gan Guoyang to do basic work such as supplementary defense, screens, and blocking positions honestly, first adapt to the rhythm of the official game, and give him a chance to play in the second half.

From the moment Gan Guoyang stepped on the court, he felt that there was no problem at all. In the first half, he tried his best to suppress his performance**, earnestly completed the tasks assigned by the coach, created opportunities for his teammates, and contributed to the team. Contribute to the collective defense.

Now, after testing each other in the first half, Behrman finally decided to show his trump card, and completely crushed UC in the first half of the second half, ending the game early.

Gan Guoyang immediately calmed down after hearing Behrman's words, and began to listen carefully to Behrman's tactical arrangements for the second half.

Soon it was time for the halftime break. Players from both sides returned to the field from the locker room, and the cheerleaders who were performing on the field retreated to the field.

And among these sweet cheerleaders wearing pink-blue short skirts and meat-colored sports socks, Gan Guoyang saw the girl he saw in the dormitory on the first day of school at UC.

He seemed to know Gan Guoyang, and he looked at Gan Guoyang for a long time before returning to the seat on the sidelines.

"Hey Gan, it's time to serve, don't be in a daze." Stockton reminded from the side, he saw Gan Guoyang's expression was a little dull.

"it is good!"

The second half started and UC took the lead in attacking. At this time, they were only five points behind at 31:36. After a halftime adjustment, how to smooth the point difference as soon as possible is their most important task.

Gan Guoyang took a look at UC's lineup in the second half. Sure enough, Miller was put on the bench again. It seemed that Farmar was going to use Miller as a gangster on the bench.

The player who replaced Miller as a starter was also a freshman, but he had a bigger name in high school than Miller, that is, Montel Hatcher, who participated in the 1982 McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game.

<ba后都成为了超级明星。

This Hatcher was obviously regarded as a key training target by Farmar, and he became the starter of UC in his freshman year. This is a treatment that Gan Guoyang can't enjoy-he didn't even make the big list.

But in the first half, Hatcher's limelight was completely overshadowed by Miller, who only scored 2 points and 1 rebound. However, in the second half, UC's offense started from him first.

Hatcher and Miller are completely two types of players, Miller is thin and good at shooting, Hatcher is strong and good at breakthrough.

Especially his upper limbs are extremely thick and have arm strength beyond that of ordinary shooting guards, which allows him to often resist defenders and force layups during breakthroughs.

So, on a screen from a teammate, Hatcher cuts from the corner, Jackson immediately passes the ball into his hands, and Hatcher runs along the edge of the paint and drives straight to the basket!

Hatcher's speed is extremely fast, and it can be seen that he is extremely explosive. His breakthrough is also fast and powerful. After two steps, regardless of whether the defensive player double-teams, he directly holds the ball with both hands and forcibly jumps.

Regardless of 21, throw yourself into the air first, even if you don't have a chance to layup, you can get a foul.

This is also one of the adjustments Farmar made. Relying on outside shooting and touch is not a long-term solution. It is necessary to strengthen the inside attack to cause pressure and damage to the Bulldogs inside.

But when Hatcher flew into the air, he suddenly felt that he hit a wall, and his whole body suddenly lost his balance.

Hatcher immediately threw the ball into the air with great experience, made a shooting motion, and waited for the referee to blow the whistle for a free throw.

However, when he fell to the ground, the referee's whistle didn't sound. Bulldogs player, you didn't foul, it was a good defensive shot.

"Get up, stop acting. Director Spielberg has already left." Gan Guoyang got the ball and handed it to Stockton, looking at Hatcher who was sitting on the ground and pleading innocently to the referee, taunting.

Just now, when Hatcher just started, Gan Guoyang moved to the basket with a stride. He knew that taking off and blocking the block would be a foul in [-]% of the cases. He was blocked and won the ball.

Seeing that the foul trick failed, Hatcher stood up resentfully, and hurried back to the backcourt to defend.

The Bulldogs did not take this opportunity to play a fast break. Stockton firmly suppressed the rhythm. They wanted to hit the success rate and grind UC to death in the slow-paced consumption.

Stockton dribbled the ball outside to observe and look for opportunities. At this time, UC's defensive strength was obviously much stronger than at the beginning of the first half, and it was very tight.

At this time, Gan Guoyang stepped up to the left corner to screen for Stockton. For the stronger Gan Guoyang, his screens were of higher quality than in the past.

A perfect pick-and-roll, Stockton got rid of Jackson's entanglement, leaving a large space on the right corner.

Once the pick-and-roll is completed, it means that the opponent's defense needs to be filled or rotated. Once the rotation is filled, there may be a gap. This is why the pick-and-roll is the simplest, most commonly used and most effective tactic in basketball games.

And if the pick-and-roll is run by a point guard with excellent positional sense and passing skills, then the pick-and-roll can become very scary.

Stockton is a player who can make the pick-and-roll scary.

When he cut in from the right side with the ball, UC's defender fell into a moment of confusion, who should he make up for?Any gap could be an opportunity for Stockton to exploit.

However, Stockton had only one target in his heart at this time, and that was Gan Guoyang, because the midfield coach had already arranged to use Gan Guoyang's strength to defeat UC in one fell swoop.

And Gan Guoyang is also actively going down after the screen. His turning speed has always been extremely fast, and Gray, who is marking, is hesitating whether to switch to Stockton, so there is a pass between Gan Guoyang and Stockton. ball channel.

This kind of pick-and-roll cooperation with Stockton and Gan Guoyang has been practiced countless times in a year, and it is also a trump card hidden by Bellman in the first half.

Stockton didn't turn his eyes to Gan Guoyang's direction, but his hands shook, and the ball got into Gan Guoyang's hands as if he had eyes. At this time, Gan Guoyang had already started.

Gray couldn't keep up at all, and Fields couldn't make up for it. Gan Guoyang relaxed his ape arm and used a one-handed dunk to score the Bulldogs' first two points in the second half! 38:31.

After scoring the goal, Gan Guoyang and Stockton lightly high-fived, and then returned to the half-court defense.

The faces of the two were expressionless, and they were not overly happy because of this beautiful goal, but they showed their amazing sense of tacit understanding.

In the transition between offense and defense, UC still adhered to the adjustment of the midfield and began to focus on their first scoring point, power forward Fields.

In the first half, UC also tried to let Fields play inside alone, and the active double-teaming of the Bulldogs made him inefficient.Fields, who averaged about 17 points per game, only scored 4 points in the first half, which was less than Gan Guoyang, who did not exert his strength.

Fields is not an insider who is good at low-post singles, but likes to catch the ball in front of the basket, and then use his height and strength to hold the ball inside, or rush to the frontcourt to score a second time.

He also has a decent mid-range shot.

But under Gan Guoyang's defense, all these lost their meaning.

Although Gan Guoyang is a center forward, in defense, Bellman asked Gan Guoyang to block the opponent's first scoring point according to the situation of the opponent's lineup.

Therefore, when Fields was holding the ball at the bull's corner, an iron wall stood in front of him again, and he couldn't break through Gan Guoyang, who was at a disadvantage in terms of height, strength and speed.

The first scoring point was suppressed, the breakthrough was suppressed, uc actually had to return to the old routine of the first half, and began to fight for the feeling.

It's a pity that without Miller's leadership, their shooting percentage fell to freezing point again under the strict defense of the Bulldogs and the first half ratio.

As for the Bulldogs, there is actually no problem with UC's defensive strategy. No matter how strong Stockton's ability to play the ball is, it is necessary to oppress him, otherwise it will only make other Bulldogs players more and more comfortable.

But what UC didn't calculate was that the core of the Bulldogs in the second half was no longer Stockton, but Gan Guoyang who held back halftime.

When Gan Guoyang asked for the ball in the low post for the first time, the familiar scene and feeling made Behrman's heart tremble. He seemed to see the Gan Guoyang who tirelessly scored goals in the low post in high school.

Now, in the college basketball world, he will have more things to do, but only when he sinks to the low post and prepares to attack, Bellman feels that this is the real Gan Guoyang, a versatile center with superior offensive power.

Gan Guoyang's positioning skills are still so solid. Since the special training in the barbecue restaurant, he has never relaxed his training on his butt.

With further growth in weight and strength, he ate the 7-foot Gray to death, without any problem at all.

Stockton lob.

Gan Guoyang got the ball.

Turn around directly!

Hook!

In the history of UC's home stadium games, there is only one hook that is firmly engraved in the hearts of every fan, and that is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

However, in this game, at UC's home court, in front of more than 6000 spectators, Gan Guoyang performed a hook, so suddenly, so suddenly that neither the spectators nor the defenders could react. < (hook she), but a standard sky-hook (sky-hook) that everyone is very familiar with!

Almost all inside players can hook, but there is only one skyhook.

But the number 11 yellow man on the field, his straight arms, the basketball raised to the highest point, the beautiful stretched arms, the coordinated left hand and footsteps, everything is as imagined as the number 33.

The entire venue fell into a kind of stagnation, from the audience to the players defending Gan Guoyang, this hook seems to turn the time back to 1966, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first played on this field and used his skyhook. At that time he was called Alcindor.

"Shua!" The ball went hollow, and a 15-foot hook was hit, and its distance was much longer than the average hook.

"This guy really did it." Behrman murmured as he looked at the proud disciple who easily scored with a hook.

He suddenly felt that he was not the coach of the Bulldogs, but John Wooden, the godfather of UC, watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar here, destroying forts one by one with sky hooks.

Gan Guoyang began to defeat UC in the way UC is most familiar with.
