The Golden Age of Basketball

() Gan Guoyang hasn't dunked like this for a long time.

Unlike many young players, Gan Guoyang is a player with a relatively low dunk frequency. Of course, this does not mean that he is a player who lacks passion.

On the contrary, most fans who like to watch Gan Guoyang play, including his relatives and friends, Wang Fuxi, and Behrman, are often infected and moved by Gan Guoyang's passion on the court.

Gan Guoyang's passion is reflected in his ubiquity in defense, in his continuous explosive scoring in offense, and in his timely answer-ball.

In addition, his exaggerated body movements and verbal encouragement to his teammates always make people watching his games quickly attracted by this unique yellow-skinned player.

But he just doesn't often use the most passionate and shocking scoring method on the basketball court-slam dunk.

Since Gan Guoyang discovered the second secret of talent through dunk practice frantically, he began to use his dunks sparingly.

Because he knows that dunking is a thing, if you dunk too much, you will naturally get tired of it, especially for a player like him who has few dunk tricks, only in the game, dunk with all his strength at the right time, can he maximize this passion. The energy of the way she scores.

This is the difference between Gan Guoyang and other stunned young college students. There are two memories in his soul. He knows how to think about his own talent, and he also knows how to apply the experience and knowledge learned by later generations to basketball games and current life. .

Therefore, when Gan Guoyang used such a dunk to kill the Blue Jays under the basket, he knew that his goal of dunking had been achieved.

For some players who like to dunk, dunk is not only good-looking and enjoyable, but also just two points; for Gan Guoyang, it is not only two points, not just a performance, but can make the team turn around a method.

Although Gan Guoyang still has a vague sense of the "momentum" of the game, he can feel that there is such a "momentum" on the field. Tactics can be opened up, and a wave of climax can often be played.

And when the team is "losing power", drinking cold water can also block the teeth; open shots can't be made, simple layups can't be made, frequent mistakes, poor rotation, all kinds of problems spread to every player like an infectious disease.

Take the current Bulldogs as an example, they are in a state of loss, but fortunately, the opponent Blue Jays are not much better.The two sides beat the drum with broken hammers, and it didn't make any sound.

Gan Guoyang, who has gradually figured out the "momentum" on the field, knows that at this time, he needs to use an exciting score to stabilize the morale of the army, and then sound the clarion call for a counterattack.

In addition, his hand feeling today was also very average. Facing an opportunity that was not particularly good, Gan Guoyang tried his best to "dunk-in-you-face" (dunk your face) on Benjamin's head.

This goal not only made the Bulldogs' bench boil instantly, even the fans at home of the Blue Jays began to applaud Gan Guoyang. They didn't expect this yellow-skinned center to have such a wonderful performance.

"See, Mr. Strasser, this guy has such magical powers. Although he doesn't look like he can jump too high, and his dunks are very simple, he is so exciting. When I first When I watched him dunk on the streets of Inglewood, I knew that this Chinese man was definitely not an ordinary player." Falk was like a salesman selling Gan Guoyang who was making free throws on the court.

"Oh, I think I'm going to take another look, you know, it's a huge risk. Investing in a type of player that's never proven to be successful, I think it's better than investing in North Carolina. That young man still makes people uneasy." Before standing up and applauding Gan Guoyang, and saying that he is a person who "can change everything", he sat down again.

Obviously, he is making a difficult decision, a decision related to the survival of a group.

"You're right, but that's how investment is. The more unknown the field, the greater the return after success, because competitors dare not start. For your company, it has come to a certain risk. It's time to take risks." At this time, another person who seemed to be accompanying Falk and Mr. Strasser said.

What this person said seemed very convincing. After listening to it, Strasser nodded and continued to stare at the game on the court, but fell into deep thought.

Falk stopped talking. He knew that the most important thing now was not his rhetoric, but Gan Guoyang's performance on the field. Only Gan Guoyang's performance could impress the manager beside him.

He can't wait for Gan Guoyang to dunk again immediately. It's best if the rebounds are smashed, so there will be no problem.

After Gan Guoyang succeeded in free throws, he put his energy into defense. It is not enough to boost morale with a dunk. He must be able to contain the opponent in defense, and then counterattack quickly in order to completely burn up the momentum.

The Bulldogs used the most conservative man-to-man defense in the opening game, but Behrman assigned Gan Guoyang a task, that is, not to leave the three-second zone easily, and if the opponent's inside line can go out and make a mid-range shot, he can shoot with him.

Gan Guoyang followed Behrman's instructions, while taking care of Benjamin, while guarding against the small moves of the opponent's outside players.

And Benjamin, who was dunked by Gan Guoyang just now, was suffocated. When he returned to the offensive end, he was anxious to pay back the opponent, so he started desperately to get a low position on the right.

This time, Gan Guoyang did not go around to prevent Benjamin from asking for the ball, but held No. 00 behind his back. It seemed that Gan Guoyang was going to fight him upright, so that his opponent could die with peace of mind.

The other players also pulled away, allowing the two inside behemoths to engage in a duel between the Cavaliers.

It's a pity that Benjamin dribbled the ball twice, pushed it hard inside, and found that the top didn't move. When he was about to use his body shape to turn around and run into it, Gan Guoyang behind him seized the opportunity with his long arms and protected Benjamin. The ball that is not good enough is directly poked off.

After the ball fell to the ground, Gan Guoyang relied on the advantage of his wingspan, and when the two fell to the ground at the same time, he smashed the ball towards Stockton who was rushing forward.

The Bulldogs strike back!

At this point, I have to say that there is a bug in Gan Guoyang. His body is relatively thin and flexible, but his strength is stronger than that of the tall and strong Benjamin.

So he was able to get his hands free to break the ball while holding off on Benjamin.

After the successful steal, Gan Guoyang immediately got up and went straight to the frontcourt to participate in the fast break.

Stockton took the lead in throwing the ball forward with a pass and passed it into the hands of shooting guard Matthews.

But Matthews didn't have a chance to double-team the two defensive players in the front. He immediately passed the ball to Gan Guoyang who inserted from the right back.

Gan Guoyang was surrounded by only one of the opponent's small forwards, and Benjamin had already been left far behind.

Gan Guoyang once again caught the ball with one hand, and the opponent wanted to steal it.

Gan Guoyang caught the ball between his forearm and wrist.

The basketball and Gan Guoyang's arms are integrated into one!

He was waving his arms and running like he wasn't holding the ball!

One, two, take off!

At this time, the right arm that was swung to the rear made a big loop from bottom to top, and Gan Guoyang brought the ball to the highest point with the jump!

The opponent's small forward has given up interference!

"Bah!"

A lightning-like slam dunk!

rock-the-baby!

rock-the-baby!

rock-the-baby!

If there was a commentary on the scene, he would definitely yell out this phrase like crazy, because the audience at the scene was already crazy.

At this time, the players of the Blue Jays no longer knew whose home field it was.

Because almost all the fans are cheering, cheering for this yellow-skinned player who has never seen it from afar.

If you switch to another team in the same division of Omaha, no matter what wonderful performances their players have, the fans will not have any reaction.

Unlike the Gonzaga Bulldogs, the Northwest Coast team was more of a guest than an opponent, and the game was more of a warm-up match.

The most important thing is that this dunk is beyond everyone's imagination. It's just like Dr. J repeating, on a 6'10 Chinese man!

This guy isn't Larry Nance!

The game couldn't go on all of a sudden, because even the players of the Blue Jays didn't know what to do, how to play?

The fans at the scene turned against each other, all cheering for the opponent's goal, and this kind of crazy energy seemed to be the same as they won the ncaa championship.

Willis Reid also shook his head on the sidelines, so he had to call a timeout to calm down his players and the fans at the scene.

In fact, not only the blue jay needs to be calm, but the bulldog is also crazy.

When Gan Guoyang dunked into the basket, the first thing all players wanted to do was not to return to defense, but to throw Gan Guoyang down to vent the excitement this dunk brought to them.

"Okay, okay, let's all calm down, okay, calm down, don't think about that dunk anymore. Calm down, calm down." Bellman kept using "clam-down" to appease the players on the sidelines, but obviously he himself had some Excited, can anyone not be excited by such a dunk?

Yes, only Gan Guoyang, his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know how he dunked such a dunk.

He has indeed seen this kind of slam dunk in later generations. It was the astonishing steal and fast break dunk performed by Dr. J in 1983, which is the finals of this year. With his amazing coordination and graceful steps, he performed an insurmountable dunk in the history of dunks A classic performance.

The TV commentator used "rock-the-baby" (shaking the baby) to describe this wonderful dunk.

What this kind of dunk needs most is not bounce and strength, but extremely outstanding coordination, excellent steps and huge palms.

If ordinary people do this kind of action in the game, they will either walk or lose the ball, so this kind of dunk is only one case in the history of nba.

But now, Gan Guoyang has dedicated such a classic "rock-the-baby" to all the audience in an unknown invitational game in Omaha Farm. How can the fans not be crazy?How can you not defect?

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Mr. Strasser, what are you still hesitating? Do you still have doubts about my words? Look at his performance, look at the audience's reaction. Oh my god, I think I I'm going crazy." Falk himself said to Strasser next to him with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Yes yes, it's too... too... oh, I don't even know how to describe it..." Strasser was also a little incoherent, and he was also conquered by Gan Guoyang's performance.

"Haha, it seems that I made the right decision to invite this team to Omaha. I also saw a unique thing in him, something that investors will notice." The third person on the side He said with a smile, he seemed very calm.

"You have always had such a unique vision, Mr. Buffett." Falke immediately complimented this man when he heard what he said.

This person is the American stock god, Buffett.

Another named Strasser is the president of Nike, Robert Strasser.

The reason why the Gonzaga Bulldogs traveled thousands of miles to Omaha to play games was due to Buffett's arrangement and Falk's matchmaking.

And they organized the game for another man, Robert Strasser, and his company, Nike.

In fact, Nike in the 80s was full of crises. On the one hand, it was suppressed by the then-boss Converse in the United States, and on the other hand, it was squeezed out by Reebok. There was also a strong enemy overseas, Adidas.

In order to be able to find a way for the company to grow and develop, Nike must find another way, looking for new ways in all aspects.

One of the important tasks is to find new spokespersons for the team's products.

In fact, although Nike had more than 120 nba players at that time, there were famous superstars in the nba such as Magic Johnson, Bird Bird, Dr. J Irving’s sneakers were Converse, and the American basketball shoe market was also dominated by Converse. monopoly.

But Nike realized that the development of basketball shoes is far from being exhausted, and there is still huge potential to be tapped. In this case, they must first find a suitable brand spokesperson.

At this time, David Falk entered their vision.

This new force, who has shined in the agent world in recent years, has just helped No. [-] pick James Worthy get the sneaker contract of Converse this year.

Now, Nike has taken a fancy to another excellent rookie in his hands. Nike believes that if they sign him, as a brand spokesperson, they will definitely be able to get out of the trough and create a miracle of sneakers.

However, David Falk wants Nike to sign two people at the same time, one of which is a very unique but outstanding center.

Nike President Strasser certainly can't listen to the Jewish empty teeth, he must personally inspect the two players.

Regarding the first player, North Carolina's No. 23, a well-known shooting guard in the United States, he didn't have any doubts. After a little understanding, he basically made a decision and waited for this kid to enter the NBA.

And the other person, according to Falk, is a Chinese boy!Moreover, he delayed the competition for a year because of the transfer of another school. He just started to participate in the official competition this year. He is a little famous in California, but he is unknown in the United States.

Therefore, he had to go to the scene to see this Chinese kid's game.

Just in time, Buffett, a big venture capitalist, took a fancy to Nike, a fish in the pond, and thought that he would turn into a dragon in the future.So in his hometown of Omaha, an invitational tournament was arranged, and the expenses were paid by him.

In this way, there was this game that seemed inexplicable to Gan Guoyang, but he didn't know that in just 7 minutes of the game, he had passed the test he didn't know about and became a key figure who changed the fate of many things.

History is still moving forward in his orbit, but the driving force driving him forward has begun to be somewhat different.
