Gan Guoyang still remembers that in high school and college games, Belman was always like a slave owner holding a whip. Any player who dared to relax in defense would be whipped.

But when it comes to the Trail Blazers, players' defense, especially the outside defense, often becomes dispensable.

Gan Guoyang and Sampson in the inside are both excellent blockers and defenders on the defensive end, but they are medium-sized insiders in height and weight. They cannot completely sit in the three-second zone like Mark Eaton, and slap each one.

Gan Guoyang once imagined that he would stand in the three-second zone to block every attack on the opponent's basket like he did when he was in college, but he found that in a high-level confrontation like the NBA, it would be completely impossible to rely on individuals to block the opponent's outside breakthrough without the assistance of outside players.

He himself often pays too much foul.

After more than ten games, Gan Guoyang has learned to give up defense at the right time, but watching the opponent's players score on the basket feel really bad, which makes him very, very depressed.

Not to mention, when seeing that the team's loss of points is often caused by the lack of outside defense, Gan Guoyang's resentment will naturally become stronger and stronger.

Among them, Van dervich's defense is undoubtedly worth criticizing. Although he can contribute about 30 points per game, he often becomes an ATM on the defensive end.

In the first game against the Kansas Kings, his opponent's small forward Eddie Johnson scored 30 points; against the Lakers, Worthy, who was against him, scored 21 points with a high shooting percentage of 9 of 14 shots; against the Nuggets, he allowed his old teammate Inglish to score 45 points; in the last game, Sauter scored 48 points on his head.

Dantley is about to score in double digits just after the start of this game against the Jazz.

Gan Guoyang really wanted to rush to Van dervich and ask him, why didn’t he work hard to defend? Does he have no talent? Defense does require talent, but defense requires more attitude.

Many of the balls Van der Vic is missing, or the eyes are defending, but Gan Guoyang can't make up for it even if he wants to.

But there are some things that Gan Guoyang is not easy to say.

Although Gan Guoyang has always been unrestrained, often neither big nor small, and even Bob McAdu dares to fight, Van derwich is different, and the relationship between the two is actually very good in private.

On the first day of the team's training, Van dervich, the old UCLA minister, looked for Gan Guoyang, and the two became good friends to practice shooting together.

After that, every day of training, Gan Guoyang had to take time to practice shooting with Van dervich. Gan Guoyang strives to regain his mid-range jump shot this season.

Van derwich also has a good relationship with Drexler, and Van derwich admires Drexler very much.

When Drexler and Ramsey have a conflict, Van derwich will always speak for Drexler and determine that Drexler will definitely be a superstar in the future.

Needless to say, the relationship between Gan Guoyang and Drexler is the best friend.

With these two relationships, and Van dervich is the team's biggest star at the moment and a friendly senior, no matter what Gan Guoyang does, he cannot point fingers at Van dervich casually.

So sometimes, Gan Guoyang would rather Drexler play as a small forward on the court. Drexler is not a defensive expert, but at least he is strong and has a defensive awareness and will not miss the position.

However, Ramsey's method of solving this problem is different from what Gan Guoyang thought. He also knew that Van derwich's defense was not good, so he simply did not make defensive requirements for Van derwich.

Instead, it completely liberated Van dervic's firepower in the offense, allowing the whole team to run and play, use offense instead of defense, conceding one or two, and using goals to make up for the defensive shortcomings.

This made Gan Guoyang still very uncomfortable. He still needs to practice such an NBA rhythm for a long time.

"Serve quickly, Gan! Quick free throw! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! (Run!)" Ramsey shouted on the sidelines, asking Gan Guoyang to serve faster so as to launch a fast attack.

Gan Guoyang always thought that if Ramsey didn't become a coach, it would be good to be a tenor singer. His roar was always so full of energy and tireless.

Gan Guoyang sent the ball to Valentine and then began to run towards the frontcourt.

The three words "Run!Run!Run!" are written at the top of Ramsey's tactical board. No matter how Ramsey transforms his tactics before the game, these three words will always be placed in the most eye-catching position.

In Ramsey's view, no matter what tactics it is, they can only work when they run.

In this game, Ramsey kept urging the players to run quickly.

Because the Jazz has two towers, two giants, one is extremely tall and the other is flexible and agile, once it lands on the position, it is difficult for the Trail Blazers to take advantage.

So Ramsey asked every player to run at full speed before the game, otherwise the Jazz's two towers would easily form a defensive formation.

Gan Guoyang was a little distracted, and he was never afraid of the Shuangta.

In the NCAA's Final-four, against the Kentucky Wildcats, the Wildcats had two giants, Sam Bovey and Melvin Teppin.

As a result, Twin-tower was played into Twin-fools by Gan Guoyang's outstanding steps and sensitive movements.

The main reason why Gan Guoyang is not afraid of the double towers is his advantage in confrontation. In terms of height is important, his strength is more critical. Gan Guoyang's power bugs are enough to make up for his lack of height.

The second is to attack China-Gan Guoyang with excellent mobility and good attack skills in the basket, which allows him to launch an attack from a relatively far away from the basket.

The further away from the basket, the less powerful the two towers are.

The main scary thing about the double towers is the blockage of the three-second zone and the strong protection of the backcourt rebounds.

Gan Guoyang can be hard-chised at a low level, and can also play at the edge of the three-second zone, greatly reducing the power of the double towers.

Gan Guoyang had just run to the top of the arc, and Valentine was already like a bulldog, holding the ball and rushing into the three-second zone.

Valentine was not tall, but was sturdy, especially his thighs, which were thick like a big stump, and looked like a thick and short bulldog.

His passing ability is actually quite good, but it does not mean that he does not have the ability to attack.

He saw that the Jazz players were still not yet firm in their foothold and their defense was not formed, so he decisively chose to break through.

But he underestimated Mark Eaton's movement ability and height. Gan Guoyang watched Mark Eaton not jumping much. He rushed forward and stretched out his arm, and pressed Valentine who rushed into the air.

Van dervich, who was following up urgently, picked up the ball and made a move to shoot, but Eaton was already standing next to him, covering the entire basket like a towering tree.

Van dervich did not choose to challenge Eaton's blocks - Eaton averaged 5 blocks per game, and he just started to beat them today.

He turned around with the ball in his arms, saw Gan Guoyang cutting into the middle, and handed the ball in his arms to Gan Guoyang who had already started to rush up as if he had handed a explosive bag.

Gan Guoyang didn't score yet at the beginning, and he was depressed because of his teammates' defensive problems. No matter how many years he was, he would take off and dunk after receiving the ball!

Some spectators have already stood up from the sidelines to appreciate the possible violent bang.

Of course Eaton would not let Gan Guoyang make ground on his head, but his reaction was a little slow. It seemed difficult to stop Gan Guoyang, which had already rushed up.

Gan Guoyang's bounce is not top-notch, but he has top-notch waist and abdomen and coordination.

When he hit Eaton in the air, he felt that it might be difficult to climb over the mountain.

But he maintained his balance, retracted his right hand, handed the ball to his left hand, and made a low layup with his left hand before falling, throwing the ball towards the basket with a feeling.

"Beep!" "Bang!" The referee whistle sounded, and Gan Guoyang also fell heavily to the floor.

"Has the ball entered?" Gan Guoyang asked, looking at Van dervich who came forward to pull him up.

"What do you think, listen to the cheers at the scene?" Van dervich pulled Gan Guoyang up from the floor and said.

The sound of the entire memorial gymnasium increased a lot, and applause and cheers filled Gan Guoyang's eardrums.

Gan Guoyang couldn't help but recall the scene when he copied a Rock-the-baby game when he was playing at Creighton University, which caused the game to be interrupted.

"Feeling-Good! (It feels so good)." Gan Guoyang patted his butt and stood up, knowing that he was going to the free throw line.

The complaints that Van der Vicki had previously suffered from the loss of defense also temporarily dissipated because of Qiqi's pass.

"Sorry, Mark." Gan Guoyang said to Eaton who was standing aside and feeling helpless. His words were indeed sincere.

However, other Jazz players thought Gan Guoyang was provoking Eaton. Eaton was an honest man and never swearing trash, so his teammates naturally had to stand up for him.

"You should be sorry like the basket, you will throw a brick at him later." Jazz's Rick Green said before Gan Guoyang's free throw, trying to interfere with his free throw.

Gan Guoyang ignored him. After getting the ball, he did not make any preparations and directly opened his hand and shot. He felt that his hand felt pretty good now.

"Fuck-you~" When the ball was still flying in the air, Gan Guoyang said lightly and turned around and sprayed Green.

"Swish!" The ball entered, and Gan Guoyang's free throw was still quite steady.

Gan Guoyang’s arrogance is based on his confidence in himself.

And Gan Guoyang also has an idea, Rick Green is the Jazz's starting point guard, and Stockton is his substitute at this time.

If Green can be defeated, Stockton will be able to play.

Sure enough, when he returned to defense, Gan Guoyang set his sights on Green.

Green played his career representative season last season, averaging 139 games in the season, and made the Jazz achieve second place in the West, thus becoming the All-Star lineup.

As an All-Star, he is more confident in playing on the court and dares to take action.

But he didn't know that Gan Guoyang had already set his sights on him and gave up his defense against Eaton. When Green tried to rely on a pick-and-roll to jump shot on the right, he slapped his shot with a slap.

This is also the limitation of the double towers, which makes Gan Guoyang dare to let Eaton add to the outside line. If the inside line is Jabbar or an inside line with strong mobility, Gan Guoyang generally dares not rush out.

The most terrifying thing about Gan Guoyang's blocking shot is that he is not particularly tall and often makes his opponent underestimate his control height. In fact, his arm span is very terrifying.

Moreover, Gan Guoyang's movement speed has always been his advantage, and outside players will be blocked by Gan Guoyang if they are not careful.

Gan Guoyang's blocking could not help but stop his opponent's attack and could always get the ball. He never liked to put the racket in the audience like playing volleyball.

"I think it's better for you to sit on the bench." Gan Guoyang still didn't let Green go. After handing the ball to Valentine, he continued to talk to Green.

Green looked depressed, but he didn't have time to fight back because Valentine rushed to the front court like a dog again.

Van dervich's performance in the offense is indeed indescribable. He has a great sense of position. He circled from the right side to the bottom line in the counterattack, penetrated a thread in the Jazz's defensive formation, and relied on Sampson's cover to pull out a point guard at the top of the arc. He received Valentine's pass and jumped directly and the ball entered!

After the Trail Blazers scored five points in a row, they finally widened the gap slightly, forcing the Jazz to call a timeout.

"You should be on your No. 12! Only No. 12 is suitable for you!" Gan Guoyang still did not stop and yelled directly at the Jazz bench.

Green must now regret saying that trash words to Gan Guoyang, and he seemed to open a Pandora's box at once.

At that time, trash talk was just beginning to become popular in the NBA. Most team players still used their skills to solve problems, while a few big mouths developed mental attack methods.

After entering the NBA, Gan Guoyang was still a little unwilling to let go of these seniors. He was even more of a superstar like Jabbar and Johnson.

But after ten games, he no longer cared about these things, especially after two games with the Lakers. Facing Worthy and his old enemy McAdu, Gan Guoyang's mouth was not idle at all.

Today, Green is looking for trouble for the Jazz, and he is destined to be unhappy in this game.

"Hey, are you okay, KiKi." Back on the bench, Ramsey asked as he looked at Van dervich.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked at Vanderwich and found that he was shaking his arm and gently rubbing his back with his other hand.

"I'm fine, no problem, I feel pretty good." Van dervich stopped moving and said he was fine.

Gan Guoyang knew that the place where Van dervich rubbed was latissimus dorsi, and he had been injured in that position before. Could it be that Van dervich had an injury on his back?

"OK, we did a great job. As long as we run, the Jazz's double tower effect will not be able to be exerted. But be careful, you should reduce unreasonable shots in the counterattack. KiKi and Clyde should make more axes in both waist positions, so you can strengthen your cutting. Valentine pays attention to choices, and the projection of the flank is your task."

Ramsey's rapid offense is not a quick attack, but a quick advance to create misalignment in the frontcourt, while Van derwich is the main maker of misalignment; now he is ready to send Drexler to expand his results.

Gan Guoyang was once again thrown to the high position to be a assaulter and a disruptor, but he likes this role now, especially in the first half, which makes it easier for him to play.

The suspension ended and both sides returned to the court.

At this time, Stockton was finally replaced and Gan Guoyang was going to face off with his old friend on the court for the first time.
Chapter completed!
