Chapter 26 Boost morale

Bellman called a timeout. At this time, what he had to do was not change tactics. Judging from the previous few rounds, although he was behind 0:8, the Vikings' tactical direction was not a problem. The problem lies in the players' mentality. He wanted to reboot the team's morale.

"Boys," Bellman called the players when they needed encouragement, "You guys are so relaxed, and they think too easily. Everyone is sober, you haven't even scored in the state championship."

The relaxation before the game made the Vikings players a little confused by the Hawks. They didn't expect the Hawks to score eight points in a simple and quick way. In previous games, the Vikings have always been known for their strong defense, and they have struggled to make every score of their opponents full of difficulties.

Defence, skills, tactics and talents are relatively secondary, and the most important thing is attitude and momentum. With a positive attitude and forceful momentum, you can make your opponent feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and you can suppress the opponent's offensive posture.

Once you lose your attitude and momentum, your skills and tactics will appear pale and powerless.

"Peter! Don't be afraid of the opponent's No. 20. Believe in yourself and follow your own pace. Don't always worry that your ball will be stolen. Others should pay attention to the support of Peter and play more. Williams will continue to perform the running tactics. Your running position was good before."

"Everyone cheers up. You are not the defending champions. You are just a group of poor boys. You have nothing, so, fuck them up and fuck them!" Bellman loudly inspired his players, hoping that they can let go of their frivolity and pride and go up and fight strong opponents steadily.

"We want them to understand who the hell is here. Palo Alto is not Auckland, here, we have the final say!"

As the core of the team, Gan Guoyang rarely motivates his teammates in language, but relies more on his performance on the court to support him. Now, he must show the style of a leader.

"Yes, the game has just begun, we want to give them some colors!"

"Beep!" The time-out time has come, the game continues, and the Vikings send the frontcourt ball.

"Hey, yellow monkey, you're a piece of yellow shit." Before serving, Payton walked to Gan Guoyang and squirted at him.

"Then you're just a fucking rat shit!" The rat shit was black. While fighting back, Gan Guoyang also gestured out the size of a small rat shit with his fingers to mock Payton's small size.

Payton's tilted mouth became even more crooked when he heard this.

In the first encounter between the two after they came on the court, Payton did not take advantage. At this time, the Vikings kicked off and he had no time to continue to argue with Gan Guoyang. He wanted to vent the resentment in his heart on Dippenblock.

After receiving the ball, Diepembroke organized the offense again. The Vikings' basic tactics did not change, and they still focused on the screening of the shooting guard to drive the entire team's offense.

But Dipembroke obviously still hasn't adapted to Payton's tight defense. The few words of encouragement from timeout will not make people's technical level suddenly rise, but at least he can protect his ball and not hold the ball to the point of dead ball with both hands.

At the same time, other Vikings players also strengthened their support for Dipenblock, whose small forward had already pulled to the left wing. Dipenblock immediately took the ball and handed the ball to the small forward, and then he himself cut from the right wing to the inside, taking Payton's defense away, creating a two-on-two situation on the left wing.

Gan Guoyang is once again in the interior. The Vikings’ top priority now is to score points to stabilize the morale of the army, so Gan Guoyang is naturally the first choice.

However, because the No. 43 center forward has full strength, Gan Guoyang is not very good at position. After receiving the ball, he used his back to test the opponent's defense, and it seemed that there was no flaw.

At this time, the Eagles' attention was focused on Gan Guoyang. They all knew that this Chinese kid was the number one star of the Vikings, and his reputation has now spread to the Oakland area.

However, after stagnating for a while, Gan Guoyang chose to pass the ball!

He saw his wrist tremble and hit the ground. The ball passed from the left side of the three-second zone to the right side. A player who was inserted from the right side received the ball in the three-second zone. It was Diepembroke!

It turned out that after the ball was shot from the outside, Dipembroke cut in from the right wing, and at the same time, Vigis on the strong side raised him to provide a cover, allowing him to temporarily get rid of Payton's entanglement and successfully cut into the inside.

Gan Guoyang relied on his own holding of the ball to attract the opponent's attention. This unexpected pass completely exposed the rim to Dippenblock, which was an excellent opportunity to score easily.

But Payton is not that easy to pass.

Vigis's cover was not neat and clean. Although Payton lost his best defensive position, he still forcibly bypassed the cover and followed Dipembroke closely. At the same time, other players also came to make up for defense.

Dippenblock did not hesitate. He knew that such opportunities were fleeting and it would not be so easy to reorganize the ball if the ball was passed. So facing Payton who was close to him and the players who came to make up for defense, he bent his arms and exerted force at the moment of receiving the ball. The ball drew an arc, which was a small throw!

Gan Guoyang looked up at the slightly haste throw. Judging from the ball's arc, the ball's strength was obviously weaker, because at the moment when Dippenblock pitched, Payton made a foul-free interference on the back, which affected Dippenblock's attacking power.

Sure enough, the ball hit the front of the basket, and because it was a throwing shot, the bounced direction was very straight, just above the basket.

Just as the Hawks insiders were about to jump and grab the rebound, a huge figure enveloped them.

Gan Guoyang jumped high and caught the ball in the air with both hands. While falling, he poured the ball into the basket with both hands!

The slam dunk was light and crispy, and the basket didn't even shake. Gan Guoyang's hand just touched the ring. Before his opponent could react, he had already landed on the ground and turned around and ran away without looking back. At the same time, he raised his left hand high and stretched out a finger, indicating that this was the first point the Vikings got!

This clean and neat patch finally made the dull gymnasium burst into pieces. Cheers and applause instantly resounded, and green waves surged in the audience. This was what they wanted to see.

This goal not only broke the embarrassment of the Vikings' unscored at the beginning, but also boosted the morale of the team. Gan Guoyang's domineering and raised one hand high also made all the players have a support in their hearts.

"This guy is so fast." The Eagles' No. 43 center.

Just now after Dippenblock made a throw, Gan Guoyang stepped forward and blocked the No. 43 center with his left arm, occupying the front position of the basket, and successfully dunked.

"Give him some color, Greg." Payton looked unhappy. He didn't expect that this Chinese player could compete with him on his lips, and his skills were also excellent. It seemed that he was well-deserved.

"I'll do my best..." This Greg is obviously an honest man. His full name is Greg Foster. In 8 years, he will enter the NBA with Payton, but in the professional league he will eventually be just an unknown person.

"Everyone is excited! It's time to kick their ass!" Gan Guoyang returned to the backcourt, clapping his hands while encouraging his teammates with words. This time he did not squat at the basket, but stood near the free throw line. Obviously, he was going to put pressure on his opponent's outside line again.

The entire Vikings' defense became a 2-1-2 formation, which has a very high limit on breakthroughs, because no matter which direction the breakthrough is broken, it will be attacked by three players.

The best way to crack this kind of defense is naturally to break through the ball and 45-degree outside shooting. At the same time, this formation is very unfavorable to the protection of the backcourt rebounds and is easily snatched from the frontcourt board. Therefore, this formation relies very much on the "1", which is the core of the inside line in the middle.

Therefore, when Payton broke inward with the ball, Gan Guoyang immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense and blocked the road, but in order to prevent him from passing the ball, Gan Guoyang did not stick very tightly, but took two steps and was ready to make up for the defense and other areas at any time.

"Hey, do you know how to shoot? Do you know how to shoot? I heard that your shooting is like rat shit." In addition to physical defense, Gan Guoyang also launched a mental attack. Based on his later knowledge, he knew that Payton's jump shot was not particularly outstanding. Although he scored two goals in a row just now, he made it without defense.

In comparison, Gan Guoyang is more afraid of Payton's pass, so he will have to spend more energy to make up for leaks everywhere, and at the same time prevent his opponent from rushing to rebound.

After all, Payton is just a ninth-grade high school student. It can be seen from the trash he has not yet practiced yet that he still needs a lot of experience. Whether it is skill or psychology, he is still far from Gan Guoyang, who has two lifetimes of experience and talented plug-ins.

As soon as Gan Guoyang's two words stirred up, Payton's heart was furious. He thought that he had made two jump shots in a row, and the yellow-skinned monkey actually said that he could not make a jump shot.

Payton's breakthrough speed is not fast, but his rhythm is very good. He can change his breakthrough frequency according to the speed of the defender and gain an advantage in time difference. This is a kind of talent.

In addition, the Vikings players were afraid of his pass, so they did not stick to defense while following the defense, but instead took two or three steps away from him. So after Peyton slowly broke inward, he suddenly pulled back, adjusted his pace, held the ball in both hands, and directly pulled up the shot!

Greg Foster was right about this. Gan Guoyang's reaction was really fast. Although he was deceived by Payton's time difference, he quickly adjusted and saw Payton jumping and immediately stretched out his long arm to block the block.

Although Payton threw the ball before the big hand in front of him, he was obviously disturbed by Gan Guoyang, and his move was relatively haste and his hand shape was already unstable.

"Bang!" The ball hit the basket's neck and bounced to the right.

But the Hawks' offense did not end there. Because Gan Guoyang rushed to the outside to make up for defense, the Vikings' inside was empty. The Hawks' small forward rushed directly to the basketball that was bounced out of the basket. Relying on the impact of the run-up, he took the frontcourt rebound from Vigis' head.

But just when he was hesitating to attack alone or pass the ball next time, Williams, who was responsible for defending on the right, cut the ball straight and knocked down the ball in his hand.

Seeing this, the Hawks small forward left and stretched out his hands to catch the ball back, but Williams blocked him with his body, then held the ball in his arms and controlled the ball tightly!

Then, before the opponent rushed forward, Williams passed the ball to Diepembroke who was coming forward to meet, and the Vikings won the ball!

A burst of cheers rang out in the gymnasium. Obviously, the Vikings players' desperate attitude of defending and winning the ball was what the audience wanted to see. Bellman nodded on the coaching table, knowing that his teammates had adjusted from the too relaxed state of the opening.

It was the Vikings' turn to attack again, and they were still six points behind 2:8, but the momentum had begun to slowly turn around.

"I'll let you see what a fucking shot is!" Gan Guoyang did not let Payton go and said to him in the middle of the game.

Soon both sides fell into the position. This time, Gan Guoyang did not take the position at the low position, but mentioned that he would go online to cover Dipembroke, which was also the regular tactic of the Vikings. Dipembroke gradually began to adapt to Payton's defense, but he still had to spend a lot of energy to fight Payton's double harassment.

Now Gan Guoyang stepped forward to support him, and he understood that he had made a pick-and-roll with Gan Guoyang.

According to the usual tactical cooperation, only Gan Guoyang is generally going down in the pick-and-roll. If there is a chance in the inside, Dipengbloke will pass the ball directly to Gan Guoyang; if there is no, Dipengbloke will reorganize the offense.

This time, Gan Guoyang did not block it and then went down, but pulled to the left side of the free throw line, which was the route to go outward.

Greg Foster had to switch to Diepembroke who broke inwardly at this time, while Peyton was pushed back by Gan Guoyang.

Dippenblock saw Gan Guoyang's hands spread forward in the position of the ball, so he penetrated the crotch and hit the ground after dismantling it. The ball passed through Greg's crotch and handed it steadily to Gan Guoyang's hand.

After Gan Guoyang lost to the Cancer team 0:10, he rarely used long-distance jump shots in the game, but focused on scoring inside. But his touch was gifted by talent, and it was revealed since he first came into contact with basketball.

After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang was empty because no one thought that the team's center would shoot at this distance. In the 1980s, it was very rare to shoot inside and outside. Payton was behind Gan Guoyang's butt.

Gan Guoyang was watching from other Hawks players, and Zhang Shou made a jump shot! 4:8!

"Did you see it? This is the fucking jump shot!" After the shot, Gan Guoyang did not forget Peyton's words after "learning", and then patted his butt and left.

With two goals and one successful defense by Gan Guoyang, the Vikings finally began to slowly turn around in momentum, and for the game of high school teams, momentum is more important than skills and tactics.

However, the Hawks are not an impatient team. Although Payton is only in the ninth grade, with his future NBA superstar limit and years of street hardship, he is also the one who is becoming more and more courageous. Faced with Gan Guoyang's sharp counterattack, he must also give the most powerful counterattack.

Sure enough, after Gan Guoyang made an in-depth shot, the Eagles did not make any trouble, but served quickly, and Payton quickly advanced over the half-court after receiving the ball. At this time, the Vikings players had not yet completely fallen into the position defense.

The Eagles' small forward - a very energetic tall and thin man with a small curly hair on his back, took advantage of the Vikings' unstable footing and successfully walked around the basket through Greg Foster's cover. Payton is worthy of being the future super point guard. When the man comes, a beautiful pass penetrated into the heart of the Vikings like an arrow.

No matter how fast Gan Guoyang reacted, he could not be in place every goal. Although he had worked hard to make up for defense, the opponent's small forward still easily scored a layup after receiving the ball, 4:10.

The Hawks beat the Vikings to chase each other and once again widened the gap to six points.

"When I was playing basketball on the street, you were still playing with mud in open crotch pants. Go back and wipe your snot!" Payton naturally would not show mercy after a good ball. Although Gan Guoyang is older than him, he mocked Gan Guoyang like an old fried dough stick.

Payton did struggle in the slums stadium very early, and he not only developed a good team of football skills and verbal tricks, but also created a character of being unswerving and fearless.

Gan Guoyang grew up alone in an orphanage in his later generations, but his temper was stubborn like a cow. Although he became much more peaceful after he merged with this life, his father became much more peaceful. Once his spirit was aroused, he was also a barbarian who could not be held back by ten cows.

"I hope you still have the strength to wipe your butt when I hit your shit in a while."
