When a star enters the realm of "The-Field", everything on the field will change in their eyes, and many things begin to become familiar with each other and become simple and clear.

The opponent's defensive routine, the defensive position of the opponent's defensive position, the assisted defense intention of the teammates, and the running movement of the teammates will form a coherent picture in the player's mind. During the offense, he will stand at the most appropriate position and make a free choice after receiving the ball, and his opponent will find it difficult to stop him.

"The-Field" is a player's highest level. It does not mean that a player can do whatever he wants, but that a player knows what can be done, what can't be done, when to do what is right, how to do it can do it best, and can help the team win.

This is the product of the combination of basketball experience and personal ability. When a player enters this state, it means that he has already had his own new experience of basketball and victory, and his own winning philosophy.

For Gan Guoyang, all this came suddenly, but it was natural. Before the game against the Suns began, he did not realize that he would play so lightly and do whatever he wanted.

Everyone's movements seemed to be half a beat slower. The loopholes in the Suns' defense were clearly visible in his eyes. He felt that as long as he wanted, he could go into the basket to score points at any time, just like taking a puppy.

After losing weight, Gan Guoyang looked lighter and more flexible than last season, which made his hook and turnover jump shot look more beautiful and stretched. The game unknowingly entered the rhythm of Gan Guoyang.

The Trail Blazers led the Suns by 25 points in the first half, and the score difference continued until the last moment of the game. The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Suns by 129:104 and 25 points.

Gan Guoyang won the title of Player of the Game with 29 points and 16 rebounds. His shooting percentage was terrifying 14 of 15 shots. He only got one free throw in 27 minutes of the game because he didn't have to go to the inside to kill his opponent.

Subsequently, CBS reporters conducted a post-match interview with Gan Guoyang.

"Hello, Gan, congratulations on winning the first game of the season. It can be seen that you played very easily. You only played for 27 minutes, but your shooting percentage was as high as 90%. What made you so outstanding?" Even the reporters on the sidelines could feel that Gan Guoyang's performance on the court was really relaxed.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I've become lighter, right?" Gan Guoyang joked with the reporter and continued: "I feel that everything has become easy, which is inseparable from my hard practice in the summer. It's a very important season for me. I will put in 120% of my efforts to win everything I deserve, so I will show my form in every game."

Gan Guoyang rarely speaks big talk in front of the media, but this time, Gan Guoyang's words are to tell everyone that he will win everything that should belong to him this season.

Back in the locker room, all the Trail Blazers players stepped forward to high-fives with Gan Guoyang, which was a kind of respect the players gave to the team's elder brother.

When Gan Guoyang quarreled with Sabonis, Sabonis had a hint of admiration in his eyes. While quarreling, he asked Gan Guoyang: "How did you do it?"

"If you play hundreds of games in this league, then if there are one or two games, you will also perform at this level." Gan Guoyang said with a smile. His words were not ironic, but encouraged Sabonis, who did not get a chance to play in this game.

Although the Trail Blazers won a big home victory in this game and the Trail Blazers played easily from the first quarter, Adelman insisted on normal rotation and did not send Sabonis to the court in the end.

In Adelman's words, such a game has no training value for Sabonis.

I don’t know what kind of game is worth training for Sabonis. If the score is anxious, will Adelman let Sabonis play?

Who knows, but Adelman has his reason for doing this. If a newcomer is not a lottery show, he will definitely have to sit on the bench for a while.

Gan Guoyang took a shower in the bathroom. At the same time, Kalp had turned on the TV and video recorder in the locker room, and arranged a large tactical whiteboard with a table posted on it, which were the data of the Trail Blazers and Suns players in this game.

Gan Guoyang quickly finished the shower and came out of the bathroom. Everything was ready.

In the locker room, all the Trail Blazers players sat around the TV and tactical whiteboards, and the evening sports program was already broadcast on the TV. Since the Trail Blazers' games are often the last start, when their game against the Suns ended, the entire NBA game day game was basically over.

In the opening game, the defending champion Detroit Pistons played against the Chicago Bulls at home. President Stern also presented the players with the championship ring at the appearance ceremony. With the cheers of the audience, the Pistons embarked on the defending journey ahead of schedule.

In the flash of the camera, Gan Guoyang caught a glimpse of Michael Jordan standing in the distance and watching the Pistons. Gan Guoyang remembered the scene when the two of them were training together in Xia Tian. Gan Guoyang knew that if he entered a field by himself, then Jordan would definitely be not far from that field.

Of course, Jordan's teammates are still much worse. Faced with the Pistons whose overall strength has reached its peak, Jordan has never been able to break through the siege.

107:94, although Jordan scored 28 points, 7 assists, 5 steals, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, he still lost to the Pistons' multi-point blossoming and played in full play, and finally lost.

After years of hardship and development, the Detroit Pistons have become a super strong team as powerful as an army, and they are also the Trail Blazers' top target opponent this season.

In other games, the Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks, while the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly beat the Dallas Mavericks with three-pointers. In addition, Gan Guoyang has no interest in other teams.

"Okay, let's start watching the video." After Gan Guoyang said that, Kalp stuffed the videotape of the game into the video recorder, and then pasted the prepared player data on the tactical whiteboard.

This is a new change for the Trail Blazers this season. It is to spend half an hour to understand the situation of other teams after each game, then review the game and rate the players in all aspects.

This scoring system was jointly formulated by Kalp and Bellman. The scoring not only depends on the players' data, but also on the team's performance when they are on the court, and the role played by the player data in the entire team.

Everything will be weighted and finally a relatively reasonable value is obtained to evaluate a player's performance in this game.

"When we were on the court, we were able to beat our opponent by 24 points and reduced our opponent's round scoring efficiency a lot. However, from the video, we can see that the key point is that our strong offense disrupted the opponent's original arrangement, causing their offense and defense to be disordered. I personally think this is a performance of the team's insufficient running-in, so the Suns' strength is not as strong as the result, and the gap with me is as big."

Kalp published his views on the game based on data and videos. Although the videos were not edited, the experienced Kalp was always able to choose the right video to support his views.

Bellman also added: "Our offense is very dynamic, but the defense does not play its due role. The Suns' low scores are more due to their incompetence and excessive pressure on the defensive end, which means they have not exerted all their strength, so we won more easily. I think our defense has not been tested enough yet."

As the team's defensive coach, some of his defensive ideas have become popular throughout the league in recent years, such as his fake joint defense tactics and his defensive trap thinking. This has led the league to gradually develop to balanced offense and defense from the fast-paced game dominated by mid-term offense in the early 1980s, and the trend of defense being stronger than offense has emerged.

Then, Kalp posted his scores for each player on the tactical whiteboard, and another staff member also posted the data of other games. This time it was Adelman's turn to speak. He had a battle report quickly compiled by the staff. He quickly analyzed the general situation of all the games, and at the same time summarized the performance of the Trail Blazers in this game, put forward his opinions and requirements.

Finally, Adelman picked out the data of the Lakers and Pistons, and posted it in the most eye-catching place, telling everyone that these two teams will be the Trail Blazers' biggest enemies.

The half-hour post-match summary is over, which will become a new routine for the Trail Blazers to start this season. Regardless of winning or losing, they must summarize experience, learn lessons, pay close attention to the trends of other teams, and ensure that players always maintain a high sense of competition.

In this regard, the Trail Blazers in the 1989 season are completely different from the Trail Blazers in the 1986 season. Every employee and player in the team is contributing their own strength to the championship.

After the coach's analysis, Gan Guoyang walked forward alone, singled out the Chicago Bulls' data, carefully looked at Jordan's data performance, and then nailed the order to his locker cabinet door with a thumbtack.
Chapter completed!
