Chapter 71 Rock-Baby

Gan Guoyang hasn't dunk like this for a long time.

Unlike many young players, Gan Guoyang is a player with a 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 Bellman, are often infected and moved by Gan Guoyang's passion on the court.

Gan Guoyang's passion is reflected in his ubiquitousness in defense, in his continuous explosive scores during offense, in his timely Answer-ball.

Also his exaggerated body movements and verbal encouragement to his teammates always make those who watch him play quickly attracted by this unique yellow-skinned player.

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

Ever since Gan Guoyang discovered the second secret about talent through crazy practice of dunking, he began to use his dunk with caution.

Because he knew that if he dunked too much, he would naturally get tired of it. Especially for a player like him who had few dunks, he could only use his full strength at the right time in the game to maximize the energy of this passionate scoring method.

This is what makes Gan Guoyang different from other young college students. There are two memories in his soul. He knows how to think about his talents, and he also knows to apply the experience and knowledge learned from later generations to basketball games and current life.

Therefore, when Gan Guoyang used such a dunk to kill the Blue Crows' basket to the point where he could not bear the ball, he understood that his purpose of dunking was achieved.

For some players who like to dunk, dunk is nothing more than two points in addition to being interesting and enjoyable; for Gan Guoyang, this is not just two points, nor is it just a performance, but a way to make the team turn around.

Although Gan Guoyang only had a vague feeling about the "momentum" of the game, he could feel that there was such a "momentum" on the court. When the team "gets the power", he can shoot whatever he wants, and all kinds of tactics can be opened, and he can often achieve a climax.

When the team "losts the power", drinking cold water can also stuff the teeth; if you don't shoot at an open space, you don't make a simple layup, make frequent mistakes, and rotate poorly. All kinds of problems spread to every player like infectious diseases.

Take the current Bulldogs team for example. They are in a state of losing power. Fortunately, their opponent Blue Crow is not much better. Both sides are cracking hammers and beat the drums, and they don’t sound anyway.

Gan Guoyang, who had slowly figured out some tricks about the "momentum" on the field, knew that at this time, he should use an inspiring score to stabilize the morale of the army and then sound the horn of counterattack.

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

This ball not only made the Bulldogs' bench boil instantly, but even the fans at the Blue Crow's home court began to applaud Gan Guoyang. They did not expect that this yellow-skinned center could have such a wonderful performance.

"Did you see it? Mr. Strathor, this guy has such magic. Although he doesn't look like he jumps too high and the dunk is simple, he is so exciting. When I first watched him dunk on the streets of Inglewood, I knew that this Chinese was definitely not an ordinary player." Falke promoted Gan Guoyang who was free throws on the court like a salesman.

"Oh, I think I'll take a look again. You know, this kind of risk is really huge. Putting investment in a player type that has never been proven to be successful is more unsettling than investing in the young man in North Carolina." He had stood up and applauded Gan Guoyang before and said that he was the one who "can change everything" and sat down again.

Obviously, he is making a difficult decision, a decision that concerns the life and death of a group.

"You are right, but this is the investment. The more unknown the field, the greater the rewards will be after success, because competitors dare not take action. And for your company, it is time to take certain risks." At this time, another person who seemed to be accompanying Falke and Mr. Strathor said.

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

Falke stopped talking. He knew that the most important thing now was not his words, but Gan Guoyang's performance on the court. Only Gan Guoyang's performance can impress the manager beside him.

He wished Gan Guoyang would dunk again immediately, and it would be better if the rebounds were smashed, so there would definitely be no problem.

After Gan Guoyang successfully made a free throw, he devoted himself to the defense. It was not enough to just use dunks to increase morale and turn the trend. He had to be able to curb the opponent in defense and then make a quick counterattack to completely burn the momentum.

The Bulldogs at the beginning used the most conservative man-to-man defense, but Bellman assigned a task to Gan Guoyang, which was to easily not leave the three-second zone. If the opponent's inside line could go out for a central shot, he would make the shot.

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

Benjamin, who had just been detained by Gan Guoyang Yan, was full of anger. When he returned to the offensive end, he was anxious and wanted to return one of the opponent, so he began to desperately take the position at the low position on the right.

This time, Gan Guoyang did not use the front to stop Benjamin from asking for the ball, but instead held No. 00 behind his back. It seems that Gan Guoyang is also preparing to play with him in a dignified manner so that his opponent can feel at ease.

When Benjamin finally brought the ball to the low post, the audience on the court began to boil and began to shout "Come-on"! Motivate to return to Gan Guoyang.

The other players also pulled away from each other, allowing the two inside monsters to confront the Cavaliers.

Unfortunately, Benjamin used the ball twice and pushed it hard, but found that it could not be pushed. When he was about to turn around and crush it in with his body, Gan Guoyang behind him seized the opportunity with his long arm and poked the ball that Benjamin had not protected enough.

After the ball fell to the ground, Gan Guoyang relied on his wingspan advantage and, while the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, he hugged the ball and rammed it at Stockton who was rushing forward.

The Bulldogs launched a counterattack!

In this regard, I have to say that a bug existed in Gan Guoyang is relatively thin and flexible, but his strength is stronger than that of the tall and strong Benjamin.

So he was able to free up his hand to break the ball while holding up Benjamin.

After the steal was successful, Gan Guoyang immediately stood up and headed straight for the frontcourt to participate in the fast attack.

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

But Matthews had no chance to face the double-team of two players returning to defense in the frontcourt, so he immediately passed the ball to Gan Guoyang who was inserted from the back of the right.

Only one of the opponent's small forwards was following Gan Guoyang, and Benjamin had long been left behind.

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

Gan Guoyang took advantage of the situation and clamped the ball between his forearm and wrist.

Basketball and Gan Guoyang's arms merged into one!

He ran with his arms waving as if he hadn't got the ball!

One, two, take off!

At this time, the right arm that was swung to the rear was swinging a big loop from bottom to top, and Gan Guoyang took the ball to the highest point as he jumped!

The opponent's small forward has given up the interference!

"Bang!"

A lightning-like 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 on the scene was already crazy.

At this time, the Blue Crows players no longer know whose home court it was.

Because almost all the fans were cheering, cheering for this yellow-skinned player who had never seen him from afar.

If it were other teams in the same Omaha area, no matter what wonderful performances their players had, the fans would not react at all.

But the Gonzaga Bulldogs are different. This team from the Northwest Coast is more of a guest than an opponent, and this game is more like a warm-up match.

The most important thing is that this dunk is beyond everyone’s imagination. This is a reappearance of Dr. J, on a 6-foot-10 Chinese!

This guy is not Larry Nance!

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

The fans at the scene all turned against each other and cheered for the opponent's goals, and the crazy spirit seemed to have won the NCAA championship.

Willis Reed shook his head on the sidelines and had to call a timeout to calm down his players and fans on the scene.

In fact, not only the Blue Crow needs to be calm, but the Bulldog is also crazy.

When Gan Guoyang dunked into this basket, the first thing all players wanted to do was not to return to defense, but to knock 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, calm down." Bellman kept using "Clam-down" to comfort the players on the sidelines, but obviously he was a little excited. Can anyone not be excited with such a dunk?

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

He did see this kind of dunk in later generations. It was the shocking steal fast break dunk performed by Dr. J in the finals in 1983, this year. With his amazing coordination and beautiful steps, he performed an insurmountable classic performance in the history of dunks.

The TV station's commentator used "Rock-The-Baby" to describe this wonderful slam dunk.

What such a dunk most requires is not bounce and strength, but extremely outstanding coordination, excellent steps and great palms.

If ordinary people do this kind of move during the game, they either walk or lose the ball, so this is the only example of such dunks in NBA history.

But now, Gan Guoyang has presented such a classic "Rock-the-Baby" to all the audiences at an unknown invitational tournament in Omaha, the farm. How can fans not go crazy? How can they not turn against each other?

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Mr. Strathus, what are you still hesitating? Do you still doubt my words? Look at his performance and see the audience's reaction. Oh my God, I think I'm almost crazy." Falk himself also had an incredible expression and said to Strathus next to him.

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

"Haha, it seems that it was the right decision for me to invite this team to Omaha. I also saw something unique in him, something that investors would notice." The third person next to him said with a smile, and he seemed very calm.

"You always have such a unique vision, Mr. Buffett." Falke immediately complimented when he heard the man's words.

This person is the American stock god, Buffett.

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

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

Their purpose of organizing this game was another person, Robert Strathor and his company, Nike.

In fact, Nike in the 1980s was full of crisis. On the one hand, it was suppressed by the then boss Converse in the United States, and on the other hand, it was run by Reebok. There was also the strong enemy Adidas overseas.

In order to find ways for the company to grow and grow, Nike must find another way and find 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, and Dr. J. Irving's sneakers were all Converse, and the US basketball shoe market was also monopolized by Converse.

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

At this time, David Falke entered their eyes.

The new force, who has shined in the agent industry in recent years, just helped No. 1 pick James Worthy win Converse's sneaker contract this year.

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

However, David Falke hopes that Nike can sign two people at the same time, one of whom is a very unique but outstanding center.

Of course, Nike CEO Strathor cannot listen to the Jewish verbal white teeth. He must inspect the two players himself.

The first player, the No. 23 in North Carolina, is already famous for the shooting guard across the United States. He has no doubts. After a little understanding, he basically made a decision and waited for this kid to enter the NBA.

Another man, Falke said, was a Chinese boy! And he had been delayed for a year of competition because of transferring school. He had just started participating in the official competition this year. He was quite famous in California, but he was unknown in the United States.

Therefore, he had to go to the scene to watch the Chinese boy's game.

Just so happened that Buffett, a big venture capitalist, took a fancy to Nike, the fish in the pool, and thought that it would turn into a dragon in the future. So he arranged an invitational match in his hometown of Omaha, where he paid for the cost.

This led to this inexplicable game in Gan Guoyang's opinion, but he didn't know that in just 7 minutes of the game, he had passed the test that he didn't know and became a key figure who changed the fate of many physical objects.
