The Golden Age of Basketball

After defeating the Rockets at home, the Blazers finally stopped their losing streak and won the next three games.

On November 11th, the away game against the Suns, the Suns ushered in the comeback of the main player Larry Nance, but this did not stop Gan Guoyang from stepping on the Arizona Veterans Memorial Stadium. With 27 points, 40 rebounds and 22 blocks, Gan Guoyang ruled again. Inside, led the Blazers to easily defeat the Suns 4:115.

Vandeweghe also played wonderfully in this game, with 32 points and 4 rebounds. It seems that he is really fighting for his big contract.

On November 11th, the Trail Blazers visited Chicago. Gan Guoyang was looking forward to this game, but the absence of Jordan reduced Gan Guoyang's fighting spirit by a few points, and the absence of Drexler also made this contest more exciting. One point less.

But Gan Guoyang still didn't stop running wildly. His offensive desire was unprecedentedly strong. It happened that he had a very good touch. Bulls center Oldham couldn't stop Gan Guoyang at all. Gan Guoyang bluntly said in the game, "Oldham, you are too Old." (Oldham's English is oldham.)

For a period of time, the Bulls tried to use rookie Charles Oakley to defend against Gan Guoyang. At this time, Oakley was not an "old oak tree", but a rookie who was newly promoted to the league. The same place - better physical fitness, especially stronger strength.

This caused some small troubles for Gan Guoyang in the second half. Oakley's defensive strategy of sticking to the bottom made Gan Guoyang very uncomfortable, making him miss consecutive hooks.

But Gan Guoyang immediately changed his strategy. He decided to drop ten times with one force, ran Oakley to the basket twice, and then succeeded in a slam dunk. Oakley could no longer stop Gan Guoyang from scoring.

Another 45-plus game, 14 points, 2 rebounds and 5 blocked shots, of course, [-] turnovers and only [-] assist, his physical strength was still tested, and his connection with his teammates was not close.

In the end, the Blazers won the game relatively easily, 121:105, with an advantage of 16 points, and won three consecutive victories.

In December, when Gan Guoyang scored 12 points and 41 rebounds on the old Gil Moore's head in the San Antonio Spurs, the entire league finally began to feel a strong shock, especially when the commentators and experts found out when watching the game, When even Jill Moore couldn't compete with Gan Guoyang in strength, they knew that an inside monster had just appeared.

This monster did not appear suddenly, on the contrary, he has been in the league for a long time, the super rookie of last season, a unique yellow man, a very good rookie season, with solid offensive and defensive skills, but still lacking in experience .

Gan Guoyang also had high-scoring explosions last season, such as 43 points against the Warriors, including a super performance of 48 points in the playoffs, but for any NBA player, there are one or two scoring explosions in a season Nothing could be more normal.

Even role players have a record of scoring [-] or [-] points in a single game. After all, God can't stop luck.

But scoring high scores in a row, especially scoring 40+ points in a row, is completely beyond what an ordinary role player can do, and it is also very difficult for ordinary stars.

The main reason why Jordan defeated Gan Guoyang in the selection of the best rookie last season was his unparalleled scoring ability. Big shock.

In comparison, Gan Guoyang's scoring ability is not bad, but there are too many ups and downs. Of course, as a center, his contribution is more reflected in the defensive end, which is also an important reason why he can help the Blazers advance so many steps.

Now, Gan Guoyang has finally thrown away the weight pack on his body and started to make a dash on the scoring end. Although the strength of the opponents in these games is average, such scoring performances are very rare in recent seasons.

"Who Can Stop Gan?" Headlines like this have begun to appear in large and small sports newspapers and magazines in the United States.

Everyone is discussing Gan Guoyang's sudden and amazing scoring phenomenon, and began to praise Gan Guoyang's dominance on the offensive end-yes, some media have begun to throw out such words, and what they are best at is exaggerating the performance of stars.

But no matter how exaggerated they are, it is based on a clear fact-Gan Guoyang is really difficult to stop on the offensive end. The last center with such energy on the offensive end was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Of course, he is still active in the league.

Abdul-Jabbar's super scoring ability stems from his superior height, wingspan, and gifted basketball skills, skyhook.

Anyone can imagine a 7-foot-2 giant, using his ape-like arms to lift the ball to the highest point when shooting, and then shoot it with ease, except for monsters like Chamberlain and Thurmond, there are Who can limit him one-on-one?

Gan Guoyang is also proficient in the sky hook, but he is not invincible because of this skill. His core competitiveness is the strength that players in the league have always been amazed at him.

Everyone knows that Gan Guoyang's strength is very good, but they don't know how good it is. Even the players who have played against him can't tell clearly. Now the facts have surfaced, and Gan Guoyang's strength has surpassed this era.

Because of this, Gan Guoyang even began to gradually reduce his strength training. Among all the talents, the improvement of strength is the easiest, and now it has overflowed. Gan Guoyang is a little worried that this will affect his feel.

Even so, no one in the league can wrestle with him, not even Moses Malone.

In addition, thanks to the guidance of Coach Lewis in the summer, Gan Guoyang has become more and more proficient in bullying "children" with his strength advantages instead of indulging in elegant hook skills.

In addition to the developed fixed-point mid-range shot and the more sophisticated face-to-basket breakthrough, it will be a matter of time before Gan Guoyang's scoring soars.

After four consecutive games with high scores and high playing time, Gan Guoyang also seemed a little tired, so on December 12, when the Trail Blazers had a day off, Gan Guoyang did not go to the training hall for additional training as usual , but decided to go to Portland University Hospital for physical therapy recovery.

Since Shui Miao came to Portland and became Gan Guoyang's personal doctor, her main job is to do physical therapy in the Sports Injury Department of the University Hospital of Portland.

Now not only Gan Guoyang will come here for physical therapy and recovery, but some Blazers players will also come to Shui Miao for treatment. Although the Blazers team doctor Cook is not a quack doctor, different doctors have different ideas. Unique, often has unexpected good results, especially he has a high attainment in the treatment of back injuries.

Vandeweghe, who has been plagued by back injuries, has recovered well under the treatment of Shui Miao. Even if it cannot be cured, it will be of great benefit to Vandeweghe's state.

"My arm seems to be a little swollen, it's the triceps. Yes, is it the top of the head?" Gan Guoyang took off his clothes in the physiotherapy room, revealing his strong body. The position of the triceps says.

"Let me take a look and tighten it up a little... Okay, there is indeed some muscle tension. It should be the blood congestion caused by continuous impact. There should be no problem, but if you are always like this, there will be something wrong with the muscles." Water Miao touched Gan Guoyang's steel-like muscles and said softly.

Getting along with Shui Miao is one of the few opportunities for Gan Guoyang to speak Chinese in the United States. Shui Miao's Chinese is better than Wang Fuxi's.

"No way, who made us do hard work? Sigh~ relax my back and triceps~ don't take pity on me~ come." Gan Guoyang lay down on the physiotherapy chair and closed himself Eyes, this time is also a good time for him to relax. "What nonsense are you talking... Get upright!" Shui Miao blushed a little after hearing Gan Guoyang's words, and she patted Gan Guoyang on the back to make him straighten his posture.

Gan Guoyang's muscles are different from those of those bodybuilders. They don't have such exaggerated lines, and the muscles don't look that big because they are covered with a layer of fat.

For inside players, fat is needed to gain weight while protecting muscles, because the confrontation inside is really fierce.

And this does not hinder Gan Guoyang's dominance in terms of strength. The inside competition does not depend on the thickness of the arms, but the strength of the torso, the size of the buttocks and the solidity of the legs.

Shui Miao touched Gan Guoyang's generous back with his hands covered with physiotherapy liquid, and he could feel the huge energy contained in it.

………………

The two hours of physiotherapy in the morning passed quickly. Gan Guoyang put on his clothes and stayed in Shui Miao's office for a while. I like to see her blushing face easily, which reminds Gan Guoyang of Wang Fuxi - although they are not the same at all.

"Okay, I'm leaving, see you next week! We're heading to the East soon, what a horrible trip..."

"See you next week! But I think I'll be able to see you on TV, and in the newspapers, which are all about you lately."

"Haha, they'll forget about me in no time, the media is a bitch... well, I'll stop swearing and I'm leaving."

With that said, Gan Guoyang opened the door and left Shui Miao's physiotherapy room.

But when Gan Guoyang went downstairs, he saw an old man in a yellow plaid suit hovering by the window—his bald head was very conspicuous.

"Mr. Ramsay? How is he here?"
