(I was in a hurry yesterday, and I was criticized for writing. But like the protagonist, I will never retreat before criticism. Today, I will update two times.)

When Gan Guoyang was wearing a blue training suit and standing on the floor of the Lakers training hall, it was difficult to suppress his excitement. He finally had the opportunity to play with the Lakers superstars.

At noon, during the Lakers' training interval, Gan Guoyang met Jabbar who came out of the stadium to have a meal. Of course, Jabbar knew this UCLA's "traitor", the second-place center this year.

Jabbar did not dislike Gan Guoyang because of his "rebellion" towards UCLA, and still enthusiastically invited him and Drexler to have a buffet in the hotel next to the stadium.

Of course, Gan Guoyang also met "Magician" Johnson and Lakers coach Pat Riley because of this.

Out of Gan Guoyang's imagination, Johnson and Riley were surprisingly cold, and just nodded to Gan Guoyang and ignored them.

Even Jabbar talked very little during the meal, and it seemed that the morning training made him very tired.

In Gan Guoyang's impression, "Magician" Johnson has always been friendly and enthusiastic. When he watched the Lakers game at the Great Western Conference Forum, he could always see the Magician's bright smile and exaggerated movements.

He is also very popular among fans.

"Maybe it was the defeat in this year's finals that made him so serious?" Gan Guoyang looked at the magician standing beside him at this time, staring at the basket opposite with a serious face.

Gan Guoyang and Drexler were fortunate to join the Lakers' team match in the afternoon. Gan Guoyang was assigned to the Magician group, while Drexler was with Jabbar.

"Riley, do you think it's okay to let these two Trail Blazers guys come to us for training?" asked Bill Bateka, the Lakers' assistant coach on the sidelines.

"I was very upset when I saw their confident look. Do you understand? They thought the NBA was just a game. Humph, I want them to see it." said Pat Riley, who was standing aside with a big back with a large oily back.

Gan Guoyang looked at Riley standing on the sidelines. Riley had only been the Lakers' head coach for three years and was still very young, but his face was already showing a cunning look.

"Concentrate your attention, the competition is about to begin!" Gan Guoyang heard the magician's reminder, and his tone of being very rude.

"no problem."

The Lakers' team training game began in the afternoon. Both sides did not jump the ball, but the Magicians took the lead in attacking.

Gan Guoyang started running on the court, of course he was a little confused, because the Lakers were completely unfamiliar to him. Although he had watched many Lakers games, it felt completely different when he came to the court.

He didn't know where to run, whether to fight against Jabbar at the low post, or to cover the magician at the high post?

But as a semi-professional player, Gan Guoyang has the minimum tactical qualities, and at this time he heard the magician shouting on the outside.

"Bottom line and bottom line! Don't stand stupidly!"

Gan Guoyang knew that he should go around the bottom line on the other side to make room for the Magician's breakthrough pass to pass the ball on the right.

So he quickly slipped from the bottom line from the right to the left, leaving a large space for the right; but Jabbar did not follow Gan Guoyang, and he knew that the defense on the right could not be taken away so easily.

Gan Guoyang reached the left and turned around and was about to see what was going on on the court, but found that a basketball was rushing towards him!

Gan Guoyang did not expect the Magician to pass the ball at all. In fact, there was indeed a small gap at the basket while he was slipping through the bottom line, but Gan Guoyang himself did not notice it.

Caught off guard, the ball hit Gan Guoyang's hand and fell out of the bottom line.

"Concentrate your attention! I fucking told you, focus! This is not a college basketball game, this is the NBA." Magic Johnson scolded unceremoniously.

This is different from the magician Johnson that Gan Guoyang usually recognizes. Johnson is as funny, so humorous and approachable as Johnson in media interviews.

And today he seemed to have taken gunpowder on the training ground.

"I just didn't prepare. I didn't expect your pass to be so fast..." Gan Guoyang tried to defend himself while returning to defense.

"Although you are not a Lakers player, if you can't catch my pass, I don't mind hitting the ball on your head, rookie." The Magician was completely uninterested in Gan Guoyang's explanation and directly interrupted him.

Gan Guoyang ate a slap in the magician and didn't know how to answer. His perception of the magician suddenly decreased a lot.

But I don't have time to compete with the magician, and the opponent has already attacked.

What Gan Guoyang has to face is "Tian Gou" Jabbar.

The groupings on both sides are actually very targeted. The Magicians group includes Gan Guoyang, James Worthy, Michael Cooper and Mike McGee. This is a quick group.

In the group of Jabbar, there are Drexler, Jamal Wilkes, Byron Scott and Bob McAdu, which is a slow group.

Riley deliberately assigned center Gan Guoyang to the fast-raid group and Drexler to the slow-raid group, just to teach these two Trail Blazers newcomers who suddenly emerged.

Jabbar is in the low position, and this position is very straight, and one foot has already entered the three-second zone.

The outside ball was also very fast. After receiving the ball, Jabbar looked left and right and left, and no one double-teamed it. He turned around and hooked his left hand.

"Swish!" The ball entered.

The whole move was completed in one go. During this process, Gan Guoyang failed to see Jabbar's face. After the ball entered, Jabbar retreated and ran away.

"How the hell do you defend! Go around!" The magician yelled at Gan Guoyang again.

During the defense, Gan Guoyang was completely crushed by Jabbar. From being blocked to turning to hooking, Gan Guoyang felt like a wooden stake and did nothing.

Because everything was too fast, the entire Lakers' offense and defense were so fast. Even Jabbar, who was already 37, had such agility in his running position, position and shooting, so fast Gan Guoyang had no time to react.

"That little guy was a little confused. He didn't know what to do on the court." Better said on the sidelines.

"Hmph, he will be even more confused in a while." Riley still looked cold.

Back in the offense, Gan Guoyang found that the Lakers were advancing at an astonishing speed. As soon as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's ball entered, Worthy immediately served the ball to the Magician.

Gan Guoyang was still recalling the defense just now, and the Magic had dribbled the ball for half.

"Hurry! Gan, what the hell are you doing! Hurry! Do you think you are here for a tour walk?" Riley shouted on the sidelines.

Gan Guoyang came to his senses and immediately ran towards the frontcourt.

At this time, Gan Guoyang understood that he was not here to practice and play, but to truly experience the training of the strongest team in the NBA.

In just one round, Gan Guoyang began to understand the gap between him and the highest-level players on the court - he was too slow.

Gan Guoyang's running speed was not slow, and his reaction was not slow either, but he was used to games in college where there was no 24-second offensive time limit. There was always enough time for them to sway on the field, with sufficient thinking and preparation time to do every move and run every tactic.

When he arrived in the NBA, although he had two months of training, Gan Guoyang improved his skills and physical fitness, and his awareness and experience did not improve because he did not have any contact with real NBA games.

Now, in the extremely intense Lakers training, Gan Guoyang began to experience "what is the NBA" for the first time.

"Cover!" The magician summoned the cover on the outside. As the only inside lineup in their lineup, Gan Guoyang naturally had to mention the high position to cover the magician.

The one who defends Johnson is Gan Guoyang's Trail Blazers teammate, Deluxler. Now the two have been divided into different teams.

Relying on Gan Guoyang's cover, the magician easily got rid of Drexler and rushed to the inside with big strides.

Just when Gan Guoyang thought the Magician was going to make a layup directly and he was ready to grab the frontcourt rebound, the Magician suddenly passed the ball to the right and passed the ball to Cooper, who was ambushing the baseline.

Cooper hit a two-pointer with his hand, and the entire offensive process did not exceed 15 seconds.

Seeing that his teammate scored a goal, Gan Guoyang immediately retreated and stared at Jabbar while running back to the backcourt.

"This guy seems to be a little aware of what he should do." Riley said from the side, and his expression on his face also loosened a little.

At this time, Drexler's life was not easy.

Defending China, he has to face Magic Johnson. He has no advantage in terms of height, strength, weight, or experience.

The only thing he has the advantage is his speed and bounce, but this has almost no effect in the outside defense.

When he was on the offense, his team was centered on Jabbar and attacked on the position, which made Drexler, who liked to rush and beat hard, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Shoot!Shoot!" (shoot, shoot!)

During the offense, Jabbar was defended by Gan Guoyang from the front, and the ball could not reach Jabbar.

After several passes, Drexler, who was ambushing the bottom line on the right, got the ball, and there was no defender in front of him.

Since the fast attack team only has Gan Guoyang, and his height is not good, everyone else should pay attention to helping Gan Guoyang attack Jabbar.

In this way, Drexler's first team often has the opportunity to shoot with a point guard, which is also the benefit of having a super center team.

"Bang!" Drexler took a shot, but the ball hit the left side of the basket. The ball was too strong.

"What's going on with this guy's shooting? His shooting posture is really strange. It was like this last year. Did Ramsey still not let him correct it this summer?" Riley muttered.

Drexler has always had problems with his shooting. He always likes to put the ball at his waist before shooting, and then lift it up, which makes his shot preparation time very long.

At the same time in the air, he always had to bend his legs backward to maintain his body balance, which made his jump shot look weird.

Drexler actually has some accurate shots in mid-range shots, but he relies very much on the overall rhythm. Once the rhythm is damaged, his shooting percentage will be very bad.

And shooting when catching the ball in an open position is obviously not his shooting habits.

Seeing that Drexler failed to make a shot, Gan Guoyang was preparing to catch the rebound and launch a fast break.

He saw the ball in front of him, and he could get it with his hand, but when he jumped in the air, he felt his neck being pushed hard, and the person instantly lost his balance.

"Bee!" The referee on the sidelines blew the whistle and the opponent committed a foul.

Gan Guoyang fell to the ground and felt his neck hurt so much. He must have been pushed by the other party's elbow.

Except for Drexler, no one came up to ask Gan Guoyang if there was anything wrong. Even Jabbar just patted Gan Guoyang on the head and signaled him to stand up as soon as possible.

Gan Guoyang suddenly felt angry. He didn't mind fierce confrontation during training, but he hated the feeling of being knocked down. In addition, he had almost no presence on the court since the start of the training match, which made him extremely annoyed.

He stood up suddenly, looked around, and shouted loudly, "Which bastard is attacking behind his back!"

All Lakers players, including their coaches, were a little confused. Who did this guy treat him as?

"It's me, rookie, who do you think you are?" Someone said, it was the power forward on the opposite side, No. 11, who had the same number as Gan Guoyang, and Bob McCardu.

"You'd better be careful, I can beat you up at any time." Gan Guoyang saw the "destroyer", and he said without any concern that this was in the Lakers' field, pointing at his nose.

"Don't fucking nonsense, novices, when I got the MVP, you Chinese were still eating shit." McAdu said with disdain. He once won the NBA regular season MVP in 1975. It can be said that he was also the top star in the NBA in the 1970s.
