Chapter 241 The Beast Experience

Gan Guoyang and Moses Malone soon arrived at their destination, located at the University of Portland on the north bank of the Willamette River.

The University of Portland, built on an arc-shaped impact ground with the Willamette River, is a famous four-year private Catholic college in Oregon. The gymnasium here is also a commonly used training ground for Portland Trail Blazers.

In summer, the campus is when the grass and trees are lush. After a while, the school will start summer vacation. It is the final assessment period, so the gymnasium is naturally empty.

Moreover, with the results of the University of Portland this season, their basketball team also had a holiday early - the Pilots (the name of the University of Portland) ranked lower in the West Coast League regular season than Gonzaga without Gan Guoyang and Stockton.

Gan Guoyang took Ma Long to the campus gymnasium located in the northwest corner of the school. Since most American universities do not have walls and the gymnasium is at the very bottom of the campus, the two conspicuous big men do not need to cross the campus, otherwise it will definitely cause some small commotion.

After entering the gymnasium, the student who was originally playing ball inside exclaimed when he saw two giants walking into the venue.

Fortunately, it is not the first time these students have seen stars come here to practice. Every summer, NBA players from the Trail Blazers or other teams come here to train or organize small games, so they are not surprised.

However, it seems that this is the first time Moses Malone has been here to play, and it is really early at this time, and the finals are not over yet.

"Good afternoon everyone, I hope you don't mind Moses and I using the basket here! Thank you everyone." Gan Guoyang is also an "old customer" here, and he knows some of the students playing here.

However, compared with professional players like Gan Guoyang, their skills are really weak. Gan Guoyang plays with them just like playing NBA games - although there were no NBA computer games at that time.

Moses Malone is different. Although in this year's playoffs, Malone's 76ers also failed in the Eastern Conference Finals and were also swept out by the Boston Celtics with a score of 1:4, Moses Malone, who was just 29 years old this year, is still at the peak of his career.

The reason why Gan Guoyang invited Ma Long to practice football was to learn some experience from Ma Long. Even if it only took one afternoon, for Gan Guoyang, who had a strong learning ability, he still believed that he would definitely get some valuable suggestions.

Soon, the students who were originally playing in the field ran to the edge of the field and formed a circle. They wanted to take a good look at what kind of sparks could be created between the newly-rise super center this season and the former league monsters.

Gan Guoyang borrowed a ball from the people around him, and then called a student to come over and asked him to help feed the ball.

Since both of them are insiders, if you do one-on-one, you should still use back-on attack and defense in the insider, which is the most practical.

"Let me do it first, I know you want to learn how to deal with Jabbar from me. You can experience my attack well." Moses Malone said in a dull voice.

It seems that Moses Malone is not stupid at all. He knows that Gan Guoyang invites him to come and practice alone, and most of them are here to ask for tips on dealing with Jabbar, so he must first demonstrate to Gan Guoyang how to defend Jabbar like this type of center.

Gan Guoyang nodded. He did have this intention. In the Western Conference Finals, Gan Guoyang tried every means to limit Jabbar's score, including some tricks given to him by Thurmond, but the effect was not as good as he imagined.

"First of all, I want to say that I have watched the video of your game with Jabbar. In fact, you have done a good job in defense. It is a great result to limit him to only score 20 points per game." Speaking of basketball experience, Moses Malone began to talk endlessly.

"But he is already 38 years old, and he is very cautious in his shooting. Once it reaches a critical moment, he can always hit a key goal, which can't stop him at all." Gan Guoyang recalled the game a few weeks ago. Whenever the Lakers needed to score a goal to stabilize the situation, Jabbar was always the Lakers' first choice. His hook shot was too stable.

In comparison, Gan Guoyang does not have the sense of stability of strolling in the idle garden. The Lakers' strong external pressure defense prevents the Trail Blazers from even passing the ball into the inside at critical moments.

"You also know that he is 38 years old, so how can you let him have the energy to take action easily at critical moments! You have to put pressure on him on the offensive end, let's start!" Moses Malone suddenly increased his volume. When he finished speaking, he immediately walked around from behind Gan Guoyang and suddenly stuck the best offensive position under the basket.

"Carry a sudden attack!" Gan Guoyang thought for a flash, but a huge force came from Moses' body, which immediately made Gan Guoyang excited. He had not competed with players of this power level for a long time in the NBA.

"Pass, boy!" Ma Long shouted. The student standing on the field holding the ball did not expect that the two guys would start practicing as they spoke, and they were still a little stunned.

Hearing Ma Long's voice, he immediately hung the ball to Ma Long, who was thrusting hard under the basket. Ma Long held the ball in his arms with one hand, looked up at the basket above his head and Gan Guoyang's raised arms, and while dribbling the ball, he pushed his butt back with force.

Before Barkley finished his studies, Ma Long's butt should be said to be "he called second, no one dared to be the first in the NBA." Even though Gan Guoyang was steady in the lower stage and had extremely powerful strength, he could not resist Ma Long's butt magical skills and couldn't help but take a step back.

This retreat revealed space for Ma Long to move. He first spread his legs and fixed the lower plate like a crane, and then suddenly held the ball under the basket and rose up.

Ma Long's strong growth is different from other players. In Gan Guoyang's impression, many players pay great attention to the arms that the defensive players stretch out and try their best to avoid the interference of their arms. Long arms like Gan Guoyang often make their opponents return in vain when they make layups at the basket.

But Ma Long didn't care about Gan Guoyang's arm. Not only did he not hide, he pressed his arms up desperately, almost jumping up against Gan Guoyang's body.

"Bang!" The ball hit the board and Ma Long scored two points first.

"The defense is very good. In such a position, one person can't defend me." Ma Long shook his head and said after scoring the goal.

"It's not because of your sneak attack..." Gan Guoyang slandered in his heart.

"Okay, it's up to you. Let's play a few more rounds and I'll tell you some experience." Ma Long threw the ball back to the student, and then said to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang nodded, it was his turn to attack this time.

Gan Guoyang is not as "slutty" as Ma Long. He is about to get the ball in a relatively shallow position. Since entering the NBA, Gan Guoyang's position has become increasingly shallow, which is also to cooperate with the team's tactical requirements and save physical strength.

Gan Guoyang turned his back to Ma Long and the basket. Now he didn't have to worry about someone coming to attack, so he was relieved to dribble with his back and then used his back to test Ma Long's defense.

Gan Guoyang has an excellent sense of rhythm, which is one of the reasons why he was able to learn Tiangou. People without a sense of rhythm cannot control such elegant techniques.

Moses Malone was trying hard to destroy Gan Guoyang's sense of rhythm. Some of the small movements in his hands were even more unscrupulous without a referee.

"Yeah!" The cheers of the onlookers came from the sidelines. Gan Guoyang still used his left hand to turn over in the middle to score a goal.

When Ma Long defended Gan Guoyang, his tricks were exactly the same as those that Thurmond once taught Gan Guoyang, shifting to the left, blocking the hook of his right hand, and being able to quickly fill the other side.

"Your touch is amazing... Come again." Malone picked up the ball again and threw it to the student who passed the ball on the court.

In this way, the two started a fight between them and inside. At first, Gan Guoyang felt that there was no difference from his usual training, and it was more awesome except for the sparring training.

During the practice, Moses Malone became more and more silent and almost did not provide any guidance on Gan Guoyang's movements, which made Gan Guoyang begin to doubt whether this guy Ma Long had hidden his private affairs.

But after practicing, Gan Guoyang finally discovered something different.

"Hu~Hu~" When the score between the two sides became 17:15, Ma Long led Gan Guoyang two goals, and they fought for 30 rounds, Gan Guoyang had already started to breathe heavily.

For Gan Guoyang's physical strength, it is not necessarily very tiring to do such one-on-one training with Schevler during 50 times, and now he has begun to have the urge to support his knees.

Moses Malone was also out of breath, but he seemed to enjoy it.

"How about Gan? Do you understand what I mean?" Ma Long looked at Gan Guoyang's sweating profusely and said to him.

Gan Guoyang looked at Ma Long, took a bottle of water from the sidelines and handed it to Ma Long. Ma Long took the water and drank it all, wiped his mouth and continued: "Jabbar is already thirty-eight years old and is almost forty years old. He wishes he could play basketball as volleyball. It would be better that there is a net under the basket, and he can hook his hand through the net, so that he can definitely play until he is fifty. And you are only in your early twenties, full of energy and unlimited energy. You should not play volleyball, but knock down your opponent like boxing! Don't let Jabbar stretch out his hand on the defensive end to prevent you, and you should oppress him, consume his physical strength, let him foul, and let him fall to the ground. In this way, it is not that easy when he wants to use his own sky hook on the offensive end."

After hearing this, Gan Guoyang completely understood the purpose of Moses Malone's one-on-one training. He wanted to tell Gan Guoyang that consumption is the best way to deal with Jabbar.

Indeed, technically speaking, one-on-one on the field, Jabbar is already in a state of no solution. Whether or not he enters depends on his feel. It is almost impossible for the defense to limit the Sky Gou in terms of skills.

But from the perspective of the whole game, constantly attacking Jabbar and consuming the "old man"'s physical strength at both ends of the offense and defense is the best way to limit his strength.

In fact, Thurmond used tireless hand-to-hand combat to become one of the best players to defend Jabbar. Now, Moses Malone not only consumes Jabbar on the defensive end, but also uses fierce basket movements to damage Jabbar's physical strength.

"If you are not as good as your opponent in other aspects, then attack the opponent mentally and physically. God is fair in both aspects." Moses Malone said the most reasonable thing in his life.
