Chapter 270 Not a single point
After a summer of hard work, Gan Guoyang Neng felt that his strength level had improved.
At that time, NBA strength training had not reached the highest level, and players' strength training was often still at a relatively shallow level, but Gan Guoyang realized the importance of scientific strength training like a "predictable" approach.
In the summer, he took time to coach Lewis to consult a professor in the Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Houston to learn more about the inner rules of muscle movement from him.
Therefore, in strength training, Gan Guoyang began to pay more attention to his core strength training, that is, balance exercises for the large muscle groups of the trunk such as waist, abdomen, back and buttocks - rather than traditional resistance exercises.
Due to the lack of professional coaching guidance, Gan Guoyang felt that the improvement effect could not be particularly satisfactory. However, after the regular season began, Gan Guoyang had already realized that his strength level was more than one level higher than other players - even though his body shape did not seem to have changed a lot.
Gan Guoyang made a powerful slam dunk in the fast break, and the basket was obviously deformed by him. He let go of his hand and the basket bounced back suddenly, and the nets were shattered onto the basket.
"Hey, 9, 6, it's only three points away." After returning to the backcourt, Gan Guoyang patted Carol and said to him.
Carol was naturally furious when he heard this, especially Gan Guoyang's plain tone and expressionless face. In addition, this guy is still a yellow man, Carol felt his brain was quickly congested, so he must put one on Gan Guoyang's head!
At this time, Gan Guoyang will no longer defend Carol by the front. After all, it is very physically exhausting. Gan Guoyang now knows how to master the rhythm of defense. He feels that Carol's offensive rhythm should have been destroyed.
The Warriors still focused their offense on Carol. He was about to get to the position at the low post on the right and began to reach out for the ball.
"Don't worry about him, let me do it!" Gan Guoyang saw Drexler approaching here intentionally or unintentionally. He knew that Drexler wanted to attack him, so he shouted.
Larry Smith made a transition in the middle receiving ball, and Carol moved inward while being more inclined toward the middle.
Smith hesitated for a few moments, and under Sampson's interference, he still hung the ball to Carol.
Carol suddenly started the moment he received the ball, and turned over and leaned back and jumped!
His starting speed was extremely fast, but his jump was obviously insufficient because his lower plate was too dead by Gan Guoyang, and it was difficult to exert force.
"Bang!" Carol thought that relying on his long arms, height, and leaning back, the ball could be at least shot. As a result, Gan Guoyang pressed the ball down with one hand, and Carol didn't even get it.
After the ball landed, there was chaos in the three-second zone. Many people fell to the ground to grab the ball. In the end, Gan Guoyang and Tiger formed a group, and the referee called for the ball to compete.
This was a successful defense. Gan Guoyang was helped up by his teammates and brigades with them one by one.
Gan Guoyang just made some small moves when defending Carol alone. He stuck his feet slightly between Carol's feet and pressed his whole body forward.
In this way, even if Carol used a backward jump shot, he did not avoid Gan Guoyang's block because of insufficient jump, which eventually led to a situation of contending for the ball.
Teager and Gan Guoyang were naturally free to win the ball. Gan Guoyang easily jumped the ball and the Trail Blazers obtained the offensive ball. At this time, the score between the two sides was 40:35, and the Trail Blazers led by 5 points.
Then the Trail Blazers began to show their talent crush on the Warriors. Each of the five players on the field had strong personal abilities and only needed some simple cooperation to get a scoring opportunity.
In addition, the feel of the main lineup has been fully restored, and the Warriors have begun to become only able to resist but not have the power to fight back.
Carol was even more miserable. Since he scored nine points in the first quarter, he missed the attack repeatedly since he came on the second quarter. Gradually, the Warriors began to adjust the focus of the offense to the outside line, and no longer gave Carol a chance to play singles.
Without singles opportunities, Gan Guoyang also won the backcourt rebounds one by one, and he had no chance to grab the frontcourt rebounds for a second attack.
Once he was unable to score, the old No. 1 pick was stripped of the Warriors' system. You should know that he suddenly parachuted back to the Warriors this season, and last season the Warriors had become accustomed to tactical play around the outside.
Carol's arrival can only be said to enrich the Warriors' tactics and gave the Warriors more scoring methods, but did not bring qualitative changes to the Warriors' offensive and defensive tactics.
Carol, who could not provide inside scores, became a big telephone pole that ran back and forth on the court. On the defensive end, Gan Guoyang relied on his strength to eat him alone, and he had no choice.
The only thing Carol could do was to make a foul and send Gan Guoyang to the free throw line. Gan Guoyang's performance on the free throw line in the first half was not so satisfactory.
Even so, Gan Guoyang still handed in the first half a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, and suppressed Carol without a single point in the second quarter.
"16,9." When the midfield whistle sounded, Gan Guoyang did not forget to remind Carol about the current scoring comparison.
In the locker room at the halftime, the leading Trail Blazers players were in a good mood, but one of them was picked up by Ramsey and asked alone.
Gan Guoyang saw that Colt was pulled into the medical room by Ramsey, and he knew that Colt would definitely be criticized.
In the first half, Colt once again contributed 0 data, 0 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists in his limited playing time, and did not even have a foul or a mistake.
Of course, such performance cannot satisfy Ramsey, so Porter once again replaced Cort as the main substitute and performed well.
"Clyde, what's wrong with this guy Steve? Where did he go in summer? Have you lost all his skills?" Gan Guoyang approached Drexler and asked. Drexler was using the instrument to recover from his injured part at this time.
Drexler looked at Gan Guoyang, smiled and said nothing, and then shook his head.
Gan Guoyang looked at Drexler's expression and felt strange. Did he ask any stupid questions?
Soon Cort walked out dejectedly, and Ramsey also looked angry, as if the conversation had not achieved any major results.
Gan Guoyang decided to chat with Corte after the game and see what happened.
The second half was about to begin soon. Ramsey made some adjustments to the tactical arrangement during the halftime break. He asked Gan Guoyang to reduce the interference with the Warriors' outside and continue to block Carol with all his strength.
Ramsey has discovered that Carol is in a disconnect with the Warriors in the game, and he has no way to integrate into the Warriors' offense.
Once the one-on-one single is locked, Carol has no way to play, which is also the pain of running-in that the Warriors must experience at the beginning of the season.
Ramsey wants to seize this weakness of the Warriors and turn it into 4-for-5 on the field, destroying one of the Warriors' important leg and let them jump with one leg.
Facts have long proved that the Warriors cannot beat the Trail Blazers by relying on the outside. Last season, the Trail Blazers maintained a complete victory against the Warriors.
Facing the cheers of the fans on the scene, the Trail Blazers and the Warriors returned to the court, and the half-time scores on both sides had become 56:45, with the Trail Blazers leading by 11 points.
At the beginning of the second half, the Trail Blazers did not give the Warriors a chance to catch their breath, and Drexler and Van derwich began to take turns to score points by relying on singles.
In the two games this season, the Trail Blazers have played a lot more singles, which is also an improvement opinion put forward by assistant coach Adelman. He believes that in some cases, the individual singles of regular season players may be more efficient than running tactical, which will be more obvious in the playoffs.
Ramsey unexpectedly adopted Adelman's opinion and began to design singles tactics more for talented players on the team, giving them more opportunities to show their singles skills.
I don’t know why the stubborn old man Ramsey is so "enlightened".
I have to say that Drexler's singles level has indeed made great progress this season, and he has also begun to learn to use his advantages in strength and bounce to eat Tiger alone in succession.
At the same time, he can also assist Gan Guoyang and Sampson, turning the Warriors' already broken inside line upside down.
Van dervich doesn't have to say that his shooting skills are perfect. He relies on screens within the three-point line and then shoots directly, and his shooting percentage is surprisingly high.
The two of them attacked in turn, and beat the Warriors all over the ground in the third quarter.
Gan Guoyang still focused on harassing Carol for 100 years and remained unwavering. He didn't care about his own data. He just wanted to hold on to Carol to prevent him from receiving the ball and scoring. Even if other Warriors players rushed into the inside, Gan Guoyang didn't care much and let him score a layup.
In this case, Carol didn't score a single point in the second half!
The Warriors, who had lost the quarter inside and outside, gradually could not keep up with the Trail Blazers, and were thrown farther and farther. Finally, at the end of the third quarter, when the Trail Blazers called for a timeout to replace the substitute, the Warriors were already 20 points behind their opponents with 75:95.
The Trail Blazers beat the Warriors at 39:30 in the third quarter.
Seeing that there was no suspense in the game, Ramsey replaced Cardiville Jones and Ken Johnson at the end of the bench to spend the garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Steve Colt also got the chance to play, but he once again disappointed Ramsey. He played for six minutes in the fourth quarter and actually contributed only two assists and two rebounds, two turnovers and four fouls!
At the same time, he handed over a big zero egg in scoring, but he didn't get a single point.
Chapter completed!
