If someone recorded this three-on-three training match, it would definitely be a classic basketball video with Gan Guoyang and Jordan's one-on-one single match (Chapter 253 - a real opponent).

One is a one-on-one booth, which includes various single-handed challenges from the outside and inside. Two young people who have just entered the NBA have not yet completely drained from the street blood flowing from the body. This one-on-one single-handed challenge is not the strongest one in the two, but it is very likely to be the best-looking single-handed challenge.

The other is the ultimate three-on-three cooperation. Although the three Soviet players who were rivals Gan Guoyang and Sabonis, although they lack strength, they have an excellent sense of cooperation.

In the first three-for-three half, due to the smaller number of people on the field and the larger space, many very clever and small cooperation can be performed on the field. At the beginning of the game, three Soviet players played very well.

Among them, the two important players in the Soviet team, defender Matthew Leonis and second center, and Alexander Volkov, who is 6-foot-11, are not much lower in the Soviet team than Sabonis. In the game against the United States, their performance was even better than Sabonis.

The two of them cooperated very skillfully. The three-on-three wide space gave the two the opportunity to fully play, pick-and-roll, inward cut, and perfect ball diving. Although Gan Guoyang moved quickly and had enough strength, the three-on-three people were too few and the space was too large, so he could not cover all ranges.

In such a game, the role of the defensive party's personal ability is weakened, while the role of the offensive party's cooperation is magnified. In addition, Sabonis and Gan Guoyang overlap, and Gan Guoyang's position is actually behind Leonis's team as soon as they come up.

The team was behind and scored consecutive goals by the opponent. In the half-time game, they didn't even have the right to attack, but Gan Guoyang was not anxious or impatient. After defending the opponent's attack, he did not start to use his personal ability to attack the inside.

If he chooses to attack, Volkov will not be able to stop him at all, but then the game will lose its meaning.

Gan Guoyang chose to cooperate with Sabonis and another Soviet player. With someone defending in front of him, Gan Guoyang would never force his attack.

At the beginning, the three of them cooperated quite unfamiliarly, and they wasted several attacking powers. They were hit several times in a row by their opponents, and the score gap began to widen.

When the score between the two sides became 20:6, Gan Guoyang was already 7 goals behind Leonis, and the offensive power was still in the hands of Leonis.

Leonis continued to attack, unlike the NBA's style of play at that time. Although pick-and-roll is an extremely important tactic in the NBA, it has not yet reached the point where almost every attack is initiated by pick-and-roll decades later.

As the representative of international basketball, pick-and-roll was their most important tactical origin. In the 7 goals he scored, Matthew Leonis would play pick-and-roll with Volkov and another player to run, and then according to the situation, Matthew Leonis would make a choice.

Because Sabonis doesn't go against Volkov, he has to deal with another Soviet player. That guy is a winger and has very strong running ability. His match with Sabonis makes Sabonis very uncomfortable. He can't keep up with him. If he doesn't go to the three-on-three matches, it's too easy to miss someone.

But soon, Gan Guoyang team found a way to deal with it, that is, let Sabonis deal with his old inside partner Volkov and let his defender deal with the opponent's winger.

Then, let Gan Guoyang deal with Matthew Leonis himself.

Matthew Leonis is 6-foot-5, 1-meter-96, playing as a guard. He is a tall guard in the international arena. He is a left-handed, has excellent shooting, and his breakthrough pace is extremely tricky. It is the "European Step" that was not popular in the NBA at that time. Even the best defensive player like Gan Guoyang was tricked by Matthew Leonis once by using the time difference and made him successfully layup.

This time, Gan Guoyang directly faced him, and Matthew Leonis was not that comfortable.

Matthew Leonis had just made a pick-and-roll with Volkov, and Gan Guoyang directly chose to squeeze through the blocker, and then quickly approached and pressed Matthew Leonis.

Gan Guoyang's move was very standard in squeezing. He first stretched his foot and then moved over. During this period, he did not "bump" but "squeezed". So if there was a referee, he would basically not be called a foul.

Such a push-through defensive move is often used by a small point guard when defending pick-and-roll, but Gan Guoyang is proficient in it. This is entirely due to Bellman's strict requirements, which requires Gan Guoyang to be familiar with all the tricks in defense.

At this time, Bellman was standing on the sidelines watching their game. He knew that Gan Guoyang was about to start exerting his strength.

After squeezing Volkov with his small skills, Gan Guoyang immediately showed the oppressive defense skills that the inside line had. He blocked Matthew Leonis' dribbling space and passing route very well.

Matthew Leonis did not expect Gan Guoyang to move so quickly and fiercely, and subconsciously held the ball with both hands to protect the ball, which resulted in a dead ball.

Matthew Leonis could not pass the ball or get the ball, and the other two players were stared at.

At this time, a major advantage of the defensive side in the three-on-three matches is reflected. Once there is a problem with the offensive side, the teammates' response will definitely not be timely because there are not enough people.

Matthew Leonis had no choice but to throw the ball to Volkov. As a result, Sabonis, who was half a head taller than Volkov, pressed over Volkov, stretched his feet and tiptoed, and caught the ball into his hand.

Gan Guoyang team once again got an offensive opportunity. Since the three-point line was still not adopted in the Olympics field, the ball needed to be transported back to the middle circle when the offense and defense were converted, and then the offense was launched again.

When Sabonis grabbed the ball, the Gan Guoyang people had already run to the center circle. Sabonis waved his hand and the ball flew towards Gan Guoyang.

After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang clicked in the middle circle, turned around and dribbled for two steps, and another long pass handed the ball back to Sabonis, who was standing in the horn position.

The ball stayed in Sabonis's hands for no more than two seconds, and then it suddenly reached the hands of the guard teammate who cut the basket.

But the defender teammate did not make a layup directly because the opponent was still staring very closely, and Matthew Leonis also came forward to make up for the defense. So the defender teammate suddenly passed the ball with a low hand, passing the ball from the left to the right, and cutting into Gan Guoyang with a diagonal line!

Matthew Leonis reacted, turned around and watched Gan Guoyang rush over, and immediately stood at the basket with his hands raised. He was not trying to surrender, but wanted to cause Gan Guoyang to foul.

Gan Guoyang did not break through and layup after receiving the ball. If he had made a strong shot, he would have only one result: he dunked and knocked Matthew Leonis half dead.

But he passed the ball!

He also passed the ball with a low hand and handed it to Sabonis who was inserted from the middle!

Sabonis received the ball, and Matthew Leonis didn't have time to turn around this time, so he could only lower his head and dodge!

"Bang!" Sabonis made a powerful dunk with one hand!

A perfect cooperation, three people, four passes, the ball was in each person's hands for no more than two seconds. This was not like basketball, but more like volleyball, and Sabonis completed the smash.

This smash sounded the clarion call for Gan Guoyang team to counterattack.

Sabonis and Gan Guoyang are both players with superb basketball IQ. After playing for several rounds in the same team, they immediately became familiar with the opponent's playing characteristics. They started to stand on the defensive end and cooperated very unfamiliar on the offensive end, but after a few minutes of running-in, they actually began to adapt to each other.

Sabonis truly understood what a "high-level basketball experience" is. As his teammate, Gan Guoyang completely made up for Sabonis's shortcomings of small moving range and slow speed on the defensive end, allowing him to guard the basket with peace of mind.

On the offensive end, Gan Guoyang has excellent running skills, blocking and cutting skills, standard basketball movements and good playing habits. Most importantly, his extremely powerful ending ability at the basket allows Sabonis to convert every effective pass into a goal.

Sabonis could feel that many balls, Gan Guoyang was forced to do it alone, and Volkov could not stop him at all, and the one-on-one gap was too big.

But Gan Guoyang has chosen to be team-first, and must cooperate with his teammates, mobilize the opponent's defense, and score more easily with a more relaxed defense.

When the score went from 20:6 to 24:38, Matthew Leonis knew that the ball could not be played, and the three-on-three match completely turned into an exhibition match between Gan Guoyang and Sabonis.

The cooperation between the two became more and more skillful, and in the end, almost no one wanted to shoot, just wanted to pass the ball. Matthew Leonis and others had no choice but to choose one-on-one resistance and never change defense.

But soon, Gan Guoyang had enough fun and began to use his hook to clean the endgame. At this time, coach Gomorsky, who was the referee, knew that the game had ended and Gan Guoyang had enough fun, and his goal was achieved.

So, Gomorsky, who didn't whistle much throughout the game, blew the whistle in his mouth. At this time, he was not like a basketball referee, but more like a boxing referee. He sentenced Matthew Leonis to be technically knocked down and they no longer had the power to fight back.

At this time, Gan Guoyang stepped forward and had a big hug with Sabonis. Two young men of the same age found an unparalleled tacit understanding in a simple three-on-three confrontation.

"How about it, Avidas, are you interested in conquering America with me?"

"Haha, of course, I'm willing to accept new challenges."

In this confrontation, Sabonis found confidence in going to the NBA game. At the same time, he began to look forward to the beautiful scene when playing with a powerful player like Gan Guoyang. This must be the latest and most beautiful chapter in his basketball career.
