Just as Falke and You felt a little distressed by the lingering haze above their heads, the initiator Gan Guoyang was sweating profusely in the training hall in Portland.

This season, the Trail Blazers' season opening schedule was extremely relaxed. After playing back-to-back at home on November 5, the Trail Blazers actually got a 5-day rest time. Their next game didn't start until the 10th, and they were going to challenge the Denver Nuggets away.

The 5-day period is really too long. In the second game of the season, Gan Guoyang seemed to know that there would be a long rest period next, so in the game against the Sacramento Kings, Gan Guoyang went all out and won the first big double-double of the season, 4020.

Then, he began to start his training life normally as if nothing had happened.

"Gan, how did you catch so many rebounds?" At the Jewish Community Training Center, Gan Guoyang was practicing back-and-forth running with Sabonis. Sabonis' physical fitness needs to be further strengthened, while Gan Guoyang took Sabonis to run with him. As long as Gan Guoyang runs, Sabonis will run as long as possible.

"Predict, you need to understand the shooting habits of each opponent and teammate, and then your reaction should be fast enough. After predicting the landing point of the ball, your body must move and run to the landing point. Finally, it depends on whether you can work hard to reach that damn ball!" Gan Guoyang has never stinged in imparting Sabonis knowledge and experience.

Seeing that Sabonis still seemed to be a little vague, Gan Guoyang knew that Sabonis had played too many games in the FIBA ​​and stood at the basket all year round. With his height and wingspan, he was almost able to capture rebounds. However, in the NBA, if he did not pay attention to the judgment of the landing point, a center may not be able to grab a point guard.

"Let me give an example. Do you see Clyde who is practicing shooting there? "Gan Guoyang pointed to Drexler, who was doing shooting training at the other half of the court.

Sabonis turned around and saw Drexler receiving the pass and made a mid-range shot.

"Look at Clyde's shooting, the shooting point is high, but the arc is very flat. If such a ball does not go in, it will usually bounce to about 10 feet away from the basket, and it will not bounce very high. So Clyde and the balls shot by players like Clyde cannot be grabbed by jumping alone. You have to judge whether it has been biased when he takes a shot. If it goes in, you have to determine the landing point in the wrong direction, and the ball will automatically come to your hands... Oh, by the way, I also want to tell you that if Clyde forcefully jumps, you must prepare to grab the rebound in advance! Also, if he doesn't score the first two balls, the chance of not making the third ball is 90%. Then there will be no fourth ball."

When Gan Guoyang was coaching Sabonis to grab the rebound, he did not forget to smear Drexler. Drexler seemed to sense something. After scoring several goals in a row, he immediately hit the three-iron. This is in training.

After blackmailing Drexler, Gan Guoyang also "blacked" all the players in the Trail Blazers' jump shots to remind Sabonis that if different players hit the iron when shooting, the ball's landing point would appear.

This is the rich experience that Gan Guoyang has summarized over the past few years, and it is also the reason why he can lead the rebounding list. For this reason, Gan Guoyang has studied many videotapes and watched technical analysis of other players.

By the time Gan Guoyang finished speaking, Sabonis was already a little panting, while Gan Guoyang was still talking nonstop. In such a back-and-forth run, it was easy to get out of breath by talking a lot, but such running was like walking for Gan Guoyang.

"Okay, let's just run here. Your current physical strength can only maintain a high-intensity game of 30 minutes. If you want to be a main player and be able to stay on the court at the last moment of the game, you need to continue to strengthen your physical strength and confrontational ability." Gan Guoyang stopped and said to Sabonis, who was gasping for breath.

Afterwards, the entire Trail Blazers team conducted offensive and defensive training again. This time, Adelman chose to put Sabonis in the starting lineup and cooperated with Gan Guoyang, Cauchy and Drexler, and at the same time tried the feasibility of the double towers.

In the second game, Sabonis still did not get a chance to play, which made Sabonis a little anxious because his performance in the preseason was quite good. I don’t know why Adelman didn’t give him a chance in the regular season.

But Sabonis still maintained his patience and participated in the training seriously. In fact, he also felt during the training that the gap between himself and Gan Guoyang cannot be calculated. Gan Guoyang has already run too far, and Sabonis feels that even if he flys, he will not be able to catch up with him.

"Quick Avidas! Go back to defense quickly! Place the position and pay attention to your position and pay attention to your position! It's too far away!" Gan Guoyang could also loudly remind Sabonis while returning to defense by himself.

This is an offensive and defensive transformation training. Both sides are conducting training for positioning and running, requiring players to stand at their defensive position as fast as possible. At this point, Sabonis still has problems.

"If you play him, there will definitely be some problems in the defense against the Lakers." Bellman on the sidelines said to Adelman.

According to discussions between Adelman and the entire coaching staff, they believe that if Sabonis can liberate Gan Guoyang on both offense and defense, they will have a greater chance of winning when facing the Lakers.

But the Lakers' fast break is the strongest in the league. If Sabonis cannot go further in defense, it will be hard to say whether his role on the court is positive or negative.

"However, Sabonis has made progress quite fast. I think he has a very strong learning ability, and Gan is also a good teacher." Belman continued. As a high school coach in Gan Guoyang, he still knows Gan Guoyang very well.

"Haha~ Actually, they are the same big as they are, but Gan really walked too far and too fast, and the others could no longer keep up with him."

……………………

After the training, Gan Guoyang stayed in the training hall to practice as usual. Today, the event he practiced was strength. After losing weight, Gan Guoyang continued to strengthen his strength practice in order to ensure his aggressiveness in strength.

Gan Guoyang could feel that from the perspective of talent, his strength should be almost at the set value of 83, and Gan Guoyang also decided to continue training and strive to overflow his talent like a dunk talent.

The league is now in a fierce battle. The group of inside players who entered the league in the mid-1980s grew rapidly on their arms, and the loose whistle made the game more and more barbaric. The Detroit Pistons are typical representatives.

In order to compete with these black muscle rods, Gan Guoyang repeatedly forged his body like steel.

Sabonis is the follower of Gan Guoyang during training. Gan Guoyang stayed to practice strength, and he also stayed to practice. Sabonis has excellent strength and talent. In time, the two of them will definitely form the strongest inside combination in the league.

Just as the training was about to end, Feng Guangyao entered the power room in a suit and sunglasses. Before he could step in, he heard Gan Guoyang shouting, "Take off his shoes! Go into the power room and take off his shoes!"

Feng Guangyao hurriedly took back his feet and bent down to take off his shoes, but soon he put his hand back and smiled and said, "Yangtou, I'd better not take it off. It will pollute the environment here even more... I'll tell you at the door that Mr. Falke is here and is waiting for you in the car."

Gan Guoyang nodded, ended his strength training, then went in, took a shower and put on his clothes and came outside the training hall. David Falke opened the car door and waited for him in the car.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Falke, you still like this and suddenly come to me without saying hello." Gan Guoyang walked into the car, then pulled out two Cuban cigars from the small cigarette box on the car and handed them to Falke one.

He lit the cigar in his mouth and took a hard sip. Gan Guoyang rarely smoked, but he would give him one when needed, because whenever he lit the cigar, he would appear mysterious in the storm of smoke.

This effect always doubles the pressure on Falke.

This time, Falk came here mainly to talk to Gan Guoyang about the branding of sneakers. "Air-Jordan" has made great progress under the operation of Falk and Nike, while "Skyscraper" is slightly inferior, but with Gan Guoyang's MVP level performance this season, it is certain that this brand will further appreciate.

However, Gan Guoyang has recently tended to separate "Skyscraper" from the Nike brand, which is not good news for Falk, an intermediate broker, because it means that Gan Guoyang will no longer need his agent to coordinate the business relationship with Nike. Gan Guoyang can directly become a Nike brand shareholder and participate in product decisions.

Falke hopes to persuade Gan Guoyang to slow down such a pace of divestiture because this is indeed risky.

However, Falk said as he watched Gan Guoyang smoking a cigar leisurely, his heart becoming more and more unsure.

After Falke finished speaking, Gan Guoyang wiped out Xue Jiao in his hand, used cigar cuts to put the front cut neatly back into the cigarette box, and then said, "Mr. Falke, one day, 'Air-Jordan' will also take this path. If you don't believe it, let's take a look. As for my 'Skyscraper', you don't have to worry about it. This is not a problem you should worry about. Now I will give you a question to worry about. Your subordinates should add a player. He will be the first player under my 'Skyscraper' brand, so guide him well."
