Chapter 430 Everything has a reason
"I originally thought that the Portland Trail Blazers at the beginning of the season were already the strongest Trail Blazers, but I didn't expect that after the All-Star Game, the game was
At this stage, the Trail Blazers are still able to innovate in tactical terms and exert such great power. It's really
It's hard to imagine." Don Patrick couldn't help but sigh as he watched the game gradually enter garbage time.
The tactics designed by the Trail Blazers for Gan Guoyang at a high position are so simple but so unsolvable. Under the arrangement of Adelman, Gan Guo
Yang always only appears in the low position and the ox horn position, which seems to reduce Gan Guoyang's mobility, but in fact it makes the team the most powerful.
Weapons are always placed where the most threat to the other party is like placing a cannon at the door of someone else's house.
Then, Adelman did not let Gan Guoyang support him at a high position, but cooperated in small numbers. Gan Guoyang did not have the support he had like Sabonis.
But he cooperated with several backcourt players very well, after all, Drexler, Porter and Pa
Kesen has been working with Gan Guoyang for many years.
At the same time, when Gan Guoyang no longer goes to the flanks and no longer goes to the bottom line, it not only reduces the chance of being double-teamed by the opponent and entering the defensive trap.
It also creates more offensive space for teammates, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Yes, from my intuition, this tactic will continue to be carried forward in the future, as long as there is a Gan Guo in the team.
I never thought that Yang would be so good at shooting like this. I thought that he used to be all the mid-range shots.
"It's fun to play." In Bill Walton's eyes, Gan Guoyang's past mid- and long-distance jump shots were all "playful".
However, this was also the opinion of many basketball people at that time. They thought that shooting from the outside from the inside was just a tactical supplement, a kind of surprise weapon
, No team will design special tactics around the mid-range shooting ability of inside players.
Adelman did it, but in fact he had luck doing this. At that time, he discussed with Bellman's decision to raise Gan Guoyang to a high position.
, The starting point is to reduce the number of times Gan Guoyang is double-teamed, but later they gradually discovered that Gan Guoyang is at a high or low level.
It can be a successful tactical starting point, and it is extremely powerful.
………………………………………
After the game was no suspense, it ended soon. The commentary cooperation between Don Patrick and Bill Walton also came to an end.
Everyone said goodbye, and after the camera turned off, Patrick was relieved. The explanation tonight should have been very successful.
If Gan Guoyang's performance on the court is shocking, then Bill Walton's performance in the commentary seat is also surprising.
After taking off the headphones, Patrick also shook hands with Walton cordially and hugged her, saying that the cooperation was very pleasant, and Walton also said that
Explain that this job looks good.
At this time, ESPN's president, Bill Rasmusson, also came to the broadcast room, shook hands cordially with Bill Walton, and asked questions
Bill Walton's feelings were also chatting with Don Patrick.
The three of them exchanged feelings in the broadcast room, and Walton then said goodbye and left. At this time, Don Patrick came to Bill Lass
Musen asked, "Why did he ask this guy to come and explain the game? His eloquence is really good, great, like a happy person
The actor; but tonight with him, it almost became the "Forrest Gump Talk Club", and our topics were almost all around
Gan, although his performance is indeed surprising."
Patrick also expressed some dissatisfaction to Rasmusen. In tonight's commentary, Bill Walton was always able to involve the topic.
As for Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang's performance happened to be very outstanding, so the commentary of this game became the "Gan Guoyang topic"
Talk show.”
Rasmusson took a look at Patrick, the club chairman who was fired by the New England Whaler in 1978, leaving the Hockey Union
The League founded ESPN. In the past ten years, he used his adventurous spirit to open up a new world of sports and will create new things.
Big scene.
Rasmusen said: "Patrick, there is a reason behind everything in this world. Bill Walton was once the glory of the pioneers.
, so it is understandable that he went to tout the current Trail Blazers flag." As he said, Rasmusson was closer to Patrick some
, whispered to him: "He can come here to explain the competition tonight, which is recommended through relationships. I think if he can
, He will come here to work in the future."
After listening to Rasmusen's words, Patrick suddenly realized that it turned out that Walton could come to ESPN as a guest commentator, which was recommended by Gan Guoyang.
Yes, Patrick also knows that Gan Guoyang, a Chinese, now has great energy in the American sports and entertainment industry. I recommend one
It is indeed not a big problem for the senior and old stars in the team to be guests.
After knowing this, Patrick also said that Walton does have a good talent for commentary, and his basketball knowledge and vision,
It is indeed not comparable to ordinary commentators. If he can come to ESPN in the future, it will be an important helper.
Rasmusen nodded, greeted Patrick, and went back to his office.
Walking on the road, Rasmusen thought to himself: "There is a reason behind everything in this world, but there are often more than one reason.
, you don’t think about why you are willing to recommend guests to us, we must accept it.”
Of course Patrick didn't know that when ESPN development needed the most funds to sign broadcast contracts with the NBA, Gan Guoyang was behind it.
Relying on one's own financial resources and relationships, he has made a lot of effort for ESPN, and at the same time he has become a small shareholder of ESPN. Most people don't know about it.
Talk about this matter.
So, when Gan Guoyang proposed to let Bill Walton be the commentator of ESPN, Rasmusen agreed without hesitation
Of course, there is a reason behind Rasmusen's promise to this, that is, there is a saying in the sports agent industry, "Follow
You can't go wrong if you are willing to leave."
………………………………………
At this time, Gan Guoyang, who was far away on the west coast, certainly would not know that his little recommendation would have made him have one more on the TV station from now on.
The reason why Gan Guoyang recommended Bill Walton to go to ESPN is very simple, because he knew in later generations that Walton would do it on ESPN in the future
The commentator, and will be a very excellent commentator.
But again, this is only one of the reasons. Gan Guoyang did not want to simply repeat history. After Walton retired in 1988, Gan Guo
Yang once found an opportunity to visit Walton, but after retirement, Walton's condition was beyond Gan Guoyang's expectations.
The joy of the two champions in 1986 and 1987 did not last long, Walton's heart fell into depression and stayed away from the basket after retirement
Ball's life seemed so bad to Walton. He locked himself in the house all day long and played some weird music to kill time.
, at that time he lived in Boston.
Gan Guoyang chatted with him for a long time, and then learned that Walton always felt guilty towards the Trail Blazers in his heart, and he regretted the past.
His reckless behavior has broken the former big family of the Trail Blazers. You should know that in the 1978 season, the Trail Blazers won three months ago.
The record is no less than this year's Trail Blazers, but Walton's injury ruined everything, and Walton's subsequent demand for a transaction also ruined
Everything was done.
Gan Guoyang also loves the pioneers deeply. He understands Walton's mood, so he uses his identity as a shareholder to let ESPN help him.
On a busy day, give Walton a chance to experience the commentary guest. Gan Guoyang believes that with Walton's ability, he will soon be recognized by ESPN.
At the same time, and open up new areas in the field of basketball commentary.
In terms of tactics, the Trail Blazers have also opened up new areas.
After the Trail Blazers and Warriors game, the Warriors head coach Don Nelson said at a post-match press conference: "The Trail Blazers'
The tactics were surprising. I didn't expect Adelman to have such talent. Of course, Gan's talent shocked me even more. However, there is always one
God I will find a way to deal with this tactic, and one day I will."
Don Nelson, the stubborn old man, has cultivated a big man who has the same projection ability and is even stronger after many years.
He was so tall that he destroyed him in the playoffs.
However, after going through the training, this great big man will also exert the power of the high pick-and-roll tactic to the extreme and eventually go
Chapter completed!
