(It is indeed a requirement for collection!!! The parents of future food and clothing!!! But with everyone's support, I surpassed one more, thank you!)

After having dinner, watching movies and racing with Gan Guoyang that night, Chamberlain felt extremely satisfied. However, this giant, who was destined to be lonely but unwilling to be lonely, had a new "mission" to complete, that is, to play volleyball!

Sometimes Gan Guoyang would think that the reason why Chamberlain's basketball career was so bumpy was not because of something else, but because he could do too much.

In addition to basketball, high jump, sprint, shot put, hurdling, volleyball, rugby, boxing, and Chamberlain all have the potential of a world-class athlete. Perhaps it is because he is too good at, which has disrupted his energy allocated to basketball.

Now that he has retired, he can finally pick up the sports he loved in the past, such as volleyball and boxing.

"If Ali dared to fight with me that time, I would definitely beat him up!" Chamberlain boasted about his boxing skills in front of Gan Guoyang more than once.

"If your boxing skills are really that good, you won't discount your hands with one punch." At this time, Thurmond will always stand up and tear down Chamberlain's station.

And now, the two old friends are about to part ways again, without any reluctance, without any hugs and farewell, just a word of "goodbye", Chamberlain drove away in his Lamborghini searcher.

This is the friendship between real men, no need to talk nonsense or talk.

Without Chamberlain's company on the weekend, Gan Guoyang felt that the fun in life was much less suddenly. After all, Mr. Thurmond has his own family and business, and he is not as carefree as Chamberlain, who can play around everywhere.

So he devoted more time to basketball training, because the routine and invitational tournaments of Palo Alto High School were over, and they finally achieved an impressive record of 30 wins and 3 losses, and maintained a complete victory in the routine tournament in this division.

In the last game, Gan Guoyang was watching from the wall, but he was also assigned a task by Bellman to do the team's statistics.

Not only do you need to count the basic data such as scores, rebounds, assists, etc. of the team members, but you also need to calculate the usual shooting points and main activity areas of each teammate.

This made Gan Guoyang exhausted. While adding data to his teammates, he also had to paint and change it on a board with a stadium line. It was really tiring than playing on the court.

Gan Guoyang didn't know what Bellman was meant, but he vaguely felt that it was impossible for the head coach torture him without any trouble. There must be some special reason behind this.

However, Gan Guoyang didn't think much about it. In the nearly half month of free time from the end of the regular season to the beginning of the championship, he devoted himself to training.

Especially the back jump shot he learned from Chamberlain, he has mastered some basic movements, but it is still very unstable to use in formal competitions.

Gan Guoyang found that he still had great flaws in waist and abdomen strength.

He is not born with a strong body like a black man. Although he has special talents, he still needs a lot of training to develop it.

The lack of waist and abdomen strength and the ability to stagnate the air are precisely his biggest shortcomings in physical fitness at present.

"Hurry, hurry up, don't relax! Shrink your abdomen and speed up the frequency! You must understand how important it is to a man to have a good waist. Fast! Quickly!" The Palo Alto High School Stadium was still brightly lit at night, and Bellman's scolding kept coming.

In fact, since Gan Guoyang joined the Vikings team, the lights in the gym are often the last one to go out in the school, and he always practices until very late.

Now, not only Gan Guoyang, but also the entire Vikings have the habit of practicing more. Because they are no longer the "Paro Alto Fishermen" (an alias for Gary Halleck to go back to class after the regular matches.

At this time, they were the champions of the Palo Alto Division of Northern California, entering the California Championship as a seed team and received seed treatment in the first round bye, which means they will have more rest and preparation time.

Of course, among all the team members, Gan Guoyang was the one who trained the hardest and the latest.

Just now, under the guidance and reprimand of Bellman, he opened a small strength training stomp for his strength with the help of his two teammates to practice his waist and abdomen.

Gan Guoyang was lying flat on the floor, his legs were bent into a bow, and Dippenblock sat on his instep and pressed him down. This was a sit-up position, but Bellmann did not let Gan Guoyang do sit-ups simply.

Bellman and another player stood on the left and right sides of Gan Guoyang's feet, one holding a basketball in his hand.

Gan Guoyang first sat up to the left, and the person on the left threw the ball to Gan Guoyang. After Gan Guoyang received the ball, he immediately passed the ball back to the opponent, and then lay down flat; before his muscles relax, he would immediately sit up to the right, and the person on the right passed the ball to him. Gan Guoyang also received the ball and passed the ball back and then lay down flat.

Just like that, he sat up and sat up, received the ball, passed the ball, lying flat, sat up, caught the ball, lying flat... Gan Guoyang's speed became faster and faster under the urging of Bellman. His abdomen soon wanted to be burned by fire, and it became increasingly unbearable, and the expression on his face became more and more painful.

"Ah!" Finally, Gan Guoyang couldn't hold on anymore, so he roared, spread his arms and collapsed on the floor. He was sweating heavily, looking at the ceiling, wearing thick and thick clothes.

Because Gan Guoyang realized the lack of strength in his waist and abdomen, he asked Bellman for guidance to help him practice his waist and abdomen.

Naturally, Bellmann would not miss this opportunity to "torture" his ace player. After the team's training, he kept Gan Guoyang for special training. The catch-ups he just did were just part of the training content.

"Okay, don't lie on the ground like a dead dog, the training has just begun."

After hearing Bellman's words, Gan Guoyang suddenly regretted asking the coach to give him a small stove. This small stove doesn't taste good!

But after thinking about it, Gan Guoyang obediently stood up from the ground, endured the burning sensation in his abdomen, and prepared to receive Bellman's next training content.

In this way, from March 3, 1982 to the official opening of the California Championship on the 17th, Gan Guoyang almost never left the gym except for sleeping and eating. He knew that this was the last opportunity to improve before the competition began.

The entire Vikings were also in a state of excitement and tension, both longing and worrying, because for everyone they were entering the state championship for the first time, including their coach Bellman. This was also shown in their training.

On the last day before the start of the game, the training was still tense. Because the first round was bye, even if the game officially started, the Vikings still had three days to rest, but the tension before the competition was already permeated in the team.

"Hey, Vigis! Williams! Stop!" Bellman stood on the sidelines and watched the team conduct five-on-five tactical training. As a result, during an offensive and defensive drill, Vigis and Williams collided together while defending without the ball.

The two seemed to have had some quarrels, but there were signs of taking action.

Bellman stopped yelling and rushed forward, and at this time the other players had already stepped forward to separate the two.

"What are you doing? The championship is about to start, are you just playing infighting for me like this?" Bellman looked at the two people who calmed down and did not speak up, but asked what was going on.

This is not the first time this happened today. Bellman found that the entire team seemed very dull during training, and there were very few shouting and communication on the court, but the smell of gunpowder was a bit strong.

The conflict between Vigis and Williams seems to be an outbreak of negative emotions during training today.

In fact, Bellman also knew in his heart that they felt uneasy and irritable because they were too nervous.

The same is true for Bellman himself. He hasn't had a good sleep for several days, so he didn't scold Vigis and Williams. What they need now is calm.

But Bellman himself felt unable to calm down. Everyone was looking at him, as if asking him what to do next and continue training?

Or punish these two people who violated the discipline? Or something else. Bellman's mind was about to explode, and he could hardly help but scold "Fu-ck-you".

"Mr. Bellman, why don't we go and play table tennis. I think it's time to relax a little, everyone seems to be a little nervous." At this time, Gan Guoyang, who was the first to run up to grab Vigis, suggested.

This is really a bold suggestion. When it's about to play the championship, he actually plays table tennis? If it weren't normal, Bellman would have spitted Gan Guoyang out of shit.

But Bellman looked at Gan Guoyang, his ace player.

Gan Guoyang seemed very calm, as if he had forgotten that the coach in front of him had always been known for his stinky temper and poisonous mouth. He was very calm and calm, as if he had come up with a wonderful idea waiting for his boss's consent.

"Okay, today's training ends here. I have the key to the billiards room. Let's go and relax together." Belman seemed to think this was a wonderful idea. Before Gan Guoyang made this suggestion, he almost didn't know what to do and how to solve the team's tension, because he was also trapped in this emotion and couldn't extricate himself.

From this moment on, Bellman suddenly realized that perhaps Gan Guoyang was the real leader of this team.

While everyone was nervous and a little out of control, only he was still so calm. He was always normal for the whole game of training, and other players were also normal for him. No one wanted to have a conflict with him.

"The-King." This is a word that came out of Bellman's heart. On Gan Guoyang, Bellman could vaguely feel the breath of the king.

In the United States, in California, there are many talented high school students. Gan Guoyang is only one of them at present, but Bellman feels that Gan Guoyang will be the real king among them, and he is also a Chinese.

So, today's Vikings' training ended early, and Bellman took the players from the team to the billiards room to play billiards.

Table tennis is basically the safest ball sports. If you can get hurt when playing table tennis, it is really God who is joking with you, and you have to laugh if you don’t laugh. So using table tennis to relax is really great.

……………………

"By the way, ladies, I have forgotten it. I should show you the schedule. I think it is necessary for us to give the teams that are about to fall at our feet to have an early silence." In the billiard room, Bellman suddenly remembered the schedule, and he actually forgot such an important thing.

The familiar name "Ladies" made the players who were able to play table tennis stop the clubs and gathered next to Bellman, wanting to see who their next opponent will be.

Bellman took out a big poster from his bag and marked the schedule. As the top spot in the competition, the Vikings had no opponent in the first round and had a bye.

Next to them are the Conqueror of Los Altos and the Crusader of Our Lady, two high school winners will become the first opponents of the Vikings.

"Los Altos High School? I know, my cousin is there to go to school. I heard that they play basketball very badly." Stanley said from the side when he saw the high school.

"I have also heard that they play very savagely, so no team is willing to play invitational games with them. They are all playing on other people's territory."

"Even if they go to other people's territory, they have never seen them restrain themselves."

"We played invitational games with them three years ago, and they had this kind of morality at that time. At that time, their center hit my chest with elbows several times, but the referee didn't see it, and I was almost mad." The person who spoke was Vigis, who joined the basketball team in the ninth grade and is now a fresh graduate in the twelfth grade.

"They still have this kind of morality! I heard that several players were injured in their hands. Although they were not serious injuries, they couldn't play in the game at that time." Williams also had friends going to school in other places.

"But Los Altos High School may not necessarily defeat Our Lady High School. Our Lady High School is quite amazing." Dippenblock added from the side. Indeed, Our Lady High School is not easy to bully.

"Yes! The Virgin High School is also very good... It's not easy to beat anyone anyway..."

Everyone started discussing it with one word. Because the first few rounds of the high school championship were arranged according to the principle of proximity, Los Altos High School and Our Lady High School are not far from Palo Altos, and the Vikings know about these two schools.

Bellman did not stop the team members from chatting. He would have been shouting them "ladies" before, but this time he looked at Gan Guoyang.

"No matter who it is, we will definitely win anyway." Gan Guoyang understood it, and a firm voice came, interrupting the discussion of others, "So everyone should prepare for the future game, and there is no need to worry about who to play in the next round. I think it's time for us to consider the opponent in the final."

Bellman originally wanted Gan Guoyang to stand up and say a few words at this time to enhance the confidence of the players, and at the same time further establish Gan Guoyang's leadership position in the team.

But he didn't expect that Gan Guoyang would dare to say so much. To put it nicely, this is called self-confidence, and to put it badly, it is arrogance.

In competitions like the high school championship, there is a high chance of being unpopular, and dark horses appear every year.

In fact, Palo Alto High School was a dark horse in this competition, and they haven't entered the state championship for a long time.

"Where is Tianji High School?" Gan Guoyang was concerned about Tianji High School at this time.

"They are not in the same district as us, and they won't meet before the final."

"I hope I can meet them in the final."

In Gan Guoyang's view, Skyrim High School should be the strongest opponent he has encountered at the moment. He doesn't know or care about other teams.

Until now, he still adheres to the principle of playing whatever game he arranges, and is mainly based on me, and is too lazy to understand the information about his opponent.

So in his eyes, Skyrim High School is the strongest team except Palo Alto High School.

Obviously, Gan Guoyang's confidence is not for no reason. He is not arrogant, but comes from his full understanding of himself and the team; of course, he has also been fully prepared to meet the challenges of other teams.
