(Some adjustments and explanations were made to Gan Guoyang's previous average data to make it more in line with historical situations.)

At 7 p.m. on March 26, the second game of the Northern California Final Four in the California Division II Championship was held at Pepperdine University's gymnasium. The winner of this game will enter the Northern California finals to compete for the finals.

After the Northern California championship is produced, ten North and South champions in five levels of California will gather in Los Angeles to decide the five California Championship championships.

And now, Gan Guoyang and the Vikings are on the glorious road to the ultimate glory of California high school basketball.

However, Gan Guoyang's absent-minded expression on the court was really hard to believe that this was a semi-finals.

Because, the game gap between the two sides is really too big.

Gan Guoyang's attention was distributed into three parts at this time:

The first scoreboard and timer to look at the sidelines.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 57:41, and the Vikings led the way, which was 16 points away from the other side.

The remaining time on the timer is only 5 minutes, and it is now the second half.

That is to say, the Vikings have 5 minutes left to enter the championship Northern California finals.

Gan Guoyang's second attention was that he was "attracted" by Gan Guohui in the stands, or was disturbed by him.

Today is Friday. Gan Guohui took a bus with a group of Palo Alto High School students and fans to Pepperdine University in the afternoon to watch the most critical battle in the history of Palo Alto High School basketball.

"Big cousin! Come on! You scored too few points!" In the gymnasium of Pepperdine University, which can accommodate 1,500 people, only Gan Guohui shouted in the stands in Chinese, and only Gan Guoyang could understand it.

Gan Guohui also brought a big green flag, which not only painted the Vikings team logo, but also posted the four Chinese characters "Gan Family Restaurant" by Gan Guohui! He took it out and danced around the stage, just as an advertisement.

More than once, Gan Guoyang wanted to throw the basketball in his hand directly into the stands after getting the ball, and smash the fat man who was jumping around there to death.

But Gan Guoyang's emotions were disturbed by Gan Guohui, the fat man, calmed down after he saw the purple color on the stands not far away.

Because Gan Guoyang's third focus is on his opponent in the next game - the Sacramento High School Dragons!

He looked up at the stands, looking at the purple that he encountered on the first day of the game.

"Gan, pay attention to catch the ball!" Gan Guoyang's attention was divided into these three parts, but he did not give his opponent one on the field. At this time, the shouts of his teammates came from his ears.

Gan Guoyang came to his senses at this time and found that the basketball was heading straight for him! At this time, he was standing outside the three-second zone and was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Bang!" The ball hit Gan Guoyang's face! A burst of soreness came from his nose. Gan Guoyang covered his face and felt his nose and tears hurt.

As a result, the ball was naturally cut off by the opponent, and the Tigers launched a counterattack.

Although there are only 5 minutes left and 16 points behind, for the Tigers, who have finally entered the semifinals of the division, they cannot give up the game even if there is only one minute left.

"Idiot! Damn Gan, this guy is just sleepwalking in this game!" Bellman on the coach's seat saw Gan Guoyang's eyes unconscious on the court, and knew that this guy must be wandering again.

But he didn't expect that he would be distracted from being hit by the ball in the nose!

"Return to defense! Fuck me back to defense! Be careful of your ass if you lose this ball!" Bellman shouted off the court. Although he was sure to win, he didn't like to see the players lazy and lazy because of this, especially Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang knew that his performance in this game was indeed "bad".

He scored 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, and it was already a relatively good statistic for other inside players.

But he is Gan Guoyang, who averaged 40 points and 20 rebounds in the first two games, and only scored half of the data in this game.

What made Bellman even more crazy is that Gan Guoyang has made 5 mistakes in this game, and the catch was interrupted, and he has made 6 mistakes, which is higher than the point guard's mistake!

Fortunately, the rest of the Vikings players performed very well today, especially their backcourt doubles, Deepembroke and Williams, who suddenly made a comeback in the second half of the first half.

Williams relied on the double cover of Gan Guoyang and Vigis, coupled with the small forward and Die Pemblok's attractive defense on the weak side and the top of the arc, and kept jumping in two bottom corners.

In the era of games without a three-point line, zone-stack (regional double cover) tactics like this are very rare, because such a play depends on the feel of the outside line and the scoring efficiency is not high.

At the same time, the outside line was able to get over, while the two players in the inside line squeezed into the bottom corner to cover the shooting guard, so don't think about the frontcourt rebounds.

However, it is precisely because of the few appearances, and Williams's hands are so hot that this tactic has been successful repeatedly under the cover of Gan Guoyang and Vigis forming a high-quality protective wall.

Moreover, such tactics forced the Tigers to expand their defense range, which made the Tigers' originally tight and oppressive defense loosen. In the end, they could not withstand the continuous impact of the Vikings before the end of the first half and the defense collapsed.

The Vikings took this opportunity to pull the score to 15 points in the midfield.

Judging from previous games, including the regular invitational tournament, the Vikings are best at crushing their opponents in the first half, taking the lead in the score, and then using slow pace and high-intensity defense in the second half to drag the opponent to death.

However, most of the Vikings relied on Gan Guoyang's outstanding performance to expand the score, but this game relied on the performance of the entire team and excellent tactical use.

Now, the game is obviously falling into the familiar rhythm of the Vikings, so it is normal for the Tigers to be kept being beaten in the second half.

"The Vikings' tactical richness is really unexpected. I didn't expect that their coach has two tricks." said a man in a purple sportswear sitting in the stands.

"Their coach seems to be named Bellman. He is said to be a very powerful guy, but he has never had good players." said another guy sitting next to him wearing a purple sportswear.

"But now they have that 'stupid' (Gump)! This guy is the second-average score per game in Northern California! I really didn't expect that this was actually a Chinese!" said another purple sportswear.

Gan Guoyang averaged 28.5 points per game in previous routine and invitational matches, which should be said to be not considered a high score for Gan Guoyang.

The main reason is that in the game between the Vikings and some teams with great strength, Gan Guoyang either only plays halftime or starts working but fails to work when the scores are wide.

So many of his data were only played for more than 20 minutes or not properly created. Otherwise, he would do his best every game and average 40 points per game would not be a problem.

"But California's scoring champion is on our team! Is it, Kevin?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" The person named Kevin was obviously absent-minded. He was watching Gan Guoyang on the field who was being talked about by his teammates.

At this time, Gan Guoyang was intercepted because of a smashing face. Bellman roared on the side and urged the Vikings to return to defense.

The Tigers' point guard advanced all the way after getting the ball. The Vikings' awareness of returning to defense was very good, but they were a little relaxed after leading the score.

So he slowed down and observed it, and decisively accelerated through the gap in the middle, ready to hit the basket, and at least scored one point to get back to some situation.

But when he jumped and was about to make a layup, he clearly felt that someone came up behind him to make up for defense, and it was Gan Guoyang!

When the guy heard Bellman's roar, he didn't bother to feel so much pain that he snot and tears. He chased him like a mad dog and caught up with him when the opponent's point guard was about to make a layup.

This point guard is not that easy to deal with. He shrank in the air and used his waist and abdomen to increase the time of stagnation. At the same time, his right hand, who made a layup, also shrank back, preparing to avoid Gan Guoyang's block.

At this time, Gan Guoyang's crazy waist and abdomen practice played a role in the first half of the championship. Although he still couldn't compare with the talented black man, his stronger waist and abdomen also made him more capable of doing movements.

Plus his terrifying long arms, the Tigers' point guard did not avoid the dense web of the big spider.

The ball was like a flies, sticking to the big net woven by Gan Guoyang, and once again chasing and blocking it!

After Gan Guoyang landed, he saw the players who followed him grab the ball, and he breathed a sigh of relief and began to run slowly towards the frontcourt.

This is true in Gan Guoyang. If someone stimulates him, he will be like an angry bull and must overturn the opponent; and once the opponent loses his ability to resist, he will become an old cow gnawing on grass, absent-minded and often wander.

Bellman is often helpless about this because he knows that Gan Guoyang is actually scared of the back injury last time, and he always pays attention to protecting himself.

"I sometimes feel like you are like an old man who has played basketball in the NBA for 20 years!" Bellman often scolded Gan Guoyang for self-protection, thinking that he is not like a passionate basketball youth at all.

"I just do the right thing at the right time. People cannot fall twice in the same place." Gan Guoyang said, which has become a famous saying he often used in future media interviews.

Belmann naturally didn't know that Gan Guoyang was a "little monster" with two lifetimes of memory, especially his deep impression of the various injuries and diseases of later stars made him have to pay attention at all times.

But now, Bellman is no longer in the mood to study his "little monster" because with the sound of the buzzer, the Northern California semi-finals game is over!

In the end, the Palo Alto Vikings defeated the big dark horse of this tournament, the Fremont Tigers, with a huge advantage of 61:45 and 16 points, and reached the district final of the California Division II Championship for the first time in school history!

The next time they achieve such a result, they will have to wait until the championship season in 1993 and in 2006, under the leadership of Jeremy Lin and coach Dee Pembroke.

That time, they won the state championship again.

And what about Gan Guoyang this time? He didn't know, the only thing he knew was that he had begun to change history.

This history changer is now working with other players to allow Bellman to enjoy the treatment of a flying man.

"Vikings!Vikings!Vikings!" The players threw Bellman high and shouted the team's name.

"Haha, don't you think it's too early to celebrate?" said a man in purple sportswear who was leaving the stands, looking at the Vikings player who happily seemed to have won the state championship.

"This is already the best result in their history, right? It's better to let them celebrate, they won't have a chance in the next game," said another person.

"Hey, don't be so confident, the Vikings are not that easy to deal with."

"It's okay, we still have you, Kevin."

This group of players wearing purple sportswear is naturally the Vikings' opponents in the next game, the Sacramento Dragons!

Out of Gan Guoyang's expectations, in yesterday's game, Skyrim High School was unable to defeat its opponent, so they also lost the opportunity to avenge Palo Alto High School in the division final.

Putting down the dizzy Belman, Gan Guoyang looked at the team players who left the field in purple jerseys, and searching for a small figure in it.

"That guy is No. 7..." Gan Guoyang thought to himself.

That almost invincible number 7!

Yesterday's game, the 50 best superstars, the best defensive player, and Gary Payton, who faced him, was almost like a piece of paper, and it was broken with one stab!

Greg Foster, who was inside, could not stop No. 7's breakthrough. Instead, he repeatedly fouled and sent the opponent to the free throw line. In the end, he committed five crimes, causing the Hawks' inside line to lose the barrier.

Gan Guoyang sat in the stands and could not hear the conversations of the players on the court.

But he knew that Payton would have been nagging in front of this No. 7 for the moment, because his mouth never stopped.

But he just nagged the half-court ball. By the second half, Payton no longer had the energy to fight on both physical and mental health.

The entire defense line of Skyrim High School was broken by No. 7, and he also had a very good mid-range shot. No player in Skyrim High School could do anything to him!

40 points, this is the data won by this Purple No. 7 game.

According to Die Pemblock, the player who scored 50 points in the first knockout match was also the No. 7!

In the end, the Dragons defeated the Hawks 75:63 and entered the Northern California finals.

After all, Payton is still too young, only in the ninth grade, and now he is defeated by a more mature and powerful opponent.

Payton's revenge for this defeat will have to wait 11 years later on a broader and glorious stage. There, he will be named "gloves".

Gan Guoyang finally found the short figure among the purple crowd. He understood that in Northern California, this was his real enemy.
Chapter completed!
