As a complex modern offensive and defensive sport, basketball has had a history of more than a hundred years by the 21st century.

Over the past hundred years, athletes engaged in basketball have been constantly improving, becoming taller, faster and stronger; the technical movements about basketball are becoming more and more abundant and more complex.

And among these countless basketball technical movements, from basic to complex, almost every one will be used by some athletes to the extreme, becoming a legend in the basketball industry.

For example, Michael Jordan's back-down jump shot - although he spent his last college season in North Carolina in 1983; Olajuwon's under the basket - he also made his last in Houston in 1983

A chance to compete for the NCAA championship;

For example, Magic Johnson's No-look-pass - at this time he was already in hand with two championships and FMVP, but he experienced a painful failure in 1983; for example, Jason Kidd's non-deceleration change breakthrough - he is still in the Olympics

Crane's streets are taught by Gary Payton by words and deeds.

But among all these unique skills, only Jabbar's Tiangou. In the professional league, there were almost ancient people in front but no one came later.

Hooking is a necessary attack skill for all centers, which allows the center to complete a fatal blow with one hand near the basket with a smaller preparation and a shorter action time.

But no player's hook can be like Kareem, from one side to the other side, within 17 feet of the basket, within 180 degrees, at any angle or distance, at any left or right hand,

Can throw the ball into the basket with a hook.

Not to mention that you have to be coordinated, beautiful, and difficult to block like Jabbar, and it is called "Sky-hook".

Nor can Gan Guoyang be allowed.

After a year of hard practice, when it comes to the match, his hook is limited to his right hand, so he turns the ball to the bottom line more on the right side of the basket; his hook distance is 15 feet, and it will change even if it is farther.

He was very unsure; his movements were not perfect enough, because of his height, he had to spend more effort to push the defense with his non-shooting hands and gain more room for hook shots.

However, in today's game, his hook is already scary enough at UCLA's home court.

After making the 15-foot long-distance hook, Gan Guoyang showed his power again on the defensive end, and directly gave up the inside and rushed to the outside, slapped Jackson's small throw.

The Bulldogs launched a fast attack, Gan Guoyang quickly stepped down, and UCLA quickly retreated; but when he received a pass from his teammate at 8 feet from the basket on the right, he did not break into the basket, but actually hooked his hand directly, "bang", the ball hit the board and entered the basket.

In the third minute of the second half, Gan Guoyang was again on the right side of the street ball, Gray defended alone, Gan Guoyang dribbled the ball with his left hand and pretended to cut inward, but suddenly turned back and slipped, and took a hook, and the ball entered.

In the 4th minute of the second half, Gan Guoyang grabbed the frontcourt rebound at 5 feet opposite the basket, made a fake move and shook Gray and Fields. He dribbled the ball to the right, hooked Fields' body, and the ball jumped twice on the basket.

Next, score on the net. Fields fouled and added a penalty.

In the second half, 4 minutes and 38 seconds, the Bulldogs launched a quick counterattack. Gan Guoyang received the ball at the bottom line at zero degrees and was attacked by Fields and Heichel; Gan Guoyang did not make the ball, turned around to the bottom line and got rid of it slightly, squeezed away from Haichel, and pushed the ball with his left hand.

Keifields, hooked his hand at a distance of 15 feet, and he didn't even look at the basket. Fields tried his best to stretch his arms to interfere, but the ball made a turn on the basket, fell into the net, and the ball entered.

UCLA's home court has become a quiet grave, just like Boston Garden Plaza in Game 6 of the 1974 Finals, in which Jabbar faced Dave Coins and Don Chaney's double-team in almost the same position.

, use an incredible 15-foot sky hook to defeat the Boston Celtics, and disguise the total score as 3:3.

And now, at UCLA, Kareem's former alma mater, Gan Guoyang used the most familiar way they once sent the ball into the basket again and again. His posture was as stretched as Kareem, and his expression was as cold as Kareem.

Cool, but what brings UCLA is not excitement but despair.

"Beep!" The referee's sharp whistle became the loudest sound on the court, breaking the silence.

The Bruins called a timeout, and they could no longer let Gan Guoyang continue to be so unscrupulous. After the opening of the second half, he scored 13 points in a row, winning all the Bulldogs' scores.

The Bruins only relied on Jackson's breakthrough to score two points, and the Bulldogs widened the score gap to 16 points.

Gan Guoyang deliberately walked towards the UCLA bench when he was about to leave. He looked at Larry Famal's stinky face as usual, and there was no other feeling except for a hint of comfort.

He pointed at the opponent's bench, pointed to Reggie Miller, who could only watch the team be beaten up, nodded to him, then turned around and returned to the Bulldogs' bench.

A single click to defeat UCLA cannot satisfy Gan Guoyang. Beating UCLA with Reggie Miller is his real goal and to get back what he lost.

Sure enough, Famal also realized that if the inside is not advantageous, if there is no outstanding firepower point on the outside, the game will not be able to be played.

So, the Bruins once again replaced Reggie Miller with critically behind in the score.

However, Miller replaced the team's small forward Marenka, so that he and Heichel stayed on the court at the same time, inside and outside, and shooting, which obviously increased UCLA's offensive choices and enriched their tactical rotation.

The Bulldogs won the starting shooting guard Mark Matthews and replaced Gan Guoyang's old teammate Mikari Williams.

Williams was able to enter Gonzaga University, and in addition to being Bermann was Gonzaga's head coach, his excellent shooting skills were also a big capital for him.

His tenacity in defense is also one of the reasons why people value it, although his biggest shortcomings are generally a flaw that cannot be compensated for.

After some adjustments, the game continued.

The fans at home seemed to have also slowed down and started cheering for the home team again. The 16-point gap is not a natural barrier that cannot be filled. It is still early, and there are more than 15 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Bruins serve, Jackson took a few deep breaths, thinking about how to face Stockton's defense. He was tortured by Stockton in today's game, and he spent 12 points and had to keep his energy focused.

.

But when he dribbled through half the game, he found that the Bulldogs, who were man-to-man defense, did not use Stockton to defend themselves, but used No. 25 Mikari Williams, who had just come on the bench.

Where is Stockton? Jackson glanced at the field and found that Stockton was like a policeman chasing a thief, pestering Reggie Miller who kept running.

Misplaced defense!

In basketball games, when playing man-to-man defense, they usually correspond to each position, with the center against the center, the forward against the forward, and the defender against the defender.

But sometimes the direct defense effect is not good, especially if the opponent has a star player in a certain position, and the player in the same position is average in defense, it is very likely that the opponent's star will be in this position

The officer opened and beat him up.

In this way, in order to curb the opponent's arrow characters, the defensive vanguards of their side will be allowed to misalign the opponent to defend the opponent and inhibit the performance of star players.

For example, in this game, Gan Guoyang sometimes defended UCLA's number one scorer power forward Fields, suppressing his performance below the average level.

The Bruins' biggest reliance on the first half was Reggie Miller who performed very well. It was precisely because of his hot touch that the Bruins not only survived the scoring drought, but also led the performance of other players, making the entire team's outside offense.

Revitalize.

In the second half, facing the same dilemma, Famal sent No. 31 again, hoping to rely on his magical performance to deal with the amazing performance of another Bulldog star Gan Guoyang.

But how could Belmann let Famar succeed? The way he dealt with it was to let the team's strongest outside defense, John Stockton, go against Miller.

However, Stockton is a point guard after all, only 6-foot-1, while Miller is 6-foot-6. The difference between the two is 5 inches, which is really a bit big.

Stockton's only advantage when defending Miller is that his speed is faster and more flexible, and he can keep up with Miller's footsteps, making it difficult for his C&S to play.

Jackson's pressure has been reduced a lot. Williams is resilient but has a much worse oppressive attitude. He can only guarantee that he will not lose his position when facing Jackson.

Once Jackson unzipped the pressure, the Bruins' offense became smoother. They once again used their usual telescopic tactics, using constant running and cover to find opportunities for breakthroughs and layups, and cracked the Bulldogs' man-marking defense.

The ball was at the top of the arc, with the waist position on the right and the horn on the left three times passed. Miller relied on three times to finally barely get rid of Stockton's entanglement and go straight to the basket!

The teammate immediately passed the ball directly to Miller's hand. Miller made a little adjustment and made two fake moves in a row, shook the two Bulldogs' defenders away, and wanted to make a layup directly.

"Bang!" A sound of hitting the board came, but it was not the sound of the ball hitting the board into the basket, but the ball was pressed on the rebound by a big hand.

A big hat with a nail board, Gan Guoyang gave it to you.

Miller never expected Gan Guoyang to chase him to the inside, because when he was running, Gan Guoyang had already been pulled to the outside by Fields to prevent him from shooting, and only the opponent's power forward was in charge of the inside.

He underestimated Gan Guoyang's desire to protect and react to the inside, and also proved that he was not an excellent passer. Otherwise, he would pass the ball to Fields who was inserted, and he would be an unguarded dunk.

After a big hat, the ball rights were controlled by the Bulldog again. Gan Guoyang's block was like this. He didn't like to fan the ball far away and return to the opponent's hands like playing volleyball, but wanted to control the ball firmly in his own hands.

"This is my territory, you'd better stay away and shoot." Gan Guoyang certainly wouldn't miss such a sarcastic opportunity, and said to Miller with a dark face.

After handing the ball to Stockton, the Bulldogs started to attack slowly and slowly, and now the big tree of UCLA has been shaking with a shaking moment.

As soon as Gan Guoyang ran to the opponent's half, he immediately drilled into the inside line and began to get the key position in the familiar right waist position.

Famal on the sidelines and the home spectators immediately felt nervous when they saw Gan Guoyang's posture. Thinking that this guy would hook up again as soon as he got the ball, everyone was already scared.

But the Bruins also made adjustments in defense, that is, to attack Gan Guoyang.

Before Gan Guoyang got the ball, he started to attack. Gray was at the back and Fields blocked the front. The two men sandwiched Gan Guoyang in the middle like two slices of bread to form a sandwich.

In this case, Stockton naturally could not pass the ball to Gan Guoyang.

It just so happened that Williams went around from the left to the front position of the top of the arc through the cover of power forward Anderson. Stockton passed a high pass to Williams. After receiving the ball, Williams wanted to break inward.

As a result, the defender he faced was the strong Heicher, and Williams, who was not as good as speed and strength, could not break in at all.

Gan Guoyang, who was not able to get the ball in the waist position, raised it to the left horn position to cover Williams. The two old teammates have always had a tacit understanding. Williams smartly pretended to use the cover to break through to the right, but Hecher hit Gan Guoyang when he hit him.

Up, when Gray stepped forward to make up for defense, he suddenly turned to the left, bypassed Heicher who had made the wrong position and headed straight to the basket from the left!

This trick was commonly used in Palo Alto High School, and Williams also learned it as well.

Seeing his opponent suddenly heading into the three-second zone, Heichel and Gray had just reacted and left and looked towards Williams.

But before the double-team was formed, Williams had already thrown the ball towards Gan Guoyang who cut inside after the cover, and another tacit pick-and-roll.

Gray's reaction was quite fast. He also knew that he should always pay attention to the movements of the coverers after the pick-and-roll, so when he saw the ball being passed back to Gan Guoyang, he immediately turned his attention back to Gan Guoyang.

However, no matter how fast a person moves, he is not as fast as the ball.

The ball hit Gan Guoyang's hand and did not stop at all. It was like playing volleyball. With a slap in both hands, it actually rebounded towards Williams again!

Gan Guoyang was like a moving wall. He first covered Williams and bounced back the ball. Now Gray reacted quickly, it was too late. Williams successfully attacked the empty basket.

Score!

All this happened in the flash. Gan Guoyang, a center with average passing foundation, but extremely talented, can always use his magical strokes in the pass defender's technique.

There was a lot of noise from the entire home court, mixed with surprise and loss, because such passes had also appeared at UCLA's home court, from another super center of theirs.

In the 1973 NCAA Finals, Bill Walton used his NCAA best performance in the history of the Finals, made 21 of 22 shots, 44 points and 14 rebounds, achieving UCLA's seven-game championship.
