Bobby Bellman was a player with no talent when he was young. After graduating from high school, he did not receive any college basketball scholarships, which was also expected by him.

However, when he applied to university, he still chose the Department of Sports at the University of San Francisco and studied basketball theory during his undergraduate studies.

After graduation, he worked as a coach in the community basketball team, as a physical education teacher in elementary school, and as a women's basketball coach in middle school.

Later, because of an opportunity, he became the coach of the Palo Alto High School basketball team. The original coach was hospitalized because of illness and he became a temporary worker.

He has achieved pretty good results here because his guiding ideology is very clear. Since we have no talent, we should make up for it with tactics.

In this regard, his idea is exactly the same as that of Coach Carell of Princeton University, except that Coach Carell designed an offensive system, while Bellman was obsessed with the construction of a defensive system.

If we follow the course of the original history, Belman will eventually be fired for being unable to lead the Vikings to make too big a breakthrough, and in the end he will be just an ordinary little person, a basketball enthusiast who is nothing but everyone else.

In this sport that requires great talent, there are countless such enthusiasts.

However, God gave him a chance and brought him a person, a person who had traveled through time from the future, although no one knew except this person himself.

This person is Gan Guoyang, and his arrival will change a lot of things, and the first thing he changed was Bellman's fate as a coach.

Gan Guoyang's talent is so high that in the high school league, all Berman has to do is to let other players defend well, and the rest is left to Gan Guoyang.

This makes up for one of his biggest flaws for Bellman, who is not good at commanding attacks.

Therefore, the Vikings were able to reach the finals of the California Championship, but in such a game, there were too many variables, and Bellman and Gan Guoyang still lacked experience after all.

Even so, Bellman, who passed by the championship, got the opportunity to change his destiny and came to Gonzaga University, and by chance he got Gan Guoyang again.

In order to make up for the regrets and shortcomings of high school, Bellman worked hard to learn and digest various offensive tactics and applied them to the game.

At the same time, he also focused on cultivating Gan Guoyang's skills in all aspects, allowing him to truly grow into a unique inside Optimus Prime.

Finally, they succeeded, entered the NCAA national for the first time for the first time, and came to Salt Lake City to face coach Carell, who Bellman admired and his Princeton Tigers.

However, the young and inexperienced Bellman fell into a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that made the bulldog lose his composure.

In the past three years, both teams led by Bellman have been known for their "mediocre talents". Even if he has Gan Guoyang, he cannot raise the overall talent of the team.

Therefore, Bellman has always adhered to the idea that he has been a player since he was a player - if he has no talent, then use tactics to make up for it.

But what he didn't expect was that the Princeton Tigers they faced today were a team with less talent and a team that relied more on tactics.

Bellman always wants to use tactical adjustments on the defensive end to deal with the Tigers' tactical changes on the offensive end. In fact, this is based on one's own weaknesses and the strengths of the enemy.

Isn’t this seeking death when fighting against the Tigers?

Carell was able to bring this group of third-class disabled people from the college basketball industry to the NCAA national competition because of the ever-changing tactics. Princeton's tactics are also a kind of basketball idea that adapts to the changes. It is definitely not something you can play by learning a few routines.

When Bellman thought about this clearly during the break, Gonzaga was still 4 points ahead of his opponent, and it was not too late to be enlightened.

Sure enough, in the second half, combined with the situation in the first half and the foul issues of the starting players, Bellman rearranged the starting lineup.

Gan Guoyang and Stockton naturally couldn't move, and in the two positions of power forward and small forward, Bellman sent two substitutes. His only explanation to these two substitutes was "follow the person you want to stare at."

No matter how poor the talent of the Bulldogs players are, they are still people who receive basketball scholarships. They are all considered star players in high school and their running and jumping qualities are quite good.

So at the beginning of the second half, the Bulldogs exerted the Bulldogs' ruthlessness and began to implement a full-game tight defense!

The whole game was pressing tightly, there was no fancy or tactical changes, and it was up to the players' fighting spirit and physical strength.

The two players who replaced the starting lineup did not get many opportunities to play in their usual games, and only had about ten minutes of performance opportunities in a game, and sometimes they would send fouls when they went up.

And now, in the NCAA national competition, they have the opportunity to start in the second half, so how could they not try their best?

In contrast, the Princeton University player who served first obviously felt uncomfortable.

In the first half, they could be said to be very comfortable playing. The opponent always wanted to rely on tactical changes to strangle their offense, but in the repeated training, they had already figured out the loopholes in various defensive routines. No matter what kind of defensive strategy, they could find the "back door" and then use extremely tacit passes to help their teammates complete a fatal blow.

At the beginning of the second half, they even dribbled through half the game, let alone transferring the ball and running tactics.

"Keep-moving, keep-moving"! Don't let the opponent stand there and catch the ball comfortably! Give them pressure, put them pressure!" Gan Guoyang continued to act as the defensive commander on the court, and at the same time he also mentioned going online, entangling the opponent's core center.

Once the center can't catch the ball comfortably, Princeton's most common tactics are greatly affected, and they have to perform other tactical running positions.

The high-level offense was blocked, and they naturally turned low and began to use their No. 19 small forward Kevin Mullin to pry open the Bulldogs' back door.

In the first half, whenever the Tigers' offense went wrong - because not every time there was a chance to cut successfully, they would hand the ball over to top scorer Kevin Mullin and let him handle the ball.

Kevin Mullin can be said to be the most talented player of the Princeton Tigers. Although he is a white man, although he is only 6-6, he is the team's scoring and rebounding champion.

His free throw shooting percentage is also the highest in the team, and his ability to make fouls is excellent.

It is precisely because of his existence that the Tigers' offensive choices have greatly enriched the Tigers' offensive choices, so that they will not rely too much on team cooperation, and there will be a star player who can solve the problem at critical moments.

But Kevin Mullin's life is not easy now, because it is not someone else who defends him, but the Bulldogs' most clingy and hateful John Stockton, the Bulldogs' outside defense.

In the game against UCLA, Stockton successfully brought great trouble to Reggie Miller.

In fact, with Stockton's physical fitness, it is impossible to limit the other person's arrow character. He is too short and too slow.

But Stockton has always been known for his many small moves and his defense is entangled. He does not want to defend the opponent, but makes his opponent feel sad and cannot play at the pace he likes.

This is of no use for players of physical fitness, but it is particularly effective against players who rely on consciousness and emphasize the sense of projection rhythm.

Kevin Mullin is such a player. The reason why he can commit fouls is because he has a very good grasp of the time difference. He can always tease the opponent's "defensive passion" and then let the opponent suffer losses.

But Stockton doesn't take this trick. What he does is to interfere. If he interferes, he will not foul the rules and will never jump around.

So when Kevin Mullin leaned against Stockton and turned around and made two fake moves to trick Stockton, Stockton didn't move and ignored him at all.

Seeing that the fake move was ineffective and he could no longer dribble, Mulin took advantage of his height and directly pulled up and shot 12 feet to the right side of the basket.

Stockton still didn't move, just made some small moves to make Mullin's jump less comfortable.

Because he knew that he couldn't even jump up, and someone would come to block it.

"Bang!" is Gan Guoyang who came from the online market.

His long arms exceeded Mulin's expectations. He thought Gan Guoyang should not be able to cover it, but he did not expect Gan Guoyang to slap the ball off the back.

At the same time, Mulin also felt that his jumping was not sufficient, and his lower body seemed to be stuck. The jumping height was not enough, so he ate a big hot pot.

He knew it was Stockton's fault, but the referee did not notice these small moves, so he could only suffer a loss.

One is in the front and the other is in the back. This is such a simple and rough defensive strategy, but it is more effective than the complex defensive formation conversion.

After obtaining the ball, the Bulldogs were not too slow and handed the ball to Stockton. They had no problems in the offense, and it was absolutely right to play steadily.

In offense, the biggest problem for the Bulldogs is how to hand the ball to Gan Guoyang. As long as the ball is in his hands, the rest will be easy.

The Princeton Tigers must double-team Gan Guoyang, otherwise his hook will not be able to defend against it.

Once double-teamed, the Bulldog's empty cut is like the impeller of a windmill, one wave after another, constantly impacting the Tigers' inside line.

In the past games, the Bulldogs' inside line has always suffered from repeated attacks by other teams, and Gan Guoyang has always endured the opponent's forward line like a bulletproof vest.

Now, facing the Princeton Tigers with worse athletic ability, the Bulldogs' forward line is to turn over and serfs sing. Two newly replaced forwards act as a mighty man on the opponent's head and keep rushing for the frontcourt rebounds.

Gan Guoyang also subconsciously raised his position to a lighter position, leaving more space for the inside so that his team's forward line could be reversed.

When a team has better talent and athleticism, it will be easier to play balls. They often use some simple tactics to play opponents with excellent tactical qualities. This has been repeatedly staged in the history of basketball.

What's more, the Bulldogs are not a team that plays randomly. In the past, they were bullied by more talented teams. Today they are just adding the pain they have suffered to their opponents.

Now, Princeton was completely in a mess. After several attacks were destroyed by the Bulldog's mad dog defense, their morale began to decline after they could not limit Gan Guoyang or hold back the opponent's forward line in the defense.

When a team that relies on teams and tactics declines in morale, the consequence is that it is not active in running and makes mistakes easily.

In addition, their number one star was very uncomfortable by Stockton, so he could only score some goals in pieces and risked being admired by Gan Guoyang.

The Princeton Tigers lost the smooth offense they depend on for survival, and their defense still did not improve. After 10 minutes of the second half, the Bulldogs suddenly widened the gap to 16 points.

Although Coach Carell called timeouts several times, he hoped to regain confidence through adjustments and play the same feeling as in the first half.

Unfortunately, it became not them, but their opponent. The Bulldogs in the second half are no longer the Bulldogs with unclear positioning in the first half.

In the end, no matter how hard the Tigers tried, they could not narrow the gap to within 15 points. They also lost the first round of the NCAA national game with a disadvantage of 52:70 and 18 points, and were unfortunately eliminated.

As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Bulldogs fell into crazy joy. Although the audience could not understand them, they themselves knew what a big breakthrough and a great victory it was.

They entered the top 32 like this, one step further from Los Angeles.

When the two sides shook hands with each other after the game, Coach Carell came to Coach Bellman and stretched out his hand.

"Bobby, you did a good job. You finally found the real advantage of your team in the second half." Carell said to the young college coach.

"Thank you, Mr. Carell, you are more amazing than me. If we switch teams, I will definitely not be able to do this for you."

"No, Bobby, I'm suitable to be with these children who don't have talent, because I don't have talent, and I can understand them. But you are different. Although you are not a star player, you have the traits of a star coach, that is, you can control the star players." As he said, Carell looked at it and shook his hand, and happily talked about Gan Guoyang endlessly.

"Do you think he is a good boy, very, very excellent." Bellman said with a smile.

"Haha, good kid, maybe he is a good kid only when you are here. It is said that he is not a good kid in UCLA. Moreover, among those NBA superstars, few are good kids. But an excellent star coach can turn these bad kids into obedient and commanding good kids." Carell's words made a lot of sense.

Like Larry Bird, he had the same experience as Gan Guoyang. He didn't go to Indiana University, so he ran home to play jungle ball, and then went to Indiana State University.

Magic Johnson also forced the head coach away because he didn't like the coach's advice style and replaced him with Pat Riley who suited him.
