It is obviously difficult for Xu Xun to defeat Gan Guoyang, and one's skills cannot improve qualitatively in a short period of time - unless you are Gan Guoyang.
Gan Guoyang has nerves and physique that are different from ordinary people, which others do not have, and Xu Xun is certainly no exception.
The height difference between the two is more than 20 centimeters, and Xu Xun does not have the advantage in speed and flexibility.
A person who is taller, stronger than you, and faster than you, even if you have better skills than him, will not be able to win in a one-on-one duel.
What's more, in terms of technology, Gan Guoyang is already a semi-professional player.
"There is something wrong with the start of your dribbling. Your steps must be clear and clean. Don't just pursue speed."
"Use your off-hand, yes, ward me off, ward off! You did a good job, but still not close."
"Nice crotch dribble, but..."
Xu Xun almost passed Gan Guoyang with a crotch dribble.
But Gan Guoyang caught up with him in one step. Under his cover, he couldn't even see the basket during the layup.
After consecutive missed attacks, Xu Xun had to endure Gan Guoyang's "lesson".
However, Gan Guoyang did not talk trash to this impolite Korean guy. Instead, he gently pointed out his problems and corrected his technical moves while fighting him alone.
"Next time you should ask Mr. Bellman about his fake moves and skills when holding the ball. I am not very skilled in this aspect, but I have height and strength..."
Gan Guoyang attacked with the ball, pushed Xu Xun away with his back, turned and hit the basket, and easily hit the two-pointer.
9:0, with one goal left, Gan Guoyang can end this one-sided massacre.
Gan Guoyang threw the ball to Xu Xun and said, "Try again, man, don't give up."
Xu Xun took the ball, took two steps back, dribbled the ball heavily, and accelerated toward Gan Guoyang like an angry bull.
A straight-line breakthrough without any bells and whistles. Gan Guoyang dodged sideways to prevent the blocker, and then stayed close. The two jumped at the same time. Xu Xun struggled to reach for a layup, trying to avoid Gan Guoyang's block.
At the last moment, Gan Guoyang's hand slipped past the basketball, but he did not block Xu Xun's layup.
The ball was scored, and Xu Xun finally scored under Gan Guoyang's defense, 9:1.
Due to the huge inertia, he flew out of the baseline, failed to stand firm and slipped to the ground.
However, his face, which had always been somewhat angry, finally showed a trace of a happy smile.
Gan Guoyang stretched out his hand towards him and said: "Give me five! (High five to celebrate)"
Xu Xun stretched out his hand, but retracted it in mid-air and said: "The game is not over yet."
"It will be over soon."
With that said, Gan Guoyang dribbled to the outside, shot a cold arrow, and hit a long shot.
10:1, easily defeated Xu Xun.
Xu Xun finally said with conviction: "You are so awesome."
Gan Guoyang said: "You are also very good, your physical fitness is really good. By the way, can I ask you now, what do you do when you go to the second floor after extra training every day?"
Xu Xun said with some embarrassment: "I...I went to practice...Chinese Kung Fu..."
Gan Guoyang remembered that there was a martial arts dojo on the second floor of the sports center. It turned out that this guy was a kung fu fan.
"What about the injury on your back?"
"Those who fell out, and...there are also those who practice nunchaku fighting."
"Haha, nunchucks? So you can play with nunchucks. Do you like Bruce Lee?"
When he mentioned Bruce Lee, Xu Xun's eyes suddenly brightened up. He nodded and said, "He is my idol. I rely on him to persevere until now. Some injuries on my back were left in Korean schools..."
Gan Guoyang looked at Xu Xun's serious expression and didn't ask any more questions.
After the two finished their extra training and changed clothes, Gan Guoyang asked Xu Xun where his family lived.
Xu Xun said: "My family owns a Korean restaurant, on... on Ellis Street."
"So your family also owns a restaurant and lives in the Tenderloin District? That's great. Let's have dinner at your house."
With that said, Gan Guoyang went to the public phone booth and called home, asking Gan Guohui and Chen Xing to go to the Korean restaurant on Ellis Street for dinner, saying that someone was treating them.
Xu Xun had no choice but to take Gan Guoyang back to his family's Korean restaurant.
Gan Guoyang met Xu Xun's father, a serious Korean man.
He was obviously surprised that his son brought his classmates to his home for dinner, and after learning Gan Guoyang's identity, he decided to give them a free meal.
When he learned that his son had joined the school basketball team, Xu Xun's father's expression changed and he raised his hand to give him a slap. However, Gan Guoyang stopped him and said that Xu Xun was a very good basketball player and now the basketball team could not do without him. (Can’t actually live without either one).
During the meal, Xu Xun looked at Gan Guoyang with no anger anymore. He took the initiative to help Gan Guoyang grill the meat and pour water, which surprised Gan Guohui and Chen Xing. When did this stone become so polite?
On the way back, Chen Xing and Gan Guohui were surprised. How come this thorny head was subdued by Gan Guoyang in just half a day?
Gan Guoyang said: "I had a bullfight with him in the afternoon and defeated him."
Gan Guohui said: "Let me just say it! The Koreans are just like the Japanese. They will obey whoever beats them and cripples them. They just have to beat them hard."
Gan Guoyang didn't say much. Of course he knew that Xu Xun was not convinced by him.
Gan Guoyang was all too familiar with the inexplicable anger in his eyes. It was seen in many children in the orphanage, including himself.
That is the common emotion of children who are helpless and unloved. That kind of anger is their last foothold in this world. Only when they fight against the world can they find a little bit of themselves. The meaning of existence.
At this time, as long as one person stands up and says, "You are very good, I admire you very much", their anger will easily dissipate, and then they will do everything they can for that little bit of encouragement and recognition.
Aldous Huxley, the author of "Brave New World" once said: "It is not ideal to control people by punishing those who behave inappropriately, but giving small favors to those who behave appropriately can strengthen control over people." … By manipulating the environment and manipulating individuals’ thoughts and feelings through non-violent means, governing society in this way has very good results.”
Gan Guoyang has never read this book and does not understand these principles, but he learned this set of techniques on his own in the orphanage, so he rarely uses violence, but he can treat some thorns docilely.
Of course, the premise is that you must use violence to destroy your opponent's confidence.
On Saturday, the Beiqiao Shui Zhong team ushered in their first game since the establishment of the team. The opponent was another Chinese school team in Chinatown - the Lai Hwa Middle School Tigers.
Lihua University has a longer history than Peking University. It was founded in 1888, nearly a hundred years ago.
They have always had a basketball team, which was average in strength in San Francisco, but was already the leader among Chinese teams - before Gan Guoyang arrived.
As for why they did not invite Gan Guoyang to join the team, it is because Lihua Middle School is mainly composed of students from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are political differences with schools like Beiqiao, which is mainly composed of mainland students.
The Chinese Endeavor Association helped Beiqiao Middle School establish a basketball team in order to compete with Lihua Middle School.
Both sides attached great importance to this game and set the game at the Kezar Gymnasium in the city center. Before the War Memorial Stadium was built in 1958, it had been the home court of the University of San Francisco's NCAA tournament, as well as many professional and amateur basketball games. The team’s home stadium.
The game time is scheduled from 3 to 5 pm. The players gather at the school after lunch and take minibuses to the competition venue.
Before getting in the car, Bellman noticed that Xu Xun took the initiative to help Gan Guoyang carry his luggage. Could this thorny head be subdued by Gan Guoyang?
Behrman asked Xu Xun why he did this, and Xu Xun simply replied: "He is a senior."
Bellman looked at Gan Guoyang, and he realized that this kid was really not simple. Frank Alok was right, he had the ability to control people's hearts.
