he sits in his seat, his mind filled with Gan Guoyang’s brilliant offensive techniques, already contemplating how to practice those superior offensive skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be imagined that in the coming days, Kobe’s dreams will include not only Vanessa but also more basketball techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Gan Guoyang does not intend to prevent Kobe from thinking or doing as he pleases; the path he chooses to walk, he will eventually walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Salt Lake City, the next stop for the Trail Blazers is San Francisco Oakland, where they will challenge The Warriors on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang just played a game scoring 57 points in three quarters, causing a stir in the Oakland media, because every time he returns to San Francisco, Gan Guoyang always delivers an exceptional performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gan Guoyang’s hometown in America, the enthusiasm of San Francisco fans, combined with hometown affection and the Gan Zu advantage, makes every Oakland battle of Gan Guoyang full of firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, with Kobe and Sabonis both returning for this match, the pressure on The Warriors is even greater, and a sentiment of defeat has already settled before the battle has begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors’ performance this year is not good; since the distant 1975 championship, The Warriors have never truly stood on the stage of championship contention again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place never lacks talent, from Bernard King to Hardaway, Mu Lin, Richmond, and now Joe Smith, Antoine Jamison, Larry Hughes, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors have consistently had high draft picks over the years, with opportunities to select talented players each time, yet they always fail to integrate these players into a fighting force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team owner has always been shortsighted, lacking a long-term team management plan, slipping wherever he can without any real direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 1994, Chris Kohan bought The Warriors from Jim Fitzgerald, and one of the worst owners in NBA history took office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gan Guoyang first entered the League, The Warriors’ owner was Mi Ouli, a fan-style owner at the time — owning no other major industries apart from the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With David Stern taking office, he actively introduced big capital; in 1986, Mi Ouli sold The Warriors to Jim Fitzgerald (the former Bucks owner), one fan-style owner after another began to dwindle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, almost all NBA owners became industry giants, rich businessmen, with NBA teams as just a part of their asset allocation, and the monetary game of the NBA grew larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris Kohan was also a wealthy businessman; he established Sonic Communications cable TV network in 1977, later growing it into one of the largest independent cable networks in All-America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, he had numerous other industries, especially emerging technology sectors, holding vast wealth; he bought The Warriors for 130 million US Dollars and renovated the Oakland Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 1997-1998 season, The Warriors changed their team logo, adhering to the current NBA trend of cartoony, flashy logos, designing a Flash Man look, using new color schemes and cool floor colors, giving fans a fresh experience and conveying Kohan’s desire to make a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Kohan had no talent in managing the team, lacking patience, and was clueless in team building, often making short-sighted moves, causing The Warriors to consistently lack stability, slowly declining into a standard bad team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of lineup, The Warriors aren’t bad; particularly luxurious in terms of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the interior, they have North Carolina star Antoine Jamison, in the exterior, Van Exel, Glen Rice (acquired in the trade for Spree).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides lacking a defensively strong center, The Warriors have good configurations in other positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, The Warriors’ season performance remains poor; PJ Carlesimo led the team to a 6-20 record and was fired before Christmas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonists of the choking incident, one was traded to New York, the other soon ended with a dismissal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors, lacking even a stable coach, drifted along; Gary Gene, who replaced PJ Carlesimo, is clearly not an outstanding head coach, merely a transitional figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors’ biggest problem is their defense is too poor; to put it bluntly, they are the worst defensive team in the League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They concede 103 points on average, the most in the League, with the defensive efficiency ranked lowest, trailing in backcourt rebounding, having the worst rebound rate in the League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offense raises the ceiling, defense holds the floor; without defense, The Warriors have their lower limit breached, naturally resulting in poor performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Formerly, PJ Carlesimo was not adept at handling player relationships; when Spree strangled his neck, no player came to stop it, a matter that continued to haunt him, leading to a lack of unity within the team, and naturally, a miserable performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight facing the Portland Trail Blazers, the only player from The Warriors showing some fighting spirit is Van Exel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This former Trail Blazers player undoubtedly holds resentment against Portland; during his years there, he couldn’t capture a championship, perfectly avoiding the Gan’s championship-winning years, which is quite remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 1997, after conflicts with the team led to a trade away, the Trail Blazers soon delivered a whirlwind 77-win super season in the new season.\u003C\u002Fp>",924,"2026-06-06T01:42:06.584Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4b5e7c2a33f89d2dc424888bd862bedb8d8ee3792a8213754fffea8e50f2ccf","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1733","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1592",2033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-age-of-basketball-cover.jpg"]
