The Golden Age of Basketball

"Welcome everyone to watch the first game of the new year. The Portland Trail Blazers are playing against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Hello everyone, this is Hamilton. Today we have invited Mr. Crouch as our guest commentator again. This is the third team in the Western Conference. In a focus battle against No. 2 in the Eastern Conference, the two sides are actually ranked No.[-] in their respective divisions, but because they are in the same and a half divisions as the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, they are ranked No. [-] in the ranking. Can only be ranked third. In the last match between the two teams, the main center of the Blazers, this year's No. [-] pick Gan was suspended for punching Lambir, so he was unable to participate in this game. In the end, the Blazers also lost in an away game And now, their center is finally back, what kind of help will this Chinese kid who brought us many surprises in the new season bring to the Blazers, Mr. Crouch." The first day of the new year God, nb only has two games, except for this one, the other game is the Utah Jazz against the Indiana Pacers.

Compared with this battle between the strong teams in the East and West, another game between the underdogs in the East and West is really nothing to watch, so BS gave priority to broadcasting this game. The commentator and commentator were Crowe, who once explained the game between the Trail Blazers and the Pistons Odd and Hamilton.

"First of all, in the last game where the Trail Blazers lost to the 76ers, they lost 76 rebounds to the 20ers. The Blazers' rebounding protection level, you know, he is the rebounding leader in the season so far, and he can contribute 157 rebounds per game."

"Second, Gan has shown a very strong scoring ability in some games. Although this ability does not seem to be stable, I believe that this will bring a lot of defensive pressure to Moses Malone. The Blazers last game The inability to contain Moses Malone was the main reason for the failure."

"So, we believe that the Trail Blazers with a complete lineup will dedicate a wonderful game to us at home with the Philadelphia 76ers!"

"..."

The two commentators were still talking and laughing happily, and the game on the field had already started.

"Okay, the game has started, the 76ers got the ball first...Gan seemed to be stunned when the ball jumped... Malone got the ball in the low post, his position was very deep, and he turned for a layup! The referee's whistle sounded Yes, Gan made a foul."

Gan Guoyang fouled when he was defending the first ball. In fact, he didn't make much movement, he just stood upright, but Moses Malone took the initiative to lean on him, and his arm hit Malone's shooting hand. The referee It is natural to call a foul. [

"Damn it, this guy fouled so early again!" Ramsey on the side became annoyed when he saw Gan Guoyang fouled on the first ball.

If Gan Guoyang fouls twice soon, then all his pre-match preparation plans will be ruined again, and the plan really can't keep up with the changes.

Moses Malone got to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. Gan Guoyang grabbed the rebound steadily.

After Gan Guoyang got the ball, he found that the 76ers players were still surrounding him relentlessly, trying to get the ball from him.

Gan Guoyang saw that it turned out to be Charles Barkley, the "little humanoid tank" who was wearing the No. 34 jersey and had not lost all the "hair" on his head.

As a famous big-mouth commentator in the future, Barkley is very famous among the fans, but when he was young, he was already a gangster.

On November 1984, 11, in a very challenging game against the Boston Celtics, Irving and Bird had a big fight. Barkley stepped forward and strangled Bird's neck, making Owen face Bird with two old punches. .

In terms of playing style, he also learned from Moses Malone in an all-round way. He has a fierce and domineering style of play, is good at grabbing offensive rebounds, and never misses any chance to steal the ball.

He saw Gan Guoyang block in front of him like a wall to get the rebound, so he wanted to take the ball out from behind, but Gan Guoyang had sharp eyes and quick hands, and raised his arm to avoid it.

"Go away, fat man!" Gan Guoyang glanced at Barkley, said coldly, and then passed the ball to Valentine.

Barkley got angry all of a sudden, but at the beginning of the game, he hadn't mixed up to the point where he started doing it because of a single sentence.

He gave Gan Guoyang a vicious look, then ran back to defend.

Gan Guoyang has long since stopped treating beanbags as dry food and these future superstars as idols. He is now equal to them, the same!

Valentine dribbled steadily across half court and handed the ball to Vandeweghe on the right, who was facing Owen's defense.

Although Vandeweghe played as a small forward, he was still slightly biased towards power forwards in terms of offensive skills, or most small forwards at the time had this technical characteristic-very good post-up skills. [

Vandeweghe caught the ball very far from the baseline. Instead of facing the basket, he turned his back and began to squeeze in.

He knew that wanting to break through Owen's face-up basket was different from a dream, and there were more choices if he turned his back.

Vandeweghe squeezed to about 15 feet from the basket step by step, and the rest of the Blazers also kept running.

Gan Guoyang ran to the left and made a screen for Paxson, but Paxson failed to completely get rid of the defensive entanglement, and made a cross exchange with Sampson near the three-second zone.

After passing the ball, Valentine ran to the top of the arc and pretended to catch the ball to attract the 76ers' defense. Gan Guoyang covered last night and went to the bottom corner to pull the defense.

Near the three-second zone, the tricky Paxson has already switched positions with Sampson, slipped into the three-second zone, Vandeweghe passed a beautiful through ball to Paxson, and Paxson made a layup!

"Paxson's cut layup! The referee's whistle blew, and Moses Malone fouled! What happened today? The main centers of both sides fouled once in the opening game. Are you too excited? What do you think of this tactic of the Blazers? ?”

"Very, very beautiful offensive position, the two inside screens are well done, Vandeweghe is on the right side, can attack and pass, everyone participated in this tactical coordination, it is a perfect coordination. So the 76ers also Only a foul."

Although the Blazers have always been good at quick counterattacks, Ramsey's positional offensive training is not covered. After Gan Guoyang's tactical awareness became better and better, the Blazers' offensive position became smoother.

Paxson's season free throw percentage is 80%. He made two free throws and the Blazers took a 2-1 lead.

"Two free throws, 2:1, 76ers attack. Oh, the Blazers defended a full court, Valentine directly pressed" Maurice Cheeks in the frontcourt, and Cheeks passed the ball long Andrew Tony, Tony, lob to Moses Malone in the low post, double-team, Paxson double-teamed and interfered with Moses Malone, Malone passed the ball back to Tony, Tony... Tony chose to shoot a three-pointer! The ball missed! Willing to accept the rebound! Did not give Malone and Barkley a chance."

"Judging from the Blazers' opening defense, they must have made sufficient preparations. Whether it is offense or defense, their tactical thinking is very clear and accurate. In comparison, the 76ers seem to be a little less prepared."

During the three-day rest period, Ramsey did make full preparations for this crucial game. Defensively, he required the entire field to lead the defense against Maurice Cheeks at the beginning of the game, choking the source of the 76ers' offense.

Then, it is required to double-team defense against Moses Malone, because the two old guns on the outside of the 76ers, Julius Owen and Andrew Tony are not as terrible as in the past, especially Tony, whose state has declined sharply.

After Gan Guoyang got the rebound, he handed the ball to Valentine again. In this game, Ramsey assigned him the task of protecting the backboard.

As a half fan of Moses Malone, Gan Guoyang knew how terrifying this seemingly meek center was in the interior, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

The Blazers are still in the previous offensive formation. The difference is that Valentine did not pass the ball to Vandeweghe in the bottom corner, but directly handed it to Paxson who bypassed the top of the arc.

Paxson swayed past Andrew Tony and broke through directly. The 76ers immediately shrank their defense and blocked Paxson.

Instead of forcing a shot, Paxson made a beautiful pass directly to Gan Guoyang, who cut in from the right to the basket.

"Kim took the ball for a layup, was disturbed, missed, he got the offensive rebound, layup again! Still missed! The ball was caught by Andrew Tony, and the 76ers launched a fast break!"

Gan Guoyang's inevitable layup at the basket was besieged by four players from the 76ers, and he missed it twice in a row.

The 76ers' All-Star guard Andrew Tony has been plagued by injuries this season and his state has declined, but his speed with the ball is not slow at all.

He passed the two piles of Vandeweghe and Paxson in a row, rushed to the basket with big strides, and was about to layup directly.

But as soon as he took off, he was in the air, and as soon as he let go of the ball, he felt a huge force coming from behind him.

"Boom!" The basketball was slapped on the backboard.

Andrew Tony didn't understand it when he fell down. Gan Guoyang was still under the basket just now and couldn't make a layup. Why did he chase back so quickly and gave him a big cap?

The fans at the scene were also jubilant, but their excitement lasted just two seconds, and Barkley had already grabbed the offensive rebound like a bull.

Seeing this, Gan Guoyang, together with Vandeweghe who was following him, stepped forward to cover Barkley, but Barkley didn't hold the ball firmly and was struggling on the ground to catch the ball.

Just when the two stepped forward to block Barkley, Barkley grabbed the ball, stood up, and pushed Gan Guoyang and Vandeweghe away with his shoulders.

Gan Guoyang was fine, but Vandeweghe felt like he was kicked out all of a sudden. After clearing the obstacles, Barkley successfully put the basket with both hands, and Philadelphia 3:2.

"Get-out-bth. (Get out of the way, girl.)" Barkley looked at Gan Guoyang and said after scoring a goal, and then ran away with his big butt twisting.

"Calm down Gan, don't fight with him." Vandeweghe on the side heard what Barkley said. He knew that Gan Guoyang sometimes has a short temper, and he often competed with his opponent on the court.

"No problem, I don't care about gains and losses with fools." Gan Guoyang said with a smile, and then served from the bottom line.

On the New Year's Eve yesterday, Wang Fuxi told Gan Guoyang that he hoped that he would be more calm in the game in the future, and he must not fight with others.

"You know, that time when I watched the news, you were suspended for fighting with someone in Detroit. I was so anxious that I didn't attend class, so I bought a plane ticket to Detroit. I didn't know you were going back to Portland."

Wang Fuxi's words reverberated in Gan Guoyang's ears. Gan Guoyang, who suffered from a ditch and gained wisdom, will think twice before acting whenever he encounters a fire in the future.

Of course, Gan Guoyang, who has no temper, is not Gan Guoyang. He doesn't want to see Barkley dominating his head.

After Valentin got the ball, he suddenly accelerated his speed. Gan Guoyang saw that he was going to play a fast attack, and immediately rushed to the basket.

Valentine once again passed the ball to Vandeweghe on the bottom line of the wing. This time Vandeweghe did not stop the ball with his back, but made a direct cross pass, and the ball went straight to the basket.

Before the 76ers had time to close the door, Gan Guoyang rushed into the three-second zone and received a pass from Vandeweghe.

Gan Guoyang did not force a layup like the previous attack this time, but made a feint and shot a feint.

Moses Malone was too experienced to be fooled, but Barkley, who was short-tempered behind Gan Guoyang, had already flown into the air.

Gan Guoyang took advantage of the situation and made a comeback, pretending to be upright with Barkley in the air.

"Gan Xu, let's get up again! The goal is scored! Barkley fouled, and he will be fined!"

"Yes!" Gan Guoyang scored the ball and added a penalty. He waved his arms fiercely after landing, and then looked at Barkley behind him with a look of shame. This fat man is really strong. Lee suppressed a direct foul, and only Gan Guoyang could score with Barkley on his back.

"Good shot! Forrest Gump, come on!" Wang Fuxi's voice came from the sidelines, in the first row.

Since Wang Fuxi came to Portland, he naturally wanted to watch Gan Guoyang's game in person.

"On the sidelines, it's Gan's girlfriend, a Chinese-American mixed-race girl who is still in college in Spokane. She's a very beautiful girl." The camera of the TV station panned to the sidelines of the audience. As a host, some gossip about players still needs to be understood.

"Gan made an extra penalty, scored a goal, and made a beautiful three-pointer. The Blazers rewritten the score to 5:3. They were very motivated in the opening game. The three-day rest gave them a good rest."

"Yes, the Blazers have clear tactics and aggressive fighting. I think they will bring us a new look in the new year."

"Oh, Julius Erving, from the low post on the right, pass Vandeweghe with the ball, one-handed dunk! One-handed dunk! On Gan's head! Julius Erving, the knife is not old!"

Before Gan Guoyang could get over the excitement of playing a three-pointer, he was slammed by "Dr. J" on the defensive end.

The audience saw that Dr. J had cut off his afro head, and his footsteps were no longer flexible and light. They didn't expect that he could still dunk on the head of their star center in Portland, at the Memorial Stadium.

As he often did in the 1977 Finals.

"But the final victory belongs to Portland." Ramsey thought silently on the sidelines.
