The Golden Age of Basketball

"The Trail Blazers played perfectly in the first quarter. Every player they started has maintained a good competitive state. They played a smooth offense. Everyone is an offensive point. This makes the Philadelphia 76ers have no choice. Concentrate defensive forces to deal with the Blazers; and their defense is also very targeted, the outside line gives good support and help to the inside line, and they have learned the lessons from the last game at the Spectrum Arena, protecting the backcourt very well Rebounds did not give the 76ers too many second-attack opportunities. All of these were the main factors for the Blazers to lead the 76ers by 10 points in the first quarter."

"Yes, so what went wrong with the 76ers? They were able to hold a stalemate with the Blazers at the beginning of the first quarter, but they seemed to struggle in the second half, which also led to a widening of the point difference."

"The 76ers' offense has some problems. Their players are caught in a one-on-one battle. Obviously facing the Blazers' effective defense, their offense is too monotonous and the efficiency is too low. I don't think Coach Cunningham should have thought that the Blazers The defense will be so resilient, if in 1983, the 76ers could easily tear up this lack of strength defense, but now we see that the 76ers' several storms are a bit weak."

bs的解说员在第一节比赛结束后，开始分析开拓者和76人在第一节的表现，开拓者暂时以35:25领先了76人队10分。

The Blazers performed very well in the first quarter, shooting 62% from the field to eclipse the 76ers' 51% shooting.They lost only one offensive rebound and didn't give Moses Malone and Barkley more opportunities.

After Gan Guoyang sent a foul in the opening ten seconds, he controlled his fouls very well in the remaining time, and tried his best to restrain Moses Malone on the defensive end, so that Malone only made 4 of 1 shots, plus a total of free throws. Score 5 points.

However, Gan Guoyang only made three shots but hit all of them. He scored 100 points with a 6% shooting rate and grabbed 6 rebounds, including 5 backcourt rebounds and [-] frontcourt rebound.

end of first quarter

Gan Guoyang was still replaced by Kenny Carr, and the Gan Guoyang-Drexler combination used against the Rockets did not continue to appear in this game. [

However, this did not affect the performance of the Blazers' second team. Instead, when Moses Malone and Irving were off the court, they relied on quick counterattacks to score consecutively against the 76ers, locking the difference between the two sides at 10 points.

"The second quarter is about to start. Dr. J is back on the court, but Moses Malone is still off the court. I think Dr. J must strengthen his offense to drive the team at the beginning of the second quarter. In the first quarter, Moses - Ma Long's storming is not very good."

The Blazers took the lead, and Colter, Drexler, Kenny Carr, Mitchell Sampson and Jerome Cosey formed the field lineup.

Ramsey is also aware that the 8-man rotation is a great harm to the health of the players, so in the absence of new deals, he also taps the potential within the team and develops the ninth regular rotation player.

As a second-round rookie, Cauchy used his hard work and positive attitude, plus his internal and external attributes, to gradually occupy his position as the ninth man in the team.

When Vandeweghe was off the court, he played as a small forward for the Trail Blazers and came to fight against Dr. J Irving.

"The Trail Blazers serve... Colter was flanked by the 76ers! The ball was almost lost, but fortunately Drexler stepped forward to receive the lead and stabilized the situation."

As soon as the second quarter opened, the 76ers' defensive strength suddenly increased. If Colter hadn't been cautious, his ball had been broken by Leon Wood.

After Drexler dribbled the ball through half court, he handed the ball back to Coulter, who watched and organized the offense at 45 degrees to the right.

At this time, he felt that the 76ers' marking was significantly enhanced, and the Blazers were in the second team. It was almost difficult for him to find a good offensive opportunity to pass the ball directly.

Mitchell Sampson asked for the ball in the low post on the right, but Barkley actively moved forward so that Colter did not dare to lob the ball easily.

Drexler doesn't have the ball-running ability that Paxson has, and of course it doesn't matter if he does because he can't make shots.

But Drexler has a strong ability to solve problems on the court. Seeing that the scene was a bit unopened, he immediately ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball. Coulter saw this and handed the ball to Drexler.

Drexler feinted after taking the ball, then directly dribbled the ball with his left hand, and quickly broke through from the left to cut in. Irving, who was defending Cauchy from the bottom corner, immediately stepped forward to defend. [

Drexler looked slumped as he charged in, but he had good vision and immediately sent the ball to the corner and passed it into Cozy's hands.

If it was Vandeweghe, the goal would probably be scored, but this is Jerome Cosey, and his shooting skills have not yet been developed.

One step inside the three-point line, the distance of 20 feet is still a little far for him, but he did not choose to break through, because this opportunity is really good.

"Cauci, a 20-foot mid-range shot! The ball hit the front basket, missed, and Barkley got the rebound!"

Cauchy's ball is not bad, but the accuracy is obviously worse, and it deviates a little far. Barkley also easily took off the backboard. This fat man is not tall, but his arms are very long, his butt is big, and he can control the area. It's not small.

Barkley got the ball and didn't hand it to Wood, but twisted his buttocks and began to dribble across the half court. The Blazers players didn't press hard, but quickly returned to the backcourt to defend.

"What does this fat man want to do?" Gan Guoyang, who was sitting on the bench, wanted to laugh when he saw Barkley dribbling with his butt up. In addition, the players were wearing tight shorts at that time, so it looked like they were walking with their butts stuck out.

Barkley dribbled the ball just after halftime, four or five meters away from the three-point line, and suddenly threw the ball forward with both hands.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, the basketball just flew straight to the basket.

But the Blazers players reacted immediately, the 76ers have Dr. J Irving, this is an alley-oop!

Sure enough, the ball was heading for Irving on the right side, and when Owen saw the basketball that was flying towards him, he jumped up after two steps, ready to catch the ball in the air and dunk it into the basket basket.

But Jerome Cosey was not going to let Irving stage an alley-oop at the Memorial Stadium. He followed Irving and jumped with him, and hit Irving in the air, trying to squeeze Irving's movement space.

If Irving was replaced by Irving in 1977, he would fly up to take the ball and dunk it directly after holding down Cauchy, but now he is 35 years old, although he can still fly and dunk well, but time is not forgiving. The healthy and strong freshmen still lost in the confrontation.

Neither of them could touch the ball, and the referee's whistle didn't sound, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline, a foul ball, and the Blazers had the ball.

"Barkley's ball...he has a good idea, but Dr. J is not the Dr. J he used to be." Hamilton also said with emotion.

The fans at the scene also began to laugh, and Gan Guoyang, who was sitting on the bench, followed suit and shouted at Barkley: "We are playing basketball, not football fat!"

Hearing this, Barkley was so angry that he wanted to rush to the Blazers' bench to fight Gan Guoyang, but he held back.

Because Owen walked up to him and comforted him in a low voice: "It should be a good ball, but I didn't catch it well, you did a great job."

After listening to Irving's words, Barkley quickly calmed down and put his energy back into the game.

Irving is such a peaceful and general-like leader. Except for Larry Bird, few people can make him lose his temper.

The 76ers re-entered the defense, and their intensity continued to increase, which made the Blazers' outside transmission of the ball no longer as smooth as in the first quarter.

In this case, Colter chose to pass the ball to Mitchell Sampson and let Sampson solve the problem.

Sampson got the ball in the low post on the left, turned his back to the 76ers' backup center Clement Johnson, swayed his shoulders to avoid Johnson's defense, and then turned over for a jumper.

If there is no one to defend, the ball would be safe for Sampson, but the little fat Barkley suddenly appeared from behind Johnson, leaped high, and stretched out his long arms to slap Sampson.

Of course, it is not so easy to block Sampson. Sampson avoided Barkley's block with a back, but the strength of the shot was obviously weak. Enter.

Cauchy got under the basket, trying to grab the offensive rebound. His speed was obviously faster than Irving's, and he occupied a more favorable position.

But Irving was experienced, standing behind Cosey, watching the ball go up and down the rim, and lightly pinned Cosey's back with his right hand.

Of course the referee saw Irving's little move, but he didn't blow it when Cauchy interfered with Irving's ball just now, so he just turned a blind eye to this little move.

Moreover, Cauchy has no experience, so if he was replaced by an experienced old fritter, as soon as he felt someone behind his back, he would definitely kick himself out first to make a foul.

Kexi honestly didn't do anything, only felt that his body was unbalanced for a moment, and then he watched Irving take off the backboard.

"Irving got the rebound. The 76ers launched a fast break. He passed the ball to Wood. Cheeks quickly entered the three-second zone and passed the ball to Irving who was following from behind. Irving made a one-step kill to the basket. One-armed dunk! Nice fast break, nice dunk, just like the first time we watched him play on B's court in 1971!"

Although Irving is a player of the visiting team, his dunk is really wonderful. He cuts directly from the back, catches the ball with his right hand, his left arm is flat, and he dunks with one hand. The speed is so fast that no one from the Blazers stepped forward to stop him. All the fans cheered for the beauty of the action.

"The fans in Portland are cheering for Irving's dunk. As long as it is not in the playoffs, the scene of away fans cheering for Irving's dunk happens every year."

"That's right, because he puts on a show like that every single game every year."

Gan Guoyang watched Irving's thunderous one-handed dunk, and his heartbeat couldn't help speeding up. The last time he had this experience was when he was playing against the Lakers and saw Magic Johnson pass all kinds of incredible passes.

"This is the fucking superstar." Gan Guoyang thought in his heart, he didn't know when he could win the cheers of the fans like this in the away game.

But soon, the Blazers, as the home team, hit the 76ers with a goal, and it was Drexler.

Seeing that the 76ers' blockade of the outside line was strengthened, they wanted to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the Blazers, so Kenny Carr and Sampson both pulled to the outside line, but left the inside line to Drexler.

Drexler competed with Andrew Tony in the low post. Drexler's physical fitness was obviously superior, and he squeezed Andrew Tony. Coulter saw this opportunity and lobbed the ball inside.

After receiving the ball, Drexler turned around and shook off Tony, and dunked the basket with one hand!

"Drexler dunks with one hand! He smashes the ball into the hoop like a center!"

"Ah! Ah!" Drexler yelled loudly after scoring the goal, and responded to Irving's dunk. The cheers of the audience reached a new climax. Obviously, the confrontation between the two sides became more intense at the beginning of the second quarter. .

Gan Guoyang couldn't sit still off the court. He stood up and waved the towel vigorously to applaud Drexler's goal, and he himself couldn't wait to play again.

But the 76ers' counterattack was not over yet. Barkley got the ball in the low post on the right. Facing the experienced defensive Kenny Carr, he was not afraid and began to pouted his big butt and arched inward.

Karl defended very well. No matter how Barkley arched or swayed, he just didn't give Barkley a good shot.

Barkley could only pass the ball back to Wood, and Wood lobbed the ball to Barkley. This time, Barkley didn't dawdle any longer, but directly pulled up and shot a jumper.

"Boom!" The ball hit the basket and failed to score. At this time, Barkley's shooting level has not yet reached a high level, and his shooting posture is a bit distorted after continuous confrontation.

The Blazers' basket is still huddled together, the Blazers are desperate to protect the backboards, and the 76ers like to grab offensive rebounds very much.

As a result, the ball fell, and the hands of the people under the basket touched everything, but they failed to grab it. Instead, the ball bounced a few times and fell into the hands of Irving, who was standing on the outside.

Irving didn't hesitate after getting the ball, and stepped straight to the basket.

Sampson and Cosey, who didn't get the rebound at the basket, both jumped up to block the shot, but they had no chance.

Irving grabbed the ball with one left hand in the air, twisted his whole body, lowered his raised left hand, then spared Sampson's side, and then picked the basket with a low hand.

"Boom!" The ball hit the board and went into the basket!

The scene turned into a sea of ​​joy, making it hard to tell whose home field it was.

"This is Owen's charm! No one can resist!"

Ramsey could only call a timeout at this time: "Gan, kk, get ready to play."
