The Golden Age of Basketball

"Magic is everywhere!" Zeke Hearn's voice crescendoed as Johnson threw a pass across the court for a layup by Byron Scott.

The cheers of the fans at the scene also came to a peak. For them, they go to the Great Western Forum Arena every night to watch Johnson's performance.

Four minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers led the Blazers by 4 points 13:4. The Lakers played a flood of offense under the leadership of Johnson, which made the already slightly tired Blazers a little overwhelmed.

Ramsey immediately called a timeout, and he knew it was time to choke the Magician.

The scariest thing about the magician is not only that his passing can create scoring opportunities for his teammates, but also that he can lead his teammates to the best state, a state of high concentration and full devotion to the game .

This is due to the rigorous training of the Lakers in normal times, which Gan Guoyang has a deep understanding of.

Johnson never reduces his intensity in training, but always directs the players to concentrate, otherwise you don't know what direction Johnson's ball will fly from.

If a player can't catch it, unless you are Abdul-Jabbar, sorry, it doesn't count if you get hit by the ball, and you will inevitably be criticized by Johnson.

Therefore, in official games, the Lakers players are always 100% devoted. From the starter to the bench, everyone obeys Johnson's command and is ready to attack at any time. [

"Everyone, don't pinch Johnson, don't focus on the magician with the ball! Lock other people! Leave Johnson alone, if he wants to score, let him score! Don't give him a chance to lead the team." Ramsey yelled at the players.

This is a common tactic against point guard teams. It is to cut off the connection between the point guard and other players. Point guards can score as much as they want, but if you want to pass the ball to your teammates and let them score, there is no way.

But this trick against the Lakers is not as simple as imagined, because although the Lakers have Johnson as the core, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy are not vegetarians. They both have a strong scoring ability. Master, this is almost impossible.

After returning to the game, the more important thing for the Blazers is to score. They only relied on Vandeweghe's jumper to score 4 points in the opening game, and they didn't score any other points.

Gan Guoyang didn't even get a chance to make a move, because this time the Lakers used Rambis to defend Gan Guoyang.

Rambis is a mediocre white blue-collar striker in every way, but his advantage lies in his hard work, especially on the defensive end. Gan Guoyang is very uncomfortable with his rounds and half rounds, and he can't catch the ball at all. .

On the offensive end, Rambis turned out to be the team's highest scorer. He has an excellent layup feel under the basket. As long as the magician passes the ball to him, he will always find a way to get the ball in.

"Valentine hesitates at the [-]-point line, he doesn't know what to do...Kan in the post, layup, one over the bridge...Vandeweghe gets the offensive rebound...Miss the layup, the Lakers get the ball , launch a counterattack!"

After Gan Guoyang got the ball in the low post, he was double-teamed by three people in an instant. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this.

But it was really difficult to pass the ball. There were people on three sides, so he could barely make a layup. In the end, he didn't even touch the basket, and flew directly across the bridge to the right.

Since the ball did not touch the basket, Vandeweghe couldn't reorganize after getting the offensive rebound, because the time was running out, so he had to layup immediately, but was interfered by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the ball missed.

Magic Johnson made a fast break after getting the ball. Fortunately, the Blazers retreated in time and did not give the Lakers a chance to score quickly.

The Blazers players want to do what Ramsey said, staring at other players and letting the Magic play alone.

However, the five Lakers opened up and let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hold the ball in the low post for singles. They couldn't possibly yell at the Magician, "If you have a different pass, you can play singles." Magician is not a fool, he still handed the ball over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's position was very deep. He slid from the bottom line on the right side to the left side. In this case, Gan Guoyang couldn't push him out of the three-second zone. [

At such a distance, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook is basically the same as an open layup. Gan Guoyang's extended long arm may interfere with him a little, but the effect is definitely mediocre.

But Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not make a hook shot, but a pass by a master. At the moment of shooting, he changed to pass and passed the ball to Rambis who inserted into the basket.

Rambis scored an easy layup.

I have to admit that the players of the Lakers are really offensively aware and everywhere, and the tacit understanding between each player is amazing. Rambis's few goals are all esy-bll.

Rambis has scored eight points, more points than the Trail Blazers have so far.

The Lakers seem to be saying to the Blazers that our worst starters can score like this, and you can't limit the rest.

"Wht--fuk..." Ramsey stood on the sidelines, his eyebrows felt like they were on fire. The timeout he called just now was basically the same as if he didn't call it. They still couldn't limit the Lakers' offense.

Gan Guoyang also clearly felt that the state of the Lakers was much better than at the beginning of the season. At that time, they lost to the Lakers in both games. Wouldn't it be even worse now?

In competitive games, the most feared thing is to lose confidence. Once there is no confidence, the original 50-point gap will widen to 100 points or even more.

Because you don't have confidence, the opponent will fight more and more vigorously, one enters a vicious circle, and the other enters a virtuous circle.

The Blazers were underprepared for this game. Although Ramsey made some preparations, his players were not so prepared.

Gan Guoyang originally thought that based on their performance in the two games of the New Year, they should be able to wrestle with the Lakers. Unexpectedly, they were beaten a little at the beginning of the first quarter.

"Stabilize, stabilize, we must score one!" At this time, Vandeweghe shouted loudly on the court. The Blazers' six points in the opening game were all scored by Vandeweghe, and now he is the only one who is still in form.

At this time, Valentine also decisively passed the ball to Vandeweghe. Vandeweghe caught the ball at the top right of the arc, and Gan Guoyang immediately stepped up to cover.

Vandeweghe shook his shoulders, and broke through from the right to the inside without Gan Guoyang's blocking. This was a false cover.

Gan Guoyang immediately went down, Vandeweghe had noticed Gan Guoyang, and directly threw it high, intending to have an alley-oop with Gan Guoyang!

Gan Guoyang understood, jumped up with both feet, caught the basketball in the air, and then threw it towards the basket!

"Lley-oop! oh-no...he-s-fle...(Alley-oop! Oh no, he was fouled.)" Zeke Hearn's heart tightened when he saw Gan Guoyang take off, and his voice was trembling. As a result, Rambis made a decisive foul and hugged Gan Guoyang in the air.

If Gan Guoyang's condition is better, he can play two plus one with this ball, and throw the ball into the basket the moment Rambis hugs him.

But Gan Guoyang also felt that his condition was not that good. The most direct feeling was that his reaction was always slow and his mind seemed a little confused.

For some balls, even if the reaction is 05 seconds slower, the result will be completely different. Gan Guoyang is obviously a little tired in this situation. Back to back and long-distance flight, no one can bear it.

"Gan's free throws, his season's free throw percentage is still not good, 70.00% six, which is a qualified data among centers."

When Gan Guoyang was practicing strength in college, his free throw percentage once plummeted. At that time, in N, if he missed the first free throw, others would directly grab the rebound, and he couldn't get a point, so Gan Guoyang was also very distressed about this.

Later, after a long period of practice, although his mid-range still failed to improve, his free throw percentage was finally raised to a normal level, and he would no longer be a super center lying on the free throw line.

Gan Guoyang often likes to spray trash talk to interfere with opponents when they make free throws, but he often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. He is also prepared to be sprayed when he makes free throws.

But this time, it wasn't from the Lakers on the court who spammed him, it was from the audience.

"your-throw-s-sht! your-throw-s-sht! your-throw-s-sht!" (Your free throw is shit!) Gan Guoyang squinted his eyes, and he found that it seemed to be the seat next to the Lakers bench Someone on earth yelled at him like that.

"Who the hell is talking so bad?" Gan Guoyang was still muttering in his heart, and then he threw the first free throw, but he really didn't make it!

Now the voice shouting "your-throw-s-sht!" on the sidelines became more cheerful, and even made up other words to disturb Gan Guoyang.

It is reasonable to say that Gan Guoyang's psychological quality is quite good, but no matter how good a free throw is, there are times when he misses two free throws. What's more, Gan Guoyang's free throw level is not top-notch. As a result, Gan Guoyang didn't make the second free throw. Adams is in the pocket.

"-s-your-throw-s-sht-n-tht's-rght! (I said your free throws look like shit then it's like shit!)" The harsh voice from the sidelines came again.

This time Gan Guoyang saw clearly that he was a cool-looking middle-aged man in a black leather jacket and black sunglasses. His voice was very magnetic, but the content made Gan Guoyang feel very harsh.

Now Gan Guoyang became angry. He knew that his missed two free throws were not due to interference, but a normal situation, but this time, it seemed that the man in the sunglasses thought it was his curse, and Gan Guoyang missed the penalty. .

"Who the hell is this guy? He wears sunglasses while watching the game? I'll blind you later, and it's useless to ask you to wear sunglasses!" Ya Shi insisted on teaching that man in sunglasses a lesson, making him so arrogant.

But the Lakers' offense is still sharp, so sharp that the Blazers have no time to react.

The Blazers' defensive formation has not yet been set up. The Magic's pass is like a sharp sword, stabbing from between the Blazers players through the heart of the basket.

This time it was James Worthy who was standing at the rim, and he even had time to dribble the ball before he dunked hard with one hand and scored.

"Focus on..." Ramsey on the sidelines didn't know what to say. He was also a little short of words. In fact, other point guards of other teams basically couldn't pass such a pass. Only a magician could. Sending such a pass, it is understandable that the Blazers players cannot prevent it.

"Your-eferene-ss-well (your defense is also shit)!" The man in sunglasses on the sidelines seemed to be competing with Gan Guoyang. When Gan Guoyang ran to the frontcourt of the Lakers, he heard the man in sunglasses yelling at him again.

Gan Guoyang endured it for the time being, and he was not going to have a verbal argument with this guy before he made a counterattack in action.

"Gve-me-the-bll!" Gan Guoyang yelled loudly from the right side, he had already hugged Rambis away and stuck him tightly behind him.

Gan Guoyang's vicious position is definitely ranked first in the league. Although Rambis plays hard and has rich experience, but his talent is not high and his physical fitness is average. Gan Guoyang used all his strength to compete with him. He I can only be pressed behind.

Valentine also knew that the team needs to score now, and the inside line is the most stable scoring area, so he decisively lobbed the ball to Gan Guoyang.

After Gan Guoyang received the ball, he turned his head and observed, and found that the Lakers were no longer double-teaming. Riley's requirement for defending Gan Guoyang was to double-team sometimes and not double-team, just to disrupt Gan Guoyang's rhythm.

But Gan Guoyang didn't expect any rhythm or irregularity. He was the one who scored the goal.

"Gan played singles with the ball, Rambis couldn't stand him at all, turned over quickly, and dunked!" Zeke Hearn shouted his classic phrase "slm-unk", even though it was a Blazers player who dunked the ball.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle also sounded, and Rambis fouled in the defense just now.

It can be said that Gan Guoyang ran Rambis all the way into the three-second zone, then turned around quickly, grabbed the ball with one hand, regardless of whether there was anyone around to help defend, and directly relied on his long arms to pour the ball into the basket .

A powerful dunk exploded directly in the heart of the Lakers.

Gan Guoyang squeezed his fist hard towards the seat next to the Lakers bench, and then shouted "just-lke-you, sht! (Just like you, shit! It means the other party is shit)"

After that, Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and easily made an extra free throw.

After the goal was scored, Gan Guoyang still waved his fist at the man in sunglasses.

The man in sunglasses could only smile helplessly, he thought this Chinese boy was really interesting.

"The camera was on Jack Nicholson. He seemed to have some verbal conflicts with Gan, and Gan seemed to be stimulated to have that wonderful dunk."

The man in sunglasses on the sidelines is Jack Nicholson, a die-hard Lakers fan, and his trash talk completely aroused Gan Guoyang's fighting spirit.
