The Golden Age of Basketball

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded.

"Wilkes' blocking foul, Wilkes' performance on both ends of the offense and defense today is not satisfactory." Zeke Hearn looked at Wilkes blocking the foul when he blocked Vandeweghe's ball in the half, and felt a little regretful. Said.

Zeke Hearn once referred to Wilkes's shot as a "20-foot layup" and nicknamed him "Silk" for his soft, silky touch.

And the hero of the Lakers' two-time championship, a ten-year veteran, finally couldn't help the years, his steps on the court became more and more heavy, and it took longer and longer to enter the state.

Pat Riley on the sidelines obviously didn't want to see Wilkes' poor performance on the court. He replaced Worthy on the field and replaced Wilkes to let him adjust.

"The Lakers made a personnel change, Worthy came on. Blazers serve, Paxson holds the ball, passes the ball ... the ball hits Cooper's foot and goes out of bounds."

Perhaps the two sides played too fast and too hard before, and the game suddenly slowed down and was fragmented by fouls and mistakes.

The Blazers served again, and this time it was Paxson who received the ball. He held the ball on the left side and cut directly to the basket from a 45-degree angle, and made a beautiful pick-and-roll with Kenny Carr.

After the pick-and-roll, both Lakers players went to double-team Paxson, who was going to the baseline. Paxson made a ground pass, and the ball passed between the two Lakers players and passed to Kenny Carr. [

Facing Bob McAdoo at the basket, Kenny Karl jumped up and dunked!

"Carl, take off, dunk! The ball missed... was destroyed by McAdoo, but McAdoo's thug fouled. He has fouled twice in a row since he came up in the second quarter, all to prevent the opponent from dunking."

Kenny Carr obviously went towards the basket with all his strength, so after the ball was destroyed, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

If the ball was fouled by Kareem, then Kareem would have lifted Kenny Carr up. Kareem has always been so friendly, which is one of the reasons he is so respected in the league.

But McAdoo is not a gentleman like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Anyway, he committed a foul and the referee blew it, so he patted his ass and left.

The former regular season mvp has been in various teams over the years, from a hot superstar in the league to a wealthy substitute, but his temper has not been smoothed by these experiences. On the contrary, he is as stubborn and irritable as he was when he was young.

The Blazers players wanting to dunk on his head continuously obviously made him very upset, so even if he fouled and sent the opponent to the free throw line, he couldn't let the Blazers players dunk the ball in.

Kenny Carr got to the free throw line and made both free throws.

"It's the same as I dunked in. No, you also paid for a foul." Carl said to McAdoo after scoring a free throw, meaning of course that McAdoo "lost his wife and lost his army."

"Shut up, idiot." McAdoo was a role player like Lazy Rical, even though he was a role player now.

But the Lakers immediately retaliated. Cooper dribbled the ball to the Magician after half court, and then Cooper went straight down to the low post on the right to make a screen for Worthy.

Worthy was originally on the bottom line on the right. After Cooper came over, he relied on Cooper's block to circle around and cut into the three-second zone from the outside roll.

The Magic just passed the ball to Worthy who was running, and Worthy took the ball directly to the basket.

"Worthy layup...Whoah! Sampson blocked the ball...No, the ref blows the whistle, interference ball."

Worthy threw a batting ball, the ball was blocked by Sampson after hitting the backboard, and was called interference ball, and the ball counted. [

For this kind of cooperation, the Blazers really have nothing to do, it is too fast and too tacit.And Sampson has done his best. If he can be faster, this ball will be a good risk.

"Steady, we need the success rate, we must bite the score!" Ramsey commanded from the side.

Now the game has entered a stable period. Both sides can score, and the defensive intensity is not strong. It is better than the ability of both sides to continue to increase points. This requires a stable offensive routine and an excellent finisher.

The Blazers did not do badly in this regard. They need to stabilize the point difference, and then try to catch up after all the main players come up.

Colter dribbled the ball slowly past the half court, and Sampson came up to support him. He held the ball and looked at it for a long time at a position of 20 feet, and found that there was no one within two meters of himself, and his teammates did not run out.

The Lakers are making an inside mid-range shot to prevent the Blazers from attacking the basket, thereby reducing the Blazers' offensive efficiency.

But Sampson is not a vegetarian either. How dare the Lakers let me go like this?Sampson's mid-range shot is not bad, he shot directly from the 20-foot position.

"Shua!" The ball went into the net hollow!

Although this ball is not a slam dunk, it undoubtedly gave the Blazers a great morale boost. If the Lakers still want to let the Blazers shoot inside, they have to think about it.

For the Lakers, let Cooper control the ball and let the Magic catch the ball after halftime. This is also a strategy, because the Magic is on the ball at this time, and you can’t let the Magic on the ball. Running around, someone has to keep an eye on him.

In this way, the Blazers' defensive tactics of locking up others and allowing the Magician to attack were instantly cracked.

However, the Magician did not become the terminator after the ball ran, and the Lakers still played the ball inside.

McAdoo asked for the ball in the low post on the left, and there was a hand-to-hand battle between him and Kenny Carr in the low post.

Kenny Carr knows that McAdoo's turnaround jumper is extremely accurate. Once he is allowed to easily receive the ball in such a position, the shooting rate is very high.

So he desperately used Rao to stop McAdoo from receiving the ball.

If it was Gan Guoyang who was circled forward, Gan Guoyang must have died and would have to get stuck in the position, but McAdoo has a lot of experience. He pretended to work hard to grab the position, but suddenly ran back and went straight to the basket.

Cooper lobs the ball in just right, and McAdoo blocks Sampson, who is coming to grab the ball, and wins it in the air.

After that, McAdoo tricked Kenny Carr, who was keeping up with the defense, with a fake move, and scored an easy layup.

"Bob~McAdoo~" the j at the scene called out McAdoo's name, accompanied by cheers from the fans.

"This annoying guy, I really want to go on the court and teach him a lesson." Gan Guoyang sat off the court and was already ready to move. The conflict between him and McAdoo started from the training camp in Palm Springs.

But unlike Mitchell Sampson, Sampson is Gan Guoyang's teammate, and McAdoo is a real opponent, so he doesn't have to worry about the relationship between the two.

However, there was no problem with the Blazers' offense, and Sampson continued to use his mid-range shots to hit the Lakers.

He was in the same position as a support for his teammates, only this time with his back to the basket, and Paxson was in front of him trying to use Sampson's screen to get rid of the annoying Cooper.

But Cooper clung to Paxson like a spider with a web, and Paxson could only pass the ball to Sampson to make a transition.

After Sampson took the ball, he turned his back and faced the basket, wanting to observe the position of his teammates.

But when he turned around, he found that there was no one within two meters in front of him again!The Lakers players shrunk inside again to block the trail of the Trail Blazers players interspersed and running.

Sampson didn't have the slightest reason, and immediately shot a jumper after turning around.

"Shua!" The ball went in again!

"Beutfu! (beautiful!)" Gan Guoyang couldn't help jumping up when he saw Sampson's goal. Although this goal was just an ordinary mid-range shot, there is no doubt that such a goal was a blow to the Lakers' defensive confidence.

"Beep beep!" Sure enough, Pat Riley called a timeout, and he needed to make some adjustments. Although the two sides were evenly divided at the beginning of the second quarter, this was not what Riley was satisfied with. The plot of the author did not materialize.

He originally expected to shrink the line of defense to force the Blazers to shoot, and then grabbed the rebounds to fight back, but they did not expect the Blazers to feel warmer in the second quarter, especially Sampson made consecutive mid-range shots, which hurt Riley very much.

"It's done well, but the touch is not something to rely on. We still need tactics and better running. I think they will continue to attack us after the timeout. We must withstand both ends of the offense and defense, and strive to be in the second place. Before the end of the festival, we can try to narrow the gap." Ramsey does not expect to turn the momentum of the game over at once, but at least the Blazers are recovering now.

At the same time, Ramsey also understands the style of the Lakers. The Lakers are a boxer who can throw heavy punches continuously. Even if these heavy punches do not hit the vital point, the opponent is not fatally hit by one blow, but they have been hit by heavy punches in more than ten consecutive rounds. Bombardment, in the end, it will always fall down because it can't support it.

Many teams, in the Lakers game, can still go back and forth and play brilliantly, but at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the players have already run out of energy, and they have been dragged down by the Lakers.

"After the timeout ended, Gan played again, replacing Mitchell Sampson. I don't know if Gan can shoot a 20-foot mid-range shot. I think he will hook directly." Zeke Hearn watched I didn't forget to tease Gan Guoyang when he played again.

Gan Guoyang rested for a few minutes, and immediately became energetic again. He saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar playing again, while McAdoo was still there, and Rambis was replaced.

"Hello-bob. (Hello, Bob)" Gan Guoyang looked at McAdoo and said lightly.

McAdoo glanced sideways at the rookie center, and his mind became angry again. Gan Guoyang's faint and cold expression made him feel that this guy was provocative.

McAdoo ignored Gan Guoyang, but devoted himself to the game.

The Lakers served from the sideline, and McAdoo ran out of the three-second zone and received the ball from the left baseline.

Due to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's blocking on the inside, Kenny Carr couldn't quite keep up with McAdoo, and the entire bottom line became an empty corridor.

McAdoo directly broke through with the ball, from the bottom line all the way to the basket.

If he was 10 years younger, he would definitely end the offense with a reverse dunk, but now he suddenly hits the basket with strength, but he feels a little lacking in strength.

This is a sign of declining physical function, so he can only change the dunk into a layup. Kenny Karl did not keep up, and Gan Guoyang seemed to be staring at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar without supplementing the defense.

However, McAdoo is 34 years old, and Gan Guoyang is only in his early 20s, which is the peak of his physical fitness.

"McAdoo drove for a layup and was blocked by Gan! The ball went out of bounds...The Blazers got the ball..."

Gan Guoyang was waiting for McAdoo to do this. He took one step and two steps, stretched his long arm, and then touched the ball, and the ball was knocked off. There was no foul at all. It felt like the ball was lightly taken from McAdoo's hand Take it down lightly.

After the ball fell, it hit McAdoo's foot and went out of bounds, and the ball returned to the Blazers.

"A smart block, Gan added a big lock to the Blazers' inside line as soon as he came on the court." Gan Guoyang's improvement in the quality of the Blazers' inside line defense after playing is obvious.

"One-shoot! One-shoot! (Score one! Score one!)" Ramsey was still shouting on the sidelines. It seemed that even if all the Blazers players were tired, the coach's voice not tired.

Ramsey hopes that the team can seize this opportunity and score a good one.

Just now you entered one on both sides and I entered the other, so the point difference has remained unchanged.

Now that one is finally defended, if this goal can be scored, the momentum of the two sides will show signs of turning around.

Gan Guoyang inherited Sampson's position and continued to support at the top of the arc.

And the Lakers, just like before, insisted on putting the Blazers inside two meters away.

Gan Guoyang really wanted to throw one in like Sampson, so that he could deal a bigger blow to the Lakers.

However, Gan Guoyang's mid-range shot has not yet been practiced, and Gan Guoyang is not sure about shooting from this position in the game.

He still passed the ball to Colter, and Colter caught the ball on the left outside, and then broke straight in!

Colter is also a young and powerful point guard. He is the shortest in the game but also the fastest, rushing into the hinterland of the Lakers at once.

However, the Lakers' shrinking defense was waiting for him. He quickly got into a tight siege at the basket and couldn't make a shot.

"pss! pss!" Gan Guoyang shouted while rushing towards the inside line.

Colter found a gap to pass the ball, but the Lakers' players crowded nearby, touched the ball, and the basket immediately became a mess.

This guy Gan Guoyang is also a master of chaos. This guy just reacts quickly. When he sees the ball is about to be lost, he immediately bends down and picks up the ball with his long arms and big hands.

But there are three Lakers players in front of him, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But Gan Guoyang was not afraid, and rushed up to the Lakers' inside line and layup directly.

"Bang!" The ball hit the backboard but missed, and even failed to touch the basket.

However, after throwing the ball, Gan Guoyang buried his head and rushed inside. This shot turned into a pass instead. Gan Guoyang scored an offensive rebound in front of two old men, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and McAdoo.

"Gan, shake it, turn to the left side of the basket, and dunk with one hand instead!"

Gan Guoyang escaped the blocking of McAdoo and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, turned to the other side of the basket with a beautiful footstep, and made a one-handed dunk!

The Trail Blazers players finally dunked the ball in, and they also narrowed the point difference to four points.
