The Golden Age of Basketball

(I just discovered that 4000 words per chapter is really the most effective number of words. It is more than 3000 and less than 5000. It is not worth 10000 after writing two chapters. It takes a lot of effort to make up 3000 words. At the same time, it also means that you can add more updates to speed up the pace. Starting next month, I will try to see if I can update it.)

"A tough dunk! Gan is like a small buffalo. He pushed the opponent away and grabbed the ball. His broad shoulders are like the buffalo's horns, which undoubtedly creates good conditions for his confrontation at the basket .”

Gan Guoyang's body shape is indeed the best template for playing basketball. He has long limbs, broad shoulders and thick back.

Gan Guoyang's dunk finally allowed the Blazers to sweep away the decline since the beginning of the first quarter and boosted the morale of the entire team.

"I think the Lakers are in some trouble. The Blazers are starting to find their sense of the game. We can feel that the Blazers are more and more determined to execute their tactics."

The Blazers have always insisted on their own tactical routines. Although the effect was not good at the beginning, they failed to completely lock the Lakers' offense, but the Blazers first stabilized their position.

They were no longer attacked by blue-collar players like Rambis at the basket like they were at the beginning of the first quarter. If the Lakers wanted to score, they had to use [-] points.

As long as the Lakers' offense becomes more difficult and their shooting percentage is reduced, even if it is only reduced by 5 percentage points, it means that every few rounds, the Blazers will have one more offensive opportunity and at least lose two points.

If the success rate of the attack is further improved, it will be four points inside and outside. [

Although a basketball game is not a math problem, the score will fluctuate with the trend of the game. The score is the most honest. You will not be given more points because of your dunk, nor will you be given less because of your free throw. point.

Therefore, the Blazers, who stood firm and stabilized their foots, finally withstood the Lakers' heavy punches and were able to start an effective counterattack.

In the second half of the second quarter of the game, the two sides entered a staggered stage, and the point difference between the two sides has been changing back and forth between 4 points and 2 points.

Gan Guoyang still didn't make an effort on the offensive end, because the Blazers' outside state was actually quite good in the first half, especially Paxson, who was quite eye-catching on both ends of the offense and defense.

On the offensive end, his shooting touch today was not good, but he decisively changed his strategy and began to increase his breakthrough and close-to-basket attacks.

Paxson's breakthrough speed is of course not fast, but his passing is very threatening. Once he is allowed to cut to the basket, it will cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers' defense.

On the defensive end, he mainly defended against Magic Johnson today. In the second half of the first quarter and the second quarter, Johnson's performance was not as exciting as it was at the beginning. Active marking also contributed.

With 55 seconds left before the end of the first half, Ramsey called a short timeout to arrange the last few offenses and defenses.

Ramsey didn't want the Blazers to go into the second half with a trailing score. At this time, they were still 56 points behind the Lakers 60:4. In almost all the games that the Blazers lost, they were behind in the first half and lost in the second half. of.

This shows a problem, that is, the Blazers are rarely overturned. This season, they have no examples of being overturned when they have a big lead.

The reason is that the Blazers' offense is very good, balanced inside and outside, and both fast and slow, so once the score is leading, the game will be smoother, as long as they don't encounter a team with a strong defense, or their hand feeling is too bad, the Blazers can maintain the lead until the end of the game. midfield.

At present, several of the strongest defensive teams in the league are in the East. For example, the Bucks, the Trail Blazers were directly defeated by their opponents. This is also a big test for the Trail Blazers who are about to face more Eastern teams.

On the other hand, the Blazers rarely come back and win the game. Once they fall behind too much at halftime, it is basically declared that the Blazers have lost the game.

This is because the defense of pioneers and trailblazers is too general. In the case of a large score behind, the key is to defend, and the defense must be able to increase the intensity, so that the opponent cannot score consecutive goals, and at the same time, the team can score quickly, otherwise You come and go, the more you delay, the harder it is to catch up.

Therefore, Ramsey must seize the last bit of time in the second quarter, try to smooth the point difference, and don't enter the second half with a lag. This is also a kind of psychological pressure on the Trail Blazers, because everyone knows that they The probability of losing at half time is very high. [

"Paxson, Sampson, kk, you form a strong triangle on the left side, Sampson you are in the low post, Paxson is in the bottom corner, Sampson is in the low post on the right, and Colter is at the top of the arc. San Simpson, after you get the ball in the low post, Paxson slides to the baseline, and with the screen of Gan and Sampson, runs to the baseline to attract the defense. You can choose to roll and cut to the basket, or you can choose to move outward to 45 degrees. If Paxson There is a chance to shoot, Sampson, you have to move the ball in time, and at the same time, Coulter should do a good job of responding and passing. kk remember to supplement Paxson's position, if possible, you can also choose to slip to the bottom line, or choose directly on the weak side Shooting. Gan, grab rebounds." Ramsey used extremely fast speech to arrange a strategy commonly used by the Blazers, moving the ball from the strong side to the weak side, and looking for offensive opportunities by pulling the opponent's defense. If not, the inside can also choose singles , a very flexible tactical arrangement.

Gan Guoyang stood next to Ramsey and listened carefully to the coach's arrangement, waiting for his name to appear, while preparing to keep his responsibilities in mind.

As a result, Ramsey said "Gan, grab a rebound" at the end of his speech. Gan Guoyang almost sprayed Ramsey on the head with a mouthful of Gatorade.

But Gan Guoyang naturally has to obey the coach's arrangement. Of course he wants to have the tactical status like Sampson. In fact, Ramsey often makes Gan Guoyang the tactical axis, but when it comes to critical moments, Ramsey still trusts him more Experienced Sampson.

"The timeout is over and the two sides are back on the court. There are 55 seconds left in the first half, and both sides have an attack. The Blazers should have one more chance to attack. Let's see this ball. Gan Guoyang sent a sideline kick ... Vandeweghe, passed to Paxson, Paxson lobbed to Sampson, Sampson singled in the low post... the pass! Colter broke through with the ball! The ball was passed to Vandeweghe, and Vandeweghe made a shot! The ball didn't go in!"

The Blazers' tactics were fine, but Vandeweghe missed a shot from the baseline.

After Sampson held the ball in the low post, he found that the Lakers were controlling Paxson very tightly. Rambis had already chased outside the three-second zone to surround Paxson, so the other side had no chance at all.

So he pretended to attack, but gave the ball to Colter who cut in. Colter also rushed in to make the Lakers' defense retract, and then passed the ball to Vandeweghe on the baseline. Vandeweghe made a shot, but the ball missed.

Gan Guoyang's main job in this offense was to serve a ball, and then he stood at the top of the arc and didn't know what to do.

Then seeing that Vandeweghe missed a shot, he couldn't rush in to grab an offensive rebound, the ball was too far away from him.

Gan Guoyang had no choice but to return to the defense quickly, but just as his butt turned around, Paxson stole the ball in the frontcourt!

After grabbing the backcourt rebound, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar saw that there was no chance to pass a fast break, so he wanted to stabilize and play a good one, but was attacked by Paxson behind him, and the ball was taken away by his opponent.

Once the ball fell to the ground, it was the world of the little man. Paxson fell to the ground and hugged the ball in his arms, and the surrounding Lakers players rushed to grab the ball, trying to cause a scrimmage.

Gan Guoyang really reacted very quickly. One day when money was dropped on the street, Gan Guoyang must be the fastest to pick up the most money.

He immediately turned around and rushed towards the basket. Paxson saw Gan Guoyang rushing over and threw the ball to Gan Guoyang before the Lakers attacked.

The ball was passed very low, but Gan Guoyang just bent down and grabbed the ball with one hand.

There is only one person standing in front of him, Rambis!

Rambis wanted to pull Gan Guoyang down with a fearless spirit, but Gan Guoyang didn't give him a chance to die heroically. From catching the ball to taking off, he did it in one go. He just raised his arm and smashed the ball hard Smashed into the basket!

"Beep beep!" The referee's whistle blew. Rambis didn't expect Gan Guoyang to be so fast, it was too late to stop, and Gan Guoyang made a 21.

"On't-touh-me~ (Don't touch me~)" Gan Guoyang said lightly to Rambis after landing, with a dignified and stalwart look on his face.

The Trail Blazers' bench has already exploded, and Gan Guoyang's dunk can't help being wonderful. If he makes a free throw, the difference between the two sides can be reduced to 1 point.

"Relax, relax, relax~" Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and muttered for a while while holding the center of the ball.

When the scores are so close, the pressure on standing at the free throw line is still relatively high, especially with Jack Nicholson yelling behind him.

After dawdling for a few seconds, Gan Guoyang still cautiously threw the ball to the basket.

"Boom!" The ball hit the neck of the basket and missed.

"Just-lke-you, sht! (Just like you, shit!)" Jack Nicholson did not forget to shout from the bench seat, and he found the opportunity to spray Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang was obviously too focused when making free throws, which caused his muscles not to relax enough, and the arc of the shot was obviously too flat.

Hearing Nicholson's words, Gan Guoyang really wanted to rush forward and pull all the hair off his head, so that he could only play a monk in the future.

But after the Lakers got the ball, they had launched a fast break, and Gan Guoyang flew back to the backcourt to defend.

The engine of the Lakers' fast break is naturally the magician, but the magician is not the only initiator. In fact, everyone else has very good passing and finishing abilities.

For example, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's long pass across the court after winning a rebound is one of his stunts, which is not worse than Gan Guoyang's at all, and he is even more outstanding in timing.

In the frontcourt, Cooper received this long pass and dribbled the ball straight to the basket!

Paxson has been defending Cooper, and the two have the opportunity to take off at the same time under the basket. Cooper is obviously faster and jumps higher.

But Paxson was stronger, and the two collided mid-air.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded again, and both of them fell to the ground.

Paxson fouled and Cooper would go to the free throw line.

However, Cooper stood up again, but Paxson seemed to have some problems. He clutched his calf with a painful expression on his face.

Paxson has been suffering from a calf injury, which has caused his ups and downs in the game.

In this game, his performance was actually very good, but an accident happened near the end of the first half.

"Oh, Paxson, his left calf should have twisted when he landed. With the support of the team doctor, he went back to the locker room early. I hope he's okay."

Ramsey covered his forehead and shook his head on the sidelines. He didn't expect that the first half was almost over and he injured a general.

It seems that in the second half, whether the Blazers can withstand it will be a huge test.

"Clyde, get ready to play and finish the last tens of seconds. Also, the second half is up to you."
