The Golden Age of Basketball

"73:59, Gan hits the hook at the buzzer! The second quarter is over, my God, the Blazers played crazy offense in the second half of the second quarter, and their hands are hot enough to make Boston Garden The square melted! The Blazers completely controlled the game in the first half, and they proved with their own performance that it is not a fluke that they can occupy the No. [-] position in the Western Conference."

The first half of the game ended with Gan Guoyang's hook shot at the buzzer. The Blazers widened the gap between the two sides to 14 points. This was a situation that all audiences and fans did not expect.

After K Jones called a timeout, the Blazers replaced the starting four, plus Kenny Carr, Sampson rested, and McHale was replaced by Bird.

The entire Blazers burst out with amazing offensive energy afterwards. After the absence of Sampson, the Blazers completely used Gan Guoyang as the axis to run the ball. Paxson and Vandeweghe actively moved, Carl picked up the leak, and Valentine channeled Passing the ball from the outside, the entire Blazers played a smooth offense.

Several players started to rest at the back end in the first quarter, and got a very sufficient buffer time. In addition to the physical reserves of the past few days, the entire Blazers played very aggressively. In terms of offensive and defensive aggressiveness 』 are very strong.

In contrast, the Celtics are still relying on the individual performance of several players. They have not opened up two important offensive points on the wing and low post. One has no touch, and the other is suppressed by the Blazers. They can only rely on Dennis Johnson Play transition ball with Larry Bird.

Gan Guoyang's performance in the first half can be described as the perfect center in Ramsey's mind, with 10 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals. The overall statistics of this half are completely Bill Walton style.

Especially Gan Guoyang's passing, although it is not yet perfect, the finishing touch, but at the very least, he does a good job of transferring the ball and opening the through ball.

In the counterattack, he even staged alley-oops and super long passes, causing the entire Boston Garden arena to often fall into dead silence. [

The control of backcourt rebounds makes Boston not have many opportunities to launch a second offense, but it can provide enough medicine for the Blazers' counterattack.

Astonishing first half, the Blazers returned to the locker room with an advantage for halftime.

"Great! Wow! The perfect first half! We played so damn well!" After Gan Guoyang made the buzzer hook and got himself a double-double in the first half, the deer who was so happy from the players Channel ran back to the cold locker room.

"Well done guys, our tactics succeeded, but it was only the first half. The second half is still waiting for us. The Celtics will definitely counterattack with all their strength." Ramsey always has a strong sense of urgency.

Gan Guoyang knew that there must be a "but" in Ramsey's words, and he was not very worried. In his opinion, the Celtics are at the same level as the Lakers and 76ers. Since they can beat The Lakers and 76ers, then beating the Celtics away is not an impossible task.

"We can beat them, McHale can be completely locked up, and their offensive touch is also in a mess. Only relying on Bird and J, I don't think they have much chance. Today's momentum is here!" Gan Guoyang Station When he got up, his head almost hit the cabinet. He was very confident in the team's performance.

"That's right, if we can beat the Lakers, we can also beat the Celtics!" Jerome Cosey's performance in the first half was also very eye-catching. He contributed 2 steals, all of which provided opportunities for the Blazers to counterattack .

"Haha, you two guys, don't be too complacent. Although I have confidence in the team's performance, we played very well, but underestimating the enemy will only lead to a miserable failure, and the opponent is the Celtics and Bird." Mitchell Sampson spoke to these two young people as an old man.

"Bird? I don't think kk is worse than him!" Gan Guoyang said surprisingly.

In later generations, Gan Guoyang didn't know Bird's playing experience, he just knew that this person was awesome, but he didn't know how awesome he was.

In the actual match against Bird today, Gan Guoyang felt that Bird was a white man with a particularly accurate shot, and he could also shoot empty shots. He fought with Gan Guoyang a few times, but was pushed back by Gan Guoyang.

So in Gan Guoyang's view, Vandeweghe may be better than Bird, at least during one-on-one training in the team, Vandeweghe can often play tricks on Gan Guoyang with his famous "Vandeweghe step".

"Don't be unwilling, don't say that, I really want to beat Bird, but I also admit that there is a gap between me and him." Unlike many arrogant players, Vandeweghe has always been very humble.

But Gan Guoyang is naturally different. His strong competitive spirit makes him dare to despise all opponents.

In this regard, Larry Bird is exactly the same as Gan Guoyang. At this time, he is silent in the luxurious home locker room of the Boston Garden Arena. [

Unlike his old rival Magic Johnson, Larry Bird is usually a man of few words, although his trash talk on the court is like a torrential river.

But today's first half of the game made Larry Bird extremely depressed. Although he scored a half-time high of 16 points, the performance of other team players did not satisfy him.

Bird felt that the game was completely out of his control. The Celtics and himself had been led by the Blazers.

Especially the Chinese center Gan, he seemed quite arrogant on the court, and he often kept talking trash after scoring or blocking shots, which made Bird very upset-he could do this, but others couldn't.

"Crack!" Bird slammed the towel for wiping sweat, and the entire locker room was quite silent, and head coach K Jones didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.

K Jones, as a veteran player of the Celtics, an old Celtic, has inherited the team's low-key, humble, and tough style. He is always so calm and makes accurate judgments on the situation on the court.

However, the team's condition today is really mediocre. No matter how he counters moves, it doesn't matter if the players can't make shots and can't defend him.

And he is not good at encouraging players to come out of low morale. He is not Pat Riley.

At this time, a short, fat, white-haired old man walked in from the door of the dressing room, holding a cigar in his hand.

Of course, it wasn't the idlers who could enter the locker room casually during the intermission, but when McHale saw the old man, he yelled: "H, re."

Re, of course, is the godfather of the Celtics, the past head coach, the current general manager of the team, and the single-handed creator of the championship team, Reid Auerbach.

There will always be a place for Auerbach in the stands of the Boston Garden Plaza. Auerbach also comes to watch the game every time. He always likes to go to the players' locker room to chat with the players before and after the game.

This time he ran over at halftime, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the Celtics. The irritable Auerbach has always been known for his eloquence and "roaring" stadiums. Human players will inevitably have to accept a storm.

"Hey, Kevin, you're always so happy, but we don't look so good! Our offense is a mess, our defense is full of holes, this is Boston Garden, not some other "messy" new stadium Every floor here is full of rich history and stories. Here, we can die proudly, but we can’t lose so uselessly! They can step over the Celtics, especially here! At the home of the defending champions! Defending your home is like defending your hometown. Boston is our best home. No team can easily take a victory here. Go tear them apart, my green warriors!"

Holding a cigar in his hand, Auerbach delivered an inspiring halftime speech, which often appeared in his 20-year coaching career. Even if he became the general manager of the team, he still has a hot personality here When the team is not doing well, come to the locker room and kick their ass.

The Cardinal’s words undoubtedly gave the Celtics players a head-on blow. They did underestimate the enemy before the game. After all, the Blazers are the No. 76 in the Western Conference this season. The team was run over by the Blazers in the New Year.

The Celtics don't want to be a stepping stone for the Blazers to climb to the top. They want to prove that they are the real king of nb now.

"They-re-not-tht-goo (they're not that good.)" After listening to Auerbach's speech, Larry Bird said coldly.

When Bird was playing at Indiana State University, some old players often returned to school to play games, and Bird would lead his teammates to give these old seniors a hard lesson, and then leave a sentence: "They-re-not -tht-goo"

Now even though he is 13 points behind the Trail Blazers at halftime, Bird is still full of confidence. He has always been the kind of person who "I am the best and everyone else is stupid". If the opponent wants to prove that he is not stupid "Forced", then Bird will help the opponent become a "pussy".

The performance of the Blazers in the first half made Bird feel that he was an idiot, which he absolutely couldn't bear, and he absolutely had to go all out in the second half.

The 10 minutes of the intermission passed quickly, and the Boston fans all returned to their seats. Many people were drinking alcoholic beverages bought from outside, and the noisy sound filled the garden square again.

Gan Guoyang and his teammates left the cold and cramped locker room of the visiting team and stood on the parquet floor again.

"Boston Celtics vs. Portland Trail Blazers at home in the second half soon, a great matchup to continue, Celtics trailing by 59 points 72-13, but it's definitely not a disappointment In a desperate situation, they have 24 minutes to complete their own redemption." Mostert continued his passionate commentary.

"I think the restaurant seems to be much hotter." Gan Guoyang said when he took off his coat and stood on the court.

"The second half is always hotter than the first half."
