The Golden Age of Basketball

(Today, I am going to visit my mother-in-law’s home for New Year’s greetings. The new community where my mother-in-law lives doesn’t even have internet access! So I will post it on the first update of the guarantee, and try to find a place to go online to watch the last two updates at night.)

"The Celtics have to turn things around in this one quarter, we know that in games this season when the Blazers take the lead in the first half, they're [-] percent winning! advantage, extended the results in the third quarter, and finally knocked down the opponent hard. So, this will be a huge test for the Celtics and Bird, but I believe in their ability."

Johnny Most expressed his concerns about the game in the commentary booth, because the Blazers maintained a complete victory in the leading game in the first half of this season, which means that any team that was suppressed by the Blazers would later lose Did not turn over.

First, thanks to the overall tactical thinking of the Blazers, what Ramsey pursues is to defeat the opponent in the second and third quarters, establish an advantage in the second quarter, maintain the advantage in the third quarter, and finally drag the opponent to death. An easy and labor-saving way to win.

The second reason is that the Trail Blazers are an offense-oriented team. Any team that is overturned often cannot continue its firepower when it needs energy. It can be fast or slow, it is really difficult to lock the Blazers.

Therefore, if you want to beat the Blazers, it is best to suppress the Blazers' offense in the first half, maintain the advantage, and then continue to maintain high pressure in the second half.

Although the Blazers have not been overturned, they have not overturned others, because the Blazers lack a strong and oppressive defense, which is very fatal when chasing points. Score points while the clock is ticking and it's demoralizing.

So the Trail Blazers this season is such a team that is good at playing "tailwind balls", and the key is that the Blazers have the ability to play the game situation into a "tailwind".

But as soon as the second half of the game at Boston Garden began, Ramsey felt that the momentum seemed not right, and the wind was changing rapidly. [

The Celtics took the lead in the second half, Dennis Johnson quickly dribbled the ball across the half, and Bird caught the ball from the bottom line on the right at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Dennis Johnson immediately gave the ball to Bird, and Valentine, who was defending Johnson, immediately went to defend Bird with Vandeweghe.

During the half-time break, Ramsey urged him to defend Bird well, and he must not let Bird feel good.

But Ramsey's worries became a reality. Bird faced the two people who rushed up from outside the three-point line, made a slight adjustment, and shot directly!

"Bird, he made a jump shot from 23 feet away and made it! He made this three-pointer! 62:72! The gap was reduced to 10 points!"

Three-pointers, after Gan Guoyang entered the NB league, the number of shots he saw in each game basically did not exceed 5 times, and in some games there were no three-pointers at all.

The three-point line, which was only introduced in 1980, is seen by most players and coaches as a way to score for entertainment, or a shot selection in a situation of last resort.

In the eyes of many professional basketball players, it is as flashy as dunking, but it is just a form of commercial performance. It is simply a dream to use it to win.

But Gan Guoyang knows that the three-pointer will one day become the nb team's scoring weapon, and it will completely change the concept of basketball space tactics.

Therefore, as a center, Gan Guoyang never underestimated the three-pointer, but seized a lot of spare time for three-point practice. This often made Ramsey feel that he was not doing his job properly, but Gan Guoyang was very persistent about it.

At this time, the Celtics facing the Trail Blazers have the current league's first three-pointer - Larry Bird. 16%, but it is already the best in the league.

"Run, run, run! (Run! Run! Run!) Don't slow down!" Ramsey yelled from the sidelines, as if they were now behind.

Unlike the coach who slows down the tempo and hits the success rate when leading, Ramsey just likes to strike while the iron is hot, likes to chase the poor, and must find ways to expand the advantage when the lead has an advantage.

At Ramsey's urging, Valentine dribbled downfield like his ass was on fire.

The Celtics' defensive strategy in the second half was to strictly implement man-to-man. Danny Ainge, an old fritter, defended Valentine like a hyena following a wildebeest, and the others kept their eyes on their opponents. [

In this case, it is difficult for Valentine to score the ball. His best choice is to go straight to the basket all by himself!

There is nothing wrong with this choice. Valentine has the advantage over Angie physically, and Gan Guoyang at the basket attracts Parish away, so Valentine dribbles away from Angie and breaks through for a layup.

However, when hyenas hunt wildebeest, the most common method is not to bite the throat, but to bite the wildebeest's anus until the intestines are pulled out.

Angie, the hyena, attacked Valentine's back. He lightly pushed Valentine's back when he was laying up. Valentine rushed forward for a while, lost his balance and went up The basket is naturally unstable, the ball hits the backboard, hits the basket again and comes out.

The rebound was easily picked up by Parish who was keeping up.

"Foul! This is a foul! Didn't you see the referee?" Gan Guoyang was extremely angry. He was very close to the three-second zone and could clearly see Anji's movements.

But such a small move was on the verge of blowing or not blowing, and this was the Celtics' home court, and the transition between offense and defense was too fast, so the referee hesitated and didn't blow it.

"Come back to defense, come back to defense!" Ramsey didn't have time to argue with the referee, so he first yelled at Gan Guoyang to go back to defense quickly.

At this time, the Celtics have launched a full-line fast break. Larry Bird went straight to the frontcourt from the left, and Danny Ainge dribbled the ball quickly from the middle.

"Angie, pass the ball, Bird, catch the ball from outside the three-point line, shoot! The ball is scored again! Another three-pointer! Another three-pointer!" Mostert's voice was almost hoarse.

After Larry Bird stopped outside the left three-point line, he received a pass from Angie and made another three-pointer without any hesitation.

Bird's shot speed is not fast, but his shot point is very far back, and his shooting posture is like an ancient trebuchet. Although Vandeweghe tried his best to defend, he still couldn't interfere with Bird's shooting.

The ball went into the net, and Boston Garden entered the carnival in less than 1 minute. Two three-pointers made the score 65:72. Bird's two three-pointers have already completed the average three-pointers per game ahead of schedule. The number of shots, and his hit rate is [-]%.

"65 to 72, a seven-point gap! Bird, two three-pointers, the Celtics made an exciting start in the second half!"

On the other side, Ramsey did not call a timeout. He felt that the Blazers could still sustain it. As long as this offense can score, they can stabilize the situation.

At the beginning of the first half, the Blazers' two main points, Gan Guoyang and Valentine, received miraculous effects, but in the second half, the Celtics realized this and began to strengthen their defense against Valentine. Harsh double-teaming.

"Gump catches the ball in the low post, and Bird steps up to double-team! Gan, the ball can't get out!"

After Gan Guoyang took the ball in the low position on the right, Bird immediately stepped forward to double-team Gan Guoyang. Unlike the double-teaming that was slightly harassing in the first half, Gan Guoyang clearly felt that the opponent's double-teaming was like two soil machines, and he Sandwiched in the middle and crushed desperately inside.

Gan Guoyang desperately protected the ball, he had no way to make a move.

But at this time, a flash of light flashed in his mind. He used his peripheral vision to observe Valentine who cut in from the middle of the top of the arc. He struggled to avoid the harassment of Parish and Bird, and passed the ball behind his head with one hand. Throw the ball into the middle!

Valentine just cut into the middle, and squeezed away Angie's defense, received a pass from Gan Guoyang's magic pen, and went straight to the basket.

At this time, there was a crowd of people under the basket, almost forming a circle. In this case, Angie, the bad boy, played tricks on Valentine's back again!

He followed Valentine closely, and after Valentine took off, the whole person was under Valentine's body. Valentine was hit in the air, lost his balance again, and passed another layup.

"Beep!" This time the referee did not hesitate, and decisively called Danny Angie's foul.

Valentine fell in the air and fell heavily on the ground, but Angie still looked at the referee with a guilty face, meaning that he didn't do anything, just stood there for a while.

Gan Guoyang finally got angry. He saw the bad boy Danny Ainge mess up Valentine's layup twice, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore.

"You son of a bitch!" Gan Guoyang roared angrily, and then gave Angie a fist with one hand.

Gan Guoyang's strength is amazing, while Anji's body is much thinner. At the same time, due to his professional acting skills, Anji fell in response.

"Gan beat Angie! Angie lay on the ground! Players from both sides gathered around, what's wrong, it looks like a fight is inevitable! Both sides vented their anger in the game, where is the referee, the referee Where!"

The other players of the Trail Blazers were relatively calm. Sampson immediately stepped forward and held Gan Guoyang to prevent Gan Guoyang from acting more impulsively. Gan Guoyang has a very good temper in the game recently. The Celtics exploded.

The Celtics players seemed to be unreasonable, and gathered around to ask the referee for an explanation.

"Bsketbll-s-bsketbll. (Basketball belongs to basketball)" Byrd spoke from the sidelines. This aggressive white man seemed unusually calm at this time.

At the same time, with the intervention of the referee, both sides calmed down. Gan Guoyang received a technical foul and the Celtics executed a free throw.

Bird stepped to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily. His free throw percentage for the season is 80.00%.

At the same time, Valentine also stood on the free throw line to execute two free throws. As a result, Valentine missed the first free throw. It may be because he fell hard just now, and he was still confused. After the second free throw was adjusted, he still made it. .

At 66:73, the point difference between the two sides was still 7 points, and the Blazers' attack was in vain.

The Celtics continued to attack. At this time, the second half of the game only lasted less than 2 minutes. Bird had already scored 7 points, and his scoring speed was frightening.

But Bird's performance was just beginning. After the start of the second half, he didn't speak much, didn't shout at his teammates, and didn't spray dirty words at his opponents.

In fact, trash talk is a way for Bird to adjust his state. When he feels that the morale of the team is low or his state is average, he will use up trash talk to cheer himself and his teammates while suppressing opponents.

But now, he doesn't need them very much, because his hands are burning hot.

"Dennis has the ball, he's looking for Bird, and Bird's got the right touch, but the Blazers are very tight on him. Bird is on the baseline, Parish comes up to pick and roll, and Bird goes around the 45-degree three-point line on the right. !J pass, here is Bird's favorite shooting position for a three-pointer! He-got-t! (He made it!)" Most of all the passion in the first half did not add up to these 2 minutes More, because Bird made three consecutive three-pointers, and in the space of 2 minutes, he scored [-] points.

Because of Bird's wonderful performance, Boston Garden Plaza entered the climax of the game so far. Many spectators took out the engravings they brought, which showed an eagle with wings spread, symbolizing their hero Larry- Bird.

"Beep beep!" Ramsey must call a timeout. If this continues, within a few minutes, the advantage established by the Blazers in the first half will be eroded.

Gan Guoyang's main content in these 2 minutes was to run back and forth, relying on a technical foul to brush up his presence, and in other respects, what he did, because it was difficult for them to get the ball, the Celtics were trying their best to cut him off from his teammates. contact.

Bird still had the same expression on his face. When he passed by Gan Guoyang in the next game, he asked softly: "Where-re-you, gump? (Where are you, Gan?)"
