The Golden Age of Basketball

"Mistake! Gan's mistake. Channing fell to the ground and grabbed the ball to control the ball. He passed the ball to J, and J transferred it to Bird on the left. Bird faced the two double-teams, turned around and took a step back. Jump shot... Goal! Goal! Go-ahead! Bird made a go-ahead shot! 81:80! The Celtics took the go-ahead in the 6th minute of the third quarter! Bird's 20-foot jumper! Bird !"

"What the hell is going on?" Gan Guoyang watched Bird shoot from the outside. As soon as the ball was shot, he knew that the ball was going to be scored. Bird's touch was too hot, and Gan Guoyang himself I was at a loss for the mistake just now.

Under the strong and oppressive defense of the Celtics, the Blazers had problems passing the ball outside. Gan Guoyang decisively went to the three-point line to serve as a support point for his teammates.

As a result, after receiving the ball near the left sideline, he wanted to adjust the dribble and pass it back to the defenders to reorganize the attack.

Who knew that he had just patted the ball, but the ball went down but didn't come up!The basketball seemed to be hitting a sponge instead of a wooden floor.

Gan Guoyang is still wondering. The Celtics' backup center, Chen Ning, who came out to defend Gan Guoyang, seemed to have figured out that Gan Guoyang would make a mistake. He threw himself on the ground, snatched the ball, and then passed the ball to Dennis. -Johnson, launched this fast break to overtake the score.

"Beep!" The referee whistled, and the Blazers called a timeout again.

"Don't dribble in that place in the future, and avoid it. I forgot to tell you before the game." Valentine walked up to Gan Guoyang, patted Gan Guoyang on the back and said to him.

"What the hell is going on there? Is the floor empty?" Gan Guoyang asked, shaking his head. [

"The ghost knows how many years these parquet floors have been used. Only their damn old redheads know what's going on inside. Anyway, they learn a lot of wisdom from a pitfall, and don't forget to run away from that place in the future."

Valentine's words surprised Gan Guoyang a lot. He didn't expect that in such a professional league, there would be such tricks on the floor of Boston Garden Plaza.

Of course, Gan Guoyang's top priority now is not to discover the little secrets of this arena, but to think about how to help the Blazers get out of the offensive difficulties since the third quarter.

After Bird scored three three-pointers, Ramsey called a timeout. The main purpose of his timeout was not to defend Bird, but to get back the lost points on offense.

In Ramsey's view, it doesn't matter if you lose points, the key is to get the points back from the offense.

And he knows that if he puts his energy on blocking Bird, then Bird will use a hundred ways to tell the Blazers, "You are wasting your energy doing this."

As long as the Blazers can still play the same offense as in the first half, even if Bird makes a few more three-pointers, Ramsey is not afraid-not to mention that he knows that Bird's three-point shooting percentage will eventually drop. Probably won't shoot the [-]-pointer again either.

After the timeout ended, the Blazers relied on the performance of Vandeweghe and Sampson to slightly stabilize the situation.

But in defense, the Blazers still can't stop Bird from scoring. He has still entered the realm of shooting how he wants to shoot and how he shoots.

At the same time, unlike Ramsey, K Jones deployed heavy troops to defend Gan Guoyang, and did not give Gan Guoyang a chance to catch the ball in the low position, and if he caught the ball in the high position, Gan Guoyang's threat was greatly reduced.

So, after a few minutes of support, the Celtics still turned the score over, and Ramsey had to call a timeout again.

"Keep attacking, keep attacking! Don't relax, continue to speed up the attack, slowing down will only speed up our death, everything we do is based on our offense, do you understand!" Ramsey continued to emphasize his fast attack.

This is the Portland Trail Blazers. The more aggressive they are, the more they love smooth and fast offense. This is Ramsey's style, and it is also the magic weapon for him to lead the Trail Blazers to the championship.

Because Ramsey understands that in the face of Boston's strong defense, stopping and playing slowly can only hit the opponent's trap and enter the opponent's game rhythm.

On the other side of the Celtics bench, K Jones was unhurriedly conveying his intentions to the players. [

"Our offense is handed over to Larry, Larry, you have to control the rhythm, you must give them a sense of oppression in the offense; and in the defense, we can't always maintain a high intensity, but there is one thing to remember, We must lock Gan, we must, we must not let this point come out.”

K Jones did not ask to lock Vandeweghe, nor did he ask to lock Sampson, but asked the players to keep a close eye on Gan Guoyang.

In fact, Jones has discovered that Gan Guoyang is the spring of the Blazers' offense. As long as Gan Guoyang can play and score goals, the Blazers' offense can be alive and bring fresh vitality.

And if Gan Guoyang is locked, the Celtics are not afraid to rely only on outside shots such as Vandeweghe and Paxson.

"Kevin, get ready to play. You should prove to everyone that you are not afraid of your senior; even if you can't score, don't let him score. Come on, Kevin." Jones decided to send McHale on the court again.

In the first half, McHale was completely suppressed by Sampson. Facing his seniors, McHale's legs and feet were useless, and his long arms were useless. He could neither defend nor make shots.

"The two sides played again, the Blazers replaced Drexler and Coulter, and the Celtics, our Kevin McHale played again, I hope he can have a better performance in the second half, Don’t be afraid baby.” The Celtics fell behind in the first half, and half of the reason came from McHale’s downturn. His inefficient performance on the court made the Celtics lack insiders on both ends of the offense and defense. enough support.

At the end of the timeout, the fans in Garden Square were already singing and dancing in the auditorium. Although it was still early before the end of the game, the Celtics tied the score, and Bird's consecutive scoring performance had completely excited them.

"It's time for us to cool them down, Clyde." Gan Guoyang served from the sideline, and he was very annoyed by his mediocrity in the second half and the noise of the fans.

Drexler started as a point guard after coming off the bench, and Coulter started running on the perimeter like a shooting guard.

As a rookie, Colter plays steadily, has comprehensive skills, and is active in defense, so he is very trusted by Ramsey.

"Coulter, with Gan's screen at the top of the arc, catches the ball from outside the three-point line and shoots! The ball is scored! A three-pointer! Oh my god, is Bird's three-pointer sense transmitted to the Trail Blazers? ?” Most was surprised by Colter’s three-pointer.

Not only Most, but the Blazers players are also happy.

"Nice job, Black Bean!" Gan Guoyang stepped forward and patted Colter. He nicknamed Colter "Black Bean" not only because of Colter's small stature, but also because of his small eyes. The ones are like two little black beans.

At 83:81, the Blazers turned the score over again and regained the advantage.

This three-pointer not only allowed the Blazers to take the lead, but more importantly, it relieved the pressure on the team and reopened the situation.

However, the Blazers' defense has not really improved, and the Boston Celtics' offense has begun to focus on combining inside and outside.

"Kevin McHale, the fadeaway jumper after the catch! Hit! Beautiful fadeaway shot, I believe he is regaining his confidence! 83:84, the Celtics began to regain their inside offensive feeling. "

It is impossible to limit McHale forever. He "Gibbon" who came off the bench in the second half began to wake up, and Gan Guoyang finally began to see what it means to lift weights lightly on the defensive end, and what it means to see stitches.

McHale's footsteps are not fancy. After turning around quickly, he swayed in a fake move, and then walked sideways to the other side of the defender for a one-handed layup.

He doesn't have astonishing jumps, nor does he have outstanding explosive power, but his slender and agile body is like a loach, rolling around inside, and no one can catch him.

Following Bird's consecutive scoring, McHale held up the banner of the Celtics' offense. Sampson could no longer guard him, and he scored 8 points in a row in the paint.

The shooting percentage of both sides is declining, which is the inevitable result of the continuous confrontation between the two sides, and their physical strength is declining.

However, the Celtics have found the feeling of attacking inside, and McHale can help the team increase points. On the Blazers side, Gan Guoyang can't get the ball, and Sampson is at a disadvantage in the duel with McHale.

At 91:86, with 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Celtics slowly widened the point difference to 5 points.

5 points does not seem to be a particularly big point difference, but it means that the Celtics regained 18 points in the third quarter, and judging from the situation on the court, the Celtics have completely controlled the rhythm. The Blazers haven't solved the problem yet, and the point difference will only get bigger and bigger.

But Ramsey did not call a timeout. He wanted the players to solve the problem by themselves, and more importantly, he didn't know how to solve the current dilemma on the court.

"Come on! Come on!" Ramsey could only shout on the sidelines.

"Damn it, I want to get the ball, I want to get the damn ball." Gan Guoyang was also in a hurry on the court, since the second half until now, he hadn't fucking touched the ball much.

Parish is like a deadpan sculpture, always standing beside him, while other players constantly come up to interfere with him.

"The Blazers attack, let's see how they will deal with the current situation. Gan continues to support the ball on the outside. He hasn't been in the low post for a long time. McHale and Parish completely blocked the three inside In the second zone, the Blazers are already very particular about not scoring inside. Gan, what does he want to do, oh my god, he broke through directly with the ball from the outside! Is he crazy? He pushed Parish, a horse riding Arrow shot...Goal! Oh my God, and parrish's foul, is this the first time the Blazers scored inside in the second half?" Mostert couldn't believe his glasses.

The same is true of other people on the scene. Gan Guoyang's offensive choice was very bad. A center attacked from outside the three-point line, facing the opponent's three-layer defense, after all, he failed to break through.

Then he used a strange posture to shoot an arrow on horseback, and finally threw the ball into it.

"This guy has started to get hot again, but the effect seems to be pretty good." Ramsey rarely yelled at Gan Guoyang from the sidelines, but shook his head in acquiescence.

Because Ramsey knows that in this kind of time when every day should not be called the ground is not working, it is to see the performance of the star's resurrection.

Although Gan Guoyang is a rookie, he already has the ability to resist pressure and throw the ball in at critical moments. All coaches will appreciate this ability.

"Hey, Bird, I'm here." Gan Guoyang responded to Bird after making a free throw.
