The Golden Age of Basketball

Although Gan Guoyang felt that Ramsey and Adelman were fooling himself, he did not relax his observation of any details on the court because of this.

From the beginning of the second quarter, both the Blazers and the Celtics used the second team to make a transition under the leadership of a main player.

The Boston-Celtics are one of the few predominantly white teams in the entire nb. In the entire team, half of the players are white.

Generally, three of the five players on the court at the last moment are white, which can be said to be unique in the case of blacks gradually occupying nb.

Of course, this is also related to the poor racial environment in Boston, which made most black players unwilling to play there. You must know that the option of "vetoing being traded to Boston" was sometimes added to the contract of black players at that time.

Therefore, a team dominated by whites will inevitably give people a "slow and soft" stereotype. At this time, the Celtics used a lineup that looked slow and soft to entangle the Blazers on the court.

However, under the leadership of Bird, the Celtics' offensive efficiency is surprisingly high. They use some simple small cooperation to open up the Blazers' defense line again and again, and continue to grab points with layups and jump shots.

In comparison, the Trail Blazers' second team played relatively averagely. Needless to say, they had no strength on defense. On offense, they obviously didn't find the feeling.

Faced with the Celtics' shrinking defensive strategy of not coming out from the inside, the Blazers' response is to shoot from the outside. [

Colter, Drexler, and Cauchy took turns firing at the mid-range, but none of their shots made a single shot, and the entire offense fell into a one-on-one, piecemeal attack.

In the beginning, Drexler was able to score a few goals relying on his personal ability. Later, when the Blazers shot more shots, their shooting percentage dropped.

At this time, the Celtics seized the opportunity again and launched a counterattack.

In the 3rd minute of the second quarter, Drexler missed a jumper at the top of the arc, and Larry Bird scored a backcourt rebound. After he dribbled and ran a few steps, he threw a long pass across the half court. The pass was accurately passed to Angie's hands. Angie used his experience to squeeze out to keep up with Colter and succeeded in a layup with his left hand.

After this goal was scored, the score had changed to 35:34. The Celtics were only one point behind the Blazers. In more than three minutes, the Blazers only scored 6 points, while the Celtics scored 12 points. points, twice that of the Blazers.

Ramsey-immediately called a timeout. He touched his forehead on the sidelines, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the players.

"Clyde still has a lot to learn. He still doesn't know how to play a role as a leader on the court. Of course, Gan is the same for you." Adelman said to Gan Guoyang after seeing the scene on the court.

"Clyde performed pretty well...but I think we should play more inside and be tougher instead of shooting outside." Gan Guoyang expressed his opinion. He also found that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Blazers The mid-range shot seems to be too much.

"We're stuck in those white guys', damn limp rhythms, don't match their shots, don't let go of the passing lanes, our paint should play a role, not just a screen. Gan ready to play, Remember to go up and score, we need points, or Paxson." Ramsey began to adjust the lineup, and he had already seen the problem.

At the beginning of the second quarter, because the team took the lead, the Celtics seemed to be playing slowly and slowly, so the Blazers also fell into this slow rhythm.

But the Blazers did not have a good starting point and ending point of the offense. They played too loosely, unlike the Celtics who surrounded Bird tightly.

Once the Blazers' offense was in trouble, Bird immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and began to speed up the offensive rhythm and counterattack, scoring several points in a row, and suddenly approached the score and regained the momentum.

Bird is like a transmission. He not only shifts the speed for the Celtics, but also affects the acceleration of the Blazers.

"What about my assists?" Gan Guoyang asked Ramsey before taking off his sports jacket.

"You have to learn to solve the problem yourself. I can only give direction, but the opponent will respond. It is up to you players to control the situation. Remember, we need energy in the offense, and this is our solution. The way, come on.” [

After hearing what Ramsey said, Gan Guoyang went on the court in a cloud. For the first time, Gan Guoyang felt that playing basketball was really strenuous, and he had to think about so many issues. It was better not to listen to the coach before.

He still misses the kind of game life where he doesn't care about anything on the court, as long as he scores and grabs rebounds.

Because Gan Guoyang is not clear yet, this kind of thinking and observation is just an important step for him to embark on the road to superstardom.

With a score of 35:34, what the Blazers need most now is to score. Gan Guoyang and Paxson have two stable scoring points, one inside and one outside.

Gan Guoyang is undoubtedly much more threatening inside than Norris, and Paxson is not like Drexler in the mid-range. If he dares to let him shoot, he can really kill the opponent.

But as Ramsey said, the Celtics will respond. Coach K-Jones' contingency method is to send Kevin McHale to the field to guard Gan Guoyang one-on-one.

Like Gan Guoyang, McHale is also 6 feet 10 tall and has exaggerated long arms, but he plays the power forward position, while Gan Guoyang is the center.

So Gan Guoyang has an advantage in weight and strength, while McHale is better in experience.

As in the previous game, Ramsey sent Mitchell Sampson to contain McHale, and the effect was still good. McHale made no achievements in the first quarter and was replaced by Coach Jones after a few minutes of playing. go down.

K-Jones has an idea to replace McHale. He just wants McHale to avoid Sampson and let him play against Gan Guoyang when Sampson is not there.

Now Gan Guoyang began to encounter some troubles on the offensive end. McHale began to use the defense around the front to prevent Gan Guoyang from receiving the ball. If Gan Guoyang wanted to receive the ball, he had to go to a high position.

As soon as he reached the high position, Gan Guoyang's offensive threat dropped greatly, and his coping ability can only be said to be okay, and it's okay to pass the ball to a cover. It's really difficult for him to sort out the Blazers' offense.

In defense, McHale showed his sharp fangs. His low-post offense was changeable. Neither Kenny Carr nor Gan Guoyang could cover him in one-on-one defense.

At the same time, Bird began to look like a loose fairy on the court. His passing was always straightforward, and often one of his passings could distract the Blazers' defense and make the Blazers players care about one thing and lose another.

Obviously, the situation on the field began to tilt towards the Celtics again. After Bird received a pass from McHale outside the three-point line, he opened his hand and made a shot. At 45:47, the Celtics took another two points!

At this time, the feeling is that the Blazers must call a timeout again. Their offense has improved a little, but there seems to be a problem with the defense again. It is time to replace Sampson.

Gan Guoyang ran to the bottom line with the ball. He saw the players on both sides start to walk lazily on the field, and suddenly his mind moved.

"Cort, don't call a timeout, give me the ball immediately after serving." Gan Guoyang whispered to Colt.

During the game, the timeout can be called by the coach or by the players. In this case, after receiving the ball, the point guard will usually call a short timeout instead of the coach to ease the situation.

Colter was about to catch the ball and call a timeout, but when he heard Gan Guoyang's words, he didn't know what this guy wanted to do again.

Colter has always listened to Gan Guoyang's words in the team. Even in the game, if Gan Guoyang asked Colter to pass the ball, Colter would probably pass the ball.

Sure enough, after taking the ball and slowly dribbling a few steps forward, Colter did not stop the ball and call a timeout, but passed the ball to Gan Guoyang who was rushing forward!

Gan Guoyang is like a running back in football. After the quarterback can't pass the ball, he directly takes the ball and rushes alone in the backcourt.

It can be said that he has exceeded everyone's expectations, including Ramsey, he stood up from the bench and prepared to arrange the team's defense.

The Celtics players were even more unprepared. When they saw Bird's three-pointer's team overtake, the Blazers must call a timeout, and everyone was ready to go off the court to take a breather.

Unexpectedly, Gan Guoyang, the center, rushed towards the frontcourt after dribbling the ball by himself.

When he reacted, Gan Guoyang had already passed Bird and Angie on the outside line. After all, these two guys are relatively slow.

Gan Guoyang's dribbling is not fancy. In the nb arena, his center of gravity cannot be played like he does on the street, but his dribbling is very stable, and he quickly killed the free throw line.

At this time, only Kevin McHale stood in front of him!

McHale watched Gan Guoyang rushing towards him like a tank, knowing that blocking shots would definitely fail, as long as he jumped, it might be two plus one.

So McHale put his legs together and stood under the basket, waiting for Gan Guoyang to rush over and make him an offensive foul.

When Gan Guoyang's body collided with McHale, McHale felt a little regretful. The collision was really hard, and McHale could feel himself flying backwards.

"Bang!" "Boom!" The sound of the basketball dunking was accompanied by the sound of McHale falling to the ground.

"Beep!" Immediately afterwards, the referee's whistle blew.

McHale was lying on the ground watching the referee's gesture, he was akimbo!

The referee's akimbo means that this is McHale's blocking foul!Gan Guoyang scored and hit a three-pointer!

The entire Memorial Gymnasium was boiling, and Gan Guoyang's backcourt dribble was one-stop!The fans started waving all kinds of slogans to celebrate this wonderful goal.

Standing on the sidelines, Ramsey watched Gan Guoyang and his teammates high-five one by one, naturally he could only shake his head.

"This kid always likes to solve problems in his own way."

But Adelman, who was sitting on the bench, felt: "Perhaps this is Gan's real talent."
