The Golden Age of Basketball

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Bill Seanley, and I'm pleased to show you the Portland Trail Blazers at home against the Dallas Mavericks at the Memorial Coliseum, for those of you who can't make it to the venue, or watch it live on TV. , I hope my voice can restore a wonderful game for you.”

On April 4, at 20:[-] p.m. Pacific time in the United States, there are still ten minutes before the start of the second playoff game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks. Or fans who don't have live TV to watch must have turned on the radio at home and started listening to Bill Seanley's live commentary.

Just as Zeke Hearn represents the Lakers, Johnny Most represents the Celtics, and Bob Blackburn represents the Seattle SuperSonics, Bill Seanley is the most popular among Portland fans. familiar voice.

Although with the rapid development of NB TV broadcasting and the large-scale popularization of TV, the relatively old and backward broadcasting mode of radio broadcasting is being swallowed up by the times, but for those players who cherish the history of the team and share good memories with the team『 For fans, how can they lose these familiar voices in their basketball life?

Unlike Most who likes to sit in the high stands, Bill Seanley likes to sit near the Blazers' bench. When he is explaining the game, he can often look up and see that Ramsey's hair is no longer Many heads.

"This is a critical game. The Blazers lost home court in Game 0. Now we are on the edge of a cliff. In a best-of-five series, the outcome of this game will be extremely critical. I don't think anyone is willing to go to Dallas with a score of 2:[-]." Sean Li introduced the severe situation facing the Blazers before the game. It can be said that the loss of the first home game made the Blazers very passive, so They had to win the second game.

This must be a lot of pressure for the Blazers, who are mainly young players, but the Blazers have always had a tradition of forming a "Youth Guard" in history, and young players can always appear calm and sophisticated in the Blazers.

Players from both sides were warming up on the field. Young players such as Gan Guoyang, Drexler, Cauchy, and Colter all looked calm, but it is not known whether they were nervous or not.

Anyway, in the last playoff debut of the rookies, whether it was Kexi, Colter or Gan Guoyang, they played very averagely and did not reach their regular season level. Obviously, they are not very suitable for the playoffs . [

On the contrary, the Mavericks rookie Sam Perkins, the brother of Jordan's same school, shined in his first playoff game. He made 16 of 9 shots and scored 26 points and 13 rebounds. Double data.

Especially his restrictions on Mitchell Sampson and timely double-teaming of Gan Guoyang caused great damage to the Blazers inside.

After the first game, the Dallas media declared, "From the perspective of the playoffs, Sam Perkins is the best rookie."

Because in the first game of the playoffs, Jordan, Gan, and Olajuwon, the three most powerful contenders for the best rookie, all lost the game, and the performances of Gan Guoyang and Olajuwon on the field were also very poor. Very average.

In comparison, Sam Perkins' performance in the first game was amazing enough, and his contributions on both ends of the offense and defense are obvious to all.

Gan Guoyang naturally dismissed such arguments. In the regular season match against the Mavericks, Sam Perkins gave Gan Guoyang the feeling that "as long as I exert my strength, I can kill him in minutes."

However, the Mavericks will obviously not give Gan Guoyang a chance to kill Perkins alone. He has been double-teamed and defended by the Mavericks most closely. As long as Gan Guoyang is restrained, the strength of the Blazers will be greatly reduced.

Although Gan Guoyang is not the real core of the Blazers tactically, but strategically, the Blazers with Gan Guoyang and without Gan Guoyang are completely two teams.

"Okay, the following is the player's appearance ceremony!"

After the warm-up ended, the starting players of both sides began to appear one by one in the voice of j on the scene. The Mavericks were no different from the starters of the previous game. Forward Mark Aguilar, shooting guard Rolando Blackman, and point guard Brad Davis.

And when J introduced the Blazers' starting players, the audience found that the Blazers' starting lineup had changed.

In the last game, the Blazers continued to use the starting lineup of the regular season. Jim Paxson returned to replace Drexler, who played well in March and April (ps: Drexler Get a best of the week in March), back to starting shooting guard.

But Paxson's stop and go in March and April affected his state. In the last game against the Mavericks, he was beaten by the opposing Blackman. Blackman scored a game-high 43 points. !

Therefore, in this game, Ramsey decided to send Drexler back to the starting lineup. He needed Drexler to bring enough impact-they had too many shots in the last game.

Another adjustment is to let Kenny Carr replace Mitchell Sampson as the starting power forward and partner with Gan Guoyang. [

At the end of the season, Ramsey did try such an inside starting configuration. Generally speaking, the effect is not bad. The functional allocation between Gan Guoyang and Karl should be said to be quite clear.

In the second game, the reason why Ramsey resorted to such an inside match again was that he had two considerations. One was that since Drexler became the starter, a player who could lead the second team was needed on the bench.Jim Paxson was unstable and not a good choice, so Ramsey decided to let Sampson play the sixth man.

The second consideration is that Ramsey tried to release Gan Guoyang's offense in the second game. Since the Mavericks used double-teaming to contain Gan Guoyang in the last game, if he gave up Gan Guoyang's offense, it would be playing into the Mavericks' hands.

So Ramsey told Gan Guoyang that this game must be resolutely offensive from the very beginning!

"The Blazers' starters are Gan, Carl, Vandeweghe, Drexler and Valentine. The two positions have changed. I think Coach Ramsey must have his considerations. Let us wait and see." Sean Leigh still trusts Ramsey's team formation. Since Ramsey came here in 1976, Sean Leigh has not missed a single home game of the Blazers.

"Okay, the game is about to start. The starting players of both sides stood on the field and shook hands, but there will be a big battle!"

During the jump ball in the middle circle, Gan Guoyang stared at the basketball in the referee's hands like a wolf, and what Ramsay said repeatedly appeared in his mind, "No ball must be fought!"

"Gump dialed the ball first...but Aguirre squeezed past Vandeweghe and got the ball. The game started and the Mavericks took the lead!"

In terms of reaction speed and jumping ability, Gan Guoyang is naturally better than the opponent's center Bryant, but the ball he dialed to Vandeweghe was snatched by Mavericks player Aguirre.

Although Aguili plays the small forward position, his registered height is only 6 feet 5, which is 196, which is obviously the height of a shooting guard.

When Gan Guoyang saw Aguiler for the first time in a game against the Mavericks, he thought he was a point guard, because he was only in his early 190s, 6-3 to 6-4.

And Aguili looks rough, not tall, and his hands and feet are not long. He is short in NB, but he can play a small forward, and he can score 25 points per game. Last year, he averaged 29 and nearly 30 points per game!

This is not only due to his outstanding skills, but also because although he is not tall, with short arms and short legs, he is really strong, especially with thick thighs and a strong butt. Gan Guoyang thinks that this guy Aguili should be Weightlifting, not basketball.

Therefore, although Vandeweghe was nearly 3 inches taller than Aguilar, Aguilar squeezed Vandeweghe away with a push of his butt and snatched the basketball from Gan Guoyang.

"Thnk-you!" Akueli grabbed the ball and did not forget to say "thank you" to Gan Guoyang, which made Gan Guoyang angry.

The Mavericks got the player, and Aguilar slowly dribbled the ball through the half court. From the first quarter of the playoffs, when it was a battle of wits, Aguilar was also ready to pass the ball to the point guard and then run tactics.

But Gan Guoyang did not go directly to the inside three-second zone to defend at this time, but stayed at a high position, as if he was waiting for something.

"What is this guy doing... not going inside to defend!" Ramsey watched Gan Guoyang slowly not going down to the penalty area, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He didn't know what this guy was thinking again.

"Aguilar, pass the ball to David... HOHO! Cut the ball! Gan broke the ball! No one in the frontcourt! He took the ball and rushed to the basket!"

Aguili was obviously a little careless with this ball. He didn't know why Gan Guoyang stayed on the line, and he didn't think about it. Davis in the middle.

And Gan Guoyang and other places are at this moment, he is afraid that Aguili will not pass the ball, he flies towards the basketball like a flying eagle, and intercepts the ball halfway!

"gump, slm-unk! rp-ty! (Gump, dunk! Rip the city apart!)"

Seanley used his classic commentary at the beginning, which is also a symbol of the Portland Trail Blazers, "rp-ty".

Gan Guoyang tore the city apart with a dunk, and at the same time he was about to start tearing up the Mavericks.
