The Golden Age of Basketball

On February 1971, 2, the Portland Trail Blazers faced the Los Angeles Lakers at the Memorial Stadium at home. This was a game without any suspense. no suspense.

However, this ordinary game left a slogan for the Blazers, "rp-ty".

At the time, the Trail Blazers' No. [-] scorer, Jim Barnett, shot an astonishing long-range shot in the game, with such a long distance and such a high arc.

It was a bad shot choice, and it was a bad game for the Blazers, but Barnett hit this super long shot!

At the moment when the basketball hit the net, the team's commentator Sean Li felt that the team had the hope of defeating the mighty Lakers. He was very excited, and he shouted "rpty! Good job!"

Of course, the Blazers still lost the game, and Seanley couldn't tell after the game how he thought of this slogan and what it meant.

But for some reason, the phrase stuck and has become synonymous with Trail Blazers basketball ever since.

In S Seanley's subsequent game broadcasts, whenever the Trail Blazers played an exciting ball or hit a key shot, he would raise his arms and shout "rpty!".

Now, rpty (Tear City) has become the symbol and synonym of Portland's only important local professional sports league team, almost as famous as the previous city's nickname Therosety (City of Roses). [

In this game, Gan Guoyang's opening steal and dunk instantly detonated the Memorial Stadium, and the slogan "rp-ty" resounded throughout the stadium.

After Gan Guoyang dunked the ball, he ran to Aguile's side and said, "You-re-wele! (You're welcome!)"

Aguilar is not a player to mess with. His best friend in the league is Isiah Thomas. The two were rookies in the same year in 1981. Aguili was the No. [-] pick and Thomas was the No. [-] pick.

Like Thomas, Aguirre must retaliate against the opponent's provocation. He quickly made a low position on the left side. Davis dribbled the ball halfway and passed the ball into Aguili's hands.

It was not small forward Vandeweghe who defended Aguilar, but power forward Kenny Carr.

Like the contemporary powerful small forwards Dantley and Worthy, Aguili also has outstanding low-post singles skills. Even though his height is only about 6 feet 4, his strong physique can always win enough for him. shot space.

Sure enough, Aguilar received the pass steadily in the low post, twisted his butt, turned to the inside and shot a jumper!

"Shua!" The ball went into the basket hollow!

Although Kenny Carr has an absolute advantage in height and wingspan, Aguile won quickly, and Aguile has a very strong position and a calm shot. The ball can naturally hit, 2:2.

"Run-run-run!" As soon as Aguilar scored a goal, Ramsey began to urge the players to run, and Drexler, who was in possession of the ball, also ran all the way with the ball.

Since Drexler became the starter, he and Valentine have tended to take turns with the ball, much like the Celtics.

Drexler is fast and has a strong impact. When he controls the ball, he often plays a quick counterattack.

"Drexler, directly took the ball and rushed into the three-second zone for a layup! The ball missed...Gan made a dunk! The ball was scored! Foul, causing Bryant's foul!"

Another dunk by Gan Guoyang!This time with an offensive rebound!

Before the game, Ramsey required that he must play aggressively, increase breakthroughs, and at the same time not give up rushing for offensive rebounds. [

For Drexler, breakthroughs in positional battles are his weaknesses. He is not proficient in changing directions and low-speed dribbles, but his straight-line dribbles are extremely fast and almost unstoppable.

After he rushed to the Mavericks' three-second zone, three Mavericks players immediately surrounded him to prevent Drexler from scoring easily in the paint.

Drexler's layup was interfered by the opponent and failed to make it, but the Mavericks also missed Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang took off and grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and stuffed the ball into the basket!

Bryant slapped Gan Guoyang in vain and was called a foul.

"Two dunks in a row, Gan looks full of fighting spirit! Let's see his free throw...hit, 5:2, the Blazers lead by 3 points."

"Keep-move, keep-move (move, move!)" Gan Guoyang returned to the defensive end and shouted loudly. He only knew the Blazers' defensive line, and they used a tight man-to-man defense in the opening game.

The Mavericks are a team that relies heavily on outside offense. Their two major scoring points are Aguilar and Blackman. In the last game, Paxson was beaten by the Mavericks in the backcourt because he couldn't keep up with Blackman.

After the Mavericks passed a few times, they found that there were no chances. The Blazers' defense was extremely strict, and they added a lot of physical contact, which was completely different from the defense in the previous game.

Seeing that he couldn't open it, Aguili made a cross exchange with Perkins, and suddenly got stuck in a deep position in the low post on the right, and Davis stuffed the ball in again.

This time, Kenny Karl held Aguiler desperately like a sumo wrestler trying to disrupt Aguilar's balance. Aguilar turned around after receiving the ball, and his face was almost pressed against Karl's chest.

But after shaking and adjusting a few times, Aguilar still threw the ball.

The ball draws a high arc, and Gan Guoyang, who is behind Carl, who comes to defend, jumps up and wants to block the ball, but the basketball still passes through Gan Guoyang's fingertips and flies to the basket.

"Shua!" The ball went in again!Like Gan Guoyang, Akueli also scored two goals in a row!

"Me! (Damn it!)" Gan Guoyang took the ball and slapped it hard.

In the last game, both Aguili and Gan Guoyang were defended with special treatment. In this game, Ramsey decided not to double-team Aguili, so Aguili succeeded in two singles.

The Mavericks didn't seem to change their defensive strategy against Gan Guoyang. When Gan Guoyang came to the offense and asked for the ball in the low post, the Mavericks' perimeter defenders were eager to move. Once Gan Guoyang received the ball, they would definitely step forward to double-team.

But Gan Guoyang was still very determined to reach out for the ball, and Valentine also hung the ball to Gan Guoyang. As soon as Gan Guoyang got the ball, Davis, who was defending Valentine, immediately came to harass and double-team.

Gan Guoyang did not hesitate, and threw the ball back to Valentine with one hand. Valentine took a step in with the ball and came to the three-point line to make a shot. Davis came back to defend.

But Valentine didn't shoot, but passed the ball to Gan Guoyang, who was stuck deeper, and after the ball went in and out, it was stuffed inside again.

This time Gan Guoyang will not pass the ball again. Bryant, who is defending him, has been squeezed by Gan Guoyang and lost his defensive position. After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang turned around quickly and completely threw Bryant away!

Mavericks' defense at the basket!At the same time, I don't dare to make a layup to make up the defense, because going up to make up the defense at this time will only send points.

"Bang!" Another one-handed snap!The entire rim was bent, groaning in pain, Gan Guoyang's third dunk!

"Goo-move! (Beautiful footsteps!) Gan has scored 7 points in a row since the start, and he only scored 8 points in the last game. Gan's heart is burning with a blazing flame. He is venting his heart with a dunk. anger."

However, there was no anger in Gan Guoyang's heart. He was unusually calm, and at the same time, he was highly concentrated, and nothing other than the game could interfere with him.

So Gan Guoyang didn't notice that Wang Fuxi was sitting near the bench, cheering for Gan Guoyang's goal with the surrounding audience!

Gan Guoyang's consecutive dunks after the opening made the temperature of the Memorial Stadium quickly heated up. The loss of the previous game did not disappoint the fans too much. They still poured into the arena to cheer for the Blazers.

"The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene made me feel a lot of pressure. Sitting in this position, I can feel the huge sound from the rear. Since the first ball, this sound has never stopped... Aw! Gan, cover it Blackman's layup! He pinned the ball on the backboard!"

Aguiler was no longer able to attack in the low post this time, because Gan Guoyang began to expand his defense to the outside, blocking the Mavericks' inward passing line.

As a result, the Blazers' inside line became empty. Blackman, who showed off his prowess in the last game, seized the opportunity to attack inward and directly attack the basket.

But he ran into the hands of Gan Guoyang, who was in good shape. In yesterday's pre-match preparations, the whole team carefully studied the Mavericks' offense.

The Mavericks have two powerful outside singles players, Blackman and Aguilar, both of whom are proficient in jump shots, Aguilar is more powerful in the low post, and Blackman's breakthrough is more sharp.

How to limit the two to the greatest extent has become a key factor in whether the Blazers can suppress the Mavericks.

Gan Guoyang's peg board block doubtfully announced to the Mavericks players: "The Blazers' penalty area is not so easy to get in!"

However, Gan's performance didn't end there. After he got the rebound, he took a look. He had already seen Drexler galloping forward!

"Gan's long pass! Across the field, it came into the hands of Drexler. Drexler made a fast break, the glider took off, and dunked! The ball went in! Blockable! Blockable!"

Drexler's quick counterattack can make all opponents desperate. Once he lowers his head and starts rushing towards the opponent's half, the opponent should lose points. When the fans see it, they know that the "glider" will It's taking off!

"Well-one! (Beautiful job!)" Gan Guoyang stepped forward and clapped Drexler vigorously. The cooperation of the two young players made people see the hope of Portland in the future.

"Beep!" The head coach of the Mavericks immediately called a timeout. Although the point difference was only five points, the Blazers were too imposing and had to be timed out for adjustments.

"Gan, 7 points, a block, a rebound, and an assist! Now the game is only going on for 3 minutes, 3 minutes!"
