The Golden Age of Basketball

Before the second game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks in 1985, the scoring record for nb rookie players in the playoffs was created by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the first round of the 1970 playoffs, the Bucks against the 76ers Saili scored 46 points in the crucial fifth game of life and death.

In the playoffs that year, rookie Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 10 points in 352 games, which was also an insurmountable peak among rookies.

Now, Gan Guoyang broke the record created by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with a 49-point performance. What is even more surprising is that Gan Guoyang only spent three quarters.

It is conceivable that if the scores of the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers were closer in this game, and Gan Guoyang got more playing time in the fourth quarter, then the rookie player's first [-] points in the playoffs would be born.

There are ifs in this world, because Gan Guoyang is an "if", but there are no ifs in this fifty points, and Gan Guoyang doesn't care much about this score.

After the game, Gan Guoyang was also very excited. He was happy, proud and proud of his performance, and he enjoyed the cheers from the audience.

In an old-fashioned gymnasium like the Memorial Gymnasium with poor noise reduction, the shock of shouting mvp in the audience cannot be experienced until the scene.

Gan Guoyang, bathed in praise and brilliance, quickly calmed down. This is what makes him different from other rookies. The fire-like passion for victory and the ice-like rationality and calmness exist in his soul.

He will neither be depressed in defeat, nor be dazzled by victory, not to mention, there is Ramsay, an experienced old man, who spurs him all the time. [

"Don't think that you can still have this kind of touch in the next game. Even if the Mavericks' inside line agrees, God will not agree. Be prepared to lose your touch and do your basic work, defense, rebounding, sealing Cover, cover, do these things well, we can win a victory in Dallas, understand?" On the flight to Dallas, Ramsey began to vaccinate Gan Guoyang early.

The experienced Ramsey knows that in the playoffs, the possibility of consecutive performances like Gan Guoyang's phenomenal performances is almost zero. Just a first-year rookie.

However, for Gan Guoyang's performance yesterday, Ramsey was also extremely shocked. He was so shocked that he began to doubt whether his consistent training method for Gan Guoyang was wrong?

Should he train Gan Guoyang to be a super killer on the offensive end like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, not a central commander like Wharton?

At the same time, when he saw that Gan Guoyang's touch was unstoppable, he also decisively demanded to hit Gan Guoyang hard, because the Mavericks' inside line is their weakest point. If they want to make up for this weak point, they will have to spend other energy. The Mavericks will take care of one thing and lose another, and eventually cannot escape a big defeat.

It can also be seen from this that Ramsey is not completely a coach who suffers from routines. Under the influence of Gan Guoyang, he is also trying to adjust himself to adapt to this genius.

"I know... If I score another 49 points, the reporters will blow up my phone. I get annoyed when I hear their voices, and they always ask some chatting questions." Gan Guoyang responded.

"If Gan gets another 49 points, I think even if someone nominates him as the president of the United States, some people will agree." Kenny Karl said on the sidelines, he always likes to make jokes about Gan Guoyang.

"Don't be kidding, I'm a Chinese. Our leader is the general secretary, not the president. And I'm the president? Because I scored nearly 50 points against Dallas? I don't want to be shot on the streets of Dallas. "Gan Guoyang said, you know, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

"Even if the president is assassinated, we will retreat in the entire province of Dallas!" Ramsey said loudly, and his words suddenly raised the spirit of the pioneers.

At the same time, it also reminds the Trail Blazers players that they can't be too careful in the away game and in Texas.

When the plane arrived in Dallas, it was already the night of the 21st, and the game would be played two days later, on the 23rd. The Blazers arrived early to adapt to the atmosphere of the away game in advance.

For a strong nb team, it is necessary to learn how to play in the away game, in the booing of the opposing fans, on the floor with incompatible colors and handling, in the cold and poor locker room, on the off-court ball Under the harassment of "fans", the players must maintain a high degree of concentration and vigorous energy in order to be able to perform at a normal level in such a harsh environment.

For those superstars, the away game will not weaken their fighting ability, but will make them show a better state, which is the most powerful blow to win boos and boos.

Therefore, in the two days before the game, Ramsey did not conduct too many tactical drills in training, because he knew that after comparing the two games, he had a clearer understanding of the Mavericks. [

With the Mavericks' lineup configuration, it is impossible to accomplish any tricks. Therefore, the greater test for the Blazers still comes from themselves, from their inner state.

If they can withstand the pressure of the field game in Game [-] and play at a normal level to take the Mavericks, then Ramsey has the confidence to close out the series in Dallas.

And if they collapse in an away game, the Blazers are still in an extremely dangerous situation, and it may not be possible to be sent home in Dallas.

Therefore, Ramsey started to mention the details of the players more in training, which is a good way to improve the players' attention.

At the same time, he reduced the training time and called the players together after training to let everyone discuss their views on the game and the Mavericks.

This kind of exchange relieved the pressure on the players, especially the young players. Even though they beat the Mavericks in the last game, they came to Dallas with a score of 1:1, which was still full of unknowns.

"What do you think of the Mavericks inside, Gan, after scoring 49 points, you should have a deep understanding of the opponent you beat." It was Gan Guoyang's turn to speak at the meeting, and Ramsey asked him to talk Views on the Mavericks inside.

The Mavericks' inside line, except for Sam Perkins, a potential stock, the others are all blue-collar engineers. In terms of strength, they are not as good as Kenny Carr.

Like their 7-foot center Bryant, the name sounds quite powerful, but he was like paper in front of Gan Guoyang last time.

And Perkins was completely restricted by the old fritter Kenny Carr, and the surprise of the first game no longer existed.

Gan Guoyang pretended to think about it for a while, and then said slowly: "I think, if I adjust my ability to be the same as Carl, we can still win this series...because their insiders are really shit!"

Gan Guoyang's answer immediately aroused laughter, among which Kenny Carr laughed the most. Of course, he couldn't figure out whether Gan Guoyang was praising him or hurting him.

The exchange meeting will be held in such a relaxed atmosphere. Of course, everyone will also talk about some serious tactical topics and discuss the situation of other series.

"You know, Jordan scored 33 points and 12 assists in yesterday's game, a wonderful performance, but still not as good as Gan, I think he must have been stimulated by Gan's 49 points. Moreover, the Bulls still I lost." Vandeweghe was sitting in front of Gan Guoyang, and he turned to Drexler and said.

"Oh, I know, the Bucks are terrible opponents, we haven't won them this season ... But if I take 20 shots, I think I can get 30 points." Drexler said, It can be heard from his words that Drexler is also a little unconvinced.

Drexler is also an arrogant player. He has always wanted to be the best shooting guard in the league. He is very confident in himself.

But in the contest with Jordan, he was always at a disadvantage. From n to nb, the only time he officially defeated Jordan was probably in the entertainment slam dunk contest, which was thanks to Gan Guoyang .

In the last game when Gan Guoyang scored 49 points, Drexler actually played very well, with 21 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds. He almost got a triple-double in the playoffs.

And in the game, the cooperation between him and Gan Guoyang began to show its sharpness. The Mavericks can be said to be able to do anything in the pick-and-roll against the two, but Gan Guoyang's light is so dazzling that he was ignored.

Now hearing Jordan's super performance, Drexler also began to itch. On this stage where young people shine, how can he not be moved?

Two days passed quickly. During the two days in Dallas, there were no local fans to harass the Blazers players. It seems that the rough Texas cowboys are not like the guys in Boston. They like to play tricks. Watching the team take down the Blazers on the field.

Therefore, on the evening of the 23rd, at the Dallas Reunion Arena, [-] fans in white T-shirts had packed the stands, waiting patiently for the start of the game.

Although the Mavericks lost in Portland in the last game, the initiative of the series is still in the hands of the Mavericks. They will have two home games next. If they can win all of them, the Blazers will pack up and go home. up.

"Let's-go-mv! Let's-go-mv! Let's-go-mv! (Mavericks move forward!)" The fans at the scene shouted their slogans loudly. The atmosphere at home in Dallas is no worse than Portland.

However, Gan Guoyang practiced hooks under the basket calmly, and his hooks made the Mavericks fans on the sidelines chill, because in the last game, nearly half of Gan Guoyang's points were done with this hook. Simple moves get it.

"Hey Clyde!" Gan Guoyang suddenly said to Drexler, "Do you know what the clothes of the home fans remind me of?"

"I do not know."

"I think they're here to die for the Mavericks."
