The Golden Age of Basketball

The game in the third quarter became a nightmare for the Trail Blazers. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Clippers used an 11:0 shock wave to quickly wipe out the 5-point gap between the two sides in the first half, and by the way they overtook it by 6 points.

Everything happened very fast, very suddenly, and the Blazers suddenly didn't know how to attack.

Gan Guoyang felt that he had returned to his rookie season all of a sudden, and he began to run back and forth on the court again, going back and forth without even touching a ball.

The Clippers strengthened the protection of backcourt rebounds, and the entire defense line shrank, and everyone grabbed rebounds. It was difficult for Gan Guoyang to find an opportunity to pick up frontcourt rebounds.

The Clippers' defense is also very simple, that is, one defense and one defense.

As a result, the Blazers' shooting percentage in the third quarter was so low that they didn't score a single goal.

The Clippers seized the opportunity to fight back continuously, but Ren Gan Guoyang had three heads and six arms, but he couldn't stop all the opponent's attacks.

Back and forth, the Clippers rewrote the score to 4:68 in the 63th minute of the third quarter. If it wasn't for Drexler's three-pointer with a touch of luck, the Clippers would not be able to score until 4 minutes before the second half. Officially suspended, the Blazers will score no points.

To make matters worse, when the Blazers were beaten by the Clippers, Ramsey didn't seem to call a timeout at all, and waited until the official timeout came. [

"lm-own...(calm down)" was the first sentence Ramsey said during the timeout. It was awkward to listen to. I don't know if he was speaking to himself or the players. Gan Guoyang didn't think he was calm. The team is just out of shape.

"Speed ​​up, chase points quickly, and fight back. We have to play our own rhythm instead of being led by the nose. This is bad..." After a few words, Ramsey stopped talking, just Two tactics were drawn on the tactical board, a tactic of switching the defense to give Gan Guoyang the ball, and a tactic of Paxson's inward cut.

The Blazers players returned to the field early, waiting for the end of the official timeout, while the Clippers, their head coach Don Chaney is still making arrangements for the players, it seems that the Clippers are not the Blazers behind Same.

"How the hell did this happen?" Gan Guoyang kept drumming in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Ramsey, what happened to the Blazers.

The first two games in Portland were fine. Although the opponents were underdogs, the team's tactics were very effective and they both won the games. Everything was so beautiful.

But since Gan Guoyang found out that Colter was taking drugs, he seemed to have torn open an embroidered pillow, revealing the rags and tattered jacket inside.

This made Gan Guoyang very angry. He wished he could run to Ramsay and yell at the old man, asking him what was going on in his bald head.

Gan Guoyang was not dazzled by this anger, but vented it on the court.

"Spread out! Don't squeeze to the left! Give me the ball." Gan Guoyang directed his teammates to stack on the right side to free up the left side, and then he ran to the corner to ask Valentine for the ball.

Valentine handed the ball to Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang faced the basket facing the defender—the 4-foot-[-] giant James Donaldson. He was [-] feet behind his opponent in height. There will also be trouble against Donaldson.

In the first half, Gan Guoyang and Valentine's cooperation was quite good, and the speedboat did not double-team. Gan Guoyang got several esy-bll opportunities and easily put the ball in.

In the second half, Donaldson began to stick around, and the Clippers also began to double-team.

"Mn (damn it)." Gan Guoyang lowered his center of gravity and held the ball at the horns. Looking at Donaldson covering him in front of him, he found that the inside line was quite blocked. Once he broke through from the front, he would definitely be flanked.

But without allowing him to hesitate, Gan Guoyang immediately made a choice. He made a tentative step, and suddenly moved the ball from the right to the left with a swing of his arm. He chose to break through with his left hand from the side!

Donaldson was a little caught off guard, and he was tall and had a high center of gravity, so he couldn't keep up with Gan Guoyang's pace at all, so he could only rush up from behind. [

Inside the Clippers, Maxwell, who was marking Sampson, immediately made up to the basket to block Gan Guoyang.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened. Once Gan Guoyang starts, no matter who is in front of him, he will not be able to stop!

Facing Maxwell's wall of meat, Gan Guoyang suddenly accelerated and took off. Maxwell was motionless under the basket, waiting for Gan Guoyang to come up.

"Boom!" Maxwell was completely knocked into the air by Gan Guoyang and slid out of the baseline, and Gan Guoyang also put the ball into the basket in the air.

"Does it count?" Gan Guoyang's first reaction after scoring the goal was to look at the referee, to see whether the referee's gesture was a goal or not.

Fortunately, the referee signaled that the goal was valid and at the same time ruled that Maxwell blocked the foul.

"Oh yeah, nice goal...Hey Max, how does it feel to come to Los Angeles?" Gan Guoyang did not forget to tease Boston's old player Maxwell during the free throw, and then made the free throw. turned into two points.

Gan Guoyang should be said to have played this shot very smartly. First of all, he did not choose to hit Donaldson in the low post. After all, Donaldson's height is placed there, and it is obviously better to use the advantage of foot speed to break through with the face basket.

At the same time, he found that Maxwell was very close to the basket. If the ball was shot from the front, Maxwell would make an offensive foul in all likelihood, but if it came from the side, Maxwell would have to move a longer distance to make a foul. , naturally it is easy to be blocked by blowing.

Gan Guoyang's goal greatly improved the morale of the Blazers. At the same time, Ramsey also replaced Paxson as a substitute. Paxson's state is still very good tonight. Some vitality also mobilized the Clippers' defense.

The Blazers finally began to slowly recover, and the internal and external offenses played vigorously again. The two sides entered a state of chasing each other, and the Blazers still maintained a certain advantage.

Seeing that his teammates' performance was not satisfactory, Gan Guoyang once again strengthened his offense and began to continuously attack the Clippers' inside line. He scored another 13 points in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Blazers always maintained an advantage of about four points, leading the Clippers by the nose.

The game continued until there was one minute and five seconds left in the fourth quarter. The Blazers still led the Clippers by 113 points 110:3. A mid-range shot by Marquez Johnson from the Clippers stopped the Blazers.

"Gan, expand the defense, strengthen the pressure on the outside line, and don't give them a chance. But remember, don't miss people, don't miss the inside line, if it doesn't work, foul and send the opponent to the free throw line." Ramsey made a calm According to the arrangement, he asked the team to play oppressive defense.

Then Ramsey asked to focus on marking Derek Smith. He caused huge trouble for the Blazers tonight. He has scored 26 points so far.

After the timeout ends, the game continues.

Gan Guoyang was standing near the free throw line, with a 10-foot radius under his jurisdiction. It was completely impossible for the Clippers to lob the ball directly to the inside.

Following the referee's whistle, the Clippers served the ball, and the Clippers' outside players circled twice outside the three-point line, attracting the defense of the two, and it turned out that Ben O'Nette-Benjamin stepped forward to catch the ball.

But Gan Guoyang made a mistake. Benjamin has no offensive ability outside the three-point line. Although he cannot pinch other players at this time, it is illegal defense. He should also focus on the person who is most likely to catch the ball .

But Gan Guoyang’s attention was on Benjamin. After receiving the ball, Benjamin paused for a while, turned around, and passed the ball to Marquis Johnson who was serving—at this time, he had already reached the top of the arc. Location.

Benjamin took advantage of the situation and made a pick-and-roll cover for Johnson, and Johnson directly accelerated the breakthrough with the ball!

At this time, Gan Guoyang must step forward to defend. He followed Johnson and stared at him until he entered the inside line.

In order to avoid the block shot by Gan Guoyang's big hand, Johnson had to make a layup with a very difficult action, so that he was not blocked by Gan Guoyang's hot pot.

The ball was still shot, a high-throw hit the board, the strength of the ball was not well grasped, it touched the basket, and it was about to fall out.

At this time, Benjamin, who was rolling down after the cover, was emptied out!

Benjamin took off and tapped the ball lightly.

"Shua!" The ball stumbled and fell into the basket, and Benjamin made a tip-up!The rookie who came off the bench made a key tip-up!

"Yeah! Yeh!" Benjamin looked like a lore after making a successful tip-up. In fact, the Clippers were still one point behind.

"Idiot!" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but said looking at Benjamin's appearance.

Then Gan Guoyang turned to Vandeweghe again. Just now Vandeweghe was supposed to switch the ball, but Benjamin was completely empty: "What are you doing kk! I'm going to defend Johnson, so you have to block Benjamin! How can you let that happen?" How did he put it back so easily?"

Gan Guoyang originally wanted to remind Vandeweghe, but Vandeweghe ignored him at all and walked back to the bench silently.

The relationship between the two has always been good, and they practiced shooting together yesterday, Gan Guoyang wondered if there was something wrong with his tone.

Fortunately, in the subsequent key attack, Gan Guoyang hit a big hook at 45 degrees on the right!

The point difference between the two sides was opened to 3 points again, and the situation was stabilized.

With the last attack, the Clippers chose to take a risky three-pointer and missed. The Blazers narrowly beat the Clippers by 115:112 three-pointers in the away game, and achieved three consecutive victories in the opening season.

Gan Guoyang was elected the best player of the game. He scored 41 points and 13 rebounds, and hit a very crucial hook.

It's just that Gan Guoyang, who won this game, didn't go so well. He knew that there must be some problems inside the Blazers.
