The Golden Age of Basketball

Competitive sports has a tender side, but competitive sports is more about showing its cruel side. No matter how passionate the pre-match ceremony is and how warm the embrace is, when the players take off their sportswear and stand on the field, everything will change , the fans would go crazy, the players would get rough, the coaches would start yelling.

After losing three home games, the Lakers have lost their spirits when facing the Blazers. The magician is still a magician. No one in the entire Blazers can stop him, and neither is Gan Guoyang. His skills are so good He is proficient and superb, and he is unstoppable in the back line when he has entered his peak period.

However, the old frontcourt of the Lakers turned rotten in front of the vigorous insider of the Blazers. The experience and skills they could have relied on did not play out in this game. Gan Guoyang did not match up with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the game. Ah Delman continued to let Sabonis "level up" on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was younger, not much, as long as he was 5 years old, and returned to the state in 1985, Adelman would not dare to let Sabonis face Kareem Abdul-Jabbar easily. Let Sabonis understand what is the most difficult offensive technique on the planet; but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 42 years old, the second oldest player in nba history He played for a few minutes, he was 60 years old at the time), every technical action of his seemed to be in slow motion, the young Sabonis was always stuck in front of Kareem like a moving city gate, and he started from Gan Guoyang There, I learned a set of single-defense skills, such as card, top, and push. I didn't care at all that he was facing a 20-year veteran.

"Jabbar made a hook, blocked by Sabonis! Gan got the ball, passed it long to Cosey, Cosey passed it to Porter, and Porter made a layup. Oh, Kareem is still on the ground at this time Get up." On-site anchor Xiao Enli saw that Sabonis gave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a big cap on the defensive end, and because the ball had too much momentum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was knocked to the ground directly, and Gan Guoyang used this to launch a fast break.

After Porter hit the ball, Gan Guoyang stretched out his hand, trying to help Kareem up, but Kareem did not hold Gan Guoyang, but shook his hand at him, then got up from the ground with his hands on the floor, and started again. into the attack.

At this time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is still so proud. In fact, in every away ceremony, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar mostly has a serious expression. This taciturn giant will always keep his dedication to victory and love of basketball in his heart.

"Jabbar once again took the ball in the three-second zone, turned around and tricked Sabonis, and hit a left-handed hook. In the end, he raised his head high and ran back to the backcourt with big strides.

This is a goal in the third quarter of the game. The Lakers are already 12 points behind the Blazers at this time. They have been behind the Blazers by about [-] points since the second quarter, and then they are struggling to catch up. The Lakers have nothing to do Playing offensive waves to smooth or narrow the point difference, the Magic can always create good scoring conditions for teammates, but they can't prevent the Blazers' offense.

The Blazers' offensive end switches between the team offense and the "Drexler-Gan Guoyang duo". Whenever the Lakers gain momentum, Gan Guoyang and Drexler will use their personal abilities and double cooperation to suppress the team. There is a lot of momentum, which keeps the Lakers in a state of being suppressed.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Lakers launched a final counterattack. Magic finally started to attack by himself with the ball. Drexler, who was facing him, could not limit Magic's breakthrough at all. Magic hit two consecutive three-pointers, respectively. It caused fouls by Drexler and Gan Guoyang.

With the magician's extra penalty hit, the point difference between the two sides suddenly narrowed to 6 points.

The pressure on the Blazers increased, and Adelman called a timeout to adjust his offensive strategy. Just when everyone thought that Gan Guoyang was going to take over the game, Riley also defended Gan Guoyang heavily, but after Gan Guoyang returned to the field, he now After getting the ball in the low position on the left, a wide range of transfers the ball, the ball flew above the basket to the bottom line on the right, where Terry Porter was waiting in the running position, Porter received the ball and shot directly outside the three-point line , the ball entered the net hollowly, and a simple and crisp cooperation stabilized the situation.

Afterwards, the magician hit the inside line again, and no one in the Blazers could stop the magician from advancing the ball. His sense of rhythm control was so good that Gan Guoyang couldn't keep pace with his pace, and his center of gravity was swayed. Magician made a clever move A backhand pick was successful.

Starting from the 1987 season, Johnson began to take on more scoring responsibilities as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar aged. In 1987, he also increased his personal scoring to an average of 23 points per game, an increase of 5 points from the previous season. Started to use more points to take over the game.

His speed, strength, and explosive power are not top-notch among black players, but everything is excellent, and his dribbling feeling, fake moves, rhythm control, and hands-on skills are wonderful. His passing threat and size make it difficult for opponents to stop him when he wants to dominate the game in the final moment.

Tonight was no exception. The Magic had scored 10 points in a row in the fourth quarter, which made the hearts of all the fans in the Memorial Stadium hang.

The point difference came to 7 points, and there were more than three minutes left in the game. The Blazers had to score another goal. This time, Gan Guoyang was strictly double-teamed, and it was a three-person double-team. The Lakers also began to walk on the edge of illegal defense. .

Faced with multiple teams this time, the Blazers players showed a different reaction from the past. Whenever Gan Guoyang was double-teamed in January, the Blazers players would fall into a state of hesitation, tactics, response, and personal attack. They will all take a slow shot, and now they have successfully adjusted. Once Gan Guoyang is double-teamed, the other four will immediately enter a strong attack mode. Whoever Gan Guoyang throws the ball to will attack by himself instead of passing the ball. Don't cooperate, don't give the opposing defender a chance to rotate and adjust.

This time, Cauchy got the ball and went straight to the basket from the right side. AC Green came back to defend and wanted to call Cauchy an offensive foul, but he was a step too slow. free throw line.

In the first free throw, Cauchy made a steady hit, and the point difference came to eight points.

As soon as Cauchy made the second free throw, he knew it was going to be bad. The strength of the shot was too small.

"Rebound!" Cauchy yelled at the free throw line.

It was Drexler who came out suddenly and jumped before everyone else. As soon as everyone below looked up, they saw a figure flying in the air, just in time to catch the basketball bouncing from the basket, and throw The ball dunks into the basket!

The Memorial Stadium fell into a huge uproar. Drexler's ball announced the death penalty for the Lakers in this game, 10 points, 2 minutes, unless a miracle happened, and the Blazers did not allow a miracle to happen here.

The game finally ended in Porter's stalling time, 122:112, the Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth time this season with a 1980-point advantage, which the Lakers have never encountered since [-], the era of the Lakers' dominance in the West , Maybe it will really come to an end. Of course, everything will not be known until the playoffs three months later.

Gan Guoyang scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals and 5 assists in the super-comprehensive "5" series of data. Of course, there are actually 5 fouls.

After several games, the Blazers gradually solved several problems. The team's confidence has been improved under the leadership of Gan Guoyang; Let any team pay a price for double-teaming; the problem of three-point defense, Adelman remains the same, betting on touch, counterattack, few teams can really use three-point shooting to kill the Blazers .

Now, the Blazers are still facing the last problem, which is the problem of the sixth man leading the second team. Buck Williams has performed very well in all aspects after being the sixth man for many games, defense, and the leader of the second team. , the inside attack point, the only problem is that as a sixth man, his firepower is still not enough, and Drexler or Porter should still be on the field to cooperate, and there is no third attack point on the back line. Playing provides enough points.

Danny Young, as a backup point guard, has decent scheduling ability on the court and open shots, but his ability to attack independently is too poor; backup shooting guard Jim Paxson has been injured and has not played in many games, and his performance this season is not good. Very average, no longer the all-star demeanor of the past.

In addition, looking around, the Blazers' bench can't find any slightly more reliable backcourt players. This is in stark contrast to the Blazers' extremely strong frontcourt. In fact, the Blazers One of the reasons for the fear of three-pointers is that there are too few talents available in the backcourt. It is absolutely unbearable to rely on Drexler and Porter running around on the outside.

And soon, the Blazers encountered difficulties on this issue.
