The Golden Age of Basketball

In many cases, Jordan has long been used to relying on personal strength to lead the team to victory, not only leading his teammates, but even leading his coach. His inner desire for victory urges him to move forward forever, but at the same time makes him People around are full of mistrust because other people are not good enough.

Grant is not good enough. After the team manager replaced Jordan’s best friend Oakley, he felt that this power forward who looked similar to Oakley was far worse than Oakley. He was not hard enough, strong enough, or not enough. buddy.Tonight, he was kicked out of the shit by Gan Guoyang, and he couldn't defend against one-on-one.

Pippen is not good enough, a tall and thin small forward with good physical fitness, but he doesn't seem to have any offensive talent. He is much worse than Jordan's brother James Worthy, and Jordan doesn't like this guy very lazy. The sky looks like a big horse, so Jordan likes to spur this little brother in the usual training, and stimulate Pippen with trash talk and singles. Only at this time, the No. 33 can go all out, and Jordan will also feel that It's more interesting.

It's just more interesting. For Jordan, fighting Gan Guoyang single-handedly is the most interesting thing for him.

The two also have a strong fighting spirit and a strong desire to win. Neither of them will admit defeat. Often, the two of them will start one-on-one in the training hall. This day basically confesses, and it won't be until dark. won't stop.

What Jordan admires most about Gan Guoyang is his ability to learn. In the one-on-one challenges between the two during the offseason, Gan Guoyang, as a center forward, must suffer a loss if he does not use inside skills, but his dribbling is very good. Excellent, all kinds of wonderful moves emerge in endlessly, many of which are simply learned and sold, copied directly from Jordan, he can always do quite perfectly as a big man.

Of course, the final result is that Gan Guoyang wins more, because at the last moment, Gan Guoyang will sacrifice the "invincible butt**", no matter how strong Jordan is, Gan Guoyang will start to attack with the center technique, and he will also catch blind. But at the same time, it also made Jordan realize the importance of back attack.

Tonight, Jordan has always been worried about one thing in his heart. Gan Guoyang has scored 52 points in the three quarters, but the points he scored in post-up singles are not that many, and most of them are shots facing the basket. The second attack after the offensive rebound, and the jump shot after the pick-and-roll cooperation, it is obvious that Gan Guoyang is saving energy.

If a center takes more than 30 shots, if each of them is behind his back, the two quarters will be boring, no matter how good his physical strength is.

Jordan understood that Gan Guoyang was accumulating energy, but Jordan himself could no longer conserve energy.

"Michael Jordan, broke through the middle, forced a layup! The ball went in. It also caused a foul by the Trail Blazers, a foul by Sabonis, the fifth foul, and Jordan faced the siege of three people. Fantastic dodge, throws the ball into the basket, and has a chance to hit a three-pointer." For this kind of ball, Dick Stockton is not even willing to use an overly passionate voice to explain it, because there are too many .

Jordan took the ball from the center and directly went in with a screen. Under the siege of many people, the ball went up. It can be clearly seen in the air that Jordan jumped earlier than others, but landed later than others, and the speed was obviously faster. A beat, and at the same time the man on his body is also throwing the ball in, he is too strong, too fast, too jumpy.

Jordan stood on the free throw line. More than half of the fourth quarter has gone on. Jordan has raised his score to 63 points, which is already his career scoring record. As long as he scores another goal, he can break his current highest scoring record .

"Jordan free throw, this free throw, the Bulls will close the gap with the Blazers to five points, and will set a new scoring record of his own, the Bulls need his scoring ... the free throw is missed, oh, Williams grabbed it Rebound! Jordan missed the free throw, what a pity."

Obviously, Jordan was tired. When he was standing on the free throw line, he unconsciously put his hands on his knees to take a rest. Indeed, this is not a game against a weak team, it is a game against a strong team defensive battle.

The biggest difference between the fourth quarter and the first three quarters is that Jordan not only wants to attack, but also to defend, to defend Jim Paxson. Paxson’s jump shot suddenly became fatal in the fourth quarter. It was very deadly. He hit Three three-pointers, these three three-pointers alone would have offset all of Jordan's points. If it wasn't for Craig Hogans, who came off the bench for the Bulls, to also hit two three-pointers, the difference between the two sides would be only [-] points. will get bigger and bigger.

As a shooting guard, Jordan must take the initiative to lock Paxson. He can't watch Paxson stab his team, so Jordan began to defend Paxson one-on-one, and let Paxson no more points.

And Jordan also paid the price for this, that is, he was too tired. When he saw the head coach of the Trail Blazers Adelman reach out and called a timeout, Jordan even felt a little grateful to Adelman. A timeout was called at 4 minutes to give him a breather.

At this time, the Blazers had already taken control of the situation on the court. Unlike the Bulls, the Blazers' overall strength was even better. When Gan Guoyang failed to score in the fourth quarter, Paxson made a sudden breakthrough and scored three consecutive points. Cauchy and Buck Williams played the role of a shock soldier, violently attacking the inside and helping the Blazers maintain the lead in the score.

Adelman also wanted to call a timeout to stabilize the situation and play well for the last 4 minutes.

"We have grasped the rhythm, we performed very well, our offense has improved, now we have to give them the last blow, we can't give the opponent any more chances, 4 minutes, 7 points advantage, we must maintain until In the end, the success rate of the attack is our lifeline, hit inside and cause damage to them!"

As he spoke, Adelman picked up the tactical board in his hand and began to arrange a tactical routine for the players. The content of the tactical strategy was very simple, that is, to play the ball for insider Gan Guoyang.

From the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang has been restraining himself, restraining his desire to score, and restraining himself and Jordan's thoughts of confronting each other.

Gan Guoyang knew that the recovery of Jim Paxson was definitely a good sign for the Blazers, and once the point of shooting guard was opened, the overall offense of the Blazers immediately came to life. The right defensive pressure will be reduced by one point, and the Blazers' transfer of the ball will suddenly become smoother.

The Blazers finally began to have players other than Gan Guoyang start scoring, but the Bulls on the opposite side still had to rely on Jordan to score points. This meant more rest time for Gan Guoyang, and he also needed rest very much.

In the first three quarters of the game, Gan Guoyang was trying to use easier methods to score points, not only because he paid a lot on the defensive end, but also because he wanted to save energy until the end.

Now, it's time to reveal the sharp minions and complete the chokehold.

"The game continues. The Bulls are still behind the Trail Blazers by six points. They still have a chance in 4 minutes. Obviously, the Blazers' offense recovered in the fourth quarter. Their smooth offensive cooperation came back after disappearing for three quarters, and the Bulls Here, Jordan is trying to hold on, how long can he hold on?"

"We should notice that for the Trail Blazers, Gan didn't take a shot in the fourth quarter. He was always playing for his teammates. He was a lone hero like Jordan in the first three quarters, but he became a team in the first half of the fourth quarter. Players. But what will happen in the last 4 minutes, it is still difficult for us to predict."

The performances of Gan Guoyang and Jordan tonight made Rick Barry have no flaws to criticize, all he can do is praise.

"The two sides returned to the court, the Blazers served from the sidelines, this offense is very critical, we see, Porter served from the sideline and passed the ball directly to Gan in the low post, Gan's position is very deep...Jordan steals the ball !Jordan cut off the pass, the pass was too far, the intention was too obvious...Jordan passed the ball to Pippen, Pippen's fast break!"

This time, Gan Guoyang slid from the bottom line on the right side to the left low position to ask for the ball. This is a very common low position tactic, but the intention is too obvious. Porter's distance from Gan Guoyang is also a bit far away. As a result, Jordan flew to steal it and Pippen got it. The ball went straight to the basket.

"The key layup...was blocked from behind by Gan! What a risk! The referee didn't call a foul! What a risk! Gan's eighth block in this game." Dick Stockton's voice suddenly rose Eight degrees, because Gan Guoyang hit Pippen's layup from behind with a big hat, and the ball flew into the hands of Cauchy who was following.

"Why doesn't Pippen dunk? Why doesn't he dunk? Why? A 6-foot-7 forward, a second-year guy, a player who can jump from the free throw line, no one in front of him, why doesn't he dunk?" Rick Barry Shaking his head in question.

The audience at the scene must also be wondering why Pippen didn't dunk, but chose a layup, but now he can't give an answer.

Jordan's flying steal did not turn into a score, and the point difference was still 7 points.

Afterwards, Porter's pass was no longer so careless, and he fed the ball to Gan Guoyang again, but Jordan did not dare to go up to defend easily, because Paxson was waiting in the bottom corner, so Gan Guoyang turned his back to open the corner Erjin made an easy left-handed small hook, and the point difference became 8 points.

With a flying hat and an easy hook, it is obvious that Gan Guoyang is relatively energetic at this time, and his energy is almost stored.

As the Blazers continued to feed Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang's great power in the low post was revealed. The Bulls' players were no longer able to double-team Gan Guoyang. Wasted away, a whole game of hard work and hard work, just fell in the last few minutes, even fell in that one layup was blocked.

The Blazers are also extremely thrilling. If Pippen hits the ball and the point difference becomes 4 points, the situation will be completely different. Gan Guoyang's fatal block will firmly hold the victory in his hands.

"The game is over! A great game, the Blazers beat the Bulls on the road, but this game belongs to two people, it belongs to Gan, it belongs to Jordan, this is the first time in NBA history that two players are in the same game All scored 60 points, the combined score of the two of them is more than all other players combined!"

Perhaps, the result of this game is not so important. Gan Guoyang and Jordan embraced in the center of the field after the game. The outcome has become a simple number and left in the record book of history. It has become an eternal memory of a generation.

And this is just the beginning.
