The Golden Age of Basketball

With Ke Xi's successful dunk, the gap between the two sides has become 7 points. At this time, the players of the Suns are obviously a little flustered, especially against Gan Guoyang. They don't know how to defend. Originally, Gan Guoyang scored three goals in a row, and everyone was ready. Double-team Gan Guoyang at any time, but then Gan Guoyang made three consecutive pass assists to help his teammates score.

In the case of one big and four small ones, the space on the court was completely opened up. Gan Guoyang was not good at that kind of delicate passing and catching, which was Sabonis' forte. On the one hand, Gan Guoyang can create scoring opportunities for his teammates by virtue of his strong defensive appeal.

The coach of the Suns was running around anxiously on the sidelines, constantly reminding the players on the field to be steady. In fact, they are still leading by 7 points, which is not a small advantage, but judging by the coach's expression, it seems that they are 7 points behind.

"Hornacek had the ball, they couldn't shoot [-]s anymore, he passed it to Tom Chambers, Chambers got the ball in the post, singled out Cozy ... but he got the ball off Cozy Hornacek still snatched the ball back and passed it back to Kevin Johnson, Johnson broke through! Pointed the ball, Marley broke through again, throwing a throw! The ball was missed! But Mark West grabbed the offensive rebound! "

The Suns' offense was at a standstill. Cauchy defended against Tom Chambers. Although he was at a disadvantage in height, he was also inferior in strength and speed. Chambers was quite hesitant about the ball just now and was almost intercepted. Fortunately, Hornacek had quick eyesight and quick hands. Got the ball back.

Johnson and Marley took turns to break through, but Gan Guoyang's deterrence in the three-second zone was too great. Marley missed a throw, but Mark West grabbed the offensive rebound.

This is the shortcoming of one big and four small lineups. When Gan Guoyang went out to defend, he lost a big man who could grab a rebound. attack time.

The hearts of the Suns fans at the scene were also relieved, because the ball is still in the hands of the Suns. As long as this goal is scored, the situation will stabilize.

"Concentrate, concentrate! Don't relax!" Gan Guoyang reminded his teammates loudly while concentrating on defense. He knew that a ball like this would have a great impact on the morale of the defensive players. He worked hard to defend, but he didn't grab a single rebound. All in vain.

But now, the Blazers must grit their teeth and hold on. Whether this goal is scored or not is completely two situations.

"Kevin Johnson had the ball, Hornacek was stared down, Johnson tried to pass the ball to Hornacek, but he stopped the ball! Porter stepped forward to grab the ball, the two hugged each other, the referee blew Scrum!"

Kevin Johnson's experience is still too shallow. He habitually wants to pass the ball to Hornacek to organize this ball, but since Jim Paxson came on the field, he has been very strict with Hornacek because Parker Sen himself is also a classic academic shooting guard and is very familiar with Hornacek's running position. Paxson's marking of Hornacek does not rely on his body at all, but on judgment and positioning.

Just as Johnson was about to pass the ball, he found that Hornacek was being marked dead, but he had already held the ball with both hands, forming a dead ball, and he could no longer dribble. The experienced Porter immediately stepped forward to grab the ball, and the two rushed The ball fell to the ground, and the referee naturally called a scrimmage.

"Great job, Porter!" Gan Guoyang stepped forward and patted Porter's head vigorously. Porter was pressed and beaten by Kevin Johnson throughout the game, because he had to focus on defense, and Porter performed well in offense. Flat, the fourth quarter finally began to recover.

It can be said that in the Portland Trailblazers, the only one who can control the game in the fourth quarter is Terry Porter except Gan Guoyang.

"Two-man scrimmage, crucial scrimmage, Porter is taller, but Johnson jumps better!"

As the referee threw the ball into the air, the two jumped at the same time. Although Kevin Johnson bounced better, Porter was tall and touched the ball earlier. He directed the ball in the direction of Gan Guoyang.

Mark West tried his best to squeeze Gan Guoyang away, and even made a pulling motion, but Gan Guoyang still reached out to catch the ball, and then directly gave the ball to Drexler with one hand.

"Drexler got the ball, lowered his head and sprinted! Marley tried to follow, but couldn't keep up, but Drexler passed the ball to Paxson, and Paxson passed the ball to Gan who followed, and Gan dunked with one hand The ball went in! A three-person fast break team cooperated, Gan completed a dunk, the point difference became 5 points, and the Suns called a timeout again!"

Marley and Hornacek couldn't stop the three's fast play. When Gan Guoyang caught the ball and dunked, their interference was a chance to score a three-pointer.

With a five-point difference and 2 minutes before the end of the game, the Suns had to use up another timeout. The purpose of their timeout now is to score a goal and score a goal to stabilize the situation.

But the Suns just can't score now. Although the Blazers are one big and four small, Chambers has no absolute advantage over Cauchy, and Mark West doesn't have the ability to attack independently. Hornacek, who played well With Kevin Johnson making mistakes one after another, Marley is not a player who can change the situation by himself, and must rely on tactical cooperation.

But the most terrible thing is that the mentality of the two sides is completely different; the change in the mentality of the Blazers came from Gan Guoyang's refusal to timeout. Originally, they were returned a three-pointer and their morale was hit, but Gan Guoyang quickly served. Before he had time to be depressed, he scored another one immediately, and the morale that was hit was immediately recovered.

The players of the Suns patronized to celebrate, but they chased their ass and got spanked. Their mentality was a bit impatient, and then the wrong choices of Johnson and Hornacek showed that their mentality was getting more and more impatient. When scoring continuously, the Suns completely messed up.

Therefore, in the last 8 minutes of the game, the timeouts were all called by the Suns, and the Suns were actually the leading side.

"Well done, well done!" When Gan Guoyang was off the court, all the substitute players came forward to give him high fives. So far in this game, Gan Guoyang's leadership has been fully demonstrated. His seemingly reckless fast serve, Actually changed the situation.

"Five minutes, a gap of five points, the Blazers have a good chance to come back, but the initiative is still in the hands of the sun, it depends on their offense, they really, really, really need to score a goal, they How long has it been since you scored?"

The Suns haven't scored for a long time. At this time, a huge weakness of the Suns was exposed, that is, the lack of veteran players on the field. Although Hornacek played like an old fox, he was only in the third grade after all. Not to mention Vin Johnson, a 3nd grader.

There is only one person with rich experience and strength, and that is Tom Chambers.

"The timeout ended, both sides returned to the field, a crucial attack, all the audience stood up, waiting for this attack."

"Beep!" The referee handed the ball to Marley, a whistle sounded, and the sun served.

Blazers did not press on Johnson and Hornacek, Adelman did not want to risk destroying their defensive formation, Kevin - Johnson received the ball smoothly.

But then, Johnson began to hesitate when he took the ball. Not only Johnson hesitated, but the entire Suns began to hesitate. They didn't know how to run, and they froze there for more than two seconds.

In the end, whoever got the ball did not dare to shoot, and gave the ball to Tom Chambers inside. As the most important signing of the Suns this season, Chambers played a very important role. In the game, he also swept away the decline of the previous two games and played quite well.

"Chambers got the ball in the waist, drove to the basket ... the ball went out of bounds, Chambers dribbled the ball out of bounds ... a fatal mistake."

When Chambers broke through the baseline, he was knocked off balance by Cauchy. As a result, the ball went straight out of bounds, and the Blazers had the ball.

The hearts of all Suns fans hung up, and the Blazers served out of bounds, ready to score the goal.

"Drexler had the ball, he and Gan put the pick and roll, passed the ball to Gan, and Gan caught the ball and made a jump shot!" The Blazers' offense was very fast. Drexler and Gan Guoyang played a pick and roll in the high post. Rexler passed back to Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang made a jump shot at the top of the arc after receiving the ball.

"Shua!" The ball hit the net hollow, extremely crisp, and the whole attack was so smooth that there was no muddy water at all.

After the goal, Gan Guoyang just clenched his fist lightly, and then ran back to the backcourt to defend.

Only 3 points left.
