The Golden Age of Basketball

The game soon became a confrontation between Magic Johnson and Gan Guoyang. The two showed their own abilities and constantly destroyed the opponent's defense. Gan Guoyang used his scoring and Johnson used his passing.

However, in the fourth quarter, when the game was heating up, Gan Guoyang's incomparably abundant physical strength and unstoppable touch quickly made the Lakers overwhelmed. Johnson led the Lakers to support hard, but the Blazers made a countermeasure on the defensive end. The decisive arrangement is to let Gan Guoyang defend Worthy.

Worthy's offensive ability in the low post is really terrible. As a small forward, his turning speed is too fast, and his ability to finish at the basket is also quite strong. Whether Worthy is used to defend or let Drexler or Buck Williams Sri Lanka's defense, the effect is not good.

But Gan Guoyang is the best choice to defend Worthy. In terms of speed, Gan Guoyang is not much worse than Worthy at all. In terms of strength, Gan Guoyang has an absolute advantage. Moreover, Gan Guoyang's wingspan and defensive ability, Worthy can't beat Gan Guoyang one-on-one. grasp.

In the past, the reason why the two did not match up was not only to take care of Gan Guoyang's physical strength, but also because of the existence of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is old and out of shape. In this game, he has no threat on the offensive end and is restrained. He was dead, so in the crucial fourth quarter Gan Guoyang was able to free up his hands to strangle Cobra on the defensive end.

When Cobra Worthy was restricted by Gan Guoyang, the Lakers' problem in the fourth quarter appeared, that is, they lacked a reliable inside offensive point. Although Worthy is a small forward, he is the best fast break for the Lakers. The terminator is also the most reliable low-post scorer besides Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Now that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has lost his threat, when the fourth quarter needs to be scored, the Lakers are the only ones who can provide reliable inside scoring.

As a result, Worthy's scoring reliability plummeted. Under the one-on-one marking of the best defensive player, Worthy missed three consecutive goals, while Gan Guoyang, who defended him, was able to score consecutively on the offensive end. Suddenly opened to 5 points.

The gap of 5 points is the biggest lead the Trail Blazers have achieved since the start of the game. This does not seem to be a particularly big disadvantage for the powerful offensive Lakers. For them, it is like an insurmountable moat. As long as the Lakers score, Gan Guoyang will definitely be able to return one on the offensive end.

When Gan Guoyang kept scoring inside the Lakers with various offensive methods, the Lakers finally felt a sense of powerlessness. Riley looked back at his bench, and there was no inside player who could step up to contain this situation a little bit. crazy sun.

While Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was sitting on the bench, watching Gan Guoyang elegantly put the ball into the basket with one hook after another, his eyes were full of shadows of his past, when his hair was still thick and his limbs were still flexible and strong, he The score is also like chopping melons and vegetables.

Riley knew that the momentum of Gan Guoyang and the Blazers was unstoppable. Once Gan Guoyang's touch came, he was really the same as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back then. He could hook at will without any dead angle within 18 feet. ball.

When Riley replaced Magic Johnson in the last minute, it was announced that the Lakers chose to surrender. At this time, the point difference was only 1 points, which was not an insurmountable moat. Miracles could still happen, but Riley just announced that he would give up. , the magician complained to Riley when he was off the court. He played very well in this game, with a super triple-double of 9 points, 34 rebounds and 12 assists, but Gan Guoyang couldn't stand it and scored 22 points, 47 rebounds and 19 Blocks, 7 assists and 4 steals.

This is an out-and-out MVP night, a game that belongs to the most valuable player in the regular season, and a game that truly reflects the value of superstars.

When the game was combined with Su, the audience stood up and applauded Gan Guoyang, and David Stern also stood up and applauded among the audience. Anyway, Gan Guoyang did not disappoint Stern tonight, and the mvp trophy was handed over to him Deserved.

In an interview after the game, Gan Guoyang was also full of confidence in the team, thinking that the current Trail Blazers are the best Trail Blazers in his career so far.

After returning to the locker room, all the Blazers staff gave Gan Guoyang a simple celebration ceremony to celebrate his winning the regular season mvp award.

The victory in this game was considered by the media to be a victory of the Blazers' hard power, and it was a complete suppression of the Lakers. The other players have adjusted their condition to the best, and the Lakers with many problems are very dangerous.

And just as these commentators expected, after a day's rest, the two sides began to compete for the second game. This time, the Blazers did not let themselves fall into a passive situation and slowly chase points, but took the lead from the beginning.

The so-called strike first is the best. The Lakers are older than the Blazers. After overturning the Lakers and hitting them on the ground, it will not be so easy for the Lakers to turn around.

Moreover, after the Blazers owned Sabonis, their style of play was similar to that of the Rockets in 1986. The absolute advantage inside made the Lakers very uncomfortable. Gan Guoyang and Sabonis poked in, and the offense and defense were really two The big iron pillars, the key two iron pillars can be inside and outside, and the technique is exquisite. Pat Riley's tactics quickly collapsed in the face of absolute advantage in the interior.

The Lakers have lost the opportunity. Magic Johnson still has a good performance, but his teammates are weak, especially the weak inside. They can't resist the collision of the Blazers inside.

122:104, the Trail Blazers beat the Los Angeles Lakers by 18 points in the second game. In everyone's eyes, they have entered the finals with one foot.

And then head to Los Angeles, the Blazers are not afraid to play at the Great Western Forum at all. Although the Lakers at home are scary, the Great Western Forum has never been the home of the devil, and the enthusiasm of the audience is not terrible. The Great Western Forum maintained a complete victory, and there are also many Gan Guoyang fans in Los Angeles.

Therefore, the Blazers headed to Los Angeles slowly with self-confidence. In the first half and the first three quarters of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on May 26, the Blazers maintained their confidence as they did in Games [-] and [-]. With the suppression of the Lakers.

Just when the Lakers fans were expecting a miracle, Pat Riley made a strange substitution move. He replaced James Worthy late in the third quarter, and then replaced him with the end of the bench. Backup Tony Campbell - a small forward who used to play for the Detroit Pistons.

Everyone didn't understand Riley's intentions, but soon, Campbell began to play a role on the court.

At the end of the third quarter of the game, Campbell chased Drexler in the process of returning to defense. Of course, he couldn't catch up with Drexler, but he didn't take off to block the block at the same time after the glider took off. It was Drexler who gave Drexler a hard push in the back.

Drexler fell directly into the auditorium at the bottom line. This was so hard that Drexler lay on the floor without moving for a long time.

The Trail Blazers bench is on the side of the basket, and everyone can clearly see this action. Gan Guoyang was originally going down quickly, but when he saw Drexler being pushed out by such a dangerous action, he immediately ran to the bottom line See what happened to Drexler.

On the field, Cosey and Buck Williams directly swung their fists and headed towards Campbell without saying a word.

There was a sudden chaos on the court. The action on both sides of the game was intense. Campbell ignited the powder keg. The Blazers were excited, and everyone on the bench rushed over.

At this time, Gan Guoyang was still worrying about Drexler's situation on the bottom line. After the team doctor rushed over, he asked and checked. With the help of Gan Guoyang and the team doctor, Drexler slowly stood up, moved and said that he was fine. .

At this time, the field was already fighting, and the Lakers were not to be outdone. How could they allow the Trail Blazers players to play wild in their own home court, but Campbell, who was at the center of the battle, seemed to know that he was wrong and kept hiding.

Gan Guoyang was holding his fists and couldn't get in, and Behrman also rushed up and hugged Gan Guoyang tightly to prevent him from being impulsive, otherwise Gan Guoyang would have rushed over and beat Campbell to death.

Under the persuasion of the staff and the mediation of the referee, the conflict was finally resolved, but the Trail Blazers also suffered heavy losses. Cauchy and Buck Williams were sent off directly, and Drexler needed to be sent off because of the impact. Back to the locker room for further inspection, and the Lakers lost only Campbell at the end of the bench.

Although other people also participated in the conflict, the law does not blame the public. The NBA rules at that time were relatively loose, so they did not accept punishment.

Therefore, the Lakers with a well-organized lineup launched a crazy counterattack against the Blazers in the fourth quarter. The Blazers, who lost three main players at once, could not withstand the Lakers' offense. Both Cauchy and Williams were important defenses. As a player, the pressure on Gan Guoyang's shoulders instantly increased.

At this time, he is like Magic Johnson in the previous two times, unable to support himself!

As a result, in this dramatic emergency, the Blazers were eventually reversed by the Lakers, and what was even worse, in the official announcement of the nba the next day, Buck Williams and Cauchy would be suspended at the same time As a penalty, Drexler was diagnosed with a contusion of the tailbone during the examination and may miss the entire Western Conference Finals.

A conspiracy seems to be about to succeed.
