The Golden Age of Basketball

The Pistons tied the score in the middle of the second quarter. At this time, Chuck Daly on the bench looked calm. It seemed that everything had been in his expectation. Starting from the foul at the end of the first quarter, Chuck Daly -Daly was directing the players to try their best to reverse the situation on the court, and the game slowly entered the rhythm of the Pistons. At this time, the stormy offense displayed by the Blazers in the first quarter had long since disappeared without a trace.

In comparison, Adelman looked more anxious. Before the game, Adelman seriously concluded that the most important thing for the Blazers to face the Pistons is to seize the opportunity, whether it is a game or the entire series. Absolutely can’t get into the old-fashioned rhythm of the Pistons. Bellman and Adelman watched the video of the Lakers and the Pistons in 1988 more than ten times. In the finals, as long as the Pistons enter the leading rhythm at the beginning, it will be difficult for the Lakers to be as strong as the offensive. come.

Of course, there are many unstable factors in a strong fight. When the Pistons defeated the Lakers in 1988, the final decision was a penalty at the last moment of the life-and-death referee. In time and space, the referee did not blow the whistle in his mouth, allowing the Detroit native to ascend the throne one year in advance.

Adelman believes that the Pistons' deep bench, balanced lineup configuration, scattered offensive points, and strong or even dirty defense ensure that they can always maintain a rock-solid lead. Man absolutely does not want to see.

"Adelman called a timeout, and the two sides were tied. The warm current and the cold current merged, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while, but I still hope that this summer will be hotter." Seanley compared the Blazers to the warm current, wearing blue For many teams in the league, the steel pistons from the Motor City are so cold and ruthless.

"We need to stop and increase our success rate. We need tactics, we need to play inside, and we need some tricks. Also, give up the offensive rebounds and return to the defense as soon as possible. Buck, focus on defense, Delay their fast break, I don't want their fast break to be so easy. Also, keep your spirits up in defense, don't be disrupted by one or two offensive rebounds or fouls, stick to it, stick to it!"

From the first quarter, because of the smooth offense, the Blazers grabbed offensive rebounds fiercely. Everyone was in good condition and spirit. The continuous offensive rebounds also made everyone more daring to shoot, a virtuous circle.However, after this cycle was broken by the cunning Daly, and the Pistons strengthened the control of the backcourt rebounds, the Blazers' several rushes to grab the frontcourt rebounds not only failed to score, but also led to being chased and beaten by the ass if they failed to retreat in time. Therefore, Adelman asked to retreat immediately.

After finishing speaking, Adelman patted Gan Guoyang on the bench and nodded to him. Gan Guoyang also nodded. The two of them no longer need verbal communication. For Gan Guoyang Adelman [-]% trust, He knew that Gan Guoyang would know what he should do when he played.

Gan Guoyang sat off the court and watched half of the game. He also knew the situation on the court. The biggest characteristic of the Pistons' offensive end is stability. What a big change, the problem still lies with the Blazers themselves. Their offense has some troubles. They are too impatient, too simple and rough, and too pursuit of speed. It is better for Gan Guoyang to play at this time.

Chuck Daly also saw through the intentions of the Blazers, and immediately asked Bill Laimbeer to take off his jacket and play again. Not only that, he also replaced Rick Mahon, and Gan Guoyang will face the most evil inside team in NBA challenge.

"The timeout is over, Gan is back on the court, the Blazers need his scoring, Lambiel is back on the court, two guys are at the basket, and they're probably bickering again."

Looking at the entire league, Gan Guoyang's favorite bickering object is Lambiel. There are two reasons. Well, Gan Guoyang is really embarrassed to criticize others on the field, but he won’t do it to Gan Guoyang; the second is that although Lambiel likes to do all kinds of small tricks on people, his mouth is relatively clean, as long as he doesn’t fight Basically, when Gan Guoyang sprayed him, he rarely retorted, and often just smiled or said something casually.

The reason why Lambiel is like this is not that he is civilized and polite, but that he likes to irritate his opponents in such a calm way. He always puts on an innocent look after making some hurtful actions, It makes people very angry. If the opponent gets angry, emotionally fluctuates, or even fights violently because of this, he will fall into his trap.

In the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals, in order to retaliate against Lambiel's violation of Bird, Parish punched Lambiel down in anger during a rebound, and then the team doctor stepped forward. Lambiel's first sentence That is, "Has he been fined?" It fully proves that this guy has a purpose in seeking to beat him.

Gan Guoyang also suffered from him, so he used all kinds of trash talk to vent his dissatisfaction with him, but he never did anything, lest this guy get his way again.

"I'm going to start now. I'm going to score, score, and score on your head. I hope you don't mind." Gan Guoyang said to Lambiel while blocking this guy.

"My chrysanthemum is open for you at any time." Lambiel is also thick-skinned.

But Gan Guoyang was unmoved at all. As soon as he came up, he caught the ball and hit a hook on Lambir's head, helping the Blazers to ease the situation on the court.

In the subsequent games, Gan Guoyang played the role of the team's center forward again. His partner with Buck Williams was still rough and powerful. And Lambiel's biggest weakness is slowness. The physical fitness of Lambiel's white players is average. Rick Mahon's ecstasy big butt affects his movement speed. Gan Guoyang has always been known for his fast and concise attacking movements. Rick Mahon Before he had time to grind his big butt, Gan Guoyang hit him with a chic hook.

At the same time, Gan Guoyang's playing will also guarantee the Blazers' backcourt rebounds, and the Pistons will no longer be able to easily grab the frontcourt rebounds to launch a second offense. On the contrary, they must guard against the Blazers' fast breaks.

However, the Blazers did not play fast breaks, but relied on Gan Guoyang to play steadily. To a certain extent, Gan Guoyang's offensive inside is a tactic in itself, with high offensive efficiency and strong defensive attraction, creating opportunities and space for teammates.

Therefore, the Blazers began to open up the score bit by bit. Although there was no continuous combination punch like the storm in the first quarter, this kind of solid offense was the biggest headache for the Pistons. Daly sat on the court Slowly also began to get anxious, continuously dispatched troops, Thomas and Dumars re-entered the field, and the two stable offensive points on the outside also began to stop the bleeding for the Pistons.

However, the offensive efficiency of the outside line cannot be compared with the inside line anyway. Moreover, the more the Pistons invest in the inside line, the more chances Drexler, Cauchy, and Porter will have on the outside line. Gan Guoyang is not Michael Jordan alone. , As long as the Pistons lock the other players on the 23rd, they will not be able to make waves. You know, even without Gan Guoyang, the Trail Blazers in this lineup are still a Finals-level team in history, not to mention adding a historical-level super center.

Slowly, the Pistons finally began to feel powerless. The game in the second quarter was okay, and the Pistons were still able to hold on. In the third quarter, the fans at the Memorial Stadium finally ushered in the "King of the Third Quarter" break out.

"Gump catches the ball on the baseline, shakes off Laimbeer and goes straight for a dunk!"

"Gump and Porter's pick-and-roll, mid-range jumper hit."

"Kam was flanked by Mahon and Lambiel, and Gan passed between the two! A layup was made! It also caused Rodman's foul!"

"Gan turned inside with the ball, pushed Lambiel away, swayed a bit in a fake move, turned outside, and hooked with his right hand! The ball went in again, and the Pistons called a timeout!"

Chuck Daly's biggest mistake tonight is that he didn't hinder Gan Guoyang's rhythm from the beginning, just like dealing with Michael Jordan, he must destroy his offensive feeling from the first quarter, and this player's offensive feeling in the late game It's coming, it's too late to stop it.

Looking at the games the Trail Blazers have lost this season, apart from playing tricks like Riley's, the most important thing is to make Gan Guoyang lack offensive sense, so that Gan Guoyang's offensive effect on the Blazers will be greatly reduced. After all, he is not Coordinating experts.

It was too late to make up for it. Gan Guoyang, who went smoothly, scored 41 points and 19 rebounds. He did not give the Pistons any chance to come back. Amid the cheers of more than 2 spectators in the Memorial Stadium, the Blazers scored 104 : 91, the advantage of 13 points is relatively easy to defeat the Detroit Pistons. The smoke of the finals does not seem to be as pungent as imagined.
