"Honacek's flying save! Kevin Johnson got the ball and transferred it to Tom Chambers in a wide area, and Chambers forced a breakthrough! Missed layup...... Corbyn's buckle! Corbyn made up the dunk! The Suns hit a wave of 11:3! The Suns extended their advantage to 13 points with an 11-3 run, which I can say was the biggest advantage the Suns have gained since the series began. ”

In the second quarter of the game, the Suns' offense played well, and the potential of every player was tapped.

13 points is the biggest advantage since the start of the Suns series, because in the first two games, the Suns have not taken the lead at all, and they can't open the offense from start to finish, and they are pressed to the ground and beaten to death by the Trail Blazers.

And in this game, with the advantage of the home court and the full preparation before the game, the Suns caught the Trail Blazers off guard, and more importantly, their offense found a feeling, and for a team that relies on offense, the feeling and rhythm in the offense are too important.

In the first two games, their offensive rhythm was disrupted by the Trail Blazers, and it was purely based on the individual ability of the players to score, and it was not promising to fight with the Trail Blazers.

As for the Trailblazers, there was a problem with the offense first, Adelman continued to insist on starting from Gan Guoyang, which was the most effective stepping stone in the first five games, but Gan Guoyang's offensive state was really bad tonight, and the Sun did not wrap him up, but bet on Gan Guoyang's hand, at least in the first half they won the bet.

As of the time of the game, Gan Guoyang shot 1 of 6 shots and 2 of 4 free throws, and only scored a pitiful 4 points.

At the same time, in defense, the Trail Blazers have not had a good way to deal with the Suns' new routine so far, Adelman's reaction is a little slow, and the Suns insist on playing Kevin Johnson and Tom Chambers from the right side to fix Gan Guoyang on the right side, while the left side is handed over to Hornacek to organize and sort out.

If Gan Guoyang chooses to go back to the middle to defend, then Tom Chambers and Kevin Johnson's blocking power is still quite huge, and the head coach of the Suns intends to let Chambers play more at the beginning of the game, so that Gan Guoyang can't let him go easily.

Of course, Chambers' success rate in one-on-one singles against Gan Guoyang is still very low, but with the cooperation of his teammates, he can always get the opportunity to misplace, and the continuous misplaced attack gives Chambers a tall forward who can get a good opportunity to swing inside and out.

As Corbyn scored a dunk, Adelman called a timeout, at which point the fans began to wave their white towels again, which of course did not mean surrender, but came from the bullfight, and when the matador performed very well, the spectators would wave the white handkerchief in their hands to show the matador's approval.

And Gan Guoyang returned to the bench and picked up the white towel in his hand, he didn't use it to wield, he wiped his sweat, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was performing poorly, and smashed the towel to the ground angrily.

"Gan, you get out of the game for a while, Buck, get ready to play and stare Chambers to death." Adelman finally made an important substitution to bring Buck Williams on the court, a little earlier than his normal rotation in the second quarter, and it was clear that Adelman wasn't happy with Gan's performance.

This is Bellman who did Gan Guoyang's side, and said to him: "Calm down, we still have a chance, your shot is a little impatient, but I believe you can adjust yourself." ”

Gan Guoyang nodded, he did have some impatience tonight, from the first foul in the opening game, he felt that he had fallen into the trap of the Suns, and then he didn't feel strong in either offense or defense, and the whole team's offense was also a mess, completely relying on the singles of Drexler and Porter, Drexler's swing was quite stable, but his offensive ability was insufficient, and he did not rely on his own ability to carry the team's offense in adversity.

"The two sides are back on the court, and the Trail Blazers have replaced Gan for Buck Williams, which is a little earlier than the normal rotation, and it seems that Gan is really not playing well."

In a team, it is very rare for the team boss to be replaced because of poor performance, and generally even if he plays badly, he has to wait until the normal rotation point to rotate, but in the Trail Blazers, Adelman treats everyone equally, and Gan Guoyang also supports this, because he rarely swings abnormally, and tonight is indeed a special case.

Gan Guoyang also needs to sit down and watch the game from the perspective of a spectator for a while, and think about how to deal with Kevin Johnson and Tom Chambers' pick-and-roll.

However, the situation on the court of the Trail Blazers did not improve due to substitutions and timeouts, and on the first shot after returning, Drexler singled Hornacek with the ball on the left side, trying to rely on his body to force Hornacek.

"Drexler squeezed his back in, turned and shot, but was covered by Mark West! Mark West slapped the ball out of bounds, a big hat! ”

Hornacek's ball was too tricky, he knew that he couldn't beat Drexler, and he was blind with his bounce block, so he simply stopped the game and didn't let Drexler jump fully.

And Drexler didn't have confidence in his step-back jumper, so he took a forward shot, only to be slapped by a volleyball-style block from Mark West.

The TV station's camera was also given to Mark West, this guy seems to have restrained a lot, the first two arrogance was not less taught by Gan Guoyang, and tonight he took advantage and began to sell well, with a serious and serious look.

However, this also reflects that the Suns players attach great importance to this game, and they know that there is really no room for loss, and they will lose if they lose their pants, which is unacceptable in front of the home fans.

However, after re-balling, Drexler received the ball and passed to Duckworth, who hit a hook on his right hand on the left side, and Duckworth's swing in this game was relatively normal, and did not give West a chance to grab a rebound in the front court.

However, there is no way to help the Trail Blazers recover their disadvantage after Duckworth plays, after Buck Williams came on the court, although Tom Chambers was restrained to a certain extent, he did not have the huge defensive deterrence of Gan Guoyang, this time it was considered to have unlocked Kevin Johnson, and it was simply unscrupulous to break through, his degree was too fast, and the breakthrough point was very threatening, Hornacek on the outside, Eddie Johnson and Tom Chambers who came off the bench all have the ability to shoot three-pointers, By the end of the second quarter, the Suns' offense was that everyone pulled Kevin Johnson away and rushed inside alone, either scoring, you fouling, or passing the ball to a teammate to shoot and score.

A year later, Kevin Johnson relied on this method to bring the powerful Los Angeles Lakers off the horse with the Suns.

"Johnson started to break through, his degree was too fast, left-handed basket! The ball is in! A difficult high-hitting cricket toss! Oh~ he's simply unstoppable! ”

Kevin Johnson was straight into the nude burst and didn't rely on anyone's cover to get past Terry Porter in one step, and then Duckworth, despite his best block, still let the ball slip through his fingertips and hit the rebound and fall into the net.

Kevin Johnson also flew out of the bottom line, and his lifeless style of play won huge cheers and applause from the audience.

Gan Guoyang couldn't sit still off the court, although it was only a few dozen seconds before the end of the first half, but in the last few minutes, Kevin Johnson completely tore through the Trail Blazers' defense alone, and no one could restrain him at all.

Adelman seemed to see Gan Guoyang's intentions and said to him: "Calm down, our chance is in the second half, look at this situation, you won't have time to rest in the second half, so sit down a little longer now." ”

Adelman comforted Gan Guoyang like this, Gan Guoyang had to hold back his impatience and pinned his hopes on the second half, but at this time the Trail Blazers were already 21 points behind the Suns, which can be said to be the most behind the opponent except for the regular season Trail Blazers lost to the Pistons.

The gap of 21 points, not if you want to chase, even if Adelman, who is calm, has no confidence in his heart at this time, the key is that the Trailblazers have a way out, and the way out is very wide, this loss is only 2:1, and the Suns have no way to retreat at all, O:3 is bound to lose.

When the buzzer sounded at halftime, the score was fixed at 61:42, and the Trail Blazers relied on Cothy's frontcourt rebound to score two more points in the final moments, narrowing the gap to within 2o points.

Gan Guoyang left the bench without looking back and ran back to the players' tunnel to the locker room, his current state, he didn't want to stay on the court for a minute, he needed to adjust himself.
