The only non-deciding semifinal of the playoffs is about to begin, and Denver fans are ready to watch the Nuggets advance to the 1985 Western Conference Finals at home.

For the Denver Nuggets, although the possibility of reaching the Finals is slim because of the existence of the Lakers, being able to reach the Western Conference Finals is definitely the best reward for them to improve in five seasons after entering the rebuilding since the 1981 season.

The Nuggets' players were full of ambition, and after losing two games first, they won three games in a row, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the team, and the team's locker room reached an unprecedented level of unity.

Plus this is the last season of veteran Dan Isele, so the Nuggets will also want to go as far as possible as possible, as the best gift for the veteran before he retires.

"Good spectators, the game is about to begin. Introducing the starting lineups of both sides, the Trail Blazers playing away, center Sonny Gan, power forward Kenny Carr, small forward Kiki Vanderwich, scoring guard Clyde Drexler, point guard Daniel Valentine; On the Nuggets side, center Wayne Cooper, power forward Calvin Knight, small forward Alex Inglish, Dunn, and point guard Fat Leaf. Compared with the previous games, there is no change, after five games, the two sides should say that they have a very good understanding, I think this game will be a time of morale and energy, the game must be very exciting! ”

Gan Guoyang once again stood in the middle circle, looking at his opponent in these games, former Trail Blazers center Wayne Cooper.

In the last game, Cooper kept Gan at bay well, and he teamed up with Dan Iseer to keep Gan unbothered on the defensive end, opening with a block to Gan.

"Hey Cooper, remember the cap you gave me? There is an old Chinese saying that 'come without being rude', and there is also a saying that 'the grace of a drop of water blocks the spring and reciprocates', I hope you can understand what I mean. Gan Guoyang took advantage of the referee's lack of signal for the scrum, and used his self-created "chinglish" (Chinese English) to spray trash talk at Cooper.

Of course, Cooper couldn't quite understand the meaning of the sentences in Gan Guoyang's own translated Analects, but he could roughly understand that Gan Guoyang wanted to find the rhythm of the scene.

As an interior blue-collar player, Cooper has always been relatively low-key, playing conscientiously and doing his duty on the court.

However, the effective restriction on Gan Guoyang in the last game also made him widely praised by the media, and even some exaggerated media believed that the Trail Blazers replaced Cooper It was a huge mistake, and if it wasn't for Cooper in the Nuggets, Gan Guoyang's performance should be even better.

“knock-it-o。 (Come less.) Cooper smiled faintly at Gan Guoyang, and then threw out a sentence, full of mockery.

"Okay, ready, the game is about to start, are you all ok?" The referee on duty, Lee Jones, interrupted the conversation between the two and signaled that the game was about to begin.

Both nodded their heads to indicate that they were ready, and the referee tossed the ball into the air.

"Scramble, Gan touched the ball first, the Trail Blazers got the right to attack, and the game officially began!"

With Gan Guoyang giving the ball to Drexler in the scrum, the Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking, and this game that was a life-and-death game for the Trail Blazers finally began.

Drexler did not give the ball to Valentin after receiving the ball, but controlled the ball himself for half the court, and it seemed that the first attack of the Trail Blazers would be organized by Drexler.

In terms of talent, Drexler has no problem at all when he comes to being a point guard, except that his dribbling level is a little worse and he is a little too tall.

His ability to read opposition defense and his understanding of his own offense is among the best in the entire league, and many times, his passing is far more lethal than his shot.

In the first attack, Drexler was very cautious, he, Gan Guoyang, and Vanderwig formed an absolute strong side of the attack on the right side, while Karl and Valentin moved to the right side.

This is a very big change from the previous game, where Ramsey always had to leave a strong attack on the weak side, and this choice was usually Van de Veric, so as to balance the balance of the attack in the half.

But this time, Ramsey put all three of the most attacking players on the right side as the offensive strong side, and Vanderwig stepped up to provide Drexler as a one-on-one cover.

Inglish is thin and weak, and his ability on the defensive end may not be as good as Van Dewig, the tall and thick Van Devic easily made a block with Drexler, who immediately held the ball and broke inside from the right side.

In this case, English did not dare to defend Drexler at all, because Vanderwig's outside shooting was too accurate, and the threat after blocking and cutting was great.

So Drexler was flat in front of him, Dunn had been left behind by him, and the only barrier for the Nuggets in the three-second zone was Wayne Cooper.

But Cooper was very calm, he didn't come out to make up for the defense, but watched as Drexler scored a powerful one-handed dunk with one hand! 2:0!

"Drexler's dunk, oh, gave us a glider's glider. However, Cooper didn't come out to make up for the ball, and they seemed to be more afraid of letting Gan open than letting the glider score. Frank Graeber also saw that Cooper gave up on the defense and let Drexler score, just didn't want Gan Guoyang to have a chance to catch the ball and score.

"That's right, the lessons of the Mavericks in the last round are in front of us, and once the inside line is opened, then the Trail Blazers' strong outside line will undoubtedly be more unscrupulous."

"Are you so scared of letting me score?" Gan Guoyang said to Cooper when he returned to defense.

"No, you don't have the ability to score, stinky boy." Cooper was also a little angry by Gan Guoyang's provocation, and as a result, Cooper began to feel that he had found a trick to deal with Gan Guoyang, a newcomer.

The two are chattering, and the Nuggets have launched a counterattack.

For the Nuggets, the biggest confidence they have in these three games is that the Trail Blazers can't contain them on the defensive end.

Let the Trail Blazers score easily, and the Nuggets are not afraid because they can score more easily on the offensive end.

In the first game, Gan Guoyang's stiflation of the Nuggets' outside pass ball was just a flash in the pan, and in the later games, the Nuggets expanded their running range and transfer speed, in this case, even if Gan Guoyang has two more legs, it is impossible to cover the defense in all directions.

Cooper mentioned catching the ball on the line, and the Nuggets started their repeated screen-and-run offense again, not knowing who it would be this time...... Cooper was caught between Gan and Valentine and was cut off! ”

Originally, Cooper took the ball in the high post to cover Leaf with the ball, squeezing Leaf around Cooper and rolling in from the left side, but Valentine, who was opposite Leaf, did not continue to defend Leaf at all, but pinched Cooper with Gan Guoyang.

The pinch shot caught Cooper off guard, and the ball was lost under the bag of Valentin and Gan Guoyang, and Valentin fell to the ground to get the ball and smashed it into the front court before the Nuggets players pounced.

"Gan got the ball, the Nuggets' backcourt was empty, Gan looked back, no one followed, a one-handed dunk! Add two more points to the Trail Blazers. ”

At 4:0, Gan Guoyang performed a one-handed split for the audience exactly the same as in the warm-up, full of power and beauty, and seemed to challenge all Nuggets fans.

"How's that, a nice dunk, sadly, you're not below me." Gan Guoyang ran back to the backcourt after scoring a goal, and then squeezed Cooper with his body while nagging in his ear.

Cooper was squeezed by Gan Guoyang who rushed forward, but Gan Guoyang didn't make a move, just leaned on Cooper with his body and walked in, which was not a foul, and his mouth was not clean.

Cooper suddenly became angry, and shook Gan Guoyang fiercely with his arm, trying to push Gan Guoyang away from him.

According to Gan Guoyang's strength, Cooper wanted to push Gan Guoyang down, but Gan Guoyang fell to the ground like a strong King Kong palm!

"Beep! No. 42, pushing foul. "The referee's whistle blew and Cooper was called a foul!

After the referee made this decision, the scene was full of boos, and everyone was booing Gan Guoyang, thinking that his goal was obviously pretended.

Gan Guoyang completely ignored the boos of the fans at the scene, stood up with the support of his teammates, and rejoined the attack.

"Gan made a foul from the Nuggets, and the ball returned to the Trail Blazers, and it seems that the Trail Blazers have a good momentum in the opening game to see if they can extend their advantage. It was still Drexler who controlled the ball, this time it was Gan who came out to block for Drexler, Drexler broke through the middle with the ball, passed the ball out, and passed to Gan in the bottom corner, who received the ball at 15 feet...... Shot! The ball is in! Gan's mid-range jumper from the 15-foot position! ”

No one expected that Gan Guoyang would shoot a 15-foot mid-range jumper from the outside.

The Nuggets' defensive strategy is obvious, if Gan Guoyang blocks and goes inside, then even if Drexler scores directly, he can't let Gan Guoyang receive the ball and go to the basket, because Drexler can't break in like this forever, but Gan Guoyang can always catch the ball like this and go to the basket easily.

If Gan Guoyang retreats after blocking and dismantling, then Cooper will give up his marking of Gan Guoyang to make up for Drexler, because in the regular season and previous games, Gan Guoyang did not show any offensive ability in the middle distance.

In this ball, Cooper saw Gan Guoyang retreat to the bottom line, so he did not hesitate to give up the marking of Gan Guoyang, and instead went to attack Drexler, but he didn't expect Drexler to be able to share the ball with Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang also threw the ball in the middle distance!

Gan Guoyang was also happy after throwing this goal, shaking his head and grinning while returning to defense.

This playoffs also exposed Gan Guoyang's two biggest weaknesses, one is that he is not mature to handle the ball after being trapped, and he has improved a lot through the bad video in the regular season, but in the playoffs, in the face of a highly targeted defense, he seems to be in a hurry.

The second is that his attack range is still too small, although his hook range can be as far as 17 feet, but the hook is not a jump shot after all, and he has never caught the ball after blocking and dismantling, so once Gan Guoyang is too far away from the basket, his threat on the offensive end is greatly reduced.

But since the first day of regular season training, Gan Guoyang has never relaxed his training to recover his mid-range jumper ability, and it can even be said that he has practiced harder than anyone else.

It's just that in the game, he has never had the opportunity to use his new technology, and the team's tactical system does not need him to pull out the mid-range shot.

Now it's different, the Trailblazers have reached the most dangerous moment, and Gan Guoyang knows that it's time to take out his new weapon and make a debut.

"I really didn't expect Gan to make a mid-range jumper, and I think the Nuggets will have to take good precautions next, which must be a big test for their defense. Of course, we don't know if Gan Jin's goal is a dribbling balloon. James Brown expressed concern about the Nuggets' defense.

At this time, for the Nuggets, it is more important to score a goal first, it doesn't matter if the defense is not good, and the poor offense is a fatal wound for the Nuggets.

The Trail Blazers have significantly increased their intensity defensively, and everyone's attention is highly focused, with Valentin and Drexler on the outside trying their best to press the Nuggets' passing lanes, so that the opponent's passing is not as fluid.

Once the pass is not smooth, it will be difficult for the Nuggets players to find a quick opportunity to shoot after receiving the ball, so their offense begins to get bogged down.

The Nuggets still handed the ball to Inglish to deal with, Inglish shook it, shook off Vanderwicki, cut in from the middle, Gan stepped up to make up for it, Inglish hit the ball to Cooper, Cooper made a layup... It was covered by Gan turning around! The ball was still in Cooper's hand, and Cooper shook it twice before making a strong layup...... was fanned out by Gan again! Karl got the ball and the Trail Blazers launched a counterattack. ”

Cooper cut in from the middle and received a pass from Inglish under the basket, which was supposed to be a very good opportunity for layup, but Gan Guoyang finished defending Inglish and turned around to cover Cooper's layup, which was amazingly fast.

Cooper wanted to shake off Gan Guoyang for a layup for the second time, but Gan Guoyang didn't shake at all at first, seeing that the offensive time was almost 24 seconds, Cooper could only force it again, but the result was the same as last time, and he was slapped out by Gan Guoyang again.

The Trail Blazers launched a counterattack, Valentin advanced with the ball, and Gan Guoyang and Drexler quickly cut in from the wing.

The Nuggets' defensive attention was on Drexler, who had already rushed into the three-second zone, and Gan did run outside.

Instead of passing the ball to Drexler, Valentin passed it to Gan Guoyang on the right.

Gan received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, while Cooper was chasing after him.

Gan Guoyang looked at Drexler, who rushed to the basket, and was about to pass the ball inward.

Cooper fell for Gan Guoyang, and instead of pounced on Gan Guoyang, he reached out to block Gan Guoyang's passing route.

But Gan Guoyang didn't pass the ball at all, it was just a feint of his, he put his hands back and held the ball in front of his chest, put his feet together, and jumped directly to shoot!

"Gan shot from 18 feet, very standard position...... Ball in! ”

"Huh!" The basketball goes through a very high arc and ends up hollow into the net.

At 8:0, the Trail Blazers gave the Nuggets an 8:0 small ** at the beginning, Gan Guoyang contributed 6 of them, and 4 of these six points came from mid-range shooting.

On the Nuggets' bench, Doug Mo had already stood up and made a timeout gesture.

Just over 2 minutes into the opening game, Gan Guoyang stopped the Nuggets and used his new weapon.
