"Magic Johnson, hit man with the ball! This ball hit someone with the ball! Johnson looked innocent, he was explaining to the referee, but there was no way, Gan made Johnson's dribble hit, the Lakers' last offense failed, and the Trail Blazers had 7 seconds to spare, and Adelman called a timeout. ”

With seven seconds left in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still led the Lakers by 10 points at 55:45, and the Lakers struggled after that timeout, but couldn't get around.

Gan Guoyang focused on the defensive end, the Lakers' offense became extremely difficult, and Magic Johnson was treated like a Trail Blazers outside wheel battle, with Cauchy, Drexler, and even Gan Guoyang taking turns to consume Magic.

Sabonis's presence allows Gan Guoyang to expand boldly and without worrying about the emptiness of the interior, of course, Sabonis also paid the price of two fouls in three minutes, and was taught by Abdul-Jabbar what is the NBA's top offensive skills.

But because of Gan Guoyang's defensive delay and active retreat guarantee, the Lakers' fast offense has never been able to play powerful, they have eaten Gan Guoyang's four hats on the fast offensive end, in the words of Zike Hearn, Gan Guoyang tonight is like a volleyball player.

In the Lakers' home court, on Magic Johnson's body, the last attack in the first half, Gan Guoyang was able to make Magic Johnson's offensive foul, which is enough to show that in the eyes of the referee, Gan Guoyang has been able to be on an equal footing with Johnson, otherwise most of the referees will still let the Magic man go.

"People are staring at people, AC, staring at Gan, don't let him easily get to the inside line. Pinch Sabonis and let them shoot from the outside. Riley yelled from the sidelines, his request was simple, he could only do that.

And Adelman's tactical arrangement is also very simple, Drexler receives the ball and Gan Guoyang blocks and dismantles, Drexler makes a judgment on whether to throw or pass, Adelman also replaces Cauchy and replaces Paxson to enhance the outside projection threat.

"Go around! Go around the front! Don't relax! Chase close! Riley is very serious about this ball, and he always thinks that the Trail Blazers will have some tactics to play and give them a stab.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and it was Sabonis who served from the outside, and it was almost impossible for the Lakers to stop Sabonis from passing the ball.

Sabonis observed, the Lakers' defense was very tight, Drexler ran near the halfway line to break out of the gap, Sabonis immediately passed the ball, Drexler pushed away Scott, who was close to him, and got the ball.

After receiving the ball, Drexler immediately turned around and forcibly rushed forward from the right side, Gan Guoyang had already gone to the middle to block and dismantle for Drexler at this time, but this time the blocking effect was not good, he did not completely block Scott, and AC Green did not go to make up for Derexler, but stared at Gan Guoyang.

Five seconds into it, Drexler opted for a pull-up jumper! Miss! But...... Sabonis got the rebound in the frontcourt, and he passed the ball to Gan, who made a three-pointer from the outside! ”

Zike Hearn's voice reached his throat, and although it was only the last goal of the first half, it was extremely important for both sides.

Then, Hearn's voice fell from his throat: "The ball is in...... The whistle was three points, the ball went in, and the whistle three points in the first half were Gan, and the difference was stretched to 13 points, and the situation was unfavorable to the Lakers......"

The expressions of the Lakers fans at the scene were the same as Zike Hearn's voice, obviously with a hint of disappointment, watching Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers players cheering and running into the player tunnel back to the locker room.

But no one thought that Sabonis, who was originally serving on the outside, would suddenly come out, pick up this frontcourt rebound and pass the ball to Gan Guoyang, at this time AC Green's attention has been attracted by the ball, and he didn't care about Gan Guoyang, but Gan Guoyang picked up a leak and put in a three-pointer, and he also scored the 20th point of the first half.

"Hey, Avidas, how did you get this rebound?" Gan asked Sabonis in the tunnel of the players.

Sabonis looked at Gan Guoyang and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you tell me to run to the outside of the basket when I saw Clyde shooting?" I thought the ball was going to crash to the left 45 degrees, so I rushed over and the ball flew over. ”

It turned out that Sabonis listened to Gan Guoyang's evaluation of Drexler's shooting and felt that it was very reasonable, so he really judged it in the game, and the result was really blindfolded!

Gan Guoyang felt like laughing when he heard it, his evaluation of Drexler was obviously "black", Sabonis really believed it, not only did he believe it, but he actually picked up a frontcourt rebound by doing it.

Sabonis didn't score a point in the first half, dished out four assists and grabbed three rebounds, the stats looked unremarkable, and the difference he brought to the Trail Blazers was truly obvious to all.

Gan Guoyang was completely liberated at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he no longer needed to play the low post on offense, and there was a guardian in the interior line of defense, Gan Guoyang could rest assured that he could walk boldly, although Sabonis's level of blocking under the basket could not be compared with Gan Guoyang, but his height and weight were there, and standing still was a high wall.

At halftime, the Trail Blazers' locker room and the Lakers' locker room were two days of ice and fire, with the Trail Blazers at ease, the players talking and laughing, and everyone stepped forward to high-five Sabonis and told him that he played well in the first half.

In the Lakers' locker room, Pat Riley's face sank like water, the Lakers' performance in the first half was actually very good, the team made more adequate preparations before the game, and the players were in quite good shape, but when it came to the game, Riley and the players felt that they "couldn't beat"!

This feeling, which has only occurred in Riley's coaching career against the 76ers in 1983, is really a gap in tactics and strength, and he can't resist it even if he tries his best.

But Riley is not reconciled, he thinks there will be a way to restrain the Trail Blazers' interior twin towers, he thinks that the Trail Blazers' twin towers can achieve such a good effect, there is a surprise reason, in the face of this kind of lineup, not only the Lakers are not prepared, other teams have not encountered, Riley has no chance to watch the video to prepare.

Riley is not a coach who is good at on-the-spot planning, his strength lies in his daily tactical preparation and mental motivation, this guy is an out-and-out orator, but he also felt a little short of words in this game, because he didn't expect such a situation at all.

The Lakers' morale is obviously a little low, Riley wants to use some motivational words to boost the morale of the players, and Magic Johnson is still cheering up his teammates, but the effect is not obvious.

After suffering two consecutive years of falling in the Finals, this year's Lakers are a bit of a poor situation.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, in the third quarter, when Terry Porter hit two three-pointers in a row, and Gan Guoyang hit a hook hand again, stretching the difference between the two sides to 21 points at once, the Lakers really couldn't stand it.

Then, the two teams began to see-saw, the difference has remained around 20 points, and in the fourth quarter, the Lakers set off a final counterattack, this time, Adelman remained steady, sent Gan Guoyang and Williams inside combination, firmly controlled the situation on the court, and maintained the lead until the end.

At 113:95, the Trail Blazers easily picked off the Lakers with an 18-point advantage on the road, which not only disappointed the fans on the spot, but also surprised some football reporters.

Sabonis was the biggest surprise for the Trail Blazers in the game, although he only had 4 points and 7 rebounds in the game, he also handed out 5 assists, and his appearance allowed the Trail Blazers to complete the interior to overwhelm the Lakers' aging center and power forward.

So after the game, Sabonis also became the darling of journalists, surrounded by microphones and cameras.

After the game, Sabonis accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from CBS TV, the main interviewer of the TV station in the past was Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang scored 30 points, 19 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 steals tonight, and he was the best in the game, but he was still "snubbed" by reporters.

In this regard, Gan Guoyangle was leisurely, ran to the locker room early and took a shower, and then sneaked out with his luggage to return to the team bus.

Sabonis had to face the questions of reporters alone, the team did not provide him with an interpreter, he has learned English well, but he is still a little nervous to actually face reporters.

"Did you feel nervous when Coach Adelman suddenly put you on the pitch when you didn't play in the previous games? And your performance on the pitch does seem to be a great help to your teammates, and the five assists are really impressive. ”

"Uh...... Gan told me not to be nervous...... After I got on the pitch, Gan said to play with him, and then the ball went in, and I felt much better. Belch... Gan gave me a lot of guidance in his usual training, and Gan said that you should pay attention to anticipation when grabbing rebounds...... Gan ......"

The reporter soon found that Sabonis did not leave Gan Guoyang in three sentences, and a reporter said with a smile that he was not going to interview Gan, but he didn't expect him to steal the spotlight in the interview.

For Sabonis, there was no interpreter present for the first interview, and his teammates all left with a smile, and the person he was most familiar with was Gan Guoyang, so naturally he would not leave him in three sentences, and he would slowly get used to it in the future.
