'You have to get to know the characteristics of every player on the pitch, whether it's the opponent or your team-mates. If you knew James Worthy was shooting lower than Clyde, you wouldn't be able to pounce on him when he was shooting! ”

Gan Guoyang, who was forced off the court in the first quarter because of two fouls, sat on the bench and listened to Ramsey's teaching, and he felt that he had learned more from Ramsey in this game than he had in the previous three months combined.

It seems that a lot of experience has to be accumulated quickly in the game, especially against the strong team.

Gan Guoyang, who sat on the sidelines and watched the players on the court continue to play, thought about his performance in this half of the quarter, and he found that the game was always under the control of the Lakers.

The Lakers not only maintain the lead in the score, but also have a tactical advantage, forcing the Trail Blazers to make adjustments, and the Lakers rely on strong individual player ability to adapt to all changes.

At this time, the Trail Blazers' offense was changed again because of Gan Guoyang's departure, Kenny Carr came off the bench, and he and Sampson were completely pulled apart from the inside, opening up space for the Trail Blazers to break through on the outside.

With Drexler on the court, the Trail Blazers' ability to break through from the outside has been enhanced.

Drexler's breakout kicks in very quickly, but his breakaway doesn't change much, whether it's a sudden change of direction or a stop-and-go change, it's not his strong point.

The characteristic of his breakthrough is that he rushes in with his head down, and is easily caught or intercepted.

But Drexler has a huge advantage, and he likes to keep his head down when he breaks through, but that doesn't mean he doesn't look at his teammates.

On the contrary, Drexler has a wide field of vision and excellent passing awareness, and his passing is definitely at the level of a starting point guard.

Vandewig, who echoes him, is a mid-to-long-range shooter who is also a threat in the low post because of his height and weight, and he cuts into the layup with his left hand on the left side of the baseline very quickly, which is difficult to guard.

During the period when Gan Guoyang was off the court, the Trail Blazers relied on Drexler's breakout and Van Deweic's personal attack power to continue their firepower.

The Lakers are getting faster and faster, and after attacking from the opening few positions, they are like sports cars in 5th gear, and there is nothing to stop their fast attack.

If there is, then Gan Guoyang, who had previously delayed their fast attack, has been knocked out of the field and sat on the bench.

The first quarter ended as James Worthy received a pass from Johnson on the fast break and dunked the ball with one hand, leaving only a bewildered Vanderwich under the basket.

The Lakers played smoothly in the first quarter, shooting 70 percent from the field and scoring 38 points in a single quarter, while the opposite Trail Blazers struggled to catch up, relying on the play of Van Dewig and Drexler, barely pulling the score to 26 points, and trailing by 12 points in the first quarter.

'You can see that if you're there, you can definitely contribute more to the team, so you have to control yourself, and only if you control yourself, you can control the game.' Ramsey looked at the 12-point difference and said to Gan Guoyang on the side.

"Only if you are in control of yourself can you control the game......" When he heard this sentence again, Gan Guoyang thought of Bill Russell and Nate Thurmond, both of whom had said similar things to himself.

To this day, Gan Guoyang still has no way to truly understand the true meaning of this sentence, and the two fouls in the first quarter of the game once again taught him a lesson.

The second quarter quickly resumed, with Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar both substituted and replaced by Michael Cooper and Bob McAdoo.

Cooper is a treasure that the Lakers picked up in the low pick, and although he has average talent, he has long limbs and is a good piece of material for defense.

With the Lakers, he has been playing the role of the big lock on the outside, sharing the pressure for the Magic and Worthy, and Riley sent him on the court, naturally to let him suppress Drexler and prevent him from breaking through and sharing the ball easily.

And McAdoo, as a former first-line superstar, is still young, and can continue to contribute firepower to the Lakers' interior line when Abdul-Jabbar is off.

The Trail Blazers, on their side, also entered the first rotation, and this year's rookie is the same batch as Gan Guoyang, No. 14 Steven Colt.

On his first day at the University of Portland, Colter was strangled by Drex's physical strength in a three-on-three fast-break drill, but after three months of training and a few games, he has managed to gain Ramsey's trust and make it to the Trail Blazers' rotation.

He is the kind of point guard that Ramsey likes, and after four years of college training, he knows all the routines, is obedient, does not make mistakes, and resolutely executes the coach's strategy.

His style of play is as boring as his shriveled face and dead fish-like eyes, but he will never be the worrisome guy on the court, and he looks as if he's been in the league for 10 years, including his looks.

But being decent doesn't mean he's mediocre and incompetent, and he's just as capable of stepping up when necessary.

Ramsey knows that the second team is often a mess of the game, and that's when there is a need for a spoiler, a player who disrupts the rhythm of both sides.

Colt did a good job of Ramsey's task and began to "mess around".

First, at the beginning of the second quarter, he relied on Karl's cover to open the scoring with a mid-range shot, and then cut off Scott's ball and made a successful fast-break layup.

Although Vanderwich was still unable to contain James Worthy's low singles on the defensive end, Colter quickly closed the gap to eight points with a pull-up jumper on a quick counterattack.

At this point, the opening time is less than a minute.

"Oh, Colt took a minute to plow the Lakers quickly, and the Lakers' defense seemed to be overturned." Zike Hearn continues with his commentary, saying that "Colter" means plowshare in English.

"Well done Lovely Colt! But watch your defense! Lead the defense! 'Ramsey will never be happy with his players.

Due to Johnson's departure, the Lakers were combined with two shooting guards, Byron Scott and Michael Cooper, and the Lakers' offensive speed slowed down instantly.

At this time, the main attack points of the Lakers are Worthy in the low post and McAdoo in the high post.

Although Worthy is a small forward, his low-post single-post ability is really terrifying, Gan Guoyang looked at his fierce card position and his quick turn, and he had to praise Worthy's strong low-post ability.

And their backup center McAdoo had a beautiful turnaround jumper, he and Worthy were both in a low post and a high post, making the Trail Blazers' defense take care of one or the other, and he missed McAdoo after Worthy, and he hit a jumper from a 12-foot position to widen the gap between the two teams to 10 points.

At this time, Gan Guoyang sat on the bench like an ant on a hot pot, eager to play, and he couldn't watch his opponent wreak havoc on the Trail Blazers' interior.

Mitchell Sampson has always been strong in attack and weak in defense, and after McAdoo pulled to the outside position, he was even more hesitant to follow out.

And Kennekar went to switch to defend Worthy, and there was no way to stop Worthy, Worthy's 6-foot-8 height and out-of-the-sè arm span were not afraid of the big forward's defense at all.

"Let me go, Mr. Ramsay!" Gan Guoyang shouted from the side.

"Be calm and willing, and follow the coach's command." Adelman dissuaded that he had not yet met a player like Gan Guoyang, who was neither big nor small, and asked the coach to replace him on the bench.

Ramzi didn't care, he knew that Gan Guoyang was eager to fight, he just shook his head and motioned to Gan Guoyang to wait a little longer.

The situation on the court was a stalemate, with the Trail Blazers taking Worthy and McAdoo in the open, while Scott and Cooper also used cold arrows from the outside.

Similarly, although Drexler was pestered by Cooper, Vanderwich and Colter still played sè to help the Trail Blazers bite the score, and the gap between the two teams has always remained around 10 points.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew and Colter caused a foul on Rambis as he broke through, and Colter was about to step to the free throw line.

If those two free throws go in, the Trail Blazers will once again narrow the score to within 10 points, and the score will become 44-52, with seven minutes to go until the end of the first half.

At this time, Gan Guoyang finally saw Ramsey pointing at him, signaling him to play, and asking him to replace Sampson. Ramsey also brought on Van de Veritch and Drexler for rookies Jerome Cauchy and Jim Jim Paxson.

At the same time, the Lakers also replaced Rambis and Scott, and Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar returned to the game.

"Hello, Gan, I hope you can stay on the court a little longer." Gan Guoyang, who stood on the edge of the three-second zone and waited for Colt's free throw, met his old enemy Bob McAdoo again.

"I bet he'll be back on the bench in two minutes for a third foul." Worthy on the side was also adding oil and vinegar.

Gan Guoyang, who was sandwiched between the two, didn't say a word, at this time he put all his attention on Colt who was shooting free throws, and he was buzzing like a fly when the two people next to him talked.

Colter missed the first free throw, and the shot was obviously heavy, smashing into the neck of the basket.

In the second ball, Colter adjusted it, but as soon as he made a shot, Gan Guoyang felt that the ball was light.

Gan Guoyang rushed in front of everyone and rushed into the three-second zone at once, and the ball really smashed into the front of the basket. Gan Guoyang

Gan Guoyang was squeezed by three Lakers players and couldn't jump, but he still took advantage of his arm span to be the first to point the basketball in a bunch of hands and flicked the ball back.

Then he grabbed the basketball first in the air, but he didn't take the ball down, but the moment he got the ball and landed, he jumped up again with the ball and shot under a frontal basket.

Worthy was squeezed by Gan Guoyang, McAdoo lacked the bounce of his youth, and Abdul-Jabbar on the other side was pushed away by two Trail Blazers players, so he could only watch Gan Guoyang make a simple easy-ball, filling in 2 points for the Trail Blazers, 44:52, and the difference was narrowed to less than 10 points.

"You two are as slow as two shot put balls on your ass." After scoring, Gan Guoyang naturally would not be polite to Worthy and McAdoo, mocking the two for being too slow.

"This guy's strong." Wo Xi sighed in his heart Gan Guoyang's strength, he didn't expect Gan Guoyang, a Chinese center, to be so outstanding, and when he was stuck just now, he felt that he couldn't fight against the other party at all.

But just when the three of them were burying each other, Johnson had already run quickly through the half, passing three people in a row, and under the interference of Kenny Carr, a low-handed layup with a right hand for a left hand scored the ball very beautifully.

The score was suddenly pulled to 10 points, and Gan Guoyang also felt the horror of the magician, with a height of 6-9, when he rushed up and broke into the inside, no one could stop him.

It's also about Johnson's passing ability, you don't know when and where and how he's going to get the ball out, and when the ball goes in, the defenders may not know what's going on.

The Trail Blazers could only continue to play positional offense, and Ramsey decided to put the main attack on Gan Guoyang to see if he could open the situation from the inside.

Due to Abdul-Jabbar's disadvantage in footwork, Riley asked McAdoo to defend Gan Guoyang, which allowed Gan Guoyang to come to strength.

"Are you ready to be beaten?" Gan Guoyang said to McAdoo while stuck under the basket.

"You'd better be restrained." McAdoo is still haunted by Gan Guoyang's punch in the chest during that training, he is also an NBA old-timer, a former superstar.

Gan Guoyang doesn't care about these, in his opinion, superstars are used to challenge, and whether he respects a person or not has nothing to do with whether he is a superstar or not.

Thurmond and Chamberlain are both superstars, but Gan Guoyang respects them because he has learned a lot from the two and felt their charisma.

McAdoo may not be a bad guy, but since he is more energetic on the court, he has to compete with basketball.

Gan Guoyang takes the ball in the low post on the right side, dribbles, observes, does not have a bag, rolls over to the bottom line, hooks his hand!

Gan's hook hand turned out to be as graceful as Karim's, his right leg was also raised, and the ball went in! Oh my God, it's beautiful! Zike Heinye didn't just admire Gan's hook.

A big difference between Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook and ordinary hook hand is that at the same time as the right hand hook, the right leg will also be raised to make coordinated movements, so that the whole is very coherent and beautiful, while the general hook hand has no action requirements for the legs.

Gan Guoyang's hook hand is naturally very sè.

"Does this feel familiar? I think you've been wreaking havoc on your head a lot in training. Gan Guoyang didn't forget to add a sentence after scoring the goal, and ran away without waiting for McAdoo to respond.

"Well done, let's guard against the next one!" Drexler said.

With Vanderwig off the court, Drexler started playing as small forward, with him defending Worthy and Johnson handing over to Paxson.

Although Drexler is shorter than Van de Vicky and not as strong as Van de Vicky, in terms of physical running and jumping quality, he is not worse than Worthy.

When Worthy picked up the ball in the low post again, it was obvious that the defender behind him was more energetic and seemed to be less easy to deal with.

But he still believed in his turnaround speed, and after a few dribbles, he repeated his old trick, turning inside and facing the basket in an attempt to end the offense with a small throw.

But Drexler didn't jump to block, but played a trick, and gently pushed Worthy below, and the referee did not blow the penalty for this small action, first, the foul blowing penalty was relatively loose at that time, and second, Drexler's small action was very hidden.

At this time, Worthy's jump height was affected, and he lost his balance in the air, and he was greeted by Gan Guoyang's big hat.

Before Worthy's ball could be shot, it was pressed down by Gan Guoyang, and Worthy also fell to the ground with the huge force from his hand.

"Attack, attack!" Gan Guoyang snatched the ball under the cover and passed it to Paxson, and the Trail Blazers launched a fast break.

The Lakers' retreat was very fast, Cooper also delayed Paxson's advancement, Drexler fell to the ground, and the Trail Blazers' fast break failed to hit.

Gan Guoyang saw that the fast attack could not be achieved, and seeing that the Lakers' defense was not in formation, he immediately sank to a very deep position and stuck McAdoo directly to the position.

Seeing this, Paxson passed a high hanging to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang didn't hesitate, pulled a piece out, turned around to the bottom line, faced the basket sideways, slapped the ball, and hooked his hand again.

Ball in!

McAdoo hadn't even been able to make any effective interference, he was too old.

"You can never stop me except for fouls!" Gan Guoyang pointed at McAdoo and told the old MVP that you are no longer the overlord under the basket.

"Bob, let me guard him." Abdul-Jabbar said.
