Gan Guoyang's pass and break, Drexler's two dunks, suddenly broke the tension that shrouded the Trail Blazers players, and the two best players on the team began to play a role, and the other players naturally took a reassurance and began to focus on the game, rather than being disturbed by other factors.

Because of the change in the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy, Gan Guoyang began to wander on a larger scale, and the Trail Blazers' defensive chaos became more active.

Still, Larry Bird spotted the opportunity, flicked away Van der Vicky with a feint after receiving the ball on the left, and then hit a drifting jumper from a tight angle.

This is the individual ability of the Celtics players, and the basketball game is like that, and sometimes the individual ability is to be able to change the situation of the whole game, including Gan Guoyang.

If you want to compare the shooting ability, Vanderwig is really not too false Bird, Bird just scored one on Vanderwig's head, and Vanderwig immediately went back and returned one.

"Gan took the ball, broke through from the baseline, passed, Vanderwig on the left received the ball and hit a jumper. Gan plays like an outside player, and it's hard to find an interior player in the league who combines back-to-back skills and basket skills. ”

"That's right, I still remember when he was in his rookie season, he was still relatively rusty with the basket, and his basket-carrying skills were relatively monotonous, and he learned a lot in one season." The two commentators were talking about Gan Guoyang's technique, indeed, Gan Guoyang's basket breakthrough has become more and more powerful, and the tall and thin Parrish is really a little difficult to prevent him, his strength is not comparable, and his speed is a little unable to keep up, so he can only rely on excellent positioning and awareness.

And this goal, what really reflects Vanderwig's running skills, if it is an ordinary forward player, seeing Gan Guoyang rushing in like this, there is a chance that he will rush to grab the frontcourt rebound or wait to return to defense, Van Dewicz is indeed very clever to run back to the bottom line of the weak side.

Larry Bird's slower lateral movement speed is a major flaw in his defense, and Gan Guoyang may not be able to pass the ball, but as long as it gets to Van Deweewch, the result is a proper score.

"Gan's passing is eye-catching, and it's rare for a big player to rush to this position and pass the ball, and usually they only have the basket in their eyes...... Let's look at the ball, Parish receives a pass from Bird, rolls over and shakes it, and hits a jumper! Parish's turnaround jumper fooled Jones' defense. ”

The Celtics' offense didn't stop because of the Trail Blazers' defensive changes, and they adjusted very quickly because they had so many autonomous scoring points that all five people on the court could be the first offensive starter.

Bird, as the dispatcher of the attack, took the baton from Dennis Johnson, received the ball in the middle, and after being surrounded by a double, he took two steps outside slightly, and suddenly a pass was handed to Parish, who was stuck in a good position.

Jones was still a little slower in the face of Parish, Parish turned over and shook Jones's center of gravity, and then immediately hit a jump shot, and the Chiefs' shooting touch was still very good.

Defensively, the Trail Blazers weakened the Celtics' momentum to a certain extent, but they still couldn't stop the Celtics' flexible offense, but fortunately their offense improved a lot, and every point began to work.

"Gan came out to block for Colt, and Colter made a jumper at the top of the arc! hit, the Celtics did not choose to make up the defense, but put Colt to shoot. ”

The Celtics attach great importance to the protection of the penalty area in defense, and large-scale pressing and rotation are not the strong points of the Celtics defense, they are good at guarding the inside line, using accurate positioning and unexpected packing, and breaking the ball to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm.

So, a simple behind-the-cover jumper like Colter's is the best way to deal with the Celtics, and Michael Jordan did that in the first round.

But Colter is not Michael Jordan, there are four players in the starter, only Gan Guoyang still did not open, after the first two missed shots, he chose to focus on defense, and more on offense to create opportunities for his teammates.

In the eighth minute of the game, the score was tied at 27:19, and the Celtics still led the Trail Blazers by eight points, and the two sides entered a lineup rotation period.

"Gan, let's take a break." Kenny Carr said to Gan Guoyang on the sidelines, Gan Guoyang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ramsey to replace him so quickly.

In the past, the Trail Blazers' fixed rotation was that Gan Guoyang came off the bench in the eighth minute, and then Mitchell Sampson led the team through the first quarter, and Gan Guoyang was back on the court in the middle of the second quarter.

However, later, there was a change in the rotation of the lineup, and Gan Guoyang, who was younger and more physically strong, began to lead the team to play the end of the first quarter, and even in the first few minutes of the second quarter, he would be on the court, take a break in the middle, and then play the middle and late second quarter.

"Rest well, give the first quarter to your teammates, I don't want the Celtics to wear you down." Ramsey said to Gan Guoyang.

Because the Celtics replaced Parrish, it was Ramsey's old apprentice Bill Wharton, the best sixth man of the season, the greatest white center, if Gan Guoyang had to spend time fighting with Wharton in the first quarter, and then the defensive end had to go to McHale, then Gan Guoyang would be exhausted in the first half.

In order to protect his ace, Ramsay replaced Gan Guoyang, and then Jim Paxson, replacing Colter, allowing Drexler to control the ball while allowing the team to accelerate.

The negative impact of Gan Guoyang's departure on the defensive end of the game for the Trail Blazers is obvious, the Celtics showed the Trail Blazers players a subtle tacit cooperation, McHale and Wharton frequently received the ball on the inside and scored directly to the basket, and Jones and Kenny Carr wanted to block the two best sixth men, but it was not so easy.

But the Trail Blazers, with the support of Paxson and Drexler, still tied the score with the Celtics, and the two were good at breaking and shooting, and they did not fall behind in the battle between DJ and Ange.

Paxson even relied on his stronger and taller body to eat Danny Ainge on two occasions, which also caused Aggie to foul, and Casey Jones had to replace Aggie first.

At the end of the first quarter, Paxson also hit a buzzer-beating throw, perfectly fulfilling his duties as the sixth man, and fixed the score at 36:30, with a margin of only six points.

In the first quarter of the finals, the Trail Blazers players didn't seem to have experienced too much of the difference from the usual game, if I had to say that it was not the same, that is, the mood, the unusual nervousness, but after a quarter, this tension has almost calmed down.

Soon the second quarter began.

Gan Guoyang stood up from the bench, and after resting for 7 or 8 minutes, he could go on the court again with plenty of physical strength, and this time, he at least broke the embarrassment of not scoring in the finals.

It was only a matter of time before Gan Guoyang scored in the finals, and after waiting for a quarter, this first point came very early.

"Gan is in the horn position, he is here again with the ball, and his key positions in this game are very shallow, and it seems that he can't get to the ...... Gan directly hooks the shot! The ball went in...... A 17-foot hook, which was Gan's first point of the game, was somewhat incredible. ”

Dick Stockton didn't react yet, Gan Guoyang looked like he was going to respond in the horn position, Drexler and Paxson bypassed him respectively, but Gan Guoyang didn't pass the ball, but suddenly started a big hook, and Bill Wharton, who was opposite him, didn't have time to react, so he could only watch Gan Guoyang hit a long-distance hook shot.

"Oh~" The fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh, this hook hand seemed to evoke their bad memories, when Gan Guoyang could hook at this distance, it showed that his hand was recovering.

“**！” Larry Bird couldn't help but curse when he saw Gan Guoyang's hook shot, although the big bird was arrogant, he saw Gan Guoyang throw such a ball, and his heart also burst out.

The margin suddenly became four points, but Bird turned around and hit a mid-range pullup jumper, and the difference became six points again.

"As long as you can get in, I can get in." Larry Bird said to Gan Guoyang, extremely confident.

Bird is qualified to say such things, Gan Guoyang immediately went to the next city after scoring the first point, and the 8-minute break gave him plenty of physical strength, and Bill Wharton couldn't resist Gan Guoyang pushing all the way to the basket, and then hit a small hook shot.

"The Celtics didn't seem to interfere as much with Gan's catches as they did in the first quarter, and of course, the height of Drexler and Paxson from the outside allowed them to feed the ball better...... But let's see, Bird hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner! ”

Gan Guoyang just scored one, Bird immediately returned a three-point in the bottom corner, and Cauchy, who had just come on the court, was obviously a little confused about the finals.

"I said, as long as you can get in, I can get in." Bird didn't forget to say to Gan Guoyang.

"Is Bird going to have a big point fight with Gan? We see, Gan got the ball on the left side, and he's going to shoot straight with his hook hand...... Bird stepped forward and knocked out Gan's ball, no foul! The Celtics' three-line fast break, Dennis Johnson, crossed to Bird, who was following him...... Gan covers Bird's layup from behind! Gan got off Bird's layup! ”

Everything happened too fast, Gan Guoyang just received the ball on the left side and was about to hook and shoot, he is now feeling hot, and he has to hurry up and score more, but Bird has excellent awareness, made a judgment in advance, and knocked out Gan Guoyang's ball.

However, in the fast attack, Bird still took it lightly, and ate Gan Guoyang's big hat with a split head and face in the fast attack, and the person was knocked to the ground, but the referee did not blow the foul.

"Tell you, if I don't enter, you don't want to enter." Gan Guoyang looked at Bird who fell to the ground and said.
