"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew.

"Wilkes' blocking foul, Wilkes didn't perform well on both ends of the floor today." Zike Hearn said with some regret as Wilkes watched Wilkes block a foul as he delayed Vanderwicki's half-time advance with the ball.

Zike Hearn once called Wilkes' shot a "20-foot layup" and nicknamed him "Silk" to praise his soft, silky shot.

And the hero of the Lakers' two-time championship, a veteran of ten years, finally couldn't resist the invasion of the years, his steps on the court became heavier and heavier, and it took longer and longer to get into the state.

Pat Riley, who was on the sidelines, apparently didn't want to see Wilkes on the court again, so he brought Worthy on the pitch and brought Wilkes off for him to adjust.

"The Lakers made a personnel change, and Worthy came on. The Trail Blazers serve, Paxson holds the ball, passes the ball...... The ball smashed into Cooper's foot and went out of bounds. ”

Perhaps the two sides had played too fast and fiercely before, and the game suddenly slowed down and was shattered by fouls and mistakes.

The Trail Blazers re-served, and this time it was Paxson who caught the ball on the left side and cut straight to the basket at a 45-degree angle and made a nice pick-and-roll with Kenny Carr.

After the pick-and-roll, both Lakers players went to trap Paxson, who was walking to the baseline, and Paxson made a ground-hitting pass, and the ball passed between the two Lakers players and into the hands of Kenny Carr.

Facing Bob McAdoo under the basket, Kenny Carr even jumped up and dunked directly!

"Carl, jump, dunk! The ball didn't score...... He was ruined by McAdoo, but McAdoo fouled his hand, and he had two consecutive fouls since coming up in the second quarter, both to prevent the opponent's dunk. ”

Kenny Carr apparently headed the ball towards the basket with all his might, so the ball was destroyed and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

If it was a foul by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then Abdul-Jabbar would have definitely picked up Kenny Carr, who has always been so friendly, which is one of the reasons why he is so respected in the league.

But McAdoo is not a gentleman like Abdul-Jabbar, anyway, the foul was committed, and the referee blew it, so he patted his ass and left.

The former regular-season MVP has been on the bench from one of the league's hottest superstars to a giant over the years, but his temper hasn't been smoothed out by these experiences, instead he's as stubborn and irascible as he was when he was younger.

The Trail Blazers players were obviously very upset with the continuous dunking on his head, so he just put a foul on him, sent the opponent to the free throw line, and couldn't let the Trail Blazers players dunk the ball in.

Kenny Karl stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws.

"It's the same as I dunked in, no, you paid a foul." Carl said to McAdoo after scoring the free throw, meaning of course that McAdoo "lost his wife and lost his soldiers".

"Shut up idiot." McAdoo is a role player like the lazy Richard, even though he's a role player now.

However, the Lakers immediately returned the favor, Cooper dribbled the ball past half court and handed the ball to the Magic, and then Cooper went straight down to the right low post to make a cover for Worthy.

Worthy was originally on the right baseline, and when Cooper came over, he relied on Cooper's block to go around in a circle and cut into the three-second zone from the outside.

The Magic passed the ball to the running Worthy, who went straight to the basket with the ball.

"Worthy layup...... Wow! Sampson covered the ball...... No, the referee blew the whistle and interfered with the ball. ”

Worthy threw a cricket ball, and after hitting the rebound, the ball was covered by Sampson, and the ball was ruled to interfere with the ball, and the ball was scored.

For such cooperation, the Trailblazers really have nothing to do, too fast, too tacit. And Sampson has done his best, and if he can go any faster, the ball will be a good one.

"Steady, we need a success rate, we need to bite the score!" Ramsey commanded from the sidelines.

Now the game has entered a period of stability, both sides can score, the defensive intensity is not large, it is to compare the ability of both sides to continue to increase points, which requires a stable offensive routine and excellent finishers.

The Trail Blazers are not bad at this, they need to stabilize the margin and then try to catch up once the main force is all up.

Colt dribbled slowly past half court, and Sampson stepped up to respond, and he took the ball to the 20-foot position for a long time, and found that there was no one within a two-metre radius, and his teammates did not have a good chance.

The Lakers are putting inside shots to stop the Trail Blazers' attack on the basket, so as to reduce the Trail Blazers' offensive efficiency.

But Sampson is not a vegetarian, and when I see that the Lakers dare to let me go like this? Sampson's mid-range shot was no slouch, as he picked up and shot from the 20-foot position.

"Huh!" Ball hollow into the net!

Although this ball is not a dunk, it has undoubtedly given the Trail Blazers a great morale boost, and if the Lakers still want to put the Trail Blazers' inside shot, they will have to consider it.

On the Lakers' side, it is still a strategy to let Cooper control the ball, and let the Magic receive the ball after half court, because the Magic is in a no-ball state at this time, and you can't let the off-ball Magic run around on the court, someone has to keep an eye on him.

In this way, the Trailblazers' defensive tactics of locking up others and letting the magicians attack were cracked at once.

However, the Magic did not become the finisher after running without the ball, and the Lakers still hit the ball inside.

McAdoo asked for the ball in the low post on the left side, and a hand-to-hand battle ensued between him and Kenny Carr in the low post.

Kenny Carr knew that McAdoo's turnaround jumper was extremely accurate, and once he was allowed to receive the ball easily in such a position, the shooting percentage was very high.

So he desperately tried to stop McAdoo from catching the ball.

If Gan Guoyang is bypassed, Gan Guoyang must die and have to get the position back, but McAdoo is much more experienced, he pretended to work hard to grab the position, but suddenly a reverse run went straight to the basket.

Cooper hoisted the ball in just right, and McAdoo blocked Sampson, who came to grab the ball, and took the ball down in the air.

Then, McAdoo used another feint to trick Kenny Carr, who was keeping up with the defense, and scored an easy layup.

"Bob ~ McAdoo~" The DJ at the scene shouted McAdoo's name, accompanied by a cheer from the fans.

"This nasty guy, I really want to play and teach him a lesson." Gan Guoyang was already sitting on the sidelines, and the conflict between him and McAdoo began at training camp in Palm Springs.

But unlike Mitchell Sampson, Sampson is Gan's teammate, while McAdoo is a real opponent, so he doesn't have to worry about the relationship between the two.

However, the Trail Blazers' offense didn't have a problem, and Sampson continued to hit the Lakers with his mid-range shot.

He's in the same position for his teammates, only this time he's with his back to the basket, and Paxson is in front of him trying to use Sampson's cover to get rid of the annoying Cooper.

But Cooper haunted Paxson like a spider with a web, and Paxson could only pass the ball to Sampson for a transition.

Sampson took the ball and turned his back to face the basket, trying to see where his teammates were.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that there was no one within two meters in front of him! The Lakers players shrank back inside to jam the Trail Blazers' interspersed running routes.

Sampson didn't have the slightest reason and immediately shot a jumper after turning.

"Huh!" The ball is in again!

“Beautifu！ (Pretty!) Gan Guoyang couldn't help but jump when he saw Sampson's goal, although this goal was just an ordinary mid-range shot, but there was no doubt that such a goal was a blow to the Lakers' defensive confidence.

"Beep!" Sure enough, Pat Riley called a timeout, he needed to make some adjustments, and although the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning of the second quarter, it was not Riley's satisfaction, and his plan to quickly drag the Trail Blazers to death did not materialize.

He was expecting to shrink the defense line to force the Trail Blazers to shoot, and then grab rebounds to counterattack, but they didn't expect the Trail Blazers to warm up in the second quarter, especially Sampson, who made consecutive mid-range shots, which hurt Riley very much.

'It's good, but feel isn't something to rely on, we still need tactics, we need better running. I think they're going to keep coming back after the timeout, and we're going to have to hold on on both ends of the floor and try to keep the gap as tight as possible before the end of the second quarter. Ramsey wasn't expecting to turn the game around all at once, but at least the Trail Blazers are picking up right now.

At the same time, Ramsey also understands the style of the Lakers, the Lakers are a boxer who can make heavy punches in a row, even if these heavy punches do not hit the vital point, and the opponent is not fatal by one blow, but the game has been bombarded with heavy punches for more than ten rounds in a row, and in the end it will always fall because it can't be supported.

Many teams can still have back and forth in front of the Lakers in the game, and they can play well, but at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, the players have run out of energy, and they are dragged down by the Lakers.

"At the end of the timeout, Gan came back on the court and replaced Mitchell Sampson, I don't know if Gan can throw a 20-foot mid-range, I think he will probably go straight to the hook." Zike Hearn didn't forget to tease when he saw Gan Guoyang back on the court.

After a few minutes of rest, Gan Guoyang immediately became energetic again, and he saw that Abdul-Jabbar was also back on the court, while McAdoo was still there, and Rambis was replaced.

“Hello-Bob。 (Hello, Bob)" Gan Guoyang looked at McAdoo and said lightly.

McAdoo glanced at the rookie center, and there was fire in his head again, and Gan Guoyang's faint cold expression made him feel that this guy was provocative.

McAdoo ignored Gan and focused on the game.

The Lakers served from the sideline, and McAdoo ran out of the three-second zone to catch the ball on the left baseline.

Kenny Carr didn't quite keep up with McAdoo due to Abdul-Jabbar's blockade on the inside, and the entire baseline became an empty hallway.

McAdoo broke through with the ball and went all the way from the baseline to the basket.

If he was 10 years younger, he would definitely end the offense with a reflexive dunk, but now after slamming into the basket, he feels a little lacking.

This is a sign of declining physical function, so he can only change the dunk to a layup, Kenny Carr did not follow, and Gan Guoyang seems to be staring at Abdul-Jabbar without making up the defense.

However, McAdoo is 34 years old, and Gan Guoyang is only in his early 20s, which is the peak of his physical fitness.

McAdoo drives to layup and gets Gangay out! Ball out of bounds...... The Trail Blazers won possession ......"

Gan Guoyang just waited for McAdoo to do this, he took one step and two steps, stretched out his long arm, and then a little on the ball, the ball was knocked off, there was no foul at all, it felt like he took the ball off McAdoo's hand lightly.

After the ball fell, it smashed into McAdoo's foot and went out of bounds, and the ball returned to the Trail Blazers.

"A smart block, Gan added a big lock to the Trail Blazers' interior as soon as he got on the court." Gan Guoyang's improvement in the quality of the Trail Blazers' interior defense after coming on the court is obvious.

“One-Shoot！ One-Shoot！ (Score one!) Score one! Ramsey was still shouting on the sidelines, and it looked like even if all the Trail Blazers players were tired, the coach's voice wouldn't be tired.

Ramsey will hope that the team can take advantage of this opportunity and score a good goal.

Just now, you and I went in on both sides, so the score difference has remained unchanged.

Now that we have finally defended one, if we can score this goal, the momentum of both sides will show signs of turning.

Gan Guoyang inherited Sampson's position and continued to respond high in the arc.

And the Lakers, as just now, insisted on putting the Trailblazers' inside line two meters away.

Gan Guoyang would really like to throw one into it like Sampson, so that he can deal a bigger blow to the Lakers.

But Gan Guoyang's mid-range shooting has not yet been practiced, and Gan Guoyang is not sure of shooting in this position in the game.

He still transferred the ball to Colter, who received the ball on the left perimeter and then went straight inside!

Colter is also a young and strong point guard, he is the shortest but fastest in the game, and he rushed into the heart of the Lakers in one fell swoop.

However, the Lakers' shrinking defense was just waiting for him, and he quickly fell under the basket and couldn't make a shot.

“Pass！ Pass！ Gan Guoyang shouted as he rushed towards the inside line.

Colter found a gap and passed the ball out, but the Lakers players squeezed nearby, rubbed the ball, and the basket immediately messed up.

Gan Guoyang, this guy, is also a master of chaos, this guy just reacts quickly, when he saw that the ball was about to be lost, he immediately bent down and relied on his long arms and big hands to scoop up the ball.

But in front of him stood in front of three Lakers players, including the mountain-like Abdul-Jabbar.

But Gan Guoyang was not afraid, and rushed up to the Lakers' inside line and went straight to the basket.

"Bang!" The ball hit the rebound but didn't go in, and it didn't even touch the basket.

However, after Gan Guoyang threw the ball, he buried his head and rushed inside, and this shot became a pass instead, and Gan Guoyang won the frontcourt rebound in front of the two old men, Abdul-Jabbar and McAdoo.

"Gan, shake it for a moment, turn to the left side of the basket, and reflexively dunk with one hand!"

Gan Guoyang dodged McAdoo and Abdul-Jabbar's block, and with a beautiful footmove turned to the other side of the basket, reflexively splitting with one hand!

The Trail Blazers players finally dunked the ball in, and they narrowed the margin to four points.
