At halftime, the entire Trail Blazers locker room was the only voice Adelman, who was unhappy with the players' performance in the first half, but he also admitted that tactically the Trail Blazers were not very well prepared.

In Sabonis's absence, Duckworth's advantage was not waved in the first half of the game, but the disadvantage was wiped out by the Suns.

Because of the lack of a strong inside response and passing point, the offensive routine of the Trailblazers has become relatively single, and the fluency of the positional attack has declined, at this time, it is more dependent on Gan Guoyang's single scoring on the inside, but Gan Guoyang's state in the first half of this game is really not good.

At the same time, Duckworth does not have Sabonis's one-pass ability, and when he gets a rebound in the backcourt, it is difficult to directly move fast counterattacks, which also makes the Trail Blazers' best fast break only swing fifty percent.

The advantage of this lineup is defense, Duckworth is better than Sabonis in single defense and assistant defense, and more importantly, with Duckworth, Gan Guoyang's outside pressing defense can be more unscrupulous, but the Suns' offensive tactics today are quite good, and the functions of Kevin Johnson, Tom Chambers and Hornacek are well distributed, Mark West and Corbyn, and Eddie Johnson on the bench have a good swing, The Trailblazers were able to keep the score gap within 2o points, which was already considered a high incense.

Adelman said a thousand things in the locker room, and he also knew in his heart that the most important thing is to see whether Gan Guoyang's state can recover, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to win when such a key point on the inside line is so passive at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the opponent's state is so good.

And Gan Guoyang sat there without saying a word, he was also trying to reflect on himself, in the first half he had a feeling that he couldn't make it hard, especially after the offensive end was blocked, even with the defensive end he began to be a little impatient, which is obviously not a good phenomenon.

'We completely lost our rhythm and look at our performances, singles, mistakes, misses, a lot of small mistakes that shouldn't have been made, and it adds up to the situation we are in. The first thing we have to do in the second half is to reduce mistakes, reduce mistakes, reduce mistakes! Adelman said three times in a row to reduce turnovers, because the number of mistakes of the Trail Blazers in the first half was an astonishing 15, due to the psychological impatience of the score behind, resulting in players eager to use fast breaks to score points, the result is a large number of mistakes by the team, not only did not get the points back, but gave the opponent a chance to counterattack, and the point difference further expanded.

Adelman believes that the team's problem is not in the tactics, but in the mentality, compared with the last two games, the Trail Blazers' tactics have not changed, although the Suns have made adjustments, but the players are still those people, there will be no huge changes, in the end it is the mentality that has changed.

Five consecutive games of easy sweep of the opponent, so that the Trail Blazers relaxed psychologically, feeling that a team like the Suns without defense casually played is estimated to be a 4:o sweep, how do you know that the Suns burst out of huge energy at home, and the core of the Trail Blazers is stuck in a quagmire again, and it is strange not to lag behind.

The second half of the game started immediately, and the players were about to return to the court to start the second half of the game, and it was Gan Guoyang who stood up first, walked to the center of the locker room and said to everyone: "I want to go home, but I prefer that the next time we stand in the Memorial Stadium, it will be in the Western Conference Finals." Absolutely, absolutely do not give the enemy any chance, to give the enemy a chance is to dig a grave for yourself, and we have to chase it back point by point, because we are the best in history! ”

After saying that, Gan Guoyang raised his hand high, and the others also stood up, gathered around Gan Guoyang, and put their hands on Gan Guoyang's hand.

“net！ B1azers！ ”

……………………

If a team wants to win, it is of course useless to just shout slogans, in this backward adversity, I don't know how many teams shouted cheering slogans in the hope of turning the tables, but where is the hole they dug is so easy to fill.

The second half of the game was soon underway, and back on the court, the Suns fans were waving their white towels again, and the atmosphere here was no worse than that of Portland.

"The second half of the game is about to begin, and the Suns have a 19-point lead, and they completely suppressed the Trail Blazers in the first half, with a fluid offense and a fighting spirit, while the Blazers are constantly making turnovers, turnovers, and turnovers, and they have too many turnovers. And Gan scored just six points in the entire first half, perhaps his worst first half of the season. Don Patrick didn't show mercy to Gan because he was a shareholder of ESPN, because Gan Guoyang's performance was really poor, and the only thing that is commendable is that his mistakes are still well controlled.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers were still Duckworth, their tactics did not change, Adelman firmly believes that it is very taboo to change the overall tactical idea at will in a game, and there is no big problem with their tactics in this game, the problem is in the mentality of the players.

But the process that started in the second half made Adelman realise that there was something wrong with the team's mentality, but perhaps the team's tactical set-up was the bigger problem.

Potter passes the ball to Cosey, who gets caught in the trap and Cosey tries to pass the ball to Gan, but ...... It's a mess, the ball is out of bounds! ”

In the first round, Potter transitioned the ball to Cauchy, Cauchy wanted to pass the ball to Gan Guoyang at 45 degrees, Gan Guoyang was in the right position, but the sun did not wrap Gan Guoyang, but directly wrapped Cauchy, Cauchy threw the ball to Gan Guoyang in a panic, the ball was not in place, Gan Guoyang and West squeezed together, and Hornacek on the side also rushed over to grab the ball, but a single person rushed out of the bottom line with the ball, and the individual who hit the horse turned over.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle, hesitated, communicated with another referee, and blew the ball for the Suns.

Gan Guoyang is also very helpless, Hornacek is too exchanged, he is not rushing to the ball at all, but to people, and Gan Guoyang is squeezed and unable to catch the ball, but the ball is out of bounds, and he Gan Guoyang touched it.

This one looks honest, and it really can't be underestimated at all, and Stockton has the same virtue.

Hornacek had just succeeded in disrupting on the defensive end and immediately made another contribution on the offensive end.

After the throw-in, Hornacek took the ball and advanced quickly, not giving the Trail Blazers a chance to return to the defensive position at all, and passed the ball directly to Tom Chambers on the right side, Chambers wanted to break through with the ball, but Gan Guoyang blocked in front of him, he immediately had a weak leg and passed the ball to Corbyn who was inserted from behind, Corbyn took the ball and jumped directly, but did not score, as a result, Hornacek did not know where to come out of nowhere, and actually picked up a frontcourt rebound.

Hornacek didn't make a layup, he knew that Gan Guoyang had returned, and the layup must be hatted, so he passed to West, who slid to the left baseline, and West received the ball on the baseline and hit a fixed-point jumper at the 12-foot position.

"This cunning fellow!" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart, in nBa Gan Guoyang has always been not afraid of those big old thick muscles, anyway, he is invincible in terms of strength, and he is not afraid of anyone, but old fritters like Hornacek have always been Gan Guoyang's most hated type, thinking that when he was a rookie, he was made miserable by such an old fritter insider.

There is also Stockton of the same type, but the key is that he and Stockton are old teammates and are quite familiar with his ball style, so Gan Guoyang is very good at targeting Stockton, and although Hornacek, who looks more honest and innocent, has only entered the third year of the NBA, he is really an old fox and has a good control of the situation of the game, Kevin Johnson is just an assaulter, and Hornacek is really a big general who manages the situation on the court.

The game quickly returned to the first half, but the Trail Blazers made fewer mistakes, and Gan Guoyang's touch began to recover.

However, the Trail Blazers' own offense is normal, but they can't prevent the Suns' offense, and the defense of the first two games has been cracked by the Suns, and the Suns players have completely let go of their psychological shackles and let go of their hand play, showing the strength of the league's second offensive power, and the point difference has been maintained at 15 points.

At the end of the third quarter, Adelman finally couldn't sit still, he pointed to the bench and said, "Get ready to play, replace Duckworth." ”

"Mark West is fouled on defense and is about to go to the free throw line...... Trail Blazers substitution, Adelman, Adelman for Jim Paxson, Kevin Duckworth, other moves? No, they replaced their center and replaced a shooting guard, and the Trail Blazers are going to play big and four! ”
