"Shrink the defense, don't give Owen a chance, let them shoot!"

Ramsey shouted succinctly at the timeout that the best way to deal with Irving is not to wrap up, not to be close, not to press, but to shrink the whole team. (The fastest update speed can be found by remembering it)

For Dr. J Irving, shooting is his biggest weakness, at a distance of about 15 feet, Dr. J's shooting belongs to the six-vein sword, and he is not always smart, and there is a certain threat when he is not allowed to get up, and before he can shoot, the two sides began to prepare to grab rebounds.

In contrast, once Dr. J gets within 15 feet, especially in the three-second zone, his threat to the basket skyrockets, and no matter how you defend, Irving always has a way to get the ball in.

Moreover, Ramsey also hopes that the team can better protect the backcourt rebounding, he knows that Moses Malone will return to the court after this timeout, and once the monster does not take advantage of the opportunity, he will continue to use the frontcourt rebounding to destroy the opponent's defensive confidence.

"The game between the two sides continued, and the 76ers' offense began to pick up with Dr. J's consecutive goals, and of course, more importantly, their defensive intensity began to improve, which made it impossible for the Trail Blazers to attack as efficiently and easily as in the first quarter, and also gave the 76ers more opportunities to counterattack."

"That's right, although the current 76ers no longer have the same high-intensity defense as they did in 1983, but in a short period of time, they can still sacrifice such high-intensity confrontations to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, and obviously the Trail Blazers need to make some adjustments."

Ramsey did make a change, bringing on Gan Guoyang and Van der Veric, replacing Mitchell Sampson and Jerome Cosey in the hope of increasing the attacking and defensive intensity on the pitch.

The 76ers also brought on Moses Malone and Maurice Cheeks to further strengthen their counter-attacking momentum.

But the Trail Blazers' first offense after the timeout was wrong, Colter dribbled on the right sideline and then passed the ball to Jerome Cauchy to make a transition, only to have his feet slip and his hand just touched the ball, and he himself fell to his knees.

"The Trail Blazers missed, Cheeks got the ball, and the 76ers launched a counterattack again! Dr. J takes the ball and rushes forward with the ball...... The ball dropped...... There was chaos under the basket, Barkley got the ball, shot, hit the board and went to the basket! ”

The 76ers' counterattack can be described as a mess, originally Irving should have rushed straight to the basket after getting the ball, and then gave the Trail Blazers a slam dunk again.

But Gan Guoyang followed Owen all the way, and when Owen was ready, he quickly took out a shot and hit the ball with his hand.

Under the influence of the strength of Owen and Gan Guoyang, the basketball flew directly to a high place and smashed on the rebound at once.

The rebounding basketball just fell into Barkley's hand, and after some ground scuffle, Barkley once again firmly clamped the basketball with both hands, and then pouted his butt one by one, pulled it up and shot directly, and the ball went in.

"Dead fat, it's really good to grab the ball on the floor." Gan Guoyang took the ball back to the baseline and prepared to serve, while scolding in his heart.

Barkley is not tall and is easy to suffer on the inside, but once he grabs the floor ball, his guard-like height comes into play, and the other inside waist has not bent down, this guy is already facing the ground.

In addition, this guy's ass is really big, bend down, and the back is basically 120 degrees away from the back, and whoever wants to pull out his balls from behind may not be able to reach it.

With the goal, the 76ers closed the gap to four points, and the Trail Blazers scored two points after the start of the second quarter thanks to a dunk from Drexler.

"The 76ers played an 8-2 small **, which is a huge pressure for the Trail Blazers, because the 76ers are very strong on the counterattack, and if they can't score, then the 76ers will have to rely on counterattacks to tie the score."

"Yes, the 76ers' ability to quickly counterattack has made the Lakers and Celtics unbearable, and although the Trail Blazers' defense speed is very fast, it is still very difficult to block Irving's fast attack."

"Let's take a look at the Trail Blazers' response, where Drexler was holding the ball from outside the left three-point line, and he passed the ball to Colter and cut inside...... Van de Veric holds the ball and stuffs it into Gan on the inside! Gan shook a little, and made a layup! Ball in! Fouls, and a penalty! ”

"Yes!" Gan Guoyang clenched his fists and yelled after the ball was scored!

This is a different tactical run from the first quarter, where Gan stays on the weak side, which is the position on the right baseline, which is not his area of attack.

After passing the ball to Colt, Drexler immediately cut inside to attract the defense, and Colter turned the ball to Van Dewy, who added Drexler's position.

At this point, Gan immediately slipped to the bottom line and cut in, and then relied on the cover provided by Drexler in the low post to get rid of Moses Malone's defense and get the ball in a very good position.

Gan Guoyang did not turn directly to the basket after taking the ball, but made a false shake, and then when Barkley was still in the air, he forced a layup against Barkley, which not only scored the ball, but also caused Barkley's foul.

"Gan's free throw...... The ball didn't score, the 76ers got the rebound, and the difference between the two sides came to 6 points. Gan Guoyang made two fouls today, both of which were smashed by the fat man Barkley, which undoubtedly affected his free throw feel.

The Trail Blazers continued to defend the entire court, sending Colt and Drexler to the front court to press Cheeks.

But Cheeks, who was experienced enough to be unaffected by the sudden pressing defence, calmly passed the ball to Owen, who came to receive him, and Owen quickly advanced across the half-court and passed the ball to Barkley at the top of the arc.

The Trail Blazers clearly made a big mistake and shouldn't have given up defending at the top of the arc for the sake of full-court pressing, with Barkley already at the free-throw line.

This position can be said to be the most difficult position to defend in the half, it is located in the middle of the half, and it is also very close to the basket, and the average player in this position is very accurate in shooting.

At the same time, this is the best position to pass the ball, you can pass forward, backward, left and right, and putting a player in this position is obviously a defensive mistake.

Sure enough, Kenny Karl wanted to go up to make up for the defense too late, Barkley made a ground-hitting pass straight to the inside, Moses Malone brushed Gan Guoyang, and after receiving the ball, he put both hands into the basket to score two points.

Gan Guoyang is also okay with this ball, he must block the route under the basket, if he chooses to keep an eye on Malone, then Barkley can pass Kenny Carr in one step, and then rush in and dunk directly.

"Formation, we need to protect the formation! And our free-throw line, how can we let that dead fat guy in? Gan Guoyang shouted loudly.

On the defensive side of the team, Ramsey has always valued Gan Guoyang, and at the same time gave him the power to direct the team's defense.

"The 76ers stretched their formation very wide, which made the Trail Blazers a little uncomfortable because they wanted to shrink the defense." Commentator Crouch said after watching the offense and defense.

Indeed, 76ers head coach Cunningham also expected that the Trail Blazers were likely to shrink the defense, so he asked his players to be as fast as possible during the timeout, attacking before the opponent's defensive formation came out, and at the same time pulling the formation away, so that the Trail Blazers' players did not dare to shrink too presumptuously.

"Yes, but we also have to look at the Trail Blazers' offense to see if they can maintain their advantage in the positional attack, and such a quick counterattack is obviously very uncomfortable for the Trail Blazers."

The Trail Blazers continued their tactical routine, this time Gan Guoyang mentioned the top of the arc to play the ball, and Colter was circling around Gan Guoyang in an attempt to get rid of Cheeks' entanglement.

On the other side, Van der Vercic had already made a beautiful reverse run from the inside out, running straight to the left corner.

Gan Guoyang immediately passed the ball to Van Dewig, and Van Dewig opened his hand to shoot after receiving the ball!

"Vanderwicki's shot, the ball hit the front of the basket and didn't go in...... A group of people...... Oh! Gan's deduction! Where did he come from? ”

The fans at the scene were estimated to be as surprised as the commentators, where did Gan Guoyang come from?

Vanderwicki's ball hit the front of the basket, and instead of bounceing wide, it hit the basket and fell straight down.

The rest of the Trail Blazers players are ready to retreat, they have never grabbed frontcourt rebounds, and three 76ers players wearing red sè jerseys stood under the basket in an instant, and this rebound is already in their pockets.

But Gan Guoyang was like a civet cat, suddenly got into the gap on the right side, and then jumped up in a bunch of 76ers players, gently dunked the ball into the basket in the air, and after landing, he quickly put into defense without any expression.

"Nice rebounds! Defend well, defend well! Ramsey, who was on the sidelines, applauded and yelled when he saw Gan Guoyang's performance.

In this game so far, in Ramsey's eyes, Gan Guoyang's performance can be described as perfect, with good strategy, defense in place, all the goals that should be scored are scored, and he also scores unexpected goals, and at the same time does not forget to retreat quickly after scoring a goal, instead of being like some rookies who are still immersed in the joy of scoring goals, and then turn around and be chased by the opponent immediately.

The difference between the two sides came to 6 points again, and the Trail Blazers relied on Gan Guoyang's play to stabilize the situation on the court, but the momentum of the 76ers' counterattack did not end.

Cheeks dribbled past half-court and passed the ball straight to Irving on the right and ran inside himself, and Irving's only threat from beyond the three-point line was his pass.

Cheeks swooped to the left baseline near the three-second zone with Barkley's screen, and it was empty with no Trail Blazers players.

Owen had already spotted Cheeks' cut down on the right and immediately a half-court pass was made to Cheeks.

But Colter didn't completely lose his defense, he struggled to squeeze past Barkley, and touched the ball at the moment when Cheeks received the ball, and although Cheeks got the ball, the rhythm of the offense had been interrupted, and he could have received the ball and shot directly.

If the tactics are destroyed, then come hard.

Moses Malone came around from the right side and directly resisted Gan Guoyang in the basket.

This game may be Gan Guoyang's most strenuous game, Moses Malone is in a very deep position on the edge of the three-second zone every time, and in other games, it is impossible for the average center to get the ball in this position, because he can't carry Gan Guoyang.

But Moses Malone can stand up to any center in the league, including Gan, who asked for the ball five feet from the basket on the left sideline, and Cheeks immediately handed it to him.

However, this game may also be the most difficult game for Moses Malone, and he did not expect Gan Guoyang, a yellow center who looks thinner than he was in his twenties, to have such strength.

In the general center, Moses Malone spreads his legs, pouts his ass and then lies back, and the opponent basically can't play any other functions except as his back chair.

But Gan Guoyang made him very difficult, so when he was about to make further moves after holding the ball, he found that he couldn't make any effort, because Gan Guoyang was already stuck in the space for Moses Malone to make moves.

But after all, Moses Malone is a king-level interior player who has been in the basketball world for more than ten years, and he knows how to deal with Gan Guoyang at this time.

Gan Guoyang was too focused, and as a result, he made the mistake that young players often make, that is, he was easy to shake.

Moses Malone raised his hand realistically, making Gan Guoyang fly all of a sudden.

Gan Guoyang knew that something was wrong as soon as he jumped, but it was too late, Moses Malone rubbed directly on him, and the referee's whistle immediately sounded.

"Defensive fouls, from the foul in the first minute of the first quarter to now, this is Gan's second personal foul, and it seems that he has a good control, but he still lacks some experience."

"That's right, as long as he gets stuck in this situation, Moses won't have much of a chance."

The experience of young players is accumulated under this experience of being played by veteran players, and then one day they become veteran players, and they can use this experience to play a new generation, which is a kind of NBA heritage.

However, at this time, Gan Guoyang will no longer think about what inheritance is not inherited, what he wants is to teach Ma Long a lesson in the internal competition.

Malone hit two free throws, and the 76ers narrowed the gap to four points, and the two sides began to enter a see-saw in the second quarter.

"It's a test for the Trail Blazers, and if they fall behind at this time, not only could the score be reversed, but more importantly, the momentum they built up in the first quarter would be worn out."

"Let's see if Gan will give any response...... Gan continues to respond in a high position...... Gan suddenly breaks through with the ball! Slam dunk! ”

"Bang!"

"Yay! ~~~”

"Gan suddenly broke through with the ball in the front, and went straight to the basket from the middle, the 76ers' interior line was obviously unguarded against this, they didn't expect Gan to suddenly attack, a beautiful left-handed split dunk, we seemed to see a big Irving, although he is from China, although he is yellow-skinned, although he does not explode head, although he is wearing No. 11, but who cares, he makes Portland crazy!"
