The "Iceman" scored steadily and relentlessly in the second quarter, so the Trail Blazers were never able to pull the gap away.

Gan Guoyang finally began to carry the offensive banner of the Trail Blazers in the second half of the second quarter, and the Spurs immediately asked Gilmore to mark Gan Guoyang.

Gilmore's defense made Gan Guoyang quite uncomfortable, and his strong strength and height of 7-foot-2 kept Gan Guoyang in a state of being tightly surrounded.

But Sampson is different, Gan Guoyang has a huge amount of energy in the low post, which comes from his bug strength and solid skills.

Whether it's against George McGinnis or Darryl Dawkins – both of whom are strong interior players, Gilmore rarely feels like he can't stand up in the low post.

And tonight, when Gan Guoyang squeezed in a deep position, Gilmore felt a little untenable.

This kind of situation probably only comes when facing Moses Malone, but now in front of Gilmore is a Chinese rookie who doesn't look particularly athletic.

Gan Guoyang's secret about power is known only to him.

But he also never stopped training in the gym because he knew that these talents would not come out on their own, and that they would have to be trained consistently to really show off.

In strength training, Gan Guoyang pays special attention to the exercise of leg muscles, hip muscles, back muscles and abdominal muscles, or Gan Guoyang pays the most attention to the training of lower limb strength and core strength.

The training of lower body strength gives him a stable chassis, which allows him to stand in a rock-solid position in attack or defense.

The practice of core strength allows Gan Guoyang to have strong endurance and endurance in non-explosive strength confrontations, which allows him to push all the way through the low position like a small bulldozer.

If you change to the "locomotive" at the peak of the seventies, it is not a big problem to deal with a small bulldozer, but now that he is 35 years old, his weight has become larger, his real strength is smaller, and his muscles have begun to gradually decline.

Gan Guoyang took the ball and chiseled it all the way in the low post, scored 7 points in a row, and made a foul on Gilmore.

When Gan Guoyang took the ball again in the low post, turned over and shook Gilmore in a feint, stepped under the basket, and poured the basket with one hand with his left hand, the timer on the court sounded along with the shouts of the fans, and the first half of the game ended.

The Trail Blazers, under the leadership of Gan Guoyang, dominated the court in the second quarter, although Gervin's offense could not be stopped, but the Spurs could not resist the offensive tide of the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 4 points at 61:57 in the first half.

At half-time, Ramsey focused on how to keep track of George Gervin, and Ramsey's solution was to stick to Gervin and not let Gervin receive the ball.

The task was given to Valentin, leaving him misplaced to defend Gervin, and then Paxson could focus more on offense.

However, as the second half began, Ramsey found that his elaboration and worries seemed unwarranted, as the Spurs began to crumble in the third quarter.

The key difference between a strong team and an ordinary team is not the average points scored and conceded per game, nor the strength of the lineup on paper, but the ability to adjust in the face of unexpected situations.

For example, the Trail Blazers at this time are already a strong team, and they can make timely adjustments and get better results when they are faced with a bad shooting touch and unfavorable defense of the arrows.

This shows the potential of the team and the ability to execute the tactics, which is the key to a team being able to control the current situation on the ever-changing basketball court.

And this season's Spurs no longer have the characteristics of clear division of labor, strong tactical execution, and tenacity two years ago.

The back-to-back defeats have worn down the will of the core players, and injuries have plagued them as the years go by, but they can still win games if the game goes on a familiar track.

But if the situation changes, or if you suddenly find yourself in a disadvantageous position, this Spurs will not be able to turn things around.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' offense was still fierce, while the Spurs themselves fell into a cold situation, which is a normal low tide period for a team, but the Spurs can't survive this low tide.

Their "life-saving" defense of the middle and flanks finally completely collapsed under the internal and external impact of the Trail Blazers, and the defensively liberated Paxson began to practice his hair, Vanderwicki's hand recovered, and Sampson could still score efficiently in the low post.

It was Gan Guoyang who continued to do auxiliary work in obscurity, but saw that the score difference between the two sides was getting wider and wider, and the game was almost about to lose suspense.

George Gervin was still holding on, and Gilmore was still able to score a few goals under the basket, but the Spurs were generally in a state of collapse.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on a 31-12 offensive shockwave to knock the Spurs to the ground, and then stomped on them a few times.

Ramsey can finally sit down with peace of mind, watching the Spurs who have been high in the past few seasons be beaten like this by the Trail Blazers, Ramsey is also concerned.

In the NBA, whether it is a player or a team, there is often no strong team that will always prosper forever, nor a bad team that has always been lonely at the bottom.

The Spurs' glory since the late '70s in the NBA is finally coming to an end in the mid-'80s, and Ramsey feels that the glory of the Trail Blazers is just beginning.

The fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time, with both sides sending off the bench and rookies to kill the rest of the time.

The fans at the Memorial Stadium finally let go of the big stone in their hearts and began to celebrate the victory in advance.

Gan Guoyang, who scored 13 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, only scored 4 points in the second half, but grabbed 10 rebounds, and he was also replaced early and began to rest with the main treatment.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Gan Guoyang took the initiative to go on the field and shook hands with Gilmore and hugged him.

In this game, Gan Guoyang rarely did not spew trash talk, of course, this does not mean that he is "good", but because in the face of a player like Gilmore, he really can't spew.

Although Gilmore is fierce and tough in defense, his movements are all regular, he does not make excessive small movements, and he will not spray at the opponent.

On the contrary, when an opposing player falls, Gilmore will take the initiative to help the opponent up, and then pat the opponent in a friendly manner.

Gan Guoyang has always eaten soft rather than hard, and the more the opponent competes with him, the more energetic he becomes; On the contrary, for an old-timer like Gilmore who plays in a proper manner, Gan Guoyang still has a little guilt in his heart every time he scores a goal.

"Good luck and I'm sure you'll be the best center in this league. I'm old, but the next game will be a test for you. Gilmore said to Gan Guoyang, patted Gan Guoyang on the shoulder, and then slowly walked back to the locker room.

Gan Guoyang looked at Gilmore's tall back and remembered what Chamberlain once said to him, the giants of the NBA are all lonely Goliath, and no one likes Goliath.

"At this time, Gilmore must be a little lonely." Although Gan Guoyang doesn't know much about Gilmore, he can feel from this game that this is a good player with outstanding talent and conscientiousness.

In his career, he didn't even get an NBA championship ring, which has to be said to be a big pity.

"I wonder if I can change his fate after I arrive?" Gan Guoyang thought about this question again, but after thinking about it, whether he could win the championship or not was not yet a shadow, and he still had time to take care of others.

Besides, every NBA star wants the championship ring in his hand to be earned by his own sweat, rather than being chared by others.

Next, Gan Guoyang gave a routine interview to reporters in the locker room to express his thoughts on the game.

"Our team's offense was fantastic and I was thoroughly integrated into it as a part of this machine. In the past, I may have been missing something, such as lubricating oil, and the bite with other parts was not very smooth; Now I feel like I'm trying to make a difference, and I feel great, and it's definitely encouraging for all of us to have a big win. Gan Guoyang answered the reporter's boring questions with a blank face, although he can use various rhetoric to express his feelings every time, but in the final analysis, what he says is.

is often the safest word, and if you want to say something maverick, you will often get into big trouble.

At this time, Gan Guoyang wanted to be a good child, so it was not easy for him to say anything newsworthy.

"What do you think about the next game? Do you have enough confidence in yourself? The reporter continued to ask with a camera and a small notebook.

The reporter's question made Gan Guoyang's mind a little confused, next? Gan has never been in the habit of looking at the schedule in advance, and he likes to keep it mysterious.

Gan Guoyang suddenly thought that Gilmore also told him just now, "But the next one will be a test for you," Gan Guoyang didn't care too much, but he didn't know who he was going to face next.

"I don't know, I don't know who I'm going to face next, for me, it's the same for everyone." Gan Guoyang said indifferently, anyway, Ramsey will arrange tactics at the pre-game preparation meeting.

The reporter who asked the question was eye-catching, Gan Guoyang's sentence is a good subject to play by using the topic!

Although Gan Guoyang means that he really doesn't know who he will fight in the next game, anyway, when the time comes, it will be just a regular season.

But what reporters are good at is "going up if there are difficulties, and creating difficulties if there are no difficulties", Gan Guoyang's words, if twisted slightly, will become "I don't care who the opponent is, whoever comes, I will him" This arrogant and domineering feeling.

Gan Guoyang, who has suffered losses, still doesn't know the depths, and with the way of reporters, it seems that in the next game, the saliva before the game is indispensable, and it is naturally the media that benefits from it.

After the reporter's interview, Gan Guoyang was finally able to completely relax, take a good bath, and go to the bath pool to do a physiotherapy for his muscles.

"Hey, Clyde, who are we going to fight in the next fight?" Gan Guoyang sat in the stainless steel bath and relaxed, and when he saw Drexler soaking his feet in the ice, he asked.

"You guy, don't you ever look at the schedule?" Drexler was speechless about Gan Guoyang's habit.

"Yes, I only care about whether it will rain tomorrow and I don't worry about who I'm going to play against. Whether it will rain or not is in God's hands, and who I play with and how to win them is in my own hands, so I don't have to worry about it. "Gan Guoyang always has a set of fallacies to support his behavior pattern.

"Well, then let me tell you, the next game is the one I've been waiting for a long time, and I've been ready for this game for a long time." Drexler said as he pulled his foot out of the bucket full of ice.

He has to do this every day after training and games to reduce his chance of injury, after all, a fast and high jumper like him is very easy to get injured.

Gan Guoyang was stunned when he heard this, Drexler's long-awaited game? It's only been a year since he entered the NBA, is there already some mortal enemy who doesn't share the sky?

Gan Guoyang thought of Ranbier, and his heart couldn't help but be on fire, but he suddenly looked forward to the game with the Pistons.

"The day after tomorrow, the Houston Rockets will be visiting, I don't know if you're ready." Drexler named a team that Gan Guoyang is all too familiar with - the Houston Rockets.

As a Chinese plus basketball fan from the 21st century, it is impossible not to know the Houston Rockets.

Especially Gan Guoyang, Yao Ming, who made him fall in love with basketball back then, is the center of the Houston Rockets.

Until Yao Ming retired, Gan Guoyang was a fan of the Rockets, and on the day Yao Ming retired, Gan Guoyang also traveled to 1981.

Even so, Gan Guoyang still has a different feeling for the Houston Rockets, after coming to the United States, he watched the game the most, in addition to the Lakers and Warriors, it was the Houston Rockets who still had Moses Malone at that time.

At that time, when the Rockets visited Oakland, Gan Guoyang went to watch it and felt the power of Moses Malone on the spot.

After Malone transferred to the 76ers, Gan Guoyang also happened to be obsessed with college basketball and paid less attention to the NBA.

After he entered the NBA, Gan Guoyang was so close to the Houston Rockets, but the Rockets, who held the top pick, still skipped Gan Guoyang and chose another center.

Gan Guoyang's subordinate defeated - Akim Olajuwon.

In this regard, Olajuwon's former teammate Drexler is also angry, if the Rockets pick Gan Guoyang, then the Trail Blazers will definitely take Olajuwon, so that Drexler can be teammates with his good friend Olajuwon again.

Now it seems that it will take more than a decade for this wish to be realized - if history is not changed.

And Gan Guoyang also looks like a very good partner, in some ways, he is more talented than Olajuwon, although in others he is not as good as Akim.

It's just that Gan Guoyang will face more than one Olajuwon in the next game.
