Chapter 181: Gan's Indignation

"Mistake! Gan's mistake, Channing fell to the ground to grab the ball and controlled the ball, he passed the ball to DJ, who transferred it to Bird on the left, and Bird faced the two-man package, turned and stepped back to make a jumper...... The ball is in! The ball is in! Overtake! Bird throws a comeback shot! 81:80! The Celtics overtook in the 6th minute of the third quarter! Bird's 20-foot jumper! Bird! ”

"What the fuck is going on?" Gan Guoyang watched Bird fire on the outside, as soon as the ball was shot, he knew that the ball was going to go in, Bird's hand was too hot, and Gan Guoyang himself was still confused about the mistake just now.

Under the strong pressing defense of the Celtics, the Trail Blazers had problems with the outside ball, and Gan Guoyang decisively went to the three-point line to make a connection point for his teammates.

As a result, after receiving the ball near the left touchline, he wanted to dribble and adjust it, and then pass it back to the defenders to reorganize the attack.

Who knew that he had just slapped the ball, but the ball went down but didn't come up! The basketball didn't seem to hit a wooden floor, but on a sponge.

Gan Guoyang was still wondering, the Celtics' substitute center, Qian Ning, who came out to defend Gan Guoyang, seemed to have calculated that Gan Guoyang would make a mistake, "whoosh" to the ground, snatched the ball, and then passed the ball to Dennis Johnson, launching this fast attack to overtake the score.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and the Trail Blazers called another timeout.

"Don't dribble in that place in the future, stay out of there, I forgot to tell you before the game." Valentine walked up to Gan Guoyang, patted Gan Guoyang's back and said to him.

"What the fuck is going on there? Is the floor empty? Gan Guoyang asked, shaking his head.

"The hell knows how many years these parquet floors have been used, and only their damn old red heads know what's going on inside, anyway, they will grow wiser after eating a trench, and don't forget that place in the future."

Valentine's words surprised Gan Guoyang, he didn't expect that in such a professional league, there would be such a cat in the floor of Boston Garden Square.

Of course, Gan's top priority now is not to discover the little secrets of this arena, but to think about how to help the Trail Blazers get out of the offensive shackles since the third quarter.

After Bird hit three three-pointers, Ramsay called a timeout. The main purpose is not to defend against Bird, but to get back the lost points on offense.

In Ramsey's view, it doesn't matter if you drop points, the key is to get them back from attack.

And he knew that if he focused on stopping Bird, he would tell the Trailblazers in a hundred ways, "You're doing this in vain."

As long as the Trail Blazers can still play the same offense as they did in the first half, Ramsey will not be afraid of even if Bird makes a few more three-pointers - not to mention that he knows that Bird's three-point shooting will eventually drop, and he will probably not shoot any more three-pointers.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers relied on the play of Vanderwich and Sampson to stabilize the situation a little.

But in defense, the Trail Blazers still couldn't stop Bird from scoring, and he was still in the realm of how he wanted to shoot, how to shoot, how to shoot, how to score.

At the same time, unlike Ramsey, Jones deployed heavy troops on the defense of Gan Guoyang, and did not give Gan Guoyang the opportunity to receive the ball in the low post at all, and if he received the ball in the high post, Gan Guoyang's threat was greatly reduced.

So, after holding on for a few minutes, the Celtics still flipped the score around, and Ramsey had to call another timeout.

"Keep on the offensive, keep on the offensive! Don't slacken, continue to speed up the attack, slowing down the tempo can only hasten our death, everything we have is built on our offense, get it or not! Ramsey continued to emphasize his quick attack.

This is the Portland Trail Blazers, the more they are in demand, the more they love to attack smoothly and quickly, this is Ramsey's style, and it is also the magic weapon that he was able to lead the Trail Blazers to win the championship back then.

Because Ramsey understands that in the face of Boston's strong defense, stopping and playing slowly can only fall into the opponent's trap and enter the opponent's rhythm of the game.

On the other side of the Celtics bench, Jones was unhurriedly communicating his intentions to the players.

"Our offense, give it to Larry, Larry, you have to control the tempo, you have to be in the attack, give them a sense of pressure; In defense, we can't always maintain high intensity, but one thing to remember is that we must lock Gan, definitely, we can't let this point come out. ”

Jones did not ask for Van der Veric to be locked up, nor did he ask for Sampson to be locked up, but asked the players to keep an eye on Gan Guoyang.

In fact, Jones has discovered that Gan Guoyang is the spring of the Trail Blazers' offense, as long as Gan Guoyang can play and score, then the Trail Blazers' offense can come alive and bring fresh vitality.

And if Gan Guoyang is locked, then just relying on the shots of Vanderwig and Paxson and other outside lines, the Celtics are not afraid.

"Kevin, get ready to play, you should prove to everyone that you are not afraid of your seniors; Even if you can't score, don't let him score, come on, Kevin. Jones decided to put McHale on the field again.

In the first half, McHale was comprehensively suppressed by Sampson, and in the face of his old-timers, McHale's legs and feet were also ineffective, and his long arms were useless, and he could neither prevent nor shoot.

"The two sides are back on the court, the Trail Blazers have replaced Drexler and Colt, and on the Celtics side, our Kevin McHale is back on the court, and hopefully he can play better in the second half and stop being afraid of baby." Half of the reason the Celtics fell behind in the first half was McHale's slump, and his inefficient play on the court left the Celtics lacking enough support on both ends of the floor.

At the end of the timeout, the fans in Garden Square were already singing and dancing in the audience, and although it was still early to end the game, the Celtics tied the score, and Bird's back-to-back scoring performance had completely excited them.

"It's time for us to cool them down, Clyde." Gan Guoyang served on the sideline, and he was very annoyed by his inaction in the second half and the noise of the fans.

Drexler began to act as a point guard after coming off the bench, while Colter began to run from the outside like a shooting guard.

As a rookie, Colter plays steadily, has a well-rounded game, and is active defensively, so he has Ramsay's trust.

"Colter, at the top of the arc with Gan's cover, catch the ball outside the three-point line, shoot! The ball is in! A three-pointer! Oh my god, is Bird's three-point touch contagious to the Trail Blazers? "Most was surprised by Colter's three points.

Not only Most, but also the Trail Blazers players.

"Well done, Black Bean!" Gan Guoyang stepped forward and patted Colte, and the nickname he gave Colt was "Black Bean", not only because Colt was small and small, but his eyes were also small like two little black beans.

At 83:81, the Trail Blazers turned over the score again and regained the advantage.

This three-point shot not only gave the Trail Blazers a lead in the score, but more importantly, it relieved the pressure on the team and reopened the situation.

However, the Trail Blazers' defense hasn't really improved, and the Boston Celtics' offense has begun to focus on a combination of inside and outside.

"Kevin McHale, step-back jumper after catching the ball! Hit! Beautiful step-back shot, I believe he's regaining his confidence! At 83:84, the Celtics began to regain their interior offensive feel. ”

It is impossible to limit McHale forever, and his "gibbon" who came off the bench in the second half began to awaken, and Gan Guoyang finally began to see what it means to lift weights and what it means to be a stitch on the defensive end.

McHale's footwork wasn't fancy, he turned around quickly, swayed in a feint, and then went sideways to the other side of the defender and made a one-handed layup, all with great skill and simplicity without any mud.

He doesn't have amazing bounces, nor does he have outstanding explosiveness, but his lanky and agile body, like a loach, rolls around on the inside, and no one can catch him.

Following Bird's back-to-back scoring runs, McHale held up the Celtics' offense, and Sampson couldn't stop him, scoring eight straight points on the inside.

The shooting percentage on both sides is declining, which is the inevitable result of the continuous attack of both sides, and their physical strength is declining.

However, the Celtics found the feeling of attacking inside, McHale could help the team increase points, while on the Trail Blazers' side, Gan Guoyang couldn't get the ball, and Sampson fell behind in McHale's matchup.

At 91:86, with three minutes left before the end of the third quarter, the Celtics slowly widened the gap to five points.

5 points does not seem to be a particularly large point difference, but it means that the Celtics pulled back 18 points in the third quarter, and from the perspective of the situation on the court, the Celtics are completely in control of the rhythm, and if the Trail Blazers do not solve the problem, the point difference will only get bigger and bigger.

But Ramsey didn't call a timeout, he wanted the players to solve the problem on their own, and more importantly, he didn't know how to solve the current situation on the field.

"Come on! Come on! Ramsey could only shout cheers from the sidelines.

"Damn, I'm going to get the ball, I'm going to get the damn ball." Gan Guoyang is also in a hurry on the court, from the beginning of the second half to now, he hasn't fucking touched the ball much.

Parish is like an expressionless sculpture, forever standing by his side, while other players constantly come forward to interfere with him.

"The Trail Blazers are on offense, and I'll see how they're going to deal with the situation. Gan continued to play with the ball on the outside, and he hadn't been in the low post for a long time, with McHale and Parish completely blocking the three-second zone on the inside, and the Trail Blazers were already very particular about not scoring on the inside. Gan, what did he want to do, oh my god he broke through with the ball directly from the outside! Is he crazy? He pushed past Parrish, a horseback archery shot...... The ball is in! Oh my God, and caused a foul on Parish, and was that the Trail Blazers' first inside score of the second half? "Most couldn't believe his glasses.

And the same is true for other people on the scene, Gan Guoyang's offensive choice is very bad, a center, attacking from outside the three-point line, facing the opponent's three-layer defense, did not break through after all.

Then he used a strange posture to shoot an arrow on horseback, and finally threw the ball into it.

"This guy is starting to have a hot brain again, but it seems to be working well." Ramsey rarely did not roar at Gan Guoyang on the sidelines, but shook his head in acquiescence.

Because Ramsey knows that in this kind of time when the sky should not be called the earth, it is to watch the performance of the stars come back to life.

Although Gan Guoyang is a rookie, he already has the ability to withstand pressure and throw the ball in at critical moments, which all coaches will appreciate.

"Hey, Bird, I'm here." After Gan Guoyang made a free throw, he returned the favor to Bird.
