"Good evening, everyone, this is Chicago TV, and we're going to be there tonight to broadcast the Chicago Bulls home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. I'm Calvin Knight, and I'm happy to be the host of the game, and I'm joined by a retired player from the Bulls, Bob Love, Hello Bob. ”

"Hello Calvin."

"Let's take a look at the current situation between the Bulls and the Trail Blazers, which is the second game of the season between the two sides, and the last game was in Portland, where the Trail Blazers won relatively comfortably. Currently, the Trail Blazers are still in first place in the West with a 27-14 record. However, they have won one and lost three of their last four games and are not in such good form. Calvin Knight gave a presentation on the Trail Blazers.

It's true that the Trail Blazers have had their ups and downs right now, starting the new year with a lot of momentum, beating the 76ers and Lakers in a row to sit in first place in the West, but their main small forward Van Dewic has been hampered by injuries and has been unable to play, which has cost them two of the four games against the three Texas teams, and then recently lost to the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz. The margin was small in both games, and we could see that Vanderwich was not there, and the Trail Blazers' ability to score from the outside was very problematic. Guest commentator Bob Love continued.

Bob Love is an All-Star small forward who played nine seasons with the Chicago Bulls, and it is reported that his jersey will be retired with the Bulls in the coming seasons.

"Yes, Van Dewy's defense has often been criticized by many parties before, but without Van Dewy, the Trail Blazers' offense has really been greatly affected. They don't have the best scorer, they don't have an excellent outside offensive center, they don't have a critical attacker, and it can be said that the entire outside line of the Trail Blazers is almost half paralyzed. Knight added.

"You can say that, but not so?

?? Heavy, because Drexler was put in the starting line-up, Drexler played very well last season, but he has not been fully trusted by Ramsey, playing more and sometimes less. And lately, the Trail Blazers have been plagued by injuries, Drexler has been getting more playing time, and he's acting more and more like an All-Star. It's just that his outside shooting ability has been consistently inconsistent, limiting his play in key moments, which is why they have lost in recent games by a narrow margin. "Lefou's evaluation is still relatively objective.

"But Gan's performance at key moments also seems to be limited, in fact, he has a big heart in the first few games of the season, and the game against the Lakers at the beginning of the year is a whistle shot, but he is difficult to even touch the ball in these games."

"That's right, because the teams are starting to focus on Gan, he was a point of release at the beginning of the season, and now he's the focus of the teams' defense." Lefu poured out the truth that Gan Guoyang is no longer as magical as before recently.

After playing the game against the Indiana Pacers, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of three Texas teams in succession: the Dallas Mavericks, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Houston Rockets.

In those three games, the Trail Blazers first won the Dallas Mavericks at home, then went to Texas to walk the Texas Triangle, first lost to the spicy San Antonio Spurs, and then destroyed the Rockets at Houston Space City, but capsized in Dallas.

Such a performance of one win and one defeat, one win and one defeat shows that the state of the Trail Blazers is very unstable without Vanderwig.

After the Trail Blazers didn't have Vanderwicki, the players realized how weak they were on offense without a perimeter player who averaged 30 points per game on the perimeter.

Like the game lost to the Mavericks and the Spurs, the two sides fought until the end, but the Spurs have Gwen, the Mavericks have Aquili, and when they need to test the scoring ability of the outside superstar at a critical moment, the Trail Blazers' Paxson and Drexler are obviously not up to it.

Later, in the game against the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets, the entire Trail Blazers still did not escape the cycle of lack of offensive strength at critical moments, and they fell in the last minute in both games, suffering the first three-game losing streak of the season.

After back-to-back losses, the Trail Blazers still held the top spot in the West, and more importantly, they finally welcomed Van Deweew back in the game against the Bulls on January 22.

The Trail Blazers went two wins and four losses without Vanderwig, which made them miss the team's leading scorer.

"Vanderwicki's return should unleash the energy of the Trail Blazers' outside line, while making the Trail Blazers' interior less encumbered and hindered, as the Trail Blazers' interior line has experienced the pain of not having a strong firepower to attract the defense on the outside in recent games."

"Yes, but the Bulls across from them should be more struggling with the lack of interior offense, and if Gan were to come to the Bulls with Jordan, oh, I think it would be a perfect combination of inside and outside." Bob Love, as a retired player of the Bulls, naturally began to whimsical from the perspective of the Bulls.

"No kidding, one of these two rookies is at the top of the scoring charts and the other is at the top of the rebounding charts, and it's hard to believe how much these two guys will accomplish in the future. If they are in one team, then I think the main goal of the other teams should be to think about whether or not to reinstate the ABA League! "Calvin Knight is also a guy with a mouth full of trains.

Although Knight's words are obviously exaggerated, Jordan and Gan Guoyang have indeed become the two hottest stars in the league.

On the one hand, Gan Guoyang is affected by the color of his skin, which makes people marvel at what he has achieved so far; On the other hand, his free-spirited, uninhibited style and personality also make him extremely popular with young fans.

This made Nike laugh crookedly, they just wanted to rely on these two players to open up the market of young fans, and now they are performing enough to make Nike's sneakers a big sale.

It is reported that the two will shoot a set of Nike sneaker commercials together in Chicago to promote "Air-Jordan" and "G-Skyscraper", and the two sneakers will also be officially launched to the market before the All-Star Game.

But now the two are rivals on the court, giving their all to win a game.

Gan Guoyang's performances in the last few games have been consistent, but not impressive, in several fierce games, Gan Guoyang failed to score the key goal in the final moments, in fact, he did not even touch the ball.

Compared with the 76ers and Lakers games in the New Year, Gan Guoyang seems to have a tendency to return to normal, although his rebounding is as good as ever.

In contrast, Jordan has been on a thriving streak lately, scoring less than 25 points in only two games since 1985 and 20 points in all of his games.

Four of those games were over 30 points and one was over 40 points, and in the last game against the Indiana Pacers, he had a near-triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

It's just that the overall strength of the Bulls is insufficient, and they have also won one game and lost one game in the last few games, losing one game and winning one game, which is quite unstable.

"The game was about to start and we saw that the players on the field were shaking hands with each other, and Gan and Jordan were hugging each other and looking very close. They both signed with Nike this year, and both of them have big contracts beyond their imagination. So their sneakers look very similar, Jordan's pair is red and white, with black; And Gan's pair is black and white, with red as the main color, which also complements the color of their jersey. ”

"Their shoes look a bit ugly, a nowhere near what I usually wear when I play, but it's said that young people nowadays really like the bells and whistles and a little bulky new sneakers."

For Jordan and Gan Guoyang's shoes, the debate between all parties is still not over, and every time the commentator explains the game between the Trail Blazer and the Bulls, the shoes of these two guys are always taken out and ridiculed.

However, the market and the fans' choices don't lie, and Nike will use sales to prove who is right.

"Hey, Michael, why do I think these shoes are a bit heavy?"

"I don't know, but I can still fly, including over your skyscraper."

"I'm not a moving skyscraper, you better watch your eggs."

On the court, although Gan Guoyang and Jordan were not in place, the two chatted with each other, and even mocked each other.

Before the game, people from Nike came to Chicago and met with Gan Guoyang and Jordan, telling them that they would shoot a sneaker ad for the two of them in Chicago after the game.

I don't care much about how to shoot the advertisement, Gan Guoyang and Jordan, anyway, listen to the director.

In private, the two slowly became friends, although the two looked at each other not very well, Gan Guoyang felt that Jordan was too frivolous, chewing gum with a gold chain and looking like a second ancestor.

Jordan thinks that Gan Guoyang is like a mean lawyer in sportswear, who never saves face when he speaks, and always opposes Jordan verbally, which makes Jordan very annoyed.

On the field, the impression of each other has not changed at all.

"Michael holds the ball on the right side, breaks through, changes hands to the basket! Oh ~ Oh my God, perfect switching layups, oh my God, how did he do it? ”

In the game, Jordan blew up the court with a wonderful hand-to-hand layup, he broke through from the right 45 degrees, jumped from the edge of the three-second zone on the right, but dodged Gan and Sampson's block, and made a left-handed layup on the left side.

“**！ How did this guy do it! Gan Guoyang shook his head helplessly, took the ball and returned to the baseline to serve.

"Well, I said I could fly over skyscrapers." Jordan spread his hands and said to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang ignored Jordan and went straight to the front court after serving.

At this point, the score was 26-25, and the Trail Blazers still had a one-point lead, with 15 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Gan Guoyang was on the left corner to cover Drexler and Paxson, and the Trail Blazers were looking for a last-ditch attack.

But in the last ball, the Bulls defended very hard, they did not shrink into the three-second zone, but moved all hands to press the defense, squeezing the Trail Blazers players outside.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers' tactics couldn't be played, Gan Guoyang raised his hand to ask for the ball at the horn position, and Drexler threw the ball to Gan Guoyang.

"Gan catches the ball, turns inside, and heads to the three-second zone...... One-arm dunk! His strength was incredible, his speed was the same, he turned and grabbed the ball with one hand and rushed inside, the Bulls were empty inside, he dunked with one hand, it was so exciting, the game ended in the first quarter, 28:25. ”

"Do you know how skyscrapers are built? A large crane is required. Gan Guoyang looked at Jordan after dunking, and then stretched out his long arm to gesture to him, this is Gan Guoyang's crane arm.
