Sitting on the bench, Gan Guoyang's face was constantly dripping with beads of sweat, he didn't play well in this game, the first three quarters have been in contention, and he has never found his rhythm of the game, the offense is weak, and the defense can't find a point.

In the third quarter, when he started to use one big and four small, Gan Guoyang knew that it was time to make a desperate bet, when Gan Guoyang completely let go of his hands and feet, he quickly adjusted his mentality and calmed down his heart.

Three consecutive strong attacks allowed Gan Guoyang to gradually recover his form, and then he transferred the ball many times, showing full trust in his teammates, and the Trail Blazers players also seized the opportunity to throw the ball in.

The most important point is that the defense of the Trail Blazers finally played the best effect, no matter how fierce the Suns' offense was throughout the game, the Trail Blazers' defense was never chaotic, with the support of Gan Guoyang, they did their best to interfere with the opponent, and finally waited for the collapse of the Suns' offense.

Kevin Johnson no longer has the physical strength to continue to maintain such a fast impact, Hornacek was completely killed by Jim Paxson, who came off the bench, Jerome Cauchy's defense of Tom Chambers was unexpectedly good, Cauchy is dead defense Chambers's breakthrough, shoot at will, and Chambers's degree is difficult to break through Cauchy, shooting, he seems to no longer feel in the fourth quarter.

"Pick-and-roll, we need pick-and-roll to find space, but be careful of mistakes, put your pick-and-roll position out, try to open up the space, reduce the pass, I don't want to see mistakes, it's very important, very important." Adelman did not arrange any complex tactics, but repeatedly emphasized that the coordination must be concise and reduce the probability of mistakes, at such a moment, a mistake is very fatal, and the Suns will definitely strengthen the pressure on the ball, so that the Trail Blazers can't get out of the ball, the more complex the Trail Blazer's cooperation, the higher the probability of mistakes.

This is a difference between Adelman and Ramsey, if it is Ramsey, at this time there will definitely be an effective key moment tactic, and then this tactic often has several changes, allowing the players to choose on the field, and Adelman handed over the tactical decision to the players, just to remind them, because Adelman believes that in such a moment, it is necessary to fully trust his players and trust the superstars in the team.

Gan Guoyang took out a towel to wipe his sweat, this time he didn't drop the towel in his hand to the ground, then Adelman turned to Gan Guoyang and said: "Gan, the decision to attack is up to you, remember, the point in the bottom corner of the right side, the point at the top of the arc and the point in the three-second zone, three points, pay attention to the three points." ”

Gan Guoyang listened and nodded, he understood what Adelman meant, Gan Guoyang will block with Drexler on the left side of the waist, and then Jim Paxson will run to the right baseline to ambush, Terry Porter will respond at the right side of the arc, Jerome Cauchy is waiting for an opportunity in the three-second zone, and the left side is all free to create scoring opportunities for Gan Guoyang and Drexler.

This is an open tactical position, giving the two people the greatest freedom, while the other three are the pitchers or receiving points at the fixed point, and how the tactics change depends on how Drexler and Gan Guoyang deal with it.

"The timeout is over, the three-point gap, 45 seconds left before the end of the game, the Trail Blazers are going to execute a very critical offense, and now they are on the verge of winning 12 points in a row, incredible, incredible."

Drexler was on the outside of bounds, the Suns also did not press, Gan Guoyang received the ball, and then immediately dodged Hornacek's interference and handed the ball to Drexler, who held the ball outside the three-point line to observe, a key offense.

"Drexler started, went from the left, made a pick-and-roll with Gan, and the glider made a ground-hitting pass, and Gan caught the ball...... The ball didn't catch it! But he still got the ball and was caught in the bag...... The ball is going to be lost...... Gan passes the ball to Porter, who breaks through with the ball, but he passes it back, and the ball goes back to Gan's hand, and Gan makes a three-point shot at 45 degrees! ”

Adelman's heart was about to jump out, Drexler's pass just now almost ruined the attack, his low-handed pass did not grasp the strength well, the ball suddenly passed wide, Gan Guoyang had to bend down and reach out to grab the ball, Hornacek saw this and decisively let go of Drexler to wrap Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang desperately protected the ball, used his body to resist West and Hornacek behind him, and handed the ball to Porter, who immediately broke through from the right side after taking the ball, and at this time Gan Guoyang adjusted his position and ran to the right three-point line at 45 degrees.

At this moment of decision, Porter chose to pass the ball instead of continuing to break through, although the success rate of continuing to break through will be higher, because West has been transferred out by Gan Guoyang, and there is only one Chambers in it, Drexler and Cauchy are also ready to rush for frontcourt rebounds, but Porter still passes.

In this game, Gan Guoyang made 3 three-point shots, and missed all three attempts, obviously he felt really bad tonight, but Porter trusted Gan Guoyang, just as Gan Guoyang would trust him at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, this trust comes from years of game cooperation and good relationship off the court, Porter knows that in the Portland Trail Blazers, no one is more reliable than Gan Guoyang at critical moments.

"Gan's three-pointer!!"

In everyone's attention, the ball seemed to fly very slowly, and the arc of this ball was very high, Patrick also stretched out his voice, until he saw the ball passing through the center of the net, he completely released his voice.

“he-hit-it！ a-three-point！ (He threw it!) A three-pointer! ）”

The Arizona Veterans Memorial Stadium was gloomy, and in the entire field, only Gan Guoyang was left shining, he raised his right hand and used his fingers to draw a "three" to show that he had made a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers players ran over excitedly to hug Gan Guoyang, while the Suns players looked depressed.

The Suns used up their last timeout, and you know, the Suns barely took a timeout in the first three quarters because they played so well and smoothly, and they made up for it in the fourth quarter.

97:97 draw, the Trail Blazers finally tied the score less than 3o seconds from the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns' advantage and efforts throughout the game, it is likely to be in vain in the last 3o seconds, many fans are looking up at the timer to see how much time is left, for the Suns they still have a chance, at this time it is still a tie, and one more goal can lead the way.

That's right, score another one, but the last time they scored a goal, it was a full 7 minutes ago, they haven't scored for 7 minutes, they can't score at all, they can't get it a few times to grab a rebound in the front court to reorganize the offense, no one can make fouls, for the Suns, scoring goals has become a luxury.

A sense of desperation began to permeate the Suns, Hornacek, Chambers, Johnson, they all looked at each other, and at this time they didn't know who to trust, who to give the ball to, to let Johnson break through? Or the Hornacek organization? Or is Chambers low and strong? Or just throw it and let West grab the rebound?

I don't know, they don't know, they can only listen to the coach, but the coach is also confused, and after emphasizing his attention, he throws the burden of offense on Kevin Johnson.

When the timeout ended, the audience cheered encouragingly and waved the white towel in their hands to support the Suns, who would never give up until the last minute.

The Trail Blazers continued to maintain a one-big and four-small formation, with Gan Guoyang in the center, Cauchy playing power forward, Drexler small forward, and Jim Paxson and Porter partnering in the backcourt.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle, and the Suns made a crucial attack.

This time Kevin Johnson took the ball, he didn't hesitate, and played a block with Chambers, and now he needs to block and pick, he can't stop bare and rush in from the left like an electric strip!

Kevin Johnson chose to insert the inside line from the left, but dodged it from the right side with a layup, he used a beautiful cross step past Gan Guoyang, who stepped forward to make up the defense, jumped with his body out of balance, and then used a difficult toss to make a layup with his right hand, thinking of a high board!

"Johnson breaks through, layup! The ball is covered in the air! The ball was pinned to the rebound! It's Gan, with his long arms! ”

Gan Guoyang was just now, and that time was completely deliberate! So his steps were not chaotic at all, but adjusted his pace, turned around and was a big hat, and directly nailed the ball that Johnson threw that was still rising to the rebound!

Gan Guoyang took the ball from the air and firmly controlled it in his hand, but he still didn't call a timeout! Completely ignoring Adelman's reminder and advancing directly from the back to the front with the ball!

At this time, Malley stepped forward to pull out the ball, and Gan Guoyang passed the ball to Potter, and the two advanced quickly.

"Gan is in the box, he wants to be in the position, and it is Marley who defends him! Porter passes the ball to Gan, and Gan takes the ball and shoots it directly! The ball is in! The ball is in! Gan hook hand hit! ”

Gan Guoyang didn't have a chance to make an offensive foul at all, he completely ignored Marley's defense, turned to the baseline and hit the ball with an elegant hook, 99:97! The Trail Blazers are the first anti! It was only 3.9 seconds before the end of the race, and the sun was already out of time!

"Sunball, Hornacek, three points away! The ball is off! The game is over, the game is over, and the Trail Blazers completed a big comeback, defeating the Suns 99-97 on the road, and the overall score became 3:O, 3:O! They've already made it to the Western Conference Finals with one foot. ”
