Chapter 357: Fiery Three Points

"Gan has to catch the ball in a position, and the Trail Blazers' ability to feed the ball from the outside needs to be strengthened. Of course, the absence of their main point guard, Valentin, did have an impact on their outside line...... Gan passes the ball to Drexler, suddenly cuts inside, Drexler lobs the ball, Gan catches the ball, dunks! Finally there is a goal in the athletic battle. ”

Gan Guoyang finally scored the first sports goal of the second half for the Trail Blazers, and it was a duo between him and Drexler, as Ramsey said, in this situation, the simple duo is more efficient than the whole team, because there are fewer passes and it is not easy to make mistakes.

But as Haiyin Thorne said, Drexler alone can't take on the task of feeding Gan Guoyang, in the game with the Rockets, although the Rockets have strong outside pressure, but in fact, the pressure on the ball is not strong, even if Colt can put the ball in the hands of Gan Guoyang in the key position as long as he is focused.

However, the Celtics are a typical defense that presses the ball and line, and Colter and Drexler lack enough experience to deal with such defenses, and Valentin, the Trail Blazers' highest assists per game in the playoffs, is sitting on the sidelines in a formal suit and has missed most of the season.

"If the Trail Blazers can't even feed Gan Guoyang the ball, then they can't wield the power of the league's best scorer in the third quarter, so how can they change the situation on the court in the crucial third quarter...... Let's look at this ball, Dennis Johnson breaks through, splits the ball, Bird feints, throws, the ball goes in! A left-handed toss! Very unexpectedly, Gan on the inside clearly miscalculated Bird's choice, and he didn't react. ”

Every one of Bird's offenses is confusing, because you don't know if he's going to attack or pass the ball himself, and if he does, he's going to jump and go up, or he's going to throw like he just did.

Even if you know how he throws, you don't know if he's going to use his left hand or his right hand, Larry Bird's left hand is just as good as his right hand.

The point difference is still maintained at 9 points, and the Celtics don't seem to be working the field, without crazy pressing, without all-out packing, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the first half.

But the Trail Blazers' offense just can't be instigated, the Celtics players seem to be able to pinch the general, they can always stand in the most uncomfortable position for the Trail Blazers players, the filling position is in place and timely, the rotation is reasonable, and the entire defense line is like a rubber wall, not hard, but it can't be opened.

Against the Rockets, the Rockets relied on strong individual defense and the tall stature of the players, and after a few games of adaptation, Colter didn't say anything else, dribbling through half the court, feeding Gan Guoyang a ball was no problem, no matter how bad it was, and Drexler stepped up to help organize.

Now, the weakness of the absence of the main point guard is magnified, no one combs the offense, and lets Drexler act as a guard, physical strength is a problem, and the ability to assist and organize the combing ability cannot be completely equal, after all, Drexler is only a young player in the third year.

"Decisive, decisive!" Ramsey repeatedly emphasized the need to be decisive on the sidelines, because the offense was not smooth, the Trail Blazers players were a little hesitant after getting the ball, and as soon as they hesitated, time passed, the players would be more impatient, and the offensive efficiency would be greatly reduced.

"Time was running out, Drexler was trapped, he threw the ball out, Gan took the ball, there was no time, three-point shot...... The ball went in~ a whistle three-pointer! Incredible goal, a center shoots a three-pointer at the buzzer. ”

The Trail Blazers really had some shit luck, Drexler broke through on his own when he was forced to do so, but the route was completely blocked by Dennis Johnson and Parish, who stepped forward to wrap him, at this time Gan Guoyang just ran outside the three-point line, and Drexler could only pass the ball to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang saw that there were only two seconds left in the time, and he could only shoot in three points, but the moment he shot, Gan Guoyang felt that the arc and strength of the shot were quite good.

"This goal is going to be scored!" As soon as this thought came to Gan Guoyang's mind, the ball hollowed into the net, and the 24-second timer rang at the same time.

Ramsey also sweated on the sidelines, if this offense misses again, go back and let the Celtics play one, he will call a timeout again, I have to say, in basketball, luck is also very important.

However, Gan Guoyang seems to want to prove that this is not luck.

"Bird got the ball in the middle, turned and broke through, suddenly passed the ball and Parrish ...... It's too slow, the dunk is covered by Gan! Drexler got the ball, and the Trail Blazers were going to fight back! ”

This is the first counterattack of the Trail Blazers in the second half, and for a team that loves fast breaks, there is too little, there is no way, there is no way to prevent the opponent's attack, there is no chance to counterattack quickly.

In this ball, Bird suddenly stepped forward and entered the core area down the free throw line, which is the area that poses the greatest threat to the defense, and Bird can attack on his own or pass the ball in all directions.

Bird chose a covert ground-hitting pass, and the ball went into Parish's hands, but Gan Guoyang's judgment was not wrong, and Parrish's movements were slightly slow, and the dunk was slapped off by Gan Guoyang from the side.

"The Celtics were very quick to defend back, but Gan was stuck in the low post, Drexler handed the ball to Gan, Gan didn't hesitate to take the ball, turned around and hooked his hand, and the ball went in."

In the quick counterattack, Gan Guoyang can finally receive the ball comfortably in the low position, although McHale, who returned to the defense, stared at Gan Guoyang, but without the help of his teammates, Gan Guoyang's butt was topped, and an inside turn was wiped into the basket, and the small hook easily hit.

But it's not over yet, the Celtics immediately baseline the ball, wanting to take advantage of the Trail Blazers just scoring a goal and immediately play a counterattack, which is also a common trick used by the Celtics, using counterattacks to deal with counterattacks.

But McHale's ball was a little too impatient, and Drexler sprang out from the side and cut off McHale's pass to Dennis Johnson.

"Drexler went down and broke the ball, he passed it out, and Gan got it...... He shot a three-pointer! ”

The problem with the Celtics' ball was that Dennis Johnson ran close to the halfway line to receive McHale's pass because of the over-pursuit of counter-attacking speed, which saved time in the half, but Drexler rushed forward to grab the ball, but he himself was in the end, almost rushed out of the sideline, and at the moment when Johnson pounced, he passed the ball to Gan Guoyang, who was standing at the top of the three-point arc.

Gan Guoyang was originally running back to defense, but as soon as he ran outside the three-point line, Drexler broke the ball, and then the ball passed.

After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang hesitated for a second, he did not wait for his teammates to come back to play the position, nor did he dribble and rush inside, but aimed outside the three-point line, and shot a three-point shot at the top of the arc.

"Huh!"

Boston Garden Square was suddenly much quieter, and a center who had scored 31 points in the third quarter on this court scored eight straight points in one minute, including two three-pointers, how could it not leave the fans dumbfounded.

The point difference was narrowed to one point at once, and the Trailblazers' bench was all excited, only Ramsey, his heart was about to jump out of his throat, Gan Guoyang, this guy, was too fat.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers was worried about Gan's hook hand on the inside, so they tried their best not to let Gan catch the ball, but unexpectedly, Gan actually chose a three-point shot! When the hell did this guy start getting this hand? Heinsohn, as a staunch supporter of the Celts, also had to sigh at the magic of Gan Guoyang at this time.

You must know that the league's No. 1 three-pointer is in the opposite lineup, and he only averages 2.4 three-pointers per game, and the Trailblazers average only 0.8 three-pointers per game in the regular season, less than one.

Casey Jones did a lot of calculations, even if Vanderwich and Paxson scored three points, he didn't count Gan Guoyang to score three points, and he still scored two.

In the era when three-point shots can't be called tactics, in an era when the average number of three-point goals per game in the league is less than 1, Gan Guoyang's two three-pointers, especially the second, are really a bit shocking, this is the finals.

However, the players and coaches of the Trailblazers know that Gan Guoyang scored two three-pointers, and there must be an element of luck, but it is definitely inseparable from his daily training after training.

Everyone doesn't understand why Gan Guoyang, a center, has to practice mid-to-long-range shooting every day, but he just persevered, and the three-point shot in the regular season did not become his weapon, but when it came to the finals armed to the teeth, any skill that could hurt the opponent had to be displayed.

"It's pretty, but sometimes you have to take care of my heart." Ramsey patted Gan Guoyang and said.

………………

One point difference, Casey Jones is not in a hurry, this wave of offense of the Trail Blazers is obviously lucky, tactically the Celtics still maintain this suppression, and Jones is not worried on the offensive end, he fully trusts the experience and strength of this batch of old fritters.

After restarting, McHale singled in the low post, causing a foul on Mitchell Sampson, and after hitting two free throws, he once again stabilized his position.

"Mitchell Sampson seems to be a little out of his grip on McHale, who has scored 17 points and is second only to Bird for the Celtics...... The Trail Blazers, they still can't seem to find a way to feed the ball inside, they replaced Cauchy on the court and let Draxler play point guard, but the Celtics still shrank hard, and Drexler also tried to shoot from the outside...... Didn't touch the basket! Sampson grabbed the ball, the layup was blocked by McHale, and the Celtics fought back! ”

Seeing that the defender was far away from him, Drexler stepped inside and tried a jumper from 21 feet, but the basket was missed, and Sampson was lucky to pick up the ball, but the layup was blocked.

Bird got the ball and instigated a fast break, but Danny Ainge's jumper was blocked by Cauchy, who was catching up behind!

The Trail Blazers, who lack experience and tactics, have the biggest advantage is their hard work, and Cauchy, who has just come on the court, watched Angie catch the ball and rush to the basket, and suddenly remembered in his heart that Angie likes to shoot jumpers rather than layups in the fast break.

So he slowed down, Angie thought that as long as he had an emergency stop, Cauchy would rush over, and then his jump shot was over, but he didn't expect Cauchy to be fooled, and Anji's emergency stop jump shot was picked up by Cauchy.

"The Trail Blazers fought back! Cauthy pushed forward with the ball, he didn't know what to do, and passed the ball to Gan, who was standing outside the three-point line, and he would try...... Another three-pointer! ”

Where will Cauchy organize the attack, in the finals, he panicked as soon as he got the ball, and subconsciously passed the ball to the No. 1 person, but the ball went to Gan Guoyang who was halfway back to the defense.

Gan Guoyang threw another three-pointer, and this time he didn't hesitate.

Because he knew that his hands were hot.

"If you don't hurry up, it'll be too late." Gan Guoyang thought in his heart.
