Many times Jordan has long been accustomed to relying on his own strength to lead the team to victory, not only to lead his teammates, but even to lead his coach, his inner desire to win pushes him to always move forward, but at the same time makes him full of distrust of the people around him, because others are not good enough.

Grant is not good enough, after the team manager replaced Jordan's best friend Oakley, he felt that this big forward, who looked similar to Oakley, was far worse than Oakley, not tough enough, not strong enough, not buddy enough. Tonight, he was beaten out by Gan Guoyang, and he couldn't prevent it at all one-on-one.

Pippen is not good enough, a tall and thin small forward, with very good physical fitness, but he doesn't seem to have any offensive talent, much worse than Jordan's senior brother James Worthy, and Jordan doesn't like this guy to be lazy and lazy all day long, so Jordan likes to spur this little brother in his usual training, using trash talk and singles to stimulate Pippen, only at this time, the No. 33 can go all out, and Jordan will find it more interesting.

It's just a little more interesting, for Jordan, going head-to-head with Gan Guoyang is the most interesting thing he thinks.

The two also have a strong fighting spirit, a strong desire to win, no one admits defeat, often two people start one-on-one in the training hall, this day is basically confessed, until it gets dark and can't move, it won't stop.

What Jordan admires most about Gan Guoyang is his learning ability, in the offseason in several one-on-one challenges between the two, Gan Guoyang as a center, if he does not use interior technology, he will definitely suffer, but his dribbling is very good, and all kinds of wonderful actions emerge in endlessly, many of which are simply learned and sold, copied directly from Jordan, he can always do quite perfectly as a big man.

Of course, the final result is often that Gan Guoyang wins more, because at the last moment, Gan Guoyang will sacrifice the "invincible ass Dafa", let Jordan's strength be robbed again, Gan Guoyang will use the center technology to start attacking, he will also catch blind, but at the same time, this also makes Jordan begin to realize the importance of back-to-back attack.

Tonight, Jordan is always worried about one thing in his heart, Gan Guoyang has scored 52 points in the third quarter of the game, but the points he got from the back singles are not much, more of a basket shot, a second offense after grabbing an offensive rebound, and a jump shot after blocking and dismantling, obviously, Gan Guoyang is saving physical strength.

A center shoots more than 30 times, and if each is backed by a strong back, the game will be boring in two quarters, no matter how good his physical strength is.

Jordan understands that Gan Guoyang is accumulating strength, but Jordan himself is no longer able to stay strong.

"Michael Jordan, break through the middle and force a layup! The ball went in. It also caused a foul on the Trail Blazers players, a foul on Sabonis, a foul for the fifth time, Jordan faced a three-man block, used a magical dodge in the air, threw the ball into the basket, and had a chance to hit a three-pointer. Dick Stockton is not even willing to speak in an overly passionate voice about this kind of ball, because there are so many.

Jordan held the ball in the middle and relied on a cover to kill it directly, and the ball went up under the siege of many people, and it was obvious in the air that Jordan's jump was earlier than others, but he fell to the ground later than others, and the speed was obviously faster by a beat, and at the same time, people on his body also threw the ball in, he was too strong, too fast, too capable of jumping.

Jordan stood at the free throw line, and more than halfway through the fourth quarter, Jordan had raised his score to 63 points, which was already his career scoring record, and only one more goal would break his current record for the highest score.

"Jordan made a free throw, and this free throw will narrow the gap between the Bulls and the Trail Blazers to five points, and it will set a new scoring record of his own, and the Bulls need his scoring...... Missed the free throw, oh, Williams grabbed the rebound! Jordan misses a free throw, which is a shame. ”

Obviously, Jordan was tired, and when he stood at the free throw line, he unconsciously used his hands to support his knees to rest, indeed, this is not a scoring game with a weak team, this is a defensive battle with a strong team.

The biggest difference between the fourth quarter and the first three quarters is that Jordan not only has to attack, but also defend, to defend Jim Paxson, Paxson's jump shot suddenly became lethal in the fourth quarter, very deadly, he hit three three-pointers, these three three-pointers alone offset Jordan's scores, if it weren't for the Bulls' Craig Hogans who came off the bench and hit two three-pointers, the difference between the two sides would only get bigger and bigger.

As a shooting guard, Jordan must take the initiative to lock up Paxson, and he can't watch Paxson stab his team, so Jordan began to defend Paxson one-on-one and let Paxson not score again.

And Jordan also paid the price for this, that is, he was too tired, and when he saw the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Adelman, reached out and called a timeout, Jordan even felt some gratitude to Adelman, and calling a timeout with four minutes left in the game could give him a breather.

At this time, the Trail Blazers have taken control of the situation on the court, unlike the Bulls, the overall strength of the Trail Blazers is superior, in the case of Gan Guoyang no score in the fourth quarter, Paxson suddenly hit three points in a row, Cauchy and Buck Williams played the role of assault, violently impacting the inside, helping the Trail Blazers maintain the lead in the score.

Adelman also wanted to call a timeout to stabilize the situation and play the final four minutes.

"We've mastered the rhythm, we've played well, our offense has improved, now we're going to give them the last blow, we can't give the opponent any more chances, four minutes, seven points, to keep it until the end, the success rate of the attack is our lifeline, play inside, give them a kill!"

Adelman said and picked up the tactical board in his hand and began to arrange a tactical routine for the players, the content of the tactics is very simple, that is, to make the ball for Gan Guoyang on the inside.

From the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang has always restrained himself, restrained his desire to score, restrained himself and Jordan's idea of soaring, and made a big plan if he couldn't bear it.

Gan Guoyang knows that Jim Paxson's recovery is definitely a good omen for the Trail Blazers, and as soon as the point of scoring guard is opened, the overall offense of the Trail Blazers immediately comes to life.

The Trail Blazers finally began to have players other than Gan Guoyang start to score, while the opposite Bulls still have to rely on Jordan to score points, which means more rest time for Gan Guoyang, and he also needs to rest very much.

In the first three quarters of the game, Gan Guoyang tried to use lighter means to score points, not only because he paid a lot on the defensive end, but also because he wanted to save energy until the end.

Now, it's time to show your sharp claws to complete the chokehold.

"The game continues, the Bulls are still six points behind the Trail Blazers, four minutes to go, they still have a chance, obviously the Trail Blazers revived their offense in the fourth quarter, their fluid offensive coordination came back after disappearing for three quarters, and on the Bulls' side, Jordan is trying to hold on, how long can he hold on?"

"We should note that on the Trail Blazers' side, Gan didn't take a shot in the fourth quarter, he was always making the ball for his teammates, and he was a lone hero in the first three quarters like Jordan, but he became a team player in the first half of the fourth quarter. But what will happen in the last four minutes, it's hard to predict. ”

The performances of Gan Guoyang and Jordan tonight have left Rick Barry with no flaws to fault with, and all he can do is praise.

"The two sides returned to the court, the Trail Blazers served on the sidelines, this attack was very crucial, we see, Porter served on the sideline and passed the ball directly to Gan in the low post, Gan's key position was very deep...... Jordan broke the ball! Jordan cut off the pass, the pass was too far away, the intention was too obvious...... Jordan passes the ball to Pippen, Pippen's fast break! ”

Gan Guoyang slipped from the right side of the baseline to the left side of the low post to ask for the ball this time, which is a very commonly used low position tactic, but the intention is too obvious, Porter is also a little far away from Gan Guoyang, but Jordan flew to steal, Pippen got the ball and went straight to the basket.

"Crucial layup...... It was covered from behind by Gan! A good risk! The referee didn't blow for a foul! A good risk! Gan's eighth block of the game. Dick Stockton's voice rose sharply an octave as Gan Guoyang knocked Pippen's layup away from behind him with a big hat, and the ball flew into the hands of Cauchy, who was following him.

"Why didn't Pippen dunk? Why not dunk? Why? A 6-foot-7 forward, a sophomore, a player who can jump from the free-throw line and there's no one in front of him, why doesn't he dunk? Rick Barry asked, shaking his head.

The audience must have been wondering why Pippen didn't dunk and chose a layup instead, but now he can't give an answer.

Jordan's flying steals didn't turn into points, and the difference was still 7 points.

Subsequently, Porter's pass would not be so careless, he fed the ball to Gan Guoyang again, but Jordan did not dare to go up to make up for the defense easily, because Paxson was waiting in the bottom corner, so Gan Guoyang opened Korzin with his back and hit a small hook with an easy left hand, and the difference became 8 points.

A flying big hat, a relaxed hook hand, obviously Gan Guoyang's physical strength is relatively abundant at this time, and his energy is almost stored.

As the Trailblazers continued to feed Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang's huge power in the low post was revealed, and the Bulls' players were no longer able to wrap Gan Guoyang, their physical strength was exhausted, and their morale was exhausted with Gan Guoyang's continuous goals.

The Trail Blazers were also extremely thrilling, and if Pippen's goal had hit and the margin had become 4 points, the situation would have been completely different, and Gan Guoyang's lethal block held the victory firmly in his hands.

"It's over! A great game, the Trail Blazers won on the road against the Bulls, but this game belonged to two people, to Gan, to Jordan, and for the first time in NBA history, two players scored 60 points in the same game, and they both scored more points than all the other players combined! ”

Perhaps, the result of this game is not so important, Gan Guoyang and Jordan hugged in the center of the field after the game, and the victory or defeat has become a simple number left in the record book of history, but a great performance by the two of them has become an eternal memory of a generation.

And that's just the beginning.
