The second quarter had just begun, and the Warriors served, when an accident occurred.

As Sauter broke through from the left side with the ball, he tripped on Van Dewig's foot, and he immediately lost his balance and fell on his stomach.

People always subconsciously reach out to support themselves when they fall, and Sauter is the same, he stretched out his left hand to support the ground when he fell to the ground, and as a result, his joint was contusion, and he fell to the ground in pain.

"Saut was helped off the field by the team doctor, and the moment he supported the ground with his left hand may have bruised the soft tissues of the joint, it was a terrible accident, I don't know if Saut can return to the game in this game, he has gone straight back to the locker room."

The sudden accident disrupted the Warriors' tactical plan, and Warriors coach John Bach had to replace Pete Siberdeks, a rookie who was drafted in '83 and didn't play a single game in his rookie season, and only started to play as a major substitute this season.

However, the offensive feeling that the Warriors have accumulated since the first quarter did not lose it, and after re-serving, the Warriors' point guard Slip Floyd broke through from the baseline, and then Larry Smith stepped in the middle, received the ball and scored a layup, and the Warriors led by five points at 29:24.

"I believe that although Sauter is out of the court with injury, the Warriors' two guards will cause a lot of problems for the Trail Blazers, who have been having problems with their perimeter defense, and their defensive intensity is really a little lower." James Brown commented.

The Warriors used Floyd and Connor, two two-way guards who could play both point guard and shooting guard on the guard line — although the concept of a two-way guard was not popular at the time.

Both men are somewhere between a pure point guard and a pure shooting guard, which makes the Warriors' backcourt work quite well, with good passing and penetration, both offensively and defensively.

They caused the Trail Blazers a lot of trouble in the first quarter, and judging by the momentum in the second quarter, they will continue to disrupt it.

"Paxson's ball is broken! Connor's steal! He's averaging two steals per game this season, and he's been a big contributor to the Warriors' outside defense. ”

A casual pass from Valentine was cut off by Connor, and the Warriors launched a fast break.

Connor, a strong, unpretentious shooting guard, drove the ball all the way to the basket, evaded Valentin with an experienced time difference, and made an easy layup to add two more points to the Warriors. 31：24。

"Focus! Focus! Playing with momentum...... Fuck, these guys don't know what they're up to! Ramsey yelled anxiously on the sidelines, and at the same time he didn't understand how the team's form has been so bad lately, has it been hibernating?

Sauter's sudden departure not only did not put the Warriors in a slump, but made the Warriors play more energetically, and the Trail Blazers' scorer naturally stepped up.

Vandervic received a pass from Valentin at the top of the three-point line at the top of the arc, and then passed the ball to Sampson for a transition, but he pretended to cut inside but ran two steps to the right, and Sampson passed the ball back to Van Dewicki, who received the ball and shot directly.

Extremely simple tactics like this - this can't be called a tactic, in fact, it is very efficient in many cases, and the meaning of this kind of ball transfer is to allow players to find their favorite shooting points and shoot at their own accustomed shooting rhythm.

Of course, this efficiency is based on the personal ability of the scorer, who has strong personal ability and good hand, and this kind of shooting is no different from an open shot.

Van Dewic relied on this small cooperation to score more than ten points in a game, which is a very stable means of scoring.

But today's hand is really not good, in the past, this kind of one-step jumper inside the three-point line is now smashed heavily on the neck of the basket and collapsed far away.

"Vanderwig's jumper... Didn't score, but Gan got the rebound! Huge rebounding control range, passed back to Valentine, and the Trail Blazers reorganized the offense. Sampson is in the inside position, and the Warriors are in the middle! Sampson forced his shot, but the ball didn't go in...... The rebound was taken by the Warriors, and the Trail Blazers seemed to be in an offensive crisis. ”

After Valentin got the ball, he passed the ball to Sampson on the left, and Ramsey always stressed that when there was a problem with the attack, the tactics could not be played, either to Van der Veric or to Sampson.

But tonight, these two insurances are not used, Sampson was attacked by the Warriors' inside and outside, the Warriors' pinching is not fierce, which is a bit similar to the Lakers, mainly harassment, and does not lose the defensive position because of the pinching to leave a big vacancy.

The harassed Sampson did not choose to pass, but turned to the baseline and jumped, but the Warriors' basket seemed to have a lid, but it couldn't be shot, and the ball smashed on the left side and collapsed.

The Warriors fought again and quickly counterattacked, but Gan Guoyang delayed Connor when he returned to the defense to prevent the Warriors from getting up quickly, and the referee's whistle sounded.

"Gan was whistled for a blocking foul, and in the bad second quarter, Gan was still arguing with the referee, and he felt that he didn't foul the ball."

"I just got in the way from the side, the side, the side, I didn't do it!" Gan Guoyang is nagging with the referee, and he has now begun to learn to communicate with the referee. Instead of being blown and pulled down as it did at the beginning.

"He's advancing, you're violating him." The referee explained succinctly.

"I can violate him......" Gan Guoyang looked helpless, fortunately there was no zero tolerance at that time, otherwise he would have been blown for a technical foul with a "**" exit.

It doesn't help to say more, the referee won't change the decision like this, and the players are arguing more to vent and hopefully influence the referee's decision a little.

The Warriors send the sideline ball to continue the offense, and the Warriors' offensive tactics are simply like elementary school math in the United States, the inside line is raised to do double cover, the two guards take turns to break through, the inside line is either followed up or outside, and the small forward is waiting for an opportunity.

Now that Sauter is in the small forward position, Seaberdex's waiting for the opportunity is basically to shoot in the vacant position, and the defense will pass.

The Warriors' sharp knives were Floyd and Connor, one of them was fast and the other was strong, and they took the ball and stuck it in.

At that time, the breakthrough speed and impact of the guards could not be compared with the future generations, and they showed more stability in their dribbling skills, and they couldn't shake people to the north.

So when Floyd relied on the cover of Smith and Whitehead on the left side to rush into the interior and prepare to go straight to the left hand to the layup, Gan Guoyang was in front of him like a big tree.

Floyd is not a fool and will not force the inside, and he is not sure that he can win to attack Gan Guoyang, a rookie who averages 2.8 blocks per game.

But he wanted to stuff the ball to Whitehead with a ground pass, and since Gan Guoyang came to make up for the defense, Whitehead was naturally empty.

Gan Guoyang's eyes were quick, knowing that the inside line was empty, and once the ball came out, he would definitely lose points again, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, he stretched out his foot to block the passing route while Floyd passed the ball, and kicked the ball away.

"Beep!" Gan Guoyang's ball is an excellent defense of a goalkeeper on the football field, and it is naturally a kicking violation on the basketball court.

The referee was obviously not impressed by Gan Guoyang's wit, and gave Gan Guoyang a warning that he would suffer a technical foul if he did this again.

But Gan Guoyang's shot really ruined the Warriors' offensive feeling, and the Warriors re-served on the sideline, passed a few times, and found that there were no good offensive opportunities.

He passed the ball to Whitehead, who was also a typical vagabond player, swapping between teams and contributing points and rebounds per game.

However, after coming to the Warriors, the scoring and rebounding have reached a small peak, after all, the Warriors are really no one inside, and he has also become the team's starter.

It wasn't Gan Guoyang who defended him, but Sampson, Ramsay asked Sampson to defend the Warriors center, and then asked Gan Guoyang to fill the hole.

Sampson and Whitehead were both rookies in 1978, but Sampson was the top pick, Whitehead was a second-round pick, Sampson has been stable with the Trail Blazers as the top player, and Whitehead has wandered around.

However, in this game, at least so far, Whitehead has performed better than Sampson, and his several leaks and successful defense against Sampson have made the champion eat the turtle in the same period.

Of course, Sampson won't let Whitehead play casually, and Whitehead's singles ability is also very average, but when the time came, he had to throw it, so he turned over and made a jump shot.

The ball arced high and smashed into the basket, jumping high and not going in.

"Rebounding the ball, Gan Guoyang jumped high, no one could grab him...... Oh, he didn't pass the ball and went straight all the way through the half...... To be cut off... He dodged Floyd, dribbled beautifully, jumped, and went to the top with two guys for layups! …… The ball is in! Oh my God, Gan Guoyang's one-stop fast attack, the cheers of the fans at the scene, are even higher than the Warriors scoring goals! ”

"It was an incredible goal, and the Blazers, who missed back-to-back offenses in the second quarter, broke the deadlock with that ball."

It's really unexpected, Gan Guoyang didn't expect it himself, he just felt that the feeling was coming, and he rushed forward directly after winning the rebound.

Outside the three-point line, the Warriors' defense was not in a good position, Floyd wanted to grab it, Gan Guoyang used a beautiful and skillful back dribble to get over, blinding countless spectators.

Then John Smith knew that Gan Guoyang rushed in like this, and he couldn't stop it, so he wanted to stand up and make him an offensive foul, but Gan Guoyang cleverly dodged sideways, and then went to the basket with Whitehead, the ball bounced four or five times on the basket, and finally fell into the basket. At 31:26, the Trail Blazers scored.

Ramsey saw the ball next to him and didn't know what to say, what could he say? It's like this, it's nice to have someone score a goal, no matter how he got it.

It was the Trail Blazers benches, one by one, like lit firecrackers, who jumped up from the bench and waved towels.

"A beautiful goal, but it was also only two points, and the Trail Blazers had to solve the problem on offense, because from the last three minutes of the first quarter to the second two minutes, it was the first goal for the Blazers. They relied on a one-on-one fast attack from the center. ”

"Yes, and they're going to have to deal with the defense as well, and Gan has plenty of deterrence on the inside, but height is an issue, and their athleticism on the outside is even more of a concern."

The commentator's concern was justified, and after Gan Guoyang scored, the Warriors immediately launched a counterattack, and Sibberderks received a pass from Connor on the baseline and hit a 15-foot jumper.

Sibourdeks can score, and this way of scoring is what the Trail Blazers used to do, with the forward guard going fast on the wing, going inside and the point guard advancing quickly, either passing to the inside to the basket or to the wing to the mid-range.

Whether it is chasing points or opening up distance, this move can always make the opponent's life unable to take care of himself.

Now the Pioneer has been repaid by the Warriors in the same way.

At 33:26, the margin was stretched to seven points, and if the Trail Blazers fell behind in the first half, then they would be in danger.

At this time, Gan Guoyang finally stepped up, and he began to ask for the ball in the low post on the right side.

Sometimes people just have a kind of psychology, when they don't need it, others are not satisfied even if they give you a one-stop 5% off service; And when it's time to be hungry like a dog, you can pick up a photo of a woman and fly.

The current Trail Blazers are hungry and thirsty on offense, and everyone else is a little reluctant to attack, and they haven't scored much from the second half of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter.

In this development, it will become everyone playing drumming and passing flowers, whoever receives the last one in 24 seconds will throw it, throw it into it is easy to say, and if you can't throw it in, you will carry the black pot.

Fortunately, before this happened, Gan Guoyang pouted his ass and arched Whitehead under the basket, put on a posture of "shoot at me", and took the hot potato.

"Gan received the ball in the low post, turned over and hooked his hand, he seemed to be in a hurry...... But the ball went in, a hook from 12 feet away. "Once Gan Guoyang has a feeling in his hand, he doesn't need to adjust his hook shot.

Then, from the 4th minute to the 10th minute of the second quarter, what the commentator called the Trail Blazers offensive end turned out to be like this:

"Gan catches the ball in the low post and rolls over and hooks his hands...... Ball in! ”

"Gan took the ball in the middle and dribbled and made a layup...... He shook off two Warriors defenders. ”

"Gan holds the ball and breaks through from the right side and dunks with one hand! Nice break! ”

"Gan is at 15 feet, there is no time, directly hook the hand, and the ball goes in again!"

"Gan ran back, air relay! Nice dunk! ”

"There was a scuffle under the basket, Gan got the rebound, layup, missed, grabbed again, missed hit, grabbed again! Vote again! The ball is in! The referee's whistle also sounded, and the Warriors fouled on defense and added penalties! ”

……

"Gangay dropped Mitch Johnson's layup, Trail Blazers fast break! Colt Advances ...... How did he pass the ball back to Gan, Gan dribbled forward, drove straight in from the middle, jumped, and dunked from 15 feet! ”

"Oh~crazy~"
