"It's May 28th, Saturday, another game day, and welcome to CBS TV's live NBA show, I'm Dick Stockton, and tonight we're bringing you the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs, the Portland Trail Blazers on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be the fourth game of the series, and the current 2-1 score is currently high, with the Trail Blazers in the lead, and tonight I will be joined by our old friend, former Celtics champion player and coach, Tom Hayinthorne. Tom, let's talk about the clash that happened in the last game, the Trail Blazers paid a terrible price for it, the three main players couldn't play in today's game, and the Lakers paid just one Campbell, what do you think of this clash. ”

Stockton is also straight to the point, since the end of the game on the 26th, the whole country has been discussing this topic, most people think that this is a plot by Pat Riley, especially his move to replace Campbell at the end of the third quarter is too abnormal, you must know that in the playoffs Riley has always been known for being conservative and ruthless in the main force, and rarely sends fringe players, so Riley's surprise moves are not many.

Campbell didn't get a minute to play in the first round and semifinals, and Riley suddenly replaced Campbell, and Campbell caused a conflict as soon as he went up, which naturally caused public suspicion.

Of course, Riley will not admit this, he insisted after the game that it was an accident, he replaced Campbell because he saw that the third quarter was running out of time, and Worthy did not rest for a minute in the first three quarters, so he asked Campbell to go up for a while to buy some rest time for Worthy, as for Campbell's foul, Riley also claimed that it was an "unintentional move, and Campbell was also punished for his actions".

Portland fans naturally think Riley is farting, and Los Angeles except for Chinese fans, no one else has a problem with this, you must know that in the NBA in the 80s, such intrigues and intrigues are endless, others don't say, tonight's guest commentator Tom Hayin Thorne, his Boston Celtics did not do this kind of thing.

For example, in the 1984 finals, Auerbach created an "air conditioning incident", turning Boston Garden Square into a sauna pool in the summer, and Abdul-Jabbar, who was 37 years old at the time, was almost fainted by the heat; For example, in the 60s, Auerbach would ask the gym staff to adjust the tightness of the basket on both sides, and when the Celtics played the looser side of the basket, they would let the players speed up the offensive rhythm and shoot more quickly, and in the second half, the Celtics would switch to a tighter basket and focus on the positional offense, slowly grinding; Or the parquet floors in the Garden Square can also become a weapon for the red heads, and those specially treated floors will make the racket unable to bounce on it, and if one is not careful, the opponent will contribute to the Celtic mistake.

When he was fighting against Chamberlain at Celtic, Auerbach instructed Heinsohn not to go down quickly when he retreated, but to block in front of Chamberlain to prevent him from retreating, and finally once Chamberlain, who had always had a good temper, couldn't hold back anymore and almost fought with Heinsohn.

Hearing Stockton's words, Tom Heinsohn thought for a while, as a player of the Lakers' rival, he was 100% sure in his heart that Riley must have played tricks, after all, his tricks are far from the red head, and he will be seen through at a glance, but on TV, Heinsohn must also save some face for Riley, after all, not everything can be said on TV, so he said: "It's hard to judge what happened to this accident now, but one thing is for sure, the Lakers benefited from this conflict, And the Trail Blazers have suffered a lot of losses, and I think this incident will have a profound impact on the series, and even on the outcome of the entire season. ”

Heinsohn's words are not flawed, but he is also suggesting that the Lakers benefit from the conflict, and the beneficiary is likely to be the implementer of the plan, which is a small pinch for the Lakers.

But Heinsohn's later words also make sense, this clash is not only changing the trend of a game, but may also change the outcome of a series or even an entire season, and the Trail Blazers' efforts for a season are likely to be in vain.

Just when the two were talking on TV, Gan Guoyang was also chatting with an old friend on the sidelines, no one thought that Michael Jackson, the superstar, would come to watch Gan Guoyang's game at this time, because in 1987-1988, Jackson had just completed his world tour, a total of 123 concerts all over the world, the number of viewers and income have set a Guinness World Record, at this time he has become a well-deserved king of pop.

In 1989, Jackson fell into silence, apparently he was working his next album, so he tried to reduce his participation in public events as much as possible and devote more time to music, so his appearance at the Great Western Forum Arena also caused a great sensation, many viewers tried to come to Jackson for autographs, and Gan Guoyang and Magic Johnson were left out in the cold.

Magic and Jackson are also very good friends with each other, Magic also followed the Jackson brothers to participate in the concert tour when he was a rookie, Gan Guoyang came to Los Angeles for the first time after entering the NBA, and he also had dinner with Johnson with Jackson, but in tonight's game, Michael Jackson is obviously on Gan Guoyang's side, although he is in Los Angeles, he has always been a fan of the Trail Blazers.

Gan Guoyang also chatted with Jackson before the game, and all the reporters took pictures of the two with their cameras, trying to guess what the two were talking about.

"I still prefer McDonald's to KFC, the taste of KFC stuff is too monotonous, not as rich as McDonald's."

"Oh no, McDonald's has too much beef, it's higher in calories than chicken, I'm going to dance, I need to stay in shape, chicken is a better choice."

If a reporter hears what they are talking about, they must vomit blood, they don't talk about the game, they don't talk about music, but they are discussing who tastes better between KFC and McDonald's, to everyone's surprise, Michael Jackson's favorite food is KFC's fried chicken, Gan Guoyang is tired of eating a lot of KFC in China in later generations, in comparison, he still prefers McDonald's.

Just like the content of their chat, Gan Guoyang's current mentality is still quite relaxed, although the absence of the three main players has cast a shadow on the Trailblazers, but for Gan Guoyang, who has experienced many years of ups and downs, this difficulty is nothing, as long as he can stand on the field, he has the confidence to lead the team to defeat each other, in his opinion, this situation is better than his own injury in 1986, and then watch the team lose.

When the warm-up was over and the players on both sides began to play, the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers really scared Lakers fans.

"We look at the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers, the starting center is Kevin Duckworth, power forward, rookie Mark Bryant, small forward...... They used Gan, shooting guard, Jim Paxson, point guard Terry Porter! They give the small forward to a center to play! Although Gan has good outside shooting ability, let him play small forward...... "Dick Stockton is also messy about this.

"My guess is that Gan must be taking on the role of small forward in defense, to fill the hole caused by Worthy's absence, and then on offense, Gan will still be the team's power forward, but in this way, Mark Bryant will have a heavier task, and he will also have to adapt to the role switch on both the offensive and defensive ends."

Heinsohn was still quick to guess Adelman's intentions, and after careful study and rehearsal in training, Adelman decided to send on Mark Bryant and make him a starter.

It was a very bold decision to put a rookie on the brink of such a crucial match, and the young man who looked like Akagi Goken walked onto the court during the DJ's introduction, looking a little nervous, his lips pursed, his eyes not squinted, and his heart was beating wildly.

At this time, someone came up and slapped him, Bryant looked back, it was Gan Guoyang who was the last to play, Gan Guoyang looked relaxed, and he said to Bryant: "Don't be nervous, you just remember two things, grab the rebound, pass the ball to me, and you can forget about the rest." ”

"Grab the rebound, pass the ball to Gan, grab the rebound, pass the ball to Gan......" Mark Bryant this guy was silently saying this sentence in his heart, he never thought that he would stand in the starting position this season for such a reason, and after coming to the Trail Blazers before, he was ready to stay on the bench for two seasons.

He didn't get any starts in the regular season, and he didn't get much time off the bench, which was not enough for him to cherish every little bit of time, to be able to contribute 4 points and 3 rebounds, and whether it was garbage time or not, he would do his best, which is why Adelman ended up using him out of the ordinary - he worked hard, he fought hard.

Before the start of the series, the Trail Blazers were in the position of the strong to face the Lakers, and now they are back to the position of the underdog to challenge the opponent, and only the fighting style of play can the Trail Blazers have a chance to win.

"The game is about to start, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers will start Game 4, whether the Trail Blazers take a 3-1 lead to get the match point, or the Lakers win and return to the same running line, let the players on both sides tell us!"
