The Trail Blazers' hard work in the first half was all for naught in two minutes, one three-pointer, one steal, two fast breaks, the Lakers completed the turnaround in the shortest possible time in the most relaxed way, and Magic Johnson seemed to have real magic, turning the court upside down in an instant.

The Trail Blazers players obviously haven't slowed down, and the players were still cheering each other on at halftime, but when they arrived on the court, they were a little stunned.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Adelman decisively called a timeout, and the Great Western Forum Arena was suddenly a lot more lively, and Lakers fans seemed to feel that the Trail Blazers were going to be unable to hold on in the third quarter.

"The Lakers' counterattack came so quickly, and I think the Trail Blazers players haven't come out of that slow pace in the first half, and they were a little dizzy by the Lakers all of a sudden." Dick Stockton is also very impressed with the Lakers' fast-playing whirlwind offense, and since 1986, the Lakers' lineup built entirely with Magic as the core can bring such exciting offensive shockwaves in every game.

"The Trail Blazers have some problems in the backcourt, and I think Porter and Paxson's stamina will be a big problem." And Tom Heinsohn pointed out the problem with the Trail Blazers at once, and yes, Porter and Paxson were indeed a little tired.

Although the game has just entered the third season, Paxson played the whole first half, and he is already a 34-year-old veteran, most of the games this season have been used as a substitute, a game playing time of about 25 minutes, this game he is likely to play the whole game, which will be a huge test of his physical strength.

And Terry Porter moved a number of fast-forward offenses in the first half, and the physical exertion was also very large, after all, in addition to him, the Trail Blazers did not have a third stable offensive point with the ball, and now in the second half, the Trail Blazers with physical problems were beaten into a fast break by the Lakers, and at the same time, they couldn't prevent the Magic's breakthrough, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Trail Blazers.

Adelman was also aware of the problem, and after weighing it up, he decided to keep Porter and Paxson on the court, but at the same time he replaced Mark Bryant with Danny Young, which means he sacrificed a back three.

This is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of ordinary people, the Lakers' backcourt height and arm span are among the best in the league, and with Danny Young, who will defend AC Green? Or who's going to defend Worthy? Who is going to defend against the magician? So when the Trail Blazers ended the timeout and returned to the court, Dick Stockton felt that the Trail Blazers were committing suicide.

"Adelman is on Danny Young! The height of the Trail Blazers' backcourt has been lowered again, and the three guards, you must know that the Lakers' backcourt height is about the same as that of the three forwards, and playing like this is tantamount to suicide, or does Adelman have other ideas? ”

Everyone doesn't know if Adelman has any other ideas, but everyone knows what he thinks on the offensive end, that is, to pull away all of them to feed Gan Guoyang.

"Danny Young possessed the ball past half court, Johnson was defending him, Danny Young was too small to be trapped! The ball still came out, Gan came out to respond, Gan took the ball and broke through directly from the right side, and dunked directly with one hand! Oh! Gan even dribbled the ball only once! ”

Gan Guoyang saw that Danny Yang was going to be forced by the magic to pass the ball, so he ran to the right side to answer, and turned around directly after receiving the ball, unlike other insiders, other insiders who took the ball in this position must have turned around and walked to the bottom line to dribble and force a layup, but Gan Guoyang didn't, he didn't give the Lakers a chance to make up for the defense, grabbed the ball with one hand after receiving the ball, slapped the ball, and dunked directly with one hand after a big stride!

"It reminds me of Dr. J. Irving, the dunk on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's head." Gan Guoyang's dunk is indeed the same as Irving's previous dunk, and in fact, those who have a clear memory should know that Gan Guoyang also used such a dunk when he faced the Lakers in his rookie season, which was amazing.

This kind of goal does not give the opponent a chance to defend at all, which is also Gan Guoyang's consistent style, some superstars are the kind of people who think you have defended with all your strength, but he can still score, such as Michael Jordan, and Gan Guoyang is the kind of person you don't have a chance to use at all, he throws the ball in.

The reason for this difference is that Gan Guoyang, as a Chinese player, no matter how good his physical fitness is, it is impossible to reach the level of blacks, but his rich and unique offensive methods, combined with excellent offensive options and a touch against the sky, will make the opponent feel that powerful and ineffective.

The Lakers soon scored, and Byron Scott received a pass from the Magic on the outside and hit a three-point shot, and the Trail Blazers were shrinking and shrinking due to the three-guard.

But Gan Guoyang immediately returned the ball, he received a pass from Paxson at the 15-foot position and turned around and hit a hook shot, and the AC-Green who defended him was first shaken, and then lost the center of gravity of the defense, and finally could only watch Gan Guoyang hook the shot.

"If you want to prevent me, learn not to jump first." Gan Guoyang pointed at Green after scoring a goal and said, and Green looked numb, anyway, he was sprayed by Gan Guoyang a lot, so he could only be inaudible, but he also remembered this sentence in his heart, thinking that he must be careful of his feints next time.

Soon, the game entered a tug-of-war, the see-saw between the Lakers and Gan Guoyang, the Magic tried his best to find opportunities for his teammates, and once he found an offensive opportunity, he would never be soft; The rest of the Trailblazers are creating all kinds of opportunities for Gan Guoyang to play singles.

At this time, the point of the three guards is revealed, there is one more guard, their transmission of the ball on the outside, feeding the ball to Gan Guoyang is much smoother, and the three of them can also open up enough space, because once the Lakers are trapped, Gan Guoyang passes the ball to Porter or Paxson, their three-point can really hit, with Danny Young, Porter and Paxson's ball-holding tasks have also been reduced a lot, even if the physical strength cannot be recovered on the court, the loss can be slower.

Lakers fans soon realized, the suppressive counterattack they were expecting never came, every time the Lakers scored a beautiful goal, their brewing emotions were always disrupted by Gan Guoyang's clean single, so that later the fans were used to it, and the two sides were in a tug-of-war between you and me.

In fact, the Lakers' players also want to prevent Gan Guoyang, but whether it is Abdul-Jabbar, AC-Green or Sampson who came off the bench on the inside, there is no way to take Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang's offensive point is stable in the 6o degree area of the front, breaking through the middle, arc top jumper, wing hook, and frontcourt rebounding leakage, his shot is extremely fast, the action is extremely clean, and does not give the defender any time to react.

In the words of Tom Heinsohn, "Gan is already immersed in his own attacking rhythm and can't help himself. ”

15 points, 17 points, 2o points, 22 points...... Gan Guoyang's scoring in the third quarter was rising, and when he made a three-pointer in the 11th minute, his third-quarter score had reached an astonishing 25 points, only 6 points away from his record for the highest score in a single quarter, and Pat Riley on the sidelines finally couldn't stand the team's letting Gan Guoyang score like this, so angry that he slammed the tactical board in his hand to the ground, and then asked the referee for a timeout, although the third quarter was about to end.

"The Lakers' timeout, this is a magical game! Gan alone represented the entire team of the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers scored 34 points in a single quarter, of which Gan alone scored 25 points! 25 points! This is the record for scoring in a single quarter of the playoffs, and Gan has scored 52 points in the whole game, and the third quarter of the game is just about to end. Gan Guoyang scored 17 points in the first quarter, 1o points in the second quarter, and 25 points in the third quarter, Gan Guoyang scored 52 points from the Great Western Forum in the third quarter.

Riley was already a little crazy at this time, the magician's swing was good enough, and the other players were all at a normal level, but no one could withstand such a stable output of such a turret in his own three-second zone, Riley almost roared and asked the inside players to prevent Gan Guoyang from killing with all his might.

The third quarter ended quickly, Gan Guoyang did not go to rest again, the game went to such a moment, Adelman did not dare to put Gan Guoyang on the bench easily, maybe he sat on the bench for two minutes The Lakers can completely pull the score away, at this time the Trail Blazers only trailed the Lakers by one point 84:85.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally began to desperately wrap up Gan Guoyang, Green, Cooper, Wohlridge, the three most ferocious players in the Lakers' defense were all used to deal with Gan Guoyang, carrying out escort-style defense, Gan Guoyang is not a god after all, and under such defense, his shooting rate also began to decline.

However, Adelman knew that the Lakers were going to fight, and the Trail Blazers also started to fight, Mark Bryant returned to the court, Duckworth also replaced Sabonis, and the veteran Paxson, who ran for three quarters without a break, returned to the bench, and Brans came on, which was completely a defensive lineup, and the Trail Blazers began to stop at all costs to cut off the Lakers' offense.

Like a gladiator in a life-and-death duel, after a long time of fighting, both sides lost too much blood and could not hold their weapons, and finally began hand-to-hand combat with their fists and teeth to kill their opponents.

"The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides is like watching a boxing match! Foul again! Mark Bryant's foul, which was his fourth foul of the game, it seems that the Lakers don't want to score easily under the basket. ”

…………

"Gan forced a layup! There are three people hanging from them! The ball still went in! Foul, Wohlridge's foul! Gan has a scar on his arm, and now he is going to stand on the free throw line, maybe the Lakers themselves didn't expect that this game would be played to such a point. ”

The time has come to fight for their lives, maybe the Trail Blazers are still inferior to the Lakers in terms of winning, but the Lakers are now facing one of the biggest problems, that is, they underestimated the Portland Trail Blazers' determination to win this game at the beginning, and they took it for granted that the Trail Blazers would give up this game because of the loss of players and go back to Portland to play Tianwang Mountain, but they didn't know that Gan Guoyang had vowed to win this away with his teammates before the game, and then returned to Portland to end the series.
