(I finished this chapter under the harassment of my wife, so it may be in a hurry, this is a very exciting game in history, I still haven't expanded and written, because it is too much pen and ink, and more exciting should be saved for the playoffs.) ）

“sunny-gump！ Buckled down Parish's head! He hadn't given up yet, as if he was still talking about it, and we saw an angry look on Parrish's face, which is really rare in a game, and he must have been provoked by Gan. It was the fourth shot of the third quarter in which Gan suddenly became possessed by God in the final three minutes of the third quarter, and he attacked from near the three-point line like a guard, and he even threw in a 19-foot mid-range shot. That's not good news for Celtic. ”

Most's words were full of anxiety, and the game reached a white-hot situation at the end of the third quarter, when the Trail Blazers' offense was repeatedly blocked, Gan Guoyang, as a center, could not receive passes from his teammates, and he simply began to attack directly with the ball himself.

The Celtics were unprepared for an attack like Gan's, and Robert Parish's height advantage turned into a disadvantage in footwork and speed at this time, and he couldn't keep up with Gan's footsteps on the outside.

And Gan Guoyang showed everyone his outstanding ball ability and amazing dribbling skills, and even his head coach Ramsey sighed that Gan Guoyang's combination of man and ball really doesn't look like a center.

He can start dribbling from beyond the three-point line, throw past Robert Parrish, then turn the back basket with his face, run in twice, and go straight to the hook; You can also feint, tentative step, point Parrish up a little, and then rush to the basket for a layup; You can also stage a one-step pass with the ball in one hand, and split the buckle with one arm.

No one understands how Gan Guoyang, who played like Bill Wharton in the first half, suddenly became Larry Nance in the last three minutes of the second half?

But Gan Guoyang did it, and the resentment in his heart was vented in his roar with that button.

Of course, Gan Guoyang himself knew that his ability was based on the "talent" he had obtained, but he also knew that he had such a technique, which came from his persistent and continuous practice.

On the uphill and downhill in San Francisco, in the streets of Palo Alto, on the campus of Gonzaga University, he always carried that skin?? Balls running around.

Even when he grew to 6-foot-10 and became a true center, he never relaxed these exercises, and a player named "Durant" in later generations always inspired Gan Guoyang to learn more skills - in 2011, when Gan Guoyang crossed, Durant had grown to 6'11".

"The game in the third quarter was over, 96-96 draw, amazing scoring explosion, the third quarter game was really exciting, Bird's outburst, McHale's awakening, and Gan's amazing scoring streak, let's see who else will burst out with special energy in this intense game. In the fourth verse, let's wait and see. ”

Although the game ended in a tie in the third quarter, the Celtics actually won the Trail Blazers by 13 points in this quarter, and if it wasn't for Gan Guoyang's explosion in the last three minutes, plus Larry Bird's rest, the devil knows if it would be the Celtics leading now.

"We played well, we can't hold them down forever, but they don't want to knock us down with one punch! Steady, substitute players, be sure to bite the score, give the main players plenty of time to rest, and make the final sprint! Ramsey said to the Trail Blazers' bench players.

In fact, the situation on the court in the third quarter still disrupted Ramsey's deployment, according to his plan, the Trail Blazers should enter the fourth quarter with a certain advantage in the third quarter, and it is best to replace the main team at the end of the third quarter to rest, so that the bench can survive the third quarter.

However, McHale's overturning on the inside line made Ramsey dare not replace Gan Guoyang and Sampson, he knew that McHale must not be completely opened, let him open, and the Trail Blazers will almost be finished.

So Gan Guoyang and Sampson both played the third quarter, and now at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he must let these two interior players get a rest.

And can the Kenny Carr plus Norris combination hold up? He was very worried, both of these people had a fatal flaw, that is, they were too short, one was 6'10 and the other was 6'9, could they hold the three-second zone?

He swept his eyes to the end of the bench and saw a figure that he had rarely noticed.

"Scheffler, warm up, get ready to play."

Tom Scheffler, the Trail Blazers' 12th man, averages no more than two points per game, and the main playing time of each game is focused on the "final moments" of the game, provided that the game is no longer in suspense.

But now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the beginning of the fourth quarter will be a very difficult time for both sides, and whoever can start to control the situation in the fourth quarter will have the advantage in the game.

Scheffler hesitated, but took off his jacket and warmed up on the sidelines, preparing to play as the center of the Trail Blazers.

"Come on Tom, if you want to come back alive, I still need you to be my sparring partner." Gan Guoyang saw that Schaeffler was ready to play, and he said with a smile.

Scheffler just smiled, but his smile was a little stiff, obviously he was a little nervous, as a thirty-year-old rookie, he really hadn't seen any big scenes.

Scheffler, Colter, Cossey, Vanderwicz, and Valentin made up the Trail Blazers' lineup in the fourth quarter, which was another strange lineup.

They only play on the inside line of Scheffler, the other players are all outside, Vanderwich can barely play the big forward, this is a big four small lineup, and this big strength is really a bit poor.

The inside line of the Celtics is Channing and McHale, and if Scheffler uses it to deal with McHale, he really doesn't know if it will be enough for McHale to swallow in one bite.

"Come on Schaeffler! You can do it! Gan Guoyang shouted encouragement to Schaeffler.

"The Trail Blazers' coach sent their twelfth man, Tom Scheffler, does that mean giving up early? Bring in all their bench caretakers, there's still a quarter of the game. "Most also didn't learn the lessons of the second quarter of the first half and continued to mock the Trail Blazers' substitution strategy.

But this time Ramsey really didn't have any tricks, he was completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he hoped that Scheffler would go up and rely on his height to last a minute or two in the three-second zone.

"The Trail Blazers serve, Colt, give Drexler, pass again, Vanderwich, receive the ball in the low post, does he want to single McHale? The feint did not deceive McHale, forced the shot! The ball didn't score...... Schaeffler picks up the rebound under the basket and shoots! didn't enter, he was in too much of a hurry...... Grabbed the rebound again! Successful layup! Oh, Schaeffler threw himself and stumbled the ball in. ”

The first goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter turned out to be scored by Schaeffler! It seems that there are benefits to growing taller, he took a good position in the three-second zone, and basically didn't jump much, the ball fell into his hands, and he ended up with two rebounds and two points.

"Well done Tom!" Gan Guoyang was more excited than anyone else off the court, and Schaeffler was training with Gan Guoyang for the past few days, and the two quickly became good friends.

However, two points and two rebounds are Schaeffler's full-court stats, and he will not have such a good opportunity to shoot and steal himself in the future.

And on defense, he was no match for McHale at all, and McHale completely crushed Schaeffler's confidence with a beautiful layup behind his feet.

After four minutes, Scheffler finally completed his task and was replaced by Gan Guoyang, who scored two points, two rebounds and two fouls at 106:109, with the Celtics leading by three points.

In the last eight minutes of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang experienced for the first time what is called basketball purgatory in Boston Garden Square, but in this cold winter night, he felt that he was about to run out of breath.

The steaming stadium, the huge sound wave, the crazy fans, and the tireless opponent, Gan Guoyang felt as if he was pressing tens of thousands of tons of big stones on his head.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on." Gan Guoyang, who played for the first time in this devil's home field, felt that his brain was about to explode, and he repeatedly reminded himself that he must hold on.

'We're three minutes before the end of the game, hold on, we're still a point ahead.' In the final moments, the Trail Blazers finally played a tough offense and tenacious defense, and forced the score to overtake.

Everybody was sweating, everybody was panting, it was the toughest game the Trail Blazers had this season, the hardest, and none of the games that beat the Lakers were so painful for them.

And the Celtics players are also uncomfortable, Larry Bird has performed like a god, he scored 25 points alone in the second half, and has scored 41 points in the whole game, but his invincible individual performance still did not completely break the Trail Blazers, but made the opponent more and more courageous.

"Drexler was on the ball, he was looking for chances, he had to hold steady in the moments, he was dribbling, he was jumping, he was shooting...... The ball is in! Oh my gosh, Drexler's shot went in! ”

In the last two minutes of the game, Drexler made an 18-foot shot from the outside, widening the gap between the two sides to 3 points.

The Celtics immediately called a timeout, and the Trail Blazers players stepped forward to hug Drexler, Ramsey was speechless, and the performance of Gan Guoyang and Drexler today made him wonder if he had restricted them too much in the past.

But now, he doesn't have time to reflect on it, and the heat of the game has left him with no time to think about it, and he has to plan the tactics that are less than two minutes in the last two minutes.

The timeout ended, and the two sides engaged in a final two-minute deathmatch.

"Bird holds the ball, breaks through, turns, throws with his left hand...... The ball is in! The ball is in! It also caused a foul on Gan! Penalties! ”

"Gan, with the ball in the low post, he and McHale were out of place...... Turned, broke through McHale's defense, and dunked with one hand! caused a foul on Parrish...... Oh my God, he's going to be punished too. ”

"Bird, got trapped, passed...... He didn't pass the ball and it was a feint...... Step-back jumper...... The ball is in! Celtic are still one point behind. ”

…………

“…… Gan got off Bird's layup! Drexler Break Out! Gan rushed to the front...... Relay in the air! They're overtaking again! There were 29 seconds left until the end of the race. ”

"Bird, take the ball in the low post, roll over and jump back...... Ball in! He did it! I can't remember how many times this is the first time! ”

"Gan, also in the low post, he passed, Drexler cut in the air! Layup went in...... Two seconds left, two seconds left, oh my God. ”

Most almost had a heart attack in the final moments, because the scene was so intense, the two sides alternated leads, and the score was already 127-126, and the Trail Blazers took a one-point lead in the final two seconds, and the situation was very good.

Two seconds, two seconds later, and the Trail Blazers could leave Boston with a win while maintaining their record of leading the first half without losing.

Two seconds is fast, but two seconds can happen a lot.

The Celtic timeout ended when they served on the right touchline and two men surrounded Bird, but could not stop Bird's catch.

“... bird－upfakes,bird－takes－the－shot... its－good!its－good!!! oh－my－goodness!!! i－cant－believeit!!! it－is－good－from－the－corner!ohmy!!! hat－a－magnificent－finish－to－this－ballgame!bird!!! bird－from－the－corner!!! birddidit!!!”

(Bird, step-back shot, Bird shoots this ball!!) That's great!! That's great!! Oh my God!! I can't believe it!! A great shot from the corner!! What a magnificent ending!! Balls thrown from the corner!! Bird did it!! ）

ps: That's the real ending of the game, and the last is also the original commentary, which is one of Most's classic commentary, if you are interested, you can search for this game, and at the same time in Bird's highlights, Bird faced two people in the bottom left corner of the big backward shot, which was the killer ball. ）
