Just as the Trail Blazers were playing the Rockets at home, in the Eastern Half of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls were taking on the Washington Bullets on the road.

The game was played more than an hour earlier than the Trail Blazers and Rockets, and the game was drawing to a close, with the Washington Bullets leading the Bullets by 10 points at home by 116-106, and the result was no longer in doubt.

David Stern will try to pick an important game to watch on every match day, and the number of games to watch is predetermined.

So Stern was there tonight at the Capital Center in Washington, but he didn't get to see a performance that pleased him because Michael Jordan was injured and the season was out of business.

As early as the third game after the start of the season, Jordan fractured a bone in his left foot against the Golden State Warriors, which directly caused him to be unable to play for the rest of the regular season.

This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Bulls and the league, and it also makes Stern worry about the future of the superstar.

For Stern, in addition to coming to see the Bulls and Bullets in the field, he had the more important task of selecting a few footage of the season's games and sending them to the country across the Pacific that has a huge potential market.

This game is one of the games that Stern has finalized before the season, as the Bulls have Jordan and the Bullets have visited China, so the game between the two teams is undoubtedly a good fit.

It's just that Jordan's unexpected reimbursement made Stern decide to re-select the game.

"How's that game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets going?" After leaving the arena with the audience, Stern came to his car and asked about the driver.

"It's still in progress, half-time has just ended, and Gan has already scored thirty points......" The driver looked back at Stern, and after saying the number, he wanted to see what Stern would look like.

To his disappointment, there was no trace of fluctuation on Stern's face, and he looked unusually calm, as if he would not move his eyebrows even if Gan Guoyang scored 100 points in the half.

"Good, good, I should have picked this game...... Originally wanted to use their game against the Lakers. Stern nodded.

Sending the game video to China, of course, Stern will not forget Gan Guoyang, he originally wanted to pick a video of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, but in the two games between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers since the beginning of the season, although Gan Guoyang played well, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers.

In the video sent to China, there are already Lakers in the Finals against the Celtics in '85, so there is no need to further highlight the Lakers.

And hearing that Gan Guoyang scored 30 points in the half, Stern knew that even if the Trail Blazers couldn't win the Rockets in this game, this battle would definitely be Gan Guoyang's classic battle, and the performance and data would definitely not be bad.

At this time, Gan Guoyang, who was playing against the Rockets on the court, of course, would not know what was in Stern's mind, and the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets in the third quarter had already begun.

In the first half, Gan Guoyang only rested for 2 minutes, and the other 22 minutes have been fighting on the field, winning in being young and strong, and Gan Guoyang in the second half looked tired and continued to run back and forth on the field.

"Rockets counterattack, McGregory pull-up jump shot! The ball didn't go in, the backcourt rebounded! Gan got the backcourt rebound, steady, and the pace should be slow. ”

After the start of the third quarter, the Rockets trailed the Trail Blazers by 12 points in the first half at 60:72, and accelerated the offensive tempo, hoping to catch up with the score in a short time as soon as the second half began.

But they were destroyed several times in a row on fast breaks, in which Gan Guoyang contributed two blocks and firmly controlled the backcourt rebound, if it weren't for the Trail Blazers' counterattack also had a low success rate, and Olajuwon held the basket stubbornly, the score gap between the two sides would only widen.

"The Trail Blazers were going to play a success rate, and the third quarter was nearly four minutes into it, and the two sides only scored three and four points, respectively, and the Trail Blazers still led by 11 points...... Looking at the ball, Gan and Valentin made a block, Valentin passed the ball to Gan, Gan faked and shook Olajuwon, and broke through the middle to make a left-handed layup! Ralph Sampson fouls, Gan scores! Pretty! Two plus one! ”

Gan Guoyang and Valentin made a skillful blocking and dismantling coordination at the top of the arc, and after the two disassembled, Gan Guoyang moved horizontally to the middle to receive the ball and prepare for a jumper.

Gan Guoyang has hit a number of mid-range shots in this game, which made Olajuwon finally start to fear his jump shot, and was deceived by Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang directly held the ball in the middle of the rush, a change of hands dribble, he failed to pass Sampson directly, but against Sampson and then with his left hand layup, the two collided and fell to the ground, Gan Guoyang threw his left hand casually before falling to the ground, the ball flew to the basket, and finally stumbled into the net, a dribble.

"Well done." Valentin stepped forward and pulled Gan Guoyang up and said to him.

"You're also passing beautifully." Gan Guoyang also said to Valentine.

With Gan Guoyang hitting a free throw, the three-point shot was successful, and the difference between the two sides came to 14 points.

For teams that have been behind the score, if the opponent has a stable scoring point that cannot be solved, then chasing points will become difficult, and every time they score a goal, the opponent can easily return one by relying on singles, this psychological blow is self-evident.

Especially in the crucial third quarter, the third quarter is a very test of the player's physical strength and mental state, often the section that sets the tone or turns the situation around, once there is no way to change the situation in this quarter, the difficulty will be even greater in the fourth quarter.

"Olajuwon catches the ball, shakes, rolls over and jumpers! The ball went in and his footsteps were really deceptive. 'Olajuwon started to feel better in the second half and every time he got the ball, once he got into his rhythm, the shooting percentage was quite high.

But after a two-point shot, the Rockets still trailed the Trail Blazers by 11 points at 80-91, no different from the start of the third quarter, when the game was almost over.

"Gan got the ball on the right side and I felt like the Rockets coach was shaking because he knew what was going to happen next...... Gan turned around and hooked hands! Ball in! Hollow into the net! Catch up with the Rockets' pinch! The difference is 13 points again! Oh my God, Feige was pressing his head, he didn't know what to do. ”

Gan Guoyang knew that the Rockets' pinch attack was about to come up, he didn't pass the ball, but decisively dribbled inward, and then turned outside to catch the big hook, and in one go, before John Lucas's slap reached over and pulled the ball, he hit.

"Two more points, Gan has already scored 42 points, he scored 12 points in the third quarter, is he going to score 60 points in this game? The incomparably big guy, completely crushed the Twin Towers, and he tore the city apart! ”

Sean Lee shouted the classic "rip-city" again, Gan Guoyang crushed the powerful twin towers with his performance, Olajuwon played reasonably well, with 25 points and 11 rebounds so far, while Sampson only had 5 points and a pitiful three rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Rockets by 15 points at 98-83, and as long as they didn't make too many mistakes in the fourth quarter, they could basically win.

"Gan, are you still going to play? If 42 points isn't enough, you can go up and play for a while. While sitting on the sidelines, Ramsay asked Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang felt that Ramsey had some thorns in his words, as if he wanted to score points.

'A 15-point advantage is not safe, and if you don't have confidence in your formation, it's better to keep me on the pitch. Gan Guoyang also responded angrily.

Ramsey's face is obviously not good-looking, Gan Guoyang has blatantly broken Ramsey's rotation routine in this game, and he also played the third quarter in the second half.

"Then you just stay and you can take any data you want." Ramsay seems to have "succumbed".

Gan Guoyang was so angry when he heard Ramsay's words that he shook off the towel covering his head, stood up and yelled at Ramsay: "I'm trying to win!" I don't know who is to blame for the six consecutive defeats! If you can throw the burden off your shoulders for the sake of the contract, I wish you had pressed me to the bench and read the newspaper! ”

After speaking, Gan Guoyang took off his sportswear, ignored Ramsey's reaction and walked directly onto the court, and the game in the fourth quarter was about to start.

All that was left on the bench was the stunned Trail Blazers and some fans who didn't know what was going on.

Ramsey listened to Gan Guoyang's words, but he was not angry, he looked at Gan Guoyang's back on the field, but there was a lot of helplessness in his eyes, and there was a trace of pain.

The imminent end of the losing streak doesn't seem to make the old coach happy, and no one knows why this old man who loves basketball so much has become like this.

In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers ushered in the final counterattack of the Rockets, and Gan Guoyang did his best to plug any hole in the defensive line and interfere with every shot of the opponent.

However, Gan Guoyang is not an iron player after all, and his physical strength has finally been affected, and the most direct manifestation is that the shooting rate on the offensive end has begun to decline.

He scored six points on 3-of-8 shooting in the fourth quarter and finished the game at 48 points.

The Rockets also failed to seize the opportunity to turn the tables, and they narrowed the gap to 5 points at one point, but the Trail Blazers, who had already played with momentum, finally relied on the play of the whole team and maintained the advantage until the end, ending an embarrassing six-game losing streak with a 127-117, 10-point advantage.

Gan Guoyang's 48 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 assists were quickly fed back to Stern, and the game footage will be saved by Stern and ready to be sent to Beijing.
