In the 1989 season, the Detroit Pistons moved their home stadium to the newly built Auburn Hills Palace Arena, an arena that would host many of the Pistons' moments in the future, and the temporary Silver Dome Center is forever history, but this huge arena is indelible in the history of the Detroit Pistons, where they won their first championship in history.

When Gan Guoyang walked into the newly built Auburn Hills Palace Arena, he was still a little uncomfortable with the new facilities, which he had become accustomed to in the bad away locker room at the Silver Dome Center, and the old facilities and the pesky Pistons were a bad experience every time he came here.

It's just that when all this disappears, Gan Guoyang still feels a little missed, for a very simple reason, because every time he comes to the Silver Dome Center, Gan Guoyang can always burst out with strong combat power, which seems to be an unfriendly response here, just like Michael Jordan's outburst in Madison Garden Plaza.

Now, in the face of the new arena, Gan Guoyang is a little uncomfortable, and what makes him even more uncomfortable is the defense of the Pistons.

In yesterday's pre-game preparation meeting, Adelman made appropriate adjustments to the team's style of play in response to some of the problems that arose in the last game against the Bulls, and due to Drexler's absence, the Trail Blazers' fast-break strength was severely damaged.

The Trail Blazers relied heavily on Drexler's fast break in the first quarter of the game, and when both sides were in a tentative period, Drexler's fast break score was always easy to score points for his side, which not only saved physical strength, but also scored very efficiently, which is the opening rhythm that the Trail Blazers are very accustomed to.

In the absence of Drexler, relying on Cauchy and Porter alone, a quick counterattack is to be compromised, and in the face of the Detroit Pistons' strong defense, Adelman is worried about whether he can play a good offense in the first quarter to lay a good foundation for the rest of the game.

The outside line of the Trail Blazers is also facing a more severe test, that is, the Detroit Pistons' super backcourt offensive ability, the Pistons are a typical team that focuses on the outside line and the inside line, whether it is the starting Thomas and Dumas backcourt double guns, and the "microwave oven" Winnie Johnson and Aquili on the bench are all players with very strong personal offensive ability.

Therefore, Adelman's idea is very clear, that is, to put the focus of the attack on the inside line at the beginning, rely on Gan Guoyang and Sabonis, the two inner axes to open the situation, and take the strategy of focusing on the inside and assisting the outside.

This offensive routine and strategy is actually a tactical routine that Jack Ramsey likes to use in the past, but he failed to train Gan Guoyang to become Bill Wharton, and Gan Guoyang himself turned a good passer from the Soviet Union.

This offensive strategy is to maximize Gan Guoyang's role on the interior from the beginning of the first quarter, and to carry this line throughout, maintaining pressure on the Pistons inside from the beginning to the end.

There was nothing wrong with Adelman's thoughts, the problem was that his thoughts were broken by Chuck Daly and he was restrained from the start.

Daley's strategy is very simple, to control Gan Guoyang's catch, he didn't let Bill Lambier fight with Gan Guoyang, nor did he let John Sully, the big spider, cover Gan Guoyang, the bigger spider, "Million Daddy" Daley sacrificed his little magic weapon and used Dennis Rodman to deal with Gan Guoyang.

is very familiar with Rodman Gan Guoyang, but the current Rodman is not the Bulls No. 91 he is familiar with, the flower worm, at this time he is still a small sapper under Daley, and he did not become the team's starting small forward until a few games ago.

After Rodman entered the league in 1986, Gan Guoyang was absent for the whole season, so the two missed each other, and in the 1988 season, Rodman was still on the bench as a substitute.

Before the game, Daley carefully studied Gan Guoyang's game video, the coach who created the "Jordan Rule", also thought about how to deal with Gan Guoyang in his mind, he knew that what he needed to deal with Jordan was to control his space and keep him surrounded at any time.

But this trick is not so useful to Gan Guoyang, many teams have tried to cover Gan Guoyang with many people, and it has also worked, but in the end they all paid the price, and Daley quickly thought of the difference between dealing with Gan Guoyang and dealing with Jordan.

Jordan is an outside player, and the best time to defend Jordan is to use defensive traps to surround him when he is on the ball and attack, causing him to miss, not score, or simply foul him.

Gan Guoyang is an inside player, and countless games since 1986 have proved that when he gets the ball on the inside or starts to rush, it is useless to have any people, let Gan Guoyang get the ball at a distance of 17 feet, he can throw the ball into the basket, and if his hand comes, he will shoot and score.

Therefore, to deal with Gan Guoyang, you must prevent him from receiving the ball when he is not receiving the ball, pinch his receiving route, especially not let him find the feeling of hooking when he catches the ball, otherwise Gan Guoyang will not be able to get him when he feels the position near the horns.

The Pistons are also proficient in illegal defense, but no matter how proficient they are in illegal defense, fake joint defense, like Gan Guoyang this season, the interior line with a huge range of attacks, will really not be able to prevent him from receiving the ball for a while, and finally Daley decided to send Rodman to entangle Gan Guoyang.

At that time, Rodman, regardless of height, weight, strength, and talent, was inferior to Gan Guoyang, but he just highlighted the word "entanglement", from the first quarter of the game, he was like an octopus to entangle Gan Guoyang, go around the front, top people, and hit Gan Guoyang with his butt, while John Sully stepped forward at any time to block the passing line, and Bill Lambier was ready to yin people in the back.

Rick Mahon on the bench occasionally comes up to replace Rodman, the league's biggest striker has no other way but to play tricks, anyway, he will do whatever he wants to make Gan Guoyang uncomfortable.

As a result, from the first quarter, Adelman's offensive strategy was completely uncontrollable, although other players gained more offensive space, but the ball could not be passed to Gan Guoyang's hands, even if it was passed, Gan Guoyang was immediately caught by three people.

Sabonis, another interior line of the Trail Blazers, was completely confused, he was confused by Ranbill, Sabonis is by no means a good man when he plays, but Ranbier's experience is too rich, this seemingly stupid white center gave Sabonis a good lesson in center, teaching him what is small movements, what is trash talk, what is fanning the flames, what is dark arrows hurting people, what is kung fu basketball.

In fact, last night's teammates' exaggerated exaggeration of the Pistons' "dirty" led to the fear of the players, especially the young players, and they suffered psychologically without a fight.

A complete package down, with the cooperation of Mahon and Sully, Sabonis said nothing else, there were several more blood marks on his arm, even so, Sabonis still delivered 5 assists in the game, and led the Trail Blazers' offense in the second and third quarters.

In contrast, Gan Guoyang played very hard, this was the most difficult game he played this season, not to mention the focus on taking care of him, tonight he felt quite bad, and it seemed that all the scoring luck was used up in the game the day before yesterday.

In the whole game at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Gan Guoyang made zero of two three-point shots, 5 of 17 two-point shots, and 7 of 7 free throws, Gan Guoyang, who averaged 30.5 points per game in the season, only scored a little more than half of the game tonight, 17 points.

Gan Guoyang didn't catch the rebound well, the reason is very simple, even if Gan Guoyang grabbed the rebound, Dennis Rodman stuck to him, Rodman was basically a three-way escort to Gan Guoyang throughout the game, holding the ball one-on-one Gan Guoyang was not afraid of Rodman at all, and taught him to be a man every minute, but the problem is that with the cooperation of the Pistons' entire defensive system, Gan Guoyang has no good chance to shoot at all, and naturally he can't find a good offensive feeling.

The Trail Blazers, who were a mess on offense, couldn't hold up on the defensive end, and Mark Aquili played his best game since joining the Pistons, scoring 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting in 24 minutes off the bench, Pooh Johnson scoring 19 points on 9-of-16 shooting, Dumas scoring 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting, and three shots in the backcourt, with a shooting rate of more than 50 percent, and the Trail Blazers were a mess on the outside.

Finally, the Trail Blazers suffered one of the worst defeats of the season, and on the road, the brand new Auburn Hills Palace Arena, a 90-110, 20-point deficit returned, which became a stepping stone for the Detroit Pistons' new lineup to run in.
