The Houston Rockets scored two points on Olajuwon's sneak basket and took a one-point lead after the official timeout.

Gan Guoyang was scolded by Ramsay because he was thinking about the mess of advanced questions about "fate" in his mind, and he leaked a big gap.

"Concentrate, don't think about messy things, there's still a long game to go." At this time, Mitchell Sampson reminded Gan Guoyang Dao.

This is also the first time that Sampson, as a senior, has mentioned Gan Guoyang on the court, and Gan Guoyang nodded vigorously after hearing it.

Since high school, Gan Guoyang has occasionally had a stinky problem of wandering on the field, which may be the sequelae of the crossing, he always thinks about some mysterious and mysterious problems, and sometimes there is a trance of dreaming.

It's fine in regular time of the game, but if you make it at a crucial moment, it can be fatal for the team.

Gan Guoyang was stolen by Olajuwon, he naturally wanted to return one, and until now in the first quarter, he has not played one-on-one with Olajuwon.

Coming to the attack, Gan Guoyang began to ask for the ball in the low post, but his key position was quite shallow and he didn't bother to go deep into Rika.

After getting the ball 15 feet from the basket, Gan Guoyang did not play alone, but looked at his teammates with the ball in one hand.

And Olajuwon will not be distracted, he is fully committed to the defense of Gan Guoyang, he knows that 15 feet is already the range of Gan Guoyang's hook, and the last game in Portland Gan Guoyang's ultra-long-distance hook made Olajuwon suffer.

So Olajuwon naturally won't relax, Olajuwon's defense is different from some kraft candy-style blue-collar interior lines, he just stands behind you like this, but the players in front just don't dare to play alone.

Because everyone knows that Olajuwon's big slap is not vegetarian, and Olajuwon's defensive position is very good, he seems to stand casually, but he is actually left in the middle, and his body is slightly turned inward.

If Gan Guoyang wants to go from the middle, it is basically unlikely, and if he wants to go from the bottom line, then there is a higher Ralph Sampson waiting for him on the inside.

Gan Guoyang has made a little observation, and now he has a better understanding of the Trail Blazers' running tactics, and he pays special attention to the bottom corner and the top of the arc, and the Trail Blazers' outside line is very good at cutting from the middle and shooting at the 0-degree angle of the bottom corner.

However, the Rockets are very dead on the ground, and it is not so easy to run out of the open space.

At this time, Gan Guoyang suddenly quickly dribbled horizontally to the middle, Olajuwang had already prepared, and moved sideways to block Gan Guoyang's way, he knew that Gan Guoyang's lateral movement to the front of the basket was very fatal, so he must not be allowed to rush to that position.

As soon as Gan Guoyang's movement route was blocked, he immediately leaned on Olajuwon and turned inside.

If Gan Guoyang's turning speed is fast enough, he can pass Olajuwon in one step and directly enter the inside line, but Gan Guoyang at this time does not have this ability, not to mention that Olajuwon is not slow.

So as soon as Gan Guoyang turned around, Olajuwang immediately moved to the right and continued to defend Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang was stuck and couldn't move, he had to hold the ball with both hands to protect the basketball, and there was no way to continue the attack.

In this ball, Gan Guoyang was completely prevented by Olajuwon, and the offensive time on the clock was only 6 seconds, and Gan Guoyang could only pass the ball back to Van Dewig, who came to answer.

The Trail Blazers' tactics can't be played, and Vanderwig can only do it on his own under McGree's defense.

He dribbled twice from beyond the three-point line and shot straight to the ground.

In the 80s, although there was a three-point line, there were very few players who shot three-pointers, and everyone grew up playing basketball without a three-point line, and they were all instilled with the idea that "the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score", and there are naturally very few people who practice three-point shooting.

Vanderwicki's shots from inside the three-point line are extremely accurate, but one step outside is out of his range, and he averages no more than half a three-point shot per game each season, which is basically a last resort when he runs out of time.

Like this ball, seeing that the time is up, he directly pulls out the shot, and such a blind shot is shit luck, and it is normal not to score.

"Phew!" The ball slammed into the front of the basket and slammed it out of the way.

Like three-point rebounds, it is the most difficult to grab, and it is difficult to predict if it collapses far, and grabbing such rebounds basically depends on who stands in a good position.

And after passing the ball, Gan Guoyang, who watched Vanderwicki's shot, was about to run back to defense, and he wouldn't grab the frontcourt rebound anyway.

As a result, the Rockets' players, including Olajuwon, squeezed to the inside to protect the backcourt rebound, but the ball suddenly collapsed outside the three-second zone, and it happened to fall into the hands of Gan Guoyang.

For such an unexpected joy, Gan Guoyang took 0.1 seconds to react, and then 0.1 seconds to make a choice.

Generally speaking, such a big hit, an experienced player will definitely stop and pass the ball back to the point guard to reorganize a 24-second offense.

In fact, you don't need an experienced player, as long as your brain doesn't pump, most players will do this, unless they are very confident in their shooting, and they can shoot the ball with confidence in such a position within the three-point line, such as Vanderwic.

But Gan Guoyang except for the appearance of shooting in training, when it comes to the game, it is completely useless, and he has thrown a total of three mid-range shots since the beginning of the season.

But Gan Guoyang, who had just been blocked in attack, was unwilling to pass the ball out like this, he watched Olajuwon rush to the ball from the inside, ignored Valentine next to him, and directly opened his hand for a 20-foot jumper.

If he changed to another center, he threw the ball away, and if he threw it into the ancestral tomb, he would be smoking, and if he couldn't throw it into Gan Guoyang, he would be scolded by the head coach.

However, Olajuwon has a psychological shadow, and the University of Houston was killed by Gan Guoyang in the NCAA Finals, so Olajuwon has to rush up to interfere with this shot anyway.

"Pass! Pass...... Why don't you pass on the ......" Ramsey saw that Gan Guoyang was dizzy and chose to shoot, and yelled anxiously on the side, Gan Guoyang's intermittent convulsions made Ramsey now have intermittent mania.

"Bang ......" Ramsey roared halfway, but Gan Guoyang's ball drew a funny arc, smashed on the rebound, and hit the board into the basket......

Ramsey is out of line now, and he naturally has nothing to say when he throws it, although this ball is obviously a dribble balloon, but luck on the basketball court is also part of the strength.

After the ball was scored, Gan Guoyang stared at his hand with an incredible expression for a long time, and smiled at Ramsey on the sidelines while returning to the defense, Ramsey could only scratch his head helplessly, turned around and sat back on the bench and didn't want to see this person again.

Relying on this balloon, the Trail Blazers once again overtook by one point at 17:16, and Gan Guoyang also got the first point after the opening.

However, Gan Guoyang also knows that this kind of ball can be regarded as burning incense in a game, and now the mid-range shot is not his means of scoring.

The deflated food in the singles just now also made Gan Guoyang feel the pressure from Olajuwon, this guy is indeed a step further than when he was in college.

In the college arena, Gan Guoyang at that time was a sweeping existence, and Ewing and Olajuwon and Gan Guoyang had a level gap.

Gan Guoyang mainly has the advantage of "talent value", surpassing the times in some items, and the practice effect is remarkable, and the technical progress is extremely fast.

It's just that his traits, which are considered by scouts to be "precocious", that is, the so-called technical stereotype, average development potential, plus his Chinese identity, was selected by Portland in the second place, which was already an upset.

Olajuwon's success is due to the fact that he has shown tremendous potential, and the talent of the Nigerian center, who has only been exposed to basketball since junior high school and began formal basketball training in college, is historic.

His innate talent is not much better than Gan Guoyang's "talent value", which makes Gan Guoyang have to sigh that some people are really God's favorites.

Gan Guoyang's lucky ball just passed more than ten seconds, and Olajuwon responded to Gan Guoyang with a backward jumper neatly.

Olajuwon's jump shot is smoother than he did in college, and he used to shoot in a strange position because he shot with a disconnect between his body and hands, which Drexler also had a problem.

These two guys often rely on the physical fitness of the beasts, first throwing themselves into the air and stopping, and then he will shoot when the defender falls.

Drexler has not been able to solve this bad habit so far, and Olajuwon is gradually changing this bad habit, and his shooting feels significantly better.

"That's what shooting is, do you think you can shoot like I do?" Olajuwon said to Gan Guoyang after the ball was scored.

In the past, Olajuwang was sprayed by Gan Guoyang in the game, and now he has begun to fight back against Gan Guoyang; And Gan Guoyang has long ceased to regard various NBA stars as idols, and Olajuwon is only a great opponent on the court in his eyes, not his favorite center in later generations.

"I can shoot like this at the last second, can you stop my shot?" Gan Guoyang was told about his weakness, so he began to turn over old accounts to stimulate Olajuwon.

The two of them competed with each other on the field like this, from the mouth to the hands to the feet, both of them had to fight high and low, and both teams also attacked each other-for-tat for 4 minutes, and the scores of the two sides were still staggered.

Ramsey called a timeout when Valentin poked Lucas' ball out of bounds while defending, and the Trail Blazers still trailed the Rockets by one point at 24-25, less than three minutes before the end of the first quarter.

According to the rhythm of the Trail Blazers' regular rotation, Gan Guoyang should rest at this time and replace Kenny Carr on the court, with Drexler and Colter on the outside to replace Paxson and Valentin.

But this time, Ramsey changed the regular rotation and kept Gan Guoyang on the court, Kenny Carr replaced Mitchell Sampson, and the outside line was paired with Drexler and Colt.

"Speed up the offense, don't stop, stick to the inside, let the opponent shoot, and after grabbing the rebound, be sure to look for Drexler and launch a fast break; I didn't take the flank attack route, going in the middle, Gan and Carl keeping an eye to follow, and Kiki and Colt taking in at 45 degrees. ”

This is different from the fast attack strategy that the Trail Blazers have always used, and the Trail Blazers used to use the "Roc wings" style to open the whole line to advance the fast attack, stretch the space very wide, and then look for offensive opportunities from the flanks.

But the Rockets' wing defense is too powerful, their outside is too oppressive, and you want to rely on wing projection to pull away the Rockets' defense is basically a dream.

In this case, Ramsey decided that we would not have anything to do with you, and directly stab the other party with a sharp knife.

It's just that the Trail Blazers' outside starters and the Rockets' outside line are purely weak chickens in terms of athleticism, and it is unreliable to rely on Paxson and Vanderwich to be sharp knives and let them grab rebounds.

Paxson misses a layup on the first shot with the Rockets, the kind of ball that can only be scored by Drexler, because he doesn't go to the basket, but dunks in with a head.

"Storming their baskets, putting all the guys into the fight for the rebounds, we need to make some changes to give them a taste of bayonets." Ramsey said, putting away the tactical board.

This new strategy was the result of repeated discussions between Ramsey and the coaching staff after the loss to the Rockets, and Ramsey decided to slowly turn it into a staple of the second team to enhance their impact.

Although the first team is very stable, it lacks momentum, which is why when they fall behind in the first half, they are easy to lose in the second half, and they often can't rush to suffocate in one breath.

"Clyde, I hope you'll be able to prove to them in Houston what a huge mistake they made in not choosing you." Ramsey said to Drexler again.

Although it is the second year after entering the NBA, Drexler is still angry about Houston not choosing him and choosing McGregory that year.

Every time he comes to Houston, he has a very mixed mood, so he gives it his all every time he competes against the Rockets, and this time is certainly no exception.

At the end of the timeout, Drexler took off his jacket and stepped onto the court with his teammates, while many spectators in the audience applauded Drexler.

Because there are a lot of fans who have watched Drexler play since high school, watched him dominate the high school league in the Houston area, watched him enter the University of Houston and reach the Finals.

And now, he has become a member of the opposing team, but that doesn't stop their love for Drexler.

Drexler stood on the field with a straight face, showing no hint of pleasure, and he didn't want to let this affect his determination to fight.

At this point, the Rockets took a throw-in and they agreed to make a personnel change, with Ralph Sampson coming off the floor for Larry Micows, while backcourt Lloyd was replaced by Wiggins.

Probably because he had just come on the court, Mikaws, who served on the sideline, was not very attentive, and he was too casual when serving, and threw a high toss towards Lucas, the ball was high and slow.

At this time, Drexler rushed out like a panther and reached out to break the ball before Lucas!

He's really fast!

It was so fast that the other Rockets players saw him rush to the basket after breaking the ball, and he didn't even have the idea of chasing.

Ride the dust.

"Bang~" Drexler dunked with a steal and fast break, and then overtook the score in 2.5 seconds.
