Gan Guoyang feels that the current pioneers are almost in a state of unmanned operation and automatic operation.

Ramsey, the old coach who was still enthusiastic last season, seems to have become an automatic substitution command machine after a summer, and the main purpose of his timeout is to replace the main lineup for everyone to rest, and then change to the substitute lineup for the transition.

In terms of tactics, he no longer makes special arrangements, no longer makes careful preparations before the game, rarely makes targeted adjustments during the game, and everything is according to plan, as if clocking in at work.

This meritorious veteran seems to be using his attitude of non-cooperation and non-resistance to confront the management wordlessly.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers are still running well after last season's run-in, plus the individual ability of the players, in an uncontrolled state.

In the second quarter, in the bench rotation, Paxson had begun to get used to the position of sixth man off the bench, and he made great strides in his playmaking and quick scoring.

"Paxson counter-attacked with the ball, he slowed down slowly, and now it's 3 to 4,...... Paxson suddenly accelerates and breaks through from the right side! Face Hayes with a high toss! Hit the board into the basket! Paxson was unusually resolute and played like an iron man. Shaunley also saw a change in Paxson's stupid Aki.

You must know that in the summer, Paxson took time to strengthen his ability to train his pull-up jump shot, and improved to speed up his shooting speed, which made him more decisive in the new season and stronger independent attack ability.

This ball was supposed to be a quick counterattack by the Trail Blazers, but the Jazz rebounded quickly, so Paxson pretended to pause on the outside, and while the Jazz players were still observing the position of his teammates, he suddenly accelerated and broke through from the right side.

Then facing a block from Jazz backup center Steve Hayes, he ended the offense with a high throw to rewrite the score of the two sides

The reasonable operation of the rotation lineup did not allow the Trail Blazers to be caught up by the Jazz, and they still maintained their lead over the Jazz before the main lineup came on the court.

Jazz head coach Frank Laydon saw that he couldn't stop the Trail Blazers' offense, and immediately called a timeout, and he needed to send Mark Eaton on the court to change the current situation of poor defense.

"Strengthen the defense, especially the interior, let them shoot, whatever they want. Don't let them play fast break! Remember, don't let them play fast breaks, pull them down as well. Remember, don't give them a chance to break fast, don't give them a chance to score inside, let them shoot! "Frank Lydon is a big fat guy in a light blue suit with big square-framed eyes, and he looks like the owner of a fried chicken restaurant instead of an NBA head coach.

In the first round of the playoffs last season, Frank Lydon relied on the strategy of "sticking to the inside, letting you shoot on the outside", plus the extraordinary performance of the players, and defeated the Rockets with the twin towers in an upset.

Layden knows that defensively, the Jazz's outside line is too short and skinny, and Stockton and Hansen are both slow and thin whites, and their defensive attitude is not problematic and their skills are not bad, but the hardware conditions are really not good.

Another small forward, Dantley, who is also the offensive core of the Jazz, is even more average defensively, basically on par with Vanderwich of the opposite Trail Blazers, and it is common to become the biggest hole in the defense.

Therefore, Lydon has to shrink the defensive line and let them surround the big tree Eaton, not giving the opponent a chance to score in the three-second zone, and as for whether to shoot from a distance or not, it depends on luck.

On the Trail Blazers' side, the main players also returned to the court, and Ramsey made a simple arrangement: "Attack resolutely, don't hesitate, and give full play to your independent aggression." ”

Ramsay's meaning is actually "You can fight whatever you want, if you get in, you will fight, and if you can't score, you will call me." ”

Gan Guoyang and Van de Vicky then took off their coats and returned to the court, replacing Jerome Cauchy and Jones, while Colter remained on the court and Kenny Carr continued to play at power forward.

"What the hell are you Steve? Can't you score a goal? I'm anxious about you on the sidelines. As soon as Gan Guoyang came on the court, he first pulled Colt and sprayed him, and Colter still didn't score a point in the nearly 7 minutes he came off the bench, only contributing two rebounds, which was really rotten.

And Ramsey still put him on the field, I don't know for what purpose, maybe he wanted him to find his form quickly.

Colter didn't say anything after listening to Gan Guoyang's words, but lowered his head and walked away, he also felt uncomfortable playing like this on the court, especially Ramsey had been refusing to let him go, and seemed to intend to make him make a fool of himself on the court.

A summer of desolation, coupled with the erosion of drugs, made Colter's competitive condition extremely poor, but fortunately he trained well in the team's training camp, so he was not even able to run.

Moreover, marijuana is a soft drug after all, and it does not cause as much harm to the body as other drugs, and Coulter seems to be relatively normal, and once he starts to consume more toxic drugs, then his career will be completely ruined.

It is impossible for Gan Guoyang to change Colt's life, but he is also unwilling to watch a teammate ruin his future.

Stockton was caught between Gan and Colter, but Stockton passed the ball out to Eaton's hand under the basket, and Eaton scored a one-handed dunk...... I felt like he didn't even jump when he dunked this time, but just stood on his tiptoes slightly......"

Eaton was so tall and his arms were so long that he easily stuffed the ball into the basket after receiving a pass from Stockton, and Kenny Carr didn't know how to interfere with him.

“**！” After leaking a big hole under the basket, Gan Guoyang scolded, this is the disadvantage of gambling bags, once you meet a passing master like Stockton, one by one assists are born.

But on the other hand, Colt also has a problem, he didn't put Stoke to the bottom line, but let Stockton easily cut in from the middle, which made Gan Guoyang helpless, if he didn't make up for it, he had to make up for it, and the passing vision in the middle was really good.

The Jazz pulled one back, but the Trail Blazers fought back even more.

The Jazz made defensive adjustments, and the premise of this adjustment working was that the Trail Blazers' long-range shooting was average.

But Lydon miscalculated.

"Gan catches the ball at the horn position, turns to the frame, and jumps straight to shoot! Eaton defends against it, the ball goes in! A 16-foot jumper, Gan's jumper, clean, added two points to the Trail Blazers......"

"Van Dewic passes the ball to Gan, Gan passes back to Van Dewig, Vanderwig jumps and shoots! Goal ......"

………………

Drexler ran back to the basket and received a pass from Gan, but he was covered by Eaton, and Drexler passed back to Van Dewig, who made an 18-foot jumper...... The batter fouled, Dantley the batter fouled. ”

Dantley had to foul, and the Trail Blazers' shooting felt completely up.

Gan's painstaking mid-range jumper is finally starting to become one of his weapons, and after receiving the ball at the horn position, he has developed a high level of accuracy without any special interference from other players.

It just so happens that the Jazz are shrinking the defense again, Eaton can't prevent it, and the outside players don't come to obstruct it, Gan Guoyang can be regarded as having a good time getting addicted to the middle.

Even more of a headache for the Jazz was Vanderwicki, a white shooter who seemed to be insane, unleashing a frenzied individual offense on the perimeter, and he almost beat Dantley out of breath on the offensive end.

Finally, Dantley couldn't take it anymore and slapped Van Deweg on the arm and sent Van Deweew to the free throw line.

By the time Vanderwich hit both free throws, the Trail Blazers had turned the deficit to 14 points at 62-48, and the Jazz had no chance of turning the game around in the first half.

The Trailblazers, who run automatically, crushed the Jazz all the way, and the second half was even more tragic, and the Trail Blazers won the Jazz by 13 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, widening the difference between the two sides to more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense in the fourth quarter.

After this game, Ramsay may begin to wonder if he really has no need for this Trail Blazers to exist, and whether this extremely talented team is really stronger without his command and arrangement.

For this reason, Ramsey fell into deep doubts, and he even began to question whether there was a problem with his coaching ideas, whether Adelman's words were really reasonable, all of which intensified the compression of the old man's coaching career - external pressure and internal doubts made Ramsey, who led the team to four consecutive wins, seem to be in a four-game losing streak.

After the game, Gan Guoyang, who scored 20 points and 21 rebounds in a single game, and completed the double 20 data, still invited Stockton, who was an opponent on the court and a friend off the court, to have a meal near Chinatown, as well as Bob Hansen.

Gan Guoyang deliberately chose a more authentic Chinese restaurant in Chinatown this time, because of Gan Guoyang's status in Portland, plus the wonderful performance of this game, the restaurant owner directly said that the meal was free.

It takes a lot of courage for the boss to let the three professional players eat for free, but fortunately, the three of them are more careful to control their diets, and they don't order dishes with big meat and oil, and the rice they eat is relatively limited.

The three of them usually eat delicious meals while chatting about the recent league anecdotes, especially the rookies on the team.

"Do you know who this guy Potter is most afraid of? It's not me, it's not the head coach, it's Clyde Drexler, they seem to have played each other in college before, Drexler beat Potter out of, so Potter is a little stunned when he sees Drexler now, Drexler still pulls Potter to train with him, he doesn't remember beating Potter on the field before......"

Gan Guoyang was talking about the team, but through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the restaurant, he saw that there seemed to be a familiar figure on the street.

"Hey Gan, what's wrong?" Stockton asked, looking at Gan Guoyang who had been staring outside.

"I'll go out first, wait for me later!" Gan Guoyang put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out of the restaurant, walking quickly towards the figure he saw.
