Chapter 121: First Conversation

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Bulls by five points at 30-25, and in the final two minutes, Gan scored five points in a row, including a 2-and-1. This season, Gan has scored a number of 2-and-1 goals in the game, which shows what makes him different. NBC commentator Hamilton asked.

"Yes, based on my observation and analysis of the previous Trail Blazers games, Gan's strength is actually beyond many people's imagination. At the time of the rookie camp physical test, Gan did not participate, so no one knew what level of bench press he had reached. I reckon the numbers will be quite staggering; On the other hand, his waist and abdomen core strength is very good, and his control ability in the air is quite strong; In the end, he had a very good touch and was very soft, and some of the balls ended up stumbling into the basket. Crouch replied.

"So what do you think are his shortcomings? Has it been exposed in the current game? ”

"At the moment, this is a very talented centre-forward with no particularly obvious flaws. His main problems at the moment are, firstly, his lack of experience, in the first quarter of the game, we can find that he is a little uncomfortable in the face of Korzin, an experienced center, and there are several mistakes; Also, his offensive skills are not well-rounded, his left hand seems to be improving, and he doesn't show the ability to shoot jumpers; Defensively, he is highly congenitally flawed, which makes him suffer when facing players with strong impact. ”

In recent years, NBC has begun to invite some basketball professionals as commentators, and their analysis is often more professional and detailed than that of media commentators, which also allows TV commentators to get rid of the mode of radio commentary and start a new Talk mode.

"And what about Jordan, how about Jordan? After he was off the court, the Bulls didn't score. Hamilton continues to play the role of an ignorant novice.

"Jordan looked very different in the first quarter, his offense didn't seem particularly strong, and he made a couple of good passes for his teammates to score; In fact, Jordan is a great team player, his breakthrough is extremely lethal, and Jordan's passing amplifies this lethality several times, and he single-handedly revitalizes the Bulls' offense. ”

"Okay, the second quarter is going to start soon, let's take a look at the players on both sides. Jordan is back on the court, and the Bulls without Jordan are really lackluster offensively. On the Trail Blazers' side, Gan was already on the bench, he didn't rest in the first quarter, and now it's time for him to sit off the court. Ramsey sent on a replacement, Kennykar. ”

The Trail Blazers' lineup at this time is center Mitchell Sampson, power forward Kenny Carr, small forward Drexler, scoring guard Jim Paxson, and point guard Colter.

It's a second lineup that Ramsey usually uses, with Drexler on the bench and using his individual ability to continue the firepower after the opposition main player is off the field, preferably to call the opponent a timeout.

However, Drexler doesn't like to be a substitute or play small forward, and he has always defined himself as a well-rounded defender who can control the game, rather than a forward who can only charge.

When he saw Jordan on the court revitalizing the entire Bulls' offense, scoring goals for himself and assisting his teammates, Drexler kept thinking to himself, "I can do this too." ”

So as soon as he got on the court, Drexler took the ball from Colt and began to dribble through the half, and he wanted to control the team's offense.

In a way, Drexler is similar to Jordan, but not at all.

They are all 6-foot-6 defenders, they can run and jump well, they all have talent beyond ordinary players, and they all have extraordinary confidence in themselves.

However, Jordan is a new-age guard who combines all the characteristics of a traditional guard, and he can do everything a traditional guard can do, CS, apex jumper, air-cut basket, pull-up jumper.

In addition, he has the ability to surpass traditional defenders in breaking, counterattacking, passing, and low-post offense.

Drexler is different, he doesn't like the traditional guard set, and he doesn't want to do it, which is a big reason why Ramsey doesn't like him.

He's got his own set, he's got his own way of playing, he likes to charge down, he likes to grab rebounds like a power forward, he likes to ask for the ball in the low post, he likes to play single-roll, he wants to win games the way he likes.

So while he listened to Ramsey's advice to improve his shot, he just didn't want to put the ball in front of his chest, he didn't want to straighten his legs.

Now, he's going to go up against Jordan in his own way, because he knows that the team gave up on Jordan because of him, and he wants to prove that the team did the right thing.

"Drexler dribbles on the perimeter, Jordan defends him, is it a heads-up? Drexler initiates the breakaway, and his speed is very fast from the front...... Beautiful pass, Sampson catches and dunks! Drexler was so fast that Hamilton didn't even have time to describe his movements.

Drexler was straight from the front, and it was a simple and brutal attack, and Jordan couldn't stop Drexler because Karl stepped forward to block Jordan.

Jones, the Bulls' backup center, stepped forward to make up for the defense, which naturally leaked Sampson, and the Bulls did not rotate in time, but Drexler's pass was timely, and Sampson scored the ball with a two-handed dunk.

"It's beautiful!" Gan Guoyang stood on the sidelines cheering for Drexler, as if his energy would never run out.

But how could Jordan show weakness, he also ended up passing the ball from the point guard and dribbling past half court.

On the left, far from the three-point line, Jordan is like a lion waiting for his moment, preparing for acceleration.

For Jordan's breakthrough in the early days, someone has described it, that is, you know where he is going, but you can't stop him.

Paxson was like this, he was still the main defense of Jordan after the start of the second quarter, although he had already been suddenly made a sieve by Jordan in the first quarter.

This time, he had already seen that Jordan was going to go from the front again, but when Jordan started to rush at him, he still couldn't keep up with Jordan's footsteps.

Jordan burst through the middle and changed direction with a feint...... Slam dunk! Straight dunk, oh my. Hamilton, with a mouth like a machine gun, still couldn't keep up with Jordan's movements.

Jordan made two feints in front of Paxson, fooled Paxson with a body shake, and then cut in from the edge of the three-second zone on the left, and no one stepped forward to stop him, and no one could stop him because he was too fast and his passing was too deadly.

Sampson and Karl could only watch as Jordan ended the offense with an easy dunk.

"He was like a bolt of lightning that made a turn in front of Paxson, and then the Trail Blazers' basket was split."

"This guy is fast." Gan Guoyang, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"He passed on the same shoes as you, why aren't you so fast?" Vanderwich on the side said.

Gan Guoyang wears Nike's AF1 sneakers on his feet, which are the same as those on Jordan's feet, and their exclusive sneakers are still being designed and are expected to be launched in '85.

"I'm also fast, I mean, at my height, I can make anyone eat my butt ash." Gan Guoyang has always been so outspoken, although he is indeed fast, especially his turning speed.

"I think our fastest should be Clyde!"

Before Vanderwich could finish his sentence, Drexler had already run from the backcourt to the frontcourt with the ball in his hands, and he plunged into the Bulls' basket like a football player with his head down.

But the Bulls' players have returned to defend and three players have come to the penalty area.

Drexler burst inside from the right baseline, and instead of forcing a layup, he passed the ball to Paxson, who was inserted on the right.

Paxson is a white player who doesn't have much breaking ability, but he's accurate.

A white perimeter player who can't even shoot accurately, then he basically doesn't have much effect, and you can't expect him to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Paxson received the ball on the left baseline and there was an empty front in front of him, but he didn't shoot.

Because Jordan chased after him and flew into the air to cover him.

Paxson made a feint, and Jordan flew off the line.

Paxson adjusted the dribble and shot from 18 feet and the ball went in.

This is the way of Paxson's basketball, using what you are good at against what your opponent is not good at.

He can't stop Jordan, but Jordan doesn't want to stop him from scoring easily.

"Another nice assist, Drexler showed his great vision and good passing ability on two consecutive balls, and he was on par with Jordan in that regard."

Indeed, if you talk about passing alone, Drexler is no worse than Jordan.

Jordan also seems to want to prove that his passing is just as good.

He passed the ball to point guard Matthaus, who immediately passed the ball back to Jordan, who ran outside the three-point line on the right side.

Jordan broke through the middle again, he was straight after receiving the ball, and he passed the ball to Mateus just to adjust the pace, so that Paxson could not react even more and was passed by one step.

But this time, the Trail Blazers' defense quickly shrank, and Drexler on the left reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to delay.

Sampson, who was on the inside, didn't leave the three-second zone this time, but waited inside for Jordan to come to the door.

But Kenny Karl made a mistake, after Drexler was defending Jordan, Volridge leaked, Karl didn't go to make up for Volrich, but watched Jordan rush in, ready to make up or grab a rebound.

Volridge took the opportunity to curl up from the left side and slipped to the basket, and Jordan was already flying in the air for a jumper.

Jordan showed his ability to stay in the air, making a pause in the air, he saw Volric under the basket and passed the ball in the air.

Volridge received the ball and was about to dunk directly, but Sampson turned around and pressed Volridge down. ”

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blows and Sampson fouls.

"Gan, get ready to play, pay attention to your fouls, don't do it casually." Ramsey was ready to replace Sampson with Gan Guoyang, and also told him not to foul easily.

Gan Guoyang immediately got up from the bench, took off his coat, and pointed at Sampson on the court.

On the other side, the Bulls also made substitutions, and they replaced center Korzin, which seems to be trying to use it against Gan Guoyang.

"Did your coach even let you play to send us warmth?" Gan Guoyang looked at Korzin, who was standing next to him, and his mouth began to nag again.

Although Korzin played oily, his mouth was very clean, and if he didn't say anything, Gan Guoyang naturally couldn't take advantage of it.

Wohlridge hit one of two free throws as the Trail Blazers stretched the deficit to six points.

"Slow Clyde, slow down!" Ramsey shouted from the sidelines as he watched Drexler take the ball and rush forward quickly.

"This guy just doesn't know how to control the rhythm." Ramsey shook his head, not knowing when Drexler would mature.

Although the Trailblazers are good at playing fast counterattacks, it is obvious that this is not the time to play fast counterattacks, and the Trailblazers are ahead in the score, not too much and not too little, just because they have scored a few steadily and consolidated their advantages.

And Drexler was already rushing to the front court with the ball.

Drexler didn't break through because Jordan was already clinging to him, so he turned his back and tried to press all the way inside from the left side.

"Drexler hit Jordan with his back on the left side, squeezing in step by step, but the Bulls' bag was already up! Jordan knocks the ball out of Drexler's hand, and Jordan breaks the ball! The Bulls launch a fast attack! ”

Drexler was clearly in a hurry, he didn't turn in a good position, too far out, and his opponent's pinch came too easily.

As a result, under the pinch, no teammates were found, and the ball was knocked out by Jordan.

"Jordan passed the ball to Mateus, the Bulls' fast break, Mateus passed the ball to Green! Green jumps and dunks! Oh! Covered by Gan! Cover it down, and the ball is directly into Gan's arms! ”

The Bulls fans at the scene swallowed the cheers of preparation and turned them into exclamations.

Drexler ran too fast, and Gan Guoyang saw that the ball was broken and immediately ran back to the basket to defend.

Gan Guoyang is the only one in the basket, while the Bulls are a four-line fast break, Green and Woeridge go hand in hand, and Jordan and Mateus come from behind.

Mateus passed the ball to Green on the right, and Green looked at Gan Guoyang under the basket and wanted to give him a head-on dunk.

But he, like many players who have suffered losses on Gan Guoyang, ignores Gan Guoyang's strength and arm span because of Gan Guoyang's skin color and body shape.

Gan Guoyang sat on an iron tower, withstood Green's impact, and at the same time pressed his left hand on Green's ball.

In the confrontation of power in the air, Green was completely defeated, was knocked to the ground by Gan Guoyang, and the ball in his hand was directly taken away by Gan Guoyang.

"A wonderful cap! Poor Sidney Green, the referee didn't blow for a foul. ”

At that time, the whistle was relatively large, and Gan Guoyang did not hit the hand, but just pressed on the ball, so it was a good ball.

"If it were me, I'd dunk this ball over your head." Gan Guoyang passed the ball to Colter, but Jordan ran to him and said.

Gan Guoyang looked at Jordan, this face he was extremely familiar with, his idol in later generations, the omnipotent Jordan.

He knew that he could dunk on anyone's head if Jordan wanted to.

But now Gan Guoyang is no longer the fan Gan Guoyang, he is a rookie with Jordan, and he is an NBA player who wants to compete with Jordan.
