Chapter 111: Born Superstar

(The editor said it was released at the end of the month, but I didn't think much about it. I didn't expect it to be announced today. Yesterday, because of the addition of friends in class, I stopped updating it and stopped updating it before it was released. The first time, this was something I didn't expect. So, although I could post a VIP today, I decided to post a chapter for the public as compensation for yesterday. At the same time, I also thank SpongeBob Guagua's biological wife for not killing me for her explanation, and thank you. Thank you for the editor Guada. I didn't communicate much with me, mainly because I blamed me for being lazy, but every time Guada sends a message, it's good news, so I like to see Guada's avatar shining, and also thank the book friends who vote to read books every day, and hupu's jrs. I'm too lazy to write a comment on the listing. I'm just talking about three sentences here. If you can subscribe, it doesn't matter. The three sentences are finished!)

The third quarter ended in a high-speed rhythm like a track and field race. The feeling of Gan Guoyang on the field was "Run, run, run."

The main opportunity for both sides to stop resting is that the coach calls for a timeout, or someone fouls.

However, both sides even rarely make fouls, because both sides use jump shots as the ending means of the offense, without breakthroughs, no force attacks, no position attacks, and no fouls.

Van dervich and Wilkes melted all the defenses on both sides with their fiery touch.

This is the case in the NBA game. When both sides have a rhythm, they will enter a strange "not defensive" offensive battle; or if the rhythm of both sides cannot rise, they will enter a tug-of-war of "not scoring the goal".

The Lakers want to take the Trail Blazers away through the high rhythm of the third quarter; while the Trail Blazers also use high rhythm to maintain the gap between the two, and then play fast pace and save energy relatively, so as to save hope and energy until the fourth quarter, and then fight with the opponent!

The third quarter was a match between Wilkes and Van derwich, and a match between Magic Johnson.

Gan Guoyang once again felt that when Magic Johnson was on the court, his extraordinary control ability and unparalleled creativity when advancing fast attacks. Under his leadership, every player of the Lakers seemed to be exposed to the talent of fast attacks, and everyone was performing with No-look-pass.

In comparison, the Trail Blazers' fast offense is not inferior. If Magic Johnson is the Lakers' jet engine, then Drexler is the Trail Blazers' propeller.

In the third quarter, Ramsey put Drexler on the side and let him control the team's offense. This time Ramsey did not set too many rules and regulations for Drexler, but told him to "exert his energy according to the situation on the field."

Drexler began to take off the backcourt rebounds, took possession of the ball over the half, and began to use passes that were no less than the super point guard to bring shooting opportunities to his teammates.

When he runs on the floor with his head down, it always makes people feel that he will rush to the end, but in the end he can pass the ball to the exact position so that his teammates can take action comfortably.

Gan Guoyang, who was shining in the first half, performed averagely in the third quarter. In the middle of the third quarter, Ramsey replaced him. He didn't want to watch the team's center running in unnecessary turnaround on the court, and he couldn't even touch a ball after three rounds.

This is also the gap between Gan Guoyang and Kareem. He cannot integrate well into this high-speed offensive and defensive rhythm. His retreat and defense are great, but his fast attack participation is not enough.

When the speed on the field was very fast, Gan Guoyang could not quickly judge what he should do, whether to go down quickly in the middle or stay in the backcourt to prevent the Lakers from intercepting and counterattacking. He still needs to accumulate game experience.

So Ramsey asked him to sit on the bench and told him to have a good rest and prepare for the final battle in the fourth quarter.

Gan Guoyang sat on the bench and looked at everything on the court. He suddenly felt that maybe the Lakers were not that strong, and that the Trail Blazers could do what they could do.

The Trail Blazers are also full of talent, have a group of talented players, and have an excellent championship coach.

"The Trail Blazers are no worse than the Lakers!" This is the idea that came to Gan Guoyang's mind.

When Van dervich hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer, Gan Guoyang stood up from the bench, raised his arms, and cheered for this wonderful goal with his teammates on the bench.

"We can defeat them! We can be the best!" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but say, and Ramsey looked at Gan Guoyang and grinned.

Gan Guoyang looked at Ramsey's expression and didn't quite understand what his smile meant, whether he was encouraging himself or laughing at him.

But when the fourth quarter started, Gan Guoyang stood on the court and started his first attack in the last quarter, he felt something different.

"Gan is at the low post, Lambis is defending him. Oh, Cooper comes up to attack and is intercepted! Johnson takes the ball and launches a fast break! Worthy catches the ball and dunks! Beautiful attack! The unstoppable Lakers!" After chatting throughout the third quarter, Zeke Hearn still showed no sign of fatigue.

Gan Guoyang felt very uncomfortable. The Lakers no longer used Jabbar to defend him, but instead asked Lambis, a man with glasses who looked like a white-collar worker in the company, to bother him.

Gan Guoyang obviously underestimated the difficulty of this gentleman glasses, and coupled with the harassment of Cooper, the spider monster, it was difficult for him to dribble.

"Don't fucking pester me anymore!" He thought he could play well in the fourth quarter, but after being destroyed by Lambis, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and pushed Lambis.

Gan Guoyang was naturally called a foul, and Lambis's goal was also achieved, not being too nagging with Gan Guoyang.

"Calm down, calm down!" Ramsey yelled from the side. He didn't want Gan Guoyang to get angry anymore.

Gan Guoyang calmed down and found that the Lakers not only strengthened their defense against themselves, but the defense of the entire team has been strengthened by a level.

After experiencing a nearly defensive offensive battle in the third quarter, the Lakers' sudden increase in defensive intensity made the entire Trail Blazers very uncomfortable.

In particular, the Lakers no longer shrink the defense line around the three-second zone like in the first three quarters, but instead actively expands outside and presses the Trail Blazers' passing line, which makes the internal and external connections of the Trail Blazers.

The Lakers' usual defensive strategy is to shrink and force you to shoot. If you feel bad, you can't make a shot. If you don't have a good feel, they will grab the rebound and launch a quick counterattack.

Now that the Lakers' defense line is expanded, the best way to crack it is to fight inward and then pass it outward.

However, Pat Riley finally seized on Gan Guoyang's lack of ability to pass the ball inside and outside, and began to expand the defense outside and clamp inside. The Trail Blazers' offensive system was instantly crushed very thin.

"Drexler broke through and was blocked by Jabbar! Jabbar won the ball and passed it directly to Cooper, but Cooper seemed to be rushing too deep, but Johnson followed behind him, and Cooper passed the ball behind his head! The Magician received the ball and dunked! This is the Los Angeles Magicians!"

In just 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed. The Lakers made several quick counterattacks and positional offenses, and suddenly widened the score to 106:92. The Trail Blazers only relied on Van der Vicky to make the only two-pointer.

Ramsey had to call a timeout. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was as if the game started, and the Trail Blazers were a little confused by the Lakers.

Gan Guoyang, who was full of confidence before the start of the fourth quarter, suddenly felt a little depressed. He thought the Lakers were just like this. He thought he could easily tear the Lakers' inside line, but he didn't expect that they could play such a defense, which would make the Trail Blazers so ugly.

If the trailblazers at the beginning were still because of the poor touch of the Trail Blazers, they were beaten 10-2 in the fourth quarter, which was completely caused by the Trail Blazers being targeted by the Lakers and being unable to perform.

"Gan, you continue to move towards the high position. If you stay in the low position, all the internal and external contacts will be cut off. You must mention the high position to cover your teammates." Ramsey decided to let Gan Guoyang return to the high position.

When Gan Guoyang heard Ramsey's words, he could only nod helplessly.

Originally, Ramsey wanted to give it a try and see if Gan Guoyang, who had upended the Lakers' inside line in the first half, could continue to be magical in the fourth quarter. As long as this point can be played, a turnaround is not an extravagant hope.

But Riley is worthy of being a "god calculator". He quickly saw through Gan Guoyang's weaknesses, used Lambis and Cooper to attack Gan Guoyang, let Jabbar protect the three-second zone, and then strengthen the oppression of the outside line.

The best way for the Trail Blazers to crack such a defense is to break through, but Gan Guoyang was in a low position and blocked half of the breakthrough space. The internal and external connections have been broken, and the attack naturally stagnated.

Ramsey couldn't help but look at Pat Riley on the bench opposite the other side. This young coach with a hooked nose and a combed hair was already a scheming commander.

Ramsey knew that returning to the opening style was the best choice, and continued to let Gan Guoyang go to the high position, open up the inside space, and let Drexler, Van derwich and Paxson solve the problem.

But Ramsey also knew that Pat Riley wanted the Trail Blazers to play like this, and they would not be able to kill the Lakers at all. The game would only slowly walk to the last second under the control of the Lakers.

Did you lose this game? It would be normal to lose to the Lakers in a regular season game.

"No, no, no, I'm happy, if possible, I hope you can attack at a high position. Do you understand what I mean?" Ramsey said suddenly after thinking for a while, overturning what he had said before.

The players on the team were stunned and didn't understand what Ramsey was saying. Gan Guoyang was also a little surprised. Ramsey asked him to attack from a high position? Will he let him shoot in the middle?

"Clyde, you and Gan are playing pick-and-rolls, giving Gan a chance to start a high attack!" Ramsey continued, he wanted to change his tactical arrangement.

In fact, in the first quarter, Gan Guoyang had a shocking one-arm dunk in the face basket, but later he mainly used the back basket to play.

When training in the team, Ramsey discovered that Gan Guoyang had very excellent dribbling skills and very good first-hand skills. Later he learned that Gan Guoyang learned this on the street court.

Ramsey hates the street ball game habits and ways, and strictly prohibits the team players from playing on the streets to play with people, but he also finds that this may be an advantage that Gan Guoyang can develop.

One of the major shortcomings of the Lakers' inside line is that they are slow. Jabbar's speed becomes slower when he gets older, and Lambis is a white man, so he is naturally slower.

Ramsey decided to take a bet. He wanted to put the bet on Gan Guoyang, let Gan Guoyang attack from a high position, and use the cross-basket to attack the Lakers' inside line!

"Go on, as long as you can break through the Lakers' defense line, you can bring us victory." After the suspension, Ramsey patted Gan Guoyang and said to him.

Gan Guoyang nodded again, took a deep breath, and no longer looked down on the Purple Gold Legion opposite him. He was a little nervous, but he decided to make a last try.

"The timeout is over. I think the Trail Blazers' offense after this timeout will determine the situation of this game. If they can't solve the offensive problem and cannot stop the Lakers' fast attack, then the result of this game has basically been determined. The Trail Blazers must seize the opportunity and try their best in the last ten minutes!" Zeke Hearn, who has seen countless games in the Lakers, has definitely grasped the situation of the game at an expert level.

"Gan really mentioned the high position. He no longer went to the low position to ask for the ball like before, but went to the high position to cover it... Oh no, he broke through the middle with the ball! Lambis couldn't keep up with him at all, so he jumped and dunked with his left hand! This was his 27th point in this game! He broke the scoring record of 25 points in the Supersonics game. This is just his fifth NBA game."

Gan Guoyang's choice to break through with the ball in the ox horn position was beyond the expectations of all Lakers players. They did not expect that the little monster in the low post could actually choose to break through from the high post!

Although his impact cannot be compared with that of black players, his first step is not something Lambis can stop, and Jabbar cannot make up for it.

"………Gan held the ball at a high position again, shook his shoulders and broke through from the right bottom line! The foul was made, Worthy was fouled, and the Lakers could only use fouls to block his layup...Gan and Drexler picked and rolled up and received a pass from Drexler and broke through to the inside layup! Oh my God, can no one in the Lakers stop him? Let such a rookie do whatever he wants in the inside!"

Pat Riley, who was standing by, couldn't sit still. At the pre-match preparation meeting, the Trail Blazers' pick-and-roll was not in the preparation plan at all, because the Trail Blazers are not a team that likes to play pick-and-roll.

The status of the pick-and-roll in Ramsey's tactical system is not important.

But in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' defense was suddenly defeated by Drexler and Gan Guoyang's pick-and-roll, as well as Gan Guoyang's face-to-basket attack.

This was something Riley had never expected. He had planned it long ago and tried to drag down the Trail Blazers with a high rhythm in the third quarter. If they could not drag down them, then suddenly strengthen the defensive rhythm in the fourth quarter, making the Trail Blazers uncomfortable.

Then, the score difference was widened to more than 15 points within five minutes, and finally the game was dragged out, and the regular season game was over.

But Gan Guoyang's firepower once again shattered Riley's wishful thinking.

"Yes! It's awesome!" When the fourth quarter ended in the 8th minute, the Blazers were in high morale under Gan Guoyang's leadership and narrowed the score gap to 6 points, the Lakers had to call a timeout.

Teammates stepped forward and slapped Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang slapped his teammates one by one like the boss of the team, and his face was full of perseverance and domineeringness - although most of them were pretending.

But everyone, from teammates to coaches to team doctors to other staff, felt that this Chinese would be a superstar, or he was already a superstar. In this game, he had scored 35 points.

Some people are born superstars.

For example, Lakers Magic Johnson won the Finals MVP in his rookie season, which is unprecedented in the entire NBA history, and it is hard to have a future.

Now, facing another player who wants to step on the Lakers to climb to the superstar throne, this Western Conference overlord will certainly not let him succeed easily.

"Hey Pat, I think it's time for me to take over the game." Johnson, who sat there without saying a word on the Lakers' bench, suddenly said.

Riley looked at Johnson. His relationship with Johnson was more than that of an ordinary coach and a player. It was precisely because of Johnson, Pat Riley, an assistant coach who was worried about whether he could continue working in the NBA, became the helmsman of the Lakers, the Purple Gold Battleship, to realize his huge ambitions.

Now, the captain wants to take over everything.
