The Trail Blazers' performance in the first quarter was a mess. They were good at fast-paced attacks and no sharp counterattacks were made, but were like old bulls dragging a broken car, following the Pistons player and running around.

The Pistons, who had been resting for a full 4 days, were full of energy, and from the defender to the center, they all ran like a small motor.

The only person who performed normally in the Trail Blazers was Van der Vic. He supported the Trail Blazers' offense in the first quarter and scored 12 points on his own, exceeding half of the team's score - the Trail Blazers only scored 20 points in the first quarter, and their shooting percentage was only 30%.

However, at the end of the first quarter, when the Pistons began to double-team Van derwich, the Trail Blazers' offense was completely paralyzed, the players could not run the tactics, and the singles felt poor, so they could only get a little bit of score.

On the contrary, under the leadership of Isaiah Thomas, the Pistons had an extremely smooth offense, and Valentine could not limit Thomas' performance at all. Thomas' personal offense and tandem team grabbed one goal, scoring 10 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, leading the Pistons to lead the Trail Blazers 33:20 by 13 points.

Gan Guoyang was extremely depressed in the first quarter. He never walked in during the No. 40 attack, but stayed outside and threw the ball in the long shot.

If Gan Guoyang pulls out to defend, the penalty area without his protection will become Thomas' free private place to come and go; if Gan Guoyang doesn't pull out to defend, Lan Bill can really make a mistake when he shoots outside!

In order to deal with Lan Bill, Gan Guoyang had to move widely between the three-second zone and the three-point line, which made him consume more energy on the defensive end.

What's worse is that Gan Guoyang made two more fouls in the first quarter and had to end up early.

In addition to the games at the beginning of the season, Gan Guoyang is prone to impulsiveness in defense and thus foul prematurely, Gan Guoyang is increasingly aware of controlling his movements in the subsequent games, greatly reducing his unnecessary fouls.

However, in this game, his two fouls did not come from defense, but from offense, and all of this was naturally attributed to Ranbir.

Gan Guoyang's unintentional push at the beginning was exaggerated by Lan Bill's acting skills. As a result, the referee called Gan Guoyang an offensive foul.

In the eighth minute, Gan Guoyang got the ball in the offense, and a Sigma turned to the basket and wanted to break through directly from the front. As a result, Lan Bill fell to the ground again at the edge of the three-second zone, and the referee blew again, and Gan Guoyang dribbled the ball and hit the person.

Gan Guoyang was so depressed that he felt that his movements were no different from those in normal games. Today, he was tired from the journey and had a smaller strength. Why did he hit someone here by dribbling the ball?

Gan Guoyang watched Ranbir, who had an innocent look on his face, had the urge to rush forward and punch him in the beautiful face for the first time.

After Gan Guoyang got out of the field, the Trail Blazers' inside defense was even more unaware of it. Sampson guarded the inside alone and often missed the other.

"I know everyone is tired, but this is the NBA game. I believe that each of you has experienced this situation, but we still have to cheer up! Being 12 points behind in the first quarter is not a good start. In the games we won, we were all ahead in the first quarter. Now the first quarter is not a good sign." Ramsey did not scold the players loudly during the rest of the first quarter. He knew that everyone was very tired, so he was more encouraged.

"Every player must stand up at this time, especially our substitutes. At this time, we have to rely on you to attack the opponent." Ramsey decided that since the main players are in poor condition, they will be sent to the substitute. They will be more physically energetic and may have miraculous effects after playing.

"Gan, don't be influenced by your opponent. No matter what they say, you just need to play your game well. If you are impulsive or frustrated, then their goal will be achieved." Ramsey did not forget to comfort Gan Guoyang and told him not to be provoked by his opponent.

Gan Guoyang nodded, but still couldn't swallow this breath.

Gan Guoyang has always used words to stimulate his opponents and suppress him with his performance. He has never been fooled by his opponents like this. He still remembers what Ranbir said when he passed by him when he was over.

Obviously, Lan Bill deliberately committed a foul, and at the same time used words to stimulate Gan Guoyang to make him lose his calmness.

Gan Guoyang had never heard of Lanbir's name in later generations. He only knew that the Piston had a "smiling assassin" Thomas, but he didn't know that the Piston had a "dark prince" Lanbir.

Of course, in the 1984-1985 season, Ranbir had not really become famous.

Two seasons ago, he was selected as the 65th pick and stayed in the "Soft Egg" center of the "Millennium Bad Team" Cavaliers - because he only likes to shoot outside.

White players like him who cannot run fast, jump high, and have no special talent are the least valued group in the NBA. After being selected by the Cavaliers, he ran to Europe for two years and performed well.

This rich second-generation gangster found that playing basketball is pretty good, so he returned to the United States and the NBA. Of course, he was beaten back to his original form in the NBA and became a white center who only knows how to shoot in the middle and long distances. He scored 7 or 8 points per game and grabbed a lot of rebounds.

Finally, in the 1981-1982 season, he was exchanged for Detroit - an industrial city as cold as steel, where he finally had a new life.

His transformation came from the 1982-1983 season, when he entered the All-Star, which was hard for others to imagine before the season, and even he himself found it incredible.

In the 1982-1983 season, he was selected as the All-Star again, and since then he officially became a star player in the NBA, the Detroit Pistons' inside defensive pillar.

But obviously, Ranbill did not have the slightest awareness of being a star. Starting from the 1982-1983 season, this handsome white man began to show his sharp fangs in the inside. Many centers began to notice how unpleasant this white man, who looked harmless, was so unpleasant when playing.

Fake drops, small moves, pushing people, and trash talks, these are gradually becoming tricks in Ranbir's arsenal. Other teams will also remind players at the preparation meeting to be careful of Ranbir.

However, the Pistons' performance was quite average at that time, especially in the playoffs, and Ranbir's tricks did not attract the public.

At that time, Gan Guoyang was still training wildly at Gonzaga University, and he would not pay attention to the white center of this central team.

It just so happened that Ramsey didn't have time to hold a preparatory meeting before this game, so naturally no one reminded Gan Guoyang to be careful of the dangerous figures of the Pistons - originally Sampson could have reminded him, but Sampson did not, and the two rarely communicated outside the field.

So, in the first quarter, Gan Guoyang became the victim of Lanbier. He was not the first, and of course he would not be the last one.

"We have all forgotten to tell you that this guy Ranbir is one of the most shameless inside players in the league. Of course, there are many shameless players here. You have to learn to fight with them until one day you become a shameless person." Kenny Carr and Gan Guoyang sitting next to Gan Guoyang said.

Kenny Carl is the longest player in the entire Trail Blazers. He was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the sixth overall pick in the first round at the 1977 draft and became a member of the Purple and Gold Army.

At that time, he was a good assistant to Jabbar in Los Angeles. Because of this, the Trail Blazers were fighting against the Lakers. When Gan Guoyang was fighting against Jabbar, Carl could always come up with some ideas.

Coincidentally, Carl spent several seasons with the Cavaliers and the Pistons respectively, which meant that he and Ranbir had been teammates for several years.

In fact, in the 1981 deal, he and Ranbir were traded to Detroit. Only a year later, he was traded to the Trail Blazers again, and stabilized in the Trail Blazers.

Therefore, Carl couldn't understand this guy Ranbir very much. When he saw Gan Guoyang's depressed look, he naturally had to teach him as a veteran.

"I have never seen such an annoying guy. Although I also like to squirt, I will defeat my opponent in basketball instead of doing conspiracies like him!" Gan Guoyang was still angry after hearing Carl's words.

Carl is the big brother of the entire team. Except for the coach, other players will listen to him. He is the real locker room leader.

What he does most often is to take the young players from the team to the bar to drink after the game. Although Gan Guoyang rarely goes with him, Carl likes this unique Chinese boy.

Hearing Gan Guoyang's complaint, Carl said again: "Yes, he is just conspiring and tricks. He just likes to play these evil ways, but he is not illegal or violates the rules. There are some guys in the league who like to make these things. When we go to Boston, you will understand."

"Carl, prepare to play and replace Sampson." Sampson, who was standing in front, waved to the bench and said.

After the start of the second quarter, Ramsey replaced Cauchy, Drexler, Norris and other substitutes, leaving only Sampson and Paxson behind. The substitutes' relatively abundant energy injected some vitality into the Trail Blazers. At the beginning of the second quarter, they maintained the integrity of their defense and their offensive feel began to slowly recover. Finally, the score was not widened by the Pistons.

The Pistons also sent a substitute lineup, and both Ranbir and Thomas came off the court to rest, and their offensive energy suddenly decreased a lot.

The Trail Blazers are slowly eroding the Pistons' advantage. The Pistons' defense is worthy of being the worst in the league, especially after Ranbill left the court, the protection of the backcourt rebounds was much worse, which also shows that Ranbill is actually very good at it.

When Carl heard Ramsey's words, he immediately took off his coat and stood on the sidelines to wait for the field.

After a Trail Blazers' defensive foul, Carl came on the court to replace Sampson. Due to Gan Guoyang's foul, Sampson has not received any rest time.

After Sampson left the field and sat next to Gan Guoyang, the bench suddenly became much quieter. The two ignored each other and had nothing to say.

After Carl came on the court, the Trail Blazers' inside height dropped again, which means that the Trail Blazers must play quickly and must use offense to make up for the defensive shortcomings.

Drexler, who was like a little bull, got plenty of playing time in this game. He stayed on the court after playing in the middle of the first quarter.

His sharp backcourt rebounds effectively protected the Trail Blazers' inadequate inside line, and at the same time, a one-stop quick attack caught the Pistons off guard.

Soon, with Drexler's outbreak, the Trail Blazers finally caught the score to 40:42 in the 6th minute of the second quarter, only two points behind the Pistons.

Pistons coach Chuck Daly had to call a timeout, and he wanted to replace the main lineup to suppress the Blazers' fierce counterattack.

"We play very well, we must pay attention to the transition and connection of offense and defense, and do not give our opponents a chance to breathe. I know we are all tired, but when we play like this, our opponents will be very tired. Their defense is not excellent, and we can play more efficient offenses." Ramsey did not arrange any specific tactics. He knew that sometimes tactics may not necessarily have an effect, and the players' enthusiasm and concentration will have a greater impact on the game.

This is also the difference between the NBA and the NCAA. The NCAA has enough time to let players take tactical routines, but the NBA does not.

"Gan, after playing, you should pay attention to the backcourt rebounds and backcourt rebounds. This is the most important ammunition for our quick counterattack!" Ramsey reminded Gan Guoyang that backcourt rebounds are the lifeline of a fast offensive team like the Trail Blazers.

"Okay, I understand." Gan Guoyang said he knew, but when he saw that Lan Bill stood up and took off his coat on the bench of the Pistons, his mind became hot.

"This guy, I must teach him a lesson." Gan Guoyang has never suffered a loss on the basketball court, but who is the one who makes him suffer?

The enlightenment teachers Thurmond, Big Beidou Chamberlain, Tiangou Kareem, Ewing and Olajuwon, all of these, Gan Guoyang later found the venue. What is Kelan Bill?

Gan Guoyang had to poop on Lan Bill's head, otherwise he would not be able to swallow this breath.

"Good morning, baby." It's so hard that Lan Bill smiled and said hello to Gan Guoyang after he played, which made Gan Guoyang feel even more qi and blood.

"I will make you happy and enjoy your baby." Of course, Gan Guoyang will not show weakness.

After the timeout, the Pistons began to attack, and Thomas returned to the field to control the Pistons' offense.

Thomas is different from the Magician. He is a small point guard with a height of 6-foot-1. He does not have a wide vision like a tall Magician, but his strong breakthrough ability forces the defense to compress the defense line.

His exquisite hands-on skills make the audience amazed, and they often make the opponent sigh at the ball.

It's really pitiful that Trail Blazers' rookie point guard Colter had to face Thomas again after being taught a lesson by Davis in the last game.

Thomas dribbled with a cross and cut directly into the basket from the middle. This time, Lan Bill did not pull to the outside line, so Gan Guoyang, who was in the three-second zone, naturally stepped forward to make up for the defense.

Facing Gan Guoyang who was rushing forward, Thomas was very calm. He jumped directly towards Gan Guoyang, but did not attack the basket, but passed the ball with a low hand in the air and handed the ball from behind Gan Guoyang to Lan Bill under the basket!

If Ranbir is a black man with super physical fitness, he might be a dunk, but he is a white center with almost 0 bounces. Just as he was holding the ball and preparing to take off, Gan Guoyang, who was trying to prevent Thomas, had already turned around and cut the ball out of Ranbir's hand with an accurate cut.

No fouls!

Gan Guoyang grabbed this ball without any pause. He prepared to dribble directly in the backcourt to launch a fast attack!

But as soon as he stepped out, he found that his body seemed to be pulled by something, his legs were moving forward, but his body was falling backward.

"Bang!" "Bee!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Gan Guoyang fell heavily to the ground.

"I'm fouled? I just interfered with him gently! He was a fake fall! How could he fall so easily?" Gan Guoyang, who was lying on the ground, heard a familiar voice in his ears.
Chapter completed!
