The second quarter just started, and the Warriors served, and unexpectedly appeared.

When Shaute broke through the ball with the ball, he tripped on Van dervich's foot. He was already rushing forward with force and immediately lost his balance and fell into a big horse party.

When a person falls, he always subconsciously stretches out his hand to support him. The same is true for Shaote. When he falls to the ground, he stretches out his left hand to support the ground, but his joints are contusted and he falls to the ground in pain.

"Shaote was helped off the court by the team doctor. The moment he supported the ground with his left hand might have damaged the joint soft tissue. It was a terrible surprise. I wonder if Shaote could return to the court in this game, he had already returned to the locker room."

This sudden accident disrupted the Warriors' tactical plan. Warriors coach John Bach could only replace Pete Siberdex with substitute. This rookie who was selected in 1983 failed to play a game in the rookie season, and only began to appear as an important substitute this season.

However, the Warriors' offense accumulated since the first quarter was not lost. After re-serving, Warriors point guard Slip Floyd broke through from the bottom line, and then Larry Smith inserted in the middle, scored a layup after receiving the ball, and the Warriors led by 5 points 29:24.

"I believe that although Shaot ended up due to injury, the Warriors' two defenders will cause great trouble for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers' outside defense has always been problematic, and their defensive intensity is indeed lower." James Brown commented.

The Warriors used two double-guard players, Floyd and Connor, who can play both point guards and shooting guards on the back line - although the concept of double-guards was not popular at that time.

Both are players between pure point guards and pure shooting guards, which makes the Warriors run very well in the backcourt, capable of passing and breaking, and good offense and defense.

They caused quite a lot of trouble to the Trail Blazers in the first quarter. Judging from the momentum in the second quarter, they will continue to destroy them.

"Paxson's ball was cut off! Connor's steal! He averaged 2 steals per game this season, and he has made great contributions to the Warriors in the outside defense."

A casual pass from Valentine was cut off by Connor, and the Warriors launched a fast break.

Connor, this strong and unpretentious shooting guard, led the ball to the basket, used an experienced time difference to avoid Valentine, who was following the defense, and made a layup successfully, adding two more points to the Warriors. 31:24.

"Concentrate! Focus! Show off momentum... Fuck, these guys really don't know what they are playing!" Ramsey shouted anxiously on the sidelines. At the same time, he didn't understand why the team's condition was so poor recently. Have they reached the hibernation period?

Shaote's sudden outcome not only did not put the Warriors in a low tide, but instead made the Warriors play even more vigorously. At this time, the Trail Blazers' scorer naturally had to stand up.

Van derwich received Valentine's pass in one step within the three-point line at the top of the arc, and then passed the ball to Sampson for a transition. He pretended to cut in but ran two steps to the right. Sampson passed the ball back to Van derwich. Van derwich shot directly after receiving the ball.

An extremely simple tactic like this - this cannot be called a tactic. In fact, it is often very efficient. The meaning of this kind of transmission ball is to let the players find the shooting point they like and shoot at the shooting rhythm they are used to.

Of course, this efficiency is based on the scorer's personal ability, with strong personal ability and good feel. There is no difference between this kind of shooting and an open shot.

Relying on this small cooperation, Van dervich can score more than ten points in one game, which is a very stable scoring method.

But today his touch was really not good. In the past, this kind of jump shot from the three-point line that was almost certain to score, but now it hit the basket's neck heavily, breaking out so far.

"Van dervic's jump shot... didn't make it, but he was willing to get the rebound! The huge rebound control range was passed back to Valentine, and the Trail Blazers reorganized the offense. Sampson was in the inside, and the Warriors attacked! Sampson forced his move, but the ball did not make it... The rebound was taken by the Warriors, and the Trail Blazers seemed to be in an offensive crisis."

After Valentine got the ball, she passed the ball to Sampson, who was on the left. Ramsey always emphasized that when there was a problem with the offense, she would either give the ball to Van dervich or pass it to Sampson.

But these two insurances are not useful tonight. Sampson was attacked by the Warriors inside and outside. The Warriors' attack was not fierce. This is a bit similar to the Lakers. It mainly harasses and does not lose the defensive position because of the attack. It leaves a large open space.

Sampson, who was harassed, did not choose to pass the ball, but turned to the bottom line and jumped. However, the Warriors' basket seemed to have a cover, but they just couldn't make a shot. The ball hit the left and collapsed. Now, no matter how big the control range of Gan Guoyang's arms are, no matter how long the arms are, they can't reach it. He is standing on the right side at this time.

The Warriors fought back again, but Gan Guoyang delayed the blocking of Connor when he returned to defense, preventing the Warriors from getting up quickly, and the referee's whistle rang.

"Gan was called a blocking foul. In the bad second quarter, Gan was still arguing with the referee, and he felt that he did not foul on this ball."

"I just blocked it from the side, the side, the side, I didn't do it!" Gan Guoyang was nagging with the referee. He has now begun to learn to communicate with the referee. Instead of being blown down like he did at the beginning.

"He is pushing forward, you violated him." The referee explained concisely.

"I can fucking violate him..." Gan Guoyang looked helpless. Fortunately, there was no zero tolerance at that time, otherwise he would have been called a technical foul if he had a "fuck" exit.

It is useless to say more. The referees like this will not change. The players argue more about venting and hope to slightly affect the referee's penalty.

The Warriors continued to attack with the sideline ball. The Warriors' offensive tactics are simply like the American elementary school mathematics. The inside is raised to double covers, the double guards take turns to break through, the inside is either following up or making an extra move, and the small forward is waiting for an opportunity to move.

Now that Sauter has gone down in the small forward position, Siberdex's waiting for an opportunity is basically to shoot in an empty position, and someone is defending it to pass.

The Warriors' sharp knife was Floyd and Connor. They were both faster and stronger, and they stabbed the ball in.

At that time, the defenders' breakthrough speed and impact power were not as good as the future generations, they showed more stability in their dribbling skills, and they could not shake the person so hard that they could not find the North.

So when Floyd relied on the left to cover Smith and Whitehead and rushed into the inside two steps, preparing to make a layup with his left hand, Gan Guoyang covered him like a big tree.

Floyd is not a fool and will not force his way to the inside. He has no confidence in winning and can compete with Gan Guoyang, a rookie who averages 2.8 blocks per game.

But he wanted to use a ground pass to the Whitehead who cut in. Since Gan Guoyang came to make up for the defense, Whitehead naturally came out of nowhere.

Gan Guoyang was quick-witted and knew that the inside was empty. Once the ball was passed, he would definitely lose points again. He was fine. While Floyd passed the ball, he stretched out his foot to block the pass route and kicked the ball away with one kick.

"Bee!" A ball like Gan Guoyang is an excellent defense of a goalkeeper on the football field, and it is naturally a violation of kicking football on the basketball court.

The referee was obviously not impressed by Gan Guoyang's wit, and gave Gan Guoyang a warning that he would take technical fouls if he did this again.

But Gan Guoyang's attack really destroyed the Warriors' offensive feeling. The Warriors served again on the sideline and passed it a few times, but found that there was no good offensive opportunity.

He passed the ball to Whitehead, who is also a typical homeless player, and he exchanged it for each team, contributing points and rebounds in each game.

However, after coming to the Warriors, the score and rebounds reached a small peak. After all, the Warriors were really no one inside, so he became the team's starter.

It was not Gan Guoyang who defended him, but Sampson. Ramsey asked Sampson to defend against the Warriors center, and then asked Gan Guoyang to fill in the loopholes.

Sampson and Whitehead were both rookies in 1978, but Sampson was the No. 1 pick, Whitehead was a second round pick. Sampson has been stable as the Trail Blazers as the top player, while Whitehead wandered around.

However, in this game, at least so far, Whitehead's performance was better than Sampson. His several bargains and successful defense against Sampson made the No. 1 pick in the same period eat the turtle.

Of course, Sampson would not let Whitehead play casually, and Whitehead's singles ability was also very average. But when the time came, he had to throw it away, so he turned over and jumped on his own.

The ball drew a high arc and hit the basket, jumping high and not entering.

"Rebound, Gan Guoyang jumped high, no one could steal him... Oh, he didn't pass the ball, rushed through the half court all the way... he was about to be intercepted... He avoided Floyd, dribbled, jumped, and layups against two people!... The ball went in! Oh my God, Gan Guoyang's one-stop fast break, and the cheers of the fans at the scene were even higher than the Warriors' goal!"

"It was an incredible goal. The Trail Blazers, who missed consecutive attacks in the second quarter, broke the deadlock with this goal."

It was indeed unexpected that Gan Guoyang himself did not expect that he just felt that he had come, and he rushed forward with the rebound.

Outside the three-point line, the Warriors' defense has not yet fallen well. Floyd wants to grab it, and Gan Guoyang uses a beautiful and skillful dribble to go over, blinding the eyes of countless spectators.

Then John Smith knew that Gan Guoyang was rushing in like this and could not stop it, so he wanted to stand and make an offensive foul. Gan Guoyang hid his way sideways, then put Whitehead on the layup, bounced four or five times on the basket, and finally landed into the basket. 31:26, the Trail Blazers scored.

When Ramsey saw this ball next to him, he didn't know what to say. What could he say? The team was in such a bad state, so it would be nice if someone scored a goal, no matter how he got it in.

However, the Trail Blazers substitutes, like lit little firecrackers, rushed up from the bench and waved their towels.

"A beautiful goal, but it also has only two points. The Trail Blazers have to solve the problem in the offense, because starting from 3 minutes after the first quarter and 2 minutes after the second quarter, this is the Trail Blazers' first goal. They rely on the center's one-stop fast break."

"Yes, and they also have to solve the problem of defense. Gan has enough deterrence in the inside, but height is a problem, and their athletic ability on the outside is even more worrying."

The commentator's concerns make sense. After Gan Guoyang scored, the Warriors immediately launched a counterattack. Siberdex received a pass from Connor at the bottom line and made a 15-foot jump shot.

Siberdex can score goals, and this goal method is the Trail Blazers' specialty. The forward and guards are fast on the wings, and the point guards are moving quickly, either passing them to the inside to make a layup or passing them to the wings to the mid-range shot.

Whether you chase points or distance, you can always beat your opponent to take care of yourself.

Now the Trail Blazers have been given to them by the warriors in their own way.

33:26, the score difference was widened to 7 points again. If the Trail Blazers fell behind in the first half, then they would be in danger.

At this time, Gan Guoyang finally stood up and began to ask for the ball from the low post on the right.

Sometimes people have a mentality that when they are not needed, they are not satisfied with the one-stop 50% off service for you; and when they are hungry like a dog, they can pick up a picture of a woman and they can fly.

The Trail Blazers are now thirsty in offense, and others don’t want to attack anymore. They have never made any shots from the second half of the first quarter to the second quarter.

If this continues, it will become a person who plays playing drums and passes flowers. Whoever receives the last one in 24 seconds will throw it away. If you throw it in, you will take the blame.

Fortunately, before this situation happened, Gan Guoyang stuck out his butt and arched Whitehead under the basket, posing as if he was "firing at me" and took over the hot potato.

"Gan received the ball at a low post and turned over and hooked his hand. He seemed a little anxious... But the ball entered, a 12-foot hook." Once Gan Guoyang felt something in his hand, he didn't need to adjust his hooking hand.

Then, from the 4th minute to the 10th minute of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers offensive end mentioned by the commentator became like this:

"Gan catch the ball in the low post, turn over and hook it up... the ball enters!"

"Gan got the ball in the middle and made a layup successfully... He swept past the Warriors' two defensive players."

"Gan Ji's ball breaks through from the right side, dunks with one hand! Beautiful breakthrough!"

"I'm at 15 feet and I don't have time. I just hooked my hand and the ball went in again!"

"Go back to run, air relay! Beautiful dunk!"

"There is a melee at the basket, and I'm willing to get the rebound, make a layup, miss it, grab it again, miss it, grab it again! Shoot again! The ball is in! The referee's whistle also sounded, the Warriors made a defensive foul, extra free throw!"

...

"Gan covered Mickey Johnson's layup, Trail Blazers' fast break! Colt pushed... How did he pass the ball back to Gan? Gan dribble, drive straight from the middle, take off, a 15-foot dunk!"
Chapter completed!
