Gan Guoyang's stable performance in the second quarter allowed the Trail Blazers to stabilize the situation on the field. They withstood the strong counterattack of the 76ers. Cningham had to call a timeout to reorganize the offense and defense of the 76ers.

One-third of the second quarter has been played, and the main players of both sides will all play. The first half of the game has also entered the final stage, which is the time to set the tone.

In this regard, Ramsey River Cunningham took it very carefully and carefully arranged the troops during the 100 seconds of the long pause.

"Pay attention to the speed of retreating and defense, and even if it is a foul, you must stop the 76ers' fast attack. Our fouls are not large, don't be polite! Sampson, you go to defend Moses, let Gan help defend and control the middle lane more, continue to make a quote against Moses, and give up the defense against mid-range shots. Don't beat the position with the 76ers, fight quickly, we still need to be fast, and we must establish enough advantages in the first half!!" Ramsey shouted loudly.

After many battles with the 76ers, Ramsey has summarized a set of his own experiences.

He insisted that in a team like the 76ers, which has fierce defense and fierce counterattack, he must not beat the position and slow down the pace because he is afraid of the 76ers' defense and counterattack. On the contrary, he must bring up the speed, improve offensive speed and efficiency, and do not give the 76ers the opportunity to play to their advantages.

In fact, in the finals that the 76ers lost to the first three finals, they were teams with better offense and faster offense, rather than dying under strong defense.

Of course, Cunningham is not unaware of this, and he naturally has his way of dealing with it.

But who will win the game to death depends on the players' performance in the end.

"The timeout ends, the game continues, and the Trail Blazers continue to maintain a 6-point lead. Gan's consecutive goals have turned the counterattack of the 76ers into vain. The 76ers must think of ways to stop Gan's attack."

"Gan's performance was indeed beyond my expectations. I have watched many games in Gan's previous games. This yellow-skinned guy is very talented, and his scoring ability and rebounding control are surprising. But his stability is also worrying. Although there may be reasons for the way Ramsey is used, Gan's immaturity is also one of the important factors. But in this game, Gan's performance of stability and intelligence made me feel his maturity and progress."

"In fact, he has been improving all the time. But in 1985, all his progress was concentrated in this game. Let's continue to watch the game. The Trail Blazers serve in the backcourt. Valentine re-played, and he quickly advanced over the half. Gan wanted the ball at the low post... an empty cut... a layup, and the ball went in! Valentine's layup, after passing the ball to Gan, he immediately cut inward. Gan made a simple pass, and Valentine took the ball and directly made a layup!"

The timeout just ended and the game just started, Gan Guoyang used a beautiful support to add two more points to the Trail Blazers at the low post.

A very simple tactical cooperation, Gan Guoyang asked for the ball in a relatively shallow position, and the passer Valentine immediately cut from the middle after passing the ball. Gan Guoyang passed the ball, and Valentine directly made a layup after receiving the ball.

This is also the effect Ramsey hopes to play. While the 76ers' defense has not yet focused, they use this simple small tactic to steal points. Once they have played for several rounds, both sides will be in a state, and this kind of ball will not be played.

"Concentrate! Focus on it! Don't put it in the middle, middle! Don't let them pass and cut the ball easily!" Cningham yelled on the sidelines in a hurry. Sometimes he was a little helpless. The 76ers did begin to age and could no longer maintain high intensity like in the early 1980s.

But the 76ers are not all old guys, Charles Barkley is still on the court, and this time, he will have a direct conversation with Gan Guoyang.

Although Mitchell Sampson suffers from strength and weight, he has rich experience in single defense after all and has been against Moses for many years. He is not afraid of one-on-one defense.

In order to protect Gan Guoyang from fouling again, Ramsey turned to Gan Guoyang to defend Barkley and protected the team's penalty area.

Barkley didn't think about giving Gan Guoyang more energy to care about other things. He had already started to ask for the ball at the low post on the right and wanted to play Gan Guoyang alone.

"Come-on, big-guy, try-you-best-to-love! (Come on, fat man, love hard!" Gan Guoyang teased her with trash words while pushing against Barkley.

When defending Ma Long alone, Gan Guoyang was still relatively restrained, but now he will not be so polite if he switched to defend against the rookie Barkley, who was the same class as him.

Although Barkley was in a rookie year, he was still simple-minded. He was a little brother who was following the big brother, who was dedicated and responsible and followed suit.

Although Moses Malone is a big and thick monster, he has always been taciturn, likes to solve problems with practical actions, and does not like to speak.

Dr. J. Irving is even more humble and has always been a model player on and off the court. Even if he fights Bird, he will be the first to hurt people with his stinky mouth.

So Barkley didn't learn any magical skills from these two big guys. He was tortured once in the Celtics. Unexpectedly, in Portland, he would have to suffer from this rookie of the same year, a Chinese player in his ears.

Barkley suddenly became angry and didn't say anything. After receiving Chicks' pass, he didn't care about it and had to play one single against Gan Guoyang.

But he found that his butt magical skills, which were almost invincible from college to the NBA, had no choice but to face the old tree planting in Gan Guoyang.

No matter how desperately he urged back, Gan Guoyang didn't move at all.

"This fat man is almost as hot as Moses Malone." Gan Guoyang thought while resisting the harassment of Fat Man Ba's buttocks, he had actually tried his best.

Barkley arched back for a long time, almost inch of land, and suddenly became anxious. He didn't care about his teammates' shouts of passing the ball, and after a few rounds of the balls, he was about to turn around forcibly.

"Beep!" This was the referee's whistle.

"Barkley turned around... and he fouled Gan with his elbow. This elbow swing was really obvious. There was no way he could push Gan."

When Barkley couldn't resist Gan Guoyang, he subconsciously used his elbow to hug Gan Guoyang away. The ball was naturally a foul, and Gan Guoyang also took Ba Fatty's elbow, causing his ribs to hurt.

Gan Guoyang was also a little angry now. It would be fine if you can't push me, but you even pushed me with your elbow?

Seeing that he was fouled, Barkley threw the ball in annoyance and prepared to return to defense. Gan Guoyang did not want to let the fat man go. He followed Barkley while starting to mutter in his ear.

"The cowardly guys use such despicable tricks. I will teach you what a low-level single is. If you score, don't cry and go back to find your mother."

"Damn it, I met you earlier, I'd already exhausted all your teeth!" Barkley finally couldn't help but start to fight back.

"I'm waiting for you at home, but I'm afraid you can't even beat the kitten in my doorman." He talked to Gan Guoyang with trash, and Barkley is a little tender now.

But on the basketball court, we still have to compete with real goals.

"Gan continues to ask for the ball at the low post. This time Barkley is replaced to defend Gan! This is a confrontation between rookies in 1984. Everyone has opened up to see their singles!"

The players on both sides obviously realized that these two little guys should be rushing, so they simply asked them to have a one-on-one Cavaliers showdown.

However, Gan Guoyang's singles skills are obviously more proficient than Barkley. He was not very good at it and did not squeeze in. Instead, he dribbled the ball while using his back to test it.

Gan Guoyang was looking for his own attack rhythm, and obviously he wanted to use his own Tiangou.

The biggest disadvantage of Tiangou is that it has long preparations, slow speed, and more dependent on rhythm. The advantage is that it has strong anti-interference ability when taking action.

So once the offensive player completes the preparation movements and finds the rhythm well, it doesn't matter who is defending him and how to defend him.

"Gan dribble to adjust, turn over, hook, ball score! ball score! ball score!" The commentator used three "he-gets-it" in a row to express his excitement, although this was just a simple hook score.

The audience was also in a state of excitement. They knew that Gan Guoyang won a complete victory in this rookie duel.

Ramsey shook his head while standing on the sidelines. He had no choice. The players didn't play as he said, but they continued to expand their advantages, so he naturally couldn't say anything.

The gap between the two sides widened to 10 points, and Gan Guoyang's one pass and one hook showed that his wonderful performance in the second quarter was still continuing.

However, Dr. J. Irving immediately relied on an 18-foot mid-range jump shot to narrow the score gap for the 76ers.

Although Irving's medium and long distance is not a final move, the Trail Blazers are indeed a bit too relaxed to let him go for three steps and two meters like this. Irving's mid-range shot is also very lethal.

In the remaining time of the second quarter, the two sides started a tug-of-war with 8 points and 10 points. The Trail Blazers once widened the maximum score difference to 13 points, but the 76ers still stubbornly narrowed the score difference to 9 points.

Both sides ended the first half with a score of 66:57, and the Trail Blazers consolidated their advantage in the first half and entered a half-time break.

"It's great to do Gan. If you have been so awesome, then I think you have a chance to be the best rookie this season." Walking in the player channel, Ramsey said to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang handed in the first half with a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds. If he continued to play like this, it would be expected that 30 plus 20 in the whole game.

This data is not his best half-court stat, but his scores and rebounds always seem so right, just like timely rain, which can always affect the situation on the court.

This is an important difference between truly understanding and controlling the game and playing around with your eyes closed. It is also a gap between outstanding players and mediocre players.

"I just hope to win the game, and it's best that we can win the championship, so maybe I can get a finals MVP to put it at home to make decorations." Gan Guoyang began to jokingly again.

Ramsey is now increasingly resistant to joking with Gan Guoyang. If Gan Guoyang says he is the strongest player on earth, Ramsey will only smile.

But after hearing Gan Guoyang's words this time, Ramsey felt that perhaps this team really needs to start to have the temperament of a champion, and Gan Guoyang is the key to bringing this momentum.

Of course, the Trail Blazers have only begun to have this temperament. Ramsey, who has once had championship experience, knows that this team still has many difficulties, and at least he dare not take it lightly for the second half of the game.

The advantage of 9 points is not safe at all. With an experienced team like the 76ers, there is too much experience in the 9-point comeback. So Ramsey still carefully arranged the tactical arrangements for the second half during the halftime break.

"Be careful of the explosion of Moses Malone and the 76ers' inside line. You must control the fouls and control the fouls! Continue to maintain control of the backcourt rebounds, which will be the key to the third quarter." Ramsey kept emphasizing.

In the last game against the 76ers, Moses Malone was beaten alone in the third quarter, and the score was widened and finally lost the game.

After learning from one's mistakes, Ramsey doesn't want the Trail Blazers to make somersaults in the third quarter again.

But there is one good news for the Trail Blazers, that is, Moses Malone has already committed three fouls in the first half. If he receives a fourth foul in the third quarter, the threat will be erased from the Trail Blazers' roster.

"The stable offense and tough defense of the Trail Blazers let us see that their current results are not luck, but strength. Of course, the game is not over yet, and the second half will begin. Let's see if the Trail Blazers can withstand the counterattack of the 76ers."

"The third quarter will be a key quarter, and both sides will definitely try their best in this quarter. This will be the quarter that determines the overall trend of the game. Let's see how both sides will deal with it."

The 20-minute intermission soon passed, and after the TV station put up enough advertisements, it cut the camera back to the game scene.

"The game continued, the Trail Blazers served first, and the lineup on both sides was not changed from the first quarter... Valentine... Gan Guoyang dribbled directly and broke through... Foul! Moses Malone's foul! Malone had tried his best to avoid it, but Gan went for him, causing Malone's foul."

At the beginning of the second half, no one expected that Moses Malone, who had three fouls, was extremely cautious and would never foul easily.

However, after running through the half, Gan Guoyang suddenly received the ball near the three-pointer and rushed in. Moses Malone subconsciously made up for a step, but immediately hid to the side.

But Gan Guoyang just resisted the explosive bag and hit Ma Long. Anyway, he had only committed two fouls. If he played a foul on the ball, he would be overwhelmed. If he made a foul on Ma Long, it would be worth it!

Gan Guoyang had a right bet, but Ma Long still couldn't avoid it and was called a foul. Although Gan Guoyang failed to score, his goal had already been achieved.

"The 76ers replaced Moses Malone, and the fans all cheered. This was a huge loss for the 76ers. They lacked a weapon to fight back."

“It’s very, very difficult for 76ers.”
