After Gan Guoyang turned over and dunked with a double-handed dunk, there was no trace on Ewing's face like an ancient giant.

This young man from Jamaica had long forged a calm and resolute personality in Georgetown, so he did not respond to Gan Guoyang's provocation, but stood at the bottom line to serve.

If the ball was replaced by Olajuwon, the powerful boy from Africa - at that time he had not become a humble and self-disciplined Muslim, he would either have one in the offense or directly fight with Gan Guoyang.

During the offseason, the two of them sparked a lot of sparks.

This may be the difference between Ewing and the other two. He is a perfect team player, but in this commercial heroism league, he lacks a sense of decisive heroism.

"Gan's dunk is really powerful. Ewing may not have expected Gan to turn so quickly. Like lightning, Ewing must adapt to the NBA defense, and there is no joint defense here." Tom Heinthorne "kindly reminded" Ewing.

At this time, the Knicks called a timeout. Huby Brown seemed to want to use a timeout to calm Ewing down and not be stimulated by Gan Guoyang's provocation, but he didn't know that Ewing was unmoved at all.

"Try to defeat him in the inside, but the most urgent thing is to defend. We need to improve the intensity of the defense. Their personal abilities are not strong, so don't let their passes be too smooth." Ramsey asked the Trail Blazers to catch defense and rely on defense to open the score.

The 20-second pause ended soon. The Trail Blazers made a little personnel adjustment. Ramsey replaced Terry Porter on the court. Valentine had a minor foot injury today. He was beaten a little badly by Roy Sparrow in the first quarter.

"Prevent Sparrow and give him some pressure." Ramsey patted Porter. The rookie had won Ramsey's trust. He was taller, stronger, and had the same steady style. He was extremely hardworking in training.

Ramsey wanted Porter to put some pressure on Sparrow, but he didn't expect that he actually put pressure on Porter. After all, he is a first-year rookie and has only played a few NBA games.

In particular, he is facing Sparrow, who has five years of NBA experience and is in his year of playing.

Although Sparro is just a four-round pick, he is a player who is not sure where he was thrown into and was picked out. He is the most unrespected small point guard. He is fast, but thin, short, and lacks strength.

But what he can gain in the NBA is hard work, hard work, and endless struggle on the court.

In his second year of entering the NBA, he was traded to Atlanta and firmly took the position of starting point guard, averaging 10 points and 5 assists per game. He was traded to the Knicks and became the starting point guard of the Knicks.

Now, he has become a small point guard with extensive regular season experience.

"Sparo has scored 7 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. Now the Trail Blazers have replaced the rookie Porter to see if this young man can cool down Sparo...Sparo passed the ball to Bennett, Ewing was on the left, but he was very dead by Ganca. The ball reached Wilkins' hand. Wilkins made a step forward in the dribbling, jumped up and passed the ball, and gave Sparo, and Sparo made a shot! Oh roar~ In the ninth point in the first quarter, Sparo rewrites the score to 19:20, and the Knicks overtook again."

Sparrow did not fight Porter hard, but started to run actively after transferring the ball, and ran around from 45 degrees on the right to the bottom line on the left.

Ewing was almost unable to stand firm when he was pushed by Gan Guoyang, so Bennett naturally couldn't pass the ball to him, so he gave Wilkins who was receiving from the middle.

Wilkins wanted to break through, but found that Gan Guoyang was eyeing him in the inside. Even if Ewing was let go, he would block the middle lane. He rushed in from the middle and most likely would be hit.

But Porter lost Sparrow, Wilkins passed the ball to Sparrow and made a shot without anyone defending.

"Cunning guy." Gan Guoyang gave the little point guard a comment in his heart.

Sparro's several scorings were not achieved by rushing and hitting, but by relying on accurate running positions, he got a good shooting opportunity before taking action. It just so happened that he felt good today and he scored several shots.

Gan Guoyang has to spend more time taking care of Ewing today, and it is impossible to fill up all the holes on the outside, so Sparro seems so at ease.

"Follow people, don't stare at the ball, leave everyone else to me." Gan Guoyang reminded Terry Porter.

Porter could only nod, but this sentence seemed easy to say. After actually standing on the court, especially for small players, there were long people around him. Sparrow might not be able to find anyone if he had a little circle inside.

As a rookie, Porter still lacks defensive experience. He doesn't know how to use his position and footsteps to make it easier for him to follow others, let alone set up defensive traps.

But the Knicks soon fell into a disadvantage because the Trail Blazers' powerful offensive machine started.

"Drexler received Gan's pass and passed the ball to Sampson. Sampson dunked! Beautiful pass and beautiful cooperation."

In a quick attack, Gan Guoyang received the ball at the low post, and then passed the ball to Drexler who cut from the middle. Drexler faced Bennett who was making up for defense, and another clever pass was passed to Sampson, who made a strong dunk.

"I'm willing to get the backcourt rebound and pass the ball to Porter, and Porter pushes... a long pass! Drexler catches the ball under the basket and picks the basket! Drexler's fingertips have made great progress."

"Yes, he felt more and more like Irving during the fast break. When he saw him going down, I felt that 'The Blazers are going to score again!'"

The Trail Blazers seized another opportunity, and Terry Porter boldly passed the ball to Drexler. He jumped near the three-second zone under the siege of three people.

He did not use fake moves to shake the opponent away because there were too many three people. When he reached the last one, the first person might jump again.

So he simply used his super bounce speed to rise again, gently lift the basket with his fingers, crossed the defender's fingertips, and scored the ball into it.

When the first quarter ended, the Knicks trailed the Trail Blazers by 8 points 26:34. It was not that the Knicks' offense was not good, but that the Trail Blazers' offense was too strong.

"The Knicks now make me feel that they lack talent. Apart from Ewing, they do not have a player with strong personal abilities to break the offensive deadlock. You know, tactics do not always work, and when the tactics come out, someone needs to throw the ball into that damn basket." Tom Heinthorne pointed out the current dilemma of the Knicks. They have no talent, and the only talented man has just begun to craft it.

Their number one star is now recuperating at home. If Bernard King is there, the pressure on the Blazers will definitely be very huge.

"Yes, just like the Boston Celtics, there was a Russell, and then assisted with various outside All-Stars to set a record of eight consecutive championships."

"Don't forget, I'm a power forward, hahaha." Tom Haynthorne was afraid that Dick Stockton would miss him.

The two CBS TV commentators said half of the second quarter, because the scenes of the game were really not very good.

In the first quarter, they also relied on tactical literacy and Sparrow's resistance to the Knicks for a period of time. They suddenly collapsed in the second quarter and their attack fell into a completely silent state.

In addition to finding a single shot, Ewing could not beat Gan Guoyang at all, but he was defended by this senior who entered the NBA a year earlier. Ewing discovered that Gan Guoyang's strength and single defense skills had evolved to a terrible level.

Except Ewing, no one else has the ability to attack independently. Except for Bernard King, the Knicks cannot play accidents, and another all-around scorer in the team, Pat Cummins, also did not play due to injury.

A team without independent offensive ability is a tragic situation. No strategy is needed when the opponent defends. Don’t attack, don’t defend in advance, don’t shrink, don’t press, just a simple defense and one.

"Oh my God, the Knicks' offense has no backbone at all. They don't know how to play anymore. If the Trail Blazers had not had a good shooting percentage today, I think the score gap would only be even bigger." When Dick Stockton said this, the Trail Blazers were already 15 points ahead of the Knicks.

"I feel that Gan doesn't seem to want to attack very much. Let's see, he has already sent 5 assists tonight, which is very rare, and his score is only 8 points and not many singles."

As Heinthorne said, Gan Guoyang won another backcourt rebound, and a long pass passed the ball to Van derwich. Van derwich made a jump shot from the bottom line, but failed to make the ball.

Back to back still has a great impact on the physical strength of Trail Blazers players. Their feel is generally average, but experienced Trail Blazers attackers still use breakthroughs and free throws to continuously widen the gap between the two sides.

For the Knicks, the most deadly thing is that they cannot score the goal by themselves. Once they fall into the position, they will almost no longer be able to attack and can only rely on offense and defense to get the points.

Soon, Gan Guoyang was replaced by Jones before the end of the second quarter, but judging from the first half, the so-called showdown between Ewing and Gan Guoyang was not so exciting. There were not many one-on-one conversations between the two, and there was no scene of you playing one and I and the other.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the Knicks for being too weak or the Trail Blazers for being too strong, making the game one-sided.

"Fuck, I'm having another blow." Gan Guoyang sat on the bench and said in Chinese, no one understood what he was saying.
