"Gan cannot get a higher position to catch the ball, and the Trail Blazers' ability to feed the ball on the outside needs to be strengthened. Of course, the absence of their main point guard Valentine did have an impact on their outside transmission...Gan passed the ball to Drexler, suddenly cut in, Drexler lobs, Gan received the ball, dunks! Finally, there was a goal in the sports war."

Gan Guoyang finally scored the Trail Blazers' first goal in the second half, which was a double-player cooperation with Drexler. As Ramsey said, in this case, the simple combination of doubles is more efficient than the team's operation, because there are fewer passes and it is not easy to make mistakes.

But as Haiyin Thorne said, Drexler alone cannot take on the task of feeding Gan Guoyang's ball. In the game against the Rockets, although the Rockets have strong pressure on the outside, they actually do not have strong pressure on the ball. Even if Cort is focused, he can hand the ball well to Gan Guoyang in the position.

However, the Celtics are a typical defense that oppresses the ball and line. Cort and Drexler lack sufficient experience when dealing with such defense. Valentine, who has the highest number of assists per game in the playoffs, is sitting off the court wearing formal clothes and watching the game. He has missed most of the season.

"If the Trail Blazers can't even feed Gan Guoyang well, then they will not be able to exert the power of the strongest scorer in the third quarter of the league. Then in the key third quarter, how should they change the situation on the field... Let's look at this ball, Dennis Johnson broke through, passed the ball, Bird faked his move, threw the ball, and the ball went in! A left-handed throw! Very unexpected, Gan, in the inside, obviously miscalculated Bird's choice, and he did not react."

Every attack by Bird is full of confusion, because you don’t know whether he will attack by himself or pass the ball, if he attacks by himself, will he jump shot, come up, or throw like he did just now.

Even if you know his throwing, you don't know whether he will use his left hand or his right hand. Larry Bird's left hand is as good as his right hand.

The score difference remained at 9 points. On the scene, the Celtics didn't seem to be very hard, there was no crazy pressing, and no full-struggle double-teaming, which seemed to be no big difference from the first half.

But the Trail Blazers' offense is just not instigated. The Celtics players seem to be able to calculate and calculate. They can always stand in the most uncomfortable position for the Trail Blazers players. The replacement is in place and timely, and the rotation is reasonable. The entire defense line is like a rubber wall, not hard, but it can't be broken.

When playing against the Rockets, the Rockets relied on their strong personal defense and the tall figure of the players. After several games of Cort, after dribbling for half of the game, it would be fine to feed Gan Guoyang a ball. If not, Drexler stood up to help organize.

Now, the weakness of the main point guard's absence has been magnified, and no one has sorted out the offense, allowing Drexler to act as a defender. Physical strength is a problem, and the assist ability and organizational sorting ability cannot be completely equal. After all, Drexler is just a third-year young player.

"Decisive, decisive!" Ramsey repeatedly emphasized on the sidelines that he should be decisive. Because of the poor offense, the Trail Blazers players hesitated after getting the ball. Once hesitated, time passed, the players would become more impatient and their offensive efficiency would be greatly reduced.

"It's too late to go, Drexler was double-teamed. He threw the ball out and was willing to get the ball. He had no time. He made a three-pointer... The ball made a buzzer-beating three-pointer! An incredible goal, a center shot a buzzer-beating three-pointer."

The Trail Blazers were really lucky. Drexler broke through himself when he had no choice but to do so, but the route was completely blocked by Dennis Johnson and Parrish who came forward to double-team. At this time, Gan Guoyang happened to run outside the three-point line, and Drexler could only pass the ball to Gan Guoyang.

Seeing that there were only two seconds left, Gan Guoyang could only take action in three points, but the moment he took action, Gan Guoyang felt the arc of the attack, and the strength was quite good.

"This ball is going to enter!" Gan Guoyang just thought, and the ball entered the net hollowly, and the 24-second timer also rang.

Ramsey was also worried on the sidelines. If this offense fails and the Celtics will be beaten, he will be called a timeout again. I have to say that luck is also very important in the basketball court.

However, Gan Guoyang seemed to want to prove that this was not luck.

"Byder got the ball in the middle, turned around and broke through, and suddenly passed the ball. Parish... It was too slow, and the dunk was blocked by Gan! Drexler got the ball, and the Trail Blazers are about to fight back!"

This is the first time the Trail Blazers counterattack in the second half. For a team that loves fast attacks very much, there is too little. There is no way to defend against the opponent's attack, so there is no chance to counterattack quickly.

In this ball, Bird suddenly stepped forward and entered the core area down the free throw line. This area is the area that poses the greatest threat to the defensive end. Bird can attack by himself or pass the ball to all directions.

Bird chose a hidden ground-breaking pass, and the ball reached Parrish's hand, but Gan Guoyang's judgment on the ball was not wrong, and Parrish's movement was slightly slow, and the dunk was slapped off the side by Gan Guoyang.

"The Celtics' return to defense is very fast, but Gan got stuck at the low post. Drexler handed the ball over Gan. Gan took the ball without hesitation, turned around and hooked the ball, and the ball entered."

In the quick counterattack, Gan Guoyang was finally able to catch the ball comfortably in the low post. Although McHale, who was returning to defense, stared at Gan Guoyang, without the help of his teammates, Gan Guoyang pushed his butt, turned around and wiped it into the basket, and his small hook shot with ease.

But before it was over, the Celtics immediately served at the bottom line, trying to take advantage of the Trail Blazers' goal and immediately hit a counterattack. This is also a common trick used by the Celtics, using counterattacks to deal with counterattacks.

But McHale's serve was a little too impatient, and Drexler rushed out of the side and cut off McHale's pass to Dennis Johnson.

"Drexler fell to the ground to intercept the ball, he passed the ball out, and he was willing to get the ball... He shot three-pointer!"

The problem with the Celtics' goal is that because he pursued counterattack speed too much, Dennis Johnson ran to the center line to catch McHale's pass, which saved time in the halftime. As a result, Drexler rushed forward and grabbed the ball, but he almost rushed out of the sideline. The moment Johnson rushed over, he passed the ball to Gan Guoyang, who was standing at the top of the three-point arc.

Gan Guoyang was running back to defense. As soon as he ran outside the three-point line, Drexler intercepted the ball and then passed it over.

After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang hesitated for a second. He did not wait for his teammates to come back to play the position, nor did he dribble the ball to the inside line. Instead, he aimed outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"Swish!"

Boston Garden Plaza suddenly became much quieter. A center who once scored 31 points in the third quarter of this field scored 8 points in a minute, including two three-pointers. How can this not leave fans speechless?

The score difference suddenly narrowed to one point, and the Trail Blazers' bench was excited, only Ramsey, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. This guy Gan Guoyang is too brave.

"Everyone of the Trail Blazers was worried about Gan's hook in the inside, so they tried their best to not let Gan catch the ball, but unexpectedly, Gan actually chose a three-pointer! When did this guy start to have this move?" As a staunch supporter of the Celtics, Heinthorne had to sigh at the magic of Gan Guoyang at this time.

You know, the league's first three-pointer is in the opposite lineup, and he averages only 2.4 three-pointers per game. The Trail Blazers averages only 0.8 three-pointers per game in the regular season, less than one. Today, Gan Guoyang scored two goals by himself. How can it not be surprising?

Casey Jones made a lot of calculations. Even if Van derwich and Paxson scored three-pointers, Gan Guoyang scored three-pointers, and they still scored two.

In an era when three-pointers cannot be called tactics, in an era when there were less than one three-pointer per game in the league season, Gan Guoyang's two three-pointers, especially the second one, were really shocking. This was the finals.

However, the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers knew that Gan Guoyang had two three-pointers, which must be lucky, but it was definitely inseparable from his extra training after every day.

No one understands why a center in Gan Guoyang has to practice mid-range and long shots every day, but he just persisted. The regular season three-pointer did not become his weapon, but in the finals of the teeth, any skill that can hurt the opponent must be used.

"Kill beautiful, but sometimes you have to take care of my heart." Ramsey patted Gan Guoyang and said.

……………………

Casey Jones is not very anxious about the one-point gap. The Trail Blazers' offense is obviously lucky. Tactically, the Celtics still maintain this suppression. Jones is not worried on the offensive end. He fully trusts the experience and strength of these old frymen.

After returning to the court, McHale played singles at a low post, causing Mitchell Sampson to foul. After two free throws, he once again stabilized his position.

"Mitchell Sampson seems to be unable to deal with McHale anymore. McHale has scored 17 points, second only to Bird in the Celtics... The Trail Blazers, they still can't find a way to feed the ball to the inside. They changed Cauchy to the court and let Drexler play the point guard, but the Celtics still shrank very well. Drexler also tried to shoot from the outside... Didn't touch the basket! Sampson grabbed this ball, and was blocked by McHale, and the Celtics counterattacked!"

Seeing that the defender was quite far away from him, Drexler tried to jump shot from 21 feet in one step, but the basket was not even hit. Sampson was lucky enough to pick up the ball, but the layup was covered.

Bird got the ball and started a fast break, but Danny Angie's jump shot was blocked by Cauchy who caught up with him!

The biggest advantage of the Trail Blazers who lack experience and tactics is their fighting spirit. Cauchy, who had just started playing, watched Anji catch the ball and rushed to the basket. He suddenly remembered that Anji likes to jump shots instead of layups in fast breaks.

So he slowed down suddenly. Angie thought that with just one emergency stop, Cauchy would rush over, and then he would finish the jump shot. Unexpectedly, Cauchy was not fooled, and Angie's jump shot was knocked down by Cauchy.

"The Trail Blazers fought back! Kossi was pushing with the ball, he didn't know what to do, and passed the ball to Gan. Gan was standing outside the three-point line, and he would try... and took another three-pointer!"

How could Cauchy organize the offense? In the finals, he didn't play much time and panic as soon as he got the ball, and subconsciously passed the ball to the No. 1 person. As a result, the ball came to Gan Guoyang, who was on the way back to defense and ran halfway.

Gan Guoyang threw another three-pointer, and this time he did not hesitate.

Because he knew that his hands were getting hot.
