Last summer, Jim Paxson and Gan Guoyang practiced three-pointers together in the training hall. At that time, Jim Paxson thought that even a center forward like Gan Guoyang could be able to make three-pointers.

If he is so good at shooting, how can he be inferior to him as a defender?

As early as the rookie of Gan Guoyang, Paxson actually didn't like Gan Guoyang, except that because Gan Guoyang and Drexler had a good relationship, Drexler was competing with him.

In addition to winning the starting position, there is another thing that he always feels that a big man like Gan Guoyang stays to practice three-pointers every night, and practicing long-range shots is purely incompetent.

Paxson was a very orthodox shooting guard in college. At that time, he was very skilled in the basic skills of various shooting guards, which was why he was able to make a fortune under Ramsey.

The reason is that Ramsey likes defenders like him, and he is also a little overwhelmed by aliens like Gan Guoyang and Drexler.

However, as these two very talented young people grew rapidly, especially Gan Guoyang, the growth was astonishingly fast, while Parkson fell down due to repeated injuries.

From starting to substitute, from main rotation to marginal person.

However, this also calmed Paxson's mentality. He would no longer have conflicts with the head coach for the starter - that was the last thing he regretted in his life.

As a veteran, he saw more and more shining points in Gan Guoyang. His hard work, his competitiveness, his big heart, his care and help to his teammates, all this was long ago.

This made Paxson change his view on Gan Guoyang.

When Paxson discovered one day that Gan Guoyang had gone from a rookie who could only score in the three-second zone to a center whose attack range expanded to the three-point line, the three-pointer had already become

For new weapons that every team in the league is developing.

Whenever I see that Gan Guoyang can use long shots to destroy the opponent's defense in the game, change the situation on the court with three points, and even control the outcome of the game, Parkson is deeply involved.

I deeply felt that the Queen Mother had realized it. If he had developed the ability of three points as soon as possible, perhaps he could have a more stable position in the Trail Blazers.

It is not too late to make up for the loss. Paxson, who has a good shooting foundation, practices three-pointers hard in the summer. He has a large amount of shooting training every day and cannot hold the knife and fork at night.

But the injury knocked him down again, which undoubtedly hit Paxson a huge blow, but now, he still has a glimmer of hope. No one wants to see Drexler's injury, but back then

It was Paxson's injury and absence that gave Drexler the opportunity to take the lead. Now it's Paxson's turn to win a position for himself.

"Come-on! Paxson!" Gan Guoyang shouted after passing the ball, and then watched Paxson catch the ball and immediately jumped in without any drag.

A three-pointer shot from my brother's head.

"Jim takes action!" Because there are two Paxsons on the court and they are brothers, Dick Stockton also called him his name directly.

The ball drew an arc, but Gan Guoyang saw that the arc was somewhat flat, and he was ready to grab the rebound.

However, the ball hit the basket twice and finally fell into the basket. Paxson made a three-pointer.

"The Trail Blazers' second three-pointer in this game finally made a three-pointer from Gan Guoyang. Otherwise, the only three-pointer in the game was actually the center hit.

, that's incredible."

After scoring the goal, Paxson stepped forward and slapped Gan Guoyang for a high-five. It was unknown how long it took for the two of them to complete a cooperation on the court, let alone Paxson scored a three-pointer.

"This bodes well for the Trail Blazers. They were extremely lacking in outside firepower in the first three quarters, and the most important thing for the pitchers is confidence. I think Paxson already has confidence."

As one of the best pitchers in NBA history, Rick Barry can't understand the psychology of a shooter.

Sure enough, the impact of this three-pointer exceeded many people's imagination.

When Jim Paxson hit a three-pointer at the same position in the subsequent offense, the Bulls' contraction defense lasted for most of the game and finally changed.

In the first half of the game, the Bulls took advantage of Deluxler's absence and expanded as much as possible to limit the Blazers' outside shooting. Porter, the Trail Blazers' number one three-pointer, was defended.

None of them made a long shot.

After losing the Trail Blazers' shooting feeling from the outside, the Bulls began to shrink their defense line with more effort. The Trail Blazers' shooting more and less confident. The Bulls' defense is more and more confident.

If the Bulls hadn't been worse than the Trail Blazers' overall strength, and the Trail Blazers' defense line was also strong, the score would have been widened in the middle of the third quarter.

Paxson's belated outside attack revitalized the Trail Blazers' offense like timely rain. He lived everywhere. The already powerful Trail Blazers discovered the Bulls' iron.

After the barrel array had been torn apart, it immediately rushed forward.

"Paxson got the ball in the bottom corner again, but he passed the ball to Cauchy who cut in, and Cauchy scored a layup! Assisted from Parkson! Very beautiful cooperation. The Bulls are going to call the temporary

It stopped, and the Trail Blazers recovered in the fourth quarter, and the players seemed to be recovering."

As Cauchy received a pass from Paxson and made a layup with an empty cut, the Trail Blazers slowly opened the score in the fourth quarter, 91:83, the difference between the two sides reached the largest in the game.

With 8 points, Bulls coach Collins can only call a timeout.

When defending this thing, once the opponent finds a hole, it will only make it bigger and bigger, and the blood will flow more and more. You must stop in time to stop the bleeding.

Collins doesn't have many cards in his hand. Scott Pippen is in the second grade. He really doesn't see much of this iron-blooded defensive formation tonight, and it's obviously not suitable.

He played a mess on the offense and did not have enough experience in defense. He just now went to defend Jim Paxson, but Cauchy missed it, and was successfully cut by Cauchy.

Needless to say, Horiz Grant, who was asked to defend Gan Guoyang in the first half, was beaten so much that he didn't know him anymore.

Collins decisively asked Grange to change to assist in defense. If Sabonis had not had enough experience, he would have been killed by Jordan from the way up. His inside offense was not very powerful tonight, otherwise

The Twin Towers Trail Blazers wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Therefore, Collins only has Jordan's card. After the start of the fourth quarter, Jordan did not attack with all his strength, but instead made a goal for his teammates. The reason is very simple, because Gan Guo

Yang did not attack with all his might.

In the third quarter, Jordan scored 54 points, two more points than Gan Guoyang. It was almost like this that the two people went back and forth, I scored one point and you scored one point. Jordan always led the score in his personal score.

A little bit, while Gan Guoyang's team has to score more points.

Now, Jordan is not seeing the rabbit or showing off his eagle. He is not just competing, but knows that in terms of scoring explosive power, Gan Guoyang is comparable to him. If he eliminates the energy in advance, he will eliminate the energy in advance.

If he consumed it, he would not be able to prevent Gan Guoyang from giving him a fatal blow from behind, and he must keep his strength.

But the problem is that Gan Guoyang has better teammates and better teams than Jordan. Even if Drexler is not there, the Trail Blazers are better teams than the Bulls. When the fourth quarter starts

When the Blazers began to recover and suppress the Bulls, Jordan could not wait any longer, he had to carry the team forward.

Moreover, he not only has to contribute on offense, but also suppress Paxson on defense. Paxson's three-pointer in the fourth quarter was too fatal.

In Building 17, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the sun was already shining in the sky. Two hours had passed since the live broadcast at 8 o'clock, and the game continued.

The old man sitting on the sofa suddenly extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stood up from the sofa. The guard beside him hurriedly asked, "Chief, don't you look..."

The old man walked to the window and waved his hand to the guard. The guard immediately realized that he had lost his composure and quickly closed his mouth. He was afraid that the leader would not be able to look at him, so he lost the

He asked out.

"If you come and beat me, you will be stuck when you sit down. If you are afraid of dirty diseases, you will be stuck." The old man said with a smile. He is over 80 years old and has experienced so many thrilling experiences.

At the moment, he was also watching a basketball game, and he didn't expect that a basketball game in the United States would take so long that he needed to stand up and move.

"Oh, why didn't this No. 11 score? It was so powerful before, but now I just passed the ball, and I saw that No. 23 scored and the score was about to catch up."

The guards were much more uneasy than the old man. I was very anxious when I saw the changes in the scores on the court. He had never seen such a wonderful and intense basketball game before.

, it is much more exciting than the national team and the National Games.
