Many times, Jordan has long been accustomed to relying on his personal strength to lead the team to victory, not only leading his teammates, but even his coach. His inner desire for victory urges him to move forward forever, but at the same time makes him full of distrust of the people around him because others are not good enough.

Grant was not good enough. After the team manager replaced Jordan's best friend Oakley, he felt that this power forward, who looked similar to Oakley, was far inferior to Oakley, not hard enough, not strong enough, not good enough. Tonight, he was beaten by Gan Guoyang and could not defend himself one-on-one at all.

Pippen is not good enough. He is a tall and thin small forward with good physical fitness, but he doesn't look like he has any offensive talent. He is much worse than Jordan's senior brother James Worthy. Moreover, Jordan doesn't like this guy being lazy and holding a big face all day long. So Jordan likes to spur this little brother in his usual training and stimulate Pippen with trash words and singles. Only at this time can this No. 33 do his best, and Jordan will find it more interesting.

It's just a little more interesting. For Jordan, fighting Gan Guoyang alone is the most interesting thing he finds.

The two of them also have strong fighting spirit and a strong desire to win. No one admits their defeat. Often, the two start one-on-one in the training hall, and basically explain it to the day. They will not stop until dark.

What Jordan admires most is his learning ability. In the offseason, Gan Guoyang, as the center, would definitely suffer if he didn't use the inside skills, but his dribbling was very outstanding, with various exciting moves emerging one after another, many of which were just learned and sold directly from Jordan. He, a big man, could always do it perfectly.

Of course, the final result is that Gan Guoyang often wins more, because at the last moment, Gan Guoyang will use the "Invincible Butt Technique" and let Jordan grab it again. As soon as Gan Guoyang uses the center skills to attack, he will also catch it blindly, but at the same time, this also made Jordan realize the importance of back-on attack.

Tonight, Jordan was always worried about one thing in his heart. Gan Guoyang had already scored 52 points in the third quarter, but the scores obtained by back-to-back singles were not much. It was more of a shot from the basket, a second offense after grabbing the offensive rebound, and a jump shot after pick-and-roll cooperation. Obviously, Gan Guoyang was saving energy.

A center striker takes more than 30 times. If each one is forced to fight back, he will lose energy in two quarters, no matter how outstanding his physical strength is.

Jordan understood that Gan Guoyang was accumulating strength, but Jordan himself could no longer keep his strength.

"Michael Jordan broke through the middle and forced a layup! The ball made a foul by the Trail Blazers player, Sabonis's foul, the fifth foul, Jordan faced the three-man siege, and threw the ball into the basket with a magical dodge in the air, and had the chance to score a three-pointer." For such a ball, Dick Stockton was even reluctant to explain with an overly passionate voice, because there were too many.

Jordan held the ball and relied on a cover to kill directly from the middle, and pushed the ball up under the siege of multiple people. It was obvious in the air that Jordan jumped earlier than others, but fell to the ground later than others, and the speed was obviously faster than others. At the same time, someone hanging on his body also threw the ball in. He was too strong, too fast, and too able to jump.

Jordan stood on the free throw line, and the fourth quarter had already been played for more than half. Jordan had already raised his score to 63 points, which was his career score record. As long as he scored another goal, he could break his current highest scoring record.

"Jordan's free throw, this free throw, the difference between the Bulls and the Trail Blazers will be narrowed to five points, and will set a new record for his own scoring. The Bulls need his scoring... Missed the free throw, oh, Williams grabbed the rebound! Jordan missed the free throw, which is a pity."

Obviously, Jordan was tired. When he stood on the free throw line, he unconsciously supported his knees with his hands to rest. Indeed, this is not a score-making game with a weak team, but a defensive battle with a strong team.

The biggest difference between the fourth quarter and the first three quarters is that Jordan not only has to attack, but also defend and defend Jim Paxson. Paxson's jump shot suddenly became fatal in the fourth quarter, very fatal. He hit three three-pointers alone, offsetting all Jordan's score. If Clegg Hogans, who came on the bench on the Bulls, also hit two three-pointers, the gap between the two sides would only get bigger and bigger.

As a shooting guard, Jordan must take the initiative to lock Paxson. He cannot watch Paxson stabbing his team, so Jordan began to defend Paxson one-on-one and let Paxson not score any more.

Jordan also paid the price for this, that is, he was too tired. When he saw the Trail Blazers coach Adelman reach out and called a timeout, Jordan even felt a little thankful to Adelman. Calling a timeout with four minutes to give him a breath.

At this time, the Trail Blazers had already controlled the situation on the field. Unlike the Bulls, the Trail Blazers' overall strength was better. Without scoring in the fourth quarter, Parkson made a sudden three-pointer. Cauchy and Buck Williams played the role of assault soldiers, violently hitting the inside, helping the Trail Blazers maintain their lead in the score.

Adelman also wanted to ask for a timeout to stabilize the situation and play the last four minutes.

"We have mastered the rhythm, we performed well, and our offense has improved. Now we want to give them the last blow, and we can't give their opponents any chance. Four minutes and 7 points advantage, and we must maintain it until the end. The offensive success rate is our lifeline. If you hit it inside, you will cause damage to them!"

Adelman said as he picked up the tactical board in his hand and began to arrange a tactical routine for the players. The content of the tactics is very simple, which is to make a goal for the inside player Gan Guoyang.

From the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang has always been restraining himself, his desire to score, and his idea of ​​confrontation with Jordan. A small impatience will cause trouble.

Gan Guoyang knew that Jim Paxson's recovery was definitely a good sign for the Trail Blazers, and once the shooting guard was opened, the Trail Blazers' overall offense came alive immediately. Without a single restraining point on the court, the defensive pressure faced by other players would be less, and the Trail Blazers' transfer ball became smoother.

The Trail Blazers finally began to score players other than Gan Guoyang, but the Bulls on the opposite side still had to rely on Jordan to score points, which meant more rest time for Gan Guoyang, and he also needed a lot of rest.

In the first three quarters, Gan Guoyang tried to use easier means to get points, not only because he also paid a lot on the defensive end, but also because he wanted to keep his energy until the end.

Now, it's time to show your sharp minions to complete the throat lock.

"The game continues, and the Bulls are still six points behind the Trail Blazers. With four minutes, they still have a chance. Obviously, the Trail Blazers recovered in the fourth quarter. Their smooth offensive cooperation has come back after disappearing for three quarters. On the Bulls, Jordan is working hard to support him. How long can he last?"

"We should note that on the Trail Blazers, Gan never took any shots in the fourth quarter. He was always playing ball for his teammates. He was just like Jordan in the first three quarters, but he became a team player in the first half of the fourth quarter. However, it is still difficult for us to predict what will happen in the last four minutes."

The performances of Gan Guoyang and Jordan tonight made Rick Barry have no flaws to be picky about, and all he could do was praise.

"The two sides returned to the court and the Blazers served on the sideline. This offense was very critical. Let's see, Porter served on the sideline and directly passed the ball to Gan at the low post. Gan's position was very deep... Jordan intercepted the ball! Jordan interrupted the pass this time. The pass distance was too far, and the intention was too obvious... Jordan passed the ball to Pippen, Pippen's fast attack!"

This time, Gan Guoyang slid from the right bottom line to the left low post to the ball. This is a very common low post key tactic, but the intention is too obvious. Porter was also a bit far from Gan Guoyang, but he was intercepted by Jordan, and Pippen got the ball and went straight to the basket.

"The key layup... was blocked by Gan from the back! One is a good move! The referee did not call a foul! One is a good move! Gan's eighth block in this game." Dick Stockton's voice suddenly rose octave because Gan Guoyang knocked Pippen's layup away with a big hat behind him, and the ball flew to Cauchy who was following him.

"Why doesn't Pippen dunk? Why doesn't he dunk? Why? A 6-7 striker, a sophomore young man, who can jump from the free throw line, has no one in front, why doesn't he dunk?" Rick Barry shook his head and questioned.

The audience at the scene must also be asking why Pippen didn't dunk, but instead chose a layup, but now he couldn't give an answer.

Jordan's flying steal did not turn into a score, and the difference was still 7 points.

Then, Porter's pass was no longer so careless. He fed the ball to Gan Guoyang again, but Jordan did not dare to go up and make up for defense easily because Paxson was waiting in the bottom corner, so Gan Guoyang pushed Korzin with his back and made a small hook with an easy left hand, and the difference became 8 points.

One flew into a big hat and the other hugged easily. It was obvious that Gan Guoyang was quite physically strong at this time, and his energy was almost accumulated.

As the Trail Blazers continued to feed Gan Guoyang, Gan Guoyang's huge power at the low post showed up. The Bulls players were no longer able to double-team Gan Guoyang. Their physical strength was exhausted, and their morale was wiped out with Gan Guoyang's continuous goals. The whole game of hard work and hard work fell in the last few minutes, and even fell in the layup and was gayed.

The Trail Blazers are also extremely thrilling. If Pippen hits the ball and the score difference becomes 4 points, the situation will be completely different. Gan Guoyang's fatal blocking holds the victory firmly in his hand.

"The game is over! In a great game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Bulls away, but this game belongs to two people, Gan and Jordan. This is the first time in the NBA that two players all scored 60 points in the same game. The total score of both of them is more than all the other players combined!"

Perhaps, the result of this game is not that important. Gan Guoyang and Jordan hugged in the center of the venue after the game. The victory and loss have become a simple number and remained in the historical record book, but a great performance between the two men has become an eternal memory of a generation.
