The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself, and the principle of fighting against a rabbit. Gan Guoyang always remembers it in his heart, because there are too many things that have lost Jingzhou because of underestimating the enemy. In the past, present, and future, such things will happen repeatedly.

For the audience and fans, this is the charm of competitive sports, and for the team, this is a trap that cannot be seen clearly, making people tremble and walk on thin ice.

During the regular season, Gan Guoyang would occasionally take a nap and would play more relaxed when encountering more relaxed games. Of course, after listening to Dr. J Irving's advice in Philadelphia, Gan Guoyang also put a tight spring on himself.

In the playoffs, the excited Gan Guoyang completely removed the energy limit bar on his body and entered the highest combat state. Although he had provoked many times before the game, he actually attached great importance to this opponent in his heart. Chris Mullin and Richmond's backcourt combination attack power is quite considerable, and the head coach of the Warriors is Don Nelson. Gan Guoyang doesn't want the miracle of 65 wins the team and being black eight to happen 20 years ahead of schedule.

After the game begins, the Trail Blazers also play inside. The playoffs are different from the regular season. Use of fast counterattacks requires caution. Playing against opponents casually at the beginning can easily bring up the rhythm and feel. Once this happens, it may be difficult to play in the subsequent games.

Therefore, in the playoffs, you must play inside and play success rate at the beginning of the offense. At the same time, you should focus more on the defensive end. Don’t find the offensive feeling for the opponent, so that the opponent’s scorer will spend more time looking for the feel.

Therefore, as the offensive point with the highest efficiency in the league at low posts, Gan Guoyang took on the heavy responsibility of getting points at the beginning.

"In the first offense on the court, Gan got the ball at the low post. On the left, he was most familiar with him. Gan observed it and pushed Ralph Sampson away! Hit the hook! The Trail Blazers' first point in the playoffs this season, from Gan's hook score!"

In the first goal, Gan Guoyang easily hit the hook, and it was Ralph Sampson who defended Gan Guoyang. However, Sampson was no longer as brave as he was. Sampson missed more than 20 games this season, and his knee injury caused the super power forward who once flew to the sky and the earth torture. At this time, he has become a character inside who averaged only ten points per game and only five rebounds, and is not even an excellent character insider.

Moreover, even Ralph Sampson at his peak was not a match for Gan Guoyang. In the 1986 Western Conference Finals, Olajuwon was the one who really pushed the Trail Blazers into a desperate situation. Sampson was always restricted and performed very well.

Now, Gan Guoyang's offensive skills are extremely mature. The Warriors' defense is a little hesitant at the beginning. The outside players are ready to move after Gan Guoyang got the ball, but they don't really go forward to double-team. Gan Guoyang is naturally not polite. Sampson's body cannot resist Gan Guoyang at all, and Gan Guoyang can take action easily.

Soon, when Gan Guoyang began to score continuously, Nelson couldn't sit still. He didn't expect Gan Guoyang to be in such a fast state. He thought Gan Guoyang would drag it behind and then exert force, but Gan Guoyang was not polite at all. As long as he had the opportunity, he would never show mercy, hook his hands, turn over and jump shot, and eat at the basket. The Warriors' inside strength was originally weak and could not withstand Gan Guoyang's tossing.

The Warriors were unable to start the situation on the offensive end. The Trail Blazers' defense expanded greatly and was very oppressive. Both Warriors scorers rely on outside shooting. One of the team did not have strong attack points in the inside and the other did not have passers with strong pass penetration. Facing the Trail Blazers' high-pressure defense, the offensive rotation was quite difficult.

Moreover, Gan Guoyang's harassment range on the defensive end was also very large. He returned to the state of the big spider again. You should know that in some regular season games, Gan Guoyang did not need to exert force on the defensive end, just grab the gun and rebound, and could win by relying on offense to the Trail Blazers. However, in the playoffs, Gan Guoyang once again showed the style of the best defensive player, and his pressure on people and balls was very strong. Tired running and filling in positions would make people think that he was the blue-collar coolie of the Trail Blazers.

17:5, the Trail Blazers played the Warriors at 17:5. Don Nelson saw Gan Guoyang successfully stealing from outside the three-point line and passing the ball to Porter. After Porter scored a one-stop layup, he finally couldn't help but gestured to the referee and asked for a timeout. This situation was expected by Don Nelson, but it seemed that it was a bit too fast.

"keep-pas private on, keep-pas private on! (Keep alive, stay alive!)" When the game was suspended, Gan Guoyang did not forget to shout to everyone. He knew that sometimes the team would slack off after the attack wave. He wanted to remind everyone that no matter how many points they were ahead, they should keep passion and vitality.

The noise at the scene also reached the maximum. Players and coaches on both sides had to use the maximum decibel volume and their own player arrangements. The fanatical passion of the Trail Blazers home fans not only infected the players, but also brought great pressure to the Warriors.

Don Nelson made adjustments after the timeout and used the tactic he developed, which was to send Manut Pole to the center position, let Sampson play power forward, and then the two defended Gan Guoyang together.

Boer is 7-foot-7 and Sampson is 7-foot-3. The inside line composed of two people may be the highest inside line combination in NBA history, but the two are also thin enough, especially Boer, who is so tall and weighs only 200 pounds.

"Nelson replaced Boer and formed a super double tower with Sampson, but why do I always feel that this is futile? Doesn't Nelson know the power of Gan's shooting from the outside?" Seanley saw that Nielson replaced Boer, and he could see that Gan Guoyang is definitely not a player who can only score in the inside.

However, what ordinary commentators can see, will Nelson not see?

In fact, Nelson certainly knew Gan Guoyang's deterrence power on the outside, and knew that he had a glorious history of a man who threw himself to death, but Nelson was a coach who liked to go astray. This can be seen from his future guidance experience. He had accumulated too many people as early as the Bucks, and at that time, Nelson's Bucks were always the nemesis of the Trail Blazers.

However, the Bucks relies on their strong outside defense to curb the Trail Blazers' outside offensive group, while the Bucks relies on accumulating long men.

Nelson understood that players like Gan Guoyang and Jordan were like goalkeepers saving penalty. It was very difficult to really rely on reactions to judge the penalty, so some goalkeepers simply missed and rushed in one direction. As long as they missed it once, they would win.

For these super scorers, Nelson also decided to be Moon. He sent Bohr and Sampson to block the inside line and create difficulties, and then let Gan Guoyang choose to shoot outside. No matter whether he can make a shot or not, he is considered unlucky if he can make a shot or not.

This defensive method seems negative, but in fact it is to lead the opponent to a relatively inefficient offensive approach. No matter how accurate Gan Guoyang's outside shot is, it is still accurate, but the strong attack at the basket is even more uncommon. In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers' 17 points, Gan Guoyang scored eight points with 4 of 5 shots and also caused two fouls from the Warriors. It is easy to imagine how the Warriors will be damaged by this.

Nelson used his wishful thinking, and he felt that as long as he led Gan Guoyang to the outside, unless he really descended to earth to transform into a shooting machine, the offensive efficiency would definitely decrease. Then the Warriors could find an opportunity to slowly chase the score back, and then seize the score, and determine the outcome in the last quarter.

However, Nelson miscalculated. After the timeout was over, both sides returned to the court, Gan Guoyang did not plan to play pick-and-roll with Drexler and Porter at all, but continued to fall at the low post, playing high and low posts with Sabonis, and playing privately with the three black eggs on the outside.

"Gan took the ball at the low post again, and directly flipped over and jumped! The ball entered! A jumped over and jumped in one go! Gan shook his head, as if saying 'Why do I feel so good tonight'?"

Gan Guoyang's turnover jump shot did not give Boer a chance to come forward to assist in defense. His turn was too fast, and Sampson, whose knee was broken, could not keep up at all. He couldn't jump up and block it. He watched Gan Guoyang shoot the ball in.

Nelson thought the inside was not enough, so he shouted "block the inside" on the sidelines, but then Gan Guoyang never went to the high position, so he took the ball and attacked the Warriors' inside when he had the chance. Manut Pohl and Sampson were not enough to see the situation. The tonnage and strength gap were too big. Gan Guoyang did not dodge the shooting, but forced himself to push the ball into the basket.
