The Trail Blazers' hard-working efforts in the first half were gone in two minutes, with three-pointers at one time, one steal, and two fast breaks. The Lakers completed the situation in the easiest way in the shortest time. Magic Johnson seemed to have really magical power, making the field go upside down in an instant.

The Trail Blazers players obviously haven't recovered yet. During the break, the players were still cheering each other up, but when they got on the court, they were a little confused.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Adelman decisively called a timeout. The Grand Western Forum Hall suddenly became much lively. Lakers fans seemed to feel that the Trail Blazers could not hold on in the third quarter.

"The Lakers' counterattack came so quickly. I think the Trail Blazers players have not yet come out of the slow pace of the first half. They were suddenly beaten by the Lakers." Dick Stockton was also very impressed by the Lakers' attack of a fast-moving whirlwind. Since 1986, the Lakers' lineup, which is completely built with the Magic as the core, can bring such exciting offensive shock waves in every game.

"There are some problems in the backcourt of the Trail Blazers. I think the physical strength of Porter and Paxson will be a big problem." Tom Heinthorne suddenly pointed out the problem of the Trail Blazers. Yes, Porter and Paxson are indeed a little tired.

Although the game has just reached the third season, Paxson played the first half, and he is already a 34-year-old veteran. Most of the games this season have played as a substitute. The playing time of a game is about 25 minutes. He is likely to play the whole game in this game, which will be a huge test for his physical strength.

Terry Porter launched several fast-forward attacks in the first half, and his physical strength was also consumed very much. After all, except him, the Trail Blazers did not have the third stable ball-holding offensive point. In the second half, the Trail Blazers, whose physical strength was problematic, were beaten into a fast attack by the Lakers in the backcourt, and at the same time, they could not defend the Magician's breakthrough. The situation was extremely unfavorable to the Trail Blazers.

Adelman also realized this problem. After weighing it, he decided to leave Porter and Paxson on the court, but at the same time he replaced Mark Bryant and replaced Danny Young, which means he used the three-guard lineup.

This seems to be suicide to ordinary people. The Lakers' backcourt height and wingspan are among the best in the league. If you replace Danny Young, who will defend AC Green? Or who will defend Worthy? Who will defend Magic? So when the Trail Blazers ended the timeout and returned to the court, Dick Stockton thought the Trail Blazers were committing suicide.

"Adelman replaced Danny Young! The Trail Blazers' backcourt height has been lowered again, three defenders, you should know that the Lakers' backcourt height is similar to three forwards, and playing like this is tantamount to suicide, or what other ideas does Adelman have?"

No one knows whether Adelman has any other ideas, but everyone knows his offensive ideas, that is, they will all be spread and feed the ball to Gan Guoyang.

"Danny Yang took the ball through half the court, and Johnson was defending him. Danny Yang was too small and was about to be double-teamed! The ball was still passed, Gan came out to receive it, Gan got the ball and broke directly from the right side, and dunked it with one hand! Oh! Gan even only transported the ball once!"

Gan Guoyang saw that Danny Yang was about to be forced to pass the ball by the Magician, so he ran to the right to catch it. After receiving the ball, he turned around directly. Unlike other insiders, the other insiders must turn around and go to the bottom line to dribble and make a layup, but Gan Guoyang did not. He did not give the Lakers the opportunity to make up for defense in the inside. After receiving the ball, he grabbed Qiu with one hand, slapped the ball, and dunked with one hand after a big step!

"This reminds me of Dr. J. Irving's dunk on Jabbar's head." Gan Guoyang's dunk was indeed exactly the same as Irving's dunk. In fact, people with clear memory should know that Gan Guoyang also used such a dunk when he faced the Lakers for the first time in his rookie season, which was amazing.

Such goals don't give the opponent a chance to defend at all. This is exactly Gan Guoyang's usual style. Some superstars are the kind of people you think you have defended with all your strength, but they can still score, such as Michael Jordan, and Gan Guoyang is the kind of people who don't have the chance to exert force at all, so he throws the ball in.

The reason for this difference is that, as a Chinese player, Gan Guoyang's physical fitness is unlikely to reach the level of a black man, but his rich and unique offensive methods, combined with excellent offensive choices and a sense of incomparable strength will make the opponent feel that it is not powerful.

The Lakers also scored a goal soon. Byron Scott received a pass from the Magic on the outside and made a three-pointer. The Blazers' defense line was shrinking again and again because they were on the three defenders.

But Gan Guoyang immediately responded with a ball. He received a pass from Paxson at 15 feet and turned around and hit a hook. AC Green, who was defending him, was shaken first, and then lost the center of defense. In the end, he could only watch Gan Guoyang hit a hook.

"If you want to defend me, learn not to jump first." Gan Guoyang pointed at Green after scoring the goal, and Green looked numb. Anyway, he was criticized by Gan Guoyang too much, so he could only be regarded as inaudible. But he also remembered this sentence in his heart, thinking that he must be careful of his fake moves next time.

Soon, the game entered a tug-of-war, with the Lakers and Gan Guoyang tug-of-war, and the Magic tried his best to find opportunities for his teammates, and once he found an offensive opportunity, he would never be lenient; while the other Trail Blazers created various opportunities to play singles for Gan Guoyang.

At this time, the three defenders' points were revealed, with one more defender. Their transmission ball from the outside line made Gan Guoyang's ball smoother, and the three could also open up enough space, because once the Lakers double-team, Gan Guoyang passed the ball to Porter or Paxson, their three-pointers could really make. With Danny Yang, Porter and Paxson's ball holding tasks were also much lessened. Even if they couldn't recover their physical strength on the court, the loss could be slower.

Lakers fans soon discovered that the suppressive counterattack they were looking forward to was never coming. Every time the Lakers scored a beautiful goal, the emotions they brewed were always disrupted by Gan Guoyang's clean singles, so that later on, the fans got used to it, and the two sides were tug-of-war with one goal.

In fact, Lakers players also want to defend Gan Guoyang, but whether it is Jabbar, AC Green or Sampson who comes on the bench, there is no way to deal with Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang's offensive point is stable in the 60-degree area on the front, breaking through the middle, jump shots at the top of the arc, hooks on the wings, and picking up bargains in the frontcourt rebounds. His moves are very fast and his movements are extremely clean, and he does not give the defensive players any time to react.

In the words of Tom Heinthorne, "Gan has been immersed in his own offensive rhythm and can't extricate himself."

15 points, 17 points, 20 points, 22 points... Gan Guoyang's score in the third quarter was rising. When he made a three-pointer in the 11th minute, his third quarter score had reached an astonishing 25 points, only 6 points away from his highest score record in a single quarter. Pat Riley on the sidelines finally couldn't stand the team allowing Gan Guoyang to score like this. He was so angry that he threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground and asked for a timeout at the referee, although the third quarter game was about to end.

"The Lakers' timeout is a magical quarter! Gan alone represented the entire Trail Blazers team. The Trail Blazers scored 34 points in a single quarter, of which Gan alone scored 25 points! 25 points! This is the scoring record of the playoffs in a single quarter. Gan already scored 52 points in the whole game. At this time, the third quarter game was about to end." Gan Guoyang scored 17 points in the first quarter and 10 points in the second quarter. With 25 points in the third quarter, Gan Guoyang scored 52 points from the Great Western Conference Forum in the third quarter.

Riley was already a little crazy at this time. The Magician's performance was good enough, and the other players were at normal levels. But no one could withstand such a turret to achieve stable output in his own three-second zone. Riley almost roared and asked the inside players to defend Gan Guoyang with all their strength.

The third quarter ended soon, and Gan Guoyang did not leave the court for another break. At this moment, Adelman did not dare to put Gan Guoyang on the bench easily. Perhaps he could completely open the score after sitting on the bench for two minutes. At this time, the Trail Blazers were only one point behind the Lakers at 84:85.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally began to double-team Gan Guoyang at all costs. Green, Cooper, Wallridge, and the three most fierce players in the Lakers' defense were all used to deal with Gan Guoyang and perform a three-around defense. Gan Guoyang was not a god after all. Under such a defense, his shooting rate began to decline.

However, Adelman knew that the Lakers were going to fight for their lives, and the Trail Blazers also stepped up to fight for their lives. Mark Bryant returned to the court, Duckworth replaced Sabonis, and veteran Paxson, who had run for three quarters without rest, returned to the bench. Brans came on the court, which was completely a defensive lineup. The Trail Blazers began to cut off the Lakers' offense at all costs.

Just like the gladiators fighting for life and death, after a long battle, both sides lost too much blood and could not hold their weapons. Finally, they began to fight with their fists to kill their opponents with their teeth.

"The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides is like watching a boxing game! It's a foul again! Mark Bryant's foul, this is his fourth foul in this game. It seems that the Lakers should not try to score easily at the basket."

…………

"Gan forced a layup! There were three people hanging on his body! The ball still scored! Foul, Wallridge's foul! Gan's arm was covered with scars. Now he was going to stand on the free throw line. Perhaps the Lakers themselves did not expect that this game would be played to such a level."
