    Gan Guoyang can handle Mark West, and of course he can handle Duckworth. On the court, Gan Guoyang rarely interferes with Adelman's on-the-spot command, but once he feels that a certain player should not be on the court, then Adelman  Delman must also listen to his opinion and replace this player.  After Gan Guoyang angrily dunked West to teach him a lesson, the Suns called a timeout, and when they got to the bench, Gan Guoyang began to teach Duckworth that he must fulfill his responsibilities, otherwise he would sit on the bench.  Go up.  Duckworth is relatively lazy by nature, which is why his weight will continue to rise uncontrollably in the future. However, as long as Gan Guoyang is here, he will not be able to slack off as the number one sparring partner. Gan Guoyang has very strict requirements for his teammates in training, and any  Anyone who doesn't give his best will be criticized by him, and then he will blow you up while taunting you with all kinds of trash talk to stimulate you. Duckworth is not less stimulated by Gan Guoyang, but he is also not less helped by Gan Guoyang  .  In fact, Gan Guoyang sometimes said to Duckworth, "If you feel that you are buried here, then you can go to a team that needs you and get a bigger contract, but the prerequisite is that you have enough strength.  , Playing with me can give you such strength. " Therefore, Duckworth has made very rapid progress under Gan Guoyang's encouragement, but he was a little uncomfortable in this game. After being scolded by Gan Guoyang.  , Duckworth took a few deep breaths to calm down his mind and prepare to get into the game.  The Suns failed to attack quickly in the first half of the first quarter. Their coach Fitzsimmons understood that the main reason why their score was not opened up by the Trail Blazers was Mark West's extraordinary performance.  The field rebounds provided the Suns with four new offensive opportunities, otherwise they would probably be stretched to about ten points by now.  "We need to tear down their defense, tear down their defense! Use your passing, use your speed to tear them apart, instead of relying on offensive rebounds. We will not always have offensive rebounds to grab, we have to find the offense.  It feels like our passing of the ball from the outside is very poor and we need to further open up the space. KJ, you and Hornacek must pose a threat to their defense!" Fitzsimmons can also be regarded as a veteran coach in the NBA.  His most proud disciple was Pistol Pete Maravich. He loved Maravich's creative offensive talent. He wanted to see players use shooting and passing to break down the opponent's defense.  Hornacek does not have the creativity of Maravich, but he is calm, majestic, and calm, and complements Kevin Johnson's impact and passion very well. Fitzsimmons does not expect the inside to be able to  If there is much to be accomplished, external conduction and advancement are the lifeline of the Sun.  Now, the lifeline of the Suns is being strangled by the Trail Blazers' strong defense. Someone needs to step up and fight for more opportunities for the Suns, instead of wasting opportunities by shooting randomly outside.  Fitzsimmons is right about one thing. They will not always have offensive rebounds to grab. After the timeout, the Trail Blazers clearly strengthened their control of backcourt rebounds. Duckworth was reminded by Gan Guoyang,  He never left Mark West, always stuck behind him, not giving him the slightest chance to attack the inside.  Of course, the Trail Blazers also began to appropriately shrink their defense. The Suns were quite aggressive in fighting for offensive rebounds. The Trail Blazers, who had suffered a loss, needed to better protect the inside. This gave Kevin Johnson and Hornacek the opportunity to play.  Opportunity, the pressure from the outside suddenly became much smaller, and the Suns' offense began to slowly become smoother.  But the score between the Suns and the Trail Blazers is still opening up bit by bit. The Suns can score. Hornacek's shooting and Johnson's breakthrough complement each other. The offense is getting more and more rhythmic, but the Trail Blazers' offense is worse than them.  To be stable, they rely on two insiders, Gan Guoyang and Duckworth.  After solving the problem on the defensive end, Duckworth finally began to show some differences from Sabonis. He was not able to provide high-post support, but his low-post skills were better. He and Gan Guoyang took turns to attack the Suns in the low post.  Inside, the offensive efficiency is surprisingly high.  The Suns never double-team Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang holds the ball in the low or high post and lets him hit him if he wants. Fitzsimmons believes that there are so many teams that double-team Gan Guoyang, but few get good results in the end.  , Moreover, Gan Guoyang is now very cautious in his positioning, and it is difficult to double-team him easily. Gan Guoyang's error control ability is top among centers. All of these have led to the Suns not choosing to double-team Gan Guoyang.  The consequences of this were obviously serious, because as he continued to play, Fitzsimmons discovered that Gan Guoyang's offensive feeling came out, and the Blazers also began to tighten their pockets on the defensive end.  By the third quarter, after barely keeping up with the Trail Blazers in the first half, the Suns, which were only eight points behind, instantly felt that the situation on the court had changed., the Trail Blazers' defense became tighter than in the first quarter. They repeatedly double-teamed and rotated on the outside without any physical effort, and targeted Kevin Johnson, who had average passing ability, in advance without the ball. Gan Guoyang covered the most  In the important midfield area, Kevin Duckworth is responsible for acting as the last big shield in the interior. This defensive system, which has been trained by Bellman for many years, has exerted great power, causing the Suns, who lack the ability to attack tough problems in the interior, to suffer greatly.  .  Tom Chambers tried several times in isolation, but it was difficult to take advantage of Gan Guoyang's one-on-one defense. At this time, Kevin Johnson was only a second-year point guard, although his performance in the regular season was impressive.  , but in the playoffs, he was still a little green. With Gan Guoyang in the middle, he couldn't break through at all.  The league's No. 1 offensive team used steel-like defense to defeat the No. 2 offensive team in the league, allowing people to see the huge potential hidden in the Trail Blazers.  "The Blazers' defense is amazing. I want to say that this is the credit of their assistant coach Behrman. You know when I was still a head coach in the NBA and played against the Trail Blazers, I knew their assistant coaches were very good.  Thoughts, his defensive concepts are some of the most basic ideas, but what is valuable is that he can combine these ideas and put them into practice. He created this defensive system for the Trail Blazers. At present, the Suns do not have a strong inside line.  It¡¯s difficult to break through this shackles. Hubie Brown¡¯s evaluation is very pertinent. The Blazers¡¯ defense is indeed supported by many basic concepts, but there are some things that Hubie Brown did not see. For example, Gan Guoyang deliberately leaked his right side.  Let Kevin Johnson break through from the left. At this time, the left is the weak side of the Suns, but the strong side of the Trail Blazers. Johnson blindly breaks inside and enters the Trail Blazers' trap. No one can pass the ball.  Before the layup, Duckworth was followed by Gan Guoyang. Johnson had already had three blocks from Gan Guoyang tonight.  "Come on, Kevin, you can go faster, faster, aren't you purple lightning? Oh, I forgot, the wooden floor is not conductive." After Gan Guoyang once again successfully interfered with Kevin Johnson's layup, he said to Johnson  said.  Johnson's nose was so angry that he was crooked, but he has never been a player who likes to argue with others. Moreover, the situation of the game has been completely controlled by Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang also truly embodies the value of a top defensive insider, just like Bill La.  Like Serge, when an inside defender can prevent the opponent from scoring, then he will control the situation of the game.  In the subsequent games, the Suns were also struggling, but the Trail Blazers showed no intention of letting go. It seemed that the Trail Blazers would not relax until they completely strangled the Suns at the last moment. Of course, this also led to the players on both sides becoming more and more explosive.  The collision between the limbs became more and more intense. Gan Guoyang was also very excited, and the trash talk was endless like a torrential river. There was no heavy talk at all, constantly stimulating the nerves of the Suns players.  Especially Kevin Johnson. He and Gan Guoyang are also good friends. Gan Guoyang was merciful to him and did not say too many ugly and provocative words. However, Gan Guoyang took the opportunity to chat with Johnson and talked about the two of them drinking and playing ball together.  There are also those things in high school. As long as there is a gap in the game, free throws, fouls, foul balls, and scrimmages, Gan Guoyang will start nagging at him, making Kevin Johnson confused.  Gan Guoyang's "mental attack method" was not used easily in the regular season. You consume other people's energy and consume your own energy. Only in the playoffs did Gan Guoyang begin to show its power. In the end, Kevin Johnson was  He wanted to throw the ball and leave the game without playing. The Blazers were already far ahead. Gan Guoyang still didn't let him go when he had the chance.  When the game ended and the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns 101:80 with strong defensive pressure amid the cheers of the fans, Kevin Johnson left the court without looking back. He really didn't want to go back for a second longer.  I saw Gan Guoyang, this guy is so annoying.  This nightmare stadium experience did not end. Two days later, the Suns and Trail Blazers played again in the Memorial Stadium. The process and results were similar to the first game. The Suns could not break through the Blazers' iron-clad defense. Although the Trail Blazers  The offensive efficiency of the Trail Blazers has declined in the absence of Sabonis, but their offense still maintains a normal level. In contrast, the Suns are naturally no match for the Trail Blazers.  Gan Guoyang's endless trash talking skills were brought to the extreme in this series. After the two games, the Blazers all achieved overwhelming victories. The news media adopted the title "Escape from Portland".  To describe the Suns' predicament at Portland Memorial Coliseum.  At this time, their only hope lies in the Arizona Veterans Memorial Stadium.
