    At halftime, Adelman was the only voice in the entire Trail Blazers locker room. He was dissatisfied with the players' performance in the first half, but he also admitted that the Blazers were not well prepared tactically.  In the absence of Sabonis, the advantage brought by Duckworth's starting was not used in the first half of the game, but the disadvantage was wiped out by the Suns.  Because there is no strong inside connection and passing point, the Blazers' offensive routine has become relatively simple, and the fluidity of positional offense has declined. At this time, they rely more on Gan Guoyang's singles scoring inside. However, in this game, Gan Guoyang was on top  The state of the half was really not good.  At the same time, Duckworth does not have the first-pass ability of Sabonis. When he gets a backcourt rebound, it is difficult to launch a quick counterattack directly. This also allows the Blazers to only use 50% of their best fast break.  The advantage of this lineup lies in defense. Duckworth is better than Sabonis in single defense and assist defense. More importantly, with Duckworth here, Gan Guoyang's outside pressure defense can be more unscrupulous, but  The Suns' offensive tactics today worked very well, distributing the functions of the three points of Kevin Johnson, Tom Chambers and Hornacek well, Mark West and Corbin, and  Eddie Johnson played very well on the bench. The Blazers were able to maintain the score gap within 20 points, which is already considered a great success.  Adelman said a thousand words in the locker room. He also knew in his heart that the most important thing is to see whether Gan Guoyang can recover. Otherwise, such a key point in the interior will be so passive on both ends of the offense and defense, and the opponent's state will be poor.  Under such good circumstances, it is difficult for the team to win.  Gan Guoyang sat there without saying a word. He was also trying to reflect on himself. In the first half, he felt like he was unable to exert his strength. Especially after being blocked on the offensive end, he also started to become a little impatient on the defensive end.  Get up, this is obviously not a good sign.  "We completely lost our rhythm of the game. Look at our performance, singles, turnovers, omissions, there are many small mistakes that should not have been made, and they accumulated into this situation. The first thing we have to do in the second half is,  Just reduce mistakes, reduce turnovers, reduce turnovers!" Adelman said three times in a row to reduce turnovers, because the Blazers made an astonishing 15 turnovers in the first half. Due to the psychological impatience of falling behind in the score, the players were eager to think about it.  Fast breaks are used to gain points, but the result is that the team makes a lot of mistakes. Not only does it fail to gain points, but it gives the opponent a chance to counterattack, further widening the point difference.  Adelman believes that the team's problem is not in tactics, but in mentality. Compared with the last two games, the Blazers' tactics have not changed much. Although the Suns have made adjustments, they are still playing with the same players.  Personally, there will not be any huge changes. In the final analysis, the change is the mentality.  Easily sweeping their opponents in five consecutive games made the Blazers feel relaxed mentally. They felt that if a team like the Suns played casually and had no defense, it would probably be another 4:0 sweep. Who knew that the Suns had a huge burst of victory at home?  In terms of energy, the core of the Trail Blazers is in a quagmire again. It would be strange not to fall behind.  The second half of the game was about to begin, and the players were about to return to the court to start the second half of the game. It was Gan Guoyang who stood up first, walked to the center of the locker room and said to everyone: "I really want to go home, but I hope even more next time."  When we stood in the Memorial Stadium, it was in the Western Conference finals. Absolutely, absolutely do not give the enemy any chance. Giving the enemy a chance is digging a grave for ourselves. We must chase it back point by point, because we are the best in history.  "Yes!" After Gan Guoyang raised his hand high, everyone else stood up, gathered around Gan Guoyang, and put their hands on Gan Guoyang's hand.  "Come-on! Blazers!" ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ If a team wants to win, it is of course useless to just shout slogans. In such a backward adversity, I don¡¯t know how many teams shout  He made a slogan of refueling in the hope of making a comeback, but the hole he dug was so easy to fill.  The second half of the game started quickly. When they returned to the court, the Suns fans began to wave the white towels in their hands. The atmosphere here was no worse than that in Portland.  "The second half of the game is about to begin. The Suns have a 19-point lead. They completely suppressed the Trail Blazers in the first half, with smooth offense and fighting spirit, while the Trail Blazers continued to make mistakes, mistakes, and mistakes.  They made too many mistakes. And Gan only scored 6 points in the entire first half. This may be his worst first half of the season. "Don Patrick did not complain about Gan Guoyang being a shareholder of ESPN.  He was lenient because Gan Guoyang's performance was indeed very poor. The only thing worthy of praise was that he still controlled his mistakes very well.  In the second half, Duckworth was still the starter for the Trail Blazers.The tactics have not changed. Adelman firmly believes that it is very taboo to change the overall tactical ideas at will during a game. There is not much problem with their tactics in this game. The problem lies in the mentality of the players.  But the process after the start of the second half made Adelman realize that there was indeed a problem with the team's mentality, but the team's tactical configuration may be the bigger problem.  "Porter passed the ball to Kesi. Kesi was double-teamed. Kesi wanted to pass the ball to Gan, but there was chaos and the ball went out of bounds!" In the first round, Porter transitioned the ball to Kesi.  Kexi wanted to pass the ball to Gan Guoyang at 45 degrees. Gan Guoyang was on the right side, but the Suns did not double-team Gan Guoyang, but directly double-teamed Kesi. Kesi threw the ball to Gan Guoyang in panic. The ball was passed  Very poorly, Gan Guoyang and West crowded together, and Hornacek rushed to grab the ball. As a result, both the ball and the ball went out of the baseline, and the collision caused them to flip over.  "Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, hesitated, communicated with another referee, and whistled the Suns' ball.  Gan Guoyang was also very helpless. Hornacek was too interchangeable. He didn't go for the ball at all, but for people. He squeezed Gan Guoyang so much that he couldn't catch the ball steadily. As a result, the ball went out of bounds, and it was Gan Guoyang who touched it.  out.  ¡°This one looks so honest and can¡¯t be underestimated at all. He has the same character as Stockton.  Hornacek had just succeeded in interfering on the defensive end, and immediately made another contribution on the offensive end.  After serving out of bounds, Hornacek quickly advanced with the ball, not giving the Trail Blazers a chance to return to their defense. He passed the ball directly to Tom Chambers on the right. Chambers wanted to break through with the ball, but Gan Guoyang blocked it in front of him.  , his legs immediately weakened, and he passed the ball to Corbin who came from behind. Corbin took the ball and made a jump shot directly, but did not go in. As a result, Hornacek came out of nowhere and actually picked up a forward shot.  Field rebounds.  Hornacek didn't lay up. He knew that Gan Guoyang had returned and the layup would definitely be blocked, so he passed the ball to West who slid to the left baseline. West received the ball from the baseline and hit a 12-foot fixed-point jumper.  .  "This cunning guy!" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart. In the NBA, Gan Guoyang has never been afraid of those big guys with big muscles. Anyway, he is invincible in terms of strength. He is not afraid of anyone, but someone like Hornacek  The old youtiao has always been the type that Gan Guoyang hates the most. I think when he was still a rookie, he was made miserable by such old youtiao insiders.  The same type is Stockton, but the key is that he and Stockton are old teammates and are very familiar with his style of play, so Gan Guoyang is very good at targeting Stockton, while Huo, who looks more honest and innocent,  Although Nasek is only in his third year in the NBA, he is really an old fox and can control the situation of the game very well. Kevin Johnson is just an attacker, but Hornacek is really the one who regulates the situation on the court.  general.  The game soon returned to how it was in the first half, but the Blazers made fewer mistakes, and Gan Guoyang's touch began to recover. Mark West's method of letting Gan Guoyang's left hand go in the first half was connected by Gan Guoyang in the same position.  Two left-hand hook hits were blinded.  However, the Blazers' own offense was normal, but they could not prevent the Suns' offense. The defensive methods of the first two games had been cracked by the Suns. The Suns players completely let go of their psychological restraints and let go of their hands, showing the league's No. 1 defense.  Due to the strength of the second attack power, the point difference has remained at 15 points.  At the end of the third quarter, Adelman finally couldn't sit still. He pointed to the bench and said: "Get ready to play, replace Duckworth." "Mark West committed a defensive foul and was willing to take a free throw.  Line The Trail Blazers made substitutions, Adelman. Adelman replaced Jim Paxson and replaced Kevin Duckworth. Is there any other action? No, they replaced him?  Their center is replaced by a shooting guard, and the Blazers have to play one big and four small! "
