    One senior and four juniors, this was quite a non-mainstream tactic in the NBA in the 1980s. Even if the Phoenix Suns adopted a fast offensive line, Tom Chambers could be considered a qualified power forward, and the three-point shot had not yet become mainstream.  In the era of tactics, lacking an inside line is a huge risk. What's more, players in the 1980s generally had excellent inside offensive skills. Even defenders often played with one hand and behind the other.  Therefore, few coaches would change the standard configuration of 3 outsiders and 2 inside players, especially in the playoffs. The consequence of having one senior and four juniors is likely to be a breakdown in defense and loss of backcourt rebounds.  "The Trail Blazers replaced Duckworth with Paxson, so that the Trail Blazers would have one inside and four outside players. Adelman's move was very risky. Now they are 17 points behind, and there is still time to go before the end of the third quarter.  2 minutes, plus a fourth quarter, it is not impossible to catch up. Gan's condition is slowly recovering, but Adelman still made a dangerous move. "Not only did Patrick not understand Adelman's arrangement, but the Blazers on the field.  The players also didn't understand. Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and made both free throws. The score difference between the two sides suddenly narrowed to 15 points. Gan Guoyang asked Paxson while returning to defense: "What is the arrangement?" "Kexi will play power forward, and I will  "Guard Hornacek." Paxson replied briefly, and soon the two had no time to talk, because Hornacek had already passed the half court with the ball and was ready to launch a quick attack.  In this game, although the Suns' point guard is Kevin Johnson, Hornacek controls the ball most of the time. Many threatening offenses come from Hornacek's passes.  And his jump shots from the outside are extremely accurate, making 11 of 13 shots and scoring 25 points.  "Hornacek advanced quickly, and I think the Blazers players' minds were already lifted But this time it was Jim Paxson who defended Hornacek, and Hornacek passed the ball to Kevin -  Johnson, their fast offense didn't work." Previously, the Trail Blazers had asked Drexler to defend Hornacek, but the effect has not been good, because Hornacek simply did not fight with Drexler.  Playing passing and running, and Drexler was diverted most of his energy in the offense, and it was difficult to fully cope with Hornacek in the defense.  "Kevin Johnson holds the ball in the middle and breaks through directly!" Kevin Johnson once again chose to break through naked. In this game, his breakthroughs were almost naked and he did not need anyone's pick-and-roll cover because he was too fast.  , Porter's defense is not bad, and Johnson has advantages in height and wingspan, but Johnson is a "fast but never broken" person. He is too fast, and his finishing at the basket is particularly good.  "Johnson broke through and dunked directly! Gan dunked the ball into the basket! The ball went in!" Kevin Johnson's action was extremely sudden. Although Gan Guoyang took off to block the shot, Johnson dodged Gan Guoyang in the air, and then fiercely  He dunked the ball hard into the basket.  The fans cheered like crazy, and the entire auditorium could see white towels spinning and waving. This dunk vented all the resentment Kevin Johnson had against Gan Guoyang in the previous two games. After the dunk, Johnson jumped from the basket.  When he got up and down, he glared at Gan Guoyang angrily.  "Crazy dunk, Kevin Johnson was unstoppable. He tore through the Blazers' defense like a bolt of lightning and gave Gan a heavy blow." In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Adelman's senior and four juniors  The lineup did not show much power. Instead, Gan Guoyang was humiliated by Kevin Johnson, which made his face very ugly.  Gan Guoyang sat on the bench and dropped the towel in his hand again. This was the second time he did this in this game, which showed how aggrieved he felt.  "We need more outside shots, outside mid-range shots and three-pointers, and completely free up the interior for Gan; on the defensive end, shrink, shrink again, and don't give Kevin Johnson a chance to break through and let them shoot."  At this time, Adelman finally had time to lay out tactics to his players. His tactics were very simple, which was to attack and bet on his own shot, and defend to block the opponent's shot. It sounds like a very bad strategy, but sometimes it is the team that completes it.  The key to a Jedi counterattack lies in the player's mentality and state. Once the state is up and the opponent's mentality is disrupted, Adelman's goal will be achieved.  "Gan, kill them." At this time, Adelman faced Gan Guoyang alone and said to him.  Gan Guoyang's eyes were on fire. He was always suppressed in the three quarters of the game, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Now, the fourth quarter is his last chance.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Paxon¡¯s layup was intercepted by Marley. The Suns counterattacked. Marley performed very well on the defensive end tonight, limiting Cosey¡¯s performance.¡± In the fourth quarter, both sides  The competition has reached a fever pitch, and the Trail Blazers are quickly gaining ground on the advantages of one large and four small players.It appeared. Gan Guoyang hit three consecutive strong attacks in the interior. The Suns had to shrink their defense even more. As a result, Jim Paxson and Terry Porter each hit a three-pointer, and the point difference was immediately reduced to less than 10 points.  .  However, the Suns' substitute Marley performed very well tonight. After he came on as a substitute, he first succeeded in a strong attack, and then defended Paxson's layup in fast break defense. The Suns showed signs of regaining momentum.  "Marley passed the ball to Hornacek, and Hornacek got a chance in the corner. He shot a three-pointer and the ball went in! He made a three-pointer! Hornacek's three-pointer!" Hornacek  Ke hit a three-pointer, and the point difference came to 13 points. At this time, there were still 7 minutes before the end of the game.  At this time, Adelman tried to call a timeout, but Gan Guoyang quickly sent the ball from the baseline, and then shook his head at Adelman, indicating that there was no need to call a timeout.  "Gan got the ball in the high post. He rarely got the ball in the high post tonight. He faked a move and shook West, broke through directly, and made a layup! Oh, it caused Chambers's foul and went to the free throw line." Gan Guoyang used strong power.  It resulted in Chambers' foul, and then he made two free throws on the free throw line. The point difference became 11 points. However, as long as the point difference is more than 10 points, it is a gap for the Trail Blazers.  This is, Kevin Johnson made a mistake during the offense. He took the ball outside the three-point line and passed it to Chambers inside. The Blazers immediately came to press, and Chambers passed the ball back to Johnson.  There was no one in front of Johnson, and Porter, who was guarding him, was three strides away from him. As a result, Johnson shot a three-pointer.  This is Johnson's first three-pointer in this game. In fact, he has made two three-pointers in the entire season, a total of two in 82 games. If this is his third three-pointer,  Basically putting a nail in the Blazers' coffin.  However, he failed to make a shot, and it was still far behind. Gan Guoyang grabbed a backboard inside, and the Trail Blazers launched a quick counterattack. Terry Porter advanced with the ball, and then passed the ball to the man who was ambushing on the right.  Jim Paxson, Paxson made a two-pointer from the bottom corner and hit again, and the score difference became 9 points.  Immediately afterwards, the Suns made another mistake in the offense. At the same position, Hornacek also shot a three-pointer. Although his three-pointer shooting rate is much higher than Johnson, this is when the offensive success rate is needed.  Sometimes, such a shot is too impatient.  "Gan got a backcourt rebound and passed the ball throughout the court. Paxson got the ball and made a layup! The ball went in, Marley was one step late! The Suns were a little bit worse. The score became 7 points. The distance was  With five minutes left in the game, the Suns called a timeout. "In just a few minutes, the Suns' two mistakes in offensive choices put them into a passive situation. The Trail Blazers' small lineup was flexible and fast, and their ability to grab points began to take advantage.  Appeared, Phoenix people smelled danger.  After returning from the timeout, the Suns' offense still didn't improve. I don't know what happened. Their originally smooth cooperation seemed to be unable to get open.  "Kevin Johnson broke through and was blocked by Gan! West got the offensive rebound and made a layup, but was blocked by Gan again! Cosey got the ball and Gan blocked two shots in a row. The Blazers launched a counterattack again!"  Kevin Johnson's strong attack didn't work. Gan Guoyang knocked Johnson to the ground mercilessly with a big block. Johnson fell to the ground as if a plane had hit the Himalayas.  "West was guarding Gan in front of him. He didn't give Gan a chance to catch the ball. After several struggles, Gan still got the ball. From outside the three-point line, he directly faced the basket and broke through He hit the ground and passed the ball to the baseline.  Kesi, Kesi dunked! Beautiful pass, beautiful ground pass! "Facing the double-teamed Suns player, Gan Guoyang passed the ball through the crotch to Kesi who was on the baseline.  Assists, so far, the Blazers' several points chasing points are not scored by Gan Guoyang, but they are all related to Gan Guoyang.  All Suns players can feel that a confident and domineering temperament is re-gathering in Gan Guoyang.
