Sitting on the bench, Gan Guoyang's face was dripping with sweat. He did not play smoothly in this game. He had been struggling in the first three quarters and never found his rhythm of the game. His offense was weak and his defense was weak. Can't find any. In the third quarter, when he started to use one large and four small ones, Gan Guoyang knew that it was time to make a desperate move. When Gan Guoyang completely let go, he quickly adjusted his mentality and calmed down. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, his continuous In the three singles, I gritted my teeth and rushed in, making sure to hit the deepest point instead of testing my hand with my hook. After three consecutive strong attacks, Gan Guoyang gradually recovered his form. Subsequently, he moved the ball many times, showing full trust in his teammates, and the Trail Blazers players also seized the opportunity to shoot the ball. The most important point is that the Blazers' defense finally worked to its best effect. No matter how fierce the Suns' offense was throughout the game, the Blazers' defense was never chaotic. With the support of Gan Guoyang, they were orderly and tried their best to interfere with the opponent. Finally, the Suns' offense collapsed. Kevin Johnson no longer has the energy to maintain such a fast impact. Hornacek was completely beaten by Jim Paxson who came on the bench. Jerome Causey's defense against Tom Chambers was unexpectedly good. , Kexi is guarding against Chambers' breakthrough. You can shoot as you like, but Chambers' speed makes it difficult to break through Kexi. When it comes to shooting, he seems to have lost his touch in the fourth quarter. "Pick-and-roll, we need pick-and-roll to find space, but be careful of mistakes. Move your pick-and-roll position outwards, try to open up space and reduce passes. I don't want to see mistakes. This is very important, very important." Adelman did not No matter how complex tactics are arranged, they repeatedly emphasize that coordination must be concise to reduce the probability of mistakes. At such a moment, a mistake is very fatal, and the Suns will definitely increase their pressure on the ball so that the Blazers cannot make a pass. The more and more complex the Blazers' coordination is, the higher the probability of mistakes. This is the difference between Adelman and Ramsey. If it is Ramsey, he will definitely arrange an effective critical moment tactic at this time, and then this tactic often has several changes, allowing the players to make choices on the court. Adelman left the tactical decisions to the players, just reminding them, because Adelman believes that at such a moment, he must fully trust his players and trust the superstars in the team. Gan Guoyang took out a towel and wiped his sweat. This time he did not throw the towel to the ground. At this time, Adelman turned back to Gan Guoyang and said: "Gan, the decision to attack is in your hands. Remember, on the right side The point in the bottom corner, the point at the top of the arc and the point in the three-second zone, three points, pay attention to the three points." Gan Guoyang nodded after hearing this. He understood what Adelman meant. Gan Guoyang will play with Drake. Sler will set up a pick-and-roll at the left midfielder, and then Jim Paxson will run to the right baseline to ambush. Terry Porter will respond at the top of the key to the right, and Jerome Causey will wait in the three-second zone. opportunity, the left side is completely free to create scoring opportunities for Gan Guoyang and Drexler. This is an open tactical position, giving the two pick-and-rollers the greatest freedom, while the other three serve as fixed-point shooters or receiving points. How the tactics change depends entirely on how Drexler and Gan Guoyang handle it. "The timeout is over. There is a three-point gap. There are still 45 seconds left before the end of the game. The Trail Blazers are about to execute a very critical offense. Now they are gaining momentum and have chased 12 points in a row. Unbelievable, unbelievable." Drake Sler sent a sideline ball out of bounds, and the Suns also did not press. Gan Guoyang received the ball, and then immediately avoided Hornacek's interference and handed the ball to Drexler. Drexler was in the third Holding the ball outside the line to observe, a key attack. "Drexler started, walked from the left, and did a pick-and-roll with Gan. The glider hit the ground and passed the ball. Gan caught the ball He didn't catch the ball well! But he still got the ball and was double-teamed The ball was about to be lost Gan passed the ball to Porter, and Porter broke through with the ball, but he passed it back and the ball returned to Gan's hands. Gan shot a three-pointer at 45 degrees! " Adelman's heart almost jumped out! Okay, Drexler's pass just now almost ruined this offense. He didn't control the intensity of his underhand pass. The ball suddenly passed too big. Gan Guoyang had to bend down and reach out to grab the ball. Huo Huo Upon seeing this, Nasek decisively let go of Drexler to double-team Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang protected the ball with all his strength, used his body to support West and Hornacek behind him, and handed the ball to Porter. After Porter got the ball, he immediately broke through from the right. At this time, Gan Guoyang adjusted his position and ran to the right. The 45-degree position of the three-point line. At this moment of decision, Porter chose to pass the ball instead of continuing to break through. Although the success rate of continuing to break through would be higher, because West has been transferred out by Gan Guoyang, and there is only one Chambers, Drexler. and Kesi were also preparing to rush for offensive rebounds, but Porter still passed the ball.?. In this game, Gan Guoyang made 0 of 3 three-pointers and missed all three attempts. Obviously his touch was really bad tonight, but Porter trusted Gan Guoyang, just as Gan Guoyang would trust him at the critical moment in the fourth quarter. This kind of Trust comes from years of game cooperation and good relationships off the court. Porter knows that in the Portland Trail Blazers, no one is more reliable than Gan Guoyang at critical moments. "Gan's three-pointer!!" In the eyes of everyone, the ball seemed to fly very slowly, and the arc of the ball was very high. Patrick also stretched his voice until he saw the ball flying from the center of the net. After passing through, he completely released his voice. "He-hit-it! A-three-point! (He made it! A three-pointer!)" The Arizona Veterans Memorial Stadium was dejected. Only Gan Guoyang was shining brightly in the entire venue. He raised his right hand high , using his fingers to make a "three" sign, indicating that he made a three-pointer. The Blazers' players excitedly ran over to hug Gan Guoyang, while the Suns' players looked frustrated. The Suns used their last timeout. You must know that the Suns had almost no timeouts in the first three quarters because they played so well and smoothly. As a result, they made up for all the useless ones in the fourth quarter. 97:97 tie, the Trail Blazers finally tied the score with less than 30 seconds left before the end of the game. The Phoenix Suns' advantage and efforts throughout the game were likely to be wasted in the last 30 seconds. Many fans were looking up. Use the timer to see how much time is left. For the Suns, they still have a chance. It is still tied at this time. If they score one more goal, they will take the lead. Yes, they scored one more goal, but it was a full 7 minutes since they last scored a goal. They had not scored a goal for 7 minutes. They couldn't attack at all. They grabbed offensive rebounds several times and restarted. They can't organize an offense and no one can make fouls. For the Suns, scoring goals has become a luxury. A feeling of despair began to permeate the Suns. Hornacek, Chambers, and Johnson all looked at each other. At this time, they didn't know who they should trust and who they should give the ball to. Should they let Johnson break through? Or the Hornacek Organization? Or is Chambers powerful in the low post? Or throw it casually and let West grab the rebound? "I don't know, they don't know, they can only listen to the coach, but the coach is also confused. After emphasizing his attention, he threw the burden of offense on Kevin Johnson. When the timeout ended, the audience cheered with encouragement and waved the white towels in their hands to support the Suns. They would never give up until the last moment. ??The Trail Blazers continue to maintain a formation of one large and four small, with Gan Guoyang in the center, Kexi playing power forward, Drexler at small forward, Jim Paxson and Porter partnering in the backcourt. "Beep!" The referee whistled, a key attack by the Suns. This time Kevin Johnson got the ball, he didn¡¯t hesitate, and played a pick-and-roll with Chambers. Now he needed a pick-and-roll, and he couldn¡¯t go naked anymore. He came in like an electric slip from the left! Kevin Johnson chose to insert inside from the left, but he avoided a layup from the right. He used a beautiful cross step to pass Gan Guoyang, who stepped forward to cover, took off while losing his balance, and then used his right hand to A difficult layup, I want a high rebound! "Johnson broke through and made a layup! The ball was blocked in the air! The ball was nailed to the backboard! It was Gan, using his long arms!" The hit Gan Guoyang just received was intentional! So his steps were not chaotic at all, but he adjusted his pace, turned around and made a big block, directly nailing the rising ball thrown by Johnson to the backboard! Gan Guoyang took the ball from the air and held it firmly. He was firmly in control, but he still didn't call a timeout! Completely ignoring Adelman's reminder, he directly pushed the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt! At this time, Marley stepped forward to take out the ball, and Gan Guoyang passed the ball to Porter, and the two advanced quickly together. "Gan got into the penalty area and took a position. It was Marly who was guarding him! Porter passed the ball to Gan, and Gan took the ball and hooked it directly! The ball went in! The ball went in! Gan hit the hook!" Gan Guoyang didn't have Marly at all. Taking the opportunity to create an offensive foul, he completely ignored Marly's defense, turned towards the baseline and hit the ball with an elegant hook, 99:97! The Trail Blazers took the lead for the first time in the game! At this time, there are only 3.9 seconds before the end of the game, and the Suns have not paused! "The Suns served, Hornacek, a super long three-pointer! The ball missed! The game is over, the game is over, the Trail Blazers completed a great reversal and defeated the Suns 99:97 in the away game.
