    After the victory, Gan Guoyang stood on the sidelines, welcoming all his teammates to come forward to worship him. Buck Williams was the first to rush up and give Gan Guoyang "two punches." Then Sabonis gave Gan Guoyang a big bear hug. Other players,  The team's staff and coaches also came over to high-five Gan Guoyang.  Only Adelman walked up to Gan Guoyang and said calmly: "Don't shoot three-pointers casually in the future, and catch the ball more steadily." After speaking, Adelman patted Gan Guoyang on the shoulder, but Gan Guoyang could clearly see that Adel  Man was holding back a smile with a sullen face, trying hard not to lose his composure.  Gan Guoyang said with a smile: "I know the head of state, but wait until the Western Conference finals to tell me these words." After Gan Guoyang finished speaking, Adelman finally did not tense up, and a smile appeared on his face, but to be honest, Adelman  Adelman did have a heart attack and was almost scared out by Gan Guoyang. The unstable catch and the three-point shot made Adelman's blood pressure rise. Adelman thought to himself, if he could sit in the position of coach for a few more years.  , will definitely have a short life.  Gan Guoyang, the biggest contributor to the victory in this game, scored 30 points. Although 30 points is not particularly outstanding for a player of Gan Guoyang's level, 13 of his points came in the fourth quarter, and he scored 30 points in the fourth quarter.  In the quarter, he hit all the shots without missing a single one. He even sent out several key passes to help his teammates score, and sent out key blocks to defend the basket. It can be said that he took the greatest credit.  The other players of the Trail Blazers performed generally. The only bright spot was Jim Paxson. He played the entire fourth quarter and became a key figure in the victory. His restriction on Hornacek, his involvement in the opponent's defensive formation, and  The key three-point shooting gave the Trail Blazers a huge help. It's like having an old man in a family, like a treasure.  "You played very well in the reversal tonight. How did you decide to shoot that three-pointer at the last moment? After all, it requires a lot of courage." "Oh, my teammates gave me courage, because I believe,  Even if I don't score, they will definitely grab the offensive rebound. Of course, the most important thing is that I firmly believe that I can make that shot. The moment I take the shot, I know that I will definitely score this goal. I am sure.  "Already ready to return to defense." Gan Guoyang seemed very excited when being interviewed by reporters. Most of the Trail Blazers' games this season were crushing victories, not to mention such a big comeback, not even the stalemate until the end.  Especially in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers won all the way. The Trail Blazers' reversal victory in this game is also of great significance. On the one hand, it reminds the Trail Blazers players that there is no room for any slack in the playoffs.  , if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of no return.  The Suns were in disarray at the end of this game. If the Trail Blazers encountered the powerful Lakers or Pistons, there would be very little hope of a comeback.  On the other hand, victory in the game means that the Trail Blazers have one foot in the door of the Western Conference Finals. 3:0 means that it is only a matter of time before they eliminate the Suns. Next, the Suns are basically fighting for honor.  Since the 1985 playoffs, after Gan Guoyang joined the NBA, excluding the reimbursed 1987 season, the Trail Blazers have been able to enter at least the conference finals every year, which is enough to show how much Gan Guoyang has improved the Trail Blazers. After this game, although  The regular season award selection has nothing to do with the playoffs, but Gan Guoyang's regular season MVP is basically confirmed. Gan Guoyang will soon win the first regular season MVP in his life.  Of course, it is still too early to say this. We are only one step away from promotion, but we still have to take this step.  After winning this crucial battle, the Blazers, whose momentum had reached its peak, quickly began high-intensity training for the entire team the day after the game. Now their goal is to end this series in Phoenix, because on another venue  , the Los Angeles Lakers also lead the Utah Jazz 3-0 and are about to sweep, so the Trail Blazers need time to prepare.  On this day of training, the atmosphere within the Trail Blazers was quite good. The confrontation between the two sides was fierce. Gan Guoyang talked trash throughout the training, scolded all the players who did not perform well in the previous game, and then accompanied them to practice extra.  .  Such Portland Trail Blazers are terrifying. They gather around Gan Guoyang like an army. They have no complaints about the commander's requirements. They play when they are in good condition and make adjustments when they are not in good condition. Sabonis, who is unable to play on the sidelines, is also committed.  During training, although he had knee problems, his hands could still move, so he continued to practice passing and receiving on the sidelines.  There is no doubt that this big reversal has sublimated the spirit of the Trail Blazers. Now, no matter what kind of adversity, they will not give up until the last moment of the game; similarly, no matter what advantages they have, the Trail Blazers will not give up until the last moment of the game.  He will also be cautious and protect his advantage until the end of the game.  Instead, the Phoenix Suns exhausted all their energy in Game 3, one go at a time, then failed again, and three times exhausted. The Suns, who were originally not as strong as the Trail Blazers, relied on one breath to create an advantageous situation, lost the game amidst the cheers of more than 20,000 fans at home, and the damage to the players was huge.  .  On the third day after the Trail Blazers came to Phoenix, the fourth game continued. The situation in this game was completely different from the third game. Although the fans at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Stadium were still as enthusiastic as the sun in the desert, they also knew in their hearts.  , the sun¡¯s journey is not long.  The game was as expected. At the beginning, the Suns could rely on their remaining momentum to hold on with the Trail Blazers. However, in the middle of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on the joint performance of Gan Guoyang and Drexler to open up the score in one fell swoop.  Now the sun's confidence was completely gone, and the only thing waiting for them was death.  When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 119:96. The Trail Blazers defeated the Phoenix Suns with a 23-point advantage in the away game and defeated their opponents with a total score of 4:0 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.  This time Gan Guoyang and Drexler teamed up to dominate the game. The two scored 77 points together and got 31 rebounds. Drexler even got a triple-double. After the game, he returned to the locker room and the Trail Blazers  A simple small celebration was held, the staff took out the beer brought from Portland from the freezer, and all the players drank it in the locker room.  Of course, the victory in this series is not a breakthrough victory. For the Trail Blazers, only the championship is the only goal, and this is also their fourth time in five years to reach the Western Conference finals, and their opponents are  We faced old friends twice in the first three times, the Los Angeles Lakers.  When the Trail Blazers returned to Portland the next day, the family took a day off, and in the evening, news came from Salt Lake City. The Los Angeles Lakers also defeated the Utah Jazz on the road, eliminating their opponents with a total score of 4:0.  , reaching the conference finals seven times in eight years (if it were not for Gan Guoyang's arrival, the Lakers would also have reached the conference finals in 1986, so they would have reached the conference finals for eight consecutive years.) From the disastrous defeat in 1985 to the brush-off in 1986  But then, they regrettably lost in 1988. For the Portland Trail Blazers, the Los Angeles Lakers were a mountain they could never bypass. In fact, after 1986, some people believed that if the Lakers entered the NBA that year,  In the Western Conference Finals, with the strength of the Trail Blazers, they will not be able to pass the Lakers and enter the finals.  It just happened that the Rockets restrained the Lakers, and the Trail Blazers happened to restrain the Rockets, so the Blazers luckily escaped the Lakers and entered the finals to face the Celtics.  Of course, Trail Blazers fans and players have 10,000 reasons to refute such a statement, but the real and powerful counterattack is to actually play another series with the Lakers and truly defeat this giant in the Western Conference.  Only the pioneers can truly ascend to the throne of the West.  Of course, "no reactionary will automatically withdraw from the stage of history." What's more, the Los Angeles Lakers are still at his peak, especially their core Magic Johnson, who is on the road to his peak. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has completely aged this season.  Under such circumstances, he shared most of the scoring tasks, and also strengthened the offensive organization. He really grasped the eyebrows and beards, and played an MVP-level season. If it weren't for Gan Guoyang's pressure, his second regular season MVP would have been a certainty.  .  In the regular season, the Lakers' performance was ups and downs, mainly due to the complete aging of the inside line and player injuries. But in the playoffs, the Lakers immediately proved that they are still the most terrifying team in the Western Conference, just like the Trail Blazers.  They easily advanced to the conference finals with two sweeps.  And unlike the Trail Blazers who were in danger, the Lakers were extremely stable throughout the entire process, and their opponents did not struggle at all, which is enough to show that the Lakers are in optimal condition. They want to use this last opportunity to give Kareem Abdul-Jabbar before he retires.  A championship ring.  The confrontation between the old and new overlords is imminent. Whether the Lakers will continue to maintain their dominance over the Western Conference, or the Trail Blazers will overthrow the "tyranny" and establish a new dynasty, this is the battle.
