The game soon became a confrontation between Magic Johnson and Gan Guoyang. The two each showed their unique abilities and continued to destroy the opponent's defense. Gan Guoyang used his scoring and Johnson used his passing. However, in the fourth quarter, when the game entered a fever pitch, Gan Guoyang's extremely abundant physical strength and unstoppable touch soon began to overwhelm the Lakers. Johnson led the Lakers players to support them hard, but the Trail Blazers took measures on the defensive end. The unique arrangement is to let Gan Guoyang defend Worthy. Worthy's offensive ability in the low post is indeed terrible. As a small forward, his turning speed is too fast and his finishing ability at the basket is also quite strong. Whether Worthy is guarding him or Drexler or Buck Williams Sri Lanka's defense is not effective. But Gan Guoyang is the best choice to defend Woxi. In terms of speed, Gan Guoyang is not much worse than Woxi. In terms of strength, Gan Guoyang has an absolute advantage, and Gan Guoyang's wingspan and defensive ability are useless to Woxi when he beats Gan Guoyang one-on-one. grasp. In the past, the reason why the two were not aligned was not only to take care of Gan Guoyang's physical strength, but also mainly because of the presence of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is old and out of shape. In this game, he has no threat on the offensive end and is restrained. Damn it, so in the critical fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang was able to free up his hands to strangle the Cobra on the defensive end. When Cobra Worthy was restricted by Gan Guoyang, the Lakers' problem emerged in the fourth quarter, that is, they lacked a reliable inside offensive point. Although Worthy is a small forward, in addition to being the Lakers' best fast break player The terminator is also the most reliable low-post scorer besides Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Now that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has lost his threat, when the Lakers need to score in the fourth quarter, he is the only one who can provide reliable inside scoring for the Lakers. As a result, Worthy's scoring reliability plummeted. Under one-on-one coverage by the best defensive player, Worthy missed three consecutive offensive goals. However, Gan Guoyang, who was defending him, was able to score consecutively on the offensive end. The scores of both sides It suddenly opened to 5 points. The 5-point gap was the largest lead the Trail Blazers had achieved since the start of the game. This did not seem to be a particularly big disadvantage for the Lakers, who had a strong offensive power. However, during the game, the Lakers discovered that the 5-point gap was not a big disadvantage for the Lakers. To them, it's like an insurmountable chasm. As long as the Lakers score, Gan Guoyang will definitely be able to return one on the offensive end. When Gan Guoyang used various offensive methods to score points in the Lakers' interior, the Lakers' generals finally slowly felt a sense of powerlessness. Riley looked back at his bench, and there was not a single interior player who could step up to stop this. Crazy sun. And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was sitting on the bench, watching Gan Guoyang gracefully put the ball into the basket with one hook after another. His eyes were full of shadows of his past. When his hair was still thick and his limbs were still flexible and strong, he The score is also like chopping melons and vegetables. Riley knows that the momentum of Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers is unstoppable. Once Gan Guoyang's touch comes, he will really be like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back then. There is no blind spot within 18 feet, and he can score as long as he is allowed to take a shot. ball. When Riley replaced Magic Johnson at the last minute, it was announced that the Lakers had chosen to surrender. The point difference at this time was only 9 points, which was not an insurmountable chasm. Miracles could still happen, but Riley just gave up. , Magic complained to Riley when he came off the court. He performed very well in this game, with a super triple-double of 34 points, 12 rebounds and 22 assists. However, he could not withstand Gan Guoyang's 47 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists. Blocked shots, 4 assists and 4 steals. This is an out-and-out MVP night, a game for the most valuable player in the regular season, and a game that truly reflects the value of a superstar. When the game was combined with Su, the entire audience stood up and applauded Gan Guoyang. David Stern also stood up and applauded among the audience. In any case, Gan Guoyang did not disappoint Stern tonight, and the MVP trophy was handed to him. Deserved. When Gan Guoyang was interviewed after the game, he was also full of confidence in the team and believed that the current Blazers were the best Blazers in his career so far. After returning to the locker room, all the Blazers players and employees gave Gan Guoyang a simple celebration ceremony to celebrate his winning the regular season MVP award. The victory of this game was regarded by media commentators as a victory of the Trail Blazers' hard power and a complete suppression of the Lakers. This was despite the fact that the Trail Blazers did not perform well at the beginning and were chasing points for most of the game. If the Trail Blazers Other players are adjusting to their best condition, and the Lakers, who have many problems, are very dangerous. And just as these commentators expected, the two sides started the second game after a day's rest. This time, the Trail Blazers did not let themselves fall into a passive situation and slowly chase points, but took the lead from the beginning. The so-called "strike first to gain the upper hand" meansThe Lakers are older than the Trail Blazers. After knocking the Lakers to the ground, they pinned them to the ground and beat them. It was not that easy for the Lakers to turn over. Moreover, after the Trail Blazers acquired Sabonis, their playing style was similar to that of the Rockets in 1986. The absolute advantage inside made the Lakers very uncomfortable. Gan Guoyang and Sabonis poked in, and the offense and defense were really two. Big iron pillars, the two key iron pillars can be used inside and outside, and their skills are exquisite. The tactics deployed by Pat Riley quickly collapsed in the face of the absolute advantage in the paint. The Lakers have lost the opportunity. Magic Johnson still has a good performance, but his teammates are weak, especially the weak inside. They cannot withstand the collision of the Trail Blazers inside, and there is no chance from beginning to end. 122:104, the Trail Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by 18 points in the second game. In everyone's eyes, they had one foot in the Finals. Going to Los Angeles next, the Trail Blazers are not afraid of playing at the Great Western Forum. Although the Lakers playing at home are scary, the Great Western Forum has never been a devil's home court, and the audience is enthusiastic but not scary. This season, the Trail Blazers are in The Great Western Forum maintains a complete victory, and there are many Gan Guoyang fans in Los Angeles. Therefore, the Trail Blazers went to Los Angeles with a slow confidence. In the first half and the first three quarters of the third game of the Western Conference Finals on May 26, the Trail Blazers maintained their same level of confidence as they did in the first and second games. To suppress the Lakers. Just when Lakers fans were expecting a miracle, Pat Riley made a strange substitution move. He replaced James Worthy at the end of the third quarter and then replaced him at the end of the bench. Substitute Tony Campbell - a former small forward who played with the Detroit Pistons. No one understood Riley's intentions, but soon Campbell began to make an impact on the court. When the game was about to end in the third quarter, Campbell chased Drexler while returning to defense. Of course he couldn't catch up with Drexler, but he didn't take off at the same time to block the shot after the glider took off. It was Drexler who gave Drexler a hard push from behind. Drexler somersaulted directly into the audience at the bottom line. This hit was so severe that Drexler lay on the floor without moving for a long time. The Trail Blazers' bench was on this side of the basket, and everyone could see this move clearly. Gan Guoyang was about to leave quickly, but when he saw Drexler being pushed out by such a dangerous move, he immediately ran to the baseline. Let¡¯s see what happened to Drexler. And without saying a word, Cosey and Buck Williams on the court moved directly towards Campbell with their fists raised. This was simply a destructive move. The court suddenly became chaotic. The action on both sides of the game was already relatively intense. Campbell ignited the powder keg. The Blazers were so excited that everyone on the bench rushed over. At this time, Gan Guoyang was still worried about Drexler's condition at the bottom line. The team doctor rushed over and asked for a check. Drexler slowly stood up with the help of Gan Guoyang and the team doctor. After moving, he said he was fine. . By this time, fighting had begun on the court, and the Lakers were not to be outdone at all. How could they allow the Blazers' players to run wild in their own home court, but Campbell, who was at the center of the fight, seemed to know that he was wrong and kept hiding. "Gan Guoyang was holding his fists outside and couldn't get in. Bellman rushed up and hugged Gan Guoyang to prevent him from being impulsive. Otherwise, Gan Guoyang would have rushed over and beat Campbell to death. With the persuasion of the staff and the mediation of the referee, the conflict was finally resolved, but the Trail Blazers also suffered heavy losses. Cosey and Buck Williams were directly ejected, and Drexler needed to be hit because of a collision. Returning to the locker room for further inspection, the Lakers only lost Campbell, who was at the end of the bench. Although other people also participated in the conflict, the law does not hold everyone accountable. The NBA rules at the time were relatively loose, so they did not accept punishment. As a result, the Lakers, who had a full lineup, launched a crazy counterattack against the Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter. How could the Trail Blazers, without three main players, be able to withstand the Lakers' offense? Causey and Williams are both important defenders. A player, the pressure on Gan Guoyang's shoulders instantly increased. At this time, he is like Magic Johnson from the previous two times, unable to survive alone! As a result, in this dramatic incident, the Trail Blazers were eventually reversed by the Lakers. What's even worse is that in the official information released by the NBA the next day, Buck Williams and Cosey will be suspended at the same time. As a result of the penalty, Drexler was diagnosed with a tailbone contusion during the examination and may have to miss the entire Western Conference Finals. A conspiracy seems to be about to succeed.
