    "Today is May 28th, Saturday, another game day. Welcome to CBS TV's NBA live show. I am Dick Stockton. Tonight we will bring you the playoffs Western Conference Finals.  The Trail Blazers are challenging the Los Angeles Lakers away from home. This will be the fourth game of the series. The current score between the two sides is 2:1. The Trail Blazers are in the lead. The one who will commentate on the game with me tonight is.  Our old friend, former Celtics champion player and coach, Tom Heinthorn, let us first talk about the conflict in the last game, for which the Blazers paid a heavy price.  "Three main players were unable to play in today's game, and the Lakers only paid for Campbell. What do you think of this conflict?" Stockton also went straight to the topic. Since the end of the game on the 26th, the United States has been discussing this.  topic, most people think this is a conspiracy by Pat Riley, especially his move to replace Campbell at the end of the third quarter is so abnormal. You must know that Riley has always been conservative in employing personnel in the playoffs.  Known for being the main force, he rarely uses fringe players, so Riley's tricks are not many.  Campbell did not get a chance to play for a minute in the previous first round and semi-finals. Riley suddenly replaced Campbell. Campbell caused a conflict as soon as he came on, which naturally aroused public suspicion.  Of course, Riley would not admit this. He insisted after the game that it was an accident. He replaced Campbell because there was not much time left in the third quarter, and Worthy did not rest for a minute in the first three quarters.  , so Campbell was asked to go up for a while to buy Worthy some more rest time. As for Campbell's foul, Riley also claimed that it was an "unintentional hurtful move, and Campbell was also punished for his move."  The fans in Portland naturally thought Riley was farting, while in Los Angeles, except for the Chinese fans, no one else had any objections to this. You must know that in the NBA in the 1980s, such conspiracies and conspiracies emerged in endlessly. If others don¡¯t tell, tonight¡¯s commentary  Guest Tom Heinsohn, his Boston Celtics have done such dirty things.  For example, in the 1984 Finals, Auerbach caused the "air-conditioning incident", turning the Boston Garden Plaza into a sauna in the summer. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was already 37 years old at the time, almost fainted from the heat; another example is in  In the 1960s, Auerbach would ask the arena staff to adjust the tightness of the baskets on both sides. When the Celtics played on the looser side of the basket, they would ask the players to speed up the offensive rhythm and shoot more shots and fast breaks.  , when the Celtics switch to a tighter basket in the second half, they will focus on positional offense and slowly grind; or the parquet flooring in the garden square will become a red-headed weapon, and those specially treated floors will allow the racket to hit the ground.  It can't bounce up. If one doesn't pay attention, the other side will contribute a mistake to the Celtics.  Heinsohn has experienced the words and deeds of the red head and is very familiar with this. When he was confronting Chamberlain with the Celtics, Auerbach told Heinsohn not to rush to the ball when retreating, but to block the ball.  Chamberlain prevented him from retreating in front of him. Finally, Chamberlain, who had always had a good temper, couldn't bear it anymore and almost started a fight with Heinsohn.  After hearing Stockton's words, Tom Heinsohn thought for a moment. As a player who is the Lakers' rival, he was 100% sure that Riley must be playing tricks. After all, his tricks are worse than those of Red Head.  It would be seen through at a glance, but on TV, Heinsohn must save some face for Riley. After all, not everything can be said on TV, so he said: "It's hard to judge this time now."  What exactly happened in the accident, but one thing is for sure, the Lakers benefited from this conflict, while the Trail Blazers suffered heavy losses. I think this incident will have a profound impact on the series, and even on the results of the entire season.  "There is no flaw in what Heinsohn said, but it also hinted that the Lakers benefited from the conflict, and the person who benefited was likely to be the implementer of the plan, which was a small way of swaying the Lakers.  But what Heinsohn said later is also very reasonable. This conflict will not only change the trend of a game, but may also change the outcome of a series or even the entire season. The Blazers' efforts for a season are likely to be in vain.  .  While the two were talking on TV, Gan Guoyang was also chatting with an old friend on the sidelines. No one thought that Michael Jackson, the superstar, would come to watch Gan Guoyang's game at this time, because  In 1987-1988, Jackson had just completed his world tour. A total of 123 concerts were held all over the world. The number of viewers and revenue both set Guinness World Records. At this time, he had become the well-deserved King of Pop.  .  In 1989, Jackson fell into silence. Apparently he was working hard to create his next album. To this end, he participated in as few public events as possible and devoted more time to music, so he appeared at the Great Western Forum Arena.  It also caused great concernIt was a sensation, and many spectators tried to come over to get Jackson's autograph. Both Gan Guoyang and Magic Johnson were left out in the cold.  Magic and Jackson are also very good friends with each other. Magic also participated in concert tours with the five Jackson brothers when he was a rookie. Gan Guoyang came to Los Angeles to play for the first time after entering the NBA and also went to Jackson for dinner with Johnson. But today  In the late game, Michael Jackson obviously sided with Gan Guoyang. Although he is in Los Angeles, he has always been a fan of the Trail Blazers.  Gan Guoyang also chatted endlessly with Jackson before the game. All reporters took photos of the two with their cameras and tried to guess what the two were talking about.  "Compared to KFC, I still prefer McDonald's. The taste of KFC's food is too monotonous and not as rich as McDonald's." "Oh no, McDonald's has too much beef and higher calories than chicken. I want to dance and need to stay in shape.  Chicken is a better choice. "If any reporter heard their conversation, they would definitely vomit blood. They were not talking about the game or music, but they were discussing who tastes better, KFC or McDonald's. It was beyond all expectations.  Unexpectedly, Michael Jackson's favorite food was KFC's fried chicken. Gan Guoyang was tired of the KFC after eating a lot of KFC in China. In comparison, he still preferred McDonald's.  Just like the content of their chat, Gan Guoyang's current mentality is still quite relaxed. Although the absence of the three main players has cast a shadow over the Blazers, for Gan Guoyang, who has experienced many years of ups and downs, this difficulty is nothing.  , as long as he can stand on the court, he will have the confidence to lead the team to defeat the opponent. In his opinion, this situation is better than being directly reimbursed for injury in 1986, and then watching the team lose.  When the warm-up was over and players from both sides began to take the court, the Blazers' starting lineup really shocked the Lakers fans.  "We looked at the Trail Blazers' starting lineup. The starting center was Kevin Duckworth, power forward, rookie Mark Bryant, small forward They used Gan, shooting guard, Jim Paxson, point guard.  Terry Porter! They gave the small forward to a center! Although Gan has good outside shooting ability, they let him play the small forward" Dick Stockton was also confused about this.  "I guess that Gan will definitely assume the responsibility of the small forward in defense to fill the hole caused by Worthy's absence, and then in the offense, Gan will still be the team's power forward, but in this way, Mark Bu  Liante's task is relatively heavy. He also has to adapt to the role change on both offense and defense. " Heinsohn quickly guessed Adelman's intention. After careful study and practice in training.  , decided to send Mark Bryant and make him the starter.  This was a very bold decision, allowing a rookie to take over in such a crucial game, and this young man who looked like Takenori Akagi walked onto the court during DJ's introduction. He also looked a little nervous. He pursed his lips.  Lips, eyes fixed, and heart beating fast.  At this time, someone came up and patted him. Bryant looked back and saw that it was Gan Guoyang who was the last one to play. Gan Guoyang looked relaxed. He said to Bryant: "Don't be nervous. Just remember two things.  "Rebound, pass the ball to me, and you can forget about the rest." "Gather the rebound, pass the ball to Gan, grab the rebound, pass the ball to Gan" This guy Mark Bryant was thinking this sentence silently in his heart. He never thought about it.  He thought he would be in the starting position this season for this reason. After coming to the Trail Blazers, he was prepared to spend two seasons on the bench.  In the regular season, he didn't get any starting opportunities, and he played very little time as a substitute. Every time he cherished this little time, he was able to contribute 4 points and 3 rebounds, and he would work hard regardless of whether it was garbage time or not.  Try your best, which is why Adelman finally used him in an unusual way - he works hard, he fights hard.  Before the start of the series, the Trail Blazers were in a strong position facing the Lakers, but now they have returned to the weak position to challenge their opponents. Only with a desperate style of play can the Blazers have a chance to win.  "The game is about to start. The Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers will start a fourth game. Will the Trail Blazers take a 3:1 lead and get the match point, or will the Lakers win and return to the same starting line? Let the players from both sides compete.  Tell us!"
