    The Blazers' hard work in the first half was all in vain within two minutes. With one three-pointer, one steal, and two fast breaks, the Lakers completed the situation in the shortest time and in the easiest way.  With a twist, Magic Johnson seemed to have real magic, turning the field upside down in an instant.  The Blazers' players obviously haven't recovered enough yet. During the halftime break, the players were still cheering each other on, but once they got to the court, they were beaten into confusion.  Seeing that the situation was not going well, Adelman decisively called a timeout. The Great Western Forum suddenly became very lively. Lakers fans seemed to feel that the Trail Blazers would not be able to hold on in the third quarter.  "The Lakers' counterattack came so quickly. I think the Trail Blazers players haven't come out of the slow pace of the first half, and they were suddenly beaten by the Lakers." Dick Stockton said about the Lakers' quickness.  The Cyclone's offense is also very impressive. Since 1986, the Lakers' lineup, which has been built entirely with Magic as the core, can bring such exciting offensive shock waves in every game.  "The Trail Blazers have some problems in the backcourt. I think the physical strength of Porter and Paxson will be a big problem." Tom Heinsohn immediately pointed out the problem with the Trail Blazers. Yes, Porter and Parker  Sen was indeed a little tired.  Although the game has just entered the third quarter, Paxson played the entire first half, and he is already a 34-year-old veteran. He has served as a substitute in most games this season, playing only one minute per game.  In about 25 minutes, he is likely to play the entire game, which will be a huge test for his physical strength.  And Terry Porter launched many fast and sudden attacks in the first half, which was very physically demanding. After all, apart from him, the Blazers did not have a third stable offensive point with the ball. Now it was the second half.  , the Trail Blazers, who had physical problems in the backcourt, were forced into a fast break by the Lakers. At the same time, they could not prevent Magic's breakthrough. The situation was extremely unfavorable to the Trail Blazers.  Adelman was also aware of this problem. After weighing it, he decided to keep Porter and Paxson on the court, but at the same time he replaced Mark Bryant and replaced him with Danny Young.  In other words, he deployed a three-back lineup.  "This is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of most people. The Lakers' backcourt height and wingspan are among the best in the league. If Danny Young is replaced, who will defend AC Green?  Or who will defend Worthy?  Who is going to defend Magic?  So when the Blazers ended their timeout and returned to the court, Dick Stockton felt that the Blazers were committing suicide.  "Adelman replaced Danny Young! The Trail Blazers' backcourt height has been reduced again, with three guards. You must know that the Lakers' backcourt height is about the same as that of the three forwards. Playing like this is tantamount to suicide, or what does Adelman have?  Any other ideas? "No one knows whether Adelman has any other ideas, but everyone knows his offensive ideas, which is to open up and feed Gan Guoyang the ball.  "Danny Young controlled the ball for half the court, and Johnson was guarding him. Danny Young was too small and was about to be double-teamed! The ball was still passed out, and Gan came out to respond. Gan took the ball and broke through directly from the right.  A direct one-handed dunk! "Gan Guoyang only dribbled the ball once!" Seeing that Danny Yang was about to be forced to pass the ball, Gan Guoyang ran to the right to receive the ball and turned around directly.  The inside line is different. When other inside lines get the ball at this position, they must turn around and walk along the baseline, dribble in small steps, and force a layup. But Gan Guoyang didn't. He didn't give the Lakers' inside line a chance to defend. After catching the ball, he grabbed Qiu with one hand and patted it.  The ball, a big stride and then a one-handed dunk!  "This reminds me of Dr. J Irving's dunk over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." Gan Guoyang's dunk is indeed exactly the same as Irving's dunk. In fact, those with clear memories should know that Gan Guoyang faced the Lakers for the first time in his rookie season.  Shi also used such a dunk, which shocked everyone.  Such a goal does not give the opponent a chance to defend at all. This is also Gan Guoyang's consistent style. Some superstars are the kind that you feel you have defended with all your strength, but they can still score, such as Michael Jordan, and Gan Guoyang  It's the kind where you don't even have a chance to use force, and he just throws the ball in.  The reason for this difference is that as a Chinese player, Gan Guoyang cannot reach the level of black people no matter how good his physical fitness is. However, his rich and unique offensive methods, coupled with excellent offensive options and incredible touch,  It will make the opponent feel that he is unable to use his strength.  The Lakers also scored soon. Byron Scott received a pass from Magic on the outside and hit a three-pointer. Because the Trail Blazers had three guards, their defense shrank again and again.  But Gan Guoyang immediately responded with a goal. He received a pass from Paxson at 15 feet and hit a hook shot. AC Green, who was guarding him, was shaken for a moment, then lost his focus on defense, and in the end he could only watch helplessly.  Looking at Gan Guo?The hook hit.  "If you want to guard me, you must first learn not to jump." After Gan Guoyang scored, he pointed at Green and said, and Green looked numb. Anyway, he was sprayed too much by Gan Guoyang, so he could only pretend that he couldn't hear it, but he was  I also remembered this sentence in my heart, thinking that I must be careful about his fake moves next time.  Soon, the game entered a tug-of-war between the Lakers and Gan Guoyang. Magic tried his best to find opportunities for his teammates, and once he found an offensive opportunity, he would never be soft; while the rest of the Trail Blazers created various  A chance for Gan Guoyang to play in singles.  At this time, the advantages of the three guards are revealed. With one more guard, their passing of the ball from the outside and feeding Gan Guoyang are much smoother, and the three of them can also open up enough space, because once the Lakers double-team,  Gan Guoyang passed the ball to Porter or Paxson, and they could really hit the three-pointer. With Danny Young, Porter and Paxson's ball-holding tasks were also relieved a lot. Even if their physical strength cannot be restored on the court, the wear and tear can be  Slower.  Lakers fans soon discovered that the suppressive counterattack they expected never came. Every time the Lakers scored a beautiful goal, their brewing emotions were always disrupted by Gan Guoyang's clean singles, so that later the fans  We are all accustomed to the tug-of-war between you and me.  In fact, the Lakers players also want to guard Gan Guoyang, but whether it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, AC Green or Sampson who comes on the bench, there is nothing they can do against Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang's offensive point is stable in the 60-degree area from the front, breaking through in the middle.  , jump shots from the top of the arc, wing hooks, and offensive rebounds. His shots are extremely fast and his movements are extremely clean, without giving the defensive players any time to react.  In the words of Tom Heinsohn, "Gan has been immersed in his own offensive rhythm and cannot extricate himself." 15 points, 17 points, 20 points, 22 points Gan Guoyang's scores continued to rise in the third quarter.  When he hit a three-pointer in the 11th minute, his score in the third quarter had reached an astonishing 25 points, only 6 points away from his highest scoring record in a single quarter, and Pat Lay on the sidelines  Lee finally couldn't stand the fact that the team allowed Gan Guoyang to score like this. He was so angry that he threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground, and then asked the referee for a timeout, although the third quarter was about to end.  "The Lakers' timeout, this is a magical quarter! Gan alone represents the entire Trail Blazers team. The Trail Blazers scored 34 points in a single quarter, of which Gan alone scored 25 points! 25 points! This is the playoffs  Gan Guoyang scored 17 points in the first quarter, 10 points in the second quarter, and the third quarter.  With 25 points, Gan Guoyang scored 52 points from the Great Western Forum in the third quarter.  Riley was already a little crazy at this time. Magic's performance was good enough, and the other players were also at normal levels, but no one could withstand such a turret outputting such a steady output in his own three-second zone. Riley  Li almost roared and asked the inside players to defend Gan Guoyang to death.  The third quarter ended quickly, and Gan Guoyang did not take a rest. At this moment in the game, Adelman did not dare to put Gan Guoyang on the bench easily. Maybe if he sat on the bench for two minutes, the Lakers could completely close the score.  At this time, the Trail Blazers were only one point behind the Lakers, 84:85.  In the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally began to double-team Gan Guoyang at all costs. Green, Cooper, and Wallridge, the Lakers' three most aggressive defensive players, were all used to deal with Gan Guoyang in a escort-style defense.  Gan Guoyang is not a god after all. Under such defense, his shooting percentage also began to decline.  However, Adelman knew that the Lakers were going to fight for their lives, and the Trail Blazers also started to fight for their lives. Mark Bryant returned to the court, and Duckworth also replaced Sabonis, a veteran who ran for three whole quarters without rest.  Paxson returned to the bench and Brands came on the court. This was a completely defensive lineup, and the Trail Blazers began to stifle the Lakers' offense at all costs.  Like two gladiators dueling to the death, after fighting for a long time, both sides lost too much blood and could no longer hold their weapons. They finally began to fight with fists and bite their opponents to death.  "The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides was like watching a boxing match! Another foul! Mark Bryant's foul. This is his fourth foul of the game. It seems that the Lakers don't want to score easily under the basket.  "Gan forced a layup! There were three people hanging on him! Foul, Wallridge's foul! Now he has to stand on the free throw line.  I never thought that this game would reach this point. "The time has come to fight for our lives. Maybe the Trail Blazers are still inferior to the Lakers in terms of victory, but the biggest problem the Lakers face now is that they are in the same situation.  I underestimated the Portland Trail Blazers' ability to win this game from the beginning.In their hearts, they took it for granted that the Trail Blazers would give up this game and return to Portland to play Tianwangshan due to the loss of players. However, they did not know that Gan Guoyang had already vowed to win this away game with his teammates before the game, and then return to Portland to end the series.  race.
