    This was perhaps the most brutal fourth quarter of any game since the start of the playoffs. In the fourth minute of the fourth quarter, Worthy hit Mark Bryant on the eyebrow with an elbow.  , Mark Bryant was bleeding profusely for a while, and the referee had to stop the game. This was the second time bleeding occurred in the fourth quarter. Two minutes ago, Duckworth had just opened Cooper's brow bone.  While the team doctor was treating Bryant, players from both sides came to the bench to drink water and gasp for air. The real time of the four-minute game was more than ten minutes, with dead balls, fouls, and timeouts.  The four minutes passed by extremely long.  Bryant's blood kept flowing, but no conflict broke out between the two sides. Firstly, the Trail Blazers didn't want to make the same mistake as the last game. Secondly, they really didn't have the time and energy to argue with the Lakers players.  The Blazers, who had no one available, had tapped into all their potential. Everyone on the bench stepped up for a minute or two to buy some rest time for the main players.  Gan Guoyang stood on the sidelines and drank gulps of water. This was his few rest time in the second half. The bright yellow main color of the Great Western Forum Arena made him feel irritated, just like the Lakers players wearing yellow jerseys on the opposite side.  At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers used the harshest double-team on him. Even if the referee whistled twice for illegal defense, it could not stop Riley from strangling Gan Guoyang.  However, the Trail Blazers began to seize the score. On offense, they tried their best to attack, while on defense, they worked hard to interfere with every pass and shot of the Lakers, running, covering up, and rotating at all costs.  , Jim Paxson obviously couldn't hold on any longer. His physical fitness began to be overdrawn. Such a fierce game consumed the veteran who had recently recovered from injury.  Adelman has already benched Paxson, seemingly saving him for the last minute.  "Mark Bryant has finished bandaging, and the game continues. The competition between the two sides has reached a fever pitch. Everyone does not seem to be playing on the floor, but in the mud, struggling." The score on the court at this time is 93:  94, the Trail Blazers were still one point behind the Lakers. As Worthy elbowed Bryant, the ball returned to the Trail Blazers. Terry Porter and Danny Young controlled the ball for more than half of the game, and Porter had no third goal.  In the first quarter, he was as energetic as a young wild horse. He began to dribble forward slowly like an old cow. The person standing in front of him was Michael Cooper, who had exhausted his energy. He also had gauze on his brow bone.  .  "Porter controlled the ball and handed it to Gan in the high post. The Trail Blazers players stood still. No one moved actively. The Lakers began to double-team Gan! Gan passed the ball to Sabonis, and Sabonis caught the ball and turned around to hook! The ball!  Missed! But Mark Bryant got the rebound and handed the ball back to Porter Porter shot directly from the outside! But this time Gan grabbed the rebound and three people were surrounding the basket.  With him, Gan forced a layup and fouled. The referee's whistle sounded and AC Green fouled. "AC Green fouled the defender and sent Gan Guoyang to the free throw line. Now the Blazers' offense is so difficult. Others.  It's difficult to score, but they are very active in fighting for offensive rebounds. They also gave up quickly retreating and risked being counterattacked by the Lakers' forwards to earn offensive rebounds as a team because they knew that retreating might not be able to block it.  Instead of relying on the Lakers' fast break, it's better to take a gamble and get another offensive opportunity.  Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line. So far in the fourth quarter, 5 of his points have come from free throws. This is completely different from his playing style in the first three quarters. In the first half, Gan Guoyang used various easy and confrontation-free scoring methods to score goals.  Score points to reduce physical exertion. In the third quarter, Gan Guoyang's physical strength and touch reached the peak, and his scoring was like picking out objects. But in the fourth quarter, his physical strength was also declining, and the opponent's defensive intensity continued to increase, so he had to use his  Use your experience and body to score points.  Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and adjusted his breathing. At this stage of the game, even a few seconds on the free throw line is a good opportunity to rest. Especially for the players on the bench, it would be good to get a little more rest time.  of.  Gan Guoyang slowly made two free throws, and the Blazers completed the lead.  "61 points! Gan has scored 61 points! He is still two points away from Michael Jordan's playoff scoring record of 63 points! There are still 7 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter. Gan has a lot of time to break this  "Gan Guoyang has already scored 61 points. The fourth quarter is far from over. The record is close at hand, but Gan Guoyang is not thinking about the playoff scoring record at all. He is thinking about how the team will do.  Win.  However, Gan Guoyang returned to the defensive end, stood under the basket, and found that his hands had begun to shake a little.  "Oops, my hands are starting to shake. As expected, problems will start as soon as the number of shots exceeds 35." Gan Guoyang tried his best to control his hands from shaking, and at the same time??Let yourself focus on defense, but for a player who has taken 35 shots in the game and is very focused on offense and defense, his body may really be unable to bear it.  "Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's pick-and-roll, Magic went directly to the inside and dunked! The ball went in! Magic's dunk was on Gan's head." Johnson quickly relied on a simple pick-and-roll to get into the inside and dunk successfully.  At this time, Gan Guoyang didn't even have time to jump to block the shot.  Obviously, Gan Guoyang's reaction speed is also declining. For ordinary players, with so many shots and heavy defensive pressure on the defensive end, it is already good to be able to still stand on the court at this point in the game.  On the surface, Gan Guoyang seemed to be fine, and only he knew about some strange situations.  "Gan got the ball in the low post and double-teamed. Gan passed the ball back to Yang. Yang then lobbed the ball in. Gan caught the ball and turned over and shot a jump shot The ball went in! The ball went in again! 63 points! Gan tied Jordan  record of scoring in the playoffs! He supported a team by himself, and the Trail Blazers overtook him again! " "It's incredible. Judging from one goal alone, it's nothing, but in one game, he scored like this continuously!  It's not that simple to score 63 points. It's terrible. His scoring ability and his physical strength." Tom Heinsohn couldn't help but start to admire him. This old man is very rare.  Praise for players other than the Celtics.  The players on the Trail Blazers bench jumped for joy. Gan Guoyang's performance was undoubtedly inspiring. He tied the playoff scoring record and was only one step away from setting a new historical record.  But many times, the so-called one step away may be the difference between heaven and earth. When Gan Guoyang scored his 63rd point and then missed three consecutive attacks, Adelman also realized that Gan Guoyang's physical strength may really be  Unable to hold on anymore, he wanted to replace Gan Guoyang, but Gan Guoyang shook his head at him and he still insisted on staying on the court.  However, Gan Guoyang himself also knew that it was really difficult for him to score goals. His hands were shaking more and more violently. When receiving a pass from his teammates, he could clearly feel that his grip on the ball was insufficient and he began to lose his grip.  The ball is gone.  At this time, the Lakers began to take the opportunity to score consecutively, because Gan Guoyang's footsteps and jumping speed on the defensive end also slowed down. The only thing that made Adelman fortunate after all was that the Lakers' offense was not efficient due to physical reasons, and  Gan Guoyang's defensive rebounds were still well protected. He couldn't grab them himself, but he could accurately block the position for his teammates to grab. Therefore, the Blazers were not knocked down all at once.  It's just that the Lakers are still slowly opening up the score, leading by one point, three points, five points, seven points. Seeing the Lakers opening the score bit by bit, some Lakers fans at the scene seemed to be in high spirits. Riley kept tight.  The frown began to slowly relax.  "Magic is controlling the rhythm. In less than two minutes in the last minute, he is leading by 7 points. He wants to slowly run out of time." Magic Johnson has begun to delay time. In this game, even he is not willing to play any more.  In one second, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was already sitting on the bench, and Skyhook was extremely tired.  The Trail Blazers defended a 24-second violation against the Lakers. In the last 1 minute and 30 seconds, they were still 7 points behind the Lakers. Everything seemed to be over. The two teams were going back to Portland to play Tianwang Mountain.  "The Trail Blazers paused and Adelman replaced Jim Paxson. This is a last-ditch effort." Adelman replaced Paxson and replaced Danny Young. Paxson was already resting on the bench.  After 7 minutes, he has become the Blazers' last lifeline.  This was the last timeout in Adelman's hands. He had called timeouts several times before, just to let Gan Guoyang rest for a while, but Gan Guoyang's physical strength was inevitably losing rapidly.  "A key offense, if the Blazers can't hit it, then their game will be over. Sabonis made a free throw from the outside, but Gan came out to receive the ball. Sabonis passed the ball to Gan, Porter, and Gan lobbed the ball to  Porter broke through with the ball! But he passed the ball to Paxson in the corner, and Paxson took the ball and shot a three-pointer! "This is the serving tactic used by Jack Ramsay when coaching the team in the past!  Players have long been familiar with this tactic. Porter didn't even need to look to know that Paxson had passed Gan Guoyang's screen and ran to the bottom corner to wait for him. Paxson, who had rested for half a quarter, had sufficient physical strength.  Three-pointer hit!  "Beep!" Riley immediately called a timeout. This was also the Lakers' last timeout. Riley demanded that the next offense must hit. As long as one more ball is hit, the Blazers' chance of survival will be infinitely close to zero.  "Paxson's three-pointer extended the life of the Trail Blazers. What a precious three-pointer. A veteran is a veteran Okay, the timeout is over. The Lakers' offense is also critical. Riley will kill Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."  On the court, it seems that the Lakers also need a veteran??'s help.  "No matter how old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is, he is a player that opponents have to guard against at critical moments, because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook is the most lethal weapon among centers at critical moments. "The Lakers serve, Magic receives the ball,  Green came up to cover, Porter, Porter and Gan's double attack!  The ball was about to be lostthe ball was thrown. Gan fell to the ground and snatched the ball away!  He handed the ball to Porter, who quickly broke with the ball, Porter!  He passed the ball to Paxson in the bottom corner, and Paxson made another three-pointer!  The ball went in again!  Another three points!  Another three-pointer from Paxson!  " "Oh my God, Paxson, three-pointer.  "The Blazers once again used a fast break tactic from the Ramsey era to complete this attack. Paxson came to the baseline like the left wing of an airplane, received the ball from the middle, and hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball. The second three-pointer  , 104:105, the score difference became one point. The Lakers fans all stood up. The game reached the most tense moment. Many people covered their eyes. One point, no timeout, everything had to be handed over.  The players on the court, Riley and Adelman, were anxious as if they were about to have a heart attack. Johnson's mistake was too fatal. He was eager to make up for his mistake. As a result, he chose to force a breakthrough and layup during the offense.  He wanted to find a foul, but the referee would not call a foul easily at this time. As a result, his layup was missed due to the interference of Gan Guoyang! Sabonis got the backboard! "Clam-down!  Clam-down!  (Calm down, calm down!)" Adelman yelled from the sidelines, and kept gesturing with his hands to ask the players to stabilize. There were only 41 seconds left in the game, and the Trail Blazers had enough time to make a good attack. "Bione Blazers  The Trail Blazers had the chance to take the lead, the Trail Blazers had the chance to take the lead, Porter was controlling the rhythm, Terry Porter, the Lakers defense expanded to the entire court, Paxson came out to respond, Paxson wanted to pass the ball to Gan, Gan got the ball, but  There were three people in front of him, and he passed the ball to Porter again, who received the ball and broke through from the middle!  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar under the basket!  The ball is lost!  Porter's ball dropped!  Johnson counterattacked with the ball!  " Porter's layup was missed due to the interference of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's huge body, and Magic intercepted the ball. Johnson looked up and saw that there were still 33 seconds left in the game. Even if the 24 seconds ran out, it would still be over.  9 seconds were left for the Trail Blazers, which was too much time. At the same time, the Trail Blazers' backcourt was empty. Worthy had already passed the half court and scored another fast break goal. With a three-point advantage, the Lakers were invincible.  In a blink of an eye, Johnson made a decision and passed the ball to James Worthy. Worthy received the pass from his old partner steadily and went straight to the basket with the ball.  , jump dunk!  "Worsey's dunk was like a thunderbolt, which was difficult for ordinary people to stop. He himself was full of confidence, but he didn't realize that at this time, his take-off height was no longer as high as usual. "Worsey the ball was caught up by the cloth.  Ryant blocked it!  Mark Bryant!  He blocked Worthy's dunk!  There was no foul, the referee did not call a foul!  This is a great hat!  Paxson, who followed, got the ball!  ¡± Mark Bryant has made a contribution! As a rookie, he still has the most abundant physical strength. He blocked Worthy¡¯s dunk from behind! His hand just touched the ball lightly and knocked the ball away.  Knock it down! "Paxon dribbles the ball, this is the Trail Blazers' last chance, willing to get the ball in the low post!  " Paxson saw Gan Guoyang asking for the ball in the low post, which was his most familiar offensive position, 12 feet, on the left low rib. Paxson passed the ball decisively. "Gan got the ball, turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper!  "Gan Guoyang didn't hesitate at all after getting the ball. He is not a player who is good at fadeaway jumpers, but he knows that at this time, only a fadeaway jumper can throw the ball out. Under the double-teaming and blocking of three people, he relied on his back jumpers.  With his back and wingspan, he threw the ball. Then, Gan Guoyang fell to the ground hard. He had exhausted all his strength on this shot, but he looked at the ceiling of the arena, waiting for the voices of the Lakers fans.  , he didn¡¯t hear whether it was an emotional cheer or a disappointed lament. He heard Adelman¡¯s roar: ¡°Get up!  Back on defense!  " Gan Guoyang immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed back to the backcourt. At this time, he saw Magic Johnson shoot a desperate three-pointer near the midline. The ball hit the neck of the basket and missed. The timer stopped.  The lights came on, the buzzer sounded, and the game was over. Gan Guoyang looked up at the scorer. Trailer-Blazers 106: 105 Lakers, the Trail Blazers had a one-point advantage, narrowly beating the Lakers! All the Blazers players rushed up and surrounded Gan Guoyang. The reporters also  He rushed up with a camera and a microphone, wanting to interview Gan Guoyang "No-back!"  No-back!  I-love-Los-Angeles, but-there-will-be-no-back!  (Won¡¯t come back again???Won't come back, I love Los Angeles, but I won't come back!  )" After saying that, Gan Guoyang lay down in the arms of his teammates.
