    In the first quarter, the Blazers' basket was as wide as the sea. The Blazers players, who were full of energy, led by Gan Guoyang and Terry Porter, hit a super high shooting percentage. Among them, Gan Guoyang and Bo  The two of them made five of six three-pointers. Porter's emergency three-pointer and Gan Guoyang's outside anti-aircraft turret shot made Chuck Daly want to pull his hair.  Of course, Chuck Daly will definitely not pull his hair. His hairstyle is the same as Pat Riley. It is carefully taken care of before every game, plus a meticulously ironed suit. Chuck Daly  He is affectionately called "Millionaire Daddy" by the Pistons players, which means he dresses like a millionaire.  As a coach who has seen a lot of things, it is certainly not the first time that Million Dad has encountered such a situation at the beginning. After calling two timeouts, he still couldn't stop the Blazers' fiery offensive. He shouted loudly on the sidelines.  There is no use in directing. Daley knows that he will definitely not be able to stop the Blazers' offense in the first quarter.  At this time, Daley calmed down, sat back on the bench, and began to wait patiently for the end of the first quarter.  Daly knows very well that the Portland Trail Blazers are an extremely sharp offensive team, with the highest firepower in the league, and a 360-degree offense with no blind spots. In the offensive battle with the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers relied on  The advantage of the inside is that it overwhelms the opponent on the offensive end. In the past ten years in the NBA, the only teams that can rely on offense to defeat the Lakers in the playoffs are this year's Trail Blazers and the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers.  Therefore, Daly knows that it is impossible to fight head-on with the Blazers when their offense is at their most ferocious. The momentum will eventually run out, and the Blazers cannot continue to feel hot indefinitely. All the Pistons have to do is wait.  However, they couldn't just watch the Trail Blazers make the score bigger and bigger, so Daley chose to make a substitution.  "The Pistons requested a substitution. Dennis Rodman came on and replaced Mark Aquili (the starting lineup was wrong in the previous chapter). John Long replaced Rick Mahon. There are still more than 10 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.  In 2 minutes, the Trail Blazers were 34:23, already leading the Pistons by 11 points, and the Pistons were still substituting their main players. "Daly's substitution, Sean Leigh, didn't quite understand the score in the first quarter.  The difference has reached more than ten points, and Aquili was an important scoring point for the Pistons in the first quarter, while Rick Mahon directly faced Gan Guoyang.  Needless to say, Dennis Rodman was replaced. He replaced Aquili in order to strengthen the defense, and this John Long is a complete end-of-the-bench player, and he is also a shooting guard, so the Pistons are on the court.  It was a three-guard formation, with Rodman taking the power forward position against Gan Guoyang.  When Gan Guoyang saw Rodman on the court, he knew that Daly had caused him a lot of trouble with Rodman. Rodman's candy-like defense was annoying, but now Gan Guoyang is confident that he can play well on the offensive end.  Rodman didn't fucking know him.  However, the Pistons' offense was not affected by this substitution. In fact, the Trail Blazers struggled to defend the Pistons' offense. The Pistons' offensive points were too balanced. During the entire 1989 season, the Pistons did not have a single player on the team.  The team averaged more than 20 points per game, including team leader Isiah Thomas, and Dantley, who was traded away in the mid-term. Thomas averaged 18.2 points per game.  The second-leading scorer is Joe Dumars with 17.2 points. The following players all average around 15 points per game. The six players on the team average more than 13 points per game. On the bench, Salley, Rodman,  Vinnie Johnson and James Edwards can both provide firepower, so this is a team with a well-balanced offensive lineup and play style.  The strength of the Blazers' defense lies in their very strong "pinch" ability. From a one-on-one perspective, Porter, Gan Guoyang, and Kesi are all very powerful single defense masters. Sabonis has become an excellent human shield, and Germany  Rexler has the talent to help defend. Coupled with Gan Guoyang's wide range of roaming and the team's outstanding athletic ability, the Blazers can often strangle one of the opponent's offensive strengths.  However, the Pistons are a team where anyone can become a strong point, especially their backcourt, and backcourt defense is originally a relatively weak part of the Blazers.  "Thomas passed Porter, but he didn't break through directly. He turned back and entered the inside again! He came out from the baseline, turned around and hit the shot from mid-range!" Thomas felt like he was in no one's land inside the Trail Blazers.  After relying on his exquisite ball control to easily pass Porter, he did not rush in directly, but feinted a shot and pretended to go outside. But soon he turned around again and rushed inside, shuttled under the basket, and ran to the other side to shoot a jumper.  hit.  Thomas was able to go back and forth like this because Sabonis had to run to the outside to defend Laimbeer, and Gan Guoyang couldn't target Thomas like he did Magic. Choking Magic would be equivalent to choking half of the Lakers' offense, but pinching him  Thomas only choked out a fifth.  As a result, Gan Guoyang did not have time to defend and assist Porter., lost two points.  At 34:25, the point difference returned to within 10 points, but the Trail Blazers were confident of continuing to score goals.  But soon the Trail Blazers players finally discovered the reason why Daly sent Rodman and Long. They were not here to strengthen defense, but to foul.  Porter dribbled the ball just past halftime and wanted to play a pick-and-roll with Gan Guoyang. As a result, Long directly fouled without saying a word, and the Blazers served an inbounds ball.  After a throw-in, the Blazers had to change their tactics. Gan Guoyang asked for the ball in the low post, and Kexi directly lobbed it to Gan Guoyang. As a result, when Gan Guoyang was about to make a move, Dennis Rodman hugged Gan Guoyang again, and the referee whistled again.  Foul, this time Gan Guoyang will go to the free throw line.  "Rodman committed a foul. The number of fouls committed by the entire Pistons team has reached four. Gan is about to go to the free throw line The first free throw was made, and the second one was still made! Oh, Daly, your trick may not work on Gan.  " Shaunley felt that Daley's method did not work, because every Trail Blazers player on the field was good at free throws. It was not easy to rely on foul tactics to score points in the first quarter when everyone was full of energy.  However, Rodman and Long were still implementing foul tactics. In the last three rounds, as long as the Blazers had the slightest sign of launching an offense, the two fouled without hesitation. This made the Blazers' last two offenses all come from free throws.  Finished online, Gan Guoyang and Porter made three of four free throws, but for the Pistons, Dumars hit a key three-pointer from the outside. As a result, the score at the end of the first quarter was 37:28, and the Pistons were still 9 behind.  point.  At this time, Daly seemed very satisfied with the players' performance and even touched Rodman's head. It seemed that they were not trailing by nine points at the end of the first quarter, but leading by nine points.  And Adelman also smelled a hint of conspiracy emanating from Daly. Of course, Daly would not use money against the Trail Blazers players like Riley did at this time. Rodman and Long's fouls were very serious.  Ordinary, no malicious elements.  When the two sides rested for five minutes and the second quarter started, Rodman and Long returned to the bench. Daly sent Vinnie Johnson and John Salley on the inside. At this time, the Blazers players discovered  , their hands that were hot in the first quarter have cooled down.  "Kesi broke through from the baseline for a layup, but Laimbeer hit it from behind! The Pistons launched a fast break! Vinnie Johnson dribbled the ball and made a layup. The Pistons had a 5-0 spurt, and the point difference suddenly narrowed to 4  "At the beginning of the second quarter, Laimbeer first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then missed Kexi's breakthrough layup at the defensive end. Microwave Johnson immediately scored on a fast break, beating the Trail Blazers 5-0.  At the same time, the addition of Sally on the defensive end increased the Pistons' defensive density, and Laimbeer began to directly confront Gan Guoyang.  "Good luck, three-pointers, blocks." Gan Guoyang saw Laimbeer walking towards him with a half-dead look, and couldn't help but spray him.  Ranbir glanced sideways at Gan Guoyang, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your luck won't be that good anymore." In fact, in a one-on-one situation, Gan Guoyang can beat the crap out of Ranbir, although Laimbir's single defense ability is very good.  , but Gan Guoyang's hooks and turn-over jumpers, and Laimbeer's bounce are completely at odds with him. But the problem is that Laimbeer's defense against Gan Guoyang has never been above board.  At the beginning of the second quarter, Laimbeer began to use all his methods to constantly harass Gan Guoyang by playing, playing and singing. When he was defending, he was not only observing the opponent, but also the referee. When the referee's attention was not on his side, he started to make some small moves.  , distracting Gan Guoyang's offensive attention.  The entire Pistons, starting from the end of the first quarter, have been using various methods to interfere with the Blazers' offensive rhythm. Daly sent two bench fouls, not expecting the Blazers to miss free throws, but to use these fouls to let the Blazers make free throws.  The Blazers' originally smooth offensive momentum was interrupted. Biss paused, reorganized his tactics, and started all over again. All in order to avoid the Blazers' edge, slowly drag the game into a tug-of-war, and then wait for opportunities to find  Chance.  "Porter missed a three-pointer! Laimbeer got a backcourt rebound Oh, he seemed to give Gan an elbow, but the referee didn't call it. Vinnie Johnson took the ball on a fast break and made a pull-up jumper! Hit! 39:37,  The Pistons are just one point away.¡±
