    The Detroit Pistons' lack of low-post attackers was historically hidden until 1991 before it fully exploded. However, at this time and space, they encountered the Portland Trail Blazers, a team with the strongest low-post offensive capabilities in the league.  Facing the Los Angeles Lakers in 1988, the Lakers' low-post offensive ability was strong enough. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had not completely aged, and James Worthy who was in excellent condition, but they had Dantley at that time, and Dantley was there.  In that finals, he was the Pistons' leading scorer. He was a scorer who could score 30 points in a single game. His shooting percentage in the series was as high as 57%. He was the most important and stable output point of the Pistons.  .  The Blazers' low-post strength is even more terrifying. Gan Guoyang has become the NBA's No. 1 low-post attacker since 1987, reaching his peak in 1988. However, this year, his percentage of low-post attacks has declined due to changes in his playing style.  But when he needs it, he is still the beast that can devour everything in the low post.  In the second quarter, Gan Guoyang continued to stay on the court, while Chuck Daly sent John Salley and put Bill Laimbeer off the court. This was a very risky move. In the entire league, Laimbeer counted  There are only a few low-post defenders who can make Gan Guoyang uncomfortable, and Sally and Dennis Rodman harassed Gan Guoyang in the second and third games, but they still achieved good results. Daly wants to continue to try this  The effect of defensive combination on Gan Guoyang.  John Salley was a rookie in 1986 from Georgia Tech. He was the No. 11 pick and the last high-ranking pick of the Pistons, because starting from the 1987 playoffs, the Pistons had never fallen out of the Eastern Conference Finals.  Sally has one characteristic that is exactly the same as Gan Guoyang, that is, his long arms. After Sally came to the Pistons, this cheerful and lively young man was somewhat incompatible with the calm and sophisticated style of the Pistons. During training, he also interacted with the team's locker room.  The boss, Bill Laimbeer, had a fight, but within the Pistons, having a fight showed that he had truly joined the group. Two seasons of training and experience in the finals made the 6-foot-11-inch Spider-Man fast.  He has grown into an important player on the Pistons bench and a defensive warrior.  Different from the rough and reckless defense of "Beef Guy" Rick Mahon, Sally followed a route of wide coverage and precise interference, exactly the same as Gan Guoyang. The defensive area was huge, and he was very capable of marking and pressing the ball holder.  He is tight and interferes a lot when shooting to the opponent. At the same time, like his character, he is also a very active and dedicated player, deeply loved by his teammates and coaches.  In tonight's crucial battle, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting explosive charges to block the Blazers' most ferocious firepower. Of course, Daly was worried and sent Rodman to help. Both guys have long hands.  The legs are long, and it looks like they are going to be used as a cage to frame Gan Guoyang.  However, Gan Guoyang soon proved that John Saliga Rodman could not guard him at all.  At the beginning of the second quarter, both Drexler and Porter took a rest. Paxson and Danny Young were partnered in the backcourt. Adelman's meaning was very clear. Just organize the backcourt and just defend and attack.  Don't worry about it. Danny Young handed over the ball as soon as half-time passed. Gan Guoyang caught the ball with his back in a relatively shallow position. Now playing against the Pistons, Gan Guoyang would not dare to catch the ball in a too deep position because of the Pistons' package.  The clip is too sharp and timely.  After Gan Guoyang caught the ball, he knew Rodman was about to pounce, so he took a sigma step, turned his back to the basket, and shot a straight-arm pull-up jumper before Rodman pounced.  Sally's arms are indeed long enough, and he reacted quickly to the ball, almost catching it, but the ball still hit the net hollowly. Gan Guoyang looked like this at 45 degrees, 15 feet away from the basket. I don't know if he has practiced  How many times Sigma steps up and shoots a jumper, and it doesn't matter whether anyone is guarding him or not.  After scoring the goal, Gan Guoyang pointed at Rodman, as if telling him not to run around.  The Pistons also retain an offensive core, and that is Isiah Thomas. As the number one star of this Pistons, Thomas's brilliance in the Pistons is not as dazzling as Gan Guoyang's in the Trail Blazers, because the Pistons are still essentially a team team.  The team, and the team's locker room is not entirely led by Thomas. Bill Lambie is the real talker, and on the court, Joe Dumars assumes similar responsibilities to Thomas. If there is any difference  , that is, Thomas is the Pistons' only scoring point.  Without Dantley, the Pistons only have the ability to take over the game on the offensive end.  Thomas carried out Riley's intention, insisting on switching offense and defense, reducing positional offense, and preventing position battles with the Trail Blazers. They lacked low-post offensive points and could not defeat the Trail Blazers, so the Pistons served quickly and Thomas directly held the ball. Suddenly, a  He changed direction and accelerated past Danny Young, then went straight to the basket.  Gan Guoyang and Buck Williams under the basketThomas was waiting for him. Thomas was not afraid. He took off without slowing down and went straight to the layup against Gan Guoyang.  Gan Guoyang stretched out his arms and straightened his body to prevent being blown away from the cylinder and try to block Thomas's shooting space as much as possible. However, Thomas did not go for a layup directly, but instead made a pull rod in the air. The ball passed from Buck Williams and  Gan Guoyang passed by and then made a low-hand pick. The ball circled around the basket and fell into the net.  A very exciting goal. Both Gan Guoyang and Buck Williams defended very well, but they still failed to prevent Thomas from scoring in such a clever way.  Correspondingly, Thomas also pointed towards Buck Williams, as if telling him that there is no use running around to cover up defense.  The top stars on both sides began to regard the opponent's defense as nothing.  Dennis Rodman soon discovered that his enthusiasm was not effective. Rodman is actually a very smart player. On the defensive end, he is not a strong one-on-one defender. It is difficult for him to lock down the opponent by himself.  Attack point, but he is very smart and knows how to use reasonable positioning and chicken thieves' attacks to suddenly steal a ball, suddenly cause an offensive foul to the opponent, suddenly make the opponent make a mistake, and suddenly make the opponent furious while he is leisurely strolling.  In the Eastern Conference Finals, Rodman played with Scottie Pippen like this. Every time he made Pippen disgraced, Rodman would hold his head high with a look of contempt on his face, and then use his signature high-pitched  Run back to the other half with a leg lift.  But this time, Gan Guoyang is smarter than him. Just like Larry Bird back then, Gan Guoyang is very good at observing. For Gan Guoyang, a John Salley is not worth 100% of his energy.  To deal with it, Sally's advantage is that his arms are long and cover a large area, much like Gan Guoyang, but his disadvantage is that he is not strong enough. This is unlike Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang can push Sally away with half his butt, then catch the ball, and then return the ball.  Being able to hold the ball and observe the opponent's defense, Gan Guoyang paid most attention to Rodman. Rodman's small movements were all under Gan Guoyang's observation.  Gan Guoyang was in a shallow position and wanted to double-team. Gan Guoyang immediately turned around and attacked in the other direction. He wanted to stand on the offensive line and draw a foul. Gan Guoyang directly chose to shoot, not giving Rodman a chance to cause a foul at all. Moreover, Gan Guoyang appeared now.  The ball is fast and the response is timely. He is a center with excellent error control, so Rodman did nothing in the second quarter and was fooled around by Gan Guoyang.  Rodman is a very emotional player when he plays. If he plays well and gets excited, he will get better and better. If he plays poorly and gets frustrated, his emotions will be affected and he will start to lose his temper and even lose his temper. Chuck Daly  He was also well aware of Rodman's characteristics. Seeing the expression on Rodman's face getting worse and worse, he finally maliciously pulled Gan Guoyang down during one of Gan Guoyang's attacks. Daly immediately took the opportunity to replace Rodman.  He took a moment to cool off on the bench.  Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line. After making two free throws, the Trail Blazers still maintained the lead, but their leading score was only three points. The reason is very simple. Sally and Rodman could not guard Gan Guoyang and Danny Young.  Even Paxson couldn't guard Thomas.  Thomas obviously entered the state in the second quarter, and his offensive feeling is very good. He is like an offensive defender. Entering the three-point line after halftime means entering his attack range. He can rush anytime and anywhere.  Stopping jump shots to end the offense, and his breakthrough speed is too fast. Danny Young and Paxson can't keep up with his speed. Gan Guoyang cannot fully defend every ball, which will be very costly.  The superstars on both sides just resisted the team's progress, and the Trail Blazers still maintained a slight advantage in the score. However, in Adelman's view, the Trail Blazers' advantage was not just a three-pointer.
