(I just found that 4,000 words per chapter is really the lowest-efficient word count, more than 3,000, less than 5,000, and even less than 10,000 for two chapters. I lost a lot... In the future, a chapter of 3,000 will save me a lot of money to make up 4,000 words. At the same time, this also means that you can add updates and bring the pace faster. From next month, I will try to make up tens of thousands of updates.)

"A tough dunk! Gan is like a little buffalo, pushing all his opponents away and snatching the ball. His broad shoulders are like the horns of a buffalo, which undoubtedly creates good conditions for him to confront him at the basket."

Gan Guoyang's body shape is indeed the best template for playing basketball. He has long limbs, wide shoulders, thick back, and can always squeeze out space by relying on body collisions to make up for his lack of height.

Gan Guoyang's dunk finally allowed the Trail Blazers to sweep away the decline since the beginning of the first quarter, boosting the morale of the entire team again.

"I think the Lakers are in some trouble, and the Trail Blazers are starting to find their game feel, and we can feel that the Trail Blazers are increasingly firm in executing their tactics."

The Trail Blazers have always adhered to their tactical routines. Although the effect was not good at the beginning and they were unable to completely lock the Lakers' offense, the Trail Blazers first stabilized their position.

They are no longer the sudden attacks by blue-collar players like Lambis at the beginning of the first quarter, and if the Lakers want to score, they must use 12 points of strength.

As long as the Lakers' offense is more difficult and their shooting rate is lowered, even if they are only reduced by 5 percentage points, it means that the Trail Blazers will have one more offensive opportunity after every few rounds, and they have lost two points less.

If the offensive success rate is improved, the inside and outside will be four points.

Although basketball games are not math problems, the scores will fluctuate and change with the trend of the game. The scores are the most honest. You will not give you more points because of your dunk, nor will you give you fewer points because of your free throw.

So, the Trail Blazers, who stood firm and stabilized the lower set, finally withstood the Lakers' heavy punch and were able to start an effective counterattack.

The game ended in the second half of the second quarter, and the double entered the stage of intertwined canines. The difference between the scores on both sides was always between 4 points and 2 points.

Gan Guoyang still did not make any effort on the offensive end, because the Trail Blazers were actually in good condition on the outside in the first half, especially Paxson, who was quite eye-catching on both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, his shooting feel was not good today, but he decisively changed his strategy and began to increase his breakthrough and near-basket attacks.

Of course, Paxson's breakthrough speed is not fast, but his pass is very threatening. Once he is allowed to cut into the basket, it will cause great trouble to the Lakers' defense.

On the defensive end, he defended Magic Johnson today. In the second half of the first quarter and the second quarter, Johnson's performance was not as exciting as the beginning. Of course, it was mainly because it was not yet time for Johnson to exert force, and Parkson's active defense also made an indelible contribution.

With 55 seconds left before the end of the first half, Ramsey called a short pause to arrange the last few offenses and defenses.

Ramsey didn't want the Trail Blazers to enter the second half with a lagging score. At this time, they were still 4 points behind the Lakers at 56:60. In all the games that the Trail Blazers lost, they almost fell behind in the first half and entered the second half.

This shows a problem, that is, the Trail Blazers are rarely turned around, and they have no example of being turned around with a big score lead this season.

The reason is that the Trail Blazers have a very good offense, both internal and external balance, and good speed and slowness. Therefore, once the score leads, the smoother the game. As long as you don’t encounter a team with strong defense or feel too bad, the Trail Blazers can keep the lead until midfield.

Currently, the strongest defense teams in the league are in the East. For example, the Bucks, the Trail Blazers are directly knocked down by their opponents, which is also a big test for the Trail Blazers who are about to face more Eastern teams.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers rarely turn around and win games. Once they fall too far behind in the first half, the Trail Blazers will basically be declared defeated in this game.

This is because the Trail Blazers' defense is too ordinary. When they are behind in large scores, the key is to defend themselves. The defense must be strong and make the opponent unable to score continuously. At the same time, the team will quickly score points. Otherwise, the more you go back and forth, the more you drag the scores, the harder it will be to chase.

Therefore, Ramsey must seize the last minute of the second quarter and strive to smooth the score difference and not lead the backward into the second half. This is also a psychological pressure for Trail Blazers players, because everyone knows that they have a high probability of losing in the half.

"Paxson, Sampson, KiKi, you form a strong triangle on the left side, Sampson you are in the low post, Paxson is in the bottom corner, Sampson is in the right low post, Cort is at the top of the arc. Sampson you get the ball in the low post, Paxson slips around the bottom line, and with the help of Gan and Sampson covers, run to the bottom line to attract defense. You can choose to cut into the basket, or you can choose to move outward to 45 degrees. If Paxson has a chance to shoot, Sampson you have to be in time

Transfer the ball, while Cort is good at receiving and overresponding. KiKi remember to add Paxson's position. If possible, you can also choose to slip on the bottom line, or directly choose to shoot on the weak side. Gan, grab the rebound." Ramsey used an extremely fast speech speed to arrange a common tactic for the Trail Blazers. Transfer the ball on the strong and weak side, and find an offensive opportunity by pulling the opponent's defense. If not, you can also choose singles in the inside, which is a very flexible tactical arrangement.

Gan Guoyang stood next to Ramsey and listened carefully to the coach's arrangements, waiting for his name to appear, while preparing to keep his responsibilities in mind.

As a result, Ramsey said in the end, and then added a supplementary sentence "Gan, grab the rebound". Gan Guoyang almost squirted Gatorade on Ramsey's head.

But Gan Guoyang naturally had to obey the coach's arrangements. Of course, he wanted to have a tactical status like Sampson. In fact, Ramsey often asked Gan Guoyang to play the tactical axis now, but at the critical moment, Ramsey still trusted the experienced Sampson more.

"The timeout is over, both sides return to the court, there are 55 seconds left in the first half, and both sides have an offense. The Trail Blazers should have an extra offensive opportunity. Let's see this goal. Gan Guoyang sent the sideline ball... Van derwich, passed it to Paxson, Paxson threw it to Sampson, Sampson played single at the low post... Passed the ball! Cort broke through with the ball! Passed the ball to Van derwich, and Van derwich took the ball! The ball did not go in!"

The Trail Blazers' tactics are fine, but Van derwich failed to hit the bottom line.

After Sampson held the ball at a low post, he found that the Lakers were very careful in controlling Paxson. Lambis had already chased him out of the three-second zone to surround Paxson, so there was no chance on the other side.

So he pretended to attack, but passed the ball to Cort who cut in. Cort also rushed in and let the Lakers' defense line shrink, and then passed the ball to Van derwich at the base line. Van derwich took the ball but the ball failed.

Gan Guoyang's main job in this offense was to serve a ball, and then he stood at the top of the arc and didn't know what to do.

Then he saw Van dervich missed the shot and he couldn't rush in to grab the frontcourt rebound, the ball was too far away from him.

Gan Guoyang had to quickly return to defense, but just as his butt turned around, Paxson intercepted the ball in the frontcourt!

After grabbing the backcourt rebound, Jabbar saw that he had no chance to get a quick break with one pass, so he wanted to stabilize and play one, but was attacked by Paxson behind him, and the ball was taken out of his hand by the opponent.

Once the ball fell to the ground, it would be a small world. Paxson fell to the ground and held the ball in his arms. The Lakers players around rushed over to grab the ball, trying to cause a scramble.

Gan Guoyang really thought he was very quick to react. One day he lost money on the street, Gan Guoyang must have picked up the fastest and most.

He immediately turned around and rushed towards the basket. Paxson saw Gan Guoyang rushing over and threw the ball towards Gan Guoyang before the Lakers player siege.

The ball was passed very low, but Gan Guoyang only bent down and grabbed the ball in his hand with one hand.

There was only one person standing in front of him, Lambis!

Lanbis wanted to block the gun with fearless spirit and directly pulled Gan Guoyang down, but Gan Guoyang did not give him a chance to sacrifice his life at all. From catching the ball to jumping, he directly swung his arm and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Bee!" The referee's whistle sounded. Lanbis didn't expect that Gan Guoyang would be so fast, and it was too late to stop. Gan Guoyang made a 21.

"Don't-touch-me~(Don't touch me~)" Gan Guoyang said lightly to Lambis after landing, with a profound and majestic look on his face.

The Trail Blazers' bench has long been in a ripple, and Gan Guoyang's dunk is amazing. If the free throw is made, the gap between the two sides can be narrowed to 1 point.

"Relax, relax, relax~" Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line and muttered in his heart for a while.

When the scores are similar, the pressure to stand on the free throw line is quite high, especially Jack Nicholson's yelling behind him.

After a few seconds of procrastination, Gan Guoyang carefully threw the ball towards the basket.

"Bang!" The ball hit the basket's neck and didn't go in.

"Just-like-you, shit! (Just like you, shit!)" Jack Nicholson shouted in the bench seat. He had found a chance to swear Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang obviously focused too much when he was free throw, which caused his muscles to not relax enough, and the arc of the ball he threw was obviously too smooth.

Hearing Nicholson's words, Gan Guoyang really wanted to rush up and pull out all the hair on his head, so that he could only play a monk in the future.

But after the Lakers got the ball, they had already launched a fast attack, and Gan Guoyang rushed back to the backcourt to defend.

The Lakers' fast break engine is naturally the Magician, but the Magician is not the only initiator. In fact, everyone else has excellent passing and finishing abilities.

For example, Jabbar, a long pass that crossed the entire game after winning the rebound is one of his unique skills, not worse than Gan Guoyang's at all, and he is more outstanding in timing.

In the frontcourt, Cooper received this long pass and dribbled the ball and killed the basket!

Paxson has been defending Cooper, and the two of them jumped at the same time at the basket, and Cooper was obviously faster and jumped higher.

But Paxson was stronger, and the two collided in the air.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded again, and both of them fell to the ground.

Paxson made a foul and Cooper would stand on the free throw line.

However, Cooper stood up again, but Paxson seemed to have some problems. He covered his calves with pain on his face.

Paxson had been injured in his calf, which made his performance ups and downs during the game.

His performance in this game was actually very good, but an accident happened at the end of the first half.

"Oh, Paxson, his left calf should have twisted it when it landed. With the help of the team doctor, he went back to the locker room early, hoping that he was fine."

Ramsey covered his forehead and shook his head on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, the first half was about to end and a general was injured.

It seems that whether the Trail Blazers can withstand the second half will be a huge test.
Chapter completed!
