"Good evening everyone, welcome to watch our NBA TV broadcast in prime time tonight. I am your old friend Dick Stockton. Today we bring you the third game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, played in Denver, Colorado, and the Denver Nuggets play against the Portland Trail Blazers at home. Currently, the Nuggets trail the Portland Trail Blazers 0:2 in total score, which is a very bad situation for them. This home game will also determine whether the Nuggets can have the opportunity to continue in the playoffs. If they lose this home game, then I want to say that no team in NBA history can successfully turn the tables behind 0:3. OK, the game is about to begin. Let's turn the camera to the scene. CBS TV reporter Rick Barry will bring you live coverage."

Familiar voice, fluent broadcast, on the evening of May 4, 1985, Dick Stockton began broadcasting another NBA game.

Stockton has been working for CBS Sports TV since 1960, and at the same time he also worked part-time in sports commentary on local TV stations.

By 1978, he worked full-time for CBS TV. He not only commented on NBA games, but also was a commentator for the NFL and MLB. It should be said that he has rich sports knowledge, smooth and smooth commentary, and is also passionate. He is a TV commentator loved by many TV viewers.

This season, he has many games to comment on the Portland Trail Blazers. It should be said that he is very familiar with the Trail Blazers team and the player Gan Guoyang. From his commentary, he can often feel his preference for the Portland Trail Blazers.

But another commentator, the reporter who is currently reporting on the spot, Rick Barry, a famous striker of the Warriors, is different. He doesn't like the Portland Trail Blazers very much - or in other words, there are almost no teams he likes in the NBA, and he always has that bad stinking.

"Hello everyone, I'm Rick Barry. Now I'm in Denver and bring you live reports on the Western Conference semi-finals. We can see that both sides have started to warm up on the court, and the game is about to begin. Judging from the previous two games, this is a round of inexplicable games. In the first game, the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets played against each other. They once led the score but were almost turned over. Finally, they relied on Gan's performance at a critical moment to win the game; and in the second game, the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets played against each other.

The Nuggets took the lead in a big score, but this time the Nuggets did not turn over. I think the current big score cannot truly reflect the strength of the two teams, especially the strength of the Nuggets. In fact, the Nuggets still have a lot of room for play. Now they are at their home court, I believe they will rebound." Barry stood on the side of the Nuggets without hesitation in his pre-match prediction. Although many people call Van dervic the second, for Rick Barry, "I am the number one in the world, who can become the second?"

However, as a former superstar and MVP of the Finals, Barry's words are definitely not made up by empty words. As an experienced basketball player and commentator, he has experienced countless games and watched countless games. He can indeed have a very deep grasp of the trend of a series.

At this point, Trail Blazers head coach Ramsey also had deep concerns. During his conversation with the Trail Blazers last night, he felt that the players seemed to be a little too relaxed.

It is definitely very, very dangerous to play a difficult away game with this mentality, especially the opponents they face are not worse than those of the Trail Blazers in terms of strength.

"The game is about to begin. The Trail Blazers' center No. 11 Gan and the Nuggets' center No. 42 Wien Cooper are already standing in the center circle to prepare to jump the ball. Tonight's referee is John Fanaco, and Hugh Mie Evans. The referee threw the ball into the air, and the game officially began!"

The ball was hanging in the air, and Gan Guoyang jumped high as usual, but this time, his attention seemed not so focused, and Wayne Cooper actually hit the ball first.

Fate Liffe got the ball, the Nuggets' ball rights!

Leaf quickly advanced through the half, and at his home court, Leaf seemed to even dribble.

He dribbled on the right and quickly passed the ball to Calvin Knight who was mentioned on the line. Knight did not pause after receiving the ball and broke directly from the middle.

Knight's breakthrough was so sudden. Kenny Carl felt that he was not prepared much, and the Trail Blazers players felt that the defense had not yet been launched. Knight had already rushed in.

"Knight broke through with the ball, jumped and threw a master in the air! The ball hit the ball into the basket! The Nuggets quickly got the first point of the game." After Knight broke through to the inside, Gan Guoyang quickly made up for defense, but Knight was not afraid and threw a high throw against Gan Guoyang's slap, and the ball hit the ball into the basket.

Knight also had physical contact with Gan Guoyang in the air and fell heavily to the ground. However, Gan Guoyang did not commit a foul. He picked up the ball and immediately returned to the bottom line to serve. At this time, Knight was trying to get up from the ground.

"The Trail Blazers serve quickly and Valentine is pushing quickly. There seems to be no chance. The Trail Blazers begin to reorganize the position attack. Gan, he quickly goes to the low post, Valentine feeds the ball to Gan, Valentine is walking in. Gan does not pass the ball, he is going in... He hooks his left hand! It is blocked by Cooper!"

Gan Guoyang's hook was caught by Cooper!

For any NBA player, you can't help but walk by the river. No matter how many blocks Gan Guoyang gives in the NBA, no matter how difficult his hook is to prevent, there will be times when he is covered, even Jabbar.

For this ball, Gan Guoyang held the ball at the low post on the left, and Valentine took the defense inward. Then Gan Guoyang dribbled inward and made a single, reaching a very deep position, but he used his unskilled turn inside and hooking his left hand.

In the last two games, Gan Guoyang tried to use his left hand hook in the official game for the first time. It can be said that he tasted the sweetness. In this game, he continued to want to use his left hand to hook his hand to get a good start, but he was slapped by Cooper.

"Life got the ball and started to fight back... But the Trail Blazers retreated very quickly, and did not give the Nuggets a chance to counterattack, and they started to play the position. Knight at the bottom line, no chance...Life handed the ball to Cooper who was on the line. Inglish went around from the inside to catch the ball, made a fake move, no shot, and passed it back to Cooper. Cooper jumped! 45 degrees on the left... The ball went in! Cooper hit a 13-foot mid-range shot, and the Nuggets started 4:0."

The Nuggets' offense at the beginning can be said to be very patient. It should be said that the reason why the Nuggets averaged a league-high 120 points per game in the regular season is not just because of their fast offense and defense pace.

Some teams have fast offense and defense pace, but they lose more points than scores. And the Nuggets can score so many points, and the tacit tactical cooperation between the players is absolutely indelible.

If the Trail Blazers and the Lakers have the best quick counterattack in the league because they have the best engines in the league and the best fast break terminators, then the Nuggets have the best team basketball cooperation system in the league.

As you can see from the first two games, one of the major features of the Nuggets is that the ball rarely pauses in the player's hands for more than two seconds, unless there is no tactical opportunity in the end, and you can only rely on the star to play singles.

At other times, basketball is running rapidly in the hands of five Nuggets players. Once it is operated into the hands of a certain player, and the opponent's defense is just a loophole, then the player will shoot.

Previously, Gan Guoyang thought Wayne Cooper would not be able to attack because Cooper almost did not attack independently in the first two games, but he did not expect that Cooper would give him two consecutive moves at the beginning.

It's intolerable!

"Pass the ball to me Dennis." Gan Guoyang said to Valentine when serving. He hadn't said to his teammates for a long time, "Give me the ball."

Valentine nodded to Gan Guoyang, and he also felt that he should teach Wien Cooper a lesson in the inside, although the two were once teammates.

"The Trail Blazers, they opened up the space and left Gan's vacant position on the right. Valentine hung the ball to Gan, and Leaf stepped forward to attack... No, he still went to defend Valentine. Gan was preparing to play Cooper, Gan, dribble, and turned around inside, but Knight, who was on the line, stepped up the defense. He and Cooper clamped Gan in the middle, and Gan had no room for movement."

Gan Guoyang took the ball on the right side of his familiarity, ready to turn inward and hook directly, but he had just turned halfway, and Knight, who was already on the line, immediately put his body in a straight line.

Knight didn't reach out and kept the ball. He simply raised his hand and blocked Gan Guoyang's turn around line, which immediately blocked Gan Guoyang's dilemma.

"Beep!" This was the referee's whistle. Gan Guoyang turned his head and found that the referee's hand was pointing at him, and both hands were spinning like small flywheels.

"Gan walks... Let's take a look at the slow motion replay... Oh, after being pinched, he moved his central axis foot while turning." In the playback of CBS TV, Gan Guoyang was about to turn like another direction after being pinched, but his leg was stuck by Wien Cooper, so the central axis foot moved involuntarily and was caught by the sharp-eyed referee.

Gan Guoyang had no choice but to shake his head and throw the ball to the referee, running back to the half to defend.

"Hurry up and start with defense! Don't relax! I don't want to see you dejected! The game has just begun!" Ramsey shouted loudly from the sidelines, he already felt that the morale of the team was not very right.

"The Nuggets served a sideline ball, and Leaf continued to control the Nuggets' offense. This season he completed his duties as a point guard very well, making the Nuggets' offense more smooth... Pick and roll, Leaf broke through, and a large-scale transfer. The ball was passed to England on the right. England took a jump shot and made a three-pointer! The ball entered!"

One three-pointer! The Nuggets fell into jubilation at home, and they suddenly made the Trail Blazers a little confused, with a 7:0 climax.

"Beep! Trail Blazers paused."
Chapter completed!
