Paxson's unexpected outbreak puts the Nuggets in a bigger dilemma.

Before Game 6, the Nuggets were full of confidence, believing that they would win four games in a row, and some were even ready to compete with the Lakers for a championship spot.

However, the Blazers' strong rebound caught the Nuggets off guard, especially the changes in Gan Guoyang's offensive end in the first quarter, which made the Nuggets' defense extremely uncomfortable. Parks' eight shots made it even worse.

"What both sides compete for in the playoffs is change. I originally thought that the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets had become unchanged to this extent, but I didn't expect that the Trail Blazers made major adjustments on both sides of the offense and defense. In comparison, the Nuggets lacked changes. They are still using strategies that have been tried and tested in the first five games, but in this game, they were greatly hindered." Frank Greber analyzed the performance of both sides during the break.

At the end of the midfield, the scores of both sides had become 67:39, and the score gap between the two sides widened to 28 points, close to a huge gap of 30 points.

"The Nuggets underestimate the opponent too much. They think they can defeat the Trail Blazers by relying on the routines of the previous few games, but they didn't expect that the Trail Blazers have a right hand. And the key is that the Trail Blazers players are in excellent condition in this game, performing very positively on the court, with high concentration on the defensive end, and feel hot on the offensive end; while the Nuggets, who lack response, are getting more and more disgusting as they play. I don't know if they can regain their vitality at home after the adjustment of the midfield."

Although James Brown doesn't understand the ball very well and doesn't understand the changes in tactics between the two sides, he can also see that the state of both sides is not at one side level.

At this time, in the Trail Blazers' locker room, all the Trail Blazers players seemed very excited, and the big score in the first half made them full of confidence in the whole game.

"Okay, don't be too careless. We can play like this in the first half with luck. We can't expect the Nuggets to be so in a bad state in the second half. The third quarter will be very critical. If we can survive the third quarter and still maintain a lead of more than 20 points in the fourth quarter, then we have a great chance." Ramsey poured some cold water on the players at the right time, which is also his job.

"Just hand the ball to Paxson! Sir every shot! Hahaha..." Kenny Carl said loudly.

Everyone laughed after hearing Carl's words. Paxson did perform well in the first half, making eight shots. At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, it was his continuous scores that suddenly opened the scores on both sides, which also laid the tone for the first half.

"If I pass the ball to me, I'm afraid my fingers will not be enough." Parkson responded after hearing Carl's words. Eight out of eight had already used his eight fingers. If I put in a few more, two hands would definitely not be enough.

After Paxson said that, his teammates laughed again, and the dullness in the team's locker room was wiped out.

"Hey Gan, why did you suddenly make mid-range shots? I was shocked when I watched you shoot on the bench. Of course, I was even more shocked after the ball entered... Have you been holding it in for a whole season and started to make mid-range shots until today?" Mitchell Sampson shifted the topic to Gan Guoyang.

"Yes, I expected that we would be in trouble in this series, so I have always retained my CET-shot skills, just to catch the Nuggets off guard at such a critical moment." Gan Guoyang also joked with the situation.

In fact, before the game started, Gan Guoyang decided to try to use his mid-range shot in this game.

Since entering the league, Gan Guoyang has never stopped training to restore his mid-range shooting ability. After he won the first game with Van der Vicki in the shooting competition, his mid-range shooting in training has become better and better, which can be seen from his free throw shooting percentage in the game.

However, he rarely tries to shoot mid-range in formal games because there is neither tactical arrangement nor the need for mid-range shots. Therefore, Gan Guoyang always has a skeptical attitude towards the practicality of his shooting.

However, the series against the Nuggets has reached this point. Gan Guoyang is becoming more and more aware that his flaw in not shooting mid-range is getting bigger and bigger. In the last few games, the Nuggets have developed a defensive strategy against Gan Guoyang.

Interfere with the ball, resolutely double-teaming, and hinder Gan from entering the basket. Gan doesn't care about this three-second zone. These measures are strictly implemented by the Nuggets. Although a large number of double-teaming will inevitably give the Trail Blazers many shooting opportunities on the outside, the overall profit is still better than those who do not double-teaming.

However, when Gan Guoyang was able to shoot mid-range shots from the outside, everything became different. The space in the inside was completely opened, the Trail Blazers had more opportunities for breakthroughs on the outside, and the Nuggets' defense difficulty increased greatly.

"Gan, I think you will not have so many open mid-range shots in the second half, and the shooting is very dependent on the feel. I still need you and Sampson to cause damage to the Nuggets in the interior, so that we can stabilize the situation in the third quarter." Ramsey once again gave Gan Guoyang a vaccination.

Gan Guoyang nodded after hearing Ramsey's words. He also knew that the Nuggets would definitely further strengthen their defense in the second half. In fact, after Issel played in the second quarter, it would be difficult for Gan Guoyang to play a role in the middle distance.

Later, Ramsey made arrangements and arrangements for the team's tactics, requiring the team to improve their shooting percentage during offense, relax their defense appropriately, retain their physical strength, and the most important thing is to maintain the advantages established in the first half.

Twenty minutes passed quickly. For the Nuggets fans on the scene, most of them were quite anxious, but everyone was still looking forward to the miracle of the second half of the city.

"Welcome back to the scene. The Nuggets' home court may be one of the best home courts in the league, but now the Nuggets fans must suffer. Their team is 28 points behind at home. If they lose this game, the Nuggets will go to Portland to compete in the seventh game with the Trail Blazers, which is undoubtedly very bad for the Nuggets."

Greber was right, dragging back to Portland to play the seventh game, and when the Trail Blazers won the sixth game, the Nuggets' situation was very dangerous.

"That's right, but the Nuggets' attack power is not enough. Let's see if the Nuggets can show some momentum in the second half that is different from the first half. Their attack in the first half was really bad. 39 points, which is simply their score in the quarter. It's hard to imagine that this is the game played by the team with the highest average score in the league."

Indeed, the Nuggets' offense in the first half was awful. Firstly, the Trail Blazers' strong outside press in the first half led to a large number of mistakes and poor position attacks; secondly, the Nuggets' touch finally fell into a cold trough after three games of hot play.

"Okay, the second half of the game begins, and the Nuggets serve first, and the first offense will be very important. If the Nuggets cannot turn the momentum at the beginning of the third quarter, then the time left for them will be less and less. Inglish... received a pass from Leaf, turned over and jumped, and the ball went in! A good start."

In the Nuggets' first offense, after receiving the ball at 45 degrees on the right, Inglish dribbled over and jumped into the ball, and the ball hit the basket. This goal also made the Nuggets show a sign of recovery.

On the Trail Blazers, they continued the offensive mode in the first half, using the pick-and-roll of Drexler and Gan Guoyang as the tactical core. After 9 games in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers' new starting lineup, the cooperation between the two of them has proved to be the best tactical engine.

"Drexler played pick-and-roll with Gan again. Gan covered and cut inward. Drexler hit the ground and passed the ball. Gan received the ball and made a layup! The ball rolled out... but Gan took off again and made a tip-in."

After Gan Guoyang showed his ability to shoot in the first half, Wayne Cooper obviously hesitated a lot when defending Gan Guoyang, and his reaction was naturally slowed down by half a beat, so he gave Gan Guoyang the opportunity to cut inside.

However, the Nuggets' feel is indeed recovering, and the Trail Blazers' defense cannot be as strong and high pressure as in the first half. With Dunn's successful layup in the empty cut, the Nuggets have scored six points in a row in the second half, while the Trail Blazers only relied on Gan Guoyang to score two points.

"45:69, the score difference has been smaller, and the Nuggets seem to see hope. I don't know if the Trail Blazers should be suspended to ease the situation."

But Ramsey didn't call a timeout. Perhaps he felt that the 24-point gap was still very stable.

"Run and run! Don't relax too much, be happy! Leave it outside!" Valentine held the ball and directed loudly outside the three-point line. After the last attack failed, Drexler handed over the attack power to Valentine.

After all, Valentine is experienced and now she needs to rely on him to stabilize the situation.

Hearing Valentine's command, Gan Guoyang immediately raised it up and left a larger space for the inside. At this time, Cooper did not dare to let Gan Guoyang wander outside alone, and immediately followed him out.

Valentine seized this opportunity, quickly broke inward with the ball, and circled a large circle from the left to rush straight to the basket.

When Gan Guoyang saw Valentine rushing inward to the basket, he immediately followed up and almost broke through to Valentine behind the basket. Seeing that Gan Guoyang had already followed, he immediately passed the ball to the ground and passed the ball to Gan Guoyang's hand.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle rang, and Cooper raised his hand and he fouled when Gan Guoyang caught the ball and made a layup.

"Beautiful job!" Valentine stepped forward and slapped Gan Guoyang. The two of them had already practiced countless times in training.

"Gan stood on the free throw line, the first free throw... the ball went in, the second free throw... he scored very quickly. The young man is just anxious."

Unlike some people who like to delay time on the free throw line, Gan Guoyang wished he could pick up the ball without the referee's hand and punish him continuously.

After two free throws, the score difference was widened a little further.

The Nuggets did not give up hope. Calvin Knight made a breakthrough in the middle and made a forced layup. At 47:71, the Nuggets continued to increase their points, and they seemed to be trying to get all the few points they scored in the first half.

Ramsey has already stood up from the bench. It seems that he wants a timeout. Seeing the Nuggets scored eight points in a row, this is not a good sign.

But soon, Ramsey sat down again.

"Gan asked for the ball at the low post, Valentine hung the ball to Gan. Gan's position of the ball was not very good. He observed that the Nuggets did not double-team... Gan dribbled backwards, he tried left and right, turned inside, hooked! The ball entered! A 12-foot hook."
Chapter completed!
