The first victory came quite smoothly. Although the Trail Blazers encountered a counterattack from the Pistons in the second quarter, the loopholes were blocked soon with Gan Guoyang's appearance, and the Pistons had no way to fight Gan Guoyang. Double-teaming in advance for inside players like Gan Guoyang, the traces of illegal defense are too obvious. If one-on-one defense is defending, Bill Lanbir and Rick Mahon have no way to fight Gan Guoyang.

Daly also tried to use Dennis Rodman to entangle Gan Guoyang, which played a role in the regular season, but obviously Gan Guoyang had a way to deal with this in the finals. Rodman was beaten to the dust by Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang did not fight Rodman in a short battle, but took the ball directly and immediately took action. Whether in the inside or at the middle distance, the result was that whether Gan Guoyang entered or not depends on his own touch. There was no difference between Rodman's defense or not.

However, in the fourth quarter, Daly tried to let John Sally guard Gan Guoyang, and the effect was good. However, the overall situation was decided at that time, and the Pistons could no longer make any tricks, so they could only watch the Trail Blazers take away a victory from home.

In this game, the Pistons obviously have insufficient preparations for losing, or Chuck Daly is a little too confident. He believes that with the Pistons' strength, they have a chance until the last moment, because the Pistons' key ball ability is stronger than the Trail Blazers, they have richer experience, and their attack points are more scattered and balanced. Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumas are both big-hearted players, and the Trail Blazers can really rely on at the critical moment. Gan Guoyang's key ball ability is also very strong, but as an inside player, he has a natural flaw, which is that it is difficult to catch the ball.

But Daley still misjudged the ability of Gan Guoyang to take away his opponents in the third quarter. His powerful scoring explosive power, defensive control ability, and the combination of Drexler, Porter, Sabonis and other strong players made the situation unbalanced. Chuck Daley also realized why the Lakers, who were still indisputable in the fight with the Pistons last season, would have lost to the Trail Blazers 1:4 this season. If Riley hadn't played tricks, the result would probably be 4:0. The Trail Blazers' attack power was really terrifying.

As for the Trail Blazers, Adelman was very satisfied with the team's performance. It should be said that when the finals, the Trail Blazers were already in a state of 100%, especially when crossing the Lakers, the players crossed the psychological barrier. After a season of running-in and a season of ups and downs, the Trail Blazers' lineup finally brought the Trail Blazers' lineup to the extreme. The chemical reactions and tacit understanding between the players were all at the best.

However, no one dared to relax. After the first game, early the next morning, all the Trail Blazers players came to the training hall for training early, without anyone relaxing, and Adelman also arrived an hour earlier than usual. In training, he was like a tyrant, yelling at every player who made mistakes, while the yelled players had no complaints.

After the evening training, no one went to the bar or nightclub, and they all went home early to rest and prepared to participate in the second game of tomorrow's finals.

Gan Guoyang also returned home early and did not choose to practice more. After returning home, the first thing he did was to take out the phone book, find a number, pick up the phone and dial a number.

"Hello, I'm Michael Jordan, please say."

"It's me, I'm."

Gan Guoyang called Jordan. Long before the beginning of the division final, the two often spoke on the phone and agreed on the phone to compete in the finals. However, the Bulls, who created the miracle in the first two rounds, finally fell at the foot of the Pistons again. Michael Jordan could only sit at home and watch Gan Guoyang show his might in the finals.

When Jordan heard Gan Guoyang call, he first sarcastically asked Gan Guoyang if he was here to show off to him. Gan Guoyang knew Jordan's thoughts. He knew that Jordan must feel very uncomfortable when he saw him performing well in the finals. Gan Guoyang himself has tasted this kind of taste. He was reimbursed in 1986 and was unbearable to watch TV at home in the Western Conference Finals in 1988.

"Okay Michael, I just want to ask you some questions. When you played against the Pistons, you won the first game and won the third game, but why did you lose three games in a row? Of course, I don't want to laugh at you. I don't have that need. I just want to know where the Pistons are powerful?"

When Gan Guoyang mentioned the Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan was a little angry. They led 2:1, especially in the third game. The Bulls were still more than ten points behind in the fourth quarter, but under Jordan's leadership, the Bulls caught the score little by little, and finally relied on Jordan's key board jump shot in the last moment, and they won the Pistons 99:97.

But when we arrived at the back, the piston seemed to have opened its doors, even taking three cities, without any chance.

"Emotion, I will tell you a key issue, emotions, they are experts in playing emotions. If you fall into the emotional trap they designed, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to do anything. Of course, I'm talking light now, but it's really hard to really endure them in the game... Of course, you played great in the first game and you are not bad, but that's because your teammates are better, and you home fans are so crazy that they suppressed the guys in Detroit."

Jordan's words were all personal experiences. Gan Guoyang has long heard of the Pistons' ability to stir up opponents' emotions and ultimately make the opponent unable to perform at normal levels. However, this is the first time that the two teams met in the playoffs. The Pistons obviously wouldn't be so calculating in the regular season.

Besides, Jordan also said that the madness of home fans and the lack of preparation of the Pistons themselves also made their momentum suppressed by the Trail Blazers. Ranbir, Ma Hong and others tried to disrupt the Trail Blazers' emotions with small actions and malicious fouls, but they did not have a good effect.

"I understand that we won't be provoked so easily. I am a civilized and polite gentleman player." Gan Guoyang said to Jordan with a smile.

"If you are civilized and polite, then Ranbir is a fucking model citizen! Maybe he can still run for president!"

The two chatted on the phone for a long time until Wang Fuxi came over and asked him to go back to his room to take a shower and sleep.

In the second game, the Trail Blazers, who were facing a great enemy, continued to face the Pistons in the Memorial Stadium. The fans were still as crazy as Shaunley's commentator was still so passionate. As soon as he stepped into this stadium, Gan Guoyang and his teammates felt that they had great motivation. Even the All-Star team on the opposite side were confident that they would pull their opponents off.

The progress of the game was exactly the same as the first game. The Pistons tried to suppress the Trail Blazers at the beginning, but their offensive feel was not that good. Gan Guoyang still firmly controlled the backcourt rebounds and became the engine of the Trail Blazers' fast break.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers went crazy again. This time it was Drexler. Joe Dumas could limit Drexler's performance in positional battles, but once he entered a fast attack, Dumas' legs could not keep up with the glider. What's more, Drexler has always been a "first quarter superstar". With the support of Gan Guoyang's backcourt rebound, Drexler scored 14 points in the first quarter, and the Trail Blazers once again led the Pistons with a big score.

So, the Pistons entered the rhythm of "digging holes, filling holes" again, and had the experience of leading the previous game against the Pistons. This time, Adelman continued the strategy of the previous game. Gan Guoyang rested more in the second quarter and came on the bench. He would rather let the Pistons recover some points, and then Gan Guoyang went up again to put pressure on the Pistons.

But this time, Daly began to use Sally and Rodman's two long-handed players to defend Gan Guoyang, which made Gan Guoyang suffer. Gan Guoyang, who is thick and heavy-handed, such as Lan Bill and Ma Hong, is not afraid of it. He is a long-handed spider-man, which is always annoying.

However, Gan Guoyang still adjusted his state in time. He made full use of his strength to get the ball at a deeper position and scored in a more powerful way. The game became more and more intense, but the Trail Blazers maintained a lead of more than 10 points.

After the fierce battle to the fourth quarter, the Pistons launched a final counterattack. They once approached the score to only 3 points, but the three-pointer at Terry Porter and Paxson at critical moment completely ruined the Pistons' hope of turning the tables. The Trail Blazers finally won another goal at home.
