"Tonight, the Golden State Warriors will face the challenge of Portland Trail Blazers in Oakland. This game will be held at 6 pm, and there are more than ten minutes left before the game begins. I am glad that we invited James Brown as the commentator of this game today. I am CBS commentator Dick Stockton, welcome to watch this game."

The Trail Blazers arrived at the Auckland Stadium the day after arriving in Auckland to prepare for the third game of the consecutive away tour.

CBS broadcast the game, but the game time is at 6 pm, not a prime time, so many viewers may not be able to see the first half of the game.

There is no way, the Golden State Warriors performed as bad as ever this season. At the beginning of the season, they used a four-game losing streak to sink to the end of the ranking list.

They lost the No. 1 pick they won in 1980 in the summer, Joe Barry Carroll, who ran to Italy to hunt for gold.

Last season they also traded the team's stable shooting guard, Ward Flynn, who is now on another bad team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Warriors' current number one star is their small forward Povis Sauter, the rookie who was selected in 1978, gradually grew into a stable scorer. He has a deadly mid-range jump shot and great rebounding ability.

In the 1985 season, he reached the peak of his career, but the Golden State Warriors ranked last in the West after 25 games, and their record in the entire league was only better than the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers.

"Improve it, this is a team full of old, weak, sick and disabled, especially his inside line. Let's take a look. Mickey Johnson, a rookie from 1974 to 1975, won the championship that year, but Mickey was in Chicago. His peak was in Indiana, where he could get 198 data. And after coming to the Warriors, his form continued to decline. His thin body looked like corn stalks in Indiana's cornfield." The commentator of CBS has always been ruthless in his evaluation of the team.

"Larry Smith, a 6-foot-8 power forward, he is very, very strong, but his height really makes people worry about whether he can see the basket in the inside. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers' inside height is not tall - they finally met someone shorter than them today!" The Trail Blazers have been suffering from the fact that the inside is too short, and the Warriors they met tonight are shorter than them.

"Jerome Whitehead, a well-behaved 6-foot-10 center, has been injured in his waist and his athletic ability is constantly declining. His offensive ability is still there and his footsteps are great, but his defense is like air. Can you imagine a starting center, who averages less than half of the blocks per game?"

"For the Warriors, the one who hurt them the most this season was Joe Barry Carroll's departure. Fortunately, he did not go to other NBA teams, but went to Italy. Because of salary issues, he went to Europe to make gold." The Warriors' financial situation has always been not very good, and the NBA players' salaries were not as high as they did later, so no. 1 picks like Joe Barry Carroll went to other leagues to make money.

"So isn't there any suspense in this battle between the beginning and the end? The performance of the Trail Blazers this season is eye-catching. No one could have thought they would play such a good offense, although they seemed to have encountered some trouble in the last two games."

"They did have trouble. Their offense had a lot of problems in the first two games, and the players were not in good shape. I think the Trail Blazers must solve the problem of reasonable distribution of offensive points. They have too many offensive points choices, Sampson, Van derwich, Gan, Paxson, and Drexler Ramsey on the bench. I want to put them together and exert their maximum power, but I think sometimes this method is counterproductive. If talent can kill the opponent, then use your talent." James Brown also did a lot of preparation before being commented, and he also has some opinions on the problems currently encountered by the Trail Blazers.

"I believe this should be a wonderful game. There are no absolute strong teams in the NBA, nor are there completely weak teams, especially in the regular season, everything is possible. You should know that at the beginning of the season, the Warriors had defeated the Lakers, which was at the Oakland Stadium."

"Yes, I believe the Trail Blazers won't take it lightly. They have lost two consecutive times. If they lose three consecutive times, they will be able to hand over the top position."

The Trail Blazers' top position is not firm now, and the Nuggets are chasing behind them. More importantly, the Lakers, who were unfavorable to the start of the game, have returned to normal. After defeating the Trail Blazers last time, the Lakers then made a seven-game winning streak.

Currently, the Lakers rank second in the Pacific with a record of 17 wins and 10 losses, with only two win differences with the Trail Blazers.

After experiencing two consecutive losses, the atmosphere in the team did not have any problems, but some conditions did occur.

Van derwich's back injury was still not resolved. After returning to Portland, Gan Guoyang asked Shui Miao to conduct examinations and treatments for Van derwich. Van derwich felt that the effect was very good, but the continuous away game and intensive games left him unable to get a rest time.

No matter how high Shui Miao's medical skills are, he cannot recover from Vanderwich in this situation. He must wait until the end of the season before he can undergo a complete treatment and cultivation.

Van dervic's back injury in these away games affected his performance. Although his scoring was not a problem, the defensive gap caused great trouble to the Trail Blazers.

Drexler is still struggling on the bench and wants to gain more playing time, but his game condition has been very average recently. The more he does this, the less he won the favor of Ramsey.

Sampson and Paxson both had injuries of varying degrees. Although they were all minor injuries, it was this minor injury that reduced their game status on the court.

Only Gan Guoyang, he looks in good shape, but he seems to have no strong offensive desire at the beginning of the season, but he is obsessed with passing, pick-and-roll, and rebounds.

Now, Gan Guoyang is standing in the familiar Auckland Stadium, waiting for the start of the game.

Gan Guoyang still remembers the scene when he first came here to watch the preseason. At this time, he finally stood in the center of the stadium - but he was an opponent as the Warriors.

Gan Guoyang should have seen the most games in the Warriors, but he has never been a fan of the Warriors. After all, this team is too bad.

So, he looked at the Warriors player wearing yellow jerseys opposite him and had almost no one to know.

The only thing he is familiar with is the Warriors' No. 45, Puvis Sauter. When Gan Guoyang watched the game, he was the sixth man of the Warriors. At that time, Sauter was able to average 22 points per game.

His extremely beautiful and powerful shooting posture left a deep impression on Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang also thought that one day his jump shot would be as beautiful and accurate as Shaote.

But now, his middle distance is still in seclusion and hard work, and I don’t know when he will be able to practice to come out of the mountain.

Sauter has become the leading player of the Warriors and a strong firepower point in the small forward position. His mid-range jump shot is becoming more and more proficient, which is another big challenge for the Trail Blazers who have weak defense in the backcourt.

The game began soon, and Gan Guoyang, as a Chinese star who walked out of San Francisco Chinatown, was treated as a superstar in Oakland.

He had just won the ball in the jump ball, and a huge cheer broke out on the sidelines, as if this was the home court of the Trail Blazers.

"There are many Chinese fans at the scene. Do you know whether they are here to cheer for the Warriors or cheer for Gan... The Trail Blazers took the lead in getting the ball. The game officially started, Valentine controlled the ball... Van dervich was 45 degrees on the right, and after covering, he received the ball and jumped... The ball did not go in, but Gan got the offensive rebound!... The basket dunk scored with his hands, his strength was amazing."

In the first goal, Gan Guoyang went straight to the basket after covering Van derwich. Van derwich did not make a shot, but the basketball collapsed to his side.

Warriors center Whitehead was only 220 pounds and power forward Mickey Johnson was only 190 pounds. The two failed to withstand Gan Guoyang, who was like a bulldozer, and he took off the frontcourt board.

"If the Warriors want to defeat the Trail Blazers, I think they must play a strong enough offense. In terms of defense, the Warriors' equipment cannot resist the Trail Blazers. The Warriors won the offense very beautifully. They have very good offensive talent on the outside."

After the opening, the Trail Blazers were still in normal form. After trying several mid-range shots, the shooting rate was not high; several offensive and defensive conversions were not good at quick offensive play, it was very messy, and many mistakes were made.

However, Gan Guoyang was in good shape, grabbing three frontcourt rebounds, and they all turned into scoring. The Warriors' two thin inside players were obviously unable to withstand Gan Guoyang, who had a power bug.

Gan Guoyang also played very happily in the first quarter because this was the first time he encountered the opponent's inside line who was as short as himself.

After entering the NBA, Gan Guoyang already felt that his height of 6-foot-10 was not enough, and the centers of the teams opposite were all 6-foot-11 and 7-foot-sized.

Whenever facing those superior guys, Gan Guoyang always has to use his own strength and footsteps to deal with the other party.

The Warriors' weak inside line gave Gan Guoyang a good space to play. According to the Trail Blazers' conventional thinking, the inside line does not grab the frontcourt rebounds in the regular time, but instead retreats with all their might to prevent the opponent from hitting a counterattack.

But in this game, Gan Guoyang keenly realized that his team's feel was not good, and the Warriors' backcourt rebound protection was also average, so he began to contribute to the team by rushing forward rebounds.

"Gan's continuous frontcourt rebounds relieved the scoring pressure for the Trail Blazers. If it weren't for Gan's frontcourt board, the Trail Blazers' offense would have been worse. Today, their feel was really bad. They couldn't make the outside shot and couldn't open the inside. On the contrary, the Warriors' offense was very efficient, and the Trail Blazers' weak points of poor outside defense were greatly exposed."

"Yes, the defensive loopholes in the forward guard position have become a big problem for them... Oh, they replaced Drexler and hoped to use him to improve the team's offense and defense."

The Trail Blazers continued their bad state in the last two games. They lacked passion in the scene, did not handle the details well, and made some inexplicable mistakes.

Ramsey was extremely depressed about this. With rich coaching experience, he knew that the players' states would fluctuate, with climaxes and troughs, but he did not expect that so many players would suddenly enter a low period.

"Speed, where has our speed gone! We must destroy our opponents in the high-speed rhythm, rather than being dragged to death by the opponent like now! Everyone must focus and focus on every ball! In the case of poor hand feel, strengthen breakthroughs and use other methods to solve the problems we are facing now!" Ramsey called a timeout and shouted at the players in his hoarse voice, hoping to boost the morale of the team.

But the problem with the Trail Blazers is not morale, but the team has indeed reached a low point in their state, and injuries and fatigue on the road trip make them look sleepy.

During the long season, the team will have such problems every once in a while. If it is a weak team, it may be a desperate wave of losing streak. (In fact, in real history, the Trail Blazers suffered a seven-game losing streak, with 11 games and 10 losses.)

And those strong teams will come up with various adjustments to help the team get out of difficult periods, and they can even win in difficult periods - because they are too strong.

"The Trail Blazers encountered some trouble. In the first quarter, they made too many mistakes, had low shooting percentage, and lacked enthusiasm in defense. The Warriors played efficient offense, and their mid-range shooting was daunting, but even so, the Trail Blazers were only 3 points behind 24:27. Gan grabbed 7 rebounds in a single quarter amid the cheers of local fans, including 5 of the frontcourt rebounds, scoring 12 points, accounting for half of the team's score."

At the end of the first quarter, Gan Guoyang was in amazing condition on the offensive end. He felt that the ball seemed to be filled with iron blocks, and he had magnets on his hand, which could always suck the ball over.

He had almost no singles, but just relied on a second offense to score points, and the Warriors' inside line had no choice but to play him.

"I think the Warriors will definitely strengthen their position against Gan in the second quarter. We cannot easily get a second offensive opportunity in this way, which will greatly damage the team's defensive enthusiasm."

"Yes, if you struggle to defend for a long time, your opponent hastily made a move but fails to make a rebound, but the opponent gets it and then makes it easy to score, it's really frustrating."

But Gan Guoyang did not intend to not frustrate the Warriors in the second quarter.

Before the second quarter began, Ramsey told Gan Guoyang to "fight as in the first quarter". It seemed that the old man had no choice but to let Gan Guoyang go and fight.

Drexler's impact after coming on the court was not effective. He was defensively defended by the Warriors' strong shooting guard Leicester Connor, and was forced to miss the mid-range shot several times.
