"The Blazers played very perfectly in the first quarter. Every player they started maintaining a good competitive state. They played smooth attacks and each person was an offensive point, which made the Philadelphia 76ers unable to concentrate their defensive forces against the Blazers; and their defense was also very targeted. The outside gave good support and help from the inside, and they learned the lessons from the Spectrum Arena in the last game, protected the backcourt rebounds well, and did not give the 76ers too many second offensive opportunities. All of this is the main factor that the Blazers were able to lead the 76ers by 10 points in the first quarter."

"Yes, what's wrong with the 76ers? They were able to fight the Trail Blazers at the beginning of the first quarter, but seemed to struggle a little in the second half, which also led to the widening of the score gap."

"There were some problems with the 76ers' offense. Their players were trapped in a single fight. Obviously, facing the effective defense of the Trail Blazers, their offense was too monotonous and too low efficiency. I think Coach Cningham should not have expected that the Trail Blazers' defense would be so resilient. If in 1983, the 76ers could easily tear apart this lack of strength, but now we see that the 76ers' several strong attacks were a bit weak."

After the first quarter, the CBS commentator began to analyze the performance of the Trail Blazers and the 76ers in the first quarter. The Trail Blazers temporarily led the 76ers by 10 points with 35:25.

The Trail Blazers performed very well in the first quarter, with a shooting percentage of up to 62% overshadowing the 76ers' 51% shooting percentage. They only lost one frontcourt rebound and did not give Moses Malone and Barkley more opportunities.

After Gan Guoyang sent a foul in the first ten seconds, he controlled his foul numbers well in the remaining time and tried his best to curb Moses Malone on the defensive end, allowing Malone to make only 1 of 4 shots, plus a free throw to score a total of 5 points.

Gan Guoyang only made three shots but made all of them, scoring 6 points with a 100% shooting rate, and snatched 6 rebounds at the same time, including 5 backcourt rebounds and one frontcourt rebound.

At the end of the first quarter, Gan Guoyang was replaced by Kenny Carl, and the Gan Guoyang Drexler combination used against the Rockets did not continue to appear in this game.

However, this did not affect the performance of the Trail Blazers' second lineup. Instead, they relied on a quick counterattack to score consecutively to hit the 76ers, locking the gap between the two sides to 10 points.

"The second quarter is about to start, and Dr. J is back on the court, but Moses Malone is still on the court. I think at the beginning of the second quarter, Dr. J must strengthen his offense to drive the whole team. Moses Malone's strong attack was not very good in the first quarter."

The Trail Blazers took the lead, and at this time, Cort, Drexler, Kenny Carl, Mitchell Sampson and Jerome Cauchy formed the lineup on the court.

Ramsey also realized that 8-man rotation is a great harm to the health of players, so in the absence of new deals, he also tapped potential within the team and developed the ninth regular rotation player.

As a second round rookie, Cauchy used his efforts and positive attitude, plus his internal and external attributes to gradually occupying his position as the ninth player in the team.

When Van derwich ended, he was a small forward in the field, as the Trail Blazers, and came to play against Dr. J. Irving.

"The Trail Blazers serve...Corte was hit by 76ers! The ball was almost lost, but fortunately Drexler stepped forward to take the lead and stabilized the situation."

As soon as the second quarter started, the 76ers' defensive strength suddenly increased. If Cort hadn't been careful, his ball would have been cut off by Lyon Wood.

After Drexler dribbled the ball for half, he handed the ball back to Corte, who watched the attack 45 degrees on the right.

At this time, he felt that the 76ers' defense was significantly enhanced, and the Trail Blazers were the second team, so it was almost difficult for him to find a good offensive opportunity to pass the ball directly.

Mitchell Sampson asked for the ball at the low post on the right, but Barkley actively walked around and made Cort dare not easily lob the ball.

Drexler doesn't have as good as Paxson's ability to run without the ball. Of course, it's useless for him to have it because he can't make a shot.

But Drexler is very capable of solving problems on the court. When he saw that he couldn't open the scene, he immediately ran to the top of the arc to receive the ball. Seeing this, Cort handed the ball to Drexler.

Drexler took the ball and then dribbled the ball with his left hand and quickly broke through and cut inside from the left side. Irving, who was originally defending Cauchy at the bottom corner, immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense.

Drexler looked like he rushed in with his head down, but his vision was very good. He immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner and passed the ball to Cauchy.

If it were Van derwich, he would have scored 80% of the goal, but this is Jerome Cauchy, and his shooting skills have not been developed yet.

One step inside the three-point line, the 20-foot distance was still a little far for him, but he did not choose to break through because this opportunity was really good.

"Causey, a 20-foot mid-range shot! The ball hit the front basket and failed to make it. Barkley got the rebound!"

Cauchy's goal was pretty good, but the accuracy was obviously a little worse, and it deviated a little far away. Barkley also easily took off the backcourt rebound. The fat man was not tall, but his arms were very long and his butt was big, and his control range was really not small.

Barkley didn't hand it over to Wood when he got the ball, but twisted his butt and started dribbling through the half. The Trail Blazers' players did not press on, but quickly returned to the backcourt to defend.

"What do you want to do?" Gan Guoyang, sitting on the bench, looked at Barkley's butt dribbling position and wanted to laugh. In fact, Barkley didn't want to stick his butt out, but his butt was too big. In addition, the players were wearing tight shorts at that time, so they looked like they were walking with their butt sticking out.

Barkley had just passed the half-time dribble, and was still four or five meters away from the three-point line. Suddenly, he pushed the ball forward with both hands.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and the basketball just flew straight to the basket.

But the Trail Blazers players immediately reacted. The 76ers had Dr. J. Irving, which was an aerial relay!

Sure enough, the ball was heading towards Irving on the right. When Irving saw the basketball suddenly flying, he jumped up after two steps, preparing to receive the ball in the air and dunk it directly into the basket.

But Jerome Cauchy is not going to let Irving perform an air relay in the Memorial Stadium. He followed Irving and jumped with him and hit Irving in the air, trying to squeeze Irving's sports space.

If it were Irving in 1977, he would fly up and get the ball and dunk directly when he pressed Cauchy. But now he is 35 years old. Although he can still fly and dunk well, time is unforgiving. He still has a disadvantage in confronting a freshman who is just healthy and strong like Cauchy.

Neither of them could touch the ball, and the referee's whistle didn't sound, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline, the ball outside the boundary, and the Blazers' ball rights.

"Barkley's ball...he has a good idea, but Dr. J is no longer the same Dr. J as he used to be." Hamilton also said with emotion.

The fans at the scene also started to laugh, and Gan Guoyang, who was sitting on the bench, followed by a clamor and shouted at Barkley: "We are playing basketball, we are not fat guys in rugby!"

When Barkley heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to rush to the Trail Blazers' bench to fight with Gan Guoyang, but he still held it back.

Because Irving walked up to him and comforted him softly, "It should be a good ball, but I didn't catch it well, you did a great job."

After hearing what Irving said, Barkley quickly calmed down and devoted himself to the game again.

Irving is such a peaceful and general-oriented leader. Except for Larry Bird, few people can make him angry and lose his composure.

The Sixers are back on defense, and their strength is increasing, which makes the Trail Blazers' perimeter conduction ball no longer as smooth as the first quarter.

In this case, Colt chose to pass the ball to Mitchell Sampson and let Sampson solve the problem.

Sampson got the ball from the low post on the left, with his back to the 76ers substitute center Clermont Johnson, shook his shoulder and avoided Johnson's defense, then turned over and jumped.

If no one helps defend, this ball will be sure to win for Sampson, but the fat little Barkley suddenly popped out from behind Johnson, jumped high, and stretched out his long arm to squirt Sampson.

Of course it was not that easy to think of Gasampson. Sampson used a backward to avoid Barkley's block, but the force of the ball was obviously smaller. The basketball hit the basket and bounced it again, but it still didn't enter.

Cauchy got under the basket and wanted to compete for this frontcourt rebound. His speed was obviously faster than Irving and occupied a more favorable position.

But Irving was experienced. He stood behind Cauchy and looked at the balls bounced around the basket while gently pinning Cauchy's back with his right hand.

Of course, the referee saw Irving's small move, but he didn't blow the ball that Cauchy interfered with Irving's ball just now, so he turned a blind eye to this small move.

Moreover, Cauchy has no experience. If he is an experienced old fry, he will feel someone pushing him behind his back and will definitely kick himself out first to take a foul.

Cauchy honestly did nothing, but felt his body unbalanced for a moment, and then he watched Irving take off the backcourt rebound.

"Irving got the rebound, the 76ers launched a fast break, he passed the ball to Wood, Chicks quickly advanced to the near three-second zone, and passed the ball to Irving who followed from behind. Irving stepped to the basket and dunked with one arm! A beautiful fast break, a beautiful dunk, just like the first time we watched his game in the ABA field in 1971!"

Although Irving is a player of the visiting team, his dunk is really wonderful. He inserted it from the back and cuts directly, grabbed the ball with his right hand, spread his left arm, and cuts with one hand. The speed is so fast that no one from the Trail Blazers players stepped forward to block it. The beauty of the movements made the whole audience cheer.

"Portland fans are cheering for Irving's dunk. As long as it is not in the playoffs, away fans cheering for Irving's dunk happens every year."

"That's right, because he's performing such a wonderful performance every year and every game."

Gan Guoyang's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate when he looked at Irving's thunderous buckle with one-handed buckle. The last time he had this experience was when he was playing against the Lakers. When he saw Magic Johnson pass all kinds of incredible passes.

"This is the fucking superstar." Gan Guoyang thought to himself that he didn't know when he could win the cheers of fans like this on the away game.

But soon, as the home team, the Trail Blazers hit a goal back with 76ers, Drexler.

Seeing that the 76ers' blockade in the outside line was strengthened and they wanted to cut off the Blazers' internal and external connections, Kenny Carl and Sampson both pulled to the outside line, leaving the inside line to Drexler.

Drexler competed with Andrew Tony at the low post. Drexler's physical fitness was obviously better. He squeezed away Andrew Tony, and Colt seized this opportunity and hanged the ball to the inside.

After receiving the ball, Drexler turned around and threw Tony away, pulled out one hand and fucked the basket!

"Drexler dunk with one hand! He smashed the ball into the basket like a center!"

"Ah! Ah!" Drexler roared loudly after scoring the goal, hitting back at Irving's dunk. The cheers of the audience reached a new climax. Obviously, at the beginning of the second quarter, the confrontation between the two sides began to become more intense.

Gan Guoyang couldn't sit still on the court now, stood up and waved his towel hard and applauded Drexler's goal, and he couldn't wait to play again.

But the counterattack of the 76ers was not over yet. Barkley got the ball from the low post on the right. Facing Kenny Karl, who had rich defensive experience, he was not afraid and began to arch in with his big butt sticking out.

Carl defended well, and no matter how he blew Barkley, he just didn't give Barkley a good phone call.

Barkley could only pass the ball back to Wood, and Wood then hang the ball to Barkley. This time, Barkley did not procrastinate anymore, but directly pulled up and jumped up.

"Bang!" The ball hit the basket without making any attempt. At this time, Barkley's shooting level had not yet reached a great success. After continuous confrontations, his shooting posture was a little distorted.

The Trail Blazers are still crowded with a bunch of people under the basket. The Trail Blazers swear to protect their backcourt rebounds to the death, while the 76ers like to grab frontcourt rebounds very much.

As a result, the ball fell down, and several people under the basket touched everything, but they didn't grab it. Instead, the ball was bumped a few times and fell to Irving's hand standing outside.

Irving did not hesitate after getting the ball, and rushed straight to the basket.

Sampson and Cauchy, who did not get rebounds at the basket, both jumped up and blocked, but they had no chance.

Irving grabbed the ball with one hand in the air with his left hand. He twisted his whole body and put his left hand, which he had raised high, and then escaped from Sampson, and then picked up the basket with a low hand.

"Bang!" The ball hit the board and entered the basket!

The scene turned into a sea of ​​joy, making it difficult to tell who the home court was.

"This is Irving's charm! No one can resist!"
Chapter completed!
