"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded.

"Wilks' blocking foul, Wilks' performance on both offense and defense today was not satisfactory." Zick Hearn said with some regret as Wilks delayed the blocking foul while holding the ball in the first half.

Zeke Hearn once called Wilkes' shooting "20-foot layup" and nicknamed him "Silk" to praise his soft and silky shooting feel.

This hero who won the Lakers twice, a veteran of ten years, finally couldn't resist the invasion of time. His steps on the court were getting heavier and heavier, and it took him longer and longer to get into the state.

Pat Riley on the sidelines obviously didn't want to see Wilkes' poor performance on the court again, and replaced Worthy on the court, replaced Wilkes for him to adjust.

"The Lakers made personnel adjustments, Worthy came on the court. The Trail Blazers served, Parkson held the ball, passed the ball... The ball hit Cooper's feet and went out of bounds."

Perhaps because the two sides played too fast and too hard before, the game suddenly slowed down and was broken by fouls and mistakes.

The Trail Blazers re-served, and this time Paxson received the ball. He held the ball from the left and cut directly into the basket from a slant of 45 degrees, and made a beautiful pick-and-roll with Kenny Carl.

After the pick-and-roll, both Lakers players went to double-team Paxson who was walking towards the bottom line. Paxson passed the ball through the ground, and the ball passed between the two Lakers players and passed to Kenny Carl.

Facing Bob McAdu at the basket, Kenny Carl actually jumped and dunked!

"Carl, take off, dunk! The ball didn't go in... It was destroyed by McAdu, but McAdu's foul was made. He had already made two consecutive fouls since the second quarter, all to prevent his opponent's dunk."

Kenny Carl obviously went to the basket with all his strength, so after the ball was destroyed, he lost balance and fell to the ground.

If this ball was a foul by Jabbar, then Jabbar would definitely help Kenny Carl up. Jabbar has always been so friendly, which is one of the reasons why he is so respected in the league.

But McAdu is not a gentleman like Jabbar. He has committed a foul anyway and the referee has whined, so he will pat his butt and leave.

This former regular season MVP has been to various teams for many years, from a hot superstar in the league to a substitute for the giants, but his temperament has not been smoothed out because of these experiences. On the contrary, he is as stubborn and irritable as he was when he was young.

The Trail Blazers player's continuous dunk on his head obviously made him very upset, so he just fought for a foul and sent his opponent to the free throw line, and he couldn't let the Trail Blazers player dunk the ball in.

Kenny Carr stood on the free throw line and hit all two free throws.

"This is the same as if I deducted it. No, you even paid a foul." Carl said to McAdou after scoring the free throw, which of course means that McAdou "paid his wife and his army."

"Shut up the idiot." McAdu is a lazy character player like Rikar, although he is also a character player now.

However, the Lakers immediately responded. Cooper dribbled through half the game and handed the ball to the Magician. Then Cooper went down to the low post on the right to provide a cover for Worthy.

Worthy was originally at the bottom line on the right. After Cooper came over, he relied on Cooper's block to go around and cut into the three-second zone from the outside.

The Magic happened to pass the ball to Worcy who was running, and Worcy directly took the ball and broke into the basket.

"Worcey made a layup...wow! Sampson covered the ball...no, the referee whistled and interfered with the ball."

Worthy made a cricket shot, and the ball was blocked by Sampson after hitting the rebound, and was judged to interfere with the ball, and the ball was counted.

The Trail Blazers really have no choice for such cooperation. They are too fast and too tacit understanding. Sampson has done his best. If he can be faster, the ball will be a good shot.

"Stabilize, we need success rate and hold on to the score!" Ramsey directed.

Now the game has entered a stable period. Both sides can score points and the defensive intensity is not high. It is to compare the ability of both sides to continuously increase points, which requires stable offensive routines and excellent finishers.

The Trail Blazers are not doing badly in this regard. They need to stabilize the score difference, and then try to catch up after all the main players come up.

Corte dribble slowly passed halftime, and Sampson brought it up to support him. He looked at the ball at 20 feet for a long time and found that he had no one in two meters in a radius, and his teammates did not have a good chance to run.

The Lakers are putting a mid-range shot from the inside to prevent the Trail Blazers from attacking the basket, thereby reducing the Trail Blazers' offensive efficiency.

But Sampson is not a vegetarian. When he saw that the Lakers dared to let me go like this? Sampson's mid-range shooting skills are not bad. He directly pulled up from 20 feet and shot.

"Swish!" The ball entered the net with hollow!

Although this ball is not a dunk, it undoubtedly greatly improved the morale of the Trail Blazers. If the Lakers still want to let the Blazers go inside, they have to consider it.

On the Lakers, Cooper is still allowed to take the ball, and let the Magicians catch the ball after halftime. This is also a strategy, because the Magician is in a ball-free state at this time, and you cannot let the Magicians in a ball-free state run around the field, and someone must stare at him.

In this way, the Trail Blazers locked the others and let the Magician attack be cracked in an instant.

However, the Magic did not become the finisher after running without the ball, and the Lakers still hit the ball inside.

McAdu asked for the ball at the low post on the left, and a hand-to-hand battle with Kenny Carr was in a low post.

Kenny Carl knew that McAdou's turnover jump shot was extremely accurate, and once he easily received the ball from such a position, his shooting percentage was very high.

So he tried his best to use Rao to stop McAdu from receiving the ball.

If Gan Guoyang was turned around, Gan Guoyang would have to get back the position even if he died. However, McAdu had a lot of experience. He pretended to work hard to grab the position, but suddenly he ran back and went straight to the basket.

Cooper hung the ball in just right, and McAdou blocked Sampson who came to grab the ball and took it down in the air.

Later, McAdou used another fake move to trick Kenny Carl, who kept up with the rest of the defense, and easily scored a layup.

"Bob~McAdu~" The DJ on the scene shouted out McCadu's name, accompanied by a cheer from the fans.

"This annoying guy, I really want to come on the court to teach him a lesson." Gan Guoyang was already ready to move while sitting off the court. The conflict between him and McAdu began from the training camp in Palm Springs.

But unlike Mitchell Sampson, Sampson is Gan Guoyang's teammate, while McAdu is a real opponent, so he doesn't have to worry about the relationship between the two.

However, there was no problem with the Trail Blazers' offense, and Sampson continued to use his mid-range shot to hit the Lakers.

He was in the same position to support his teammates, but this time he was facing away from the basket, and Paxson tried to use Sampson's cover to get rid of the annoying Cooper.

But Cooper was like a spider with a net, tangling with Paxson, who could only pass the ball to Sampson to make a transition.

After getting the ball, Sampson turned his back and faced the basket, wanting to observe his teammate's position.

But when he turned around, he found that there was no one within two meters in front of him! The Lakers player shrank inside to block the route of the Trail Blazers player's interlude and running.

Sampson made no mistake, and immediately made a jump shot after turning around.

"Swish!" The ball entered again!

"Beautifu! (Beautiful!)" Gan Guoyang couldn't help but jump when he saw Sampson's goal. Although this goal was just an ordinary mid-range shot, there was no doubt that such a goal was a blow to the Lakers' defensive confidence.

"Bee!" Sure enough, Pat Riley called a timeout, and he needed to make some adjustments. Although the two sides were evenly matched at the beginning of the second quarter, this was not something that Riley had satisfied. He thought that the plan to quickly drag the Trail Blazers to death was not realized.

He originally hoped to shrink his defense line and force the Trail Blazers to shoot, then grab the rebound and fight back, but they didn't expect the Trail Blazers to pick up the touch of the second quarter, especially Sampson actually made continuous mid-range shots, which hurt Riley very much.

"It's done well, but the feel is not something worth relying on. We still need tactics and better running. I think they will continue to attack us after the timeout. We must withstand both ends of the offense and defense, and strive to minimize the difference before the end of the second quarter." Ramsey didn't expect to say that he could turn the momentum of the game in one go, but at least the Trail Blazers are recovering now.

At the same time, Ramsey also understands the style of the Lakers. The Lakers are a boxer who can continuously punch heavy punches. Even if these punches are not hit to the point of the key, the opponent is not fatal by one blow, but they have been hit by heavy punches for more than ten consecutive rounds of games and will always fall down because they can't hold on.

Many teams can still play in front of the Lakers' games, and they play vividly, but at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the players have exhausted their energy and they are dragged down by the Lakers.

"After the timeout, Gan played again and replaced Mitchell Sampson. I don't know if Gan can shoot a 20-foot mid-range distance. I think he will hook directly." Zick Hearn didn't forget to make fun of him when he saw Gan Guoyang playing again.

Gan Guoyang had a few minutes of rest and immediately became energetic again. He saw that Jabbar had also regained the game, while McAdu was still there, and Lambis was replaced.

"Hello-Bob. (Hello, Bob)" Gan Guoyang looked at McAdu and said lightly.

McAdu glanced at the rookie center and felt angry again in his mind. Gan Guoyang's faint and cold expression made him feel that this guy was provoking.

McAdu ignored Gan Guoyang and focused on the competition.

The Lakers served on the sideline, McAdou ran out of the three-second zone and received the ball from the left bottom line.

Due to Jabbar's blocking in the inside, Kenny Carl did not completely keep up with McAdu, and the entire bottom line became an empty corridor.

McAdu directly broke through with the ball, and drove from the bottom line to the basket.

If he was 10 years younger, he would definitely have a dunk to end the attack, but now he suddenly exerted his force to the basket, but after he felt a little weak.

This is a sign of decline in physical function, so he can only change the dunk to a layup. Kenny Carl did not keep up, and Gan Guoyang seemed to be staring at Jabbar without making up for defense.

However, McAdu was 34 years old and Gan Guoyang was only in his early 20s, which was the peak of his physical fitness.

"Mccadu made a breakthrough layup and was blocked by Gan! The ball went out of bounds... The Trail Blazers obtained the ball..."

Gan Guoyang was waiting for McAdu to do this. He took two steps in one step, stretched his long arm, and then he got knocked off a little on the ball. There was no foul at all. It felt like he gently took the ball off McAdu's hand.

After the ball fell, it hit McAdu's foot and went out of bounds, and the ball returned to the Trail Blazers.

"A smart block, Gan added a big lock to the Trail Blazers' inside line as soon as he came on the court." Gan Guoyang's improvement in the inside defense quality of the Trail Blazers after he came on the court is obvious.

"One-Shoot!One-Shoot!(Score one!)" Ramsey was still shouting on the sidelines. It seemed that even if all the Trail Blazers players were exhausted, the coach's voice would not be tired.

Ramsey hopes that the team can seize this opportunity and score one.

Just now, you entered one and I entered the other, so the score difference has not changed.

Now there is finally one defense. If the ball can be scored, the momentum of both sides will be reversed.

Gan Guoyang inherited Sampson's position and continued to support him at the high point of the arc.

The Lakers are just as they insisted on letting the Blazers out of two meters inside.

Gan Guoyang really wanted to throw one in like Sampson, which would give the Lakers a bigger blow.

However, Gan Guoyang has not yet mastered his mid-range shot. Gan Guoyang is not sure about shooting at this position in the game.

He still transferred the ball to Corte, who received the ball from the left outside and then broke directly inward!

Colte is also a young and powerful point guard. He is the shortest but the fastest in the game, and he rushed into the Lakers' hinterland in an instant.

However, the Lakers' contraction defense was waiting for him now. He quickly fell into a siege under the basket and had no way to take action.

"Pass!Pass!" Gan Guoyang shouted, rushing towards the inside.

Colte found a gap to pass the ball, but the Lakers players squeezed around and rubbed the ball, and immediately became a mess under the basket.

This guy Gan Guoyang is also a master of chaos. This guy reacted quickly. When he saw that the ball was about to be lost, he immediately bent down and relied on his long arms and big hands to catch the ball.

But in front of him were three Lakers players, including Jabbar who was like a mountain.

But Gan Guoyang was fearless and rushed up to the Lakers' inside and made a layup.

"Bang!" The ball hit the rebound but failed, and he couldn't even touch the basket.

However, after throwing the ball, Gan Guoyang rushed into the ball. This time the shot became a pass. Gan Guoyang won the frontcourt rebound in front of two old men, Jabbar and McAdu.

"Gan, shake it for a while, turn to the left side of the basket, turn around and dunk with one hand!"

Gan Guoyang avoided the blockade of McAdu and Jabbar, and moved a beautiful step to the other side of the basket, turning around and slamming with one hand!
Chapter completed!
