"Clyde, the-glide.(Clyde, glider.)"

After this dunk, Drexler finally had his own famous name, the glider.

The result of this game may have been sealed in the NBA's historical archives after it was over and occasionally referred to, but Drexler's dunk has taken the initiative to become an indelible classic goal in NBA history.

This will also become Drexler's most famous dunk, appearing countless times in image introductions about Drexler.

However, now, before Drexler and the Trail Blazers' players had time to reminisce about this wonderful goal, the Lakers have already pushed up quickly.

"Magic, continue to pass the ball to Worcy, still on the left. Worcy observed it and turned over and jumped!"

The Lakers still insist on letting Worthy attack at a low post. They will inevitably want to open the weakest link on the Trail Blazers' defense line. As long as this link is opened, the Trail Blazers' defense line will inevitably loosen.

But Van derwich also tried his best to defend today. Worthy's goal was not deep enough and was squeezed to a 15-foot position. When he turned over and took action, the ball's arc was obviously higher.

Obviously, Worthy was not good at shooting at this distance, and the accuracy of the excessive arc gave way was lost, "Bang!" The ball hit the front of the basket and did not make any progress.

However, this guy Lambis came out from somewhere and grabbed the rebound next to Gan Guoyang.

"Lambis! Grab the rebound! Make a layup! Beautiful rebound."

"It's mine!" Gan Guoyang pointed himself, indicating that it was his problem.

Gan Guoyang's backcourt rebound control has been very good, but he alone cannot block all the Lakers players. A player like Lambis who is good at taking advantage of loopholes can seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation.

64:66, the Lakers overtook the score again.

In the next game, both sides entered a fast break. Because the Trail Blazers had Drexler, their positional offensive efficiency began to decline. Ramsey intended to let Drexler hold the ball and speed up.

Drexler, who got plenty of chances to play in the third quarter, began to run wildly on the floor of the Great Western Forum Arena like a wild horse.

The Lakers' defense line was the first time that he began to feel the nearly endless energy of this No. 22 second-year student. He was too fast, too capable of running, too jumping.

And he also has outstanding rebounding and passing ability, and at this point he seems to be another Magician Johnson.

The only difference is that his pass is not as weird as the Magician, but his powerful finishing ability at the basket also amazed the Lakers fans on the scene.

The game went to 8 minutes and 55 seconds in the third quarter, and the scores of both sides continued to rise alternately. Drexler had already scored 12 points in the third quarter.

"Cooper passed the ball, Kubchek at the basket! Layout!...Not touched the basket... The ball was taken by McAdou... McAdou shot and was blocked by Drexler! Drex took the ball and quickly attacked! In the middle, he passed the ball to Corte, Corte made a layup, Cooper fell to the ground, no foul, Drexler grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Corte, Corte shot from the bottom line, the ball entered! 77:76! The Trail Blazers overtook one point."

Drexler once again led the Trail Blazers' fast attack. Except for the last hit, Drexler controlled the entire process.

When the Lakers played until the eighth minute, they replaced both Jabbar and Lambis, and replaced substitutes McAdu and Mitchell Kubchek.

The Trail Blazers took Kenny Carl and replaced Sampson. Gan Guoyang continued to guard the inside on the court.

As a pseudo-fan in later generations, Gan Guoyang basically only knows superstars and celebrity coaches, and is not very familiar with some other people, otherwise he would definitely know that Mitchell Kubczek, who faced him, was the general manager of the Lakers later.

As general manager, Kubczek should be said to be quite outstanding. Every Lakers' trade will shock the league, but as a player, he is just a pretty good person and occasionally has bright spots, but he is just a role player after all.

Although Gan Guoyang is outstanding in strength, he knows that he is still a rookie and lacks experience, so he will be careful and do his best no matter what kind of player he meets.

He didn't know who this Kubczek was, and whether he would have been like McAdu.

Anyway, he treated Kubchek as Kareem to defend, but this time it made Kubchek suffer. He finally got a good opportunity at the basket, and he was one foot away from the basket and gently hooked his hand.

If Gan Guoyang jumped up and blocked the shot, the experienced Kubczek might be able to cheat him for a foul or something.

However, Gan Guoyang stood up in front of Kubuchek like a wall, and constantly squeezed Kubuchek's space with his body, which made Kubuchek unable to lift his hands, so he could only throw the ball casually, hoping to throw it in at such a close distance based on his feel.

But I didn't know that the ball didn't even touch the basket.

McAdu happened to win the ball, but under the deterrence of Gan Guoyang, he chose to make a backward jump shot, but was slapped by Drexler behind him.

With this excellent defense of this goal, the Trail Blazers used a quick counterattack to score points and successfully overturned the score at the end of the third quarter. This was the first time the Trail Blazers took the lead in the whole game.

"Beautiful defense, Clyde! Keep it up!" Gan Guoyang clapped and encouraged loudly. With Drexler on the outside, the Blazers' defense level on the outside was obviously higher.

"Magic Johnson, breaks through from the left side! He passes Drexler again, lays down! The ball is in! Foul! Drexler's foul is pushing people behind!"

The Trail Blazers just overturned the score, and their lead lasted only 10 seconds, and Magic Johnson regained the advantage with a breakthrough layup.

Johnson's explosive power was not strong, and his speed was not super fast, but his dribbling skills had really reached the peak of the players at that time, and his control over his huge body was beyond ordinary NBA players.

He was covered in fake moves. Although Drexler burst out faster than the magician, he could not see through Johnson's fake moves.

More importantly, Johnson's pass threat is too great, which greatly distracts the defenders.

"Come-on, guys! (Come on, guys!)" Johnson clapped his teammates one by one after the goal and told the players to cheer up.

Since the beginning of this season, Johnson has gradually become the absolute leader of the Lakers, both tactical and spiritually.

Johnson made a free throw, and the Lakers overtook two points with 79:77.

"The game was in the third quarter, and the competition between the two sides became more and more intense. The Trail Blazers still did not reduce their offensive speed. After serving, they passed the ball directly through the half. Drexler received the ball in the frontcourt! They broke through from the right wing and made a layup. The ball failed. Gan followed up, got the rebound, and was double-teamed. He passed the ball. This is his first rebound today?"

At this time, except for Kenny Carl, the other players on the field, Gan Guoyang, Drexler, Colt, and Cauchy were all first and second grade rookies, all of whom were young and strong, and they had endless physical strength.

They played completely differently from the usual Portland Trail Blazers. They did not have a lot of screens, counter-runs, no accurate outside shooting and empty cuts at the basket, but were quick, impacting, and fighting for the frontcourt rebounds.

Gan Guoyang did nothing else in this quarter, and he grabbed 11 rebounds alone, including 5 of them in the frontcourt rebounds. So far, he has won 19 rebounds, and it is certain that he has broken 20 rebounds in the whole game.

"This kid is really fucking robbed." Bob McAdu couldn't help muttering on the court. Gan Guoyang has a natural sense of sensitivity to rebounding.

At the same time, the fast-paced offense and defense of both sides greatly increased the number of shots on both sides, and the corresponding number of iron shots increased. Gan Guoyang's rebounding data naturally also rose.

The ball was passed to Cauchy, and Cauchy had no independent offensive ability, so he immediately transferred the ball to Corte.

There is no Van derwich and Paxson on the field, and the running tactics on the outside are almost gone, so once you fall into the position, you don’t know how to fight.

Since you can't play tactics, the best offensive method is the low-post singles of inside players.

Gan Guoyang played for a long enough time today, but he made few moves, only four shots, hit 2 goals, and scored 4 points.

So he was still very physically strong and immediately got stuck at the low position on the right after passing the ball.

Bob McAdu is in charge of defending Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang is not polite, sticking his butt and stuck his former MVP behind him.

"Gan got the ball, Kubchek stepped forward and was double-teamed. Gan was attacked. He squeezed through the gap between the two and hooked up! Hit! 79:79, and the score between the two sides was tied again."

Gan Guoyang knew before he got the ball, he would definitely be double-teamed. The Blazers' tactical intentions should have been exposed too clearly.

So, after getting the ball, Gan Guoyang did not hesitate at all. He immediately turned around and squeezed into the three-second zone before McAdu and Kubczek closed. Then he relied on his long arm to easily hook and hit.

"Beep!" At this time, the referee whistled and the Lakers requested a timeout. There were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

"You guys did a good job, you did a great job." Ramsey affirmed their performance when the Trail Blazers players left the court.

Because of Paxson's absence, Ramsey's lineup rotation disrupted, and he had to put four young players on the court at the same time.

But he didn't expect that these young men would play very well. Needless to say, Drexler and Gan Guoyang were very stable, and Cauchy's role on the defensive end and the impact on the offensive end made people shine.

Ramsey can foresee that these young people will be the core skeleton of the future Trail Blazers lineup.
Chapter completed!
