The second game of the season of the Portland Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics, played at the Memorial Stadium, started at 7 p.m. Pacific Time.

The aftermath of the last battle between the two sides has obviously not subsided, so the Trail Blazers, who returned to the home court in this game, received strong support from home fans. Gan Guoyang stood in the center of the field and felt that the enthusiasm of the fans tonight was much higher than that of the game like playing against the Utah Jazz.

The noisy environment is a torture and challenge for away teams, but it is a powerful dose of stimulant for home teams.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, the first quarter started on time. The game was treated by the national broadcast of the United States. It should be said that it was the most eye-catching battle between the East and West after the All-Stars game.

Gan Guoyang had already been holding back his energy before the game, thinking that no matter what, he would complete Ramsey's mission tonight, and also avenge a revenge that was killed by Bird.

Although Gan Guoyang suddenly couldn't move and the series of things that happened later made him still feel scared, Gan Guoyang, who had decided to go all the way to the black side, couldn't take care of that much.

From the start of jumping the ball, Gan Guoyang was like a small alarm clock that was on a little clock, jumping around both ends of the court with a clang. It seemed that the All-Star Game not only did not waste too much energy, but instead made him lively.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers also started from Gan Guoyang on both offense and defense.

Since Van derwich was absent, the Trail Blazers lacked an important attack point and defensive attraction point on the outside. Ramsey decided to simplify the entire offensive tactics and gave up a lot of incisive and cover in positional offense, but instead played simple high and low post cooperation, giving full play to Gan Guoyang's offensive ability in the low post and Sampson's shooting and response ability in the high post. At the same time, outside players such as Paxson, Valentine and Cauchy were waiting for opportunities to find opportunities to attack independently.

Such simplification actually had an unexpected and good effect in the first quarter. Gan Guoyang played 4 consecutive games at the beginning and scored 6 points from 3 of 4 shots, forcing the Celtics to attack Gan Guoyang.

Once the Celtics attacked Gan Guoyang, the Trail Blazers did not pass the ball to Gan Guoyang, but instead asked Sampson and Valentine to play a duo, while Gan Guoyang and Cauchy made every effort to grab the frontcourt rebounds.

In the past games, the Trail Blazers have never grabbed the frontcourt board but chose to return to defense as soon as possible. However, after Cauchy replaced Van dervic, the team's starting athletic ability was enhanced and the defensive intensity increased, but the offensive firepower point was obviously missing, so Ramsey required that the frontcourt rebounds must be fought to increase the chance of a second offense.

After more than half a season of training and self-expression, Jerome Cauchy has now stood firm in his position as a substitute. His diligent style on the court has been recognized by Ramsey.

As the starter in the first quarter, although he could not be compared with Van der Vic in the offense, his active fighting and powerful frontcourt board impact gave the Trail Blazers several opportunities for second attacks.

However, he still couldn't curb Bird's score in defense. In the face of Cauchy, Bird seemed to be playing with a high school student, and did he use various fake moves and back-to-body tricks to play with the second round pick in front of him?

Bird took over half of the team's scoring in the entire Celtics' performance in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Celtics by 7 points 29:22. 22 points are really a bit less for the powerful Celtics.

"You are beautifully made. Your touch looks good today. Keep it going, but I still want to tell you that your assists are - 0. Come on." Gan Guoyang played the first quarter as the starting center and scored 10 points on 5 of 6 shots, plus 5 rebounds and 1 block. At this pace, his data in this game will be very good again.

But when he returned to the bench excitedly, Ramsey told him that his assists were 0, and there was no one.

"Isn't the long pass from my fast attack just now an assist? The one who passed it to Clyde?" Gan Guoyang asked Ramsey with an incredible look on his face.

"No, Clyde used fake moves to avoid two people. Of course, your ball cannot be considered an assist." Ramsey glanced at Gan Guoyang and replied.

"However, your mission has been completed well. At the beginning of the second quarter, you can sit on the bench for a while and observe the attacks of both sides on the court." Ramsey patted Gan Guoyang on the shoulder and said.

In the first quarter, Ramsey assigned the task to Gan Guoyang to play the first shot at the start and attract the opponent's defense. Once the opponent's defense is concentrated to the low post, Gan Guoyang will start to play soybean rebounds; and in terms of defense, Ramsey is still relatively at ease with Gan Guoyang, and he can do everything he should do.

"We need to observe again. No wonder those excellent head coaches used to watch the water dispenser when they were players. It seemed that they were observed when they sat on the bench." When Gan Guoyang heard Ramsey's words, he thought that most of the famous coaches in the present and future seemed to have grown up by ordinary players, and those superstars were not the material for being coaches.

So, after the second quarter began, Gan Guoyang sat next to assistant coach Adelman and began to watch his teammates continue playing with the Celtics.

Since Gan Guoyang took time out every day to watch the game video, he has a deeper understanding of basketball games. At first, he thought that I would throw the ball into it and not allow the opponent to enter, so that the game would be won.

This understanding of basketball is basically at the level of "I scored 100 points, but my opponent didn't score 100 points, and I won."

As for his enlightenment mentor Bellman, Gan Guoyang began to realize that basketball was not that simple. Bellman repeatedly used his wonderful on-site command and platoon to help the team win, which made Gan Guoyang experience the charm of "basketball wisdom".

After arriving in the NBA, the ever-changing NBA arena made Gan Guoyang a little confused. Fortunately, practice makes perfect. No matter how stupid a guy throws him on the court for half an hour every night, he will know what to do on the court. What's more, Gan Guoyang is not stupid at all, he is very smart.

After realizing that Gan Guoyang is a smart and good seedling, Ramsey asked Gan Guoyang to go further, not only to know what he should do on the court, but also to reach the level of doing whatever he wants on the court.

One of the players who can reach this level is superstars, who can change the course of the game as they please; the other is a stubborn mind, but as long as the coach uses it well, it may really work miraculously.

Gan Guoyang didn't know yet that Ramsey had such high requirements for him. After the second quarter started, he sat off the court and began to watch the game between both sides continue.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides were substitute, but the Trail Blazers had Drexler to put the team in, while the Celtics brought Bird, who was replaced in the eighth minute of the first quarter, allowing Bird to start the second quarter with the substitute.

The Celtics took the lead, and Bird, the vaguely-positioned All-Agent began to act as a point guard to dribble through the halftime, and Drexler was the one who defended him at this time.

Bird was not fast and could not crossover. He just dribbled on the outside slowly.

Since McHale and Parish were not on the court, the Celtics' inside offense was almost no threat, and their position was very open, a typical 1-4 position, with no players below the free throw line.

On the Trail Blazers side, Gan Guoyang is not on the court. Norris, the offensive inside player, is the offensive insider, so the Trail Blazers are also empty in the three-second zone.

At this time, Bird, who was bent over, suddenly passed the ball with one hand, and the ball passed directly from 45 degrees to the inner arc of the free throw line. At this position, Danny Angie, who cut in with cover from the left!

Angie got rid of Cort's defense and relied on the cover of his teammates to cut in, but he did not completely get rid of the defense range of the Trail Blazers players. Norris and Cort both followed.

Anji's physical fitness is not outstanding, and what he was able to gain in the league was not only his shooting and intelligence, but also his solid basic skills. He did not hesitate after receiving the ball, risked being covered, and used a low-hand layup to pull the ball towards the basket as fast as possible.

The ball went in! 24:29, the Celtics used a simple cooperation to score two points.

"Gan, what do you think of this ball?" Adelman, who was sitting next to Gan Guoyang, suddenly asked Gan Guoyang.

Adelman's voice was hoarse and low. Gan Guoyang was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then he thought for a while and said, "It's a very simple and clear cooperation, but if I were on the court, Anji would definitely be blocked by me!"

The ball was covered or entered into the basket just a slight slight. Norris was shorter than Gan Guoyang, had shorter arms and a stout figure. If Gan Guoyang was replaced on the court, Anji would most likely be slapped out of the baseline by Gan Guoyang.

"Then if I told you that Bird wouldn't have sent this ball at all, what would you think?" Adelman asked again, his voice like the sand in his throat, with a severe wear and tear.

But Gan Guoyang didn't know how to answer Adelman's question. In fact, he didn't believe it. Could it be that Bird had a success rate calculator in his mind, and that kind of offensive success rate was high, so he passed the ball according to this offensive routine? That's amazing.

"Maybe...but I think you'd better help me think about how to complete three assists. I think it's harder than letting me make a three-pointer on the court. I'd throw one in the All-Star Game." Gan Guoyang had a headache when he thought of assists. He was always on the way to whether there were any assists in the past. He couldn't stop it even when fate came, but it was really worrying if he didn't have fate.

"It makes sense for Mr. Ramsey to let you observe. Watch videos, watch games and stand on the sidelines. These three feelings are different. Bird is a rhythm master on the court. He is a person who can do whatever he wants, just like a magician, but not very similar to a magician. Take a good look at his game. Of course, he won't always win, nor is it always right, but he is amazing. Believe me, you can do it too."
