"There are 2.8 seconds left before the end of the game. Yes, 2.8 seconds. I can take a cigarette, I can say a word, I can tie my shoelaces. Now, the Lakers still have 2.8 seconds to perform the last offense. 126:125, a point gap, 2.8 seconds, the entire Western Conference Forum Arena is waiting for this miracle to happen... Who will the Lakers let the last shot? Jabbar? Magician? Worthy? or Cooper? Jabbar is not in good shape today. He was restricted by Gan in a miserable way. He only scored 11 points for 5 of 14 shots, only winning only

Got a free throw opportunity. Gan is like a big pliers, clamping the sky hook outside the three-second zone, preventing him from getting close to the basket. The Magic continued his MVP performance. He has scored 22 points, 16 assists and 4 rebounds. Worthy is also excellent, with 30 points and 10 rebounds... Well, I know, every time I play against the Trail Blazers, their small forwards will perform at a phenomenal level. (PS: This is really not what I wrote about. Looking at the real game records, the small forwards of the team will always play very strongly.) So who will execute this last attack?"

CBS TV host Dick Stockton set off and paved the way for the last 2.8 seconds of the game in front of the TV. Everyone, including fans of the Great Western Forum Arena, think what will happen in these 2.8 seconds, because it is Los Angeles, Hollywood, and the Los Angeles Lakers are standing on the court.

The Lakers' match against the Trail Blazers on January 8 was as expected, as people expected, and it entered a fierce battle from the beginning.

The score gap between the two sides never exceeded 5 points in the first half. If one side has a slight sign of a rise, the other side will immediately make adjustments and ease the situation.

Recently, Gan Guoyang, who was killing all sides on the offensive end, was strangled by the Lakers in the interior. The three-man teamed up to tie the team. As long as Lambis and Cooper were on the court, they would never forget to come forward to harass Gan Guoyang, which made Gan Guoyang's attack difficult.

The other Trail Blazers players are quite powerful. Although Van derwich's defense is as bad as ever, he played a perfect first half, making 8 shots, 4 free throws and 4 free throws, scoring 20 points in the first half.

This allowed the Trail Blazers to maintain a balanced position with the Lakers in the first half.

But Van derwich could no longer ask for it in the third quarter. He was completely locked down, and Drexler was also dealt with. The Lakers unswervingly let him shoot, while Drexler rewarded it with constant ironing.

In the third quarter, the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 36:17, almost completely defeating the Trail Blazers.

This season, both sides are already the most powerful contenders of the Western Conference championship. Needless to say, the Lakers have soared to 30 wins and 8 losses after a series of wins, second only to the Lakers' 28 wins and 5 losses, ranking second in the West, because of the division rankings.

Both Pat Riley and Magic Johnson have listed the Trail Blazers as their strongest competitor this season.

Just when everyone felt that there was no suspense in the game and the Lakers led the fourth quarter with a 22-point advantage, the Trail Blazers launched a shocking counterattack.

They started with defense first. Gan Guoyang, who was in a mess on the offensive end tonight, did not try to make a central shot that was as unreliable as Drexler. He began to look for the shepherd dog on the ranch and devote all his energy to protecting his side's half.

From the basket to outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Gan Guoyang began a large-scale backup defense. He tirelessly attacked and repaired defense, especially for Magic Johnson, whose height and wingspan still played a role. Three of the Magician's four mistakes came from the fourth quarter.

Effective defense can bring a sharp counterattack. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ramsey replaced Cauchy, Cort and Porter again, and their impact was not available to Paxson and Van derwich.

Gan Guoyang's steals, blocks and backcourt rebounds delivered sufficient ammunition to the Black Cavalry in the frontcourt, and the crazy Trail Blazers fast break swept the last section of the Great Western Forum.

Pat Riley originally hoped that Jabbar would rely on singles to stabilize the situation in the last storm, but Gan Guoyang and Kenny Carl double-teamed Jabbar without hesitation. Once Jabbar missed the score, Jabbar, who became more and more slow in the Trail Blazers' counterattack, had no time to guard the basket.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers had already scored a super shock wave of 20:3. The roaring Riley could only replace Jabbar and replace the inside line Morris Lucas who was supplemented in the offseason.

I have to admit that in the face of the old master, Morris Lucas' performance was undercover.

As soon as he got on the court, his mistake gave the Trail Blazers a chance to counterattack. This time, Gan Guoyang followed up with a dunk in the fast break, narrowing the score gap to 3 points, and the 22-point gap was almost closed.

Then Lucas made another mistake. His foul on the defensive end made Gan Guoyang successfully score a three-pointer. With Gan Guoyang making a free throw, both sides tied!

After that, the two sides started a tug-of-war again. Jim Paxson scored a gold-like mid-range with 2.8 seconds left in the game. This was his only goal in the whole game, but the Trail Blazers surpassed the Lakers by one point 126:125!

So, everyone began to wait for the Lakers' last attack, the last attack that could change everything.

"The timeout ended, and the players on both sides returned to the court. No one expected this game to be so intense. We all thought the third quarter would end. However, the Trail Blazers scored a super shock wave of 53:20, and 53 points in a single quarter were also the record of single-quarter scoring in this season. The game with the highest score in a single quarter in NBA history was created by the Buffalo Braves in Boston in 1972. The Braves scored 58 points in the fourth quarter of that game. Let us decide the final attack of the result of this game!"

All the fans in the stadium stood up, and they were all looking forward to the miracle. Jabbar also returned to the court. Jabbar's ability to make a key goal may be the strongest center in the entire NBA history.

The Trail Blazers were also on guard. Van derwich and Paxson were replaced. Jerome Cauchy stared at Magic Johnson, and the task of marking Worthy was handed over to Drexler.

Lambis serves on the outside, and he is the least offensive threat among the starters.

"Beep!" The referee's serve whistle rang, and the ball was handed to Lambis, and he had 5 seconds to make a choice.

Pat Riley arranged two tactics during the timeout, one was Worthy and Johnson crossed the cover, one went to the middle, and the other went down from 45 degrees. At the same time, Jabbar mentioned the horn position.

Worthy cuts inwardly is a bait, and the Magician who walks in the middle is the main owner. After receiving the ball, he will directly break through the middle, or make a layup or throw.

Cooper is still ambushed in the corner of the right. If the Magician is fast enough, pass the ball to Cooper, and Cooper has a chance to take action in the last 0.1 second.

This is solution one, provided that Worthy's bait and Kareem's pick-and-roll in the horn position can work.

If Jabbar's cover is ineffective, it means that the Trail Blazers have not switched defenses, and Cauchy must have passed between Jabbar and Gan Guoyang, so that Lambis can pass the ball directly to Jabbar in the horn position. Jabbar can catch the ball at this position and directly hook the ball, although it is 18 feet away from the basket.

This was what Jabbar did when facing the San Diego Clippers in the opening game in 1979. An 18-foot long-distance hook shot the Clippers into hell. Rookie Magic Johnson hugged Jabbar like a cheerful deer and laughed and screamed, making old Jabbar confused, "It's just the first game, and the season is still long."

Now, so many years have passed, the magician is still full of passion for the game like a cheerful deer, while Jabbar is much older, but he can also hit such a difficult long-distance hook.

"2.8 seconds, there is too much time." Jabbar thought to himself.

"Five~Four~Three...(5,4,3...)" The referee urged Lambis to make a decision in his ear.

Wosi had already followed, Drexler followed, and Jabbar provided a cover for the magician, Gan Guoyang made a gap for Kosi, and Kosi walked through between Kareem and Gan Guoyang to defend the magician!

"It's now!" Lambis looked at this point. At this time, Gan Guoyang's weakest defense against Kareem, and Kareem was already asking Lambis for the ball.

Lambis threw the ball at Jabbar without hesitation. He could already see the graceful posture of the sky hook in the air and the perfect sound of the ball entering the basket...

But everything is destroyed by the shadow behind it.

Lanbis didn't expect Gan Guoyang to be so fast.

Gan Guoyang, who had just given his debut to Cauchy, rushed forward like a cheetah and poked the ball from behind before Jabbar received the ball!

"Gan knocked the ball! Gan knocked the ball! Gan fell to the ground and threw the ball in his arms! Gan fell to the ground and threw the ball in his arms! Perfect defense, the game ended, the Trail Blazers won, it ended, the perfect defense."

Perfect defense, no suspicion of fouls, Gan Guoyang's cutting ball was very clean.

With the sound of the buzzer, the game ended, while Gan Guoyang was still lying on the ground with the ball in his arms. All the Trail Blazers players rushed forward and pressed Gan Guoyang under him to celebrate, an exciting victory.

Even for the Trail Blazers player who has been winning streak recently, it is enough to be delighted to be able to defeat the Purple and Gold Army in this way at home.

Especially the super big reversal in the fourth quarter and the way to win - relying on defense, this is a sign of the gradual maturity of a strong team.

After the game, many reporters asked why Gan Guoyang's last steal was so fast, and when contacting the game where Jabbar won the final victory in 1979, Gan Guoyang said something intriguing.
