The referee threw the ball into the air, and under the attention of thousands of viewers, the 1986 NBA Finals finally officially kicked off.

Gan Guoyang beat Parrish in the jump ball, touched the ball first, and pushed the ball into Corte's hand, and the Trail Blazers got the first offensive opportunity.

Corte was obviously a little nervous after getting the ball. He held the ball firmly for a second before he started dribbling through half the game. The Trail Blazers attacked for the first time.

"Gan asked for the ball at the basket. For the first attack of the Trail Blazers, Corte passed the ball to Gan, and Gan turned around and hooked... but failed. Gan's first shot failed."

Gan Guoyang was at the right low post and completed his first shot in the finals, but the ball fell out after a round of the basket, and Kevin McHale got the backcourt rebound.

"Gan's hook in the Western Conference Finals was shocking, but now his right hand has some injuries, which will definitely affect his performance. His left hand has not yet reached the level of superb level, which is good news for the Celtics and Parish." Commentary guest Tom Heinthorne, as an old Celtic player, speaks for himself.

Gan Guoyang missed his first shot, and the Celtics began to fight back amid cheers from all the fans. Such cheering noise will last for the whole game.

Larry Bird tried to be on the left, but Van derwich resolutely walked him around. Van derwich's defense has always been a big problem, but in the finals, he had to do his best.

Fortunately, Bird is a typical technical stream of action. The player of consciousness, Van dervich's defensive consciousness is actually not bad. The difference lies in his body. It is not particularly bad to actually play Bird.

Dennis Johnson tried to feed Bird several times but failed, so he suddenly accelerated with the ball and broke through from the middle to the inside.

"DJ's breakthrough, throwing... missed! But McHale scored a tip-in from behind! The Celtics scored the first point in the game, with McHale scoring."

Kevin McHale scored a goal and grabbed a rebound in the first offensive and defensive round, and performed well.

For McHale, this finals is also his breakthrough journey. He will face his senior brother Sampson again, and his psychological state will directly affect his performance.

In this year's playoffs, McHale's performance reached his peak. He was invincible at the low post. As long as he got the ball in the waist position, he was basically more than 60% chance that McHale would score.

And no matter who the defender is, McHale can use his flexible and changeable steps to make the opponent suffer - except Mitchell Sampson.

"Gan is in the low post again. This time he is on the left, and Cort's pass... was cut off! Dennis Johnson cut off Cort's pass, Celtics' fast break! McHale received the ball in the middle, pressed Sampson to shoot... The ball entered and stumbled into the basket!"

The Trail Blazers made an offensive mistake, and Gan Guoyang's passing line was seen through at a low post. Colt's pass was too low and was knocked out by Johnson, but the Celtics beat him back.

McHale scored another two points, and he received the ball in the middle. Mitchell Sampson's return defense was already in place. He was very uncomfortable when he pushed McHale to prevent him from breaking through, but the ball bounced on the basket a few times and fell into the basket.

0:4, the Celtics were in a strong opening morale.

It can also be seen from this defense that the Celtics' targeted defense of Gan Guoyang, and they learned from the Rockets' failure. First, they cannot let Gan Guoyang make a shot, and second, they cannot let Gan Guoyang catch the ball easily.

If Gan Guoyang throws it, the consequence is that you are so frightened that you are ecstatic. At the same time, as long as he can receive the ball, it will be useless for a few people to double-team it.

Therefore, the Celtics tried their best to block the pass route of the Trail Blazers to Gan Guoyang and nipped everything in the cradle.

"Pull it out! Pull it out!" Ramsey was a little anxious when he watched the game. Although the game had just begun, the Trail Blazers' players were obviously unable to let go of their performance on the court. Like Cort and Drexler were a little at a loss on the outside.

In comparison, the old fried dough stick Dennis Johnson and the cunning Angie are much older. They keep observing and wandering on the outside, and may appear on the Trail Blazers' passing line at any time to break the ball.

After the Trail Blazers players were pulled apart, Gan Guoyang no longer asked for the ball at the low post, but instead mentioned the high post and handed the low post on the left to Mitchell Sampson.

In the first three rounds of games, Sampson has gradually lost the position of the team as a deputy attacker in the inside line. The low-post offense has basically been included by Gan Guoyang. Sampson has mentioned more about high-post mid-range shots and bargains.

But in the finals, change is the main theme of the game. As the head coach with experience in the finals, Ramsey, who once directed a 0:2 reversal, knew the way of the game. Before the game, he expected that the Celtics would definitely make targeted defensive arrangements for Gan Guoyang.

Judging from the fact that the Trail Blazers lacked experience on the outside, opening from the outside is not a particularly good choice. It is unreliable to pin your hopes on Van der Vanesse's long pitching feel.

"Sampson got the ball, McHale defended well. Sampson had no chance to shoot. He passed the ball out. Colt passed it in again. Sampson turned around and passed McHale... McHale fouled when Sampson shot."

Although Sampson's turn was not fast enough, he was very determined and used his body to squeeze out McHale from the bottom line. He took the initiative to seek physical contact when shooting, causing McHale to foul.

"Sampson experienced a veteran. He caused McHale to foul and went to the free throw line... The first free throw was made... the second free throw, and the Trail Blazers' first score was relied on Mitchell Sampson's free throw."

Sampson's free throw stabilized the morale of the Trail Blazers and slightly suppressed the Celtics' arrogance.

In the next five minutes, Mitchell Sampson became the main attacking point of the Trail Blazers. He made 2 of 3 shots and made three free throws, scoring 7 points.

But the Trail Blazers only scored 9 points. Except for Mitchell Sampson, only Corte made a two-pointer, and no one else could score.

Under the tight defense of the Celtics, Gan Guoyang only got two shots and missed both hooks.

The Celtics' strategy of tying the pass route with two defenders has had a good effect. The inexperienced Trail Blazers' back line has become a little timid, regardless of whether they dare to feed Gan Guoyang the ball.

In comparison, the Celtics played more easily. Angie and Dennis Johnson from the outside played aggressively, and repeated breakthroughs put a lot of pressure on the Trail Blazers because the Celtics' outside shooting was really accurate, which made the Trail Blazers dare not easily shrink their defense.

Gan Guoyang suffered a defensive foul in the first quarter, which made him dare not defend with all his strength easily. These two old slippers are very good at creating fouls.

"Ange, take action outside the three-point line! Missed, Bird grabbed the frontcourt rebound, Bird passed the ball behind him! Parish made a layup! Bird's pass was so beautiful! 18:9, the score gap reached 9 points, and the Trail Blazers were about to call a timeout."

Anji missed a three-pointer, and the ball bounced too far. The Trail Blazers player failed to get the rebound. Bird rushed out from the diagonal stab to grab the ball.

When he got the ball, the man was still facing the basket, but suddenly he passed the ball behind his head with both hands and the ball flew into Robert Parrish's hand in the three-second zone.

Gan Guoyang and other players focused on Bird's strong side holding the ball, missing Parrish on the weak side, and the Chiefs easily scored a layup.

This ball has nothing to do with tactics, and it purely highlights Larry Bird's super pass and smell, as well as the tacit cooperation between Celtic players.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ramsey immediately called a timeout, and he wanted to give some advice to the players.

"Catch the ball in a more outward position, don't ask for the ball in too deep place, do not cooperate with Drexler and Cort. Cort, Clyde, you two should be more determined in passing, don't hesitate, don't worry about mistakes, be determined. Also, our mid-lane defense is too weak, making it too easy for Johnson and Angie to come in too easily, it's still the same way, block the middle and let go of the wing, Sampson, you get off the court and take a break, Jones, you come on the court, let Gan go to the power forward."

Ramsey responded to the situation on the field and grabbed the medicine according to the prescription. The medicine he grabbed was not a new medicine, but an old medicine commonly used by the pioneers.

The Trail Blazers used the most conservative and simpler man-to-man defense at the beginning, and the effect did not seem to be good, so Ramsey asked Gan Guoyang to play power forward on the defensive end, and Jones played center forward, blocking the Celtics' double defender's breakthrough route in the middle and driving them to the side.

At the same time, during the offense, the Celtics were too tall in the frontcourt and their arms were too long. It was difficult for Gan Guoyang to catch the ball in a deep position. Corte was too short, and passing the ball to Gan Guoyang was easily disturbed.

In the last round, the Rockets were too confident in the ability to defend the double towers and repair the defense, which led to the critical fifth game and the sixth game being broken by Gan Guoyang's explosion. The Celtics did not want to make the same mistake again, and began to destroy the first ring of Gan Guoyang's attack, and cut off the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron.

Therefore, Ramsey asked Gan Guoyang to get the ball from outside. After getting the ball, he started to cooperate with his teammates to play tactical attacks, otherwise it would be too much of a loss if the ball could not be held.

"The timeout is over. Both sides returned to the court. Compared with the Celtics, the performance on the court is much more immature. It is not as easy as the Celtics. They feel that they can't open it... OK, the Trail Blazers sent the sideline ball and were willing to run to the near the three-point line to catch the ball. After getting the ball, they started pushing it from near the three-point line. Parish had a hard time holding him... Turning back and rushing straight to the basket, passing the ball to Drexler who was inserted, Drexler dunked!"

Drexler's beautiful slash dunk finally scored a third player.

Gan Guoyang fully utilized his strength. Parrish could not carry Gan Guoyang like a big bamboo pole. Gan Guoyang pressed the chief and squeezed from 20 feet to within 10 feet. Suddenly, he turned back and Parrish was left behind.

Bird and McHale both stepped forward to make up for defense, Gan Guoyang passed in the air, and Drexler inserted into the ball directly dunked, as fast as the wind and thunder, 18:11.

"Dennis Johnson... was intercepted by Gan, Drexler's fast break, another dunk! In 20 seconds, the Trail Blazers chased 4 points in a row."

The last dunk was still unsatisfied. When Dennis Johnson broke through, Gan Guoyang suddenly reached out to grab a hand and broke Johnson's ball. Drexler dunked again to score.
Chapter completed!
