“What-a-fucking-shoot! (What the hell is this shooting?)”

In Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the famous basketball university is located in the University of North Carolina. However, the end of the period is approaching and the NCAA has ended, and the school’s basketball hall is somewhat silent.

Only in the lounge in the stadium, someone was sitting in front of the fluorescent screen watching the 1986 finals. Michael Jordan was eliminated in the first round and went home to fish early.

When he saw Gan Guoyang scored three three-pointers in a row, he couldn't help but swear. It was not because he supported the Celtics, but because he was incredible for such an incredible goal as Gan Guoyang, who scored 63 points and broke the record against him.

After being eliminated by the Celtics without any suspense in the first round, Jordan went home for a short period of adjustment, and then returned to his alma mater, University of North Carolina, and started training during the offseason.

Here, he can get guidance from old coach Dean Smith, and here, he can devote himself to polishing his skills.

However, he also closely monitors the NBA games, especially the Celtics and the West Trail Blazers and the Rockets.

When he saw Gan Guoyang and Olajuwon fighting in the Western Conference Finals, Jordan felt a little envy and even jealousy in his heart, which prompted him to sweat heavily in the training hall.

When witnessing Gan Guoyang's series of super-strong performances and bringing the Trail Blazers into the finals, Jordan had to admit that Gan Guoyang was already ahead of him.

Tonight, in the NBA Finals, Gan Guoyang once again shocked him. This guy actually shot three-pointers and scored three three-pointers in a row. This proves that his three-pointers are not fooled. He must have had hard training in daily training.

"It seems that I need to practice my long-range shooting well." Jordan's long-range shooting ability needs to be further improved at this time, and Gan Guoyang's performance undoubtedly greatly inspired his fighting spirit.

Seeing the third quarter, as a player who scored 63 points against the Celtics in the first round, Jordan could feel that Gan Guoyang should have found some tricks to deal with the Celtics.

As a Celtic with a rubber wall defense, it is very difficult to break through their defense, but if you can't pass through such a defense, you can go around it.

In that 63-point battle, Jordan made full use of his flexible running and superb singles skills, which could be said to bypass the Celtics' defense line - because their precise positioning and interception were of no effect on Jordan, and he did not need to pass or catch the ball to attack.

As the center, Gan Guoyang has natural flaws in his independent offense. It was very difficult for him to connect the ball in the first two quarters. However, in the third quarter, he made three three-pointers. Although he was lucky, it was also the result of active fighting in the defense of the Trail Blazers players.

It was like suddenly finding the feeling that the Trail Blazers began to continuously fight and oppress on the defensive end, and Ramsey also replaced it with a higher and stronger Porter strengthened the fight.

During the offense, the Trail Blazers completely pursued simplification and no longer made complicated cooperation. Gan Guoyang no longer lingers at the low post. Instead, he went to a more outward position, using the basket to attack, or crush the singles inward at a relatively far position to deal with the Celtics' dense defense.

This kind of attack seems to be very difficult for Gan Guoyang. Just as Jordan played when facing the Celtics, he needed to do a lot of offensive actions, he needed to do his best, always pay attention to the opponent's double-team, push Parrish or Walton from 20 feet to 10 feet to launch an attack, squeeze into the basket and grab the frontcourt rebound, and put the ball into the basket surrounded by the tall Celtics frontcourt group.

Gan Guoyang's style of playing reminds people of Moses Maron in 1981.

Such an offense is definitely relatively low efficiency, especially compared with Gan Guoyang's casual and casual catch and hook in the Western Conference Finals. As long as he feels and the rhythm of receiving the ball is good, it is normal to throw 8 10 balls into it.

Thankfully, this stupid playing style in the third quarter can have a success rate of 50%.

But the problem is that the Celtics' defense made Gan Guoyang unable to be free at all, and he couldn't even catch the ball well. Therefore, this labor-intensive and stupid style of play supported the Trail Blazers' offense in the third quarter.

Jordan watched Gan Guoyang gradually get into the state on the court, struggling like a beast under the encirclement of the Celtics' powerful frontcourt, and sighed in his heart how this guy combined the elegant and graceful scoring technique of hooking up with his powerful and domineering body and playing style. It was like letting Moses Malone and Jabbar merge, which was really incredible.

Also, this guy will shoot three points.

"Gan grabbed the rebound, didn't make the layup, and robbed it again! He still missed the layup, but Gan still pointed the rebound. Van derwich took the ball, didn't shoot, and directly hit the basket, causing Walton's foul and went to the free throw line!"

"The Trail Blazers in the third quarter played very hard. After Gan Guoyang miraculously hit three three-pointers, they almost did not choose to shoot outside, but instead hit the basket more and used the players' personal abilities to create damage. At the same time, they were very active in fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt."

The voices of Musberg and Heinthorne's commentary came from the TV. They also saw the changes in the Trail Blazers in the third quarter. They no longer had too fine tactics and reduced outside shooting. Instead, they used simpler and more rough individual singles, broke through inside and fought against the Trail Blazers.

This is not the usual style of the Trail Blazers, but in the finals, there is nothing fixed. Taking advantage of the situation and adapting to the situation is the key to controlling the rhythm of the game.

If the overall weak pioneers do not seek new things and cooperate with the Celtics to fight tactics, they will only be suppressed. They are a little more tender in this regard.

But Gan Guoyang's three three-pointers rekindled the team's fighting spirit. Later, he took the lead and fought with the Celtics' forward line without any effort. He made 8 of 18 shots in the third quarter, and his shooting percentage was not outstanding, but he also grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds and stood on the free throw line four times.

The Trail Blazers, who were 21 points in a single quarter and 9 points behind in the first half, relied on Gan Guoyang's life-threatening performance to beat the opponent 36-26, but instead overtook the opponent and entered the fourth quarter with one point.

"The physical strength is really good. I don't know if I can withstand it in the fourth quarter." Jordan was still worried about the Trail Blazers' physical strength.

After all, the Trail Blazers are a young team. The young man was working hard to play Gan Guoyang in the third quarter. He went straight to the start of the fourth quarter. It seems that he will not rest in the second half.

Jordan is similar to the Bulls. He played for forty minutes in a game. The key third and fourth quarters are often not to rest for a minute.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers continued to maintain a high-intensity fight, but the effect seemed not as good as the third quarter, because the Celtics had gradually adapted to the strength of the Trail Blazers and instead used more rapid cooperation to mobilize the pace of each defender.

"Bird broke through and had no chance to turn around and pass it to Parish, but Parish handed the ball back to Parish again. Bird fired from outside the three-point line! The ball entered!"

Larry Bird always maintained this hot state and fatal feel throughout the game. His slow breakthrough failed to squeeze through Jerome Cauchy's defense, not to mention Drexler also stepped forward to double-team.

But after turning around and handing the ball to Parish who was on the line to receive the ball, he immediately stepped out of the three-point line. Cauchy reacted half a beat slower. He did not expect Parish to pass the ball back so quickly, and Bird took such a decisive move and made a three-pointer.

Seeing this ball, Jordan couldn't help but recall Bird's terribleness. This white forward who seems to have no characteristics can always give you a hard blow in your unexpected way.

"The Trail Blazers quickly sent the ball to counterattack. Drexler passed the ball to Gan, Gan... Gan took a shot outside the three-point line... The ball entered!"

Musberg's voice paused for a moment. After Gan Guoyang's ball entered, he took a second to shout out, and Tom Heinthorne simply said nothing.

"What-a-fucking-shoot! (What the hell is this shooting?)" Jordan said exactly the same thing as before, which was almost the voice of everyone in Boston Garden Plaza.

Gan Guoyang's fourth three-pointer, perhaps he knew that in the next game, he could never think of shooting a three-pointer like this today, so he had to take advantage of his own hands to shoot all three-pointers.

The significance of this three-pointer is not just an Answer ball against Bird's goal, nor is it just a boost to the morale of the Trail Blazers players. It is a challenge to the entire Celtic defense - I, a center, stand outside the three-point line, are you defending or not?

Whether it is defense or offense, what I fear most is hesitation.

The Celtics' defense was a little hesitant.

Of course, their offense was still very good. Both sides entered a fierce tug-of-war in the second half of the fourth quarter. The scores have been rising alternately, and the score difference has never exceeded three points.

The fierce game made Jordan not even pay attention. A second person came into the lounge in the arena. It was not until the game was suspended that his mentor Dean Smith was standing next to him.

"Mr. Smith..."

"How is it like watching the finals?" Chapple Mountain basketball pope asked his most proud disciple.

"I will stand there one day."

"...The last attack was made, the Trail Blazers played great today, but they were still two points behind. The Celtics had too strong ability to finish, and they had too many excellent players with rich experience."

At this time, the score on the court was 109:111. With a tip-in from Bill Walton, the Celtics led by two points with 9 seconds left in the game. The Trail Blazers called a timeout and wanted to arrange the last attack.

"Gan's three-pointer tonight is incredible." Jordan suddenly said, he had a premonition that Gan Guoyang might shoot three-pointers at the last moment.

At this time, both players returned to the court. In the most critical nine seconds, even from the TV, Jordan could feel the suffocating atmosphere in the stadium, as if he had returned to the 63-point overtime battle.

Everyone held their breath, and even Dean Smith stopped talking.

"The Trail Blazers serve, Gan mentioned receiving the ball at a high position. This is their usual key ball tactic. Gan ran outside the three-point line, Gan turned around... and swung past Parrish with fake moves!"

Gan Guoyang mentioned that he was 45 degrees high to catch the ball. Others were the key ball tactics commonly used by the Trail Blazers, but this time Gan Guoyang caught the ball outside the three-point line, and turned around to shoot with the ball. Robert Parrish was afraid of Gan Guoyang's shot, and subconsciously stepped forward to block it. As a result, Gan Guoyang passed Parrish with a fake move and cut straight from the middle to the inside.

Jordan stood up from the chair. He saw Gan Guoyang step by step in three steps, facing McHale two big strides, and hooked and shot at a 10-foot position!

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded. McHale made a defensive foul. He clicked Gan Guoyang's palm. At the Celtics' home court, which can be blown or not, the referee chose to whistle.

But everyone's attention is still on the ball, and the ball rolls on the basket.

Go around.

Two laps.

Three circles.

"Swish~" fell into the net bag!

Gan Guoyang scored three points!

There was silence in the TV, but Jordan could see the joy of the Trail Blazers after the goal, an incredible goal, and a hook shot was sure to win.

"Michael, remember, when you train hard, there must be someone in the world who works harder than you." Dean Smith said to Jordan.
Chapter completed!
