Chapter 457 Jedi Counterattack

With Kosey's dunk, the gap between the two sides had turned into 7 points. At this time, the Suns players were obviously a little panicked, especially for Gan Guoyang and they didn't know how to defend. Originally, Gan Guoyang scored three goals in a row, and everyone was ready to double-team Gan Guoyang at any time, but then Gan Guoyang passed the ball three times in a row to help his teammates score.

In the case of one, one, four, four, the space on the court was completely opened. Gan Guoyang was not good at that kind of delicate passes and reception, which was Sabonis's specialty, but due to the space being opened, the contact between the players was even more serious. Gan Guoyang was able to create scoring opportunities for his teammates with his strong defensive appeal.

The Suns coach was in a hurry on the sidelines and kept reminding the players on the court to stay stable. In fact, they are still 7 points ahead, which is a big advantage, but looking at the coach's expression, it seems that they are 7 points behind.

"Hornersec possessed the ball, they could not shoot three more points anymore. He passed the ball to Tom Chambers. Chambers held the ball at the low post and singled Cauchy... But his ball was knocked out by Cauchy! Hornersec still grabbed the ball back and passed it back to Kevin Johnson. Johnson broke through! Passing the ball, Marley broke through again, and threw the ball! The ball did not go in! But Mark West grabbed the frontcourt rebound!"

The Suns' offense stagnated. Cauchy came to defend against Tom Chambers, although he was at a disadvantage in height, his strength and speed were not at a disadvantage. Chambers was quite hesitant just now and was almost intercepted. Fortunately, Horacek quickly grabbed the ball.

Johnson and Marley made a turn for the breakthrough, but Gan Guoyang had too much deterrent power in the three-second zone. Marley missed a throw, but Mark West grabbed the frontcourt rebound.

This is the disadvantage of the first and fourth-small lineup. When Gan Guoyang saved to make up for defense, there was a missing big man who could grab rebounds. The Blazers worked hard to defend this goal, but gave the Suns 24 seconds of offensive time.

The Suns fans were relieved of their hearts because the ball was still in the hands of the Suns. As long as they scored this goal, the situation would stabilize.

"Concentrate, focus! Don't relax!" While concentrating on defense, Gan Guoyang loudly reminded his teammates that he knew that balls like this had a big blow to the morale of the defensive players. He worked hard to defend, but it was in vain if he didn't grab a rebound.

But now, the Trail Blazers must grit their teeth and hold on. Whether this goal is or not is a completely different situation.

"Kevin Johnson takes the ball, Hornerseck is stared at very much. Johnson wants to pass the ball to Hornerseck, but he stops the ball! Porter stepped forward to grab the ball, the two of them hugged each other, and the referee blew the ball to compete!"

Kevin Johnson's experience is still too shallow. He habitually wants to pass the ball to the Hornerseck organization. However, since Jim Paxson came on the court, he has been very strict with Hornerseck's defense, because Paxson himself is a classic academic shooting guard and is very familiar with Hornerseck's running position. Paxson's attention to Hornerseck is not based on his body, but on judgment and movement.

Johnson was about to pass the ball, but he found that Hornersek was staring at him, but he had already held the ball in both hands, forming a dead ball, and he could no longer dribble. The experienced Porter immediately stepped forward and pressed the ball. The two of them fell to the ground with the ball, and the referee naturally called the ball to compete.

"Beautiful job, Porter!" Gan Guoyang stepped forward and touched Porter's head hard. Porter was suppressed by Kevin Johnson in the whole game because he had to focus on defense. Porter performed mediocrely in the offense and finally began to recover in the fourth quarter.

It can be said that in the Portland Trail Team, the only one who can control the game in the fourth quarter was Gan Guoyang.

"Two people compete for the ball, the crucial one is competing for the ball, Porter is higher, but Johnson can jump more!"

As the referee threw the ball into the air, the two of them jumped at the same time. Although Kevin Johnson bounced better, Porter was tall and touched the ball earlier. He pushed the ball in the direction of Gan Guoyang.

Mark West tried his best to squeeze out Gan Guoyang and even made a pulling move, but Gan Guoyang still reached out to catch the ball, and then directly gave the ball point to Drexler with one hand.

"Drexler got the ball and lowered his head to sprint! Marley wanted to follow him, but he couldn't keep up. However, Drexler passed the ball to Paxson, and Paxson passed it to Gan who followed him again. Gan dunked with one hand! The ball went in! A fast attack three people cooperated, Gan completed the dunk, and the difference became 5 points, and the Suns were about to call a timeout again!"

The three of them were quick to get off, and Marley and Hornersek could not stop them. Just when Gan Guoyang received the ball and dunk, they would interfere with him and give him a chance to score a three-pointer.

The five-point difference is 2 minutes away from the end of the game, and the Suns have to use another timeout. Their purpose of the timeout now is to score a goal and score a goal to stabilize the situation.

But the Suns are just unable to score now. Although the Trail Blazers are one, one, four, and four, Chambers has no absolute advantage over Cauchy. Mark West does not have the ability to attack independently. Hornersek and Kevin Johnson, who have performed well, have made mistakes one after another. Marley is not a player who can change the situation alone. He must rely on tactical cooperation.

But the most serious thing is that the mentality of both sides is completely different; the change in the mentality of the Trail Blazers came from the time of Gan Guoyang's refusal to suspend. They were originally given a three-pointer and their morale was very hit, but Gan Guoyang served quickly. The Trail Blazers players didn't have time to be depressed and immediately scored another one. The morale that was hit was immediately found.

The Suns players were just celebrating, but they were beaten in the butt, and their mentality was a little impatient. Then Johnson and Hornacek's wrong choices showed that their mentality was getting more and more impatient. When the Trail Blazers pressed forward to score step by step, the Suns were completely disorganized.

So, in the last 8 minutes of the game, all the timeouts were called by the Suns, and the Suns were actually the leading side.

"Beautiful, beautifully done!" When Gan Guoyang left the court, all the substitutes came up to slap him in high fives. So far, this game fully demonstrated Gan Guoyang's leadership. His seemingly reckless fast serve actually changed the situation.

"Five minutes, five-point gap, the Trail Blazers have a good chance of turning the tables, but now the initiative is still in the hands of the Suns. It depends on their offense. They really, really, really need to score a goal. How long has it been since they scored?"

The Suns really haven't scored for a long time. At this time, a huge weakness of the Suns was exposed, which was the lack of a veteran on the court. Although Hornersek played like an old fox, he was in the third grade after all, not to mention Kevin Johnson, not to mention the second grade.

The only person with rich experience and strong strength is Tom Chambers.

"The timeout is over, both sides return to the court, and a key attack, all the spectators stood up and waited for this attack."

"Bee!" The referee handed the ball to Marley, and the Suns served with a whistle.

The Trail Blazers did not press against Johnson and Hornersek, Adelman did not want to risk destroying their defensive formation, and Kevin Johnson successfully received the ball.

But then, Johnson began to hesitate when he got the ball. Not only did Johnson hesitate, but the entire Suns began to hesitate. They didn't know how to run, but they had more than two seconds to stiffen there.

In the end, no one dared to shoot the ball when he got the ball, and he handed the ball to Tom Chambers, who was inside. Chambers, as the most important signing for the Suns this season, played a very important role. In this game, he also wiped out the decline in the previous two games and performed quite well.

"Chambers took the ball from the waist and broke through the basket... The ball went out of bounds, and Chambers drove the ball out of bounds... a fatal mistake."

When Chambers broke through the baseline, he was knocked out by Cauchy and lost his balance. As a result, the ball went out of bounds and the Blazers' ball rights.

All Suns fans' hearts were hanging, and the Trail Blazers served outside the world and were ready to score the goal.

"Drexler controls the ball, and he and Gan pass the ball to Gan, and Gan catches the ball and jumps!" The Trail Blazers' offense is very fast. Drexler and Gan Guoyang play a pick-and-roll at a high position. Drexler passes back to Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang catches the ball and jumps at the top of the arc.

"Swish!" The ball entered the net hollow, extremely straightforward, and the entire attack was so smooth that it was not dragged on at all.

After scoring the goal, Gan Guoyang just clenched his fists gently, and then ran back to the backcourt and threw himself into defense.
