The 2-3-2 finals match system, with the current 2:1 total score, means that the entire Trail Blazers will stay in Detroit for nearly a week, and all three away games will be played, so it is crucial to spend the last two games in Motor City and steal one of the wins.

Many critics believe that the Trail Blazers are likely to continue losing in Game 4 and then compete with the Pistons for the championship point in Game 5, which is something the Trail Blazers don't want to see at all, because if so, the key fifth game will be played in Auburn Hill, which will be a big disadvantage to the team.

After the third game, the next day, the entire Trail Blazers finally had time to devote themselves to training, no longer delays in planes, no traffic jams, no longer horns, and the training started early in the morning, which continued until 6 pm.

The intensity of training is not too high, because there will be competitions next, but the training is very targeted. The intention of the Trail Blazers coaching staff is very clear, which is to solve the various problems that arise in the third game.

The first problem they solved was to adapt to the venue. The Trail Blazers players played twice in the Auburn Palace Arena and lost all of them. This place is not like the Great Western Forum Arena where they have completely adapted. The baskets, floors, and especially the noise and shouting of the audience made everyone feel uncomfortable.

For this reason, the coaching staff thought of a solution. Kalp got a tape from an amateur documentary shooter. The shooter wanted to shoot a documentary about the finals. There was a live high-definition recording of the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena. After Kalp bought the tape, he started to play it out with a treble speaker during training. For a while, the noise in the training hall and swear words were flying all over the sky, and the players instantly seemed to have arrived at the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena.

Do players' names still appear in the audio? Naturally, some swear words are followed by them, which can start to scare the Trail Blazers players. After all, this is in the training hall, and everyone will soon adapt and will basically never be affected by these off-court factors.

During training, Adelman and Bellman provided separate guidance to each player, discussing and communicating in detail on the problems that occurred in the previous game, and striving to face these problems better and more calmly when encountering the same problems in the next game.

During the entire playoffs, the Trail Blazers lost two games in total and did not lose in a row. The closest to their losing streak was the fourth game against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. That game was extremely difficult, and finally survived. Before that game, the Trail Blazers also made extremely sufficient and meticulous preparations, carefully trying to communicate, arrange and practice with each player.

The same is true today. This is also the style of the Trail Blazers. It is also the style of Riley's high oppression and good at inspiring people. Daly's father-in-law style is different from the players. Adelman's Trail Blazers is a team that pursues details, controls rhythm, and pursues countering opponents technically and tactically. Although it seems to be a passionate and open-minded offensive team, in fact, their control of rhythm and details is the best in the entire league.

As the only player who performed normally and had no problems to be solved, Gan Guoyang was abandoned and practiced three-pointers alone in the opposite court. For the coaching staff, Gan Guoyang never had to worry about it. Now that his tacit understanding with Adelman has reached the point of Adelman's look, he knows what he wants to go up and do. Adelman also has enough confidence in him. Many times, whether to suspend on the court depends on Gan Guoyang's decision.

While Gan Guoyang was practicing three-pointers from all angles, he was very concerned about looking at the opponent from time to time. He saw Bellman carefully and carefully guiding Sabonis some defensive details and teaching him how to deal with the old hooligan Lanbill.

Compared to when he first arrived at the Trail Blazers a few years ago, Bellmann had a few more gray hairs on his head. In this team, he has become an important right-hand man for Adelman from a cautious assistant to now. Sometimes players are afraid that Bellman is even more afraid than Adelman because Bellman is so awesome to scold people.

However, the changes that Bellman brought to the Trail Blazers are visible. It can even be said that Bellman injected style into this Trail Blazers. The characteristics of the Trail Blazers are actually the characteristics that Bellman had when coaching. He attached great importance to details and was good at accumulating advantages from every detail to finally win, because whether he was coaching girls' high school, Palo Alto or Gonzaga, his players were all mediocre, and there was only one treasure like Gan Guoyang, so he had to pay attention to details and make good use of every advantage to fight against his opponent's talents.

After arriving at the Trail Blazers, Adelman was good at exploring talents, and Bellman was good at creating details. The combination of the two's strengths created such a team of the strongest in history. Therefore, Gan Guoyang was very proud of telling Bellman to apply for the Trail Blazers. He did change this team.

The training of the day was extremely fulfilling. After the end, everyone had supper together and discussed tactical details in the hotel in the evening. The players went to bed early and rested, and no one went out to stroll and have fun.

The team staff gave each player an earplug and an eye mask, hoping that the players could have a good sleep at night. At the same time, in order to prevent the fire brigade from suddenly appearing in special situations such as "extinguishing the fire", except for the players and coaches, other staff did not sleep, but stayed outside the room. After the early morning, the staff went into the room to sleep.

When the Trail Blazers got up early on June 11, they were all full of energy, but several staff members were a little depressed. Then in the morning, the whole team conducted simple shooting exercises and tactical exercises, and in the afternoon, they went to the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena for adaptive training. What was waiting for everyone was the fourth game of the finals.

……………………

At 7 p.m. Eastern Time on June 11, the fourth game of the 1989 NBA Finals continued in Detroit. Today is the weekend. According to statistics, the ratings of the finals reached 16%, setting a new historical record since statistics. The highest record in CBS TV started in 1976 was the third battle between the Celtics and the Lakers in 1987, and that rating reached 15.9%.

The Trail Blazers players continued to appear in the Auburn Mountain Arena, which was filled with noise. When DJ introduced Gan Guoyang, the whole audience was booed because at this time, China had been criticized and sanctioned by many countries for square time, so Gan Guoyang naturally could not avoid being affected. However, Gan Guoyang's expression was extremely calm, and the other players were also very calm like Gan Guoyang, not at all, and they did not have the same discomfort as they did in the last game.

When the Pistons players entered the court and the atmosphere was ignited, the Trail Blazers players formed a circle on the sidelines and began to encourage themselves, as if they were blocking everything around them outside.

When the players on both sides stood on the floor of Auburn Hill Palace Arena again, the Pistons players could clearly feel that the Blazers were different from the previous game. At this time, they seemed not in Auburn Hill, but in the Memorial Stadium, and everyone had a very calm face.

Ranbir continued to compete with Sabonis in the middle circle, while Gan Guoyang put his waist on his back, revealing his hard iron elbow, and stepped between Rick Mahon and Terry Porter.

At the beginning of the last game, Rick Mahon took advantage of the opportunity of "competing" with Porter to knock Porter down and gave the Trail Blazers a warning. So this time Gan Guoyang stood beside Mahon and warned him not to have any unreasonable thoughts.

As a famous villain in the league, Rick Mahon has one of the most powerful big butts in the league, but he still dares to fight head-on with the league's "king of power". In the first three games, Mahon was completely abused by Gan Guoyang, and he could not limit this MVP.

Ma Hong glanced at Gan Guoyang, and finally withdrew his gaze, and some small thoughts in his heart were also put away.

After confirming that both sides were ready and greeted the technical station, the referee of this game took the ball to the center circle and threw the ball into the air.
Chapter completed!
