Both teams entered more than three minutes of chaos. Coaches made substitutions to give the main players a chance to rest while keeping the game from collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Jackson put anyone who could slightly play onto the court, including veterans like John Salley, allowing the core players some resting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Gan Guoyang wouldn't have rested even for a minute tonight, but even he needed to step off to catch his breath, let Barkley substitute for a while, then return to the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With five minutes left in the third quarter, Gan Guoyang took a break for over a minute and then returned to the court, determined to end the game in one shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was without warning, as Gan Guoyang quietly switched modes upon reentering the game. After securing a defensive rebound, he dribbled aggressively into the frontcourt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accelerating suddenly beyond the three-point line and rushing into the basket against O'Neal's defense, he scored a layup and caused O'Neal to foul, scoring again with the free throw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, O'Neal countered with a turn-around dunk. The Trail Blazers quickly made a fast pass, Gan Guoyang dribbled himself on the outside, directly shooting a three-pointer from the left 45-degree angle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high arc quickly fell, precisely hitting the net without touching the rim, a three-pointer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang had shifted from center to small forward, once again catching the Lakers off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jackson didn't dare call another timeout as doing so might run out; the players had to solve problems themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>O'Neal was in form again, taking the ball for a strong attack under the basket, but Gan Guoyang immediately chased back, passed, and delivered a fast break dunk to score!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the referee were stricter, Holi would have been fouled, but Crawford let the Lakers off easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they couldn't pass to O'Neal; Jide took a shot himself but missed, while Barkley grabbed the rebound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long pass reached Gan Guoyang, who rushed into the frontcourt. Holi and Tracy McGrady tried to stop him, but were pushed aside by Gan Guoyang's Wild Bull charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charging into the basket, laying it up with McGrady and Holi hanging onto him, he scores this time with a referee whistle for a foul and a bonus free throw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden fast-paced offense-defense switch and fast break into the basket caught the Lakers completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has consistently scored 11 points! Gan Guoyang already had 21 points in the third quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three quarters not yet done, he scored 48 points, widening the Trail Blazers' lead to 15 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang panted heavily. This sudden outburst was quite exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew the Lakers hadn't collapsed yet, he still had to push on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jide utilized a quick advance to find the opportunity, passing straight down to Fisher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisher attempted a reverse layup but was disrupted by Kobe—who excelled defensively tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calmly, he didn't fight Gan Guoyang for shooting rights; instead, focused intensely on defense, rebounds, and steals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the counterattack, Gan Guoyang received a pass from Kobe. On the left at a 45-degree angle, he aimed for another three-pointer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holi and Tracy McGrady both lunged to block, but Gan Guoyang pulled a fake, surged into the basket, halted, and made a short-range two-pointer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lakers' defense was completely scrambled, from formation to match-ups, and even hesitated at Ah Gan's possession and chaos ensued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor shooting touch can recover slowly, but once defense falters, it causes great trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three periods, Gan Guoyang astonishingly scored 50 points, with all his shots and free throws successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerry West, Johnson, Jabbar, and several other celebrated Lakers looked grim-faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They regretted coming tonight. Couldn't they wait for news at home or watch TV?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it's come to this. Back when playing, they got thrashed by Ah Gan. Even after retirement, they were made into a backdrop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last offense in the third period, when Gan Guoyang grabbed the ball, the Lakers players were out of options, opting to foul directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cracked; their mentality had completely collapsed. This guy Ah Gan was uncanny tonight—hitting everything without misses—not even human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to defend? Foul him; sending him to the free-throw line, though gifting points, preserved some dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two free throws both hit, Trail Blazers lead Lakers by 17 points; Gan Guoyang scored 52 points in three quarters, 21-of-21 shooting, 100% accuracy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such performances rank among top-tier shows even in Gan Guoyang's long, illustrious basketball career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other star performances weren't even close; none were effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang's outstanding state was one thing; the Lakers' defense was fundamentally flawed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting back on the bench, Gan Guoyang called over Carl: \"What did I tell you, wasn't wrong, trust me, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl nodded, sincerely saying: \"Ah Gan, you're incredible, truly incredible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",817,"2026-06-06T01:42:07.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","e6a851e335a5a51a23869dc50df21e88d71ae6274d736ebea975b32c92baed5f","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1795","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1793",2033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-age-of-basketball-cover.jpg"]
