The Celtics' defense surrounds Gan Guoyang, letting Kobe come in to score two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back, the Trail Blazers immediately employ a foul tactic on the Celtics, and Nash steps up to the free throw line, making both shots. 95:85.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash's free throw accuracy is very high, giving him free throws is like gifting points, but the Trail Blazers need time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unusually, the Trail Blazers have Sabonis dribble past mid-court, reaching the top of the arc, and Gan Guoyang comes to receive the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Sabonis's large body as a screen, Gan Guoyang takes a step from beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc and directly shoots a three-pointer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shot decides the fate of the game, if it goes in, the Trail Blazers have a chance; if not, it's over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the ball draws a beautiful arc and hits the mark accurately! It's in! 95:88, the gap is now 7 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celtics are not rushing; the Trail Blazers continue to foul, this time Paul Pierce is on the free throw line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pierce is also clutch, making both free throws as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>97:88, a 9-point gap, the Trail Blazers need time, need speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Sabonis dribbles past mid-court, the Celtics come to double-team, and the Trail Blazers cannot afford any mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabonis immediately passes the ball to Kobe, who breaks through the middle to draw defenders and passes to Brellock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brellock passes again, giving it to Gan Guoyang at the left corner, a position Gan Guoyang rarely comes to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the ball, he shoots directly against Fox's defense! The arc of the ball is beautiful, but after descending, it hits the edge of the rim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang's heart tightens; if it doesn't go in, it's over. However, because of the high arc, the ball still falls downward, and drops into the hoop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's in! Another three-pointer! 97:91, the gap is now just 6 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rose Garden Arena is in celebration, and Beelman immediately calls a timeout. Can't let Ah Gan keep shooting like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 minute, 6 points, hope for victory resurfaces, Gan Guoyang comes off to drink water, he breathes a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the second shot was lucky; corner three-point shooting is not Gan Guoyang's forte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can't guarantee shots like when he was younger, saying he can definitely make them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he can only shoot with a bit of luck, feeling thankful inwardly for good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news is he feels his shooting touch is back, finally back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm is good too; in just three plays, everyone is quickly coming together to strive for a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beelman repeatedly emphasized defense, needing to closely mark Ah Gan, while Rick Carlisle laid out tactics to create opportunities for Ah Gan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after the timeout ended and the game resumed, the Celtics inbound the ball, and the Trail Blazers stop fouling, opting for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crucial defense, the nerves of the whole arena are taut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash receives the ball, with continuous passing outside, finally getting it to the left low post for Tim Duncan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shot might determine the game's outcome, Duncan aggressively attacks Gan Guoyang in the low post!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan is in a good state, with continuous turns and dribbling, finding an opening, shooting with a semi-hook and semi-push with his right hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiming at the white box of the backboard, the shot feels good, but due to five fouls, Gan Guoyang doesn't dare to apply force on defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kobe from the side comes to help, jumps high, and once again blocks Duncan's shot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan quickly guards the ball mid-air, but Gan Guoyang also reacts quickly and grabs the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both struggling for the ball, the referee quickly blows the whistle for a jump ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan is quite exasperated, the ball got blocked from behind by Kobe again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the jump ball at the free throw circle with Ah Gan, both almost touch the ball simultaneously, but Gan Guoyang's fingers are stronger, tapping the ball to Sabonis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabonis uses his height to secure the ball, controls possession, then passes the ball to Kobe, who quickly crosses mid-court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan no longer stays under the basket, closely following Gan Guoyang throughout, not letting him receive the ball outside the three-point line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang tries hard to shake off Duncan, receiving the ball two steps outside the three-point line, then immediately charges inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan sticks close, and at this moment, Gan Guoyang suddenly stops abruptly, steps back, and shoots forcibly from outside the three-point line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-difficulty shot, Duncan doesn't dare to be careless, going all out to block, resulting in an inability to stop his momentum, colliding with Gan Guoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee blows the whistle immediately; the foul is too obvious, and Steve Javie also wants to make up a little, fearing post-game reactions from the fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan fouls on the three-pointer, yet the ball still flies precisely towards the hoop, swishing through! It's in! Three-pointer made along with a bonus free throw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang has a chance for a four-point play, the scene again falls into frenzy, the magical Ah Gan with three consecutive three-pointers, plus a four-point play!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duncan looks helpless, closing his eyes in reflection, what the heck is this? Why would I foul? The usually calm Duncan can't stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Guoyang steps to the free throw line, makes the bonus free throw, 97:95, the gap instantly closes to 2 points, with still 26 seconds remaining in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Celtics have no timeouts left, the Trail Blazers have one remaining, the Celtics must score; otherwise, they will leave the Trail Blazers time for a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beelman loudly directs from the sidelines, instructing Steve Nash to pass the ball to Paul Pierce, but the scene is too noisy, Nash seemingly doesn't hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dribbles past mid-court, waiting outside for time, even if he exhausts the 24 seconds it won't do, leaving 2 seconds for the Trail Blazers to call a timeout they can definitely go for a game-winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must find a way to score, score once, this game for the Celtics will be as good as nailed down, they are still in the advantageous position.\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-06T01:42:07.838Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a96735e3303cfaeec7c9632fde5fdb6f3e3f3154e0063553e12a56f95f8d7f4","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1825","the-golden-age-of-basketball-chapter-1823",2033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-age-of-basketball-cover.jpg"]
