When the game finally began, the Trail Blazers were indeed suppressed by the Heat from the start.
Without their three core players, the Trail Blazers were no longer a championship-caliber team, just an ordinary squad.
In some plays, they could still resist, but overall, in the long run, without Gan Guoyang playing, they were doomed to lose.
In the first quarter, the Heat led 30 to 21, ahead of the Trail Blazers by 9 points, and the Trail Blazers had already put up their toughest resistance.
Terry Porter and Sabonis dragged their injured legs, tangling with Olajuwon and Drexler.
The Heat is a typical defensive team, relying mainly on individual abilities for offense, and clinging tenaciously on defense.
They have a miraculous effect against sharp teams, significantly strong, but against weaker opponents, they often don't show a huge advantage.
