After the timeout, the 76ers strengthened their ball movement and increased their outside attack, abandoning the impact on the inside line.
Actually, everyone knows that facing the Trail Blazers, once you abandon the impact on the inside line, you've already lost half of the game.
Especially during the seven-time champion period for the Trail Blazers, giving up scoring in the three-second zone already means handing over the initiative of the court.
If the offense cannot flourish inside and out, it will certainly be greatly restricted, which is the foundation of the Trail Blazers' strength, built on Gan Guoyang's superior inside defensive ability.
But the 76ers, or many teams, have no way around it; Ah Gan's deterrence at the basket is indeed too strong. Blindly attacking inside is just giving away points.
It's better to get a feel for shooting early in the game, ideally develop a three-point shooting touch, so later on, there's leverage to negotiate with Ah Gan.
