บท 365: Chapter 99 Portland Night

The Trail Blazers lost the second game 109:115. The defeat was expected, as the Celtics wouldn't allow both home games to slip away.

In the battle for pace control, the Celtics emerged victorious, constantly accelerating the game speed and doubling down on Guoyang Gan, even at the risk of committing fouls.

They forced the Trail Blazers' offense towards Drexler, who initially managed to maintain the rhythm but gradually lost his grip as the game progressed.

After all, speed was his forte, and Drexler would seize any opportunity for a fast break when possible.

Gan Guoyang still contributed splendidly on defense, but the Celtics rose to the challenge—Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish relentlessly attacked the basket, testing Gan Guoyang's rim protection.

Throughout the game, Gan Guoyang amassed eight blocks, but the Celtics also gained from their tactics, drawing fouls on him repeatedly.
