Chapter 104: Beheading

The second quarter ended with both sides evenly matched.

Although physical contacts between the two teams increased and their actions grew larger, the overall situation was still under control.

The Pistons inside defense couldn't stop Gan Guoyang, but no matter how much Guoyang scored, their defensive line didn't collapse.

They were disciplined, their fortress solid; aside from Ah Gan, the other Trail Blazers weren't shooting well.

On offense, focusing on outside attacks, the Pistons did their best to avoid Gan Guoyang's strong defense.

Another point was the game tempo control, where Adrian Dantley's ability to draw fouls was truly first-class.

Twice, just as the Trail Blazers began to quicken the pace, Dantley charged to the basket to draw fouls and went to the free-throw line.

Dantley was particularly slow at free throws, by the time he finished, the Trail Blazers' counterattack rhythm would be disrupted.
