After three tugs, Petrović had a clear front, and he decisively took a three-point shot after receiving the ball, and the ball went through the net - it's a three-pointer!
Memorial Coliseum erupted in joy, with a splendid team offense, smooth passing, and cannon-like three-pointers.
This Trail Blazers team indeed has something new, as reigning champions, they have not ceased to reinvent themselves.
Not only did this three-pointer reestablish a 5-point lead, but it also greatly dampened the Rockets' momentum to catch up.
Olajuwon didn't give up, scoring a two-pointer with a difficult fadeaway jumper even as Ah Gan almost blocked his view.
In the most crucial offense, the Trail Blazers still chose to trust their ace.
Gan Guoyang received the ball in the low post, and the Rockets' defense hesitated, to double-team or not?
After a moment's hesitation, Gan Guoyang feinted with a fake move, turned swiftly and, with his body leaning forward, shot a jumper.
