Chapter 87: Metamorphosis

The fated showdown between Olajuwon and Gan Guoyang reached a new climax in the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals.

During halftime, Bill Fitch redefined the strategy as the three victories of full-court press and immediate counter-stealing had become ineffective.

Ramsay did not seem ready to sub out Terry Porter and Drexler. Both of them were fast, strong, with excellent physical condition.

Especially Terry Porter, when he assisted Drexler, the Glider became much more stable.

Because Jim Paxson was essentially a shooting guard, that traditional type who moves without the ball and cuts to the basket.

The pressure of handling the ball was too much for Drexler, and he could not keep up.

Although Porter was a rookie, he was a standard point guard.

Moreover, he was calm, with excellent mental quality, and he did a good job of managing the play.

His backcourt partnership with Drexler provided the Trail Blazers with a stable initial pass.
