The Golden Age of Basketball

"Did you 'fuck' women in Portland?"

"No."

"You live here by yourself. If you are so famous and rich, there must be a lot of young girls who are up to you!"

"...But I just don't have one..."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"The answer is so fast, it must have been arranged long ago! I heard that nb's stars are all playboys!"

"How come, Clyde is a good man, and Vandeweghe, and Mitchell, this is not Los Angeles, and the Blazers are not the Lakers."

"Then if you were in Los Angeles and played for the Lakers, would you be spoiled by them?"[

"Why would I go to Los Angeles to play? Besides, even if I go to Los Angeles, it's still your home. Your parents are all there, so how dare I mess around."

"Then my parents are not in Portland! Do you dare to 'chaos'!"

"..."

"Why don't you speak? Are you guilty..."

"You drive carefully! It's late at night! Cross the bridge, don't fall into the river!"

On the last night of 84, on the streets of Portland, an enlarged white Opel vuxhll-nov was running. When passing the Willamette River Bridge, the front of the car tilted and almost fell into the river. to go.

The car stopped by the bridge, and the two people in the car were still in shock.

"Don't caress like this. I've always been fine. In my life, there are only relatives, friends, and basketball, and there are no other dirty things mixed in."

"I know...but I'm still worried, you know, I don't feel safe when you're not around all the time."

"Otherwise, you should stop studying. I earn enough money to support the two of us. It's okay to get married. When you move to Portland, you can often watch my games."

"No! I'm going to finish college, I'm not like you, drop out, illiterate!"

"..."

"Let's go, I'll drive well."

The Opel car was on the road again, and it was much more stable now.

The two people in the car were Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi, but it was Wang Fuxi who was driving. [

Because the whole United States is on holiday for Christmas, Wang Fuxi came to Portland to spend Christmas and New Year with Gan Guoyang.

Since Gan Guoyang became a professional player, Wang Fuxi insisted on his studies, so the two have been together less and more apart.

Although Spokane is relatively close to Portland, if Gan Guoyang reimburses the air ticket, it is not a problem for Wang Fuxi to come every week, but Gan Guoyang is not often in Portland, but flies all over the United States. Leading a tense professional player life.

During this Christmas holiday, Wang Fuxi finally found a large amount of time to accompany Gan Guoyang, but the two who hadn't seen each other for a long time inevitably had some conflicts.

Gan Guoyang was still obsessed with training as usual, which made Wang Fuxi very dissatisfied. She lived alone in Portland and was unfamiliar with the place. Without Gan Guoyang's company, she felt very lonely.

So in the car, Wang Fuxi began to make trouble with Gan Guoyang to vent his dissatisfaction.

And Gan Guoyang also felt very helpless. He decided that he must spare time to learn to drive. It was too unreliable to let a woman drive.

After returning to the house in the west district, Gan Guoyang found out that Wang Fuxi had cooked a table of Chinese dishes waiting for him at home, and he felt a little guilty.

"I'm sorry, I really forgot the time today." Gan Guoyang put his arms around Wang Fuxi gently, and said in her ear.

"Hmph~" Wang Fuxi felt her face flushed all of a sudden, although the two had been together for a long time, every time Gan Guoyang talked to her gently, Wang Fuxi always felt embarrassed.

"Who can I learn to cook from? Let me have a taste!" Looking at the brightly colored Chinese dishes on the table, Gan Guoyang not only twitched his index finger.

Since Gan Youwei left and returned to San Francisco, Gan Guoyang has not had a good meal of Chinese food in Portland for a long time, and he has always been too lazy to cook.

"Wait to eat! The dishes are cold, let me reheat them for you~" Wang Fuxi took all the dishes on the table back to the kitchen to reheat them.

After the dishes were reheated, Gan Guoyang felt quite satisfied eating the dishes made by Wang Fuxi.

"Well, not bad, I have [-]% of my dad's skill, and I can eat!" Gan Guoyang said while eating, not knowing whether to praise her or hurt her.

"It's only [-]%~ You don't know that in the United States, this level can already open a restaurant! Some Chinese restaurant dishes are unpalatable." Wang Fuxi was obviously dissatisfied with Gan Guoyang's evaluation.

"Ha, after I retire, I will open a restaurant called Ganwang Restaurant! I promise to sweep the American catering market, and let McDonald's and Burger King all go to the garbage dump!" Gan Guoyang ate half full and began to blow his breath.

Seeing Gan Guoyang's energetic appearance, Wang Fuxi laughed out loud. She always felt that Gan Guoyang now was a little different from when she first met her.

"Gan, do you feel that you are different from before?" Wang Fuxi looked at Gan Guoyang and asked.

Gan Guoyang was taken aback when he heard this, "It's different? What's the difference? Has it grown taller? Or become more handsome?"

"I remember when I first met you, you were sad every day because you lost the championship in the high school league, and you went shopping with me, and you were always worried. Then you went to college and played basketball wholeheartedly. At that time, I felt that you were always calm and old-fashioned, whether it was in normal times or on the court, you were always so calm. Now... I think you are much more cheerful, and you are no longer worried every day. Although you are still obsessed with playing basketball, but People are more cheerful, and a lot cuter!" Wang Fuxi rolled her two big eyes, recalling the past experiences of the two.

After listening to Wang Fuxi's words, Gan Guoyang realized that he had indeed changed a lot.

When he first came to the United States and came to this time and space, he always felt that he was having a dream, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

Walking on the street, looking at the scenery of the 80s, he often mistakenly believes that he was born in a movie, that he is like Truman in "The Truman Show", everything is a scene.

Now, time is coming to 1985, and he has been in this time and space of the United States for three years, and the memory of later generations is becoming less and less imprinted in his mind.

On the contrary, the square box-like car, 17-inch color TV, big-eared telephone, checkered suit, toad mirror, flared trousers, and the colorful life of the 80s began to be engraved in Gan Guoyang's life.

He began to get used to life without the Internet, used to take time out every day to watch "Detective Hunter", watch TV series such as "Three Living Treasures", and used to wear those clothes that he thought were outrageous.

After entering the professional league of nb, Gan Guoyang finally began to integrate into this era, and his personality began to become more cheerful and optimistic.

"Maybe, after all, playing basketball every day makes me feel very happy!" Gan Guoyang said with a smile.

"You just know how to play basketball! After you retire, what can you do?" Wang Fuxi was still a basketball fan in high school, and now her obsession with basketball has gradually diminished.

"Be a basketball coach!" Gan Guoyang blurted out.

"You're not an American, what kind of coach are you?" Wang Fuxi said.

"If you are not an American, you can't be a coach? Then I still play in the United States. Besides, I am not a naturalized American. I will play for China in the future." On the issue of nationality, Gan Guoyang has always been very persistent. naturalized in the United States.

And now that he has a green card from the United States, whether he is an American citizen or not has no effect on his life.

"Hey Forrest Gump, tell me, what is China like now? I always hear people say that China is terrible."

"China...it's a place full of hope...You know, it has a long history and a lot of suffering, but everything will pass soon, and I believe the people there will use their own hands, like Like their ancestors, they created greater brilliance..." Gan Guoyang thought, China at this time is on the road of rapid progress, although the road ahead is still full of thorns.

At this time, the road for the Portland Trail Blazers is also not smooth.

After spending a wonderful New Year's Eve with Wang Fuxi, Gan Guoyang came to the training center early in the new year on January 1 and began to prepare for the first game of the new year.

In the game on the 29th, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in the same city 113:107 at home, improving their record to 22 wins and 10 losses. While achieving seven consecutive victories, they surpassed the Portland Trail Blazers and jumped to the Pacific Region No. [-], and regained the top spot in the Western District.

Because of division rules, the Trail Blazers ranked second in the West in terms of record, but they were squeezed to third in the rankings, behind the Lakers and Nuggets.

If they lose the No. 1 game, the gap between them and the Lakers will be further widened. What's more, after this game, the Blazers will challenge the Lakers again in the next game.

In order to be able to take the lead in the battle for the top spot, the Blazers must do their best to win this game.

But the Blazers' opponents in this game are not easy to deal with. They will face their Eastern opponents from afar, the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

In the last game against the 76ers, Gan Guoyang was suspended for punching Lambir and did not play.

The Blazers were also at an absolute disadvantage in the interior, were exploded with more than 20 rebounds, and lost to their opponents in the away game.

There are only two hand-off opportunities between the Eastern and Western teams in a season, so this game will be the only chance for the Blazers to avenge the 76ers this season.

In the pre-match training, Ramsey repeatedly emphasized the control of rebounds. He repeatedly yelled "Take rebounds like gold!" in the training center.

At 06:30 p.m. PT, the Portland Memorial Coliseum was packed for 32 consecutive games.

After all, in this game, the Blazers are facing the once luxurious division, the Philadelphia 76ers, the king of the East.

Although the 1983ers began to decline gradually after winning the championship in 76, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. This season, the 76ers are in quite good condition. all good.

It seems that they are recovering from the tragedy of being eliminated by the Nets in the first round in 1984.

As the rising upstart this season, the Trail Blazers were killed by the 76ers at Spectrum Stadium in the last game. Naturally, 1 people were not convinced.

Now that the main center Gan Guoyang is back, and he is at home again, of course he has to take revenge.

"Control your rebounds, Gan. In this game, you must control the opponent's offensive rebounds, control them! Even if you don't score a point, I have no problem." The game is about to start. After Ramsey finished other arrangements , holding Gan Guoyang's ear and said.

As a rookie, Gan Guoyang ranked first in the league in rebounds per game, and became the temporary rookie data king with Jordan.

"I'll try my best." Gan Guoyang nodded and said.

"Do your best? I'm not asking you to tell me here 'I tried my best, but this is the only way', you must, I want you to control it!" Ramsey yelled.

Gan Guoyang could only nod again.

If it was a game against another team, Gan Guoyang would have said loudly, "No problem, I will kill them!"

But today he is facing the center of the Philadelphia 76ers, Gan Guoyang's half idol-Moses Malone, and Gan Guoyang's familiar bald head and big mouth-Charles Barkley.

The inside line of the Philadelphia 76ers is probably the only team in the league shorter than the inside line of the Portland Trail Blazers.

马龙6尺10，巴克利只有6尺5或者6尺6，比开拓者的两个6尺10都要矮。

But this inside combination is more terrifying than any inside combination in the entire league, because they are humanoid tanks on the field.

This season, Malone and Barkley can average 81 offensive rebounds per game. What is this concept?The Blazers team averaged 16 offensive rebounds per game, and Malone and Barkley grabbed half of the Blazers team.

That means these two guys create 76 more second-chance opportunities per game for the 8ers.

Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang felt that there was a long way to go on his shoulders. He missed the chance to play against them last time, and he couldn't let them continue to do whatever they wanted in the Memorial Gymnasium tonight.

"Good evening, young man." Gan Guoyang stood in the middle circle, and Moses Malone on the opposite side suddenly said.

But Malone's words were full of local Virginia accent, which seemed vague. Gan Guoyang didn't understand what he was talking about, and the referee threw the ball into the air at this moment.

Moses Malone took the lead and won the ball.

The game officially begins.

Moses Malone's seemingly honest and slow-moving image immediately became treacherous and cunning in Gan Guoyang's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Moses Malone once again taught Gan Guoyang a lesson. He quickly took a position in the low post and firmly stuck Gan Guoyang behind him.

This is the first time Gan Guoyang has played against Moses, and the feeling of playing against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is completely different. The power of Moses Malone has made Gan Guoyang feel "unmovable" for the first time.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded.

After Ma Long received the ball, he pulled it up directly. Gan Guoyang's hand hit Moses' arm and was called a foul by the referee.

Bad start, Gan Guoyang fouled on the first defense.

But the whistle also calmed Gan Guoyang. He got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind and wanted to fight the 76ers' tanks.
