The Golden Age of Basketball

"Hold the ball, turn around, hook! Go in! There is no suspense in the game. The 76ers called a timeout. There are still 4 minutes before the end of the game. The Blazers have already led by 116 points at 99:17. Gan's goal basically Announced the early end of the game. Ramsey is definitely going to replace Gan, he has stayed in the fourth quarter long enough. The fans at the scene stood up, applauded and cheered for Gan! 31 points, 22 rebounds , 4 assists, 3 blocks, mvp-level data, all the players on the bench stepped forward to give him high fives, he is the unworthy mvp of this game!"

Gan Guoyang's performance in this game was perfect. The data of 31 points and 22 rebounds was not his best data, but he experienced the feeling of controlling the game for the first time.

At the beginning of the second half, he used a foul to make Moses Malone sit on the bench, disrupting the 76ers' tactical arrangements.

Immediately afterwards, Gan Guoyang scored consecutively on the offensive end, forcing the 76ers to double-team, thereby releasing the pressure on the Blazers' outside line, and the Blazers began to fully suppress the 76ers on offense.

The Blazers' ability to play against the wind has not been really tested, but they are good at playing against the wind.

Drexler initially showed his terrible offensive ability when he was pulling points along the score. In the third quarter, the fast break led by him gave the old 76ers a heavy blow.

They once widened the point difference to 18 points. Even if Moses Malone reappeared in the second half of the third quarter, he could not stop the tide of the Blazers' fast break.

In the fourth quarter, the revived 76ers organized a final counterattack. Malone repeatedly attacked the Blazers inside with four fouls on his back. Together with Barkley, he wanted to break up the Blazers inside. Go all out.

But Gan Guoyang once again played with rock-solid stability, firmly controlled the rebounds in the backcourt, and did not get himself into foul trouble. [

Although he couldn't completely restrict Moses Malone who was in a state of madness, he also didn't allow Moses Malone to play a crazy performance of "shooting, grabbing, shooting again, grabbing again, shooting again, grabbing, and making a shot". The 76ers' strategy of relying on crazy offensive rebounds to restore the situation and morale failed.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Gan Guoyang stood up again, facing the seasoned Moses Malone, and once again scored 7 points in a row, including a 21, causing Moses Malone to commit 5 fouls.

Gan Guoyang's powerful scoring explosive ability was fully demonstrated in the game.

This combined punch was also a fatal blow to the 76ers, completely widening the point difference, and the suspense of the game was lost. Ramsey replaced Gan Guoyang to accept the cheers of the audience.

"It was a wonderful game. Gan's performance brought infinite reverie to people. I believe that in time, he will be one of the best centers in the league." Crouch did not hesitate to praise himself. Words, as a senior basketball commentator, Crouch can feel that Gan Guoyang vaguely has the style of a general.

"The game is over! The Trail Blazers defeated the powerful Philadelphia 76ers at home in the New Year. They are closely following the Los Angeles Lakers in the rankings, ranking No.2 in the Pacific District. It is a wonderful game. Let us take a look at the live reporters. Gan's interview, his excellent performance in this game is the key to the Blazers winning the game."

"Gan, what do you think of your performance in this game?" Gan Guoyang, as the best player in the game, naturally had to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"My mind is very clear today. I feel like I am playing chess. I have a clear idea of ​​what to do and how to move every step. I think this is a huge improvement for me. I am very happy , Of course I think Mr. Ramsey will be happier." Gan Guoyang did not forget to tease the head coach.

"We saw during the game that you often say something to Barkley. Are you two good friends?" The reporter asked a tricky question. He naturally knew that Barkley and Gan Guoyang should be talking trash. Ask this to create a selling point.

"I think after this game, we should be good friends...haha, if he wants to. He's a great player. We both entered the nb this year. This is the first time we played against each other. I haven't encountered it in college. I believe he will become a great player and opponent." Gan Guoyang rounded up his words well.

Gan Guoyang was not the only one who was interviewed after the game. At the press conference after the game, the head coach of the 76ers and Irving also accepted questions from reporters.

"The rhythm of our game was completely disrupted. The Blazers controlled the situation of the game. In several critical periods, someone from the Blazers always stood up to control the direction of the game, and Moses' foul problem made us somewhat in the rotation. In short, this game disappointed me, and I don’t think I should be beaten like this by an opponent of the same level.” Cunningham did not hide his disappointment.

After the disastrous defeat of the defending season last season, the 76ers were full of ambitions and prepared to hit the championship again, but Cunningham found that this team may no longer be able to gather a strong will to be a champion, so a feeling of retirement is also in him. heart rises.

And the game against the Trail Blazers made him feel the fear of young people even more. He had secretly decided in his heart to leave the position of head coach at the end of the season.

"They played great, we encountered a lot of trouble, I have never liked the Memorial Stadium, here are a lot of bad memories, but I still hope to play here next time, and beat the opponent." Irving was Asked about the game, he said the Memorial Coliseum has always been a place he hated. [

"What do you think of Gan's performance this time, and what do you think of his performance in his rookie year?" Another reporter asked.

"He is the most outstanding rookie player I have ever met besides the magician. I believe he will become a superstar." For Gan Guoyang, Irving praised him greatly, and even said that he is the most outstanding player besides the magician. For a "colorful" rookie, you must know that Magic Johnson is the mvp of the rookie finals.

Irving was also one of the main reasons why Magic Johnson entered the league back then. When Johnson was hesitating whether to end his college career early and enter the NBA, Irving took Johnson to the locker room of the NBA team and told him what professional basketball is. Doubt encouraged Johnson.

Of course, Irving did not expect that it was because of his encouragement that Johnson entered the nb early and took away his two championship trophies.

Now, he is still supporting rookies. It has to be said that as the benchmark figure of nb in the late 70s and early 80s, Irving has the demeanor of a superstar.

A perfect game ended like this. Gan Guoyang was about to pack up his things and go home with Wang Fuxi, but he met a man at the door of the locker room.

It was a little white old man with old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses who looked like an old pedant, and beside him stood Inman, the general manager of the Blazers.

"Mr. Weinberg..." Gan Guoyang recognized the little old man. He was the general manager of the Blazers, Larry Weinberg.

In 1970, Weinberg and two other friends spent $370 million to join the nb and founded the Trail Blazers in Portland.

In 1975, Weinberg became the team's largest shareholder and the Blazers' big boss, and he has been in control of the team ever since.

When Gan Guoyang first came to the Trail Blazers, he had seen this little old man at the fan meeting and signing conference. After Gan Guoyang knew it, he worked for this boss.

After that, the two did not have much intersection. Not every team owner will take the magician to spend time in Los Angeles like Jerry Buss, and not every boss will be like Cuban later. "fan".

This shrewd businessman who started his career in real estate never got up early, and he wouldn't just run to the locker room if he had nothing to do.

"Hi Gan, your performance tonight is really good, it seems that Inman made the right choice." Weinberg said with a smile, while looking at Inman behind him.

"Thank you Mr. Weinberg, this is what I should do." Gan Guoyang responded politely.

"Well, I'm here to invite you to dinner. I don't think it's too late. Your agent, Mr. Falk, is also here. We can communicate together." Weinberg patted Gan Guoyang's shoulder said.

"What the hell is this guy Falk doing..." Gan Guoyang suddenly remembered the cheating match arranged by Falk.

Since signing with Nike, Falk settled the contract between Gan Guoyang and the Blazers, and then ran back to Florida.

Occasionally he would call to exchange some information with Gan Guoyang, but Gan Guoyang was busy with training and competitions, had no financial problems, and rarely approached Falk on his own initiative.

Now that Falk suddenly appeared, Gan Guoyang knew that he must find trouble for him.

But since Weinberg had already come forward, of course Gan Guoyang didn't want to embarrass the team owner, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Bring your girlfriend, don't let her wait for you at home alone, it doesn't feel good." Knowing that Wang Fuxi was also here, Weinberg added another sentence.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang took Wang Fuxi to a restaurant in Portland in Weinberg's luxurious Lincoln.

Although it is a common cultural custom for Chinese people to discuss matters over meals, it does not mean that Americans do not solve problems at the dinner table.

There are differences in different national cultures, but there are always some things in common.

So when Gan Guoyang sat in the seat of this French restaurant, he still felt a little cordial.

"I don't think there is any need for introductions. Everyone here should know each other. I am very glad that you can come here and hope you all have a good meal." Weinberg said sophisticatedly.

All present were acquaintances of Gan Guoyang, agent David Falk, Nike president Robert Strasser, Nike boss Phil Knight, and team general manager Inman.

Seeing the top management of Nike, Gan Guoyang probably understood that it must be for his sneakers.

After signing with Nike, Gan Guoyang did not immediately get a new sneaker style, because Nike signed Jordan and Gan Guoyang in a hurry, with the nature of gambling.

So after the start of the season, they began to invest in the research and development of new sneakers and pre-publicity preparations.

Gan Guoyang naturally only needs to play his own ball well. As for the shoes he wears, he doesn't really care. He feels good in the old Nike sneakers.

Now, the research and development of two new Nike brands has entered the late stage, and it is expected to be officially launched on the market before the All-Star Game.

Gan Guoyang and Jordan's current performance can be described as hot in the league. As rookies, the two occupy the first place in the league's scoring and rebounding charts respectively. This performance naturally makes Nike laugh from ear to ear.

Judging from the current All-Star voting, Gan Guoyang is second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the position of center in the West, and Jordan has already ranked first in the votes for guards in the East.

As long as the two enter the All-Star Game and wear Nike's new sneakers in the All-Star Game, then Nike will make a lot of money just around the corner.

On Jordan's side, Nike has already done it. Jordan will participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, which will be the best opportunity to showcase Nike's new sneakers.

And for this meal, Nike wanted Gan Guoyang to perform more in the All-Star Game, earn enough attention for himself and Nike.

Because Nike's headquarters is in Portland, and Gan Guoyang happens to be playing in Portland, so if he invites the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, things will naturally go smoothly.

"If you can use rok-the-bby in the game, I think this may be more exciting than the slam dunk contest championship." Shocking, still unforgettable.

The ignition point of the fans in the 80s is much lower than it is now. If the players can make two dunks, they will be too excited. If there is a windmill and a turning dunk, they will be even more excited.

Among the nb centers at that time, although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was undoubtedly the big killer, his monotonous hook was not loved by fans since the beginning of the year.

Moses Malone's style of rushing and throwing shots like a bison also made young fans unmotivated.

The target group of Nike is young people. They want to cultivate a group of new fans, and they need a new style of basketball.

If Gan Guoyang did not come to this time and space, Jordan would naturally be the best choice, and history later proved all this.

The arrival of Gan Guoyang did not replace Jordan's position, but it undoubtedly gave Nike more options.

"I will try my best. Although this is entertainment, I will try my best to make it the best entertainment." Gan Guoyang said solemnly. In fact, other nb games are not entertainment.

Afterwards, Nike was discussing advertising cooperation with the boss of the Blazers. Gan Guoyang was too lazy to participate, so he concentrated on eating and drinking.

At this time, Wang Fuxi pulled Lagan Guoyang, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Gump, when can we go back? I miss you..."
