The Golden Age of Basketball

"Stockton, Stockton jumper... Goin! Goin! Stockton hit the game-winner! Game-winner! They beat the Spurs on the road! Kill the Spurs!" in In the locker room at the Portland Memorial Coliseum, all the Blazers sat on stools watching the last game of the regular season being televised, the Utah Jazz taking on the San Antonio Spurs.

"Oh my God, Stockton is the lore, I can't believe it...Gan, Stockton and you are really good brothers, successfully avoided us, and also avoided the 'brother duel' with you." Kenny Karl said to Gan Guoyang after seeing Stockton made a key goal.

April 4th is the last day of the NB regular season game day. In the evening, the Blazers played against the Denver Nuggets at home. After losing all the previous three games, the Blazers finally played in the last game of the regular season at 14: The 117 defeat of the opponent also broke the embarrassing record against the Nuggets this season.

However, this game has no effect on the final ranking of the top three in the West. The Trail Blazers are firmly in second place in the West with a record of 55 wins and 27 losses. The third Denver Nuggets, they achieved a good result of 52 wins and 30 losses.

The two teams are more concerned about which team they will meet in the first round.

The three teams from fifth to seventh are very competitive. The record gap between the Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs is only a hair's breadth.

In the last few games, the Blazers first lost to the Utah Jazz 103:145 in the away game in Salt Lake City, and then won the Dallas Mavericks in the next game. Cattle Gap.

As the Utah Jazz relied on Stockton to beat the Spurs in this game, the Utah Jazz also completely locked the fifth place in the West. They will face the fourth-ranked Houston Rockets in the first round.

"I don't want to go to Salt Lake City to play an away game. Just let Mark Eaton deal with the Rockets' twin towers." Gan Guoyang thought of the big defeat in Utah a few days ago. The noisy home court made Gan Guoyang quite uncomfortable. [

For the Rockets, it is really uncomfortable to meet the Utah Jazz. Originally, the biggest advantage of the Rockets is the twin towers of Sampson and Olajuwon inside, but the Jazz also has the black and white double highs of Eaton and Bailey. It was a fierce battle.

On the contrary, it is relatively easy for the Blazers to play against the Dallas Mavericks. Although the two sides are evenly matched in the regular season, from the perspective of the lineup, the Blazers are not afraid of the Mavericks. More importantly, the Mavericks also played well. Offensive basketball, at this point, the Blazers are not afraid to play against each other.

However, when Ramsey turned off the TV, the atmosphere in the Blazers locker room suddenly became quiet and dignified. It seemed that the result of the match against the Mavericks did not make the players feel more relaxed.

"Our opponent has come out, we will fight the Dallas people, remember, this is the playoffs, and the game is completely different from the regular season. Our team is very good, but there are many young players, So I may feel uncomfortable with the playoffs, but I think that only the real battlefield is the best platform for growth. Get ready, boys. Tomorrow is a day off, and training will resume the day after tomorrow. The schedule will be released soon gone."

After Ramsey finished speaking, he left the locker room, and the players packed up and prepared to leave.

The long regular season is finally over.

When Gan Guoyang left the arena, he felt relaxed. Although he knew that the real challenge was yet to come, at least the 82 regular season games were finally over.

From October last year to April this year, for nearly half a year, Gan Guoyang followed the team back and forth on more than 10 million square kilometers of land in the United States, fighting against black and white people for 4 nights.

Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang felt a little unbelievable.

What surprised Gan Guoyang even more was that he only missed two games in 82 games, and he was suspended for punching Lambir, so Gan Guoyang can be said to have maintained his body intact. Perhaps a greater achievement than mvp.

At the same time, in terms of personal performance, Gan Guoyang also did the best. He averaged 195 points per game this season, only one step away from averaging 20 points per game, and averaged 163 rebounds per game, making Gan Guoyang the rebounding king. .

The average of 33 blocked shots and 21 steals per game does not fully reflect Gan Guoyang's great role on the defensive end. According to Adelman, Gan Guoyang has been nominated for the best defensive player.

Finally, 19 assists show that Gan Guoyang still has great potential to be tapped on the offensive end.

In any case, this is a memorable and memorable rookie season for Gan Guoyang. After passing this season, it means that Gan Guoyang finally passed the rookie stage and became a real nb professional player.

"Clyde, at the end of your rookie season, have you ever thought about what your future career will be like?" Gan Guoyang sat in Drexler's car and Drexler sent him home. After that accident, Gan Guoyang never dared to drive by himself again. [

"Me? My rookie season, it was a bit bad. I thought I was going to be drafted to Houston, but ended up in Portland; I missed most of the training camp, and I didn't adapt to the nb game at all at the beginning of the season; and , I have three competitors at the position of shooting guard! Many times I don’t get playing time, even if I play well in the previous game, I will sit on the bench in the next game. When I played the whole season, including the playoffs, I thought, I'm finally fucking free. As for what will happen in the future, I really didn't think about it at the time. Maybe the most I think about is next season. Be sure to get more playing time!" Drexler thought of his difficult rookie season, and he had something to say.

"But you still came here, you are now a big star of the Blazers, I am sure you will become great." Gan Guoyang looked at Drexler, his best friend after coming to the Blazers is the glider Now, the two hardly speak now.

"Haha, this season is indeed very different. I didn't expect you to be such an interesting guy. Everyone didn't expect it. I think you are the one who brought us the biggest change this season. Really Gan, I think you There is a chance to win the MVP." Drexler is not entirely joking when he said this, in the MVP rankings, Gan Guoyang is second only to Bird and Magic Johnson, ranking third.Behind him are Moses Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"Don't be kidding, even without me, I think you will definitely win the championship." Gan Guoyang thought of what Chris said in the tape that the Blazers would win the championship in 1990. I don't know if it was because of Gan Guoyang's death. It was the huge spiritual motivation of the Blazers that allowed the Blazers, who were originally destined to be champions, to reverse history.

"Don't say Gan...you know, because of you, the team has the hope of winning the championship. You didn't experience last season, so you don't know the changes of Coach Ramsey last year and this year. Trust me, Come on Gan."

The next day, when the whole team was resting, Gan Guoyang got up early and ran to the training center as usual.

On the streets of Portland in the early morning, Gan Guoyang was able to see some huge promotional posters about the playoffs, among which Gan Guoyang became the center of the posters and was hung on tall buildings.

In some relatively narrow small streets, promotional banners about the playoffs were also hung up, with the words "portln-uprse" (Portland uprse).

For Portland, a city with only one professional team like the Trail Blazers, supporting the Trail Blazers is the most consistent choice of all sports fans, and the Trail Blazers are the symbol of this city.

When Gan Guoyang came to the training hall, he found that someone on the court had already arrived one step ahead.

"Who is earlier than me? Sampson? Or Clyde?" Gan Guoyang was a little strange. Generally speaking, in the whole season, the number of times Gan Guoyang arrived at the training ground second can be counted on one hand.

When Gan Guoyang entered the field, he realized that the team's head coach Jack Ramsey was one step ahead of him.

"Hey, Mr. Ramsay, why are you here?" Ramsay, as the coach of the team, always arrives on time on training days, so there is no need for him to come earlier.

And on rest days, this elderly gentleman will take a good rest at home.

"You are still here Gan. On the day of rest, you should have a good rest. Rest is as important as exercise."

"It doesn't matter. For me, going to the training hall and gym by myself is the best rest. But why are you here, Mr. Ramsay?"

"Hehehe, hardworking guy." Ramsay said briefly with a smile.

The relationship between Gan Guoyang and Ramsey is actually quite strange. They have different ideas about basketball. Gan Guoyang thinks that Ramsey is conservative, and Ramsey thinks that Gan Guoyang is too egotistical. The two often have some small conflicts and frictions throughout the season. .

However, Gan Guoyang admired Ramsey's rigor and solidity in tactics and training, and he was happy to accept Ramsey's opinions; and Ramsey saw poor talent from Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang's regret is expected to be made up for here.

Generally speaking, the relationship between the two is not bad, but not that good. The two rarely meet outside the court, so Gan Guoyang didn't know how to respond to Ramsey's praise.

"Let's come to training. The reason why I came here is because my mind is more flexible on the court. For the playoffs, I have to go all out in every game and make detailed plans." It seems that Ramsey is coming The gym is for developing ideas.

"Okay, let's have an individual training session, I will beat the Mavericks in the playoffs!" Gan Guoyang is still full of confidence in the upcoming playoffs.

"I hope so, but I still want to tell you that the playoffs and the regular season are two different worlds... Let's start with physical training..."
