The Golden Age of Basketball

On April 1989, 4, the Seattle Dome, where the ncaa finals of this season will be held, for this reason, nba is also suspended for one day.

In April, it no longer snowed in Seattle, but it began to rain lightly. The Emerald City was covered with a layer of mist. Spring has come to this city in the west of the United States.

City in the North Point.

The spring rain did not stop the enthusiasm of basketball fans. This is the second time since 1984 that the NCAA finals will be held in Seattle.

Five full years have passed, and the smoke of that game still seems to permeate the air of the city, and has not been wiped away with the rain.

The streets of Seattle have special public bicycle lanes for citizens to ride. This well-planned city is very suitable for cycling around. Today,

Many fans braved the rain and rode their bicycles to the Dome to participate in the annual American college basketball event.

The two teams that reached the finals this year are the University of Michigan and Seton Hall University. Coincidentally, these two universities have never won the ncaa championship in the past.

Central Michigan University once reached the finals in 1976, but that year they lost to Indiana University, which had won all seasons, and won the runner-up;

It is the first time to enter the finals, so whoever wins the championship will add a new member to the ncaa championship roster.

The rain is slowly getting heavier, the sky is getting darker, and the sky is getting late. There are still a small number of fans rushing to the Dome through various means of transportation. At this time, the local radio station in Seattle

The voice of "Seattle Voice" Blackburn has been heard, and he has begun to warm up for the game.

On the slightly dark and slippery street, there are still people riding bicycles to the arena leisurely. There are very few people on the road, and the rain is getting heavier and the light is insufficient.

, people didn't notice that the rider was a lot taller than the average person, and the bike he was riding was also bigger than the average person's bike.And behind the car seat, there is a person sitting for him

Umbrella.

"Fuxi, are your arms tired like this?"

"Not tired, you should hurry up, aren't you afraid of being late?"

"Don't be afraid, I remember that when you came to see my game, you were also late, and you lost your hat in the end."

"Didn't something happen at home? At that time, I was in a taxi, listening to the radio while rushing to the arena, and my heart was dying of anxiety."

"So today we don't need to be in a hurry, let's ride slowly."

The rider was Gan Guoyang, and naturally Wang Fuxi was behind him. Could it be that both of them have vacations? Seattle is very close to Portland, so they drove here together to watch

Watch the ncaa finals.

Recalling the finals five years ago, Gan Guoyang still feels like a dream, the suffocating venue, more than 2 spectators, tens of millions of people in the United States watching live TV, and his

Against Olajuwon, and the last lore, the audience poured into the venue, Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi's embrace, everything was firmly engraved on Gan Guoyang

in life.

At that moment, Gan Guoyang even felt that even if he could not play in the NBA in the future, he would not be able to obtain higher basketball honors. With such glory and moments, his basketball life

Career is also complete.

Gan Guoyang rode his bicycle slowly towards the Dome in the rain, with a big umbrella propped on his head, people on the side of the road could not recognize it unless they looked carefully.

The most popular superstar in nba.

The game and the audience will not wait for Gan Guoyang's arrival. At 6:[-] p.m., the dome center is already full. The atmosphere here is as lively as five years ago, and the scene is also

It was even more lively, and the cheerleaders danced vigorously to warm up the scene.

Players from both sides also warmed up nervously on the field. Compared with the game five years ago, the game between the University of Michigan and Seton Hall lacked a lot of star flavor and gimmicks.

Both sides are team basketball, and there are no supernovas.

The biggest and most promising star on both sides is University of Michigan small forward Glenn Rice. This talented attacker can average 25.6 points per game this season.

He was also a successful selection to the 1989 All-American First Team.

And Seton Hall University is a completely civilian team. The chief scorer John Moulton is a small forward averaging 17 points per game, although Olajuwon and Ewing averaged

The score is not as good as Moulton, but the potential in the NCAA cannot be judged by the data. From their draft predictions, it can be seen that Olajuwon and Ewing are both definite champions, while Mo

In the eyes of scouts, Leon was just a late first-round pick.

"Seattle Sports Network listeners good evening, I'm in the dome right now to bring you the 1989 ncaa finals live commentary, my name is bob bryce

Keben, I am very happy to bring you the NCAA Finals again after 5 years. The classic final that has been recorded in history has passed. Five years later, we are looking forward to this

A group of lads can do new wonders. "

That's what Blackburn said, but he also knows that it is really difficult to reproduce the game five years ago. With a record of 4000 million people watching, it is a miracle that the ratings of more than 25%

, the ups and downs of the game and the duel between two players who are destined to become superstars, everything, and only five years before Bird vs. Magic in 1979.

In comparison, maybe five years is just a cycle.

………………

"Forrest Gump, are you lost?" At this time, Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi were still on their way to the Dome, and they were in trouble.

Know the way, after all, he is not familiar with Seattle.

"...Don't worry, I have a map here..." Gan Guoyang stopped the car and took out the map he brought with him from his arms. This time he came to Seattle, Wang Fuxi was in charge of driving, and Feng Peiyu was in charge.

They asked for leave and took Feng Guangyao to the hospital to see his teeth, but they couldn't accompany them, so they had to solve such problems by themselves.

"Oops, the map is wet and I can't see it clearly." Gan Guoyang found that the map in his arms was a bit blurred by the rain, and in such a big city, sometimes it is difficult to read the map.

It worked, and there were no navigators or mobile phones at that time, and there was really no direction at all.

"I still remember some routes. When I took a taxi, I seemed to pass the Space Needle." Wang Fuxi said from his own memories.

The Space Needle is a landmark building in Seattle. Basically, the most important roads in Seattle converge near the Space Needle. Gan Guoyang looked around and found that the space

The Needle Tower was not too far away from them, so he decided to go to the Space Needle Tower first, and then make other decisions when he got there.

However, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the Space Needle tower looked close, but it was still quite a distance to ride there. Fortunately, Gan Guoyang's physical strength was endless, so he didn't care about it at all.

The distance, but when the two of them arrived under the Needle Tower, their bodies were already soaked in rain.

At this time, Gan Guoyang discovered that under the Space Needle Tower, there are still many people waiting in line for sightseeing on the top floor. Every day, nearly [-] tourists come here to visit or go to the top of the Needle Tower.

high-end restaurant consumption.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked extremely embarrassed, his whole body was wet, his hair was wet and stuck to his scalp, he didn't have the style on the court at all, and there were many rainy days

Everyone was holding an umbrella, so no one paid special attention to this big man. Besides, the influence of the nba at that time was not so great that everyone could recognize the star walking on the street.

After all, the influence of the media cannot be compared with that of later generations.

"A-Gump, why don't we go up and dry yourself off. You can't do it if you catch a cold. You have to compete the day after tomorrow." Wang Fuxi suggested to Gan Guoyang.

"Oh, that's really stupid. I wanted to ride a bike to take you to the football game, but I didn't know I was in such a mess." Gan Guoyang shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's okay, Forrest Gump. Anyway, it's not your competition. It doesn't matter if I watch it or not. You haven't picked me up on a bicycle for a long time. I'm the one who will drive you."

Hearing this, Gan Guoyang himself laughed.

However, there were quite a lot of people queuing up, and Gan Guoyang's height stood out in the crowd, so he might be recognized by others, and there would probably be a lot of trouble at that time.

At this time, a man came out from the entrance of the Needle Tower. He was a big black man in a black suit. He walked up to Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi and said to them, "Mr. Gan,

Our boss has invited you to sit with him for a while and watch the game. "

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reactions of Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi, and made a "please" gesture towards the inside. It turned out that there was a VIP channel next to the normal queue.

Gan Guoyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said to Wang Fuxi, "Go, let's go in."
