The Golden Age of Basketball

In the end, the paper did not cover the fire, and the news of Gan Guoyang being kissed by a female fan at the subway station reached Wang Fuxi's ears. The result was that Gan Guoyang was fined three times a night. Decided to let Gan Guoyang go, then on the match day, Gan Guoyang might surrender without playing.

This little episode did not change Gan Guoyang's good mood. Following the official announcement that Gan Guoyang had won the regular season mvp, calls and emails flooded in from all sides. Some congratulated relatives and friends, some fans congratulated him, and some large companies sent messages. The advertisement invitation letter that came, for example, Coca-Cola had already handed over their next contract to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang handed everything over to David Falk to deal with. Anyway, Falk can't interfere with Gan Guoyang's core investment business now. He can still handle these small businesses with ease. Then Gan Guoyang will focus on the Western Conference Finals Yes, Gan Guoyang doesn't want to be slapped in the face by the Lakers at home immediately after winning the regular season mvp.

However, among all the condolences, the phone call from his father Gan Youwei moved Gan Guoyang the most. Gan Youwei neither praised Gan Guoyang too much, nor talked too much about how bright his face was. The higher the climb, the more painful the fall.

After so many years, Gan Youwei has never caused any trouble for Gan Guoyang because of money. He always emphasizes that he has craftsmanship and technology, and his salary is not low. He can fully support himself and live a good life, so he never Ask Gan Guoyang to withdraw money.

Not only that, no matter how famous Gan Guoyang is now, how much influence he has, and how much money he has, in Gan Youwei's eyes, Gan Guoyang is a son who needs care and love at that moment. Gan Guoyang has great spiritual support.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang decided to invite Gan Youwei to attend his ceremony at the mvp awards ceremony on May 5th. He wanted to express his gratitude to his father in front of everyone.

But Gan Youwei rejected Gan Guoyang's proposal after thinking about it. This simple father doesn't like the dazzling and sensational scenes of the NBA, and he doesn't like to show his feelings in front of too many people. In his words, "I It makes me happy to see my son on TV."

For Gan Youwei, being able to see Gan Guoyang on TV made him really satisfied. Sometimes he was very happy in his heart, thinking that although his son was working far away in Portland, his son was a basketball player. He is still a big star, so he is often on TV, and I can see him on TV, which is already very satisfying.

Soon, on May 5, Gan Youwei was satisfied again. Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, the league president David Stern personally awarded the regular season mvp trophy to Gan Guoyang. Amidst the attention, cheers and applause of the audience, the "Morris Podolov" cup was held high. This is a trophy named after the first president of the NBA League. Gan Guoyang also became the second to hold this cup. Blazers player with trophy.

Gan Guoyang stood in the middle of the arena. He had long been used to the dazzling lights and deafening cheers. He had learned to enjoy this glory, but he could also feel the heavy weight on his right hand. The MVP trophy in the regular season was not so easy to win.

In the history of nba, a team having mvp means they have the best players, but having a championship can prove that they are the strongest team, starting from 1969 (throwing away the boring and long Kyle 69 years ago During the 1989 years to 20, a total of 20 regular season MVPs were born, but only 7 of them won the championship that year, and the others either fell in the finals or were in the finals. On the road, the halberd fell into the sand.

At this time, Gan Guoyang, who received the trophy, felt the praise from all directions, but he really realized the weight of this heavy award, especially when he saw Magic Johnson sitting off the court and watching the whole process of the ceremony.

This mvp was originally owned by Magic Johnson. In terms of personal performance, Johnson is not inferior to Gan Guoyang, but the record of the Blazers is really outstanding, the best in history. Coupled with the occurrence of discrimination incidents, Gan Guoyang can say that this mvp is well-received. It is also a decision that the alliance must make, and they can no longer bear criticism.

However, for players, especially competitive superstars, they are always the mvp in their hearts, and Magic Johnson is no exception. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spoke, he didn’t want to watch Gan Guoyang accept the worship of a king in the center of the court anymore, the real king of the west couldn’t wait to play and teach the young pioneers a lesson, so that all the audience could understand who is the king of the west king.

However, when the game was about to start, the magician still came forward to shake hands with Gan Guoyang in a friendly manner. Both of them had a good relationship off the court. The smile and affinity of the magician made it difficult for ordinary people to reject him.

However, when the game really started, Magic Johnson quickly put away his smile. Just after the game started, Magic hit the basket in consecutive singles, either causing fouls or scoring directly.

"Magic, put Cauchy on his back and go in, turned around and went straight to the layup! The ball went in! It also caused a foul by Sabonis. The Blazers Gan and Sabonis each paid a foul. Johnson once again stood on the free throw line. The game Not long after the start, Johnson has already scored eight points in a row, and if this ball hits, it will be the ninth point."

Bill Seanley was still sitting in his old position and explaining the game. His voice was still peaceful, but those who knew him could hear a little nervousness in it, because the Blazers were beaten by the Lakers 15:3 in the opening game, and the Magic Division Johnson scored 8 points in a row.

In the past when the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers, they always let Kareem open the game at the beginning, and then gradually accelerated under the control of the magician. As for the Lakers' opening game, especially against the Trail Blazers, Riley understands that even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar starts the game with plenty of energy, he may not be able to get cheap inside the Trail Blazers.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, what the Lakers really killed their opponents was the strong offensive firepower on the outside. Magician, Worthy, and Byron Scott took turns to attack their opponents. Ac Green and Michael Cooper Guaranteed defense, the opponent can't stand it at all, the reason is very simple, the attack power of these three people is too strong.

If it is said that Scott or Worthy defend alone in a team, it is not too against the sky, and it cannot reach the level of Gan Guoyang or Jordan. The overall ability is also in the middle and upper reaches of the entire league, but when The combination of the two, especially under the organization of Magic Johnson, is extremely powerful.

Worthy is good at playing with his back and has a very high shooting rate when he is close to the basket. Scott is good at shooting and breakthrough. He has the level of scoring 30 points in the playoffs. The magician who combined them includes The offensive characteristics of these two people, as well as the unparalleled pass organization ability in the world, few teams can bear this kind of outside offensive combination.

"The Magician made a free throw, 16:3. Johnson had already scored 9 points in the first quarter. He seemed to be protesting to the league that he should be the mvp of the regular season. I don't know how Gan will respond."

So far, the Blazers' only score came from Terry Porter's three-pointer, and Gan Guoyang missed two shots, but the worse thing is that the Lakers double-teamed Gan Guoyang crazily from the beginning. ac-Green began to "hold" Gan Guoyang and walked in from three cents away, and Byron Scott was always on call.

Gan Guoyang's two shots were shot at the top of the arc and after Drexler's pick-and-roll, but whenever he shot, there would be three people standing in front of him, Green, Worthy Gastek, and Gan Guoyang tried to pass the ball, But others didn’t feel good at the beginning of the game. For example, after catching the ball, Cauchy forced Kareem to make a layup. In the end, the basketball turned around on the rim and fell out. Drexler caught the ball and made a jump shot from the baseline. , the ball bounced out of the basket, and Sabonis missed a hook jumper after receiving a pass from Gan Guoyang.

However, Adelman looked very calm, and Gan Guoyang was also very calm. There was no tension on the faces of any Blazers players, because they knew that it is normal for the state to fluctuate. Going deep, they will slowly regain their state.

"Give me an inside cut." Gan Guoyang whispered to Porter when he served from the bottom line.

The Lakers' defense against Gan Guoyang at the beginning of the game must not be violated or not tight. With one post, others can come up at any time to make up, one, two or even three. Anyway, Riley's idea is that he would rather let others open to shoot and score. Don't let Gan Guoyang find an offensive feeling in singles.

Gan Guoyang just ran halfway through, and ac-Green posted up again. Although Green is much inferior to Gan Guoyang in physical fitness, he is active and tough in defense, and is very suitable for interfering with Gan Guoyang's positioning on the outside.

But this time, Gan Guoyang suddenly started, pushed Green hard, and directly inserted into the inside line from the right rib. Terry Porter understood and threw the ball high to the inside line.

"Alley-oop! Gan dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!" Bill Seanley yelled with the explosive cheers from all the fans. Cooperated with Porter to complete a beautiful alley-oop.

After the goal, Gan Guoyang waved his fist vigorously, as if announcing to the Lakers that the Blazers will be back soon.
