The Golden Age of Basketball

This turmoil did not affect Gan Guoyang's flight to Houston, Texas with the Trail Blazers on November 11 to participate in the game against the Rockets.

Gan Guoyang's return made everyone in the Trail Blazers heave a sigh of relief. The first thing Drexler said when he saw Gan Guoyang was, "You're finally back. We fucking thought you were a spy sent by China."

Of course Gan Guoyang is not a spy, but the one night at the police station still affected his state. After all, he stayed there for 18 hours. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and he also missed the team's daily training.

And what he has to face in this game is the further mature twin towers of the Rockets-Olajuwon and Sampson.

Last season, the twin towers took shape and set off a storm of twin towers in the regular season, but they failed to fully release their talents in the more brutal playoffs and fell at the feet of the Jazz twin towers.

Olajuwon also tried his best during the offseason, training hard with Gan Guoyang, his strongest opponent, in Houston. Over the past summer, Olajuwon has gained nearly 10 pounds of weight, while maintaining his flexibility and speed. Anti-rise.

However, in the first few games of the season, Olajuwon's performance was not very stable, with large ups and downs. It seems that he has not fully adjusted his state.

This game against the Trail Blazers was Olajuwon's long-awaited battle, and he was already sharpening his sword.

Another giant of the Rockets, Ralph Sampson, is in a stable state, averaging 242 points and 174 rebounds in five games, which is terrifying. [

With the deepening of the running-in between the two, this super combination of insiders will set off a huge wave in the nb this season.

Even a "Twin Tower Killer" like Gan Guoyang felt a little bit drummed before the game, especially because he didn't practice with his teammates, which made him worry about his state.

For a top insider, when hesitation and wavering begin to appear in his heart, he will be at a disadvantage in the inside fight where every inch is contested and every inch of ground is not given up.

Gan Guoyang was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

It was the first time that he couldn't concentrate on a game, the first time he was interfered by off-court factors, and he couldn't give full play, and it was also the first time he left the field with six fouls in the NBA.

In the 8th minute of the fourth quarter, the Blazers trailed the Rockets by 101 points 112:11. When there were few opportunities left, Gan Guoyang knocked down Olajuwon during the offense and was called for an offensive foul. His sixth foul came when he was brought on after spending most of the quarter with five premature fouls.

The fans in the summit arena were in a state of ebullition. For this group of Texas fans, Gan Guoyang was sent off or Olajuwon's successful dunk made them excited. In the scene where the hall rages inside, the Texans hold grudges the most.

"I just used my elbow to push him away, it's a normal action! Can't you understand, I didn't use any force at all! How could I just knock him down, he's a flop!" Gan Guoyang repeated Demonstrate the action of raising his elbow just now, showing that he is only in a normal position, while complaining to the referee.

But all this was in vain. Once the referee made a foul judgment, it was impossible to change it. The on-duty referee Graystone looked at Gan Guoyang's explanation, pointed to the outside of the field, and signaled Gan Guoyang to leave the field as soon as possible.

"**..." Gan Guoyang could only shake his head and left the field. His statistics for this game were fixed at 18 points and 10 rebounds, which is not bad.

But Olajuwon, who was facing him, had already scored 38 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. In tonight's one-on-one matchup, Gan Guoyang was completely suppressed by Olajuwon.

Sitting on the bench, Gan Guoyang dropped the towel in frustration. He was extremely dissatisfied with his performance, especially on the defensive end. , was beaten black and blue by Olajuwon in the one-on-one offense and defense.

Especially in the protection of backcourt rebounds. In this game, he was robbed of 11 offensive rebounds by Olajuwon alone. He completely failed to protect the Blazers' penalty area and caused the Blazers to suffer from the Rockets' second attack many times. deficit.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 116:127. The Rockets easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers at home, ending the Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak and breaking the season. The undefeated golden body of the Blazers since the beginning.

As of today's game, the only undefeated team in the league is the Denver Nuggets. They have maintained a complete victory in the first five games, but such days should not last long. [

After the game, Gan Guoyang left the arena without saying hello to anyone. Although he should congratulate Olajuwon, his poor performance made Gan Guoyang unwilling to be a foil.

Olajuwon shined in this game, he scored a game-high 41 points and 18 rebounds, is undoubtedly the best player in the game.

"Akeem, what do you think of your performance in this game, and Gan's performance against you?" Olajuwon was asked in the sideline interview after the game.

"Well, I was aggressive tonight. I was at 120 percent. I felt great. And Gan didn't seem to be doing that well. I heard he was in some trouble. But the game is the game, I still won, I am very happy, and I wish him good luck." Olajuwon answered the reporter's question like this.

Gan Guoyang did get into some trouble. When he returned to the locker room to take a shower and sat in the interview room fully dressed to accept an interview with reporters, he knew he was in trouble.

Few reporters paid attention to the game itself, but they were all asking about Gan Guoyang being taken to the police station yesterday.

Gan Guoyang's answer was also very simple, "I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding, I promise I have nothing to do with any crime, I'm clean."

Such an answer naturally cannot satisfy the curiosity of the reporters, but Gan Guoyang's patience is limited, and the staff of the Blazers also quickly terminated the interview to prevent Gan Guoyang from being harassed again. His mood is bad enough that's it.

The Trail Blazers' trip to Texas is not over. After visiting Houston, they will then go to Dallas to meet last season's opponent Mavericks in the playoffs.

The Mavericks didn't do much in the offseason. They still built the team with Aguilar and Blackman as the core of the backcourt, and they hoped for the growth of Sam Perkins inside.

In this year's draft, the Mavericks selected a player from Germany, a tall small forward who graduated from the University of Washington, Dietlev Schramff, which to a certain extent enhanced the Mavericks' frontcourt strength.

But Schramf is just a rookie after all, and the changes he can bring are limited.

But the strength of the Mavericks should not be underestimated. The playoff match between the two teams last season also made this game a "battle of revenge" for the Mavericks.

Gan Guoyang, who held his breath in the last game, vented all his anger on the Mavericks. It's none of his business whether the opponent takes revenge or not.

Gan Guoyang was on full fire from the first quarter, seizing every single opportunity to attack the Mavericks' inside line. The Mavericks' center Kurt Nimfius and rookie Bill Wennington took turns to play. Unfortunately, the two white insiders Either too short and weak, or too young and inexperienced.

In front of the angry Gan Guoyang, the Mavericks were torn into a mess inside. Gan Guoyang scored 45 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single game, which is enough to see that he put his main energy on offense.

The Blazers also beat the Dallas Mavericks in an away game with an advantage of 129:110,19, [-] points, which completely ruined the so-called revenge battle of the Mavericks.

And Gan Guoyang's scoring show also prompted the Mavericks to exchange for 7-foot-2 center James Donaldson from the Los Angeles Clippers in a subsequent transaction, trying to curb Gan Guoyang's raging inside.

Winning the game made Gan Guoyang instantly feel refreshed, but the post-match interviews still gave him a headache, because the reporters asked the same questions as the day before yesterday, just staring at Gan Guoyang being taken back to the police station for interrogation.

Gan Guoyang followed Qian Hui's instructions and did not disclose any information in the public interview, only saying that he was misunderstood and had nothing to do with the crime.

Now the best solution to this incident is of course the police or fb to come forward to clarify, but the police and fb are still investigating many issues about the Jiangnan case, and Gan Guoyang can only rely on himself to get his innocence.

Fortunately, there are only two games in the road trip in Texas. They don't have to go to San Antonio to find the trouble of the Spurs. The Blazers can go back to Portland directly after playing the Mavericks.

Gan Guoyang's top priority is to find a reliable media and reporter to conduct an exclusive interview, as Qian Hui said, to clarify the matter, resolve this matter thoroughly, and concentrate on the competition.

But when he thought of this, Gan Guoyang became worried again, because he found that even in Portland, there was no media that had a close relationship with him. With Gan Guoyang's style of work, it would be good if there were fewer media that were hostile.

So Gan Guo didn't know which media to choose for the interview, and when he returned to Portland, the calls from various media were about to explode his landline, and the inbox at the door was also full of Newspaper business card.

"Oh my god, there are so many media outlets, what should I do?" Gan Guoyang collected all those business cards and looked at them one by one. Sports Illustrated and more.

But these newspapers are not in the scope of Gan Guoyang's choice. He hopes that the smaller the matter, the better, instead of being hyped up by these big media and making it known all over the United States.

"Choose slowly. To be honest, Gan, I think your cousin is right. You really should manage your media relations. Public figures need a good image." Behrman was sitting on the sidelines doing his statistics. Said while finishing work.

"...Let me take a look, this guy is interesting, maybe he is a good choice." Gan Guoyang seemed to have picked the right candidate.

"Okay, it's you, "Portland Country Music News", reporter Wu Zhiwen."
