When the buzzer sounded at the end, there were few people in the stands of the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Center.

This is a game with no suspense and highlights, and the only highlight is Wharton VS Gan, which has become boring because of the early opening of the score and Gan Guoyang's sitting on the bench for a long time.

Gan Guoyang watched the sparse audience begin to leave, and couldn't help but think in his heart, is this the NBA?

After four games, the Trailblazers won all of them, three of which were big wins without suspense, but Gan Guoyang did not feel particularly happy and excited.

The level of confrontation in the game was not as fierce as he imagined, perhaps because these teams were relatively weak, or Gan Guoyang's own strength was too strong, and the center forwards he had played against him felt that the strength of this Chinese player was quite amazing.

Gan Guoyang now misses the NCAA rìzi a little, the kind of knockout game that is a winner-or-loser, either win or go home, it's really a struggle every minute.

And here, Ramsey is right, it is a long run, and it is more important for the team to run at a smooth and low-effort speed, and wait until the sprint stage to start to exert force.

"Hello, Gan." At this time, someone said hello to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang looked at it, is it Bill? Wharton, after the game, both sides shook hands with each other.

"Hello Mr. Wharton, Coach Ramsay often mentions you and says you're a role model for me to follow." Gan Guoyang complimented, in fact, Wharton's performance tonight was very average, scoring only 12 points.

"No, no, no, you're great, you can be yourself; If you had stayed at UCLA and had Mr. Wooden mentor you, then you could at least win two more championships for UCLA. Wharton mentioned his alma mater.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Mr. Wooddon, and I don't like that Farmar so much, I heard he's out of class this year." Gan Guoyang got the news from Chanmoss, Larry? Famar was fired from the team this year because of his average record and being the "culprit" behind UCLA's loss of Gan Guoyang.

'Sometimes, you shouldn't look at a coach by liking or disliking it, but by whether he can help you, and I think Ramsay should be the kind of person who can help you. Wharton said meaningfully to Gan Guoyang, and then the two went back to the team's locker room.

"We played really well tonight, we shot very well and there was nothing they could do with us. But we still have problems with rebounding protection, and if we continue like this, I'm not optimistic about the next game. Ramsey concluded in the dressing room.

Ramsey is the quintessential kind of guy who only says half a word, and the Trail Blazers players are now used to listening to his "but" and what the team is not playing well.

In the game with the Clippers, Gan Guoyang didn't get much playing time, mainly using Sampson to play center, Vanderwich to play as a big forward, and then let Drexler play small forward.

The team's offensive tempo was brought to a blistering pace, shooting 53 percent from the field, with Van de Verwich and Sampson both scoring 31 points and Drexler scoring 17 points.

It's just that due to his height, the team's defensive rebounds are not very good, giving the Clippers many opportunities to attack, which makes Ramsey very dissatisfied.

"That's right, so you should send me on more games." Gan Guoyang interjected on the side.

In the Trailblazers, only Gan Guoyang dared to interject when Ramsey spoke, although he was still a rookie, he had always been "lawless".

"If you're playing well enough, I'll keep you on the pitch until you're tired." Ramsey is also used to Gan Guoyang's broken mouth, and will always fight back against him in a timely manner.

"It was fucking awesome, I wanted to be on the court for every 48 minutes." Gan Guoyang changed his clothes and said with an indifferent look.

"OK, I'll talk about the specific arrangement in the evening, Gan, KiKi, let's get ready for an interview." The dressing room and press conference interviews after the game are essential, although this kind of link is more uncomfortable than having Gan Guoyang run 30 round-trips.

"Well, these nasty reporters, the questions they ask in a year, can make up a fucking book of 100,000 whys."

………………

Early in the morning on November 4, Great Western Forum Arena in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

Magic Johnson showed up in the parking lot of the arena in his Lincoln car and in a gorgeous fur coat.

Last night was another romantic night for him, and he had no way to refuse the beautiful girls who took the initiative to send them to the door.

But there is one thing, he never stays with women overnight, nor does he spend the night with women, because every morning he has to be the first to go to the stadium to train.

Although his private life is often criticized, including always hanging out with the team's owner — Gan Guoyang has only met the team owner once so far, the magician's attitude towards basketball is 120 percent correct, and his desire to win is beyond most people's imagination.

In the 1984 Finals, the Lakers lost their final game to the Celtics and witnessed their arch-rivals rise to the top in Boston, an experience that Johnson will never forget, and he did not sleep for three days and three nights to reflect on his problems.

This summer, the entire Lakers were pulled by Riley to Palm Springs-style and began hellish training.

Every ball in training smelled of gunpowder, the confrontation was so fierce that it reached the level of the finals, and with continuous high-intensity practice, Riley just wanted to torture his players and make them complete a sublimation.

It's just that after the start of the season, the Lakers didn't start well, and the Texas tours in San Antonio and Dallas left them with two straight losses.

Finally getting the first win against the underdog Golden State Warriors, followed by a two-point loss to the SuperSonics, has caused the entire Lakers to be criticized, including the media in Los Angeles, who believe that the Lakers do not seem to have learned from last season's failure.

This made the arrogant magician very angry, but he knew that only with his performance and results on the field could he shut up those noisy guys.

Back in Los Angeles, they will have three consecutive home games, the first against the Spurs, and the second against the Portland Trail Blazers, who have been in the limelight lately.

Johnson made his way to the locker room, changed into his training clothes and picked up his basketball to prepare for the shooting drills he had every morning.

"Hey Magic, you're the second one today." An old gentleman in charge of the arena's security saw Johnson and said to him.

Johnson was stunned for a moment, could there be anyone on the team who was earlier than him? Is Abdul-Jabbar? Or Michael? Cooper.

When he approached the court, he didn't hear the sound of a basketball hitting, and he didn't see anyone training on the court.

"Good morning, Magic!" Johnson was startled by the sudden sound of saying hello in the empty arena.

The sound came from the stands, and Johnson looked back to see that there was actually a man running in the tunnel of the stands.

It was Gan Guoyang, who was running down the narrow aisle sweating profusely at this time, with headphones on his ears.

"How did you get in?" Johnson asked aloud.

"I'll always have a way, just like I can always score on the pitch!" Gan Guoyang didn't mean to stop, and continued to run and say.

"Then I bet it's not that easy for you to score tonight." Johnson's comments on this who once broke into Lakers training camp, and Bob? McAdoo clashed, looking a little arrogant, but not too annoying guy, was impressed.

In Gan Guoyang, the magician can see his own shadow, the confidence and courage that are not timid are the same as his, but he seems to be able to sense that he has the smell of his old enemy, which comes from his perfect combination of arrogance and calmness.

"How hard is it? Is it harder than me running here? Gan Guoyang said loudly, but there was no expression on his face, he seemed to be completely immersed in running.

Last night, he barely slept because he couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of playing the Lakers on the court.

Ramsey, in particular, told him, "Whoever can beat the Lakers is the new king of the West." ”

That's right, the Lakers are now the kings of the West, reaching the Finals four times and winning two NBA championships in the five years from 1980 to 1984.

Even if the Rockets upset the Lakers in 81, it was just a flash in the pan, and with Malone leaving the Rockets and Riley taking control of the Lakers, the West is still a world.

This phenomenon will continue until the early '90s, when the West will be free of the Magic and Lakers, and of course, that is "ever" history.

Now, whether this history can be changed depends on Gan Guoyang's.

Gan Guoyang, who couldn't sleep well, simply got up early, ran to the Great West Forum Stadium, exchanged a autograph of his own for the accommodation of the management personnel, and ran to the stands to calm himself down with running and singing.

Gan Guoyang himself can't remember how many laps he ran in the stands, and he felt that he never seemed to get tired.

However, he still remembered the Lakers training session that Palm Springs City participated in, at the end of the training, everyone was so tired that they couldn't speak, and Gan Guoyang didn't even say goodbye to Abdul-Jabbar, because he could see that Abdul-Jabbar was also tired.

In the past, when Gan Guoyang was not a professional player, Gan Guoyang thought that the Lakers were a team that relied on fast breaks and simple goals to save physical strength.

Since that training, Gan Guoyang has known that the Lakers are definitely a team that can't run to death, and other teams are definitely taken to death by the Lakers.

"Gan, I'm looking forward to your performance at night, but if you keep running like this, I'm afraid you won't have the strength to play at night."

"No, if I don't keep running, I'm afraid that if I have too much strength at night, I will blow you up."

………………

"Good evening friends, I'm Zike? I don't know if you're ready to enjoy the Los Angeles Lakers' show at the Great Western Forum once again, but I think the Portland Trail Blazers across from them are ready. ”

The Los Angeles-area radio station came to Zeke? Herrne's calm, fast-paced voice.

Since 1961, he has been a play-by-play commentator on the Lakers' home court, relaying the situation on the radio at each of their homes.

Although there are now TV broadcasts, and TV stations have their own commentators and commentators, fans in the Los Angeles area still like to turn on the TV and turn off the sound, and then turn on the radio and listen to Zeck while watching the TV broadcast? Hearn's commentary.

The Trail Blazers are indeed ready, at least Gan Guoyang is, the long-distance run in the morning did not make him tired, on the contrary, he was full of energy at this time.

"Keep your focus from the first minute, just like you did in college, and play this game like the finals." This is what Ramsey said to Gan Guoyang before the game.

Ramsey attaches great importance to this game, although the Trail Blazers have won all the previous four games, and most of them have been won easily, but because of this, it is necessary to use a fierce battle to verify the strength of the previous Trail Blazers.

The Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly the best opponents, and they will be the target that the Trail Blazers have been chasing all along.

"Relax little one, if you keep jumping around like this, I think you're about to burst your veins and die." Mitchell before the entrance ceremony? Sampson said to Gan Guoyang, who has been jumping on the sidelines for a long time.

"I just want to burn some of my jīng power, otherwise I'm afraid I'll end up with six fouls in the first quarter." Judging from Gan Guoyang's current situation, it is difficult to really make six mistakes in the first quarter.

'It's been a long season and it's going to be a long game to learn to relax the youngsters. Sampson has always been unpleasant to Gan Guoyang, but Gan Guoyang's strength is indeed not bad, which also makes Sampson slowly convinced.

The tedious opening ceremony is over, and the introduction has never been easier for the away team, and Gan Guoyang can't wait to play.

In the Great Western Forum Arena, he watched the 1982 finals, and fought with Georgetown here, he has long been used to it, but today he wants to conquer this land of kings as an enemy.

Abdul-Jabbar was already in place, and standing across from him was this year's Bangyan show, a Chinese, Gan. He didn't look as tall as a magician, and it was harder to see Huang Sè's face on the basketball court than it was to find an island in the Pacific Ocean. Hopefully he'll cherish those few hours at the Great Western Forum, and I'm sure he'll have a lot to learn, like learning to wear stockings. "Zike? Hearn said sarcastically.

At that time, the players were wearing small shorts, which was enough to make Gan Guoyang uncomfortable, but most of them still wore white sè stockings, which made Gan Guoyang even more incomprehensible, this is not playing football!

So Gan never wears stockings, while most of the Lakers' players wear long white socks.

Gan Guoyang didn't have time to think about socks at this time, standing in front of him was Abdul-Jabbar, starting from UCLA to training in Palm Springs, Gan Guoyang fought with Abdul-Jabbar many times, and he always fell behind.

It's just that those are training, and this game will be the first time that the two of them, who are also teachers and friends, will see the real chapter in an official competition.

"I'm not going to show mercy to Gan." This was what Abdul-Jabbar said when he shook hands with Gan Guoyang before the game.

"I won't take care of the elderly." Gan Guoyang thought in his heart.

And the referee has already thrown the ball into the air, and the big battle is about to start.
