In the next game, most of the Trail Blazers players were given the opportunity to play, and Gan Guoyang spent most of the time sitting on the bench arguing with Jim Paxson or pointing at Sabonis, and the game passed quickly.

The Trail Blazers, who have the advantage of strength and tacit understanding, easily defeated the Suns who were in the run-in period with 119:101, and Sabonis also completed his debut very well, scoring 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, the performance is still very good, everything is expected.

After the game, Gan Guoyang still generously invited Kevin Johnson out for a drink, Johnson played a little depressed tonight, and he committed two fouls in the first quarter, and he has not been able to find the rhythm of the game since then, and his performance is also unsatisfactory.

Gan Guoyang invited Johnson to the big bar he frequented in Chinatown, where he was a regular customer, and the longer he stayed in the NBA, the more friends he would have, they would come to Portland to play, they were opponents on the court, and Gan Guoyang still had to entertain them off the court.

Most of the American players like to go to bars and nightclubs, and Gan Guoyang can't always take them to eat Chinese food, so he has to go to nightclubs and bars with them.

The owner of this bar is a Malaysian, and there are a lot of Southeast Asians in Chinatown, although Southeast Asians are generally not enthusiastic about basketball, but helplessly, the Portland Trail Blazers are the only major league team in the whole Portland, and even in the entire Oregon area, and other things such as baseball, football, and ice hockey are nowhere to be found in Oregon.

So it can be said that in the whole of Oregon, Gan Guoyang is a sports hero here, basically he goes to any bar and nightclub in Chinatown, and the owner will choose to give him a discount, or simply not take money.

Because whichever store Gan Guoyang goes to, the popularity of which point will obviously increase a lot, and this is the case with this Malaysian bar.

The boss was also there tonight, and when he saw Gan Guoyang coming over with a friend, he quickly wanted to take Gan Guoyang to the private room he frequented, but Gan Guoyang waved his hand, saying that he didn't need a private room, as long as he was at the bar.

The two talked for a long time while drinking, Kevin Johnson is different from the average black man, he comes from a middle-class family, has a good tutor, and although basketball is his first hobby and career, his ambitions don't stop there.

Gan Guoyang also knew that this black boy from Sacramento wanted to participate in politics in the future, so Gan Guoyang always ridiculed him for talking and acting like a senator and secretary of state.

Johnson doesn't care, he is in awe of Gan Guoyang in basketball, and in other ways he also finds that Gan Guoyang is a very insightful person, completely different from those black players who only know how to play, pick up girls, and drink.

If nothing else, just about the political side, two people can talk for hours at a time.

Of course, Gan Guoyang is reluctant to get involved in any political-related issues, but sometimes, he can't help but use some of the social development experiences that people have summed up decades later to show Kevin Johnson in front of him, and bluff this kid into a daze.

Just when he was chatting, Gan Guoyang found that a very familiar person came over, it was the waitress who bumped into him that day and knocked over the wine.

"Haven't been expelled yet?" This was the first thing Gan Guoyang said when he saw her, and the girl who said this blushed.

After spilling the wine that time, she went back and was criticized by the foreman, and the wine money had to be deducted from her salary, but soon a man in a black suit came over and said that he would compensate for the spilled wine, and took out the money on the spot, and didn't even have to look for it.

The girl also wanted to ask why she was going to help her lose money, so the black suit left without looking back, and later the girl learned from someone else that the black suit was the bodyguard of Portland star Sonny Gan.

At this time, the girl realized who she was bumping into, and on her first day in Portland, she saw the Oriental giant wearing the No. 11 jersey on the big billboard at Portland Airport.

"No, I still have to work...... Oh yes, someone asked me to hand you this note. Gan Guoyang thought that the little girl was here to thank her, but she took out a note from her hand and handed it to Gan Guoyang.

"Is that your phone number? I might think about whether or not to call you in the evening. Every time Gan Guoyang came to the bar, a woman would stuff him with a phone note, including the small mailbox at the door of the team's locker room, which would always be stuffed with a communication note.

Gan's way of dealing with it is either to save a bag and throw it directly in the trash, or to grab a handful from it and give it to young players like Cauchy and Kenny Johnson who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent.

"No, it's not my phone, it's... It was a guest over there who asked me to hand it to you. The girl knew that Gan Guoyang thought she was handing him her phone, and hurriedly explained.

Gan Guoyang followed the direction pointed by the girl and found that the seat there was empty, and it seemed that the person should leave.

Gan Guoyang was a little inexplicable, who wanted to hand him a note like this? Gan Guoyang thought about it and opened the note in his hand and saw that there were three words written on it, "Skinheads, Wrist-wrestling, Conspiracy." ”

"Skinheads, wrist wrenching, conspiracy?" When Gan Guoyang saw these three words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought that three years ago, in a black nightclub in Portland, the skinheads suddenly attacked and rushed to the box of the Trail Blazers.

At that time, Gan Guoyang felt that there was something strange about this matter, the security guards of the nightclub did not show up from beginning to end, and the police were also late, if someone wanted to hurt the players of the Trail Blazers, then those skinheads would not bet with Gan Guoyang to wrestle their wrists.

But if it's just a coincidence, then all this is a bit of a coincidence, and judging from the performance of the leader at that time, he was quite calm, although he was covered with glass shards when he broke his wrist in the end, but he maintained restraint from the beginning to the end, and did not retreat easily, as if he was waiting for something to happen.

Later, he discussed this matter with Drexler, and both of them felt that if it was not Gan Guoyang who proposed to break his wrist and make a bet at that time, but the two sides fought, and it was the pioneer who made the first move, the consequences might be beyond imagination.

However, it has been a long time, and Gan Guoyang did not expect that it would suddenly be covered with sediment and reveal its clues again.

"What does that guy look like?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"I didn't see it clearly, he was wearing a cowboy hat, he was wearing a very ordinary outfit, he was a white man, and I don't know anything else." The girl thought for a moment and replied.

Kevin Johnson on the side asked Gan Guoyang what was going on, Gan Guoyang thought about it, and still told Kevin Johnson what happened.

Kevin Johnson, as a person who can get involved in politics in the future, obviously has a certain political acumen, he listened to Gan Guoyang's account, thought for a while and said: "If this is really a conspiracy, then the other side does not want to hurt the players of the Trail Blazers, and at the same time wants to create negative news about the Trail Blazers, then I can only say that he may want to get you." ”

Johnson's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, Gan Guoyang has also thought about this situation, Kevin Johnson said this, plus this note, plus some things in the summer, Gan Guoyang vaguely felt that there must be some connection.

Weinberg has been the owner of the Trail Blazers for so many years, won the championship, and made money, it should be said that he has no desire, and his interest in basketball has gradually decreased in recent years.

However, because of the arrival of Gan Guoyang and the fact that the team has begun to enter the ranks of the championship, the commercial value of the Trailblazers has been rising in recent years, and it is completely a high-quality asset, and Weinberg is not ready to sell the team for the time being.

Therefore, several wealth giants who wanted to buy the Trail Blazers this summer were rejected by Weinberg, and from the current situation, Weinberg will not sell the Trail Blazers for at least three years.

But in the turbulent capital market, anything can happen, Gan Guoyang has also talked to Weinberg before, Weinberg also mentioned that since the pioneers selected Gan Guoyang in 84, there are capitalists who want to take over this pioneer, they obviously fancy the opportunity, but Weinberg refused.

Now, there are still people trying to buy the only professional major league team in Oregon, and it is clear that this skinhead incident is a man-made plan to make things bigger, attract social attention, and finally wait for an opportunity to take down the Trail Blazers.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat still broke out on Gan Guoyang's head, if this is really the case, even if the players are not harmed, it will still have a negative impact on the team's management, training and operation in the end, which will definitely indirectly hurt the team's performance on the basketball court, and the team may fall apart in the end.

"It's just my guess, what are you going to do?" Kevin Johnson asked.

"How? Do nothing. The United States is a society controlled by capital, and I am just a working boy, and seeing myself clearly is more important than anything else. But since someone sent me a note, it means that something must have gone wrong with one of them. I just need to play basketball with peace of mind, so that I can adapt to all changes. Saying that, Gan Guoyang tore off the note in his hand.

In a capitalist society like the United States, the power of money is so powerful that ordinary people can hardly imagine, Gan Guoyang has a clear understanding of this, he can be regarded as a bigwig on the court, but in front of capital, he is just a small rich man.

The little rich man should protect his own one-third of an acre of land, and not easily move the idea of dominating the world.

But silently waiting for the opportunity, the little rich man will always become a giant crocodile one day.
