Chapter 205: Nemesis Nuggets

When Gan Guoyang left the Foxtail Nightclub, even a city that never sleeps like Los Angeles was already showing a trace of fatigue.

Some of the Trail Blazers players who were with Gan Guoyang had already taken the women back to the hotel early to "rest", and those who stayed in the Foxtail Nightclub and left with Gan Guoyang were mainly young players such as Drexler, Cauchy and Colt, who seemed to be a little unaccustomed to bringing night women back to the hotel.

But for them, in the dim and exciting box of the nightclub, doing enough things to consume most of their physical strength, so that they go back and fall asleep.

"Hey Gan, why do I think you're still in good spirits? Where the hell did you go, and was there any special interesting project? In the taxi, Cauchy put his arm around Gan Guoyang's shoulder and asked, Gan Guoyang was taken away by Chanmos after entering the foxtail nightclub, after which he disappeared from the sight of the team members, and when everyone was about to leave, he suddenly appeared again.

"Of course, I went to places that ordinary people can't go, and I enjoyed a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy." Gan Guoyang pretended to be mysterious.

In fact, later, Gan Guoyang mainly talked about all kinds of interesting things in the film industry with Zemeckis in the box, Gan Guoyang once again gave full play to his advantages from the future, and began to explain his views on future movies, many of which made Zemeckis praise, especially Gan Guoyang's elaboration of science fiction movies, among which Gan Guoyang's 3D movie "creativity" made Zemeckis yearn for it.

Originally, Qian Moss invited Zemeckis to come over and have a good time, and at the same time had a relationship with the emerging director Lala, but he didn't expect it to be the beauty of adults, which made Gan Guoyang and Zemeckis good friends.

However, the disadvantage of Qian Moss is that he is not learned and unskilled, and the advantage is that he is broad-minded or tolerant, and he is particularly good at the knowledge of interpersonal relationships, he knows that let Gan Guoyang and Zemeckis become friends, he Qian Mos not only did not suffer, but earned.

With Gan Guoyang, an "old classmate" and the addition of NBA stars, Simos's network will only spread more and more.

The next day, even though he returned to the hotel late the night before, Gan Guoyang was still the first of the team to arrive at the training hall and began to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Lakers.

To Gan's surprise, the other players all arrived on time, and no one was late, even Kenny Carr, an old drunkard and pervert, arrived at the training hall five minutes before the gathering.

"Hey, you can get up today? I thought you'd be so weak that you couldn't walk. Gan Guoyang secretly said to Carl, who was standing next to him after changing his clothes.

"I'm not old, to be honest, if I was five years ago, I could have come to the training gym an hour earlier." Kenny Carr bragged.

"That's right, and then our beloved Mr. Kenny Carr died in the line of duty, and he fell in a position of hard training, and then the league will give you a 'Model-workers' medal." Gan Guoyang sneered, and at this time, the whole team had already started physical training.

"What the fuck are 'model-workers'?" Karl is unclear about Gan Guoyang's Chinese vocabulary.

"It's someone who works as a model, I think you must like girls with model bodies......"

"That's right! That girl had a great figure last night, and I ............ with her."

Now the atmosphere of the whole team of the Trail Blazers is quite good, whether it is the relationship between the players or the hard work of training, it has reached a very good situation.

Gan Guoyang still remembers that when he first came to this team, although the atmosphere was not bad, there always seemed to be something between people, after all, there were too many personnel changes in this team and too many newcomers.

After that, he also had some conflicts with several players in the team, and now, Gan Guoyang does not dare to say that the contradictions will be completely resolved, but at least they can get along amicably.

What's more, the Trailblazers' training attitude was driven by hard-working young people like Gan Guoyang, Cauchy, and Drexler, and everyone began to adhere to the training schedule and often arrived at the training hall early.

This also made Gan Guoyang understand what it means to practice and what it means to be subtle.

After a night of madness, the Trail Blazers quickly recovered from a day of high-quality workout and were ready for their fourth contest with the Lakers this season.

In the first three battles, the Lakers took the lead with a 2:1 advantage, and the Trail Blazers' first defeat of the season was due to the Lakers, and then in the second meeting, the Trail Blazers had no power to fight back.

But in the new year of 1985, Gan Guoyang defeated the Lakers at the Great Western Forum Arena, which greatly boosted the morale of the Trail Blazers and made the Trail Blazers much less afraid of the Lakers.

This game can be said to be a battle for the Trail Blazers to prove themselves, and if they win one game, the Trail Blazers and Lakers will have a tie in the regular season (there will be one more at the end of the season), which will undoubtedly greatly boost their confidence against the Lakers.

You know, in the entire West, there are few teams that can pose much of a threat to the Lakers' ultra-luxurious roster.

Soon, on March 26, the Trail Blazers had the opportunity to prove themselves at the Great Western Forum Arena.

The same yellow ocean, the same powerful purple and gold army, the pioneers of the fierce horses feel that they already have the strength to challenge the "King of the West"!

Sure enough, the Trail Blazers, who were in excellent condition, began to bombard the Lakers indiscriminately in the first quarter, Drexler's starter made the Lakers' defensive arrangement not very adaptable, and under the leadership of Drexler, the Trail Blazers played an overwhelming offense in the first quarter, turning the "show-time" Lakers into a shrinking positional offensive team.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers took a 36-26 lead in the first quarter.

For the Lakers, who are strong and playing at home, falling behind by 10 points in the first quarter seems to be nothing at all, and the Magic can run a few back and forth to tie the score.

But they didn't expect that no matter how they caught up in the later games, they could never completely turn the score around, and the situation of the whole game was completely controlled by the Trail Blazers.

In this game, Gan Guoyang used a steel-like penalty area defense to reject the Lakers' easy-ball again and again, even if the foul pulled the opponent down, he did not let the Lakers play with momentum.

After that, although Gan Guoyang left the court with six fouls, he also contributed a season-high seven blocks and 14 rebounds.

In the end, with Magic Johnson missing a three-pointer, the Trail Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 107-104 on the road, winning seven in a row while leveling the regular season record of the two sides to 2-2.

The two teams will have to wait until the regular season in April, and possibly the playoffs, where they will only meet in the Western Conference Finals, judging by their standings.

After this game, the morale of the entire Trail Blazers is at its peak, which is a good thing for a team that is about to make the playoffs and can adjust themselves to the brutal challenges of the playoffs.

However, after beating the Lakers, there is a trickier opponent waiting for them.

On the 29th, the Trail Blazers traveled to Seattle to grab their eighth straight win at the home court of the SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics are in pretty bad shape, they have lost four in a row and the playoffs are basically hopeless.

At the same time, the team's main center, Jack Sikma, who was robbed of the All-Star bench position by Gan Guoyang this year, is out due to injury, which can be described as making matters worse.

The game was as predicted by many, and the Trail Blazers once again destroyed their opponents 43-27 with a stormy attack in the first quarter, and they led Seattle by 16 points.

Jerome Cauthy had a wonderful performance in this game of abuse, he scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks, and became a new force on the bench.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, there were no spectators in the stands, and Blackburn, the "voice of Seattle" who had commented on Gan Guoyang's NCAA finals, also said on the radio: "The audience left, the stools were cold, the lights were dim, and the game was about to end, but when I looked at the clock, there was still a damn quarter on it." ”

The final score was 130-95, and the Trail Blazers' biggest lead was 45 points.

After a massacre, the Trail Blazers finally ran into trouble, and their next stop was Denver, the Colorado Plateau.

If the Trail Blazers were evenly matched against the Lakers, they lost both games against the Denver Nuggets, the second-best team in the West this season.

And these two teams can be said to have a lot of ties this season, and last season's shocking deal was completed between the two teams.

Vanderwig's cannon came from the Denver Boom Team, and Denver's current core players, Fatleaf and Calvin Knight, both used to play for the Trail Blazers.

Calvin Knight was also named an All-Star this season, and the versatile power forward brought out his best potential in Denver's free-spirited team, while Fatleaf was an inconspicuous point guard who was also amazingly well-rounded in Denver — and he was starting to show a natural ability to brush up a triple-double.

Every time Gan Guoyang sees Fateh, he always thinks of a point guard in later generations - Ralph Alston, their distant round head and mouth are really similar.

But the process of playing with the Nuggets has never been easy, and Gan Guoyang hates playing against the Nuggets very much, because he is always running, running, running.

Gan Guoyang's physical strength is not a problem, but as a center forward, it is not a happy thing to always run back and forth at both ends of the court.

However, Ramsey dealt with a run-and-bomb team like the Nuggets that does not defend and defensively attack, and his method is to "fight poison with poison", you run Lao Tzu and run with you, to see who runs to death first.

In games like this, the center tends to be redundant, and Gan Guoyang happened to not have three assists in the last game, so he sat on the bench and watched most of the time.

As a result, in the dazzling head-to-head battle, the Denver Nuggets had the last laugh 130-120, which also allowed them to remain undefeated against the Trail Blazers in the regular season.

The Trail Blazers' eight-game winning streak came to an end.

"What do you think of the Nuggets? Your winning streak has been ended, what will you do against them in the playoffs? After the game, Gan Guoyang was asked this question by reporters, because judging from the current ranking, as long as the first round does not overturn in the gutter, the two teams will meet in the semifinals.

"It's probably a good thing that the winning streak is ended, the regular season winning streak doesn't mean much, it brings a lot of pressure and we need to relax and prepare for the playoffs. The Nuggets are great, but they're not destined to be a playoff team, and the Trail Blazers are, I guess you all know why, thank you. ”
