Chapter 206: Fan Bet

April 1, 1985, International April Fool's Day, a day that made some people happy, and others trembled.

For those who like to tease other people, it is a pleasure to cheat on people on April Fool's Day for fun, and for those who don't want to tease others but not to be teased, they are always on high alert on this day of lies.

"Hey Gan, today's training has been cancelled, do you want to go somewhere to have fun?" Before Gan Guoyang left home early in the morning, he received a call from Kenny Carr, who told him that he had no training today.

"No kidding Kenny, it's hard for you to call me so early, Happy April Fool's Day." Gan Guoyang reacted extremely quickly, and he thought it was Carl calling and joking with him.

"I'm not kidding, you're not the only one in the world who wakes up at five o'clock every morning, well, I'm telling you, it's the day of the NCAA Finals! I've bought my plane ticket and I'm ready to go to Kentucky! โ€

Gan Guoyang only remembered when he heard Karl's words that April 1 was the day of the 1985 NCAA National Finals, which couldn't help but remind Gan Guoyang of the earth-shattering battle he had with the Pumas in Seattle a year ago.

This year's NCAA Finals moved from the West Coast to the Mid-East, a traditional basketball powerhouse in Lexington, Kentucky.

The two teams in the final are the season's No. 1 seed, Georgetown University, which died in a bulldog last year, and the season's No. 8 seed, Villanova University.

"Okay Carl, but why are you calling me? I didn't say I wanted to go with you, and I didn't buy a plane ticket. โ€

"Come on, I knew you would forget about this important race, so yesterday I booked your plane ticket for you! I'll drive to your house in a little while, and we'll go to the airport together, along with Sampson and Clyde. โ€

Not long after the phone call between the two, Kenny Carr drove his Land Rover to Gan's doorstep, and at this time Gan Guoyang was fully dressed and got into the giant car full of important players from the Trail Blazers.

"You've got to slow down Carl, if something happens to us, the Trail Blazers are finished." Gan Guoyang sat in the front seat and watched Carl's speed get faster and faster, and said worriedly.

"I said Gan, you're not afraid of anything when you play on the court, why do you look so worried when you drive a fast car? Also, it is said that you still don't know how to drive? Carl didn't listen to Gan Guoyang's dissuasion, and continued to drive straight to the Portland airport on the road.

"yes, I don't think I'm going to be fit to drive a car in my life." Gan Guoyang's hairs stood on end when he remembered the rollover accident that night and the branch that punctured the window.

"Then your life is really one less fun." Kenny Carr is the epitome of this kind of life that must be fulfilled to the fullest.

Kenny Carr may not be the boss of the team, or even the main player, but this lively and cheerful guy with a lot of experience in accidents is an out-and-out locker room glue.

So what activities the Trail Blazers players have, Carl always takes the lead, and he especially likes to pull Gan Guoyang to play, although Gan Guoyang will refuse most of the time.

In addition to the fact that Carl values Gan Guoyang's superstar potential, Carl himself also feels that it will always become interesting to be with Gan Guoyang.

At Carl's speed, the four big guys quickly arrived at the Portland airport and got on the plane to Kentucky.

Since Gan Guoyang came to the United States, especially after joining the NBA, he has taken a plane more often than he took a car in his later life.

The well-developed aviation system of the United States soon sent four people from Washington State to the distant city of Lexington, Kentucky.

"By the way, Gan, do you know why Carl called early in the morning to invite you to Lexington?" Drexler suddenly asked mysteriously at Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang is actually really strange, Carl brought three people in a car, and these three guys got up earlier than him? Gan Guoyang smelled a hint of "conspiracy" and asked.

"Probably because I'm handsome." Gan Guoyang said "coldly".

"Hahaha~ No, because this is Lexington, the home of the University of Kentucky, and tonight's NCAA Finals will be played at the home of the University of Kentucky, Rapp Coliseum!"

Although Gan Guoyang has been in the United States for many years, is also a professional athlete, and has won the NCAA championship, he does not know much about the American basketball world.

His only two impressions of the University of Kentucky were: first, there were many famous players who graduated here; Second, their twin towers were by me in last year's semi-finals.

As for which city the University of Kentucky is in, what kind of history they have, and where their home stadium is, Gan Guoyang knows nothing.

And those three guys, they simply went out all night last night to be happy, and when they talked about tomorrow's NCAA Finals, they thought of Gan Guoyang's fact that he had eliminated the University of Kentucky.

This year's finals will be held at the home of the University of Kentucky, and in addition to the fans of the two teams in the finals, there will definitely be many University of Kentucky fans present.

Sure enough, when the four of them settled down and set off for the campus of the University of Kentucky, from time to time there would be some student fans in the school who came forward to ask Drexler and Sampson to sign autographs, but no one asked Gan Guoyang for autographs.

Not only that, some fan groups will also give Gan Guoyang a middle finger and whistle, or yell at him, which makes Gan Guoyang very unhappy.

"I'll go to the toilet and wait for me for a while." Gan Guoyang said, and left alone.

"Hey, aren't we going too far, bringing Gan here and insulting these rude brat Kentucky." Sampson saw that Gan Guoyang was not very happy, and felt a little regretful.

"I thought the fans in Kentucky would be a little more educated, maybe I underestimated the feud between the schools." Mastermind Kenny Carr said he saw the rude students and felt the urge to rush up and beat them.

"No, you see I don't have any hatred for you, even though you're a stinky guy from North Carolina State." Drexler, who was on the sidelines, said that Carl's North Carolina state had shattered Drexler's championship dreams.

"Not everyone is a gentleman like you, and I don't believe you don't have any ideas, otherwise why do you keep dunking on my head in training?"

While the three of them were talking and laughing, Gan Guoyang was alone in search of a convenient place on the campus in Kentucky.

If it's the NBA stars of the 21st century who come to see the NCAA Finals, then bodyguards are definitely indispensable, and maybe there will be official executives who invite them to the VIP booth to wait for the game to begin.

But Gan Guoyang, the MVP player of last year's NCAA Finals, was alone on campus in Kentucky looking for a toilet.

Finally, Gan Guoyang found a toilet in a school building, and when he entered, he found another person standing in front of the urinal, a white boy in a dark jersey.

"Wow! It's Gan! You are Gan! This boy was so excited when he saw Gan Guoyang that he pointed at Gan Guoyang without even fastening his pants.

This should be the first time Gan Guoyang has met someone who is full of excitement after seeing him today, and before that, those Kentucky students who saw Gan Guoyang were surprised, but they seemed to be restraining their excitement - because Gan Guoyang was an enemy of Kentucky.

"Yes, I'm Gan, but you...... Can you pull up your pants first? Gan Guoyang pointed to the boy and said.

"Oh, sorry...... I'm a little ...... I'm a little too excited, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really ...... Oh I don't know how to describe it, sign me a name! On my clothes! The boy took out a pen and said to Gan Guoyang.

"Okay, but you'll have to wait a little while for me to finish my problem, and I'd better wash my hands if I need to."

After Gan Guoyang finished solving the problem and washing his hands, he picked up the boy's pen and signed his name on his jersey.

"Are you a student at Villanova University?" Gan Guoyang saw that the boy's jersey had the word "Villanova" on it.

"Uh...... Well, I'm not a Villanova student yet, but I will soon be! The boy replied.

It turned out that this boy from Philadelphia had applied to Villanova University this year and was admitted early, he studied market economy, and Gan Guoyang also learned that he was a baseball player, but at the same time he was a basketball fan, and this time he made a special trip to Lexington to see this game.

"Hey, Gan, guess who's going to win the championship?" This boy is very talkative, and he quickly chatted with Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang didn't have any arrogance, and after thinking about it, he said, "I think you will definitely support Villanova University?" Georgetown is clearly stronger, but ...... Still, I think Villanova University will win! โ€

"Oh~ Well, even though I'm wearing a Villanova University jersey, I don't think they can beat Georgetown, you know, Georgetown has Patrick Ewing! And Villanova doesn't have you, Sunny-Gump. โ€

"Haha~ How about we make a bet?" Gan Guoyang said with a smile.

As soon as he heard about the bet, the boy's eyes immediately lit up!

"Okay, let's bet! I think Georgetown will win the championship! If you lose...... You lost...... Give me tickets to the NBA Finals! โ€

"Okay...... If I can make it to the finals, I'll definitely give you a VIP seat, and if you lose... I haven't figured it out yet, but I'll tell you what to do? โ€

"No problem! I'm not afraid anyway! When the boy thought about it, he felt that he would not lose this bet whether he won or lost, and he would be happy if Villanova won.

"OK, okay, I'm leaving, my friend is still waiting for me, by the way, what's your name?"
