“…… larry，face，fade-aay…… got-it！ he-got-it！ (Larry, steering, leaning back shot...... The ball is in! He threw it! ）”

Gan Guoyang sat on the couch in the training hall and watched the video repeatedly, and the video recorder showed the scene where Bird leaned back to beat the Trail Blazers at the Boston Garden Arena.

"Hey, Gan, are you still watching? You've been watching it for a long time, and no matter how you look at it, you won't win this game. ”

"It's okay Clyde, I'll leave later, or you can go first."

"Okay...... By the way, I forgot to tell you that the All-Star voting results are in, you are the backup center in the West, and you squeezed Sigma down, congratulations. ”

"Thank you......"

Drexler left the training hall, leaving Gan Guoyang alone in the video room, staring at the flickering fluorescent screen in the dark.

After suffering a magical defeat by Bird in Garden Square, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland to continue to face the Los Angeles Lakers, and faced the top two teams in the league in two consecutive games, which put the Trail Blazers to a huge test.

In Portland, they didn't seem to be able to bounce back quickly from the one-point loss to Boston, where they were slaughtered by the Lakers at Memorial Coliseum and lost 106-122.

After that, in successive games with the Bucks, Spurs, Warriors, and Jazz, the Trail Blazers also won and lost, and failed to continue their indomitable momentum at the beginning of the year.

Among them, the most sluggish performance should be Gan Guoyang, his state began to fluctuate after the game against the Celtics, the offense was good and bad, the key is that his most stable defense will also have holes.

It stands to reason that it's normal for a rookie to be in a situation like this in the middle and late stages of the season, just before the All-Star break, because it's the most competitive time in the league and teams are fighting to the death to make the playoffs.

Once the All-Star Game is over, it means that the regular season has entered the final stage, and the teams have to make the final sprint.

Therefore, the players, coaches and staff of the Trail Blazers all expressed their understanding of Gan Guoyang's slump and continued to encourage him, hoping that he can get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

But only Gan Guoyang himself knows that things are far from being so simple.

As a non-senior fan in later generations, Gan Guoyang knew very little about the situation in the NBA in the 80s, so he didn't have any special feelings when he came to this time and space to play with stars of this era.

He thought that if he had been reborn in 1993 and then started playing in the NBA in 1996, he would have known a lot more stars.

However, he has heard of Larry Bird's name, he has also seen a lot of Larry Bird's videos, and he has deeply appreciated Larry Bird's superior strength in the game against Boston.

Losing to Bird wasn't too much to accept, but the problem was in the last goal.

Bird's lore this time is a famous one in history, and it has repeatedly appeared in various Bird videos in later generations, so Gan Guoyang has also seen this lore ball, and it is firmly imprinted in his mind.

And just when Bird received the ball and was about to shoot in that game, the picture of Bird scoring this goal flashed in Gan Guoyang's mind, and Gan Guoyang was close to the three-second zone at that time.

When he remembered this ball, he immediately wanted to rush up to interfere with Bird, but he found that he couldn't move!

That is to say, at that moment, Gan Guoyang's body was no longer controlled by his own brain, and he wanted to block, but the result was that he could only watch Bird throw in the lore, and then watch Bird calmly accept the cheers of the fans on the spot, and quietly leave the stadium like a nobody.

As soon as the game ended, Gan Guoyang's body left and he was able to act again, that is to say, at the moment when Gan Guoyang was able to change history, he was controlled by some unknown force and did not give him the opportunity to change history.

At this time, Gan Guoyang's mind was confused, he didn't say a word on the way back to Portland, he was just thinking about it, and his teammates thought that Gan Guoyang didn't come out of failure quickly.

There is one thing Gan Guoyang is very sure of, that is, after he comes to this time and space, he can change history.

For example, Gonzaga University won the NCAA championship, Ewing's Georgetown went home, robbed Sam Bowe of the top spot, and changed the fate of the Portland Trail Blazers.

But Gan Guoyang also knows that many things have not changed himself, such as Olajuwon was still the champion in 84, and Stockton finally went around in a circle and went to the Utah Jazz.

Now, after experiencing the last two seconds in Boston, Gan Guoyang's biggest concern is whether history has a boundary, some things he can change, and some things cannot.

Those things that don't work, as long as he touches them, will be hindered by some unknown forces, and even controlled by some forces to do something that can change history.

This speculation has become a lingering nightmare for Gan Guoyang lately, and the main thing is that he has no one to confide in, not Drexler, not Ramsay, and not Wang Fuxi.

He can only think and experiment by himself.

So he went all out to scavenge the few memories of the NBA in the 80s in his head, and then brought them into the games he had played to analyze.

One thing Gan Guoyang knows is that the current pioneers are definitely different from the pioneers in history, so the results of many games must have been changed, and what he cares about is that those games have not been changed.

As a result, watching the video after the game became his daily homework, and he watched the first game against the Kansas Kings this season, watching it one by one, and finally discovering some problems with it.

For example, in the three-overtime battle with the Phoenix Suns, the Trail Blazers could have solved the opponent in regular time, but in that game, Gan Guoyang always made some mistakes at the last moment, and some extremely inconspicuous mistakes.

For example, when fighting for the ball, the three of them grabbed together, the Trail Blazers and the Suns, but the two Trail Blazers collided together, allowing the Suns players to grab the ball.

For example, Gan Guoyang chooses to break through the bag and put the three-point line in defense, which is actually the right choice, but the Suns players can actually hit three-point shots, which is unthinkable.

Of course, in the end, the Trail Blazers won the game, and it relied on Gan Guoyang's key shot, which is inconsistent with the situation in history, the real history is that the Suns killed the Trail Blazers in three overtimes.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang didn't care about those small mistakes at all, this kind of mistake is normal in the game, this is not even a mistake, it can only be called "fate".

But in this game with the Celtics, this 'control' was revealed, it made Gan Guoyang unable to move in place, and Gan Guoyang knew that the real history was like this, which made Gan Guoyang understand that there must be a problem.

But what's the problem?

No matter how he thinks about breaking his head, Gan Guoyang is puzzled, in fact, it is already an unbelievable and incomprehensible thing for him to travel to this time and space all of a sudden, for his identity as a time-traveler that no one can talk to, Gan Guoyang has been depressed for many years.

Now there is an even more tricky logical and scientific unsolvable problem about "whether the traveler can change history", Gan Guoyang naturally thinks about it to no avail.

Not only was it fruitless, but this painstaking meditation and fear of unknown forces also affected Gan Guoyang's state, making him play abnormally in many matches in a row.

In this regard, Gan Guoyang even thought that this was the result of unknown forces, which made him play poorly in the game, causing the Trail Blazers to lose a few more games and return to the normal ranking.

This kind of thought tormented Gan Guoyang all the time, so that Gan Guoyang, who was originally devoted to basketball, began to doubt himself, doubting everything he had experienced, whether all this was a cosmic scam directed by someone, and he was just an ignorant actor.

On February 6, Drexler told Gan Guoyang a piece of news that did not make Gan Guoyang fall into joy, but became worried again.

Gan Guoyang squeezed out supersonic center Jack Sigma in the All-Star lineup voted by fans and became the Western Conference backup All-Star center that year.

This means that Gan Guoyang must have changed history, and Sigma's record of 7 All-Star selections will definitely be one less.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Indianapolis on February 10, and there are only four days left before this star feast, but Gan Guoyang is not excited at all.

"If my fate was decided at the beginning, then what was the point of me making these efforts? Or is such an effort also part of my destiny? Gan Guoyang still sat in the video hall and meditated.

"Hey Gan, it's late, the training hall is closing, let's go back." The staff in the training hall have all come to urge Gan Guoyang, he has been here for too long.

"Okay, I got it." Gan Guoyang knew that even if he thought like this, it would not lead to results.

Leaving the training hall, Gan Guoyang looked at the car parked outside the training hall and wondered if he should drive back.

Originally, the car at home, when Gan Youwei and Wang Fuxi were not there, he threw it at home and didn't use it, but last night Ke Xi borrowed Gan Guoyang's car and used it once, and then parked it at the training hall, and then prepared to drive back to Gan Guoyang's house with Gan Guoyang in the evening.

But Gan Guoyang stayed in the training hall for too long, and Cauchy couldn't wait, so he had to leave first and return the key to Gan Guoyang.

Now Gan Guoyang began to hesitate with the car keys, he never had the urge to drive before, because he was not very good at driving, although he drove well under the guidance of Wang Fuxi several times, but after all, he did not have a driver's license.

But tonight, Gan Guoyang had a very strong urge to drive back.

"It's getting late anyway, and there aren't many cars in Portland at night, so why don't you just drive back, and I can practice too." Driven by this thought, Gan Guoyang got into the car, inserted the key, and started the car.

"Whew, it's not that hard to drive, no wonder my dad can learn it easily." Gan Guoyang slowly got on the road and drove cautiously.

There are cars on the road, but not too much, so it is not difficult for him to drive, plus he has practiced a few times before, and he still drives decently.

As he got closer and closer to Gan Guoyang's house, there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, and Gan Guoyang unconsciously relaxed, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

In the vicinity of Gan Guoyang's house, there is a big downhill, and people who drive here will be careful, because the sight is relatively poor when crossing the slope.

But Gan Guoyang has no experience, he directly put the gear into neutral when going downhill, and wanted to rely on the brakes to brake, he didn't know that the car should rely on the engine gear to brake when going downhill.

In the section just going downhill, the lights of the car could not shine below, and when the car began to go down and the lights hit the road, Gan Guoyang was taken aback, and he found that there was a person lying on the ground!

The car without engine brakes slid straight down, Gan Guoyang hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but he had no knowledge and experience to deal with emergencies, he slammed the steering wheel while stepping on the brakes, which is very dangerous for a downhill car.

"Bang!" The car driven by Gan Guoyang underwent a special transformation, and its structure was not very stable, and as a result, the car overturned under such sharp braking and big steering.

Gan Guoyang felt as if he had been kicked in a tin box, and he thought to himself that he was going to die now.

But soon, the car rolled over on its side and stopped moving on the side of the road, and was stuck by a tree.

Gan Guoyang stood still in the car for a few seconds and realized that he should not have much of a problem because the car was not fast enough, and at the same time his seat belt was fastened and the airbag was also opened, so he should be unscathed except for a little scratching skin.

Gan Guoyang struggled to get out of the car, he looked around, because this is a rich residential community, there are few people, and at the same time, it is late, so no one can see it.

Although the car overturned on its side, it overturned on the grass and did not make a loud noise, and did not make any noise to nearby residents.

"Who the hell is that guy? How could you fall in the middle of the road? Gan Guoyang immediately remembered the person he saw lying in the middle of the road, and he immediately ran over to look.

The man was still lying on the slope, but he should not have been crushed by the car.

"Hey, hello? hello，man？ Gan Guoyang slowly approached the man, he wondered if this guy was dead, could it be that he was killed by the gang and thrown on the side of the road?

When he got close to this person, Gan Guoyang found that this was a white middle-aged man in a red and blue plaid shirt.

"Hey, are you alright?" Gan Guoyang squatted down and pushed him, he found that this person still had body temperature, and he felt it carefully.

Gan Guoyang shook him vigorously a few more times, thinking about whether to call the police.

At this time, the person lying on the road suddenly moved, and at the same time he turned over and lay on the ground head-on.

When he saw the face of this middle-aged man, Gan Guoyang was even more startled, this man's appearance was normal, but there were two big scars on his eyes!

In this case, this guy should be blind!

"What the fuck is going on? How could a blind man come here? Gan Guoyang didn't understand how a blind man could lie in the middle of the road in the middle of the night and commit suicide?

"Hey, buddy, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Gan Guoyang shouted at him a few more times, and the blind man slowly woke up, and then sat on the ground, still looking dazed.

"Let's get out of here first, and don't stay in the middle of the road." Gan Guoyang stepped forward to help the blind man up and lead him out of the middle of the downhill.

"Where is this?" The blind man began to ask.

"West End, this is West End."

Gan Guoyang helped the blind man to the grass, and at the same time walked to the overturned car, the car fell on the grass on its side, Gan Guoyang decided to rely on his own strength to turn the car over!

Gan Guoyang's strength is extremely amazing, and it is really difficult for him to turn over the overturned car, so without the help of the crane, Gan Guoyang really turned the car over!

After getting the car done, Gan Guoyang walked to the blind man, who still looked a little blind.

"Hey, hello, why are you lying in the middle of the road? I almost crushed you, but luckily I dodged it. Gan Guoyang wanted to ask what was going on with this blind man.

"Where is this? Why is it so cold? The blind man asked again where it was.

"This is the West Side, this is Portland." Gan Guoyang replied, and then he immediately noticed that an extremely strange look appeared on the blind man's face, a color mixed with surprise and fear.

"What's the matter, sir? Where do you live? I'll send you back...... Oh no, I can't drive anymore now, or you should go to my house first. Gan Guoyang thought that this guy was blind anyway, and there was no problem with bringing him back, seeing that he was wearing so few clothes, it would be terrible to freeze to death.

"Thank you, I... May I ask your name? I listen to your accent, as if ...... It seems to be a Chinese ......" Although Gan Guoyang's English is very slippery, it still inevitably has a Chinese accent.

Gan Guoyang knew that this guy was blind, his ears must be very sensitive, and it was normal for him to be heard to be Chinese.

"I'm Gan, if you follow basketball, you've probably heard of me, Sunny-Gump." Gan Guoyang replied that now he is a household name in the United States, after all, he is the first Chinese basketball star.

It's just that if this guy has always been blind, it should be normal to not know Gan Guoyang, and the blind can't watch basketball.

However, Gan Guoyang once again saw the previous look of surprise and fear on the blind man's face, this expression was illuminated by the bleak moonlight, with his blind eyes, it looked extremely weird and terrifying, Gan Guoyang couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.

"Today...... What day is today? ”

"February 6th, 1985, and it's almost February 7th."
