Chapter 450: The-shot

On the evening of May 7, Gan Guoyang witnessed one of the most classic shots of Michael Jordan's career "the-shot" in front of the TV, Jordan led the Bulls to shoot the winning goal in the last second of the fifth game of life and death, 99:1oo behind the Cavaliers by one point, and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, leading the Bulls to the sixth pick in the East, defeating the Cavaliers with a score of 3:2, and successfully advancing to the next round.

Gan Guoyang watched Jordan jump high like a cheetah after the lore, waving his fist hard, and couldn't help but feel a little boiling in his heart, this is a perfect shot, even the score is so perfect, 1o1:1oo, Gan Guoyang almost threw the water cup in his hand when Jordan threw this goal.

At the same time, the opponent of the Trail Blazers in the finals has also been released, and the Phoenix Suns beat Seattle Music at home and successfully reached the Western Conference semifinals, but Gan Guoyang at this time did not care about the opponent in the semifinals, and he especially wanted to call Jordan.

So Gan Guoyang ran to the side and picked up the telephone, and then took out a phone book from the drawer, which recorded Jordan's BP number, in that era when there was no mobile phone, the BP machine became an important tool for people to contact, at that time in the United States BP machine has been very common, in fact, China has also begun to use BP machine.

After calling the paging station of the BP machine and saying the number, Gan Guoyang hung up the phone, picked up the basketball from the room and went to his yard to practice, Gan Guoyang once shot such an exciting goal, the NCAA finals, the finals, so he can experience the agitated mood, the kind of excitement that is quiet for a moment, and the world is only left with his own kind of pleasure, so after seeing Jordan score that goal, Gan Guoyang can empathize with himself.

"Forrest Gump, you still have to run out to play, haven't you trained enough today?" Wang Fuxi heard Gan Guoyang's voice and came out of the study, only to see Gan Guoyang running to the basketball court in the backyard with the ball.

"Jordan will call me later, remember to call me!" Gan Guoyang did not forget to remind Wang Fuxidao.

Gan Guoyang came to the court, and at the position where Jordan shot just now, he used the same posture to stay in the air and then shot.

"Huh!" Gan Guoyang also hit this jumper, but there was no one in front of him to defend it, so it was not a game.

Gan Guoyang didn't stop, he kept shooting, shooting and shooting, imagining the 1984 NCAA Finals, imagining the 1986 Finals, imagining every time he hit the key ball and the killing shot, the excitement and fanaticism made him excited, and it was this kind of thrill of survival that made him tenacious and unyielding in his pursuit of victory after victory.

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Fuxi walked to the courtyard and told him that Jordan's call came, Gan Guoyang hurried back to answer the phone, and as soon as he got the phone, he heard Jordan's voice: "I did it, I did it!" I feel like I'm standing in the clouds, I feel like it's the best day of my life, I feel like I'm different from before, it's different, I feel like the championship has opened the door to me! ”

Jordan's voice was very loud, and there was a murmur behind him, Gan Guoyang estimated that he should be celebrating with his teammates now, and there should be many people who called the bp machine to paged Jordan tonight, but he replied to Gan Guoyang as soon as possible.

"You're not far from it! I'll be waiting for you in the finals, and I'll show you what the real 'the-shot' is! ”

"Hahaha, no kidding, your three-legged cat shooting skills." Jordan has always been unconvinced by Gan Guoyang's shooting level, because Gan Guoyang's three-point shooting is actually better than him. "I'm not kidding, my shot is as good as your layup, but you think about how to beat Ewing first, and if you can't even do a gorilla, don't mention beating me."

"Wow, wow, you still have to worry about yourself, Ewing I don't care about it at all, he wasn't my opponent when he was in college, you see." It makes sense that Jordan doesn't look down on Ewing, who lost to North Carolina in the finals when Georgetown was in college, and Ewing was terrible at the time, and it was Jordan who killed Georgetown.

"Then I'll tell you, Kevin Johnson was my underdog in high school, and I could beat him up so much that I didn't even know him." Kevin Johnson has become the Suns' top name this season, and the rise has been staggering, and Johnson appeared as the finale when the Suns played. However, Gan Guoyang obviously doesn't like Kevin Johnson either, and Gan Guoyang led the team to kill Johnson's Sacramento High School in the Southern California finals.

Ewing, who was preparing for the second round in New York at this time, and Kevin Johnson, who was also immersed in joy in the battle of life and death, must not have known that the two of them, Phoenix and New York's New Hope and City Basketball heroes, were so despised by these two guys on the phone.

However, they are really qualified and capable of despising, with the personalities of the two of them, even if they say these words in front of Ewing and Kevin Johnson, Ewing and Johnson may not dare to speak back, and they will suffer a lot.

The two guys chatted on the phone for a long time, and finally Wang Fuxi urged Gan Guoyang to go to bed, and Gan Guoyang hung up the phone and went back to the room obediently.

……………………

On May 9th, the playoffs were all over, and the semifinals of the East and West have been released, the Portland Trail Blazers in the West vs. the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Utah Jazz, the Detroit Pistons in the East easily did the Celtics who lost Bird, the opponent in the semifinals is the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Chicago Bulls will challenge the New York Knicks, the Bulls and the Knicks, Jordan and Ewing's feud has officially kicked off.

Before the game, Sabonis sat in the locker room in civilian clothes, he looked a little lost, Sabonis in the first round of the playoffs was still quite good, dutifully completed his task, Manute Ball did nothing in front of Sabonis, as an NBA rookie this is quite not easy.

Sabonis had wanted to continue fighting with the team in the semi-finals, but he had a knee problem, so he followed the advice of the team doctor and chose to take a two-week break for the sake of his long-term career.

In two weeks, Sabonis won't have a chance to play in the semifinals unless the Trail Blazers and Suns play Game 7.

"Have fun with Avidas, if I were you, I'd sit comfortably in the best spot in the Memorial Stadium and comment on how bad those guys on the field are playing while watching the game! How awesome it would be if it were me! Gan Guoyang looked at Sabonis's sad face, stepped forward to comfort him, and said that there were still ten minutes left before the start of the game.

Sabonis knew that Gan Guoyang was joking with him, but he was really depressed, so he just looked up and smiled bitterly.

"Okay, okay, Avidas, I promise to solve the Suns in 4 games, and you can rest assured, the Utah Jazz can't hold out 4 games in front of the Lakers, and then the Western Conference Finals can be played in advance, and when you recover, you can go to teach Abdul-Jabbar a lesson and see him off."

Gan Guoyang boasted of solving the Suns in four games in Haikou, but he was not joking, the Trail Blazers swept the Suns in the same division in the regular season, even if Sabonis is not up, the Trail Blazers have an advantage in every position against the Suns.

So Gan Guoyang has every reason to release such big words, and Gan Guoyang has always been a person who does what he says, because he never brags about unsure bulls.

……………………

"Sabonis is plagued by injuries and should have missed the entire semifinals, but the Trail Blazers did not send an inside combination of Gan and Williams, but unexpectedly used Kevin Duckworth, which should be his second appearance this season, and it seems that Adelman really doesn't want Gan to play center, which will put him in the opponent's bag."

The TV station that got the right to broadcast live tonight is ESPN, and the commentator is Don Patrick, but he is not partnered with Bill Wharton, who has not yet received a contract from ESPN at this time, and the one who participated in the playoff commentary is the heavyweight guest invited by ESPN, former NBA head coach, Hubie Brown.

"The Trail Blazers used Duckworth for one purpose, to strengthen their defense and beat the Suns with defense." Hubby Brown's commentary is simple and straightforward, but as a master tactician and former NBA head coach, he hits the nail on the head.
