'What do you think of the young players in this game? There were several rookies who played well in this game, and Colter, a sophomore, contributed the final stunner, and he played very well in this game as well. ”

"Oh, yes, the youngsters in our squad are very characteristic, even if they are not top notch – except for our centre-forwards, of course, but they have a distinct character and a spirit to fight on the pitch, which I find commendable."

"Will they get more playing opportunities after this game?"

'Possibly, I'll have to see how they do afterwards, but I'm sure they'll develop into great players very quickly, and I'm not surprised that some of them become the main players in the team.'

"Okay, thank you Mr. Ramsay, thank you for your time with us......"

After the game between the Trail Blazers and the Hawks, Ramsey was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, and Ramsey decisively used the new substitutes to stabilize the situation on the court in the bad situation of the main players not playing well.

In the end, although Colt's goal was unpredictable, and Ramsey's substitution for Colt was also due to Valentine's dismissal, but this could not hide Ramsey's achievements in this game.

By the time Ramsey was being interviewed, the Trail Blazers players had already gone back to the locker room with Colter in front of him.

Along the way, Gan Guoyang also took the lead in shouting "greatest Steve" (the greatest), and in the players' tunnel they sent Colt into the locker room like a king.

The Trail Blazers' locker room hasn't been so lively for a long time, and I have to say that victory is the best catalyst for a team, as long as it can win, especially in this way of winning, all kinds of contradictions will be temporarily eliminated.

"Hey, greatest-steve, how do you feel after the lore is successful? Would you like to thank your mom and dad? After Gan Guoyang ran to the locker room, he took out a magazine rolled into the shape of a microphone and began to simulate a reporter interviewing Colt who was changing clothes.

Colt also grinned when he saw Gan Guoyang like this, and he said to Gan Guoyang's rolled microphone: "I want to thank my mother for raising me and allowing me to get an education and embark on this path; I would also like to thank Gan for getting me back on track. ”

"Steve! Is Gan your dad? Jerome Cauchy yelled at Colt after hearing that Colt didn't mention his dad because, like most black players, Colter was born into a single-parent family.

"If I were Colt's father, you'd call me grandpa!" Gan Guoyang replied to Cauchy.

Six wins in a row after six consecutive defeats, and two wins in a row away at the same time, it is not easy.

After a period of chaos, the team is finally slowly getting back on track thanks to Gan Guoyang's stubborn support and Ramsay's return.

Gan Guoyang fully experienced the joy after victory, and it was because this joy was so charming that he hated defeat so much.

……………………

In the evening, before leaving Atlanta for the next game, the Trail Blazers team went to the famous local bar and nightclub to relax, but three people stayed in the hotel and did not go out.

Gan Guoyang still doesn't like to go to nightclubs and bars, especially black bars, no matter how famous Gan Guoyang is, he still doesn't fit in with the black cultural circle.

The other two were Van de Werch and Drexler, both of whom stayed at the hotel for treatment due to injuries.

Drexler returned against Atalanta, but he only played 23 minutes and scored 10 points.

His injury has improved so far and he will get more playing time in the next game.

Van de Vercki's situation was even worse, he had a good performance in the evening game at key moments, but he didn't feel his ankle problem until after the game, and after a review by Dr. Cook, it was initially determined that it was an ankle injury, and it could be about two weeks out of action, and the exact situation will not be determined until he returns to Portland.

The three of them were idle and ignored, plus Ramsay, who was even more unlikely to go out, and the four of them could just get together for a table of mahjong.

Gan Guoyang originally wanted to teach his teammates to play mahjong, but he found that this thing was too playful and demoralizing, so he did not teach China's national skills.

So, the four of them played poker in the room where Ramsey lived.

It was also the first time this season that some of the team's most important players were actually sitting together, and all the topics that had not been touched in the past naturally came to the table.

Ramsey was the first to bring up the topic, saying, "This is going to be my last season with the Trail Blazers, I wonder what you all have planned?" ”

This is the first time Ramsey has really spoken out about his departure from the Trail Blazers next season, even though everyone already knows it.

The three of them didn't know what to say for a while, but after a while, Vanderwig spoke.

"Perhaps, me too, even earlier."

Now everyone is talking about it, and Ramsey and Van der Veric both think this will be their last season with the Trail Blazers.

"I remember when I first came to the Trail Blazers, which was last season, I felt like Coach Ramsay would be the best coach for me, and if he was leaving, I thought I would go." Vanderwig added that he didn't know if what he said was true or not.

Of course Gan Guoyang didn't believe it, he still remembered what Vanderwich said to him when he practiced after training, Gan Guoyang smiled and responded: "Come on, Kiki, will you follow Coach Ramsay to another team?" Mr. Ramsey is said to be going back to college to coach — or women's basketball. ”

"Shut your foul mouth, Gan, if the Trailblazers are willing to give me a contract with an average of 1.5 million a year, I will stay here." Vanderwig looked a little annoyed.

"1.5 million per year...... Oh my God, has this one and a half million of our elegant fast gunner Kiki lost his grace? And I don't think that cunning guy at Inman would give me 1.5 million. Gan knows that Vanderwich came to the Trail Blazers with a contract signed with the Nuggets, and his contract expires this season.

However, the Trail Blazers never renewed the contract with Van Deweewch, and explained by Inman's reason that the Trail Blazers wanted to save this money and directly give Gan Guoyang a big cake.

Of course, for various reasons, Gan Guoyang rejected Inman's proposal for a long-term contract in the first negotiation, and the number negotiated at that time was not 1.5 million, I don't know how it became this number when it came to Vanderwig.

"One and a half million...... Oh my God, Bird is only 1.8 million. Drexler was still a little staggered to hear this figure, and his salary this year was only 420,000.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't want to sign a contract with an annual salary of 1.5 million even if Inman gives me, I will let him save himself from signing a contract with Kiki." Gan Guoyang played a card and said.

"Don't be kidding, Gan, no one can't get along with money. And I think you're worth the price, I don't have the idea of wanting to get a piece of the pie with you, everyone in this alliance eats on their own ability. If the Trail Blazers don't want to give me a big contract, then I can work for other teams, it's nothing, business league, we're all workers. You're only a hero when you're on the pitch and score the killer goal, and once the game is over, you're an employee of the boss's staff, and it's a reality show every night in the big theaters with other employees, and that's it. Vanderwig said as he played a card.

Gan knows that Vanderwicki's words do make sense, and the longer he stays in the NBA, the stronger this feeling becomes.

"But I still want to chase something spiritual with my staff friends...... For this I can give up a part of the substance. ”

"Oh no, no, don't look like a saint who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, you're not as good as a trash boy with a dirty mouth. Remember, don't get stuck with money. Vanderwich listened to Gan Guoyang's words and said.

Gan Guoyang just smiled, of course he wouldn't have trouble with money, but at present, this money is not in his eyes, he still has a higher and bigger pursuit, and money will not be a problem at all at that time.

"Alright, I'm done playing! I've won, and you'll be invited to dinner in Boston tomorrow. ”

While Gan Guoyang and Van der Verczel were chattering, Coach Ramsey silently finished all the rackets in his hand and won the game, and their chips were tomorrow's lunch.

……………………

The third and most grueling stop on the Trail Blazers' four-game road trip was a flight to Boston on the Northeast Coast to take on the formidable Boston Celtics.

After losing the Finals and losing the championship last season, especially after losing to the Lakers for the first time in the Finals, the Celtics are bound to make a comeback this season.

The Celtics players started hard training early in the offseason, and as soon as the Finals were over, Larry Bird returned to his scorching home in Indiana and began the "death run" in the suffocating heat, punishing himself for his poor performance in the Finals with this inhuman torture.

And the management of the Celtics also brought in former superstar Bill Wharton to further fill his front court and make the team stronger.

Since the start of the season, they have lost only two of their 19 games, again because of careless losses to the underdogs of the Pacers and Cavaliers.

In the games they won, almost every game was a big win, and the game was often no suspense in the fourth quarter, which was enough to prove their strength.

Before the Trail Blazers' visit to Boston, the invincible Green Army had won nine in a row, and against the Portland Trail Blazers, who had won six in a row, it was destined to be an earth-shattering battle!
