Chapter 479: Auburn Hills

"It's like a dream, but why don't I feel so grounded?"

The night before leaving Portland, after finishing saving with Wang Fuxiwen, Gan Guoyang said this to her.

"Before real success, no matter how sure you are, people's hearts are always apprehensive." Wang Fuxi stroked Gan Guoyang's strong chest muscles and said to her softly.

Gan Guoyang slowly pulled out the arm that was placed under Wang Fuxi's head, got out of bed and went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet, ready to take a shower.

The first two games of the finals went unexpectedly smoothly, just like they played the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, the difference is that Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers have long been right in the many encounters in the regular season

The Lakers have established enough psychological advantage, and the strength of the two teams is comparable to that of 88, and the score of 4:1 is completely expected by the team, and the Lakers do not look that

It's terrible.

But the Detroit Pistons are different, the two teams have wins and losses in the regular season, and to a certain extent, the Pistons' lineup is to restrain the Trail Blazers, the Pistons have strong interior defense and outside firepower

Strong, the historic 1990 Pistons made a Rick Mahon (who was drafted when the new team was formed in 1990) and also played the Trail Blazers to the brim, and now the Trail Blazers are the biggest

Relying on nature is Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang was lying in the bathtub, thinking about every detail of the game, and one thing he could confirm was that the hard power of this Trail Blazers team was definitely above the Pistons, and it had gone through the playoffs

Run-in, the team has reached its best state in all aspects, although the Pistons are strong, but they are tough head-on, and their lack of offensive power inside is the biggest flaw.

And after the absence of Dantley, although Aquilli gets along more well with his teammates, his form is not as good as Dantley, the first two games of the finals, when the two sides

When it came to the key points, the Pistons' lack of low-post offensive hands was greatly exposed, and in the face of Gan Guoyang's continuous scoring on the inside, the Pistons did not have a reliable inside

Line fire.

Gan Guoyang took a shower and looked at his arm, which was full of scratches, of course, this was not the blood marks left by Wang Fuxi scratching him, but was pushed by the Pistons during the game

It is conceivable that after arriving in Detroit, such devastation will only intensify.

Gan Guoyang is fully prepared for this, but I don't know if the other players of the Trail Blazers are so mentally prepared to deal with the bad boy who returns to the palace in Auburn Hills

Sub-legions.

……………………

At noon the next day, Gan Guoyang and his teammates, coaches and staff of the Trail Blazers took a flight to Detroit, Michigan, but the plane was delayed by two due to heavy rain

It took off for an hour, and during the flight, there were thunderstorms and turbulence, and everyone was almost worried about whether they would go up and not get down.

Thankfully, the plane arrived safely at the Detroit airport, nearly three hours later than scheduled and just in time for the rush hour

A large number of people who work in car companies are driving home from the city center in their own cars, the roads are clogged up, and the pioneers' buses are difficult to walk on the road

Yes.

By the time they arrived at the designated hotel, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and the carload of people had not eaten dinner, and everyone was drowsy on the road, Ade

Erman originally wanted to do some simple training after arriving in Detroit, but seeing the team's state like this, he had to cancel the training so that everyone could rest and prepare for the next day's game at Auburn Hills Palace.

At night, there was another thing that made the Trail Blazers players depressed, that is, all the rooms they stayed in were leaning against the side of the road, and as a result, the cars on the road seemed to have been negotiated at night, and all the horns sounded "salute" on the road passing by the hotel, which made the players uneasy.

"The Detroit and the Bostonians have been battling against each other for so many years, and I've learned a lot." Gan Guoyang had to put on earplugs in his room to fall asleep, these little tricks were all invented by the Celtic cardinal, and the pistons suffered all these methods, and now they are also doing the same to harm their opponents.

Anyway, after waking up the next day, the Trail Blazers' players are not in such good shape, at least not as good as they were in Portland, where everyone can sleep comfortably at home.

"Cheer up! We should be more energetic away from home, because the whole city, no one will support us except ourselves, and if we don't cheer up, we will have to be slaughtered. ”

During the afternoon session, Adelman repeatedly reminded his players to boost the morale of the team, as is the case in away games, the away team is isolated and must have a strong heart and spirit to overcome that loneliness and even burst out with greater strength.

In the last round against the Lakers, in such a sinister situation in the fourth game, it was by relying on the huge mental strength and super-level performance of the players that they defeated the opponent and won the key victory.

It's just that the players of the Trail Blazers have to go to the Great Western Forum Arena many times a year to play, Gan Guoyang is there to watch and play for nearly ten years, it is not too much to say that it is his own half of the home field, Detroit Auburn Hills Palace Arena is different, this year this new arena has just been put into use, replacing the renovated Silver Dome Center in the past, this new arena Gan Guoyang is no stranger at all, he knows that in the future it will be notorious for the largest brawl in history.

The Trail Blazers only played one game here in the regular season, and they lost the game, and the third game of the finals was the second game they played here, and the facilities in the arena were quite advanced, full of the sense of technology in the eighties and nineties, unlike some old arenas, which still had the flavor of the fifties and sixties.

The environment in the away team's locker room is still relatively bad, the space is narrow, and the air conditioning is not particularly powerful, from yesterday to now, the Trailblazers have basically not encountered anything good along the way, so everyone in the locker room has a bit of a sleepy feeling.

Adelman and Gan Guoyang took turns to cheer everyone on, but the 2:0 lead made everyone feel that they didn't have the same hatred, and when everyone came out of the players' tunnel and stepped onto the court, the huge noise immediately drowned out their ears, and the sound gathering effect here was obviously very good.

Unlike Portland, most of the fans in Portland are white-collar workers in the city, which is very similar to Los Angeles, so you can see that the audience seats are middle-aged fans who are dressed appropriately, and in the summer they are also dressed in various colors of shirts or collared casual clothes, of course, their enthusiasm for watching the game is quite crazy; And Detroit is a blue-collar city, so the fans here are also full of blue-collar atmosphere, and the vast majority of people in the summer are wearing T-shirts, or white T-shirts, with various slogans written on them, and some wearing black T-shirts with skulls printed on them and writing "BAD-BOY".

Therefore, compared with the equally enthusiastic Portland fans, Detroit fans have a little more madness, and when Gan Guoyang appeared on the stage, he could clearly hear some fans shouting "murderer", "Nazi Party", "executioner" at him......

Undoubtedly, Gan Guoyang, who has become the focus of everyone's attention because of the political turmoil, has not completely freed himself from the troubles, and the people in Portland still love him, but not necessarily in other places, especially in Detroit, where everyone is doing their best to mock him and interfere with him.

Compared with the Trail Blazers, the Pistons' players have obviously undergone enough adjustments, and during the two-day break, Daley and the players have made a deep summary and reflection, completely throwing away the contemptuous attitude in their hearts, and vowing to give the Trail Blazers a heavy blow at home.

Such a blow is all-round and comes extremely quickly.

The game was soon underway, and the players were still stretching their muscles on the pitch in preparation for the fierce battle that was to come, and it was Sabonis and Ranbir who jumped the ball.

This time, Sabonis once again touched the ball with his height and reach, and flicked the ball to Terry Porter, who jumped up to catch the ball and was ready to take the ball to launch his first attack, but he suddenly collided with Rick Mahon while jumping in the air, and Mahon did not knock Potter down, but "hugged" Potter and threw him to the ground, and then pressed Potter under him.

The referee's whistle naturally sounded immediately, and Mahon still opened his hands and looked around innocently, refusing to get up, and Potter was crushed under him like this.

"Hurry the fuck!" Cauchy saw Potter being bullied like this, and he couldn't help it at first, but Gan Guoyang pulled him behind him, and Mahon was also pulled up by his teammates, and the referee naturally sentenced Mahon to foul, the ball of the Trailblazers, but Mahon has been claiming with the referee that he accidentally tripped and fell.

And that's just the beginning.

Then, the Trail Blazers finally really understood the meaning of "BAD-BOY", in the fifth minute of the first quarter, Porter received the ball outside the three-point line and prepared to jump, Ranbier pounced to interfere, Porter made a feint to break through, but Ranbier's elbow "just right" grazed Porter's head, and Porter fell directly to the ground.

When the referee's whistle blew, Ranbir raised his hands in the air with a "what's wrong with me" expression, and he was subsequently adjudged for a malicious foul, but Potter was also treated for treatment.

At the beginning of the second quarter, when Cauchy was snatching a backcourt rebound, he landed on one foot and was a little unsteady, Dennis Rodman gently pushed it with his ass on the side, Cauchy fell directly out of the baseline, and he threw the ball out before going out of the baseline, but threw it into Rodman's hands, and Rodman dunked directly.

In a game with little difference in strength, it is often a few small details that determine the trend of the game, and every time at such a critical moment, the Pistons players will use some out-of-the-rules means to profit, which makes the mood of the Trail Blazers players worse and worse.

The first one who couldn't help it was Cossey, in the second half, when the Trail Blazers were behind, one of his forced breakthrough layups was knocked away by a man from Rambir, and Cauchy rushed directly to Rambir after getting up, and this conflict lasted 5 minutes before it ended under the persuasion of the referee and teammates.

The only one who plays normally in the entire Trail Blazers is Gan Guoyang, who is always as steady as Mount Tai, no matter how the Pistons players foul him, he is silent, and only punishes them with goals.

On the contrary, the Pistons were very adaptable to such a game atmosphere, and they became more and more smooth in the crazy cheering of the fans, and played a 25:10 offensive frenzy in the fourth quarter, defeating the Trail Blazers in one fell swoop, and the final score was 119:101, and the Pistons pulled back a city in a big score.

The Auburn Hills Palace Arena revealed his hideous face.
