On April 23, 1989, the Trail Blazers ushered in their final game of the regular season at home, facing the Sacramento Kings at Memorial Coliseum, and in the last few games of the regular season, due to the impact of the recording incident, the team's morale dropped to its lowest point, and even lost three consecutive games, and finally lost the opportunity to hit the all-time best and get the first 70 wins in history.

Now, though, they still have a chance to record their best record in history, and a win in their final game would send the Trail Blazers out of the regular season with a 69-13 record, equaling the Lakers' all-time best record in 1972.

Three hours before the start of the game, Gan Guoyang came to the Memorial Coliseum early in the car, and he found that a banner had been hung high outside the gymnasium, which read "The-best-team-we-ever-have" (the best team we have ever had), and Portland fans were also expecting the Trail Blazers to create the best results in NBA history, and now they can only draw the best record, but in the eyes of Portlanders, this Trail Blazers team is undoubtedly the best Trail Blazer in history, Even better than the one in 1977 and 1978.

Gan Guoyang looked at the banner, clenched his fists, and remembered Paul Allen's insidiousness, if he hadn't made such a play, the Trail Blazers would definitely be able to continue to soar, and winning 70 wins would not be a problem at all.

Fortunately, with the efforts of Gan Guoyang, the team of the Trail Blazers slowly united again, when Gan Guoyang arrived at the training hall yesterday morning, he found that the other players had basically arrived, and the Trail Blazers had completed the most complete and efficient training in the past week, and the players were in quite good shape, no matter what, the game still had to continue.

The aftermath of the recording incident has not completely dissipated so far, and the NBA official has made a penalty decision on the Trail Blazers, giving Weinberg a huge fine of $500,000, which is rare in the history of the NBA, you must know that Gan Guoyang's salary at that time was $2.1 million per year, and in the era of tens of millions of annual salaries of future superstars, the fines given are generally tens of thousands of dollars.

Weinberg because of his own carelessness, not only paid heavy economic losses, but also suffered damage to his reputation, in the past he was a World War II veteran after all, once fought for the country in the European theater, but now he is labeled as a racist, since the outbreak of the incident, Weinberg has never appeared at the Memorial Stadium to watch the game, many people speculate that it is not far from Weinberg to sell the team, if the Trail Blazers can get a championship this year, it will undoubtedly allow Weinberg to sell at a good price.

However, in this way, the Trail Blazers will also become the first team in history to win a championship and be sold.

In the locker room, Gan Guoyang changed his jersey and came to the court early for warm-up training, at this time the entire gymnasium was almost empty, only some venue staff were inside.

No matter what kind of difficulties are encountered in front of him, what kind of things he has experienced, in basketball, Gan Guoyang will never relax, and Gan Guoyang is bound to win the best record in history in this game, so he began to run on the passage of the stadium to warm up.

When the other players of the Trail Blazers arrived at the stadium one after another, and then the reporters followed all the way, Gan Guoyang had already adjusted his condition to the best, which is why Gan Guoyang can always have a hot hand in many games, because he is always the most prepared.

As night wore on, the arena began to get more and more lively, and many places were plastered with advertisements to promote the upcoming playoffs of the Trail Blazers, and tickets for the first game of the playoffs were already on sale, and it would not be long before they were sure to sell out.

Gan Guoyang stood in the center of the court, looking at the same lively venue, the depression and irritability of the past few days were finally swept away, and he could temporarily put aside all kinds of affairs off the court and devote himself to the basketball game to experience the joy of victory and the sadness of defeat.

The players of the Trailblazers are also full of energy, Gan Guoyang's scolding has made everyone sober up a lot, discrimination is discrimination, the game has to continue to play, no matter who the team owner is, the victory and the honor won are the players themselves, no matter how unhappy they are, these things still have to be clear.

And the Sacramento Kings on the opposite side have undoubtedly become villains again, before they blocked the pace of the Trail Blazers to create the best record, and now in the last game, the Kings still have a chance to stop the Trail Blazers, anyway, they have no hope of the playoffs, and the next games are purely for honor, so it can be said that they let it go.

In this game, the good news for the Trail Blazers is that Danny Angie, an important substitute in the Kings' backcourt, missed the last game due to injury, and Anji's three-point shot in the last game made the Trail Blazers suffer, but Gan Guoyang also admires Angie very much as a smart guard, for the Trail Blazers, if they can supplement players like Angie, it will make up for the shortcomings of the lineup.

Without Angie, relying only on Kenny Smith, the King's outside offense is obviously a little insufficient, and in the face of the Trail Blazers' high-speed, high-intensity offensive and defensive rhythm, the Kings looked a little dragged down in just two quarters of the game.

But in the second half, the Kings stood up on the bench with a white guard shooter, Dan Negro (later the head coach of the Clippers), this style of play is the same as Angie, slow, but he plays smart and shoots accurately, but he doesn't shoot three-pointers, he shoots two-pointers in one step inside the three-point line, he is extremely accurate in this game, and the 20-foot distance shot is almost open-handed, and he doesn't rush inside, just throws the middle distance outside.

Negro's outburst made the Trail Blazers almost turned over by the King, but the king of the third quarter, Gan Guoyang, could not let a Negro mess up the situation of the Trail Blazers, and the king who lacked a strong defender on the inside still had no solution to Gan Guoyang's point, as long as he got the ball in the low post, he either fouled or watched Gan Guoyang score.

At the same time, Adelman also personally instructed Jerome Cauchy to help defend Negro, not to let him shoot so easily, and then Negro did not have a good offensive opportunity.

When Gan Guoyang grabbed the rebound in the front court in an offensive and successfully scored three points at the same time, the score was stretched to 11 points, Gan Guoyang stood on the free throw line, and the whole court began to chant "MVP", wave after wave, resounding throughout the court.

The selection of this season's regular season MVP has basically been confirmed, although the performance of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan is very good, it is historic, but Gan Guoyang has played an epic season, when Gan Guoyang scored this goal, he has scored 40 points, this is Gan Guoyang's thirtieth 40-point performance this season, He also averaged 18.6 rebounds per game, another player since Elvin Hayes in the 1973-1974 season.

More importantly, for the NBA league, Stern needs to award the MVP to Gan Guoyang, because of the aftermath of the recording incident, many Asian fans are still very dissatisfied with the NBA, and the protests of Chinese groups around the country have not stopped.

When the score of the game was fixed at 127-110, the Trail Blazers won the final game of the regular season, achieving a record of 69-13, and the MVP shouts of the whole game did not stop, Gan Guoyang stood in the center of the court with his arms raised, and all he needed now was to bring a championship to the Portlanders.

………………

"Forrest Gump, are you back? Sorry, I had an operation today and couldn't go to your game. When she returned home in the evening, Wang Fuxi apologized to Gan Guoyang and said that she couldn't go to Gan Guoyang's last regular season game today because of work.

"It's okay, there's the playoffs, as long as you can come to the finals, I can win the championship, and then we'll get married."

"Okay, that's a deal...... Oh yes, Gan, I was watching TV just now, and the news said that something seemed to have happened on the mainland, and one of your leaders died, and then many students were commemorating him in the square, and it seemed that there were more and more people......"
