People in the United States in the eighties may have learned a lot of news in China earlier and faster than many Chinese, first, the media industry in the United States is developed, every family has television, radio, and the newspaper industry is also very prosperous, compared to the Chinese media industry at that time was still quite backward, many differences say that television, may not even have radio, some rural areas only one radio per village; Newspapers, pictorials, etc., are scarce in number and not many in variety.

Second, China is relatively strict in terms of media control, and the official controls a unified voice, while the United States is different, although the media control in the United States is also ubiquitous, but a large number of private media and a relatively relaxed public opinion environment make people immersed in the sea of all kinds of news every day.

As a person from the Internet age in the 21st century, Gan Guoyang came to the United States in the 80s and occasionally felt that there were indeed too many kinds of news in this country every day, and it was no wonder that the network technology of the Ministry of Defense was brought over to civilian dissemination of news, and newspapers and television could no longer carry it.

In the United States for many years, Gan Guoyang will pay attention to the news in China every day, he knows that at this time there are new changes in China every day, and new problems are constantly emerging.

In 1989, Gan Guoyang also knew that something would happen, and when he returned home after playing the game on the 23rd, he heard what Wang Fuxi said, he knew that what should come would always come, and his crossing would not change anything.

Gan Guoyang immediately turned on the TV to tune to the international news channel, and then opened the newspaper on the sofa and began to look for it, the United States time is April 23, and the Chinese time is April 22, and on April 15, that is, when the recording incident just broke out, Gan Guoyang was anxious at this time, he didn't notice that in a small area of the Oregon newspaper, there was an obituary about the Chinese leader.

On April 22, Beijing time, China's Xinhua News Agency issued an official notice to overseas media, and Wang Fuxi, who was far away in the United States, saw the news report and related reports after returning home, but on the contrary, the domestic people did not get the relevant news.

At the same time, on the news broadcast on the evening of April 22, Beijing time, the obituary of the leader was broadcast twice in a row, and there was confusion in time and order.

In the eyes of Americans, this is the death of the leader of an important country, and that's all, only Gan Guoyang knows in his heart what kind of turmoil will be swept away.

It's just that Gan Guoyang can't manage so much, he can't change things like this, he must devote all his energy to the upcoming NBA playoffs.

April 23 is the last game day of the entire regular season, and the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings is the last game of the last game day, but this game has no impact on the Western Conference playoff standings, and the Trail Blazers have already locked up the first place in the league, and they will face the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the West.

Third in the West is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have a 56-26 record, and although they have the second record in the West, they are in third place because they are in the same division as the Trail Blazers.

Abdul-Jabbar's complete aging this season, the lack of new signings, and the defeat of the Finals for two consecutive years have made the Lakers a little overwhelmed, although Magic Johnson has played a historic season of individual performance, but it cannot change the fact that the Lakers are declining, fatigued, and aging, but their dominance in the West for many years, the team's rich game experience, and the Magic's personal ability to reach the peak, all allow the Lakers to continue to maintain a strong championship competitiveness.

The Lakers will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round, the Nuggets have kept the core lineup unchanged for many years, Inglish still has the style of the scoring champion, and Fatleaf has grown into the all-around king of the backcourt, but Calvin Knight has been plagued by injuries and played 14 games throughout the season, and they got Alwan Adams on the inside, but they did not bring qualitative changes to the Nuggets, after passing the peak of the mid-eighties, with the overall defensive level and defensive quality of the league continue to rise, The Nuggets, which are competitive with a fluid offense, are inevitably in decline.

Slowly starting to rise is the Utah Jazz, after trading out their scoring champion and court black hole Dantley, the Jazz began to build around Malone-Stockton, Sloan's arrival injected tactics, teamwork and defensive philosophy into this talentless plateau team, a strong and long-lasting Utah Jazz began to gradually step into the ranks of the Western giants, of course, they still have a long way to go, 51-31 is the best record since the founding of the Utah Jazz, second in the West is also the highest ranking they have ever had.

The Jazz's opponent is the Houston Rockets, the grievances and hatred in the 1985 playoffs have not yet dissipated, but the two teams are no longer in the same place, the Rockets twin towers are only Olajuwon, the Jazz twin towers are still there, but it is no longer Sloan's favorite tactic, due to the arrival of Gan Guoyang, Olajuwon and Karl Malone will start a head-on confrontation in advance.

To say that the most fierce confrontation in the first round is not the Jazz vs. Rockets, but the battle for the fourth or fifth position, the Phoenix Suns and the Seattle SuperSonics, coincidentally, the main power forward of the Phoenix Suns now, it is they who just poached Tom Chambers from the SuperSonics in the summer, Chambers would definitely not have thought that he would meet his old master in the playoffs so soon.

The Phoenix Suns have gained a huge boost by trading with the Liberty, but they should have been third in the West in terms of record, but because they are in the same Pacific Division as the Trail Blazers and Lakers, they have to settle for fourth place in the West, and they will face the fifth-ranked team in the first round, and they are likely to face the first team in the West in the second round.

Two teams, one offensive and one defensive, this is also Gan Guoyang's most concerned about a group of matchups in addition to his own series, the winner of the fourth and fifth positions will have a semi-final battle with the winner of the first and eighteenth.

In comparison, the matchup in the East must be more embarrassing, the Detroit Pistons in the second half of the game, played a winning streak shockwave, surpassed the Cleveland Cavaliers in one fell swoop, with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, and their opponent in the first round turned out to be the Boston Celtics, who have stopped their progress for many years.

Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, in the NBA, you can change the time span to three years, three years of Hedong and three years of Hexi, the former overlord Boston Celtics, also fell under the erosion of time and injuries, the arrival of Len Baias only gave the Celtics a season of glory, Bird due to his serious back injury, only played six games in the whole season, although Len Baias played well, but far from the extent that he can replace Bird, and he still has to face the temptation of drugs, the road ahead is still very long.

In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers lacked stamina, failed to outrun the rushing Pistons, and ranked third due to divisional reasons, their luck is indeed not too good, because the first round to meet the Cavaliers, will be Michael Jordan led by the Chicago Bulls, although the Bulls are only ranked sixth in the East, but as long as Jordan is there, even if they are ranked eighth in the East, the first team will not dare to take it lightly.

The New York Knicks are thriving under the leadership of the fast-growing Ewing, Ewing has also played a superstar performance this season, averaging 22.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game, the last Knicks player to achieve this level is Willis Reed, but under the light of Gan Guoyang, the performance of any center is dwarfed, not to mention that in New York, where the media is snarky, Ewing is often compared with Gan Guoyang, and then criticized for being useless, which makes Ewing feel pressured.

Also feeling the pressure is Charles Barkley, Malone left, Dr. J retired, Barkley finally became the well-deserved leader of this 76ers team, and his personal performance was also speechless, The performance of averaging 25 points and 12.5 rebounds per game makes people completely unimaginable that this is a 6-foot-6 player, but in terms of being a leader, Ba Fat Man undoubtedly has a long way to go, his violent temper also makes his fouls the highest on the team, and he does not have a decent helper by his side, the 83-year-old champion is only Cheeks alone, and the newcomers have no right-hand man, so they can only barely squeeze into the playoffs.

The Hawks and Bucks are an animal matchup, with two teams that play their defense to the point of ugliness, and in ESPN's pre-game predictions, this round of matchup has received the least attention, and even Dominic Wilkins can't pull the ratings of the game between the two teams.

The situation in the playoffs is like this, Gan Guoyang is no longer the guy who didn't even look at the schedule in the past, now he will carefully study each round of the duel and contribute to the road to the championship, but after understanding these in general, Gan Guoyang still can't calm down in his heart, and he doesn't know what kind of impact it will have on him for the upcoming turmoil.

"Fuxi, I'll go out for a walk." After Gan Guoyang finished watching the playoff matchup, he suddenly picked up his clothes and said to Wang Fuxi.

"It's so late, don't you want to take a good rest, where are you going?"

"I'll just walk around the neighborhood and I'll be back soon." After speaking, Gan Guoyang put on his coat and walked out of the house.
