"43 points, 25 rebounds, 43 points, 25 rebounds, will this stat continue to increase, will this stat continue to increase? With 2 minutes to go, Ramsey replaced Gan Guoyang. Indeed, there is no suspense in the game! Gan's stats were also fixed at 43 points, 25 rebounds, plus 4 blocks and 5 assists, gorgeous stats, and more importantly, he helped the Portland Trail Blazers seal the win on the road and avoid a three-game losing streak. ”

"His play tonight was absolutely phenomenal, and he once again set the scoring and rebounding records for a rookie this season. The previous record was also for Gan, who scored 39 points in a single game against the Lakers on Nov. 4. He is now averaging 17.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, making him a strong contender for Rookie of the Season award. ”

Although Gan Guoyang holds the record for the highest scoring of this rookie, his average score is not high because his score fluctuations per game are too great.

Of course, this does not mean that Gan Guoyang's state is also up and down, but it depends on whether Ramsay decides to use Gan Guoyang as the main point of attack.

The Warriors fell in the third quarter under Gan Guoyang's fierce attack, and they paid the price for the strategy of not wrapping up, and Gan Guoyang, who felt more and more hot, hit the Warriors' momentum with one goal after another.

The Warriors themselves are not a strong team, and weak teams often play with a breath, and that breath is raised, everyone is open, and the defending champions can also pull down.

Once that breath is pushed down, it will naturally decline and exhaust again, and eventually collapse.

The Warriors, who lost their core players, relied on the advantage of the home court and the backcourt double guards to support that breath, and were beaten by Gan Guoyang's combination punch so that the defense was not active, and the offense was out of touch.

After that, the other players of the Trail Blazers also slowly recovered their touch, and the more they played, the more open they played.

With the collapse of the Warriors' defense, the Trail Blazers players have regained the momentum of being the first in the West one by one, their waists are not sore, their backs are not painful, and it is not difficult to shoot three or four shots in one go.

Gan no longer needed to struggle with singles, and his teammates carried the offensive banner and completely turned the tide of the situation, taking down their opponents on the Warriors' doorstep.

'You got a lot of shots in the game and you took most of them, which is not very common in previous games. Is this the coach's arrangement? After the game, Gan Guoyang was voted the best player of the game, and he was also interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Uh... Low post play on the inside has always been a big part of our team's tactics and we struggled a little bit on the outside tonight, so the inside has to take on more of the offensive responsibility. I'm feeling pretty good, I've learned from the previous games, I've been more determined and decisive, I've helped the other players a lot, and I'm feeling great. Gan Guoyang thought for a while and said.

"You've done amazing hook shots in the game, hitting 15 feet and even more in a way that only Abdul-Jabbar can do in the entire league. Are you hooking up with Abdul-Jabbar? ”

"Abdul-Jabbar has definitely been a huge inspiration and help me, I used to train with him at university and his every move was very important for me and I learned a lot in the two fights with him."

"Okay, thank you Gan, good luck."

"Thank you......"

……

The game finally ended with a happy result, and the Trail Blazers avoided a three-game losing streak, but the season continues, and what lies ahead of Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers is a long and headless schedule.

"In the future, I will have to fly around like this every year, flying around, playing competitions from place to place, just like a traveling circus, I can't imagine that this kind of rìzi will live for more than ten years." Gan Guoyang said as he sat on the plane back to Portland.

After the game, Gan Guoyang didn't even have time to go back to the Gan family restaurant in Chinatown to say goodbye to his father, so he went to the airport with the team to catch the last flight to Portland.

Gan Guoyang thought that such a hurried rìzi had just begun, and it was likely to last for more than ten years, and he instantly felt a huge sense of oppression coming from his heart.

"More than ten years? Do you think you'll be able to stay in this league for more than a decade? If you can score 40 points and 20 rebounds per game, then I don't think you'll be okay for 30 years, and if you don't, then you're saying goodbye to this place and this life. Kenny Carr, who was sitting in the back, heard Gan Guoyang's words.

Gan Guoyang then thought that any player who can play for more than ten years in the NBA has two brushes.

If you can play for more than 15 years, you will either be a star or a top player.

"I'm going to play for 20 years and have my hands full of rings!" Gan Guoyang turned around and said.

Hearing Gan Guoyang say this, the Trail Blazers players and staff in the cabin all laughed, and even the corners of Ramsay's mouth in the front row burst into a smile.

"Hahaha, Gan, you must have been carried away by this game, I once scored 51 points in a single game and then won that game, I felt like I was the king of the world at that time! I'm going to win the NBA championship and then I'm going back to West Germany with my championship ring and then I'm surrounded by a huge crowd of fans asking for my autograph...... Then, and then I was sent to Portland for treatment. Vanderwich heard what Gan Guoyang said and said jokingly.

After Vanderwig finished speaking, the players in the cabin smiled even more.

Gan Guoyang looked at Le's teammates who leaned forward and back, and his face was a little unbearable, he knew that he was accidentally bragging again, but isn't it normal for an NBA player to want to win a championship?

And judging from the current momentum of the Trail Blazers, it is not a fool's dream to win the championship, they are the first in the West!

Ramsey heard the sound of the team members laughing at Gan Guoyang, and seemed to be a little unbearable, so he stood up from the front and said: "Okay, Gan's wish is good, if he can really wear a ring with both hands, then I think we will also wear a full hand." And I would say that the goal of the Trail Blazers is always to be a champion, and that has been the case since the year I entered the NBA. ”

Ramsey will never forget his best season of 1977.

But perhaps this came too soon, too soon, so that for Ramsey not to win a championship in any subsequent season would be a failure, and he struggled all his life to recreate the glory of 1977.

It seems that success too early is not too good either.

The Trail Blazers' players seem to have long been accustomed to Ramsey's set, and they all stopped talking.

Gan Guoyang looked at his teammates around him and suddenly realized that in this team at the top of the Western Conference, perhaps no one except Ramsey really has the will to win the championship.

Gan Guoyang still remembers the phrase "never underestimate the heart of a champion", although this sentence was said ten years later.

If a team does not have the heart of a champion, no matter how well it plays in the regular season, it may not be able to achieve the final victory.

It's just that now, Gan Guoyang can only silently keep these things in his heart, he doesn't feel that when he roars angrily, Wang Bazhi's anger can make his teammates instantly moved, and then follow him to fight for the championship.

He can only use his performance to achieve his goals step by step.

After arriving in Portland, the Trail Blazers finally wrapped up their road trip and will face the Kansas Kings at home next.

The Kansas Kings, as the opponent of the Trail Blazers' opener this season, still impressed Gan Guoyang very deeply.

However, the Kings are really a weak team, not much better than the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors are the last in the Pacific Division, while the Kansas Kings are the crane tail in the Western Division, another division in the West, which can be said to be the last two in the West.

Comparatively, the Kings are in a better position than the Warriors, and their record is much better.

But the structure of the Kings' lineup is very similar to that of the Warriors, the core players are all small forwards, the Warriors are Schott, and the Kings are Eddie Johnson; There are solid two-way guards in the backcourt, the Warriors are Floyd and Connor, and the Kings are Woodson; And their interior line is relatively weak, with some offensive ability, but they lack height and lack of thickness.

This naturally gave Gan Guoyang the opportunity to wreak havoc, and he was ready to play another high score before the game.

However, Ramsey didn't give Gan Guoyang too many chances in this game, because the form of the other players of the Trail Blazers began to pick up.

First up was Jim Paxson, who was treated by the team doctor after returning to Portland, and Paxson felt better on his foot.

In the game, Paxson scored 12 points in the first quarter, swept away the decline of the previous games, and found his crosshairs at the Portland Memorial Arena.

At the same time, Portland's bench also played a bigger role, and Ramsey, who had previously struggled with no one to use, decided to free up Ottie Norris on the bench and give the 6-foot-9 center more playing time.

Norris didn't waste that opportunity, 20 points and 8 rebounds, and that's what he delivered.

As a result, Gan Guoyang can no longer fire without scruples like in the last game, he only got 9 shots in the whole game, hit 6 goals, and still scored 15 points efficiently.

The Trail Blazers also won this rare home game to continue to cement their No. 1 spot in the West.

And after this game, the Trail Blazers are going to play away again.

"How the is this scheduled? Why do you want to play away again? Gan Guoyang returned to the locker room after the game, and couldn't help but yell after seeing the schedule provided by the staff.

The Trail Blazers have played 27 games so far, with 16 of them on the road, which is 60 percent, including a lengthy six-game and a four-game road streak.

And this time there are only two away games, but it may be the most headache road trip in the NBA.

Because Portland is going to Texas, the southernmost state of the United States, to challenge the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets on the Texas prairie.

Previously, the Trail Blazers faced the Spurs and Rockets at home in a row, with one win and one loss, one easy and one hard.

Now that they are going to their opponent's home stadium, Gan Guoyang can already imagine that he will be greeted with a lot of boos and cheers in the dressing room.

Gan Guoyang and Texas also have a long-standing feud, beating the University of Houston in the NCAA Finals to win the championship, and their ugly battle with Texas at El Paso has been etched in NCAA history.

Therefore, when Gan Guoyang once again led a Washington state team to Texas, it was inevitable that he would not be welcomed by the local fans.

Upon arrival in San Antonio, the Trail Blazers players experienced the "enthusiasm" of the local fans, and their buses arrived at the hotel two hours late when they were directed in the opposite direction when they asked for directions.

The subsequent game with the Spurs also gave the Trail Blazers a slap in the face.

In the last game, the young and energetic Trail Blazers overwhelmed the older Spurs, and this Spurs, who are waiting for work at home, use their old experience and rich tactics to give the first place in the West a dismount.

The Spurs' leading scorer once again took advantage of the Trail Blazers' frontline defense, scoring 31 points on 11-of-21 shooting.

More importantly, the Spurs were firmly in control of the rebounds throughout the game, with veteran Gilmore grabbing 15 rebounds, including seven in the frontcourt.

Gan Guoyang, who has been counterattacked by veterans twice in a row, was once again educated by a superstar veteran.

Although Gilmore is no longer energetic, his judgment of the landing point of the rebound ball is still accurate, which makes Gan Guoyang's card position often useless, and he loses N backcourt boards.

In the whole game, the Spurs grabbed a total of 60 rebounds, 19 more than the Trail Blazers, which put the Trail Blazers at a huge disadvantage.

In the first quarter of the game, the well-prepared Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 15 points at 37:22, and then they led all the way without giving the Trail Blazers any chance.

Whether it was Mitchell Sampson, who scored 22 points, or Gan Guoyang, who handed out 5 blocks, they were unable to turn the tide on their own, and they were beaten in the hemisphere arena.

On the way out of San Antonio and on the way to Houston, the team fell silent again.

Gan Guoyang sat in his seat, he couldn't get angry, he really wanted to roar on the bus and reprimand his teammates for fighting like.

But he still held back, he didn't want the changes he had made before, because of a failure, it would be completely overturned.

But such ups and downs, being beaten by the opponent, really made Gan Guoyang very depressed, and he didn't have the mind to joke with his teammates at all.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked at Sampson, who was sitting in front of the bus and had a seat alone, as the boss of the team, but he didn't say anything.

Gan Guoyang now has no idea of seizing power, but this does not mean that Gan Guoyang recognizes Sampson's status as the boss.

If Sampson had the boss's style, he could consider supporting Sampson, but this often silent man did not look like a leader.

Gan Guoyang is no longer a straight-headed hairy boy, and after Karl's nudge, he understands that maybe something should be done to change the current status quo of power within the team.

"If you take yù, you must first deal with it." This old saying flashed through Gan Guoyang's mind.
