"Windy City" Chicago, the second largest financial city in the United States, a megacity with the most skyscrapers in the United States, the tallest skyscraper in the United States, the Hills Building stands in the center of the city, and the long strip of the twin towers are different, the structure of the Hills Tower is more complex, because in the Windy City, for every skyscraper, the gale here is a test they must withstand.

On February 20th, on the top floor of the Hills Tower, the pinnacle of the tallest man-made building in the United States, you can see not only the whole of Chicago, but also Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, where Chicago is located, when the weather is good.

It was here that Nike took the opportunity of the Trailblazer's visit to Chicago to shoot an advertisement for Gan's new sneaker, the Skyscraper-5.

The content of the advertisement is actually very simple, there are only two shots, Gan Guoyang dribbles and sprints on the ground floor square of the Sears Building, jumps and dunks, and then the camera suddenly switches to the top of the building, Gan Guoyang suddenly appears on the top floor and dunks the ball into the basket located on the top floor platform.

This is a simple grafting technique, Gan Guoyang shoots a set of shots on the ground floor, and then goes to the top floor to shoot a set of dunk shots, and finally splices the front and back ends of the two sets of shots through editing, and finally adds some computer-generated scenes, and the whole advertisement is completed.

The end result was that Gan Guoyang dribbled and jumped in front of the tall and majestic Sears Tower, and then suddenly he dunked the ball into the basket on the top floor as if he had leaped over the entire skyscraper.

Moreover, at Gan Guoyang's suggestion, multiple cameras were used in the shooting of the dunk action on the top floor, and the shooting was completed from several angles, so that when the advertisement was played, there would be a multi-angle shot showing Gan Guoyang's dunk posture, which was still rare in the advertisements at that time.

After this advertisement is produced and broadcast, it will soon have a very good effect, but of course this is a story for another time.

On Jordan's turf, Gan Guoyang completed the advertising shooting of his sneakers, just as Jordan will also go to Portland to do advertising shooting, the two sides are not only competing on the court, but also in the field of sneakers, and this competition is undoubtedly benign and beneficial to both parties.

After filming the commercial, Gan Guoyang immediately left the Sears Building, and he politely declined the invitation of Nike and the management of the Sears Building to keep him for dinner, because he had to rush back to the training gym for training, and tomorrow's game could not be missed.

This is the first time Gan Guoyang and Jordan have played against Jordan this season, and before this game, the gimmick of confrontation between the two sides has been turned upside down, and the ticket price of this game has been hyped to a sky-high price before the season has not started, you must know that this is just a regular season, but the confrontation between Gan and Jordan has become the most anticipated scene.

In 1988, in the second half of the season, the regular season MVP competition between the two sides entered the white heat, in April 1, April Fool's Day Bulls visited the Trail Blazers, Michael Jordan and Gan Guoyang staged a big battle of Mars hitting the earth in the game, the two sides fought for three overtimes, Jordan scored 55 points and handed out 11 assists in the game, and Gan Guoyang staged a 100% miracle, 19 of 19 shots, scored 47 points plus 21 rebounds, and sent key defense in the last moments, Blocking Jordan interfered with his game-winning shot, allowing the Trail Blazers to end the three-overtime battle with a two-point advantage.

But Gan Guoyang's excellent performance coupled with the team's excellent record still lost to Michael Jordan in the MVP battle, he entered the finals earlier than Jordan, and Jordan won the MVP earlier than him, which is like a drama between Magic and Bird.

Now that the Celtics have a serious injury to McHale, Larry Bird's back injury has worsened, and Len Baias has more than enough support but is embarrassed, the Celtics' dominance in the East has long entered the twilight, but the rise of the Detroit Pistons has left Jordan with a mountain in front of him.

The Lakers in front of the Trail Blazers in the West, it seems that the time to stop the Trail Blazers is running out, 11VS23 has become the focus of Stern's current publicity, neither of them disappointed Stern this season, Gan Guoyang won the best of the month in December with his excellent team record and team performance, and then Michael Jordan completed the counterattack in January, playing a super performance of 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming the best player of the month in January.

The rivalry between the two is heating up.

……………………

Gan Guoyang immediately returned to the training center to start training after completing the advertising shooting, because Drexler will miss this game, the strength of the Trail Blazers is greatly reduced, and the outside arrow against Jordan is also gone, Adelman is worrying about who should start this game.

"Hey, Paxson! Welcome back. After Gan Guoyang changed his clothes, he saw Jim Paxson return to the training court and was already wearing his jersey to shoot on the court.

Paxson's body has not been deformed by injuries compared to the past, because he has always maintained a certain amount of training during his injury, which is the professionalism that a professional player should have.

"Hey, Gan, how was the ad shot? We all thought you weren't coming back to train. Paxson said as he made a three-pointer and the ball hollowed into the net.

"Good shot, your three-point shooting holiday was not practiced in vain, how about it, did the Führer put you in the starting lineup? Clyde, this guy has a cold and diarrhea, and he squats on the toilet every day and turns into a bomber, this is your chance. Gan Guoyang said, pinched out a ball from the basket, stood next to Paxson and shot a three-pointer, the ball was also hollow into the net, Gan Guoyang's three-point shot for many years was not practiced in vain.

“…… Not yet, and it seems that the Führer is still ready to start Brans. Paxson replied.

"Oh my god, Brans, this guy is bold enough to dare to shoot, but he can't shoot, and as soon as I see him shooting from mid-range, I know I'm either going to rush up and grab the rebound, or I'm going to have to go back to defense." Brans' performance on 4-of-14 shooting in the last game made Gan Guoyang remember it vividly.

Although Gan Guoyang of the Trailblazers has the final say, Gan Guoyang has always respected Adelman's right to speak in the team, except for letting Sabonis start, Gan Guoyang never pointed fingers at Adelman in the arrangement, and that time he suggested that Sabonis start, Gan Guoyang also took the initiative to discuss with Adelman, and the final decision was still in Adelman's hands.

"But I bet the Führer will definitely send you on the field, you see." Gan Guoyang said confidently to Paxson.

Of course, Gan Guoyang will not squeeze Brans, but he also has to see who the scoring guard on the opposite side is, and Adelman will inevitably have to deploy troops on the guard line at that time, where is there enough for Jordan to eat in one Brans.

"Good evening everybody, I'm Dick Stockton, and I'm excited to bring you a live broadcast of the NBA game at the Chicago Union Center tonight, and tonight we're going to broadcast a much-anticipated game where the Portland Trail Blazers come to the Chicago Union Center to take on the Chicago Bulls, a long-awaited matchup that everyone has been waiting for!"

Dick Stockton was once again the commentator on the game, but soon CBS would be replaced by TNT and ESPN.

In the red Chicago Union Center, when the players were still warming up, the arena was already full, the popcorn sellers, the drinks were busy, and the mascot appeared on the Bulls scene to play treasure on the sidelines, which is also a new thing in the NBA in the past few seasons.

Cheerleaders in high-leg skirts swirled their thighs with the crowd on the sidelines, drawing most of the attention before the game began.

The NBA is becoming more and more like a show.

The core key person of the show was standing in the middle of the stadium chatting at this time, because it was too far away and no one knew what the two were talking about, and the reporters were racking their brains to guess the content of the conversation between the two.

Of course, if they knew what the two were chatting about, they would be shocked.

"I'm going to score 40 points tonight."

"Then I'll get 45 points."

"It's just 5 points, coward, I'm going to get 55 points, 10 points more than you."

"Five points more for you is enough, I want to get 60 points."

“…………”

The two of them were fighting there like little children.

However, neither side thinks that the other is joking, because both know in their hearts that the other is capable of doing what they say.
