(The problem of the protagonist's personality and the relationship between teammates must be solved, maybe this paragraph was written a little early, and was originally intended to be written deeper in the season, but the description of consecutive games is too monotonous; And the protagonist should have grown up a little.,It's also a time-traveling person.。 ）

For the first time, Gan Guoyang did not go home after the match, but stayed with his teammates at Andy's Bar until the early hours of the morning.

Of course, Gan didn't drink much, he didn't quit drinking like the Puritans, but he didn't drink a lot of alcohol during the season.

Kenny Carr, on the other hand, is unscrupulous and drinks at the bar, and the back-to-back road trips have long made Carl, and he simply doesn't have time to go to the bar in those eastern cities.

Carl's alcohol consumption is excellent, Gan Guoyang watched him pour several bottles by himself, and his thinking was still quite clear.

"Sampson isn't likeable, yes, he's always on top of his game because he's the top pick, because he's been with the Trail Blazers the longest...... Oh my God, the champions of the pioneers have this stinky problem. Carl took another sip as he spoke.

Bill Wharton, the Trail Blazers' other top pick, is also a foul-tempered stinky rock, and he's known all over the league for this, so Carl has never played with Wharton, but he's heard of it.

Gan Guoyang also took a sip of the beer in the glass, but did not speak, his heart did not feel happy because of Carl's criticism of Sampson, but was a little panicked.

Because Gan Guoyang thinks about it carefully, he doesn't seem to be much better than Sampson.

Since coming to the Trail Blazers, he has had a falling out with the team's two veterans, and the conflict with the team's nominal boss Sampson has become deeper and deeper.

This is still in the case of the team's excellent record, once the team's results are up and down, it is not known what will become of the team internally.

"What's the matter, Gan, don't talk anymore? Do you think you're similar to Sampson? Hahaha, you high-ranking geniuses just don't like each other, you look down on me, I look down on you, and no one is willing to back down. Karl said meaningfully.

Gan Guoyang lowered his head and smiled, he found that this was indeed the case, and he had a faint feeling of looking down on Sampson in his heart.

When he entered the Trail Blazers, he only knew Drexler alone, and the two met on the first day of practice, and Drexler angered Gan Guoyang with a dunk between people, but he also won Gan Guoyang's respect because of this, and the two became good friends.

Later, he knew Van Dewig, the two played after training to shoot, Van Dewicki's near-100 mid-range jumper aroused Gan Guoyang's determination to contact the mid-range shot, and he tried to compete with Van Dewic every day, and the two became good friends.

It can be seen that any person with strength, or a player who trains hard and strives for it, will be respected by Gan Guoyang, who is such a "snobbish" guy.

And Sampson, Gan Guoyang didn't know that he was the champion at first, because Gan Guoyang had never heard his name in later generations.

He just found that this guy always came on time and left on time in training, never arrived early, and never practiced, which made the training maniac Gan Guoyang feel unhappy and felt that he didn't work hard at all.

Later, Gan Guoyang learned that this person was the top pick in 1978, full of talent, and his skills and experience under the basket were indeed quite good.

But the two had a small conflict because of a bag incident, and because of the personalities of both parties, the rift in this contradiction is getting bigger and bigger.

Sampson can't get used to the team, and there is another big man in yellow skin who is arrogant and likes to be in the limelight - Sampson thinks that Gan Guoyang likes to attack with the ball in the low post so much, just to show off.

Gan Guoyang didn't like Sampson's passable training and competition attitude - Gan Guoyang always felt that Sampson didn't do his best, otherwise how could he not have a reputation in history.

However, Kenny Carr can see very clearly that these two guys are basically the same kind of people, both of whom have been the boss since high school and entered the NBA with thousands of glory.

When such people come together, they will never give in to the other side, and the end result is often a lose-lose situation.

But Carl also understands that the two are different, although Sampson is the top pick and his performance in the NBA is quite good, but there has never been any earth-shattering achievements.

Compared to the last Trail Blazers' champion Bill Wharton, Sampson is indeed a bit far behind.

And Kenny Carr, who entered the NBA a year earlier than Sampson, can also understand that Sampson should now enter the age where he has been polished out of ambition, just wants to play well with peace of mind, and treats basketball as a job.

In Gan Guoyang, Carl saw the appearance of most young players when they first entered the NBA, they had a fiery enthusiasm for training and games, and they were tireless on the court, and they wished that the coach would always put him on the court.

The difference is that Gan Guoyang is one of the few people with extremely high talent, and Carl felt it in that game with the Lakers, Gan Guoyang's calmness and stability when he bombarded the Lakers' interior in the low post was by no means an occasional outburst, but a real basketball talent.

This talent is as good as Sampson's, and Coach Ramsey should also see this, so he tolerates Gan Guoyang like he does on weekdays.

Kenny Carr has long known that there will always be a conflict between Sampson and Gan Guoyang, but he didn't expect this conflict to erupt so quickly, and only a month has passed, and the two seem to be on the verge of irreconcilability.

Thinking of this, Carl took another sip of wine and looked at Gan Guoyang, who was speechless next to him.

"This yellow-skinned boy is really not a worry-free guy. But maybe I can help him, and maybe he'll really have great things to achieve in the future. "Carl isn't what he looks like on the pitch, just a blue-collar worker doing the dirty work.

On the contrary, he has a very flexible brain, and for him the NBA is a very good job, with a high salary, and he also likes to play, but this industry is highly competitive and has a high elimination rate, especially for a non-star role player like him, which is easy to replace.

At that time, although the salary of the NBA was much higher than that in the sixties and seventies, it had not yet reached the point where you could earn a lifetime of money in a year after the nineties.

Therefore, many role players also have to think about their life after retirement while playing, after all, they have to support their families.

Carl is one of those who started preparing early, and he has long planned that after retiring from the NBA, he will use the money earned from playing in the NBA to set up a construction company to build and decorate venues for the NBA.

If you want to do business and build in the United States, you also need qualifications and connections, and Carl feels that if Gan Guoyang can succeed, he will be a big tree to rely on, and NBA superstars are the core resources of the league, and there are always various opportunities around them.

As long as you have a good relationship with the superstars, you can meet more elite people, which is beneficial to expanding your business.

The thought flashed through his head, and Kenny Carr decided to point out the frizzy genius kid and bring the two closer by the way.

"Gan, you said you want to be famous in the whole league, so what kind of methods are you going to use to achieve this goal?" Carl, who seemed a little drunk, suddenly turned the topic back to the conversation between the two at the beginning.

Gan Guoyang thought for a while and said, "Defeat everyone." ”

This is the answer that Gan Guoyang has always believed in, as long as he defeats everyone, he will be the strongest, the best. Just as Jordan did in another plane.

"Beat everybody...... Hey...... Does that include your teammates as well? Carl then asked.

"No... I will... I will beat everyone else with my teammates. Gan Guoyang added.

"If someone doesn't want to join you in defeating someone else, what should you do?" Carl didn't stop questioning.

"Then I'm going to beat him and make him understand that he should listen to me in the team." Gan Guoyang thought of his comprehensive suppression of the strength of other players in high school and college, and everyone revolved around him to win step by step.

"Gan, not everyone is like you, the purpose of playing is to beat everyone, some people are incapable, some people don't have that heart. But that doesn't mean they and you are enemies, just defeat them and bring them to their knees. Any basketball player is hungry for victory and afraid of defeat, just as a farmer is hungry for a good harvest and a herder is afraid of wolves. It's just that some people want to be the best, and some people want to make their lives a little better. Karl took another sip.

"Do you understand?"

"No...... I know what you mean, but I don't understand what he means......"

This means that you can be the best, but that doesn't mean others have to be the best like you. Do you beat Sampson in training and then everyone else treats you like the boss and goes after the championship together? No, you're wrong, someone else will continue to play the basketball he wants with his life, a bigger contract, more enjoyment, a better life. This is not the Colosseum of Rome, kill the leader and you will be the leader, no, you are nothing. If you want to defeat everyone one by one, then in the end, you are defeated. ”

Carl said a lot more, Gan Guoyang didn't expect that this black man was old and coarse, and he had so many goods in his head.

At this time, he began to understand in his heart that a professional team is not purely fighting for honor, but also has a lot of money and high status.

Not everyone like Gan Guoyang just wants to win the game and win the championship, everyone's life is not only basketball, they have a lot of other things.

Gan Guoyang's goal is only to win, but he can't win alone, if he wants others to help him win, he should let others achieve their goals and make them better.

Gan Guoyang suddenly remembered Williams in high school and Anderson in college.

Williams would have been just an ordinary high school player, who might have gone to a neighborhood to get odd jobs after high school, and ended up struggling like many black people in the ghetto, even going down the path of crime.

But because of Gan Guoyang's arrival, Palo Alto High School got better grades, which allowed Williams to get more opportunities.

With Bellman's help, Williams finally won a partial basketball scholarship to Gunzaga University, made it to the college team, and more importantly, he was a college student, which was completely different from a high school student.

Williams's fate was thus changed, and for the better.

Anderson, who eventually became a lawyer in college, worked in Spokane and didn't get any professional favors for winning an NCAA championship.

But he achieved honors, the biggest and greatest pride of his basketball career, and he played a key role in the game against Georgetown.

When he gets old, he can tell his grandson that his grandfather used to overshadow Ewing's Adventure and help the team win the game.

Gan Guoyang failed to change his fate, but gave him a beautiful wealth in life, which may be priceless.

Gan Guoyang didn't realize in the past that everything he did would help others, so others would fight with him for their goals.

But in the more complex NBA league, the adult world is no longer so simple, and the person who fights with you on the court today may be traded to a rival team tomorrow.

An old opponent who used to be with you to the death may soon become a teammate with you in training, and everything changes too quickly.

In this alliance, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

And everyone's interests are different, Gan Guoyang wants to win, Sampson wants respect, Carl wants connections, Drexler wants playing time, Cauchy wants recognition, Ramsey wants to recreate 1977, everyone is playing the court, but everyone's purpose is different.

Gan Guoyang is not stupid, nor is he a guy who doesn't know what to do, after all, he has the memory of two lives, and he has also experienced the warmth and coldness of the world as an orphan in later generations.

But after being reborn, he acquired a talent that made him begin to ignore some of the things necessary for human interaction, especially on the basketball court, he was used to looking at others with his own mind.

Especially in his two lives, he lacked the role of a mother, which made him often simple and rude when dealing with problems, straightforward and straightforward, and sometimes even stubborn and domineering.

After such a little dialing by old Carl, Gan Guoyang had some realization in his mind, and he thought of what Bill Russell and Nate Thurmond had said to him in the past, "control yourself".

He has never understood these words in depth, perhaps because these two old-timers are also famous stars, and they can't say it thoroughly; On the contrary, Kenny Carr, an old fritter on the street, sees these truths more thoroughly.

"That'...... What exactly should I do? After thinking about it repeatedly, Gan Guoyang actually had the answer in his mind, but he still asked Karl.

"Whew~~ It's very simple, make the people around you better, so that everyone will help you become the best!"
