Chapter 288: Consecutive Battles and Defeats

"I'm not trying to accuse you Kiki, but I think you should pay attention to Cooper on the perimeter for that shot, it's a player's responsibility, how can you give the perimeter pitcher such a big gap? Even if he didn't hit the ball in the whole game, he couldn't relax in the slightest! It's a lethal goal for us, I warned you before I defended, I can feel that something is going to happen, do I feel it? ”

"It's the coach's strategy, I can't go against the coach's arrangement, if I go to make up for this ball, the magic may not pass the ball, he may break through directly to the inside line and cause damage, which may hurt us more. And Cooper wasn't for me to target, that's Valentine's job. ”

In the locker room after the game, Gan Guoyang finally couldn't help but argue with Van Dewig, Cooper's crucial three-pointer was the fatal blow to break the Trail Blazers, if this ball can be prevented, the real outcome is unknown.

Gan Guoyang was angry that Van Devey refused to listen to him and keep an eye on Cooper in time, and the Trail Blazers' outside line was penetrated again in this game, with Magic and Worthy scoring 30 and 29 points respectively, and Cooper also scoring 15 points.

On the inside line of the Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar was defended by Gan Guoyang and scored only 17 points, and new recruit Morris Lucas was scored 5 points by Gan Guoyang's one of the seven.

In this case, Gan Guoyang's dissatisfaction with the Trailblazers' ineffective external defense completely broke out.

"But we should be adaptable! In this case, there are already me and Sampson on the inside, we can completely block the magician, if we can't stop it, that's our responsibility, and now there is no defense in place, it's the responsibility of the outside! I don't know what the outside line is defending! Caught in the hands of the magician, you can pinch as much as you want! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, it's hard for anyone to lose, the Lakers are the strongest team in the league, the defending champions, it's good that we can play like this, we all worked hard." Hearing that Gan Guoyang had a tendency to go berserk, Kenny Carr stepped up and spoke.

Kenny Carr's words still have weight for Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang will listen to his words, so Gan Guoyang also forced himself to calm down, but the locker room at this time was quiet and terrifying.

No one retorted, no one complained, Gan Guoyang's angry punch was like hitting cotton, even the head coach Jack Ramsey didn't say anything, he used to have absolute authority in the locker room, and now he doesn't seem to want to care about anything except direct the game on the field.

This silence caused Gan Guoyang to feel a deep sense of helplessness, and he looked at Kenny Carr, the old oilman shook his head lightly at him, as if to remind him not to say anything more.

Even Drexler didn't speak, everyone was silently going about their business, packing up, scrubbing shoes, listening to music with headphones on, flipping through magazines, and after a while reporters would come in for interviews, and a few players needed to attend the post-match press conference.

At this time, Coach Bellman walked up to Gan Guoyang and patted the disciple on the shoulder, it seemed that only he could understand Gan Guoyang's mood, his incomparable dedication to victory and his extreme disgust with defeat.

β€œyou-just-**ing-coard! (You bastards!) Gan Guoyang shouted this sentence in the stunned eyes of the Trail Blazers players, then opened the door of the locker room and left the arena despite the siege of reporters, and did not participate in the post-game interview and press conference.

………………

With a game against the Clippers in Los Angeles tomorrow, the Trail Blazers remain in Los Angeles in the evening, and this is another opportunity for the players to indulge themselves in this world of flowers.

Gan Guoyang also did not choose to stay in the hotel, but chose to go out for a walk, but he refused the coquettish girls who waited at the door of the hotel to hand him the phone business card, and ran to the house of Inglewood King Fuxi alone.

Wang Fuxi was still going to school in Spokane at this time, so Gan Guoyang could only have a few drinks with his future father-in-law at Wang Fuxi's house.

For Wang Fuxi's father, Gan Guoyang has always felt that this uncle who wears glasses, looks polite, and is a little bald is quite mysterious.

Gan Guoyang still remembers that in April 1984, when he was playing in the NCAA Finals, there was a community riot in Inglewood, and many local stores were smashed and looted, as was Wang Fuxi's electrical appliance store.

That day, Wang Fuxi almost missed Gan Guoyang's finals at this time, because Wang Fuxi's father was injured by bandits with a gun in the smashing and robbery.

Later, Gan Guoyang learned that the price of these bandits for injuring Wang Fuxi's father was three dead and one wounded, all of whom were killed and injured by Wang Fuxi's father in self-defense.

From this, Gan Guoyang knew that this "old man" who looked inconspicuous and looked like an ordinary middle-aged uncle was really "deeply hidden".

Thinking that the middle-aged uncle who was sitting in front of him squinting and drinking a little wine once seriously injured one of the three people with a blade, and he only suffered a slight injury, Gan Guoyang felt that it was really "a person who cannot be seen".

And after being released by the Portland Police Department, Gan Guoyang also heard from his cousin Qian Hui that one of the reasons why the FBI wanted to investigate Gan Guoyang was that Wang Fuxi's father was inextricably linked with the Taiwanese community in the United States.

"Forrest Gump, you feel bad about losing today, right? It's okay, losing to the Lakers is nothing! Although I don't watch the game much, I also know that the Lakers are very powerful, Fuxi has always been a Lakers fan before, and since you entered the NBA, he has become a Trail Blazers fan. Wang Fuxi's father said.

At the mention of Wang Fuxi, Gan Guoyang's heart couldn't help but warm, and then he also took a sip of wine and said to Wang Fuxi's father: "Uncle, I'm not afraid of losing, how can a team not lose." But what I am most afraid of is that the people's hearts are scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead, and there will only be more and more games to lose. ”

Gan Guoyang's sentence "The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to bring" seems to have suddenly entered Wang Fuxi's father's heart, he was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said to Gan Guoyang: "Yes, if the people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to bring." So how do you want to lead the team? How do you bring people's hearts together? Everyone's mind is different, each has its own plan, this kind of thing is the most complicated, no one can guess. But if you are the boss, the simplest, take the lead in everything, do the best in everything, and go forward against the team, I don't think anyone will be unconvinced, right? ”

When Gan Guoyang heard it, he knew that this was indeed the truth, Kenny Carr also told him back then, everyone has their own little abacus, not everyone is like him Gan Guoyang only has victory and championship in his eyes, and now this situation is obviously more serious.

But it's not easy to put the team on your shoulders.

"Playing basketball, it's the same as the underworld, you go to the game is like taking people to fight, you don't rush to the front and fight with others as the boss, why should the younger brother work hard for you? Of course, some people want to be god-fathers, but god-fathers also come from the streets, and you see Vito-Corleone (a generation of godfathers) didn't want to kill people in person at first...... Ah, haha, I'm a little too much, it's not appropriate to give examples, anyway, that's the truth~ Hahahaha......" Wang Fuxi's father snorted and continued to drink.

Wang Fuxi's mother is a doctor on night duty at night, so the two can drink until late, seeing that the time is about the same, Gan Guoyang also got up to say goodbye.

When leaving Wang Fuxi's electrical appliance store, Gan Guoyang looked up at her store's shop sign again, it was reinstalled after being smashed and robbed, and it was still the original store name - Zhengmin Electric.

This name is taken from the name of Wang Fuxi's father, Wang Zhengmin, a very common name.

Of course, Gan Guoyang didn't know that there was a famous artist named Wang Zhengquan in Taiwan, and his name was only one word different from Wang Zhengmin.

Wang Zhengquan's stage name is Wang Yu, and he is a famous kung fu actor in the 70s, who has starred in a large number of kung fu martial arts films, including "One-armed Knife", "Blood Drops" and so on.

And Wang Yu has another identity, that is, the backbone member of Taiwan's Bamboo Union Gang, Wang Yu participated in Taiwan's "three major bloody cases" in the 80s, and he is still a core member.

This Wang Yu Wang Zhengquan is the cousin of Wang Fuxi's father Wang Zhengmin, and he is also the Bamboo Union Gang that his cousin recommended Wang Yujin as a sponsor!

It's just that Wang Zhengmin immigrated to the United States early, away from the disputes of Taiwan's underworld, and opened an electrical appliance store here to live an ordinary life, and those past have long been buried deep in his heart.

…………

The next day, the Trail Blazers practiced in Los Angeles, and the dreary atmosphere was still there, and this negative sentiment directly affected the game against the Clippers the next night, and the whole team played lifeless, making a series of mistakes, a season-high 21 turnovers, and finally lost to the Clippers 113-120, suffering a two-game losing streak.

However, the bad luck for the Trail Blazers has only just begun.

On November 17, the Trail Blazers visited Utah and challenged the Jazz away, and this time Karl Malone finally started, but he was taught a little miserable by Gan Guoyang and only scored a pitiful six points.

But Dantley once again ravaged the Trail Blazers' wing defense, scoring 41 points to lead the Jazz to a 133-120 win over the Trail Blazers, who lost three in a row.

On November 19, the Trail Blazers hosted the Milwaukee Bucks, and their offense was greatly weakened by the Bucks' defense, shooting only 40 percent from the field, and losing again 104-117 at home, making it a four-game losing streak.

On November 21, the Trail Blazers' home court was breached by the Nets, with a score of 102-108, a five-game losing streak.

On November 23, the Lakers visited, and they defeated the Trail Blazers 125-115 without any suspense, giving the Trail Blazers six consecutive defeats!

Victory, it seems, was insulated from the Trailblazers all at once.
