"The 1986 NBA championship game is about to take place between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Celtics, and tonight will be their first match-up, taking place on the historic Boston Garden Square. It was the first time in history that the two teams met in the Finals, and the Trail Blazers stumbled into the Finals with a 1-3 reversal of the Houston Rockets without being favored by everyone. And the Celtics they will face tonight have been unstoppable in the playoffs, losing only one game in three rounds and reaching the Finals without a hitch. The two teams met twice in the regular season, with the Trail Blazers winning both times and handing the Celtics their only home defeat of the season at Garden Square. So while it's a bit disappointing that the Lakers can't make it to the Finals, the Trail Blazers are undoubtedly a very interesting opponent. ”

At 7 p.m. Atlantic time, CBS TV played music on time, and tonight's TV commentary was Brant Musberg, and it can be seen from his tone that the Trail Blazers are only seen as a "very interesting opponent", not a strong contender for a championship, and it can also be seen from this that the Trail Blazers are seen by most people as "challengers" against the giant Celtics.

"The Trail Blazers are a respectable opponent, they beat us twice in the regular season, and the energy of their backcourt and the intensity of their interior are amazing, and I think it's going to be a tough series." Larry Bird was shown on TV as he was interviewed by the TV station, and Bird was talking about the scene with a blank face, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

"We're a good team, and again, the Trail Blazers, and that's why we're all on this stage. Of course, we're more experienced, they're younger, and I think we'll find some way to deal with them. The second person to be interviewed was Bill Wharton, as a former player of the Trail Blazers and the first contributor to the championship, Wharton's mood must be very complicated at this time, which can not be heard from his words.

Subsequently, the TV station broadcast interviews with several other players of the Celtics, and among the Trail Blazers, only Gan Guoyang was interviewed.

"A lot of people think we came here just to go through the motions, give Celtic two wins and go home, and I want to say they were all wrong. We had a tough road to the Finals, especially in the Western Conference Finals, where we almost fell off a cliff, but that's all in the past, and if we always look at what's going on with the old eyes, we're going to have to pay for it. I'm really looking forward to today's game. Gan Guoyang appeared full of confidence in the interview, and he needs to use this confidence to cheer up his teammates.

In fact, the mentality of the Trail Blazers players is still quite good, and it has exceeded their expectations to be able to reach the finals, and Gan Guoyang's performance in the fifth and sixth games, as well as the unity of the whole team in the seventh game, have made the team's morale reach the highest peak.

Of course, as the game drew to a minute, the tension began to creep in among the players.

"Jones, how did you feel when you used to play in the Celtics Finals?" Drexler cautiously asked veteran Jones in the locker room, who was the only player on the team with Finals experience.

"I don't feel anything, I'm not the protagonist anyway, and I can't take my turn at the opening ceremony, so the coach will let me go on it. I just remember that the home court of the Trail Blazers was very fanatical, very fanatical. It should be no worse than Boston. "Jones played the Trail Blazers in the last Finals, but he was the opponent of the Trail Blazers, the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Don't think about going home before the game even starts, Clyde, it's just the finals, it's nothing." Vanderwig said lightly, then hit an 18-foot jumper in front of Drexler.

"Come on, you've been to the toilet 4 times before the game starts, don't tell me you've drunk too much water."

It would be a lie for Vanderwich not to be nervous, with less than 20 minutes to go before the start of the game, and the stadium was already packed, with avid Boston fans wearing either white or green T-shirts to cheer up the Garden Stadium, which had been deserted an hour before.

The thought of playing a two-hour game tonight in the midst of so many backlashes, boos and handips made it hard for the visiting players not to panic.

"Where did this guy go? I saw him at noon having his personal doctor feed him, which was enviable. Drexler found that Gan Guoyang was about to open when the person was gone.

"He said he had to keep his hand and not touch anything until the game started, except for the basketball accident. He seems to be dealing with an arm injury in the dressing room now, and it seems that there are still some problems. ”

………………

At this time, in the away team's locker room, Shui Miao was re-bandaging Gan Guoyang and giving him arm guards.

During the training, Gan Guoyang still felt a slight discomfort in the triceps of his right arm, although the feeling was very subtle, but out of caution, Gan Guoyang still decided to go to the locker room to let Shui Miao do some simple physiotherapy treatment for himself, and then re-bandage it.

"You'd better wrap it tightly, if it's too loose, it won't be as good as protecting your muscles." Shui Miao suggested that Gan Guoyang tighten the bandage a little tighter.

"It's okay, it's too tight and I can't shoot, in moderation, there shouldn't be much of a problem, if there is a problem, I will take the initiative to ask for treatment." Although Gan Guoyang's injury is showing signs of improvement, based on Shui Miao and Dr. Cook's multiple consultations, the situation may not be as optimistic as imagined.

"Hmph, if you play, where will you want to come down, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get down when a few people pull you." Shui Miao still knows Gan Guoyang's temper quite well.

"When the time comes, I really can't use my arms, and I can't help it... I don't want to think too much, the game is about to start and I'm going to play. Shui Miao has already bandaged Gan Guoyang.

"Well, come on."

At this time, Gan Guoyang stood up and suddenly gave Shui Miao a big hug, Gan Guoyang is very tall, although Shui Miao is not short, but he is still too petite compared to Gan Guoyang.

She was like a small flower surrounded by a big tree, and she was a little at a loss all of a sudden.

But in just an instant, Gan Guoyang let go of his arm, and his hand never touched Shui Miao, just used his arm.

Gan Guoyang turned around and left the locker room, walking towards the field from the players' tunnel, Shui Miao looked at Gan Guoyang's majestic back, and couldn't help but be a little stupid for a while......

…………………

"The game is about to start and the players from both sides are about to start the entrance ceremony, so let's turn the signal to the scene and hand the microphone to my colleague Dick Stockton." Musberg was only the host of the live room, and the commentator at the game was still the familiar Dick Stockton.

"Thank you so much, Brant. Tonight's Finals could mark the beginning of a new era, especially in the West, where the Lakers' streak of four Finals appearances was ended, with the core of the two teams in the Western Conference Finals being the '84 No. 1 and No. 1 Finalists, respectively. They are a new force that is rising in the west. And the Celtics are the traditional force in the NBA, they have been in power for 30 years, and now they continue to play the role of gatekeeper, and I think it must be a great matchup. For the first time, we also welcomed Chinese faces in the finals, which also made the ratings of the finals in the Chinese area shocking. ”

At this time, Gan Guoyang has already become the idol of all Chinese, even Asians in the United States, except for the mainland at this time, the NBA live broadcast has not been introduced at this time, in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and other places, there are countless Asian viewers waiting for the start of the finals in front of the TV.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Boston Garden Square to watch the first game of the 1986 NBA Finals, Portland Trail Blazers vs. Boston Celtics. First, let's introduce the Portland Trail Blazers starters. ”

With the boos of the audience, the five starters of the Trail Blazers entered in turn, and Gan Guoyang was ranked last, but he also received the most boos from the audience.

It's not because Gan Guoyang had any conflicts with fans or Celtics players in Garden Square, but that his 31 points in a single quarter here really hit a Boston fans hard, and they naturally want to use boos to deal with Gan Guoyang.

So this is not only not a humiliation, but an honor.

Subsequently, the boos on the scene turned into warm cheers and applause, in the warm atmosphere created by the fans, the Celtics' starters also played in turn, and their starting lineup was also quite stable, two guards Danny Angie and Dennis Johnson, both are all-round guards who can be 1 or 2, Bird is the starting small forward, and can also play a cameo role as a big forward, Kevin McHale has reached the peak of his personal ability this season, and is the Celtics' most consistent low-post scoring point, Robert Parish, like his nickname, "The Chief", is expressionless but also remarkably stable.

The race is finally about to begin.

Gan Guoyang stepped forward and touched the palms of the Celtics players one by one, and punched Larry Bird.

"Get your ticket back to Portland early, you won't be able to wait to go home." Before the game even started, Larry Bird started to use his trash talk magic skills to hit the Trail Blazers players.

"I've even bought a plane ticket for my next trip to Boston, and of course, I hope it's best not to use it, so I can give it to you when the time comes." Gan Guoyang sneered.

"Uh-huh, I have the same idea as you, and I can solve you in five games." Bird naturally thinks the Trail Blazers don't need to come to Boston anymore and get rid of them in five games.

"We'll see."
