Chapter 319: The Western Throne
The skinheads have a long history in Portland, they originally evolved from the older Ku Klux Klux Klan, and as racial tensions continue to intensify in the Oregon area, white living space is crowded out by foreign people of color, the emergence of such ultra-racist groups is almost inevitable.
With the breaking of racial segregation, the continuous development of the American social economy, and the government's crackdown on racial discrimination, the soil for the survival of such extremist organizations is getting smaller and smaller.
And no matter what kind of organization, eating to make money always comes first, so these shaved guys are not so much an ultra-racist organization as an underworld that recruits members under the banner of race.
Of course, they can't compare with the mafia, because they don't have their own industry, at best they are just street gangsters, huddle together to keep warm, and do some illegal things to be thugs for the real behind-the-scenes bosses.
Therefore, after Gan Guoyang proposed a bet of 50,000 US dollars, it is natural for the bald tattooed man to be excited, compared with the green dollar, what race, skin color, all get away.
The tattooed bald head has already calculated in his heart, he has close to the thirty people under his hands, first let some people with little strength go up to consume Gan Guoyang, and then slowly let some big men go up, he doesn't believe that Gan Guoyang is a professional player, his arm strength can be strong enough to do more than thirty people.
He also calculated the distribution method of 50,000 US dollars, and when the time came, he would take 20,000 yuan himself, and the remaining 30,000 yuan would be divided among thirty people, one thousand per person, and this amount of money would be enough for them anyway.
"Matthew! You go first. The tattooed bald head pointed to a subordinate behind him and said, it was an ordinary-looking white man, and his big arm was not as thick as Gan Guoyang's small arm.
Such a person naturally went up to be cannon fodder, so when he easily lost under Gan Guoyang's hands, the tattooed bald face was as usual, and he pointed to the next person.
The other players of the Trail Blazers sat there without saying a word, just coldly watching the skinheads walk up to the coffee table one by one, and were easily knocked down by Gan Guoyang again and again.
"Gan, your hands are fine, right?" Drexler still asked with concern, because Gan Guoyang's right hand was just strained, and he was afraid that Gan Guoyang would have another strain at that time.
"Bang!" As soon as Drexler finished asking, Gan Guoyang had already pressed the wrist of a big white man onto the table.
"No problem, if I don't come here tonight, I'm going to stay in the gym and do strength training, and it's just right now, and I haven't been delayed...... Next. ”
As there were fewer and fewer people available, the tattooed bald head began to sweat, and his expression began to become nervous, more than twenty people had passed, but Gan Guoyang didn't look tired at all, and no one could last two seconds under his arm.
"Grosso! You're on, don't fuck me bad, you'll get five thousand dollars if you win. "The tattooed bald head pulled over a big man of more than 1.9 meters, with a full beard, he looked like a fierce man.
But this person named Grosso sat in front of Gan Guoyang and was still a little smaller, compared to these ordinary people, Gan Guoyang was too tall.
"You've never watched basketball, have you?" Gan Guoyang held Grosso's hand, and the other party tried to squeeze Gan Guoyang's hand hard, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
"Professional players are not out of your reach!" Gan Guoyang roared angrily, easily pressed Grosso's hand on the coffee table, and made a loud noise.
These skinheads are really not interested in sports, and the most they play every day is billiards, and the body and strength they are proud of come from the natural big man of white people on the one hand, and the endless eating of the acquired ones on the other hand.
Of course, a few of them are also frequent visitors to the gym, after all, it is naturally not good to mix up some physical capital outside, but how can they practice that little bit in the gym compared to Gan Guoyang's training.
Moreover, the most important thing in the exercise of wrist wrenching is not the strength of the arm, but the strength of the torso, which is the so-called core strength, so Gan Guoyang is not very worried about the strain of the arm, the triceps brachii does not have to work at all, and the real force is his abdominal muscles, back muscles and gluteus maximus.
The tattooed bald head thought that he could rely on the wheel battle to defeat Gan Guoyang and take 50,000 US dollars, but in fact, they were bound to lose the game from the beginning, and the players of the Pioneers also knew it, and only watched from the sidelines, if Gan Guoyang could drive away this group of white-skinned locusts in this way, it would be better.
In the end, all the tattooed bald men were defeated by Gan Guoyang's men, and only the tattooed bald head was left, and he was the last.
"Come on, baldhead, this is your last chance to defeat me, fifty thousand dollars." Gan Guoyang looked at the tattooed bald head and said with a smile, his eyes full of disdain.
The tattooed bald head dared to agree to Gan Guoyang's challenge, in addition to his ignorance, it also stemmed from his discrimination against yellow people, if Kenny Carr proposed such a challenge, he might hesitate to think about it, but a yellow person like Gan Guoyang was a representative of his frail body in his impression, as thin as a banana.
Now, he had to go into battle in person, although he knew that there was no chance left, but more than thirty brothers looked at him, everyone did their best, and he had to go up if he didn't go.
So, the tattooed bald head put his hand on the coffee table, ready to make a final fight.
"Wait a minute, let's add some chips and make the game a little more exciting." Gan Guoyang said suddenly, and after speaking, he picked up two beer bottles from the side and slammed them towards the coffee table.
The beer bottle shattered on the coffee table, which was also covered with broken glass shards, and Gan Guoyang carefully cleared a clearing from the pile of broken glass slags and put his elbow on it.
"Come on, whoever loses, taste the taste of broken glass."
The tattooed bald head was already covered with beads of sweat, looking at the glass slag on the coffee table, he was going to be pulled down by Gan Guoyang so hard, one arm must be half-crippled, not to mention anything else, the glass embedded in the flesh alone was enough for him.
At this moment, a faint siren sounded, and it seemed that the police in Portland were late, and they didn't know why the police came so late.
"I, I, I... I'm leaving, the police are coming, let's put our competition until next time! "The tattooed bald head is not good, and he wants to escape under an excuse.
Where would Gan Guoyang let him go, suddenly grabbed the tattooed bald hand, pressed it on the coffee table, and forcibly competed with him.
“No!” The tattooed bald head just wanted to exert his strength, but found that an unstoppable huge force came from his arm, followed by heart-rending pain, and his entire right hand was pressed by Gan Guoyang on the coffee table that was dissatisfied with the glass slag.
The tattooed bald hair made a pig-killing cry and was dragged by his men to escape through the back door of the nightclub, and it seemed that they were still familiar with the terrain.
Then the police arrived, and they were surprised to see the Trailblazers players in the box, but fortunately, their story is relatively clear, and they don't need Gan Guoyang and them to make a record, otherwise it will be annoying again.
When this happened, the players naturally didn't want to stay here anymore and went home, and tomorrow the Trail Blazers will go to Los Angeles to play.
Drexler drove Gan Guoyang home, and on the way, Drexler also raised some questions about this matter, because this nightclub is also one of the largest nightclubs in Portland, and the security measures have always been very good, how could it be smashed by some rabble.
In addition, why did they just pick today, why did they dare to stay for so long after the smash, there are many doubts about everything, but the two discussed for a while, and felt that there were no eyebrows, anyway, the whole team was fine, Gan Guoyang's arm was fine, and this matter was over.
The next day, the Trail Blazers team traveled to Los Angeles to prepare for the first place in the West with the Lakers.
Before the game, the Lakers were 51-16, the Trail Blazers were 56-14, and the Trail Blazers had a relatively large advantage.
What happened last night, everyone who went to the nightclub was tight-lipped, and the media was also calm, it seems that this incident will not be exposed as a legendary story until Gan Guoyang retires and makes a memoir.
The Trail Blazers are very calm in their mindset for this game, and they don't seem to need to prove anything by picking off the Lakers, because they are now the number one hegemon in the West.
By March 18, the two teams had their fourth game of the season at the Great Western Forum Arena.
No one expected that at the beginning of the game, it fell into a one-sided situation, and the Lakers were not the opponents of the Trail Blazers at all, and their starters were in extremely poor shape tonight, and the first and second quarters were completely pressed by the Trail Blazers.
On the Trail Blazers' side, the starters are in amazing shape, both offensive and defensive, methodical, unhurried, and in an unusually good state.
The head coach of the Lakers, Pat Riley, was in a hurry to turn around on the sidelines, constantly transferring troops, replacing Lucas and AC Green, and Abdul-Jabbar was made 0 of 5 shots by Gan Guoyang in the first half.
Ramsey entered the rotation according to the plan, so he was not impatient, and he also found that the players seemed to be very cohesive, condensed around Gan Guoyang, everyone was listening to his command, especially in defense, he was like a central marshal deploying everything.
Ramsey is still a little strange about this, how can more than a day pass, Gan Guoyang's leadership seems to have risen again, and it has risen a lot.
In the second half, the Lakers were a bit relieved, and their bench came into play in the first half, biting the score tightly and the two sides entered a fierce tussle.
The advantage accumulated by the Trail Blazers in the first half was eroded little by little, and the Lakers spent a quarter and a half, and finally chased the score to only 2 points at the end of the fourth quarter, forcing the Trail Blazers to call a timeout.
However, after the timeout, Colter and Vanderwig both hit jumpers, while Abdul-Jabbar's hook was interfered with by Gan Guoyang and missed, and the score suddenly opened up again.
When the game ended with a 130-125 victory for the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers players began to really realize that in the West, maybe they really had a chance to get on the throne.
