The Trailblazers' road to Detroit was full of thorns.

After the game in Cleveland, heavy snow began to fall throughout the Great Lakes region of the United States, and regional flights from Cleveland to Detroit were forced to cancel Taiwu.

Since Cleveland wasn't far from Detroit, the Trailblazers took a bus around Lake Erie to Motor City to the northwest.

Leaving the warm and cozy hotel and driving on the road in a car in the wind and snow is not as romantic as you imagined.

The cold weather and icy roads forced drivers to slow down, otherwise an accident could ruin the entire Trailblazer.

"I think we should just get on a plane and wait for the blizzard to pass, instead of getting in a car on this damn road. If we accidentally flip over, oh my, we're going to make headlines tomorrow Colter, who was sitting in his seat, looked out the window at the snow and grumbled.

"Shut your stinky mouth, you'd better think about how to deal with Thomas at night, Gan Guoyang, who was sitting next to Colt yesterday when you were beaten badly by Davis, doesn't want to hear those unlucky words.

Since the games against Detroit were back-to-back, according to the weather forecast, the heavy snow would not stop for a while, so the Trail Blazers chose to take the car, and the game was scheduled to take this evening.

By the time the Trail Blazers arrived in downtown Detroit, it was already afternoon, and the snow had not stopped.

When we arrived in the city, the roads were congested due to snow, and the Pioneers' buses were left on the road and could not move.

Worse was yet to come, the car, which had been on the road for more than three hours, broke down two kilometers from the hotel, and his engine seemed to have been damaged by the cold weather.

So the Trail Blazers players had to get out of the car and walk to the hotel, which might have been faster.

"Luckily, I only come to the Great Lakes once a year, otherwise I'd have gone crazy. But I wonder if we can pick a better time next year and not walk at the front of the line on this damn snowy day with Vanderwig carrying his own luggage.

"Luckily we weren't playing football, but Drexler, who was walking with Van Dewjk, a basketball player, quipped.

"I want to be a table tennis player more so that I can win a world championship Gan Guoyang's joke is colder than the weather here.

Soon, the group finally arrived at the hotel, and everyone hurried to the room to settle down, and then took a comfortable hot bath.

By the time everything was arranged, night had fallen on the car city, and the Blazers had no time to concentrate on training, so they had to head to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum to prepare for the evening's games.

At that time, in the NBA, "Memorial-Coliseum" was a common stadium name, for example, the home arena where the Trail Blazers were located was called Memorial Coliseum.

Because commercialization was not yet prevalent in the NBA at that time, many sports centers were public utilities and had commemorative names, most of which were war memorials or veterans' memorials.

Beginning in the 1984-85 season, many stadiums were sold to commercial companies.

As soon as he entered the venue of the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Gan Guoyang felt that the atmosphere here was obviously different from that of Cleveland.

The same huge stands, Cleveland were empty, while Detroit was full, and the spectators were already seated early before the game started.

Gan Guoyang often sees this situation in Portland, but he didn't expect that the enthusiasm of Detroit audiences is no worse than that of Portland.

Gan Guoyang's deepest impression of the Detroit Pistons is naturally the battle with the most points in history, and one of the protagonists of that battle is already Gan Guoyang's teammates at this time.

The Pistons were on firepower that year, averaging 117 points per game this season, the third-highest in the league behind the Denver Nuggets, and it was these two teams that were able to play a 186-184 game.

But their defense was a mess, and they were able to make up for their defensive deficiencies in the regular season and finish fourth in the East to make the playoffs.

But in the fiercely contested and more targeted playoffs, they were eliminated by the Knicks in the first round, and they were beaten into a sieve by Bernard King in the series, averaging 42 points per game.

This season, their style has not changed, and they are still running on the road of indiscriminate bombardment, which has also led to their inconsistent form, winning and losing, and fluctuating a lot.

It's just that before facing the Portland Trail Blazers in this game, the entire Pistons have rested for 4 days, while the Trail Blazers have been working hard all the way, hurrying to their destination to start the game immediately.

Gan Guoyang was doing warm-up exercises on the field, and even he who had always been energetic felt a little tired, and the continuous away games and the fatigue of the journey made him feel that his competitive state was not particularly good.

The number of fans in the memorial arena is increasing, and the sound is becoming more and more noisy, and before the official start of the game, Gan Guoyang is almost unable to hear the sound of the ball smashing on the basket.

It's a great feeling to be at home, but it's not a good feeling to be away from home when you think there are so many people looking at you.

Soon, after the opening ceremony, the starters from both sides took to the court, and the Trail Blazers' second consecutive back-to-back games were about to begin.

"Hey, Gan Gan Guoyang hasn't stood in the middle circle yet, but he heard someone greet him.

Gan Guoyang saw that it was the opponent's point guard, and Gan Guoyang wore the same number as Isaiah Thomas.

For Thomas, Gan Guoyang is a long-time well-known person, and when he used to watch NBA games, he felt that this small point guard was one of the few guys who played more like a 21st century player.

At that time, the dribbling posture of the defenders looked like a grandmother pouting and bending over, carrying a basket in her hand, and most of them dribbled with one hand, and changed hands less often.

Thomas was one of the few guards who was extremely proficient in dribbling, crotch, changing direction and turning his body extremely smoothly, and he perfectly combined actual combat and performance, giving the NBA audience a great visual enjoyment at the time.

Later, new guards such as Jordan began to have such dribbling skills, which also represents the innovative trend of NBA outside technology.

In the game against the Nuggets, Thomas scored 47 points, the highest score on the team, and Gan Guoyang was also impressed by him.

Hello Gan Guoyang replied politely and smiled at Thomas.

And Thomas also responded to Gan Guoyang with a standard smile, his smile was as sweet as a baby, and often made people think that this guy must be a friendly person.

Gan Guoyang is competing against Thomas for the first time, so he naturally doesn't know the huge danger hidden behind this smile.

"Don't laugh kid, you won't be able to laugh later, Gan Guoyang's ears heard another person's voice.

Gan Guoyang turned his head and found that the center of the Detroit Pistons was standing in the center circle and looking at him coldly, a tall and handsome blonde white man.

In the NBA, there are stars everywhere, but handsome guys are hard to find, because there is a gap between the appearance of black people and the mainstream aesthetics.

Van Dewig can be called a handsome guy on the Trail Blazers, and Drexler, although black, has more white physiognomy traits.

Gan Guo's masculine and square face has greatly changed the impression of many Americans on the Chinese.

But none of them were as handsome as the white man No. 40, who was a standard blonde handsome man, with a tall nose, deep eyes, and knife-like lips.

It's just that the words that come out of his mouth really don't match his appearance, just like a girl who looks quiet and sweet, shouting "**" in her mouth.

Gan Guoyang was still deceived by the appearance of this center, and was in a state of confusion and confusion, if someone else talked to him like this, he would have already gone up to trash talk.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Gan Guoyang still had the upper hand in the scrum, easily overpowering the No. 40 white center and fighting for the offensive rights for the Trail Blazers.

At the Trail Blazers' brief prep meeting before the game began, Ramsey's request was to "go as usual and let go."

The meaning of this requirement is basically that there is no requirement, because the time is too rushed, and there is no time to do pre-game analysis and preparation.

So after the opening, the whole Trail Blazers' offense looked a little messy and sluggish, and the players stood on the court and didn't know how to run.

Ramsey no longer stood on the sidelines yelling as usual, and the old man in his 60s was a little discouraged by the bumps of the road for several hours.

This game is estimated to be a meal to watch the sky, and the fight is the accumulation of the players' usual training.

Seeing that there is no good way to attack, Vanderwich naturally has to step up, and as the number one player for the Trail Blazers, he has the responsibility to play the first striker.

The Pistons' defense is also really bad, and it is their No. 7 Kelly Tripka who plays against Vanderwig at the small forward position.

Kelly Tripka is similar in style to Vanderwicki, both white shooters-type forwards, and in the first two seasons, Tripka has been the Pistons' leading scorer.

However, Van Dewic is one size taller than Tripka in terms of size, Van Dewicki is physically stronger and more versatile in attack, especially his ability in the low post, which is better than Tripka.

When Vandewig faced Tripka, he hit a two-point jumper with a back-turn jumper to open the scoring for the Trail Blazers.

"You'd better fucking stay away from meJust when Vanderwig scored, Gan Guoyang under the basket finally couldn't stand it and began to explode.

After the jump ball ended, the No. 40 player on the opposite side kept sticking to Gan Guoyang, making physical contact while chattering about something unclean.

Gan Guoyang's little affection for this guy has long since disappeared, but he didn't expect him to be such a nasty guy.

Gan Guoyang was originally short-tempered on the court, and if the opponent provoked him slightly, he would immediately fight back, whether it was in his mouth or in the ball, and rarely gave the opponent a chance to be presumptuous.

So when the No. 40 player secretly pushed Gan Guoyang's ribs with his elbow when Vanderwig was shooting, Gan Guoyang finally began to spit on this guy.

And No. 40 didn't care about Gan Guoyang's saliva, and ran to the front court with an ignorant face, which made Gan Guoyang even more angry.

On the defensive end, Gan Guoyang ran to the basket to guard his three-second zone.

However, No. 40 did not enter the three-second zone at all, but stood outside the three-point line to respond.

Gan Guoyang thought that I was waiting for you to come in the three-second zone, but he didn't expect the No. 40 center, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, hesitated on the outside and shot directly!

The '84-85 season was the fifth season in which the three-point line was introduced to the league, and the three-point shot was more often used as a last resort to score or a secret weapon.

Guards and forwards rarely shoot from beyond the three-point line, and a shooting master like Vanderwich averages less than one three-pointer per game.

And a center pulls out to shoot a three-pointer, it's like a sow on a tree.

For Gan Guoyang in the 21st century, it is not uncommon for a center to shoot three points, but he has long been accustomed to the basketball environment in the 80s, and he didn't expect the opponent to come to such a move.

"Huh!" The goal went in!

Gan Guoyang's face was incredible, and he took the ball to the bottom line to serve.

is also because of insufficient preparation before the game, Gan Guoyang did not expect the opponent's center to shoot a three-point shot.

The audience cheered as an NBA player scored a three-pointer, which was more precious than a dunk.

Gan noticed that many of the audience members were holding up big signs that read "e-on-laimbeer!" ”

"Ranbier? This guy's name is Ranbier, and Gan Guoyang paid attention to the name printed on the back of the No. 40 player at this time, and found that his name was Ranbier.

"The girl just pulled outside to shoot, and I'll let you see what the center Gan Guoyang continues to spit on Ranbir later, once Gan Guoyang starts, it can't stop.

"Don't fucking tease me, Ranbiel the Yellow Pig is starting to fight back.

Now Gan Guoyang was angry, he hated it most when others talked about his skin color, let alone insulted him.

"You're fucking waiting to turn into a piece of bird shit!" After Gan Guoyang finished speaking, he pushed Ranbier hard, ready to get stuck under the basket.

"Beep!" However, the referee's whistle blew.

Gan Guoyang looked at the referee pointing at him and said that he had fouled, and he instantly felt inexplicable.

At this time, he realized that Ranbier, who had just been pushed by him, had fallen to the ground, as if Gan Guoyang had the strength of a thousand catties just now.

"I just gave him a nudge! Isn't this a normal action? Gan Guoyang pleaded to the referee.

The referee ignored him and instead picked up the ball and gave it to the Pistons players and asked them to serve a sideline ball.

"Go back and defend Gan! Don't argue with the referee! Ramsey reminded on the sidelines.

Back on the defensive end, instead of continuing to stand in the three-second zone, Gan Guoyang followed Ranbier, who decided not to let him shoot threes anymore.

Rambier didn't shoot another three-pointer, but the Trail Blazers were empty inside, and Thomas made a change of direction and a small throw to add two more points to the Pistons.

Gan Guoyang held the ball on the bottom line, looked at the handsome Ranbill, and suddenly felt a huge crisis.
