The turmoil did not affect Gan Guoyang to fly to Houston, Texas, with the Trail Blazers on November 5 to participate in a game against the Rockets.

Gan's return to the team relieved everyone on the Trail Blazers, and the first thing Drexler said when he saw Gan was, "You're finally back, we fucking thought you were a spy sent by China." ”

Gan Guoyang was certainly not a spy, but a night at the police station still affected his state, after all, he stayed there for 18 hours, could not eat or sleep well, and was absent from the team's daily training.

And in this game, he will face the Rockets' further mature twin towers - Olajuwon and Sampson.

Last season, the Twin Towers took shape, causing a storm in the regular season, but they failed to fully unleash their talent in the more brutal playoffs and fell at the feet of the Jazz Twin Towers.

Olajuwon also tried his luck in the offseason, training hard in Houston with his strongest rival, Gan Guoyang, and over the course of a summer, Olajuwon gained nearly 10 pounds while increasing his agility and speed.

However, in the opening few games of the season, Olajuwon's performance has not been very consistent, with big ups and downs, and he does not seem to have fully adjusted his form.

This game against the Trail Blazers is the battle that Olajuwon has been waiting for for a long time, and he has already sharpened his knives.

The Rockets' other giant, Talralph Sampson, is in solid form, averaging 24.2 points and 17.4 rebounds per game in five games.

As the run-in between the two continues to deepen, this super-team on the inside will make huge waves in the NBA this season.

Even a "twin tower killer" like Gan Guoyang had some drums in his heart before the game, especially when he didn't practice with his teammates, which made him worry about his state.

For a top insider, when he begins to hesitate and waver in his heart, then he will be at a disadvantage in the inside fight that must fight for every inch of land.

Gan Guoyang was at a disadvantage at the beginning.

For the first time, he couldn't concentrate on a game, the first time he couldn't play at his full capacity due to off-court factors, and the first time he was out of the court with six fouls in the NBA.

When the Trail Blazers trailed the Rockets by 11 points at 101-112 in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, and there were few opportunities left, Gan Guoyang knocked down Olajuwon in the offensive and was whistled for an offensive foul, his sixth foul of the game, and he had just been substituted at this time, after he sat on the bench for most of the quarter because of five premature fouls.

For this group of Texas fans, Gan Guoyang's penalty may be more exciting than Olajuwon's successful dunk, they still remember the scene when Gan Guoyang wreaked havoc on the inside of the Summit Arena last season, and the Texans are the most vindictive.

"I just elbowed him apart, apart, a normal movement! Don't you understand, I didn't use any force at all! How could I push him down in one go, he faked a fall! Gan Guoyang repeatedly demonstrated the elbow lift he had just made, indicating that he was just in a normal position, and complained to the referee.

But all this was in vain, as long as the referee's foul verdict was made, it was impossible to change it, and the referee on duty, Greystone, ignored Gan Guoyang's explanation, pointed to the sidelines, and signaled Gan Guoyang to leave the field quickly.

......Gan Guoyang could only shake his head and leave the court, his data in this game was fixed at 18 points and 10 rebounds, which is not bad data.

But Olajuwon, who was opposite him, had already scored 38 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks at this time, and in tonight's one-on-one matchup, Gan Guoyang was completely suppressed by Olajuwon.

Gan Guoyang sat on the bench and threw off the towel in his hand in frustration, he was extremely dissatisfied with his performance, especially on the defensive end, he was in average condition, plus he encountered the outbreak of Olajuwon, and was beaten by Olajuwon in one-on-one offense and defense.

Especially in the protection of backcourt rebounds, he was robbed of 11 frontcourt rebounds by Olajuwon alone in this game, and he failed to protect the Trail Blazers' restricted area at all, making the Trail Blazers suffer the losses of the Rockets' second offense many times.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 116:127, and the Rockets easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers at home, ending the Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak and breaking the Trail Blazers' unbeaten gold body since the start of the season.

As of today's game, the only unbeaten team in the league is the Denver Nuggets, who have won their first five games, but that shouldn't be long.

After the match, Gan Guoyang left the arena without saying hello to anyone, and although he should have congratulated Olajuwon, his poor performance made Gan Guoyang reluctant to be a foiler.

Olajuwon shone in this game, scoring a game-high 41 points and 18 rebounds, the undoubted best of the game.

"Akeem, what do you think of your performance in this match, and the performance of Gan, who is opposite you?" Olajuwon was asked this question in the post-match sideline interview.

"Well, tonight I was aggressive, I was in 120 percent and I felt like I was great. And Gan doesn't seem to be in such a good shape, I heard he's in some trouble, but a game is a game, I still won, I'm happy, and I wish him the best of luck. Olajuwon answered reporters' questions.

Gan Guoyang did get into some trouble, and when he returned to the locker room to take a shower and sit in the interview room to be interviewed by reporters, he knew that he was in trouble.

Few reporters paid attention to the game itself, but all asked about Gan Guoyang's taking to the police station yesterday.

Gan Guoyang's answer was also very simple, "I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding, I promise that I have nothing to do with any criminal acts, and I'm clean." ”

Such an answer naturally could not satisfy the curiosity of the reporters, but Gan Guoyang's patience was limited, and the staff of the Pioneer quickly terminated the interview to prevent Gan Guoyang from being harassed again, and his mood was bad enough.

The Trail Blazers' trip to Texas doesn't end there, as they travel to Houston and head to Dallas to meet the Mavericks, last season's playoff opponents.

The Mavericks haven't done much in the offseason, building the team with Aquili and Blackman as the core of the backcourt, and the interior is pinning on Sam Perkins' growth.

In this year's draft, the Mavericks selected a player from Germany, a tall small forward who graduated from the University of Washington, Dietleff Schramf, which strengthened the Mavericks' frontcourt to a certain extent.

But Schramf is only a rookie after all, and there is a limit to the changes he can make.

But the strength of the Mavericks should not be underestimated, and the playoff match between the two teams last season also made this game a "revenge battle" for the Mavericks.

Gan Guoyang, who held his breath in the last game, vented all his anger on the calf, and it was none of his business if the opponent took revenge or not.

Gan Guoyang was on fire from the first quarter, seizing every single opportunity to attack the Mavericks' interior line, the Mavericks' center Kurt Nimfius, and rookie Bill Winnington took turns to play, but unfortunately the two white interior players were either too short and powerless, or too young and inexperienced.

In front of the angry Gan Guoyang, the Mavericks' interior line was torn to the ground, and Gan Guoyang scored 45 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single game, which is enough to see that he focuses on offense.

The Trail Blazers also defeated the Dallas Mavericks away by 129:110, 19 points, making the Mavericks' so-called revenge battle completely ruined.

And Gan Guoyang's scoring show also prompted the Mavericks to trade for 7-foot-2 center James Donaldson from the Los Angeles Clippers in a subsequent trade to try to curb Gan Guoyang's rampant interior.

Winning this game made Gan Guoyang feel refreshed instantly, but the interview after the game still gave him a headache, because the reporters asked exactly the same questions as the day before yesterday, just staring at Gan Guoyang being taken back to the police station for interrogation.

Gan Guoyang followed Qian Hui's instructions and did not disclose any information in public interviews, only saying that he was misunderstood and had nothing to do with the crime.

Now the best way to solve this incident is, of course, the police or the FBI come forward to clarify, but there are many issues about the Jiangnan case, the police and the FBI are still investigating, and Gan Guoyang can only rely on himself if he wants to get his innocence.

Thankfully, with only two games on the road trip to Texas, they don't have to go to San Antonio to trouble the Spurs, and the Trail Blazers can go straight back to Portland after playing the Mavericks.

Gan Guoyang's top priority is to find a reliable media and reporter to conduct an exclusive interview to clarify this matter, completely solve this matter, and concentrate on the game.

But when he thought of this, Gan Guoyang was worried again, because he found that even in Portland, there was no media that had a close relationship with him, and with Gan Guoyang's style of acting, it was good to have a few bad media.

So Gan Guo didn't know which media to choose to do the interview, and when he returned to Portland, the phone calls of various media outlets were about to blow up his landline, and the inbox at the door was stuffed with newspaper business cards.

"Oh my God, there are so many media outlets, what the hell am I going to do?" Gan Guoyang collected all those business cards and looked at them one by one, including reporters from well-known major media in the United States, such as "New York Times", "Washington Post", "Sports Illustrated" and so on.

But these newspapers are not in Gan Guoyang's choice, he hopes that this matter is as small as possible, rather than being hyped by these big media and made known to the whole United States.

"Pick slowly, to be honest, I think your cousin is right, you really should manage your media relations, public figures need a good image." Bellman said as he sat on the sidelines doing his data collation.

“…… I'll take a look, this guy, it's a little interesting, maybe a good choice. And Gan Guoyang seems to have picked the right person.

"Okay, it's you, "Portland Country Music Newspaper", reporter Wu Zhiwen."
