(The problem of the protagonist's personality and teammate relationship must be solved. This paragraph may have been written a bit early. I was originally going to write it in more depth in the season, but the description of the continuous game is too monotonous; and the protagonist should have grown up, and he is a time traveler at least.)

Gan Guoyang did not go home after the game for the first time, but stayed at Andy's bar with his teammates until the early morning.

Of course, Gan Guoyang did not drink too much wine. He did not quit drinking and sex like the Puritans, but he would not drink a lot of alcohol during the season.

In comparison, Kenny Carl was ignorant and drank happily in the bar. His continuous away trips had long made Carl thirsty. He had no time to go to the bar in the eastern cities.

Carl's alcohol tolerance was excellent, so Gan Guoyang watched him pour several bottles into it alone, and his thinking was still quite clear.

"Sampson is not popular, yes, he always looks arrogant because he is the No. 1 pick, because he has been with the Trail Blazers for the longest time... Oh my God, the No. 1 pick in the Trail Blazers have this bad habit." Carl took another sip.

Another No. 1 pick in the Trail Blazers, Bill Walton, is also a stinky stone with a weird temper. He is famous in the whole league in this regard, so although Carl has never played with Walton, he has heard of it.

Gan Guoyang also took a sip of the beer in the glass, but did not speak. He did not feel happy because Carl criticized Sampson, but instead felt a little nervous.

Because Gan Guoyang thought about it carefully, he seemed not much better than Sampson.

Since he came to the Trail Blazers, he has had conflicts with the team's two veterans, and the conflict with the team's nominal boss Sampson is getting deeper and deeper.

This is still the case when the team has excellent record. Once the team's performance is qualifying, I still don't know what the team will look like.

"What's wrong? I won't talk anymore? Do you think you are similar to Sampson? Hahaha, you geniuses with high rankings don't like each other. You look down on me and I look down on you, and no one will give in." Carl said meaningfully.

Gan Guoyang lowered his head and smiled. He found that this was indeed the case. He felt a vague feeling of looking down on Sampson in his heart.

When he joined the Trail Blazers, he only knew that Drexler was the only one. The two met on the first day of training. Drexler angered Gan Guoyang with a dunk, but he also won the respect of Gan Guoyang, and the two became good friends.

Later he learned about Van derwich. The two shot after training. Van derwich's nearly 100-distance mid-range jump shot aroused Gan Guoyang's determination to contact the mid-range shot. He competed with Van derwich every day, and the two became good friends.

It can be seen that anyone with strength or players who train hard and strive to get the respect of Gan Guoyang, who is such a "snobbish" guy.

As for Sampson, Gan Guoyang did not know that he was the top scorer at first, because Gan Guoyang had never heard of his name in later generations.

He just found that this guy always came on time and left on time during training, never arrived early, and never practiced more. This made the training madman Gan Guoyang feel unhappy and felt that he had not tried hard at all.

Later, Gan Guoyang learned that this man was the No. 1 pick in 1978, full of talent, and his skills and experience at the basket were indeed quite outstanding.

But the two had a small conflict due to a bag carrying incident, and due to the personality of both parties, the conflict was getting bigger and bigger.

Sampson couldn't stand the team another big yellow-skinned man who was arrogant and liked to show off. Sampson felt that Gan Guoyang liked to take the ball at low posts so much to show off.

Gan Guoyang doesn't like Sampson's training and competition attitude that he just lived through. Gan Guoyang always feels that Sampson has not done his best, otherwise why would he not be famous in history as a No. 1 pick?

However, Kenny Carl saw it very clearly that these two guys are just the same type of people. They are both prides who have been the boss since high school and have entered the NBA with thousands of glory.

When these people meet, they will never succumb to the other side, and the final result is often both sides.

But Carl also understood that the two people were different. Although Sampson was the No. 1 pick and performed quite well in the NBA, he never had any earth-shaking achievements.

Compared with the last Trail Blazers No. 1 pick Bill Walton, Sampson is indeed a bit far behind.

Moreover, Kenny Carl, who entered the NBA one year earlier than Sampson, could understand that Sampson now should be at the age of having been worn out with ambitions, just to play well and treat basketball as a job.

In Gan Guoyang, Carl saw the appearance of most young players when he first entered the NBA. They had passion for training and game enthusiasm, were tireless on the court, and wished that the coach would always put him on the court.

The difference is that Gan Guoyang is one of the few people with extremely high talent. Carl felt in that game against the Lakers that Gan Guoyang was calm and stable when he was hitting the Lakers' inside line at a low post, which was definitely not an occasional burst of touch, but a real basketball talent.

This talent is even better than Sampson. Coach Ramsey should also see this, so he tolerated Gan Guoyang in daily life.

Kenny Carl had known for a long time that there would always be conflicts between Sampson and Gan Guoyang, but he did not expect that the outbreak of this conflict would come so quickly. Just one month later, the two seemed to have reached the brink of irreconcilability.

Thinking of this, Carl took another sip of wine and looked at Gan Guoyang who was silent next to him.

"This yellow-skinned boy is really not a worry-free guy. But maybe I can help him, and he may really achieve great things in the future." Carl is not like he looks like on the court, just a blue-collar worker who does dirty work and tiring work.

On the contrary, he has a very flexible mind. For him, the NBA is a very good job, with a high salary, and he also likes to play. However, the competition in this industry is fierce and the elimination rate is very high. Especially for non-star players like him, they are easily replaced.

Although the salary in the NBA at that time was much higher than in the 1960s and 1970s, it had not reached the point where you could make a lifetime of money in a year after the 1990s.

Therefore, many role players also have to consider their life after retirement while playing basketball, after all, they have to support their families.

Carl is the one who started preparing early. He had already planned. After retiring in the NBA, he would use the money he earned from playing against the NBA to build a construction company to carry out venue construction and decoration for the NBA.

If you want to do business and build a business in the United States, you also need qualifications and connections. Carl thinks that if Gan Guoyang can succeed, it will be a big tree worth relying on. NBA superstars are the core resource of the league, and there will always be various opportunities around them.

As long as you have a good relationship with superstars, you can get to know more elites, which will be beneficial to expanding your business without any harm.

The thoughts flashed through my mind, and Kenny Carl decided to give some advice to this frigid genius boy and bring them closer together.

"Gan, you said you want to become famous in the entire league, so what method are you going to use to achieve this goal?" Carl, who seemed a little drunk, suddenly turned the topic back to the content of the conversation between the two at the beginning.

Gan Guoyang thought for a while and said, "Defeat everyone."

This is the answer that Gan Guoyang has always believed in. As long as he defeats everyone, he will be the strongest and the best. Just as Jordan has done in another time and space.

"Down with everyone...hehe...including your teammates, too?" Carl continued.

"No...I will...I will defeat others with my teammates." Gan Guoyang added.

"What should you do if someone doesn't want to go with you and defeat others?" Carl didn't stop asking.

"Then I will defeat him and let him understand that I should listen to me in the team." Gan Guoyang thought of his comprehensive suppression of other players' strength in high school and college, and everyone turned to victory step by step around him as the core.

"Gan, not everyone is like you. The purpose of playing basketball is to defeat everyone. Some people are incapable, and some people do not have that heart. But this does not mean that they and you are enemies, so they must defeat them and make them surrender. Any basketball player is eager for victory and afraid of failure. It is like farmers are eager for a good harvest and herders are afraid of wolves. It is just that some people are trying to be the best, and some people are trying to make their lives a little better." After Carl said that, he took another sip.

"Did you understand?"

"No...I know what you said, but I don't understand what he means..."

"This means that you can be the best, but it doesn't mean that others want to be the best like you. You beat Sampson in training, and then others will regard you as the boss and then pursue the championship together? No, you are wrong, and others will continue to play the basketball he wants according to his own life, a bigger contract, more enjoyment, and a better life. This is not the Colosseum in Rome, killing the leader and you can become the leader, no, you are nothing. If you want to defeat everyone one by one, then in the end, you are defeated."

Carl said a lot more. Gan Guoyang didn't expect that this black man had so many things in his mind.

It was then that he began to understand in his heart that a professional team did not fight for honor, but also had a lot of money and a lofty status.

Not everyone is like Gan Guoyang just wants to win the game and win the championship. Everyone’s life is not just basketball, they have many other things.

Gan Guoyang's goal is only victory, but he cannot win alone. If he wants others to help him win, he should let others achieve their goals and make them better.

Gan Guoyang suddenly remembered Williams in high school and Anderson in college.

Williams was originally just an ordinary high school player. After graduating from high school, he might go to a community to find odd jobs, and ended up losing his life like many black people in slums, and even embarked on the path of crime.

But because of the arrival of Gan Guoyang, Palo Alto High School achieved better results, which gave Williams more opportunities.

With Bellman's help, Williams finally obtained some basketball scholarships from Gonzaga University and successfully joined the university team. More importantly, he is a college student, which is completely different from a high school student.

Williams' fate was changed in this way, and in a positive direction.

When Anderson was in college, he eventually became a lawyer and worked in Spokane. He did not get any professional team favored by winning the NCAA championship.

But he achieved honors, achieved the greatest pride of his basketball career, and played a key role in his game against Georgetown.

After he got old, he could tell his grandson that his grandfather had been overshadowing Ewing's beating and helped the team win the game.

Gan Guoyang failed to change his destiny, but he gave him a wonderful life wealth, which may be priceless.

Gan Guoyang did not realize in the past that everything he did would help others, so others would work hard for their goals with him.

But in the more complex NBA league, the adult world is no longer that simple. Those who fight side by side with you today may be traded to the mortal enemy team tomorrow.

The old opponents who were in the past who never died in the past may become teammates who train with you immediately, and everything changes too quickly.

In this alliance, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Everyone's interests are different. Gan Guoyang wants to win, Sampson wants to respect, Carl wants to connect, Drexler wants to play time, Cauchy wants to recognize, Ramsey wants to reappear, and everyone wants to play in 1977. Everyone is working hard on the court, but everyone's purpose is different.

Gan Guoyang is not stupid, nor is he an ungrateful guy. After all, he has two lives of memories. As an orphan in his later generations, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.

But the talent he gained after his rebirth made him begin to ignore some of the necessary things for people to interact with, especially on the basketball court, where he is used to looking at others with his own thinking.

Especially in his two lives, he lacked the role of mother, which made him often simple and rough when dealing with problems, straightforward and sometimes even stubborn and domineering.

After Old Carl's explanation, Gan Guoyang had some clarity in his mind. He thought of the words Bill Russell and Nate Thurmond had said to him in the past.

He has never understood these words in depth, perhaps because these two old seniors are also successful and famous stars, and they can't explain them thoroughly; on the contrary, Kenny Carl, a floppy old man, has a more thorough understanding of these principles.

"Then... what should I do?" Gan Guoyang actually had an answer in his mind after thinking repeatedly, but he still asked Carl.
