Chapter 171 The first advertisement

"There are 3 minutes left before the end of the game, and the audience began to leave one after another. The Trail Blazers led the Bulls by 15 points 115:100. Unless a miracle happens, the Bulls will not have much chance in this game. Jordan is still making the final effort... a mid-range jump shot hit! This is his 29th point in this game, which has exceeded his average score of 28 points in the season, which means that no one can shake his position in the scoring list. If he scores another point, it will be his fifth game in a single game of more than 30 points in recent games."

"But the other Bulls' players performed too poorly. They failed to give Jordan enough support in the key third quarter. When chasing points in the fourth quarter, the Bulls were suppressed by Van dervich and Gan Guoyang."

"That's right, Van dervic's return gave the Trail Blazers a great cushion room, and Ramsey was more skilled in dispatching troops... Let's look at this ball. After receiving the ball at a low post, Gan turned over and hooked the ball, and the ball entered! The score gap returned to 15 points again. This ball basically declared the Bulls' death. The Bulls called a timeout. It seemed that they were going to replace the substitute player to play garbage."

"The Blazers are still better. They suppressed the Bulls in rebounding today, 59 to 38, with 21 additional rebounds. Gan grabbed 17 rebounds alone, and he further consolidated his position in the top rebounding list."

"Yes, the main players on both sides came out one after another, and the Trail Blazers won a away game, which was the first game of their three away trips in the East, and they got a good start."

…………

The final score was frozen at 121:108, and the Trail Blazers overturned the Bulls to the ground without bloodshed.

Gan Guoyang's performance of 20 points and 17 rebounds in the game not only pulled him into 18 points per game, but also made him 16 rebounds per game, and opened two distances from Moses Malone, who was second.

"Why can you grab so many rebounds in every game? You should know that this is only your first season. You have to face many more experienced and stronger inside players. How do you grab the ball from their hands?" After the game, Gan Guoyang accepted an interview with reporters again on the sidelines. It was the last beautiful reporter. He interviewed Gan Guoyang before the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, but was choked by Gan Guoyang alone.

"First of all, I don't think there are many inside players who are stronger than me. I have absolute confidence in myself in terms of strength. I can squeeze anyone away in the three-second zone; then, I don't think rebounding requires particularly rich experience, which is different from passing and attacking. The natural sense of smell required for rebounding is like a tiger finding food, which is innate." Gan Guoyang put a towel on his head, looking like a landmine stealing.

"What do you think of Jordan? He is a rookie this year like you. You occupied the rebounding list, and he is the scoring champion now. You have also signed with the same sneaker company." The female journalist has a very high professional sensitivity.

"He is a very great player, and this is not a compliment. I dare say that he has the ability to become the greatest star in the league, the greatest, and no one. I feel honored to compete with him. Of course, our sneakers are all very handsome, but ordinary people can't understand them." Gan Guoyang did not forget to advertise his sneakers.

"Okay, thank you for accepting the interview with Mr. Gan..."

…………

After accepting the interview, Gan Guoyang was finally able to return to the locker room to rest and adjust. In fact, he was physically and mentally a little tired during this period.

Although Gan Guoyang's performance on the court has become more and more mature since the first game of the New Year, he has begun to integrate into the team better and always make the right choices on the court.

As a result, Ramsey began to value Gan Guoyang more and more, and Gan Guoyang's playing time has also increased steadily, but his data has not increased much and has been stable at the level of 1515.

The entire Trail Blazers team was also in a desperate situation, and later reached a peak. All the players were full of confidence and prepared to use a series of consecutive victories to consolidate the No. 1 position in the West and even reach the No. 1 in the League.

But then, under the influence of injuries, the team still lost and won, one game better and the other was worse. This made Gan Guoyang feel sad than losing continuously.

His performance is still stable, but he cannot fill the pit left by Van der Vicky because he may not get the ball in the fourth quarter. At the same time, each team began to defend him in a targeted manner. Gan Guoyang felt that his offense on the court became difficult.

At the beginning of the season, many teams did not know the rookie Gan Guoyang, especially Gan Guoyang is still a yellow man, so they inevitably look down on him.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang was able to play many shocking high-scoring games. At that time, as long as he wanted to take action, high scores were inevitable.

Now, most other teams in the league have fought with the Trail Blazers, and those who have never fought have started watching videos to study Gan Guoyang's technical characteristics.

Gan Guoyang is afraid of double-teaming, so he does not have a mid-shot shot. The flaws of the left hand not having a good right hand are already known, so when the opponent defends Gan Guoyang, they will try to double-team as much as possible, put the middle distance, and force Gan Guoyang to use his left hand.

In addition, Gan Guoyang is now cautious in his actions, so he has not scored for a while.

This made some media begin to question Gan Guoyang's scoring ability, and often compare him with Olajuwon, believing that Gan Guoyang may just be a powerful blue-collar insider. In comparison, Olajuwon has a beautiful turn-over jump shot and can attack in all directions without blind spots in 360 degrees.

Gan Guoyang was bathing in the locker room in a hot shower, thinking about these troublesome things, and increasingly felt that it was really not easy to really create a sky in this alliance.

Judging from the fact that Van derwich is absent and the team is unstable, Gan Guoyang is not in a real core position in the entire team, and his ability to control the team and the game is not as good as he imagined.

The Trail Blazers are not a reconstruction team, and Gan Guoyang naturally won’t be the core of the team’s training.

Of course, Gan Guoyang has never been a guy who is jealous of talented people or blames others. He always told himself in his heart that he always had to rely on his own efforts to become a real superstar.

"Gan, someone called you, it seemed to be from Nike." After Gan Guoyang took a shower, the team staff told him that he had something to say.

"OK, thanks."

"Hello."

"You are so Gan, I'm Falke. Congratulations on winning the game today. You can come to Hyde Park in Chicago's South Side tomorrow morning and I'll pick you up. Nike is going to shoot you and Jordan a sneaker advertisement. Don't worry, it won't affect your flight."

The call came by Gan Guoyang and Jordan's co-agent. He had already discussed with Nike and took advantage of the opportunity of the Trail Blazers to shoot an advertisement for the two of them.

Nike attaches great importance to the shooting of this advertisement, and the placement of this advertisement will also determine the success or failure of the entire Nike company.

Gan Guoyang knew that he would come here to shoot advertisements before coming to Chicago. He was also waiting for Nike to notify him, but he didn't expect that Falk called again.

Falke has always been elusive in Gan Guoyang's view. When he met this Jewish agent on the streets of Inglewood, he would always appear suddenly when needed to give Gan Guoyang important help.

So Gan Guoyang has always doubted whether this guy knew that he had come over time and came to help him.

However, Gan Guoyang could not find Falk to confirm. After returning to the hotel for a good rest, the next morning, Gan Guoyang came downstairs of the hotel, got into Falk's car, and headed to Hyde Park together.

"Why do you have a car in Chicago?" Gan Guoyang asked in Falke's Sylvia's car. Every time he went to a certain city, Gan Guoyang found that Falke always had a car driving.

"Since I am an agent, I naturally have connections in cities with NBA teams. It's not a problem to get a car to drive. This is Chicago boy. If I go to Portland to borrow a car, would you lend it to me?"

"No, I don't have a car." Gan Guoyang was extremely firm.

“…………”

Soon, Falk drove Gan Guoyang to Hyde Park in Chicago's South District.

The South-side of Chicago is the central area of ​​Chicago. It is the oldest and most profound area of ​​Chicago's cultural heritage - although it is a place with a long history on the Chinese map, which is longer than here.

Hyde Park is the most historical place in the South District. Of course, this place is not a "park", but the name of an area. There are a large number of 18th and 19th century buildings here, and the 1893 World Expo was also held here.

The reason why Nike set up the shooting location here is very simple, not to use the profound cultural resources here, but because one is easy to recognize here; two, it is easy to find a free shooting location without a studio...

Gan Guoyang has a good experience of the historical and cultural characteristics of the United States in Hyde Park, especially the buildings of the University of Chicago, which give people a profound and majestic feeling in the cold Chicago weather.

Then Gan Guoyang met Jordan, who had been here for a while, on a venue borrowed by Nike from the community. Then the two of them shot an advertisement tailored by Nike for the two of them. This was also Gan Guoyang's first commercial advertisement.

The content of the advertisement is very simple and there is almost no need for directors. Gan Guoyang and Jordan discussed and cooperated with each other.

The entire advertisement took only half an hour to shoot. After repeated cameras and selected the best results, the first collaboration between Gan Guoyang and Jordan ended like this.

For two opponents who had just fought on the field, this kind of business cooperation immediately made both young people feel uncomfortable.

Especially in yesterday's game, they were talking trash talk to each other. Now they looked at each other with a little weirdness. After the advertisement was finished, they were ready to go their separate ways.

At this time, some minor accidents occurred next to the venue. Because it is a community venue, the advertising shooting is also open to the public. Jordan and Gan Guoyang are both famous basketball stars, so they attracted a lot of attention.

Among them is a little boy holding his mother's hand, who looks only three or four years old, holding a shabby big basketball in his hand.

When Gan Guoyang was about to leave, the child actually threw the basketball at Gan Guoyang. Although his strength was too small, the ball could not hit Gan Guoyang at all, and he just rolled on the ground twice.

Other onlookers around laughed because Gan Guoyang defeated the Bulls yesterday and naturally became the object of hatred by Chicago fans.

"Sorry, sir, he didn't do it on purpose." The child's mother ran up and picked up the ball back and apologized to Gan Guoyang.

"It's okay." Gan Guoyang didn't care.

"Look at Gan, even a three-year-old child hates you." Jordan said on the side.

"If everyone loves me in Portland. And you are also a New Yorker, do you think New Yorker will love you?" Gan Guoyang responded.

"I will make people in the United States fall in love with me."

"Then I will make people all over the world fall in love with me!"

"The whole solar system!"

"All Milky Way!"

"The whole universe..."
