"…Larry, face, fade-away…get-it!He-got-it!(Larry, turn, fall back shot...the ball went in! He shot!)"

Gan Guoyang sat on the sofa in the training hall, watching the video repeatedly. The video recorder played the scene of Bird tilting down the Trail Blazers at the Boston Garden Arena.

"Hey, Gan, are you still watching? You have been watching for a long time. No matter how much you look at it, you won't win this game."

"It's okay Clyde, I'll leave later, or you can go first."

"Okay... By the way, I forgot to tell you that the All-Star voting results have come out. You are the Western Conference's substitute center. You squeezed Sigma down. Congratulations."

"Thanks……"

Drexler left the training hall, leaving Gan Guoyang alone to stay in the video room, staring at the flashing fluorescent screen in a daze.

After being defeated by Bird's magical kill in Garden Square, the Trail Blazers made a little rectification and returned to Portland to continue to face the Los Angeles Lakers. They competed with the two top teams in the league for two consecutive games, which put the Trail Blazers under a huge test.

In Portland, they seemed unable to quickly get out of the depressed decline of losing one point to Boston, and were massacred by the Lakers in the Memorial Stadium, losing 106 to 122.

Later, in successive matches with the Bucks, Spurs, Warriors and Jazz, the Trail Blazers also won and lost, but failed to continue their indomitable momentum on the first day of the year.

The one who performed the most in a sluggish manner should be Gan Guoyang. His condition began to fluctuate after the game against the Celtics. His offense was good and bad. The key was that his most stable defense would actually have loopholes.

According to common sense, it is very normal for a rookie to have such a situation in the middle and late stages of the season, that is, before the All-Star Game, because now is the most fierce competition in the league, and all teams are fighting to enter the playoffs.

Once the All-Star Game is over, it means that the regular season has entered the final stage and each team will make the final sprint.

Therefore, the players, coaches and staff of the Trail Blazers all expressed their understanding of Gan Guoyang's downturn and kept encouraging him, hoping that he could get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

But only Gan Guoyang himself knows that things are far from that simple.

As a non-senior fan in later generations, Gan Guoyang knew very little about the situation in the NBA in the 1980s, so he didn't have any special feeling when he came to this time and space to play with the stars of this era.

He thought that if he was reborn until 1993 and then started playing NBA in 1996, he would have known a lot more stars.

However, he has heard of Larry Bird's name. He has also watched a lot of Larry Bird's videos. He has also deeply realized the extraordinary strength of Larry Bird's game against Boston.

Losing to Bird is not unacceptable, but the problem lies in the last goal.

Bird's final victory this time was a famous name in history, and it appeared repeatedly in various Bird videos in later generations. Therefore, Gan Guoyang once saw this final victory, and it was firmly imprinted in his mind.

Just when Bird received the ball and was about to shoot in that game, the scene of Bird shooting in Gan Guoyang's mind flashed through his mind. At that time, the people of Gan Guoyang were approaching the three-second zone.

When he thought of this ball, he immediately wanted to rush up to interfere with Bird, but he found that he could not move!

In other words, at that moment, Gan Guoyang's body was no longer controlled by his brain. He wanted to block it, but he could only watch Bird shoot into the final shot, and then he watched Bird accept the cheers of the fans on the scene with a calm look on his face, leaving the stadium quietly like nothing happened.

As soon as the game ended, Gan Guoyang's body left and was able to act again. In other words, Gan Guoyang was controlled by some unknown force at the moment when he could change history and did not give him the opportunity to change history.

Gan Guoyang was confused now. He didn't say a word on the way back to Portland, just thinking about this matter. His teammates thought that Gan Guoyang had not come out of his failure quickly.

There is one thing Gan Guoyang is very sure, that is, after he comes to this time and space, he can change history.

For example, let Gonzaga University win the NCAA championship, let Ewing's Georgetown return in a bad way, snatch Sam Bowie's second place, and change the fate of the Portland Trail Blazers.

But Gan Guoyang also knew that many things he had not changed. For example, Olajuwon was still the No. 1 pick in 1984, Stockton finally went around and went to the Utah Jazz.

Now after experiencing the last two seconds of Boston, what Gan Guoyang is most worried about is whether history has a boundary. Some things can be changed, while some things cannot.

As long as he touches those things that cannot be done, he will be hindered by some unknown forces, and may even be controlled by some forces to do things that can change history.

This speculation has become a lingering nightmare that Gan Guoyang has been lingering recently. The most important thing is that no one can tell him. Drexler cannot do it, Ramsey cannot do it, and Wang Fuxi cannot do it.

He could only think and experiment on his own.

Therefore, he tried his best to search for the few memories of the NBA in the 1980s in his mind, and then brought them into the competitions he had made to analyze.

There is one thing Gan Guoyang knows that the current pioneers are definitely different from those in history, so the results of many competitions must have been changed. What he cares about is that those competitions have not been changed.

So, watching videos after the game became his must-do homework every day. From the first game of the season with the Kansas Kings, he finally discovered some problems with him.

For example, in the three-overtime battle with Phoenix Suns, the Trail Blazers could clearly solve the opponent in regular time, but in that game, Gan Guoyang always made some mistakes in the last moment, and some extremely inconspicuous mistakes.

It was like when competing for the ball, the three of them snatched each other, the Trail Blazers and the Suns were one, but the Trail Blazers collided, allowing the Suns players to grab the ball.

For example, Gan Guoyang chose to double-team to break through the people and put the three-point line in defense. This is actually the right choice, but the Suns players can actually hit three-pointers, which is unexpected.

Of course, the Trail Blazers finally won the game and relied on Gan Guoyang's key goal. This is inconsistent with the historical situation. The real history is that the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers in three-overtime.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang did not care about those small mistakes at all. This kind of mistake was normal in the game. It was not even a mistake, and it could only be called "life".

But in this game with the Celtics, this "control" was revealed, which made Gan Guoyang unable to move in the same place, and Gan Guoyang knew that the real history was like this, which made Gan Guoyang understand that there must be a problem.

But where is the problem?

No matter how he thought about it, Gan Guoyang was puzzled. In fact, it was already an incredible and understandable thing for him to travel to this time and space at once. For his identity as a time traveler who no one could ever tell, Gan Guoyang was depressed for many years.

Now, there is a more difficult logic about the logic of "Can time travelers change history?", and Gan Guoyang's thinking about it will naturally be fruitless.

Not only was there no result, this kind of hard thinking and fear of unknown power also affected Gan Guoyang's condition, causing him to perform abnormally in many consecutive games.

In this regard, Gan Guoyang even thought that this was the result of unknown strength, which made him perform poorly in the game, causing the Trail Blazers to lose more games and return to normal rankings.

This thought tortures Gan Guoyang all the time, making Gan Guoyang, who was originally devoted to basketball, begin to doubt himself and doubt what he had experienced. Whether all this was a cosmic scam directed by someone, and he was just an ignorant actor.

On February 6, Drexler told Gan Guoyang that a news did not make Gan Guoyang happy, but became worried again.

Gan Guoyang squeezed out Supersonic center Jack Sigma from the All-Star lineup voted by fans and became the Western Conference substitute All-Star center back then.

This means that Gan Guoyang must have changed history, and Sigma's record of being selected as the All-Star 7 times will definitely be lost once.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Indianapolis on February 10th, with only 4 days left before this star feast, but Gan Guoyang was not excited at all.

"If my fate was decided from the beginning, what's the point of making these efforts? Or, such efforts are also part of my fate?" Gan Guoyang was still sitting in the video hall thinking hard.

"Hey Gan, it's already late. The training hall is about to close. Let's go back." The staff in the training hall came to urge Gan Guoyang. He has been staying here for too long.

"Okay, I understand." Gan Guoyang knew that even if he thought about it, there would be no result.

After leaving the training hall, Gan Guoyang looked at the parking car outside the training hall, thinking about whether he wanted to drive back.

Originally, when Gan Youwei and Wang Fuxi were not around, he threw the car at home without using it. But last night, Koxi borrowed Gan Guoyang's car and used it once, then stopped at the training hall, and then prepared to drive back to Gan Guoyang's home with Gan Guoyang in the evening.

However, Gan Guoyang had been in the training hall for too long, and Cauchy couldn't wait, so he had to leave first and return the key to Gan Guoyang.

Now Gan Guoyang is hesitating with the car key. He has never wanted to drive before because he is not very good at driving. Although he is still driving well under the guidance of Wang Fuxi several times, he does not have a driver's license after all.

But tonight, Gan Guoyang had a very strong impulse to drive back.

"It's still late anyway. There are not many cars in Portland at night, so why not drive back, just drive it, just so I can practice it." Driven by this idea, Gan Guoyang got in the car, inserted the key, and started the car.

"Huh, it's not that difficult to drive. No wonder my dad can learn it easily." Gan Guoyang slowly got on the road and started driving carefully.

There are cars on the road, but not too many, so it is not difficult for him to drive. In addition, he has practiced several times before, but he still feels decent when driving.

As the home of Gan Guoyang is getting closer and closer, there are fewer and fewer cars on the road. Gan Guoyang relaxes unknowingly, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

There is a big downhill near the Gan Guoyang home. People who drive here will be careful because their vision is poor when crossing the slope.

But Gan Guoyang has no experience. When he went downhill, he directly put the gears in neutral gear and wanted to rely on the brakes to brake. He didn't know that the car should rely on the engine gears to brake when going downhill.

On the section where he was just downhill, the lights of the car could not shine below. When the car started to go down and the lights shone on the road, Gan Guoyang was shocked and found that there was a person lying on the ground!

The car without engine braking was sliding downwards, and Gan Guoyang hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but he had no knowledge and experience in dealing with emergency situations. While stepping on the brakes, he also turned the steering wheel hard, which was very dangerous for a downhill car.

"Bang!" The car driven by Gan Guoyang has undergone special transformation and its structure is not stable. As a result, under such sudden brakes and large steering, the car overturned.

Gan Guoyang felt that he was being kicked in an iron box. He thought to himself that he was dead now.

But soon, the car overturned the side of the road and stopped moving and was stuck by a tree.

Gan Guoyang stayed in the car for a few seconds and found that he should not have any big problems because the car speed was not fast enough. At the same time, his seat belt was tied up and the airbag was also opened. Therefore, he should be unscathed except for a little scratch.

Gan Guoyang struggled to get out of the car. He looked around, because it belonged to a residential community of rich people, and there were very few people. At the same time, it was too late to see it for those who had not passed by.

Although the car overturned, it fell on the grass and did not make a loud noise, and did not disturb the nearby residents.

"Who is that guy? How could he fall in the middle of the road?" Gan Guoyang immediately remembered the person he saw lying in the middle of the road, and he immediately ran over to look.

The man was still lying on the slope, but he shouldn't be pushed by the car.

"Hey, hello? Hello, man?" Gan Guoyang slowly approached the man. He doubted whether this guy was dead. Could it be that he was beaten to death by the gang and threw him on the side of the road?

When he approached this man, Gan Guoyang discovered that this was a white middle-aged man wearing a red and blue plaid shirt. In places like Portland, he was frozen to death without being crushed on the road.

"Hey, are you okay?" Gan Guoyang squatted down and pushed him. He found that the person still had body temperature, and he felt his heartbeat even after he felt it carefully.

Gan Guoyang shook him hard a few more times, thinking whether he would call the police.

At this time, the person lying on the road suddenly moved, and at the same time he turned over and lay directly on the ground.

When Gan Guoyang saw the face of the middle-aged man, he was even more shocked. This man looked normal, but he had two big scars on his eyes!

Looking for this situation, this guy should be a blind man!

"What the hell is going on? How could a blind man run here?" Gan Guoyang didn't understand why a blind man lies in the middle of the road and commit suicide in the middle of the night?

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you?"

Gan Guoyang called him a few more times, and the blind man slowly woke up, then sat on the ground, still looking confused.

"Let's leave here first, don't stay in the middle of the road." Gan Guoyang stepped forward and helped the blind man up and took him out of the middle of the downhill.

"Where is this?" the blind man began to ask.

"Western District, this is the West District."
