"The champion of the 1985 All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest was from the Portland Trail Blazers, Clyde Drexler!"

When the host of the slam dunk contest handed the trophy of the dunk championship to Drexler, the 6-foot-6 black boy smiled shyly. Obviously, he was not used to holding the trophy alone in front of so many people.

His eyes were a little wandering. Obviously, Drexler was looking for Gan Guoyang. At such a moment that made him happy, he really hoped that Gan Guoyang could come and share with him.

If Gan Guoyang hadn't been there, Drexler himself had a shooting creativity, probably like the dunk contest in 1984, he was eliminated in the first round.

But he looked around and did not find Gan Guoyang's familiar and recognizable yellow face in the crowded crowd. However, his teammate Van dervich and good friend Olajuwon all came to shake hands and hug him to express his congratulations.

"Hey Gan, you see Clyde is looking for you, why not go over and celebrate with him." In the corner of the venue, two people were watching Drexler in the middle of the venue applauding.

"This is Clyde's own ability. I just provided a little help, and I don't want to appear in the TV camera too much." Gan Guoyang said in response to the person next to him.

"Come on, you're already showing off today. Clyde's three most exciting dunks are all related to you. If you go up and perform a dunk now, you may not be the champion of this game." The person next to Gan Guoyang joked.

"Don't talk nonsense, Ralph, as long as I can score 40 points in my dunk, I will be successful, I dare not think about the championship!" Gan Guoyang smiled and shook his head. Letting Drexler win the championship of the dunk contest have already made Gan Guoyang take a lot of risks, so he comforted himself that Drexler's success has nothing to do with him, but he doesn't know whether this will have a fatal impact on the future and his own destiny.

"By the way, Ralph, I don't know what you think about tomorrow's game? Maybe you can get an All-Star MVP." Gan Guoyang suddenly mentioned the All-Star Game.

"Me? Don't joke, I'm not a great superstar. I guess the MVP is still Bird, Magician, Moses or Kareem. It's enough for me to play in the game."

"No Ralph, believe me, you have a chance. Those old men are no longer interested in this kind of award. As long as you perform well, I don't think it's a problem at all. You are the starting power forward in the West." Standing next to Gan Guoyang is the Rockets' 7-foot-3 power forward, Ralph Sampson.

During the Star Game, Gan Guoyang became a good friend with Olajuwon with his relationship with Drexler, and naturally established contact with Olajuwon's teammate Sampson, so during the dunk contest, these guys sat together.

Now Olajuwon has gone to the center of the venue, and Gan Guoyang is like a warlock selling Daliwan, encouraging Ralph Sampson to perform with all his strength in tomorrow's All-Star Game to win the All-Star Game MVP.

Because Gan Guoyang still remembers that the recording of the blind Chris mentioned that the MVP of the 1985 All-Star Game was Ralph Sampson!

Since Gan Guoyang has made Drexler the champion of the slam dunk contest and violated the historical trajectory, he will at least let Sampson become the All-Star MVP, otherwise he is really afraid that too much change will cause trouble.

"Anyway, the All-Star MVP is not a great award. I just want to save my character and change my regular season MVP in the future! Anyway, both are MVPs!" Gan Guoyang thought this way in his mind. In his opinion, as long as he is involved in the MVP, it will be the same.

After hearing Gan Guoyang's words, Sampson was obviously moved. Indeed, after coming to Indianapolis, Sampson also discovered that the old superstars were all in one, led by Irving, Bird, Thomas, and Magicians. They were brothers and good friends and first-tier groups.

In addition, second-tier stars such as Bernard King, Cummins, Van derwich, and rising stars such as Sampson, Jordan, Olajuwon, and Gan Guoyang are basically excluded from the core circle.

Whether second-tier stars can become All-Stars depends mainly on the team's record this year. If the team has good records, they can take advantage of the opportunity to be selected. For example, Van der Vicky can squeeze out Rolando Blackman because of the Trail Blazers' record this year.

In the original history, Van dervich was not qualified to be an All-Star.

Other rookies like Sampson are new forces in the league. They have ambitions and strength, but they do not have enough opportunities to prove themselves in the league, and they are often suppressed by old stars, both on and off the court.

If you want to become a first-line superstar, the most important thing is to rely on your strong strength and the team's real results. It is a tough practical thing, but at the same time, it also needs the support of a group of friends in the league. You must know that fame is both achieved and promoted.

However, there are also those who do not join forces or form factions, and do whatever you want to play well with peace of mind, and can also call the wind and rain in the league to admire them. Naturally, only Jabbar is the only one who is outstanding in this kind of "glorious isolation".

Sampson thought that if he could win the All-Star MVP, he wouldn't say that he would be successful, and he could still make a name for himself among these first and second-grade rookies.

He also knew that the rookies in 1984 were the first group in the NBA in the future, and of course Ralph wanted to be the leader.

"But you know the All-Star Game, you can't do it just by wanting to be an MVP. There is only one ball, and it's mainly controlled by Magic. At that time, he's still playing whatever he wants." Sampson also expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, you have to know that although the point guard is Magic, the head coach of our Trail Blazers, Jack Ramsey." Gan Guoyang said with a smile.

At this time, the award ceremony in the center of the stadium had ended, and the All-Star weekend came to an end. The people on the stadium began to disperse slowly, and the audience also left one after another.

Drexler saw Gan Guoyang standing on the sidelines and chatting with Ralph Sampson, so he ran over with the golden trophy.

Olajuwon, Sampson, Gan Guoyang, Jordan and Drexler left the court together and went to the best bar in Indiana to celebrate Drexler's dunk champion.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Gan Guoyang took a shower and went to the room next door to look for the old man Jack Ramsey.

Gan Guoyang knew that Ramsey didn't sleep much because he was old and because of his high work pressure, he often went to bed very late.

Sure enough, Ramsey came over and opened the door quickly. Seeing that it was Gan Guoyang, Ramsey's eyes were a little surprised, but he immediately let Gan Guoyang enter the door.

"What's wrong, is the celebration over? I really don't know where you came from, and you can help Clyde think of those incredible actions." Ramsey talked about the evening's dunk contest. Although Ramsey did not go to the scene to watch it, he still learned the results and some exciting shots through live TV.

"I learned these from the streets. You have to know that some dunks on the streets are much more exciting than those in the NBA." Gan Guoyang said this not all lies. On the streets of Oakland, Gan Guoyang still remembers the huge shock that the dunk of the "hook" DeMitchell leaped into the car brought to him.

"Okay, then what do you want me to talk to? I'm still very strange now. Why did you tell me that you didn't want to participate in the All-Star Game when you were playing against the Knicks that day? Then I called me and apologize for your previous words. I really can't understand what you think. Give me some good brandy." Ramsey said and poured a glass of brandy for Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang took the brandy handed over by Ramsey, took a sip, and said, "I just feel a little... a little unaccustomed, or a little scared, afraid that I will make a fool of myself in the All-Star Game, so... But I found that the All-Star Weekend was quite fun, and I met many friends, such as Akim, Ralph, and Michael. I was wondering if I could use sweet words to trick them into the Trail Blazers to play for us."

"Oh my God, don't think about it. If you can do that, Boss Weinberg will hire you as the general manager of the team and give you twice the salary now." Ramsey joked.

"If I want to do this, it will be my thing after I retire... And now, Mr. Ramsey, I think, can I give Sampson more opportunities in tomorrow's All-Star Game?" Gan Guoyang finally put forward the important matter, he wanted Sampson to play more.

"What's wrong, why do you say that suddenly? Although All-Stars are fun, I also have to consider the mood of every player's entertainment and not be too biased towards a certain person. And you actually asked me to give Sampson more opportunities. Do you want to participate in the next presidential election and be a good person like this?"

"No, no, no, the US president is not a good person. I just owe Sampson a favor. Now... I want to repay him in this way..." Gan Guoyang didn't know what to say. He couldn't say, "Let Sampson win the championship, otherwise I might be in danger."

Ramsey stood there and pondered for a while, then took a sip of brandy. It was obvious that Gan Guoyang made this request very strange, but Ramsey was not interested in why Gan Guoyang did this. On the contrary, he was thinking about other issues.

After thinking for a while, Ramsey finally raised his head and said, "It's okay, but from now on you owe me a favor. So I want to make a request to you, I don't know if you can agree."

"As long as I don't ask me to give out my Asshole, I can agree!" Gan Guoyang agreed without hesitation, and Ramsey almost sprayed out when he heard it.
