After practicing alone with Moses Malone at the University of Portland for thirty rounds, Gan Guoyang and Malone left the stadium together. Both of them knew that it would be meaningless to continue practicing. It would require complete and systematic practice during the offseason so that the players' skills could be qualitatively improved.

The next day, on June 2, 1985, Gan Guoyang flew from Portland to California. He wanted to go back to the Gan family restaurant in San Francisco to visit his father Gan Youwei, his cousin, and his cousin's family.

Since entering the NBA, in addition to coming to Oakland to play against the Warriors, Gan Guoyang has almost no time to come back to San Francisco, and he misses his father very much.

However, Gan Youwei lived a very comfortable life in Chinatown in San Francisco. He is now the number one chef of the Gan family restaurant and the father of a famous NBA star. He is known to everyone on the whole street. Wherever he goes, he will call him "Uncle Gan".

Therefore, since he left Portland and returned to San Francisco at the beginning of the season, he has never returned to Portland. Anyway, Gan Guoyang flew around all day long, and he never saw his son even when he stayed in Portland.

In San Francisco, after working on weekdays, as long as you turn on the TV and turn on the sports channel, you will probably see Gan Guoyang's face, so Gan Youwei is also satisfied.

However, after all, I haven't seen my son for half a year. Knowing that his son was coming, Gan Youwei and his cousin Gan Youtang drove to San Francisco Airport early in the morning and waited for Gan Guoyang's flight to arrive.

At that time, NBA stars were not like later generations. Superstars had private planes and they were always carrying bodyguards when they went out. Most players were still similar to ordinary people. Even superstars like Magicians and Bird, wherever they went, the spotlight flashed constantly, but they would not be "sieged" by fans.

Gan Guoyang is very popular in rookies this season, and only Jordan can go along with him, especially Gan Guoyang's super strong performance in the playoffs is something Jordan cannot achieve.

But in the United States at that time, Gan Guoyang could only call him a celebrity. Although many people recognized him on the plane, most of them smiled and showed goodwill. Only a few hard-core fans asked Gan Guoyang for an autograph.

After arriving at the airport, no media rushed over to interview him. Only a few local media received the news and came over to take a few photos and ask a few questions in Gan Guoyang, but it was left alone.

"Dad!" When Gan Guoyang saw Gan Youwei standing in front of the car outside the airport, he could no longer suppress his excitement and ran towards Gan Youwei.

Gan Youwei's eyes lit up after seeing Gan Guoyang's tall figure, but he remained calm and looked at his son coming with a smile on his face.

Gan Guoyang ran to Gan Youwei and gave Gan Youwei a big hug.

This was very rare in the past. Gan Guoyang and Gan Youwei, as Chinese people, rarely express their emotions so enthusiastically, and the father and son always feel it lightly.

However, I have been in the United States for so many years. Gan Guoyang has been infected by Westerners and has begun to express his emotions more and more directly.

In comparison, Gan Youwei is still more traditional, and his emotional expression is also more implicit, but at this time, he finally saw his son, and there was a hint of tears in his eyes.

Afterwards, Gan Guoyang greeted his cousin Gan Youtang again, and the three of them got into the car and drove back to the Gan Family Restaurant.

"Dad, after you return to San Francisco, you won't come to Portland to see me. I promised that you would open a restaurant in Portland, so why are you still staying at your cousin's house and not leaving?" Gan Guoyang lowered his head and curled up in the back seat of the car, and said to Gan Youwei.

"What does it mean to be stubborn? Our Gan family restaurant cannot do without your father. I wonder how many old customers keep your father and not let him leave!" Gan Youtang immediately spoke out against what Gan Guoyang said.

"Oh, I've been staying in Chinatown in San Francisco for a long time, so I'm really reluctant to leave. I have many friends. And it's also good to be a chef at your cousin's house. If I go to Portland to open a new store, I'm really afraid that my body will not be able to bear it." Gan Youwei's cooking here is already very famous, and he has a famous son, and there are many people who come to eat with him.

If he was asked to run to a new restaurant in Portland, he would not know whether the business was good or not. All kinds of hardships and sufferings in the early stage will definitely be indispensable.

"Hey, Guoyang, you said it would be great if you came to San Francisco to play? After playing, you can still bring your teammates to the Gan Family Restaurant for dinner. It's really a killing two birds with one stone!" Gan Youtang said again.

Gan Guoyang looked at his cousin and felt that his son Gan Guohui was exactly the same as him.

"Guoyang is pretty good there now. Didn't he still make it to the All-Star? What kind of playoffs are there? It's just that there is a missing championship. Guoyang, don't be anxious, take your time, don't be depressed because you didn't win the championship. Look forward to everything, don't you win the championship in college? You'll get better in the future."

When Gan Guoyang heard this, his father even encouraged him, and found it a little funny. But when he thought about it again, it seemed that his father still remembered his depressed look after losing the high school championship, and he couldn't help but feel moved again.

Soon, Gan Guoyang returned to the familiar street and the familiar Gan Family Restaurant.

Although Gan Guoyang has been back twice during the season, he stayed there just like a skim.

Now it is completely different. He can "return his hometown" and have a good rest in the Ganjia Restaurant for a few days.

In the restaurant, Gan Guoyang was warmly welcomed, and people from some shops around him also gathered in the Gan Family Restaurant to see the Chinese basketball hero.

Gan Bingguang even cooked a large table of dishes for Gan Guoyang, and welcomed this famous celebrity from the Gan family.

In the evening, Gan Guoyang refused the invitation from his cousin to let him live at home. He decided to live with Gan Youwei in the room upstairs of the restaurant. His original small room was kept for him, and the things inside were clean.

"Guoyang, do you want to go to Mr. Nate's house?" After dinner, Gan Youwei asked, looking at Gan Guoyang who was determined to clean up the dishes.

"Oh, I've called Mr. Nate. He hasn't been in San Francisco recently. I'll visit him when he comes back. I'll go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow to watch the game." Gan Guoyang said.

The Finals moved to Los Angeles today. Starting this year, one of the reforms Stern brought to the NBA is to change the Finals system from the past 2-2-1-1-1 to 2-3-2, so the Boston Celtics will play three away games in Los Angeles next, and their current score is 1:1.

"You are going to watch the game again. You can only play by yourself, but you have to watch others play!" Gan Youwei still doesn't know where the fun of basketball is.

"By the way, Guoyang, do you want to visit the girl's parents when you go to Los Angeles? Oh, they won't dislike our family... And her father is still a Taiwanese... The conflict between the country and the Communist Party is difficult to reconcile..." Gan Youwei suddenly began to worry about the relationship between Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi. Although Gan Guoyang is a star, he is a child from a single-parent family after all.

Now that Gangzaga University has not had a holiday, after the holiday, Gan Guoyang will take Wang Fuxi to San Francisco to let his family meet him, but when he heard Gan Youwei's words, it seemed that this father was even more worried.

"Oh, don't worry, I've been to his family several times. His father is a good person. What is the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? Let's just regard it as the third cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! Besides, there is only one China in this world, regardless of mainland China or Taiwan."

"What about her mother? Her mother seems to be a foreigner, right? Your mother..." Gan Youwei said, and suddenly became silent.

Gan Guoyang saw Gan Youwei still a little disappointed, and felt unbearable, and said, "Dad~ It's okay, besides you, there are no cousins, cousins, and aunts in our family! There are more than you."

"Hey, my cousin, I probably don't have time. She flew to New York to handle the case again. Didn't she see that she didn't come to have a meal?" Gan Guohui's mother, Mr. Qian, is a woman who is even more busy than Gan Guoyang. I guess she may not have time to check her son's partner in the future.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. I'll pack up. I'll go upstairs to watch the game!" Gan Guoyang smeared the table and packed the things. He didn't want to talk about these issues with Gan Youwei anymore, so he ran upstairs to watch the live finals tonight.

"This kid, just let it go for people to watch the game by himself, but he always likes to watch others play..."

…………

Gan Guoyang lowered his head and bent down and ran back to his small room. This was indeed a small room. For Gan Guoyang, a big 6-foot-10 man, it was really too small.

But Gan Guoyang looked at every object here, but was full of memories. Gan Guoyang still remembered that when he first came to the United States, he was only about 6 feet 4 in height. He lay on this bed on the first night and was worried about his future.

Now, the bed has been lengthened, but Gan Guoyang is still quite frustrated when he lies on it.

He turned on the 17-inch TV placed on the cabinet and turned it to the CBS channel. The TV station's signal had cut to the Great Western Forum Arena, and Dick Stockton's voice came from the TV.

"...Tonight we will broadcast the third game of the 1985 NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away. This is the second time that the two teams met in the finals after last year's finals. Last year, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 4:3 and won the championship successfully. This year they are determined to defend the title; and the Lakers are going to avenge last year's one arrow. At present, the two teams have tied 1:1 in the first two games, and the third game will be very critical..."
