Until that car drove away, Gan Guoyang didn't know that the person who sat in the car to send him back was Steve Jobs, who would bring huge changes to the electronics industry in the future.

No wonder Gan Guoyang traveled through time since 2011. At that time, he had only heard of the brand "Apple" and did not use the later "arcade" iPhone.

If Gan Guohui was there, this fat man who loved electronic products would definitely recognize this legendary genius in Silicon Valley, and would also be surprised by the fact that he left Apple.

The dismissal this time was undoubtedly a major blow to Jobs, but for a genius, some ups and downs are not a tempering of a rebirth in the ashes.

Gan Guoyang just passed by a giant, and the two of them went to create great achievements in their own field.

However, Gan Guoyang’s top priority is to carry Bellman home, and it is best not to wake Mrs. Bellman up.

…………

At the end of September, Gan Guoyang and Bellman flew to Portland again, and the Trail Blazers' training camp in October was about to begin.

Unlike last year, the overall lineup structure of the Trail Blazers has not been greatly adjusted, but has only made some minor repairs, so a rookie training camp will not be held in advance like last year.

This season, the Trail Blazers have attracted three rookies, including Terry Porter, and a small forward from the University of Kansas, as well as a power forward from Portland after being selected by the Chicago Bulls, a power forward from Michigan State University, Ken Johnson.

Both players are around 6-8 to 6-9 in height, and are both more energetic young players on the front line. The arrival of these two rookies also reflects the concerns of the Trail Blazers management about their wings, hoping to increase the thickness by introducing more forward players and allow players to compete with each other.

In other positions, in the center, the Trail Blazers felt that the height was not enough last season and the substitute rotation was insufficient. Gan Guoyang took too much defensive burden alone, so the team also traded with experienced veterans, Calderwell Jones, who had 12 years of professional league experience.

No matter what kind of team, champion team or bottom-ranked football team, it is inevitable that personnel changes will occur every season.

But for Gan Guoyang, who has just entered the NBA for a year, everything is still a bit unaccustomed to. A season of fighting friendship cannot be easily diluted.

Gan Guoyang and Bellman arrived in Portland. After settling down, Bellman was ready to temporarily stay at his home in Gan Guoyang. Early the next morning, Bellman went to the headquarters in Portland to report. Gan Guoyang put on his sportswear and ran to the Jewish community training center again.

Gan Guoyang still remembers that when he went to Portland University to train on the first day, Drexler arrived at the venue before training, and then the two of them fought in the room.

But today, Drexler can no longer train with him. Yesterday, Gan Guoyang went to visit Drexler. His injury is still recovering. It is probably difficult to catch up with the preseason, so it is difficult to participate in the training camp.

When Gan Guoyang arrived at the training center, he found that a Mercedes-Benz was parked near the training hall. Among the Trail Blazers, only Van dervich likes to drive Mercedes-Benz because this guy has German ancestry.

This also greatly affected Drexler. Drexler's main brand of car purchase in the future is Mercedes-Benz.

"This guy came so early? It's unscientific. Was he infected by my diligence?" In the past, Van derwich usually didn't come to the training hall too early, and he didn't leave too early. Anyway, he was just a normal person.

Gan Guoyang walked into the training hall and greeted the managers one by one. He had heard the sound of someone training inside, and it seemed that more than one person was there.

"Shot again, speed up your shooting speed. Your shooting is too slow. In the NBA, you must shoot the ball at a faster speed. Don't stare at the basket, rely on your feelings!" Gan Guoyang changed his clothes and walked out, and heard Van dervich's voice.

When he arrived at the court, he saw Van dervich coaching a small black man shooting, the guy wearing a No. 30 jersey on his back.

"You came so early, KiKi! It was earlier than me. It turned out that I came to teach people. How much is a class for a class? I will also take one class." Gan Guoyang joked.

"A Mercedes-Benz is a class! You guy came here again. I really don't understand why you don't drive. You really can't enjoy life." Although Gan Guoyang has already got his driver's license, he really can't drive without driving.

"By the way, let me introduce you to the new players who joined us this year, Terry Porter, the young man from the University of Wisconsin... This is the big star of our team, the omnipotent Sonny Gan!" Van dervich also likes to joke with Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang ignored Van dervich and looked at the rookie that the Trail Blazers won in the draft, Terry Porter No. 30.

Like most NBA players at that time, Porter only participated in the NBA draft after graduating from his senior year, so his actual age is actually one year older than Gan Guoyang.

But in terms of seniority, Gan Guoyang has already surpassed Terry Porter. In addition, Gan Guoyang performed extremely well last season, so Porter naturally had to lower his head in front of Gan Guoyang.

However, Porter seemed very calm when he saw Gan Guoyang, neither surprised nor flattering. His face, which looked particularly old and had wrinkled together, did not have too many expressions.

He just held the ball and nodded at Gan Guoyang, without much expression.

Gan Guoyang stretched out his hand and shook hands and greeted Porter friendly.

"Hello, Mr. Porter, welcome to Portland." Gan Guoyang said.

"Hello, Mr. Gan." Potter's face fluctuated slightly, and then he ran out of the three-point line to practice shooting.

"This kid is a little cold. He lives at my house recently and the team has not arranged a place for him. But he has a talented shooting and is much better than Clyde, so I'll give him some advice." Van dervich leaned into Gan Guoyang's ear and said.

Drexler is a typical "unrepentant" shooting. No matter how the coaching staff corrects his shooting posture, this guy will always insist on using his "zombie jump shot" in the end, and Ramsey gave up treatment for him in the end.

Gan Guoyang looked at Porter, who was practicing three-pointers and two-pointers on the court, and found that his shooting posture actually had a trace of Van dervich's shadow. He shot forward, his right hand bend was moderate, and his jump was smoothly connected.

"Bang!" But his shooting percentage seems to be poor outside the three-point line. After all, the NCAA still has no three-point line. Porter is still not used to shooting at such a long distance in the NBA.

"Hey Terry, it's still early. Let's have three of us come to the game and shoot. Whoever loses, he will treat you to lunch today." Gan Guoyang suggested loudly.

"Don't be like this, don't bully the newcomers." Van dervich persuaded as Gan Guoyang was about to bully the first-grade rookie just as he was promoted to the second grade.

"Okay." Porter said briefly, without any intention of hesitation.

"Okay, KiKi, just like we usually play after training. Each person shoots 15 goals and picks the range of two steps within the three-point line."

During the entire season, Gan Guoyang never stopped shooting with Van derwich. Although he won less and lost more, he invited Van derwich to dinner, but this exercised Gan Guoyang's shooting ability.

During the Houston training camp, Gan Guoyang performed amazing shooting training every day, and mid-range jump shots in the new season may become his conventional weapon.

There was no big suspense in the result of the three-man game. Van dervich made 15 of 15 shots, Gan Guoyang made 14 of 15 shots, and Porter seemed a little nervous, with only 11 of 15 shots, and unexpectedly lost the shooting game.

"I want to eat pasta at noon, which can not only replenish energy but also not accumulate too many calories." Gan Guoyang has already started opening the menu.

Soon, other players arrived at the stadium, but there were no Tom Schaffler, Bernard Sampson, and Norris, the hero who played last season, who was cut by the Trail Blazers a few days ago.

This power forward, full of offensive passion, has since lost the opportunity to play in the NBA and went to Europe to make gold.

At the same time, the new faces among the players also appeared in front of Gan Guoyang one by one. Ken Johnson, a guy with thick big lips and thick big eyebrows, looked like a comedian.

Brian Martin, contrary to Johnson, had a miserable square face, and was as silent as Terry Porter, nodding to show kindness to the old players on the team.

Then there was the real veteran, the center forward who was several years older than Kenny Carl's information, Calderwell Jones.

Jones can be said to be an old antique in the league. He participated in the professional league in 1973, when the Trail Blazers were not yet established. At that time, he was still in the ABA, playing for the San Diego Conquers. In the 1974-75 season, he was also selected as the ABA All-Star.

After the ABA was merged into the NBA, he joined the Philadelphia 76ers and became an important substitute for the 76ers inside.

In the 1977 finals between the 76ers and the Trail Blazers, his main opponent was Bill Walton, and he eventually fell in love with the 76ers in the finals.

He then entered the finals with the 76ers twice, but lost to the Lakers.

In the end, in the shocking deal in 1983, he was packaged and sent to the Houston Rockets, and exchanged the 76ers for MVP Moses Malone, which was also the last contribution to the 76ers.

In 1984, Olajuwon came to the Rockets and formed a double tower with Sampson. Jones was no longer needed and was traded to the Bulls. Now he came to the Portland Trail Blazers - the team that once stopped him from touching the championship trophy.

Therefore, the NBA is really a magical place. The stories of turning enemies into friends and turning enemies into enemies are staged every day.

After the players arrived, the coaching staff and medical team members arrived one after another, including some staff from the management, also arrived at the training hall. After all, this training camp is a sign of the start of the new season and all staff need to be prepared.

In the coaching staff, Gan Guoyang soon saw a familiar face, put on the Trail Blazers work clothes, and Bobby Bellman standing next to Ramsey.
Chapter completed!
