Chapter 389: Sad reminder of the Heat

The Miami people's enthusiasm for basketball does seem to be quite strange. When Gan Guoyang came to the Miami Stadium, the Heat's home court, some fans began to enter the court in a sparse manner, which shows that the number of fans tonight should be quite large.

But at the same time, many people are obviously more interested in the Trail Blazers. Gan Guoyang signed the fans on the sidelines before warming up. The excitement of those Miami fans made him feel that he was in Portland rather than the South Coast.

But it’s no wonder that the biggest player on the opposite side of the Miami Heat is Rory Sparrow, a 6-foot-2 point guard who has played in New Jersey, Atlanta and New York. He averaged 10 points and 6 assists per game, and he turned out to be the Heat’s number one star!

Gan Guoyang still has a little impression of Sparoki. For Gan Guoyang, he has an impression of either a big star in the league or a difficult role player. The rest are players who were overwhelmed by him on the court. Sparo obviously belongs to the third type.

In addition to Sparrow, an eight-year veteran, and a few veteran players such as Pat Cummins and Joe Sandwald, the other nine Heat players are all new recruits, which is also a record in the entire NBA history.

Logically speaking, although such a team lacks immediate combat power, it should be full of talent and potential. But the bad thing is that the newly established Heat management draft was not ideal. At the 1988 draft, they chose Ronnie Secley, a Lebanese center from Syracuse University, and this is also the first Lebanese to enter the NBA.

Perhaps Gan Guoyang's success gave NBA teams confidence in choosing foreign players, but not every foreign center has the talent of Gan Guoyang. Secli showed good talent and learning ability in the game. As an inside player, his basic skills are very solid, his offensive and defensive skills are well-founded, and his rebounding ability is also very good.

In the first dozen games, Secley was able to score 10 points and 7 rebounds, and her performance was qualified.

But for a team like Miami, what they need most is not a well-behaved player like Secley. What they need most is talent and potential.

Of course, the quality of the draft in 1988 is indeed average. For the Miami Heat, who do not have much experience, it is even more difficult to find a baby without a high draft pick. In the next two rounds of draft picks, Miami still held multiple draft picks, but missed real potential rookies such as Vernon Maxwell, Steve Cole, and Anthony Mason.

In this way, the Miami Heat, who had nine rookies, embarked on the NBA journey. What's worse is that they were assigned to the West District on the South Coast, and were assigned to the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks. This was a disaster for the Heat.

Such a freshman team has to fly often to the Midwest Plateau region or the Texas Prairie Iron Triangle to face the ravages of several of the most difficult teams in the West. It is no surprise that the 13-game losing streak after the start of the game is 13 times.

Before the game started, Gan Guoyang heard Bellman tell him about the tragic history of the Miami Heat after the start of this season. For example, he ran to Texas to play in the Texas Triangle just at the beginning of the season, but was slaughtered by the Spurs for 24 points and 21 points by the Rockets.

Immediately afterwards, they scored an ultra-low score of 65 points against Boston. It is said that Larry Bird couldn't bear to attack in that game, so he shot 6 goals in the whole game. The Celtics rely solely on defense to strangle the Heat to death.

Gan Guoyang couldn't help feeling sad when he heard these tragic stories from the Heat. He usually doesn't pay much attention to the situation of these weak teams. He either trains or only watches the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls games every day. He really didn't expect that there were teams so miserable.

The new team Charlotte Hornets, who entered the league at the same time as the Heat, won their first victory in history in the third game, and defeated the Heat in the encounter between the two teams on November 29 to win the third victory.

In contrast, the Heat's first victory seems to be far away. Anyway, they are in danger against Portland tonight.

"Then should we bring some warmth to the cold South Coast? Anyway, we always have to lose. It's nothing to lose to such a bad team. Are you right, Mr. Bellman?" Gan Guoyang seemed to have a hint of sympathy for the Heat.

"No, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Think about it, if we lose our home advantage in the playoffs due to a regular season win or loss, we will have no place to make up for the game at that time." Bellman has always been serious and rigorous in the game. He has been struggling in the NBA for several years, and he also knows that any details on the road to winning the championship must be paid attention to.

"Okay OK, then play well and defeat them... By the way, Mr. Bellman, do you know what is the biggest single-game score difference in NBA history?"

………………………………………

Gan Guoyang has always been known for his rebelliousness in the NBA. Before the game, he often gets along with his opponents, talking and laughing. When he gets on the court, his enemies are extremely jealous. He not only has to defeat his opponents in terms of football skills, but also has to give the opponent a heavy blow in terms of spirit.

Gan Guoyang was thinking about bringing warmth to the Miami Heat. When he got on the court, Gan Guoyang had already begun to think about whether to create the biggest score difference in NBA history.

Before the 1989 season, the biggest score difference in NBA regular season history was created by the Bucks when they played against the Kings in 1985, when the Bucks slaughtered the Kings at 140:82.

To defeat the opponent with such a big score, not only does it require one's own state to be in a very good state, but it also requires a sense of cruelty. After all, the meaning of the competitive competition that has been lost in such a score is just a pure massacre.

Although Gan Guoyang asked Bellman about "the biggest single-game score difference in history", he did not really want to create such a massacre, but the progress of the game was beyond Gan Guoyang's expectations.

In the first quarter, the Miami Heat were able to compete with the Trail Blazers. With the momentum at home, they withstood the Trail Blazers' fast break and relied on the rush of young players to start tangling with the Trail Blazers.

Gan Guoyang has been playing tepid, and he really can't be very energetic when facing the Heat. In the face of these new recruits, Gan Guoyang didn't even have the desire to squirt about trash. Lebanese center Secli, who was against him, was not a noisy guy, and Gan Guoyang was too lazy to teach him a lesson.

So Gan Guoyang began to try to practice mid- and long shots from the outside. He threw two three-pointers and two mid-range shots in the first quarter, but only made one mid-range shot and scored only two points.

But then, Miami's rookie power forward Grant Long, after missing another mid-range shot in Gan Guoyang, said "Booshit" to Gan Guoyang, which caused a bloody storm.

"What-fuck-you-sad? (What the hell do you say?)" Gan Guoyang said to Long when he returned to the backcourt. At this time, Sabonis had also been on the court, and Gan Guoyang came to the power forward to play against Long.

"Your shooting is a piece of shit!" Long was young and vigorous, and he directly fought with Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang didn't say much, but he knew that he had finally had a small goal in this game.

"Holy-Shit (Damn it)... Long is going to be finished." Sparrow saw the dispute between Gan Guoyang and Long. As a veteran who has played in the NBA for many years, he knew several players. If you don't have enough strength or need, don't mess with him casually. One is Bird, one is Jordan, one is Ranbir, and the other is Gan Guoyang.

Of course, there is another exception to Charles Barkley. If you don’t provoke him, he will also provoke you. Among the most difficult players in the league, the others are counted as one, and Charles Barkley has to be ranked one separately.

Long's lesson came quickly. He tried to go to the outside to make a pick-and-roll for his teammates. Sparro relied on Long's pick-and-roll to cut into 45 degrees from the side, but Sparro did not dare to pass it back to Long because he knew that it would be bad if the ball was passed.

Long tried to cut inward after pick-and-roll, but he found that he was completely blocked by Gan Guoyang's inward cutting route. Gan Guoyang pushed his butt and his hands were backward, and thus stuck Long in the position of the horn position.

Long also tried to compete with Gan Guoyang and fiddle with Gan Guoyang. Who knew that Gan Guoyang was still motionless, and Ren Long couldn't squeeze it out no matter how hard it was. Gan Guoyang's position was as solid as a rock.

As the Heat missed a jump shot from the outside, Gan Guoyang took a step forward and easily grabbed the rebound.

After getting the rebound, Gan Guoyang did not launch a fast break, but slowly handed the ball to Porter. Porter understood it and knew that Gan Guoyang wanted to teach this newcomer a lesson.

However, Gan Guoyang did not get into the low position. Perhaps it was really meaningless for him to crush Long at the low position. Sabonis was on the court. After Gan Guoyang landed 45 degrees on the left, he relied on the cover of Sabonis and Cauchy to make a large-scale run inward along the bottom line, running from the left to the bottom corner on the right.

Porter had long seen Gan Guoyang's running position and passed the ball directly to Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang ran out of a big open position after getting the ball, because the Heat's defense was too unsystematic, and a simple slip of the bottom line began to leak people.

But Gan Guoyang did not shoot, but paused for a moment, waiting for Long to make up for the position, and then said, "This is a gift for you."
