Chapter 442: The Lost Record

On April 18, 1989, the Portland Trail Blazers went to Sacramento to play away against the Kings. This is the fourth last game of the Trail Blazers this season. For them who have achieved a record of 68 wins and 10 losses, as long as they win another game, they can draw a record of 69 wins in a single season set by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1972 season, and at the same time they have hope to hit an unprecedented 70 wins.

Then, the Trail Blazers, who were trapped in the boss's racial discrimination storm, encountered Waterloo in Sacramento. In the middle of this season, it was the Sacramento Kings who began to implement targeted tactics on the Trail Blazers and achieved good results. Now facing the Trail Blazers with internal problems, the King has no mercy to become the record creator of the Trail Blazers.

Originally, Boston veteran Danny Angie became a killer. He scored 32 points in the game and scored a fatal three-pointer at a critical moment. His three-pointer was 5 of 7 shots in the game, and the Kings' three-pointer was 9 of 13 shots. To be honest, even if the Trail Blazers did not have internal problems, it would not be so easy to win.

Facing the Kings who broke out, players such as Cauchy and Williams were obviously emotional on the Blazers. Some of them were not working hard on the court. Porter and Drexler seemed quite hesitant. They wanted to play well, but it seemed that playing well at this time was a mistake. They had to do something to resist Weinberg.

However, Gan Guoyang did not slacken at all in the game. As the protagonist of the incident, he worked hard to carry the team's offense and defense alone, allowing the team to always hold on to the score with the Kings. Until the fourth quarter, some of the King's fans began to applaud Gan Guoyang, and the King's inside line was like paper in front of Gan Guoyang.

However, two fists are hard to beat four hands, Gan Guoyang, who scored 39 points and 16 rebounds in the game, still failed to stop the Kings who exploded in the team. Although in the fourth quarter, players like Drexler and Porter couldn't stand it. Gan Guoyang was fighting so hard and started to play well, but he was too far behind in front, and the Kings felt that he could not defend himself. In the end, the Trail Blazers lost to the Kings two points away, which was still one game away.

After the game, Adelman was furious in the locker room, denying the players' work and work hard. Cauchy and others said nothing, but Adelman knew in his heart that it was impossible for the boss to say such things, and not everyone was Gan Guoyang. Even Gan Guoyang, a few days after the recording time broke out, he remained silent and did not accept interviews from any media. Even Wu Zhiwen did not reveal anything, and no one knew what the Gan Guoyang gourd was sold.

However, the answer was soon revealed. On April 19, the fifth day after the Kings and the Trail Blazers' match ended, on April 19, on the fifth day after the recording incident broke out, Weinberg apologized to the United States on ESPN TV, and accepted the host's live interview, giving some explanations about the whole story. Gan Guoyang also arrived at ESPN's scene and accepted Weinberg's apology. The two hugged each other cordially, indicating that they had already resolved their past grudges - although they had no past grudges.

This broadcast can be said to have made ESPN a hit. Unlike the interview with Isaiah Thomas in CBS TV in 1987, this apology can be said to have been carefully prepared. Every detail and every issue has been carefully considered and considered. The TV station even wrote the script to ensure that it is foolproof.

Gan Guoyang and Weinberg had a scene together, giving the public an explanation. In this way, Gan Guoyang not only regained face for his skin color, but also gave Weinberg a step forward to going down, so that he would not have been embarrassed and speechless like in 1987, when Bird left, Thomas and the home player appeared in embarrassment and speechlessness. In the end, Gan Guoyang promoted ESPN to give ESPN a big chance to show his face.

As for Sterling, this guy is actually a real racist. His conversation with Weinberg is also a topic trigger. Weinberg is just a loader, but just like Rodman and Thomas in 1987, the words were Rodman and Rodman said, and his views were Rodman, and Thomas just echoed it. But he is the boss of the team, so he has to be in charge and bear the public opinion storm behind. No one cares about who Rodman is.

This time, Weinberg and Gan Guoyang are the protagonists. For a bad team like the Clippers, no one cares about Sterling discrimination against anyone, so he was able to escape the disaster. He just could not escape the first day of the lunar month or the fifteenth day. It is really possible that people would step into a river at the same time, and the punishment for Sterling's big mouth has not yet arrived.

The protagonist, who is truly hidden in the incident, and the behind-the-scenes promoter Paul Allen, was in his luxury mansion in Seattle. After watching the apology live broadcast, he kept repeating his evaluation of Gan Guoyang in his heart, "You are indeed an excellent capitalist."

An excellent capitalist should transform unfavorable factors into favorable factors, resolve conflicts, and focus on harmony. This is incompatible with the competitive players' character of "either you die or I live". The two traits are mixed with Gan Guoyang, and even Paul Allen can't guess him.

Of course, Paul Allen would not know that there were two souls hidden in Gan Guoyang's body. Although the original Gan Guoyang was replaced, his memory and personality were not completely replaced. The two personalities were mixed together to form the seemingly contradictory personality traits of Gan Guoyang now.

The storm has not completely subsided. There are two problems. One is the dispersion within the Trail Blazers. This dispersion reached its peak on August 21. He lost to the Seattle Supersonics away on the 20th. The Trail Blazers immediately returned to Portland without stopping. This is their penultimate game of the season, playing against the Los Angeles Lakers at home.

The Trail Blazers remain unbeaten against the Lakers this season. No team in the Western Conference has been able to do this in the past decade. If they win again, they will become the first Western Conference team to sweep the Lakers in a single season in the 1980s.

However, the Lakers obviously would not give the Trail Blazers such an opportunity, and the Trail Blazers were not prepared. After a few days, the players' attitudes have slowly recovered and their training has been put into the training again, but they have lost a lot of their enthusiasm. Such things have indeed caused too much damage to the team's morale.

As a result, at his home court, the Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers 110:124. All the tactics and strategies used to deal with the Lakers before were invalid. Magic Johnson won a triple-double on them. Pat Riley proudly took the Lakers away from Portland with all his might. Winning this victory means that the Trail Blazers would not be able to break the victory record set by the Lakers in 1972!

Gan Guoyang was rarely furious after the game. Unlike usual, Gan Guoyang was always the last to go back to the locker room. This time he was the first to return to the locker room. When he entered the door, he kicked the iron door on his locker. The loud noise made all the players following Gan Guoyang shrugged.

"This is the worst team in the world I have ever seen, the worst! It's fucking worse than Palo Alto East High School, because when you don't get a team, you will choose to lose when facing such a chance to set records! What's more, the opposite side is the creator of the record! This is the most shameful thing I have encountered in my life. At our home court, I missed 70 wins, and then at most equal to the Los Angeles Lakers. This is what you want? Look at what you have been in these few games, how bad is it? What the hell do you want to prove? Prove that you are amazing, prove that you can't touch it, if anyone dares to scold you, you will sit on the ground and ignore him? What kind of fuck is this! What team? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Gan Guoyang was excited and even said Fuck three times. The feeling of the entire locker room being almost overturned by him. When he stopped cursing, the entire locker room could be heard quietly falling down. Several young players who did not work hard all lowered their heads and sat there biting their fingers. The team's big brother Jones stepped forward and patted Gan Guoyang on the shoulder to express his apology.

In fact, in the past few days, no one has been under pressure than Gan Guoyang. He is in the whirlpool of the storm off the court. A large number of media have been asking, and many fans are also asking whether Gan Guoyang is leaving the Trail Blazers. Gan Guoyang withstood everything and continues to perform stably on the court. On the contrary, other players who have nothing to do have started a strike.

"I'm sorry, Gan." Cauchy was straightforward. He was the first to apologize to Gan Guoyang. Then, Williams, Drexler, Porter and others apologized to Gan Guoyang.
