1984 may be one of the most important turning years in the history of human beings in the 20th century and in the modern and contemporary Chinese history. At least in the sports world, later history proved that this year was extremely critical.

In January 1984, Apple launched the epoch-making Macintosh computer, and the development of computers entered a new era; Deng Gong went to the south and proposed the theory of market economy, and China's development also entered a new era.

In February 1984, Soviet General Secretary Andropov died, another Soviet supreme leader who died in two years, which also heralded a huge storm about to come to the Red Empire.

In March 1984, the Gonzaga Bulldog won the NCAA championship, which may be a very inconspicuous event in world history, but only the MOP of the season understood that this may be a key step in changing history.

In April 1984, China won the battle of Laoshan. This seemed to be just an ordinary local defense battle, but it created a stable environment for the rapid development of the southern region after China.

In May 1984, the Soviet Union announced a boycott of this year's Los Angeles Olympics in response to the resistance of Chinese and Western countries to the Soviet Union at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. However, China participated in this Olympics, and this was China's first time participating in the Olympics;

In the same month, in the NBA draft pick, the last Houston Rockets in the West in the 1983 season and the Portland Trail Blazers, who won the 1984 Indiana Pacers draft pick, competed for the first-round draft pick, that is, the No. 1 pick, by throwing coins.

For Houstonians, they are extremely eager to get another No. 1 pick so that they can keep the local Houston basketball heroes here and form a double tower with the No. 1 pick in 1983.

For Portlanders, it would be better to get the No. 1 pick, but more people think it doesn't matter if they get the No. 1 pick. In this way, the legendary boy from Washington State can continue to stay in the northwest land, and the Trail Blazers need a second Bill Walton.

For other teams, even if they can't get these two giants destined to become superstars, this year's draft is still a sumptuous meal, with countless delicious newcomers waiting for them to choose.

In the end, in this game where coins determine their destiny, the God of History still stubbornly let the wheels stay on the original track, and the Houston Rockets won the fourth No. 1 pick in their history, which was also their first pick for two consecutive years.

This situation also led to the introduction of the lottery system in the 1985 NBA draft to prevent some teams from playing badly in order to get the No. 1 pick.

The person who changed this old system and determined the new system was the new NBA president, David Stern, who replaced the previous president Larry O'Brien and became the fourth NBA president.

From this year on, the NBA championship trophy was also replaced, becoming the later known Larry O'Brien Cup.

And those rookies who shook hands with Stern at Madison Stadium in New York will also open up their golden age with the new president.

Among them, there is a yellow-skinned and dark-haired player who attracted the attention of the whole United States because he is not only the first yellow player to enter the NBA, but also the highest-ranking foreign player.

Although his results in the draft had long been a foregone conclusion, the real result still shocked the whole of the United States.

The first foreign players to enter the NBA were D'Antoni of Italy (later the coach of the Suns), Knight of the Netherlands and Charles of Trinidad and Tobago, but they can only be considered marginal players in the NBA. Like this second-tier show, the first one caused a huge shock before entering the league.

And his appearance was so sudden that it suddenly occupied the front pages of major sports magazines in almost half a year. The most commonly used picture was on the court in the center of Seattle's dome, in a sea of ​​people, a player wearing a Gonzaga jersey hugged a girl wearing a pink hat, which became an indelible classic picture in NCAA history.

However, the draft is just one aspect of the NBA's injecting new vitality. After Stern took over the major league, he felt the huge problems it has and the great challenges it faced.

To this end, the NBA has made many reforms in the summer.

Among them, the more important points are, such as the first round of the playoffs is changed to a 5-inning 3-win system, the finals are changed to a 2-3-2 competition system, the next year's draft is changed to a lottery system, the All-Star system is introduced during the season, and the salary cap system is introduced in the players' salary.

This series of reforms will prove to be a very important decision in the future. These reforms will truly change the NBA, drag it out of the quagmire, and appear in front of fans in a shining image.

However, this summer, these targeted reform measures are still brewing quietly, and it is not yet time for them to work.

In June 1984, the World Olympic Paralympic Games played in Los Angeles as a prelude to the Olympics. During the competition, Chinese disabled athlete Ping Yali won the gold medal in the long jump and became the first Chinese disabled athlete to win the Olympic gold medal.

This also indicates that China will definitely make some achievements at the 1984 Olympic Games.

On July 28, 1984, the 23rd Olympic Games finally officially opened at the Memorial Stadium in Los Angeles, the West Coast city of the United States.

In this white stadium full of ancient Greek flavor, next to the Olympic torch set up in the main stands, there is a huge electronic screen.

Through this screen, the audience sitting in the distance can also see important shots and close-ups throughout the stadium.

When the current US President Ronald Reagan appeared on the big screen and said, "I announced that the 23rd Los Angeles Olympics will be open now", the entire venue was in a state of jubilation, and the bands on the scene also played the Olympic song.

The former California governor also became the first U.S. leader to attend the opening ceremony in person.

"Why is the speech of the presidential opening ceremony of the United States so old-fashioned? I thought there would be some new tricks." A viewer wearing a baseball cap said in a corner of the audience seat at the venue.

"You seem to have seen the speech of the Chinese leader." The audience next to him, who was also wearing a baseball cap, replied.

These two guys are Wang Fuxi and Gan Guoyang who went to Los Angeles to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Wang Fuxi usually likes to wear a baseball cap, but Gan Guoyang has to wear a hat. Now he is a celebrity.

"I originally... I've seen the opening ceremony of our county sports meeting. This is how the county leaders delivered a speech, saying 'Geese smoked cloth, the ground two can dizzy east meeting, and the west will start to wipe it'!" Gan Guoyang learned to say with a look of nowhere.

"What are you saying... I can't even understand, so I'm not allowed to speak your dialect!" Wang Fuxi hates Gan Guoyang's dialect when speaking Chinese.

"Oh, that's to say, 'I announce that the second county athlete will open now'! Anyway, these leaders have all adjusted the telescope. Give me a telescope and let me see it." Gan Guoyang wanted to take the telescope from Wang Fuxi's hand. Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi sat in a position that was in a biased position after all, and the situation on the field was not clear enough.

"No, do you want to take it to see the beauty? There is no door." Wang Fuxi was very jealous.

"No, I want to see the Chinese athletes! They were walking too fast just now, I didn't see clearly, let me see." The athlete's entrance ceremony has ended. When Chinese athletes entered the venue, Gan Guoyang's neck was really stretched longer than a goose.

At that moment, this young Chinese guy from the future felt a feeling of tears when he saw Chinese athletes on the sports field in the United States.

"What are the good things about Chinese athletes? You don't know each other." Wang Fuxi said with a pout.

"Who said I don't know you? I know Xu Haifeng and Li Ning." Gan Guoyang was dissatisfied. As a sports fan, he was impressed by China's debut at the 1984 Olympics.

"Who is Xu Haifeng? I seem to have heard of Li Ning." Wang Fuxi asked curiously.

"You don't understand, let me see, China will rely on him to win the first gold medal!" Gan Guoyang suddenly discovered that this problem could not be explained in detail, so he could only fool it in one sentence, snatched the telescope and started looking for the Chinese team in the team.

Soon he found the five-star red flag of China in a national flag and the tall flag bearer holding the flagpole.

The flag bearers of all Chinese Olympic Games have always been tall and mighty basketball players. From Liu Yudong to Yao Ming later, they were all top figures in the Chinese sports team.

This year, the first time in Chinese history to participate in the Olympics, the flag bearer is the main striker of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wang Libin.

"What would it be if I could be the flag bearer of the Chinese team?" This thought suddenly appeared in Gan Guoyang's mind.

But he thought about it again that according to China's openness at that time and bureaucratic style, with his experience in playing in the United States, even if he has always been a Chinese nationality, it would be difficult to represent China in the Olympics.

And now he has entered the NBA and has become a professional player. According to the regulations of the Olympic Games before 1992, professional basketball players cannot participate in the Olympic Games.

In this way, Gan Guoyang's idea of ​​participating in the Olympics is far away.

Gan Guoyang's thoughts suddenly drifted a little far away. He thought of the future NBA days, the draft at Madison Garden Square, the trial in Portland, and the unforgettable finals.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked at the faces in the Chinese team that were about to be known to the Chinese people in the telescope, and a strong sense of fate suddenly arose in his heart.

"I still couldn't escape the clutches of Portland." Gan Guoyang thought of his trial in Portland and when he heard Stern recite "The-Portland-Trail Blazers-select-Sunny-Gump-from-Gonzaga-University!" at the draft, his heart was mixed.

He did not expect that his battle with Sam Bowie in the semi-finals changed the fate of the two people being selected. In the end, Sam Bowie fell to the sixth pick and was selected by Washington Bullets.

Of course, Washington Bullet did not expect that at this historical intersection that could have escaped the fate of being pitted, Washington chose to jump from one pit to another.

Stockton was selected by the Atlanta Hawks at No. 11, but the Utah Jazz picked up Kevin Willis at the 16th pick - he was the direct victim of the gibbon Gan Guoyang.

Later, the Utah Jazz exchanged Kevin Willis and a future first-round pick and some first-time King for Atlanta Stockton and veteran center Billy Balz.

Stockton also failed to escape the arrangement of his established destiny and embarked on a long journey on the snowy plateau.

But for Gan Guoyang, the fate of others seems to be still following the established trajectory, but what about him? He came to the tomb of the center, a curse land!

When he thought of this, Gan Guoyang immediately lost the intention of watching literary and artistic performances, although his trial in Portland and the enthusiasm of local fans made him moved.

"Look, it's the holy fire!" Wang Fuxi suddenly shouted, more than an hour of literary performance had ended, and the holy fire entered the stadium.

A girl entered the Memorial Stadium with a flame on her shoulders - she was the granddaughter of the late passer Jesse Owens. After several passes, the flame reached the hands of a black athlete in white sportswear, La Johnson, a famous American track and field athlete.

Finally, he ran to the main torch tower, lit the five-ring ignition channel under the torch tower, igniting the torch tower at the highest point of the stadium, and the raging flames burned with the cheers of the audience, and the grand opening performance officially began!

"Forrest Gump, what game will I go to see tomorrow?" Wang Fuxi asked from the side.

"Shooting competition!" Gan Guoyang blurted out, wanting to witness the historic moment of Xu Haifeng's victory.

"Is the shooting competition good?" Wang Fuxi didn't know much about other sports except basketball.

"Shoot or..." Gan Guoyang suddenly thought, if he went to the shooting range and interfered with Xu Haifeng's performance, wouldn't he be too guilty?

Shooting exercises are a very test of the athlete's psychological state, and any slight interference will change the final result.

"Forrest Gump, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about the matter with the Trail Blazers?" Wang Fuxi thought Gan Guoyang was thinking about signing with the Trail Blazers.

"Ah, no, I'm wondering what's good about the shooting competition?" Gan Guoyang said lightly, but Wang Fuxi did hit his mind.

"Forrest Gump, although you are very powerful, the conditions you have given to the Trail Blazers are too... Anyway, I have never seen anyone give such conditions." Wang Fuxi said with his arms around Gan Guoyang.

"You don't understand... Anyway, my condition is very important!" Gan Guoyang said.

"But... when you raise your conditions, a group of people in other teams will be unemployed. How bad is this."

It turned out that Gan Guoyang proposed to sign the Trail Blazers that the Portland medical team must be replaced and replaced by a candidate that Gan Guoyang is satisfied with.

This is really incredible in the history of the NBA. Not to mention that rookies put forward such conditions, even those famous superstars only put forward conditions in terms of the amount of money and the contract years when they are nearby. No one said they would require a team doctor to change.

But Gan Guoyang was extremely persistent in this, and he didn't care about other conditions, and it didn't matter whether there was no welfare.

So at the end of July, he went to Los Angeles to accompany Wang Fuxi to watch the Olympics. In August, he would go back to Portland. On the one hand, he would participate in Portland training camp, and on the other hand, he would complete two signings.

"Hmph, I just don't like that Shui Miao anyway! I'm so old and still won't get married!" Wang Fuxi suddenly said angrily.

“Uh, but…”
Chapter completed!
