Chapter 298: The Strongest Season

"What do you think of the young players' performance in this game? Several new players performed well in this game, and sophomore Colt contributed the final win, and his performance in this game was also very, very good."

"Oh, yes, the young people on our team are very distinctive. Although their talents are not top-notch - of course, except for our center, they have distinct characteristics and a spirit of daring to fight on the field, which makes me feel commendable."

"Then will they get more opportunities to play in this game?"

"It's possible that I will also look at their subsequent performance, but I believe they will grow into excellent players soon, and I won't be surprised if someone becomes the main player of the team."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Ramsey, thank you for accepting our interview..."

After the game between the Trail Blazers and the Hawks, Ramsey was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. In this game, Ramsey decisively activated the substitute freshman in the bench and stabilized the situation on the court.

Although Cort's goal in the end was an unpredictable stroke, Ramsey replaced Cort and was sent off because Valentine was sent off, but this could not conceal Ramsey's achievements in planning this game.

Just when Ramsey was interviewing, the Trail Blazers players had already surrounded Corte, who had successfully won the final victory, and went back to the locker room to take a shower.

Along the way, Gan Guoyang also took the lead in shouting "Great-Steve". In the player channel, they sent Corte into the locker room as if they were supporting the king.

The Trail Blazers' locker room has not been so lively for a long time. I have to say that victory is the best catalyst for a team. As long as you can win, especially this way of winning, all kinds of contradictions will temporarily disappear.

"Hey, Great-Steve, what do you think after the final victory is successful? Do you want to thank your dad and mom?" After Gan Guoyang ran to the locker room, he took out a magazine and rolled it into a microphone, and began to simulate a reporter interviewing Corte who was changing clothes.

When Corte saw Gan Guoyang like this, he grinned and said to Gan Guoyang's microphone, "I want to thank my mother for raising me, allowing me to receive education and embark on this path; I also want to thank Gan, he brought me back to the right track."

"Steve! Is Gan your dad?" Jerome Cauchy shouted after hearing Corte's words. Corte did not mention his dad, because like most black players, Corte was born in a single-parent family.

"If I were Corte's father, then you would call me grandpa!" Gan Guoyang replied to Cauchy.

It is really not easy to win six consecutive games after losing six consecutive games and win two away games at the same time.

After experiencing a period of chaos, the team finally slowly got back on track due to Gan Guoyang's persistence and Ramsey's return.

Gan Guoyang fully realized the joy after victory. It was because this joy was too charming that he hated failure so much.

………………………………………

At night, before leaving Atlanta for the next competition site, the entire Trail Blazers ran to the famous local bar and nightclub to relax, but three people remained in the hotel and did not go out.

Gan Guoyang still doesn’t like to go to nightclub bars, especially black bars. No matter how famous Gan Guoyang is, he is still out of place in the black cultural circle.

The other two are Van der Witch and Drexler. Both of them stayed in the hotel for treatment due to injuries.

Drexler made a comeback against Atlanta, but he only played for 23 minutes and scored 10 points.

His injury has improved at present, and he will get more playing time in the next game.

Van derwich's situation was worse. He performed well at critical moments in the evening game, but after the game he felt something was wrong with his ankle. After Dr. Cook's examination, it was initially determined that it was an ankle injury and it might take about two weeks to rest. The specific situation had to be confirmed after returning to Portland.

The three of them were idle and ignored them, and Ramsey was even more impossible to go out, so the four of them could just make up a table of mahjong.

Gan Guoyang originally wanted to teach his teammates to play mahjong, but he found that this thing was too much fun, so he did not teach China's national skills.

So the four of them started playing cards in the room where Ramsey lived.

This is also the most important players on the team. For the first time this season, all the topics that have not been touched in the past are naturally put on the table.

The first to talk about it was Ramsey, who said: "This will be my last season with the Trail Blazers. I wonder what you all have to plan?"

This is the first time that Ramsey will leave the Trail Blazers next season. I really said that, although everyone has already known this.

The three of them didn't know what to say for a while, but after a while, Van dervich spoke.

"Maybe, so do I, even earlier."

Now everyone has started talking, and Ramsey and Van derwich both think this will be their last season with the Trail Blazers.

"I still remember when I first arrived at the Trail Blazers, last season, and I thought Coach Ramsey would be the most suitable coach for me. If he was to leave, I think I would leave too." Van dervich added, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.

Of course Gan Guoyang didn't believe it. He still remembered what Van dervic said to him when he was training after training. Gan Guoyang smiled and replied: "Come on KiKi, would you follow Coach Ramsey to another team? It is said that Mr. Ramsey is going to go back to university to coach - or the women's basketball team."

"Shut up your stinky mouth, I'll stay here if the Trail Blazers are willing to give me a contract of one million and a half years." Van dervich looked a little angry.

"Average annual average of 1.5 million... Oh my God, did this 1.5 million make our elegant fast gunner KiKi lose his demeanor? And I don't think that cunning guy Inman would give me 1.5 million." Gan Guoyang knew that Van dervich was taking the contract signed in the Nuggets to the Trail Blazers, whose contract expired this season.

However, the Trail Blazers never renewed their contract with Van dervich. Inman's reason was that the Trail Blazers wanted to save the money and directly gave Gan Guoyang a big cake.

Of course, for various reasons, Gan Guoyang rejected Inman's proposal for a long contract in the first negotiation, and the number negotiated at that time was not 1.5 million. I wonder why it became this number when it arrived at Van dervich.

"One.5 million... Oh my God, Bird only has one.8 million." Deluxler was still a little shocked when he heard this number. His salary this year was only 420,000.

"Don't listen to him nonsense. Even if Inman gives me a contract of 1.5 million yuan in annual salary, I don't want to sign it. I will let him save money and sign a contract with KiKi." Gan Guoyang played a card and said.

"Don't joke, no one can't get along with the money. And I think you are worth the price, I don't want to get a share with you. Everyone in this league relies on their own abilities to make a living. If the Trail Blazers are unwilling to open a big contract for me, then I can work for other teams. It's nothing, the business league, we are all workers. Only when you stand on the court and make a final shot, you will think you are a hero. Once the game is over, you are an employee under the boss. The responsibility is to stage a reality show with other employees in various theaters every night, that's all." Van dervich said and played a card.

Gan Guoyang knew that Van der Witz's words really make sense. The longer he stayed in the NBA, the stronger the feeling.

"But I still want to go after some spiritual things with my employees and friends... for this I can give up some material things."

"Oh no no no, don't you look like a saint who is not as good as a trash boy with swear words. Remember, don't be able to get along with money." Van dervich said after hearing Gan Guoyang's words.

Gan Guoyang just smiled. Of course, he would not be unable to get along with money, but at present, this amount of money is not in his eyes. He still has higher and bigger pursuits, and money will not be a problem at that time.

"Okay, I'm done playing my cards! I won, you guys will invite you to have a meal in Boston tomorrow."

Just as Gan Guoyang and Van dervich were chattering, Coach Ramsey silently finished all the shots on his hands and won the game, and their chips were tomorrow's lunch.

………………………………………

The third stop of the Trail Blazers' four-game away trip, and the most difficult stop, is to fly to Boston on the northeastern coast to challenge the powerful Boston Celtics.

The Celtics will make a comeback this season after losing the Finals and then losing the championship, especially after losing to the Lakers for the first time in the Finals.

The Celtics players started hard training early in the offseason. As soon as Larry Bird finished the finals, he returned to his scorching Indiana hometown and started a "death long-distance run" in the suffocating heat, using this inhuman torture to punish himself for his poor performance in the finals.

The Celtics' management also brought in former superstar Bill Walton, further filling in his frontcourt and making the team stronger.

After the start of the season, they only lost two games in 19 games, but they lost to the Pacers and the Cavaliers because they were careless.

In the game where they won, there were almost every game, and there was often no suspense in the fourth quarter, which was enough to prove their strength.
