April 19 was a happy day for David Stern. The two second-year rookies made huge waves with their god-like performance on this day. Reports about these two were overwhelming, and everyone spoke with the same "expression" - Amazing.

For Stern, this effect is needed for superstar basketball. Among them, the video of this game in Gan Guoyang has been packaged by Stern and is ready to be sent to Beijing.

When asked about their opinions on the performance of the two, Stern expressed his pride for the two young men.

After finishing his game with Jordan, Larry Bird said the most stingy compliment he has ever said in his life, "Tonight God pretended to be Michael Jordan."

Of course, soon after the game on the West Coast Portland ended, someone began to joke, "God not only pretended to be Michael, but he also rushed to pretend to be Gan."

Anyway, God is very busy tonight.

These two games have also begun to re-recognize and look at these two superstars in the United States. For Jordan, he has been criticized for more than a season of games, which stems from his overly personalized playing style and unique dressing, which are challenging the nerves of traditional basketball people.

Obviously, in their eyes, Jordan is a rebellious and a selfish "selfish ghost" who only cares about himself. It is difficult for him to succeed in his playing style. Tonight's game undoubtedly confirmed their views. Jordan won the data, but the team lost the game.

The difference is that his data is so shocking. In this era, he scored 63 points under the intensity of the playoffs, and it was like a fantasy to be the No. 1 Celtics in the league.

When things that are considered "heretics" show extraordinary power, then tradition will one day surrender to the feet of "heretics", and Jordan's 63 people start to face up to the huge potential of this non-mainstream shooting guard.

If Jordan has been misunderstood, Gan Guoyang has been despised.

After playing against the Spurs in the evening, Gan Guoyang accepted interviews from several media outlets and then took Drexler's car home.

Gan Guoyang's performance was shocking, and everyone was talking about his performance, but when it was really involved in Gan Guoyang himself, everything seemed to be cold again.

Cort made a stunning statement in the post-match interview, saying: "If Gan were an American, he would have performed like this, and the number of media interviews he would have interviewed would be ten times as many times as possible now."

Colter's words were quickly criticized by many media, and the Trail Blazers quickly explained Corter's remarks.

However, some media also admitted that the attention Gan Guoyang received does not match his current achievements - this is due to the reason why Gan Guoyang himself is not willing to contact the media, as well as nationality and ethnicity.

The reason why Gan Guoyang is not willing to contact the media is also related to his constant unfair treatment by the media. You should know that the most violent time Gan Guoyang was entangled by the media was when he was caught in the police station in the middle of the night. People were obviously more interested in his negative news.

Fortunately, Gan Guoyang has a very solid foundation among fans, especially young fans. Young fans are often very simple, and I will support whoever plays well. Therefore, Gan Guoyang's Sky-Skyscraper series sneakers increased sharply after April 19, surpassing Bird and the Magician's Converse sneakers, ranking second in the United States after Air-Jordan.

Nike is now laughing from ear to ear. Both of its two major signatures have made great efforts to perform. Their sports brands are big sales. They have even thought of filming a long advertisement for the two during the offseason.

In this way, the two young people each caused a typhoon on the east and west coasts, which increased the number of topics rapidly, but the two people seemed to be in the eyes of a calm typhoon and were not involved in the hype or argument from the outside world.

After Jordan finished the game, he returned to Chicago with a hint of loss and prepared for the third game with all his strength. This 63-pointer really exhausted everything he had. He did everything he could, and he no longer needed to prove anything like the team management. He just wanted to win one game.

After Gan Guoyang returned home on the night of the 19th, he called Wang Fuxi from Spokane and asked her when she would come to Portland to watch his game. The answer was the next round. Then he called Gan Youwei, who was far away in San Francisco, and after a brief chat, he went to bed. He was really tired tonight.

The next day, both of them were engaged in training and kept silent about their performance yesterday, as if nothing had happened. At night, Gan Guoyang took the initiative to call Jordan. The two people who were not very attracted to each other in the past had a great time this time and had a long chat.

Perhaps, only a happy resonance can arise between heroes, and the two even made an appointment to meet in the finals on the phone.

However, it seems that they are not the time to meet in the finals. At least for the Bulls, it is almost impossible to enter the second round, let alone enter the finals.

Sure enough, two days later, on April 22, the Chicago Bulls lost to the Boston Celtics with a score difference of 104:122 and 18 points at home. Jordan was completely curbed by the Celtics in this game, and only scored 19 points on 8 of 18 shots.

Even so, under the siege of the Celtics, Jordan still scored 10 rebounds and 9 assists, almost getting a triple-double, which is enough to prove his strong adjustment ability.

However, the Bulls' overall strength is too far from that of the Celtics. The Celtics are in full bloom. Kevin McHale, who is in full swing, beat the Bulls' inside line by 31 points. The Celtics ended the Chicago Bulls with a score of 3:0 and sent Jordan home.

There is no doubt that from the scores, this is an ordinary first-round series of playoffs, with the first-place division vs. eighth-place division, and no suspense. He should have been drowned in the vast NBA history, but because of Jordan's 63 points, he was repeatedly mentioned and savored by later people.

Jordan's journey ended here, and Gan Guoyang's journey has just begun.

On April 23, a game day after the Bulls were eliminated, the entire Trail Blazers arrived in San Antonio, Texas, to compete with the Spurs in the third game.

This is a very critical game for the Trail Blazers. Gan Guoyang's miracle in the second game will not add another victory to the Trail Blazers. The 1:1 score means that the two teams are on the same starting line, and their home advantage has returned to the Spurs.

Ramsey finally started careful preparations before the game. In response to the Spurs' offensive weaknesses, Ramsey asked the entire team to do their best to curb George Gerwen from the beginning. In the first two games, Gerwen performed at the superstar level. He scored consecutive goals in the third quarter twice, which put the Trail Blazers in a great passive manner.

After the opening, the Trail Blazers would rather let Jill Moore and Mike Mitchell score in the inside than let Gewen play. Gan Guoyang came to the power forward in defense and began to double-team George Gewen in advance, so that Gewen could not find the offensive feeling at all.

The Trail Blazers did not open the score in the first half and entered the midfield with a 59:56 lead of three-pointers. The Spurs' inside scores were more than the first half of the first two games.

But in the second half, the Spurs' old inside line could not be sustained, and Ge Wen, who had previously relied on to prosper, could not find any offensive feeling after being suppressed in the half. The former scoring champion in the third quarter made 0 of 6 shots and did not score a single point.

The Trail Blazers took advantage of the situation to launch a strong counterattack and pushed the Spurs to the ground with a 14:0 shock wave. At this time, the old Spurs were finally unable to stand up again.

114:94, the Trail Blazers won a key game away and got the match point of the series, and the promotion was in sight.

Like Jordan, Gan Guoyang failed to continue his magical performance in the third game. He only scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, with a fairly good data.

But his performance on the court is indisputable. He cooperated with the team's outside line to lock the Spurs' only superstar point and eliminated the last bit of hope of turning the Spurs back. After the game, the Trail Blazers who won the ball were very calm, and the Spurs who lost the ball were also dull. The players on both sides knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and there was no suspense after the end of this game.

When asked how to view the current situation of the match, Gan Guoyang wanted to say, "I'm already considering the next opponent," but he swallowed it when he said that when he knew that this sentence was too bad.

So Gan Guoyang changed his tone and praised the Spurs from top to bottom, praising how good Jill Moore's defense was and how powerful Kuagerwen's offense was, and said that the final result was unknown.

"After getting 42 rebounds, do you think there is pressure in the subsequent games?" the reporter continued.

"Pressure? Of course, although we lead 2:1, the pressure is on our side. The next game will still be played in San Antonio. If you lose, the fifth game will be very dangerous even at home. It is really difficult to tell the battle of life and death." Gan Guoyang is well aware of the principle of accumulating character, and the Trail Blazers are now behind, not the Spurs.

In the 1980s, when most of the stars spoke directly, roughly, and even wildly, Gan Guoyang's answer to character accumulation seemed so unique, but he still had a crazy pursuit of victory in his heart.
