The incident of receiving mysterious notes at the bar did not distract Gan Guoyang from these things, and his attention soon focused on basketball again.

However, Gan Guoyang had another fan on the sidelines, the Chinese hostess who worked in a bar. After she learned that Gan Guoyang was a player of the Portland Trail Blazers, she spent money to buy preseason tickets to the Memorial Stadium to watch the Trail Blazers game.

The girl is Chen Xiaorui, an ordinary name. A college student who came to Portland to study abroad. She applied for study abroad at her own expense and studied for a master's degree in economics at Portland State University.

Her family conditions are pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't have the opportunity to study in the United States. However, she had to work to earn the money for studying in the United States. She used to brush plates in restaurants like many students, and she worked hard and had a low salary. Later, she gritted her teeth and decided to be a waitress in the bar. In this way, she did not conflict with her studies and her income was considerable.

Before coming to the United States, Chen Xiaorui didn't know that there was such a Chinese in the United States playing professional basketball. In fact, she didn't even know anything about basketball, but she soon became a fan of Gan Guoyang. In her words, "There is such an amazing Chinese in the United States who has done such an outstanding job in a field that has never been involved in yellow skin. How can I not support him?"

Therefore, in the first three home games of the Trail Blazers' regular season, Chen Xiaorui bought tickets and cheered for Gan Guoyang on the sidelines, just like other Chinese fans in Portland.

For some reason, Gan Guoyang felt that this girl gave him a very friendly feeling. In addition to the inexplicable sense of familiarity, Gan Guoyang also felt that this girl was completely different from those bar girls with ulterior motives.

At first, Gan Guoyang thought that this girl wanted to get close to him. Like those women who wanted to rely on Gan Guoyang to gain a position, Gan Guoyang was not going to pay attention to her.

But after several contacts, Gan Guoyang gradually discovered that she really just simply regarded Gan Guoyang as a friend and a hometown person she met in a foreign country.

Gan Guoyang used to have only felt this way in Wang Fuxi and Shui Miao. Wang Fuxi was his lover. Shui Miao had an indescribable ambiguous relationship with him, but with Chen Xiaorui and Gan Guoyang, he felt that the relationship between the two was very pure.

On October 31, the Trail Blazers will play their last preseason game at home, and their opponent is the Golden State Warriors.

While Gan Guoyang was warming up on the court, he looked at the audience. Not far from the technical stand, Gan Guoyang could see Chen Xiaorui wearing the Trail Blazers No. 11 uniform standing there waving her hands.

Wang Fuxi, like Shui Miao, has now become a resident at Portland Hospital. At the same time, she is also studying for a master's degree in medicine from the University of Portland. She is a strong personality and does not want to rely solely on Gan Guoyang, although Gan Guoyang's money has long been enough for her to live a luxurious life.

So she is so busy that she often has to stay in the hospital at night. For example, she has no way to come and watch some competitions. Gan Guoyang also advised her not to work hard like this. The response she got was "You are a person who works hard and works hard. How could I leave?"

Gan Guoyang had no choice but to see Chen Xiaorui on the sidelines, but he felt very at ease.

That's right, it's down-to-earth. Whenever Wang Fuxi watches the game on the sidelines, Gan Guoyang feels a huge passion and surging motivation, like the eternal hug at the end of the NCAA Finals that year.

But Chen Xiaorui is here, Gan Guoyang feels like he wants to "smile knowingly". He seems to be OK after finishing this game easily and steadily. I don't know if it is because of the preseason.

The Golden State Warriors team really made Gan Guoyang uninterested. However, compared with previous years, the Warriors have made reinforcements and adjustments. The biggest move was to complete a No. 1 pick last season.

The Warriors sent out the No. 1 pick Joe Barry Carroll, who they won in 1980, in exchange for the Houston Rockets' No. 1 pick Ralph Sampson in 1983.

This is a deal between two inside players. After Joe Barry Carroll left the Warriors and returned, his life was not satisfactory, and the team's performance has not improved; while Ralph Sampson suffered a major injury in 1987 and his condition was getting worse and worse, and his relationship with Olajuwon was also getting worse and worse, and the double towers began to compete for ball rights.

In the end, the Rockets made a choice between Olajuwon and the Warriors, leaving Olajuwon, who is more talented, younger and in better shape, in exchange for another inside line in order to reorganize the two-tower lineup.

The Warriors hope that Sampson's knees can get better as soon as possible and use him as the core to lead the Warriors back to the ranks of the strong team.

Unfortunately, this deal was not a win-win deal. Carroll did not perform well after going to the Rockets, and the Rockets failed to reorganize the two towers. After the season, the Rockets traded Carroll to New Jersey, in exchange for a new player, announcing the failure of the No. 1 pick.

On the other hand, Sampson was not very good at the Warriors. The Oaklanders gave him great expectations, but Sampson never returned to his peak state. The injury caused him too much damage.

His situation seems to be even worse this season. He is absent in all preseason games and is expected to not participate in the game until two weeks after the start of the game. Even if the Warriors want to trade him out now, no team will be willing to accept it.

It's really a big injury.

Gan Guoyang couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked at his old opponent in the Western Conference Finals when he could only sit on the bench and watch his teammates play.

He was also suffering from injuries because of that damn football. Now, Gan Guoyang, who has recovered from injury, has not only used hard practice to improve his condition, but also paid great attention to protecting every muscle and bone of his own.

During the game, the Warriors lined up a strange formation. The highest player in their starting five players was the 6-foot-8 power forward Larry Smith, which means that this is a pure small lineup without a center.

Although this lineup is strange, you can figure it out by just looking at who the coach sitting on the sidelines of the Warriors - it's Don Nicholson.

Faced with such a lineup, Gan Guoyang did not make any effort to play inside. He only swayed on the court for 20 minutes, scored 10 points and 7 rebounds, and then went off the court to rest and wait for the game to end.

Because of this, the game has become extremely intense. Chris Mullin, who was still a rookie a few years ago, has grown into an excellent powerful scorer. He has made a very accurate left-hand shot and has begun to win the title of "God's Left Hand".

Another rookie's performance was also shocking, which was a tough defender chosen by the Warriors in the fifth pick, just in time for the scorer Mickey Richmond, who was partnered with white Mullin.

In his previous preseason performances, Riccimond fully demonstrated his offensive talent, and now all he needs is to prove himself in the regular season.

The Warriors' strange formation and the powerful firepower in the backcourt made the Trail Blazers a little uncomfortable for a while, but Adelman also reused Sabonis in the game. Sabonis has a higher and higher understanding of the team and can integrate well into the team's offense.

A preseason game that was irrelevantly focused on sparks of passion, and both sides bite until the last moment. However, the Trail Blazers were all out of the field and allowed the substitutes to play in the last period. As a result, Mulin scored two goals in a row, and his side missed two shots and eventually lost the game.

Although the home team lost the game, the fans were quite happy. Anyway, this game is irrelevant regardless of the results. The ticket price is worth it until the last moment of the preseason.

For Gan Guoyang, the day's work was over again. After changing his clothes in the locker room, Gan Guoyang left the memorial gymnasium under the escort of Feng Guangyao and Feng Peiyu.

Sitting in his car, Gan Guoyang was about to leave, when Feng Guangyao in the front row suddenly said, "Yangtou, there is a girl in front waving to us!"

Feng Peiyu said, "One night, the Chaoyang Head, who has no daughter, waved to the sun? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

"No! It seems that the girl in the bar, the fan of Yangtou, that kind of rui."

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked at it and found that it was Chen Xiaorui wearing the No. 11 jersey. She left directly after watching Gan Guoyang's games the previous few times. I don't know what happened this time.

"Peiyu, drive the car over." Gan Guoyang asked Feng Peiyu to drive the car next to Chen Xiaorui, then opened the door and signaled Chen Xiaorui to come in.

Chen Xiaorui hesitated for a moment and entered the car.

"Will this be photographed by the newspaper reporter?" Chen Xiaorui said with some concern after getting in the car. She was afraid that the reporter would be photographed by the reporter as a pornographic news.

"It's okay, these two guys are here too, you can be a witness." Gan Guoyang pointed at Feng Peiyu and Feng Guangyao.

Feng Guangyao looked back at Gan Guoyang and Chen Xiaorui. Suddenly, as soon as he pressed the button, the partition between the front seats and the rear seats slowly rose. Feng Guangyao also smiled lewdly and said, "Yangtou, I saw nothing! I saw nothing!"

“…………”

Gan Guoyang had a strong urge to send Feng Guangyao to the Portland Hospital for a visit to the Portland Hospital for a visit.

But at this time, Chen Xiaorui suddenly said, "I will return to China tomorrow."

When Gan Guoyang heard this, he had no intention of pursuing Feng Guangyao again and asked, "Why are you going back suddenly? Are you not studying anymore?"

"You should be able to see you when I come to see you in the past few days. I won't go to work in a bar anymore. I want to go back to China, so of course I don't have to work anymore."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My studies ended in September, but I haven't raised enough money for the air ticket to go back. I also had a small loan in the school, so I worked in a bar. Now I have finally paid it back and I can go back."

It turns out that Chen Xiaorui works in a bar more to pay off loans and raise money for air tickets.

"It's great to stay in the United States, you can also watch me play basketball. Gan Guoyang really hopes that Chen Xiaorui can stay.

"My boyfriend is still waiting for me in China. I agreed to go back." Chen Xiaorui said with a smile.

Only then did Gan Guoyang realize that Chen Xiaorui has a boyfriend in China, and it seems that she is going back to get married.

"I'm going to get married, right? Congratulations, you can immigrate to the United States together in the future." Gan Guoyang seemed to particularly hope that Chen Xiaorui could come to the United States.

"Okay, it's a matter of determination. He studies sociology and really wants to come to the United States to study."

Gan Guoyang knew that Chen Xiaorui had a fiancé, but he was not surprised at all. Instead, he was very peaceful and peaceful, and even a hint of warmth flowed.

Soon, the car drove to the vicinity of Portland State University, and Chen Xiaorui was about to get off.

Gan Guoyang suddenly asked to hug Chen Xiaorui. Chen Xiaorui nodded, and Gan Guoyang stepped forward and gave Chen Xiaorui a strong hug.

Then, watching Chen Xiaorui's figure disappear into the dim street lights after getting off the car, Gan Guoyang felt that maybe he would never see her again.
