It started to snow heavily in Michigan. From November, snowflakes will begin to fall in Michigan, and it will continue to fall until April. There will be no so much snow on the ground here. In addition to the high latitude accident, the large amount of water vapor transported by the Great Lakes is also the reason why the snow is constantly falling here.

On February 21, after the Trail Blazers fought the Bulls, the whole team got on the bus and headed to their next stop in the snow, Detroit.

"Damn it, why does it snow outside every time we come to Michigan, and then we have to take the bus and stagger around for most of the day to Detroit! That cold and hard broken place." Jerome Cauchy, who was sitting in the car, complained that since he came to the Trail Blazers in 1984, he went to the Central Division once a year to compete in the Central Division. The Trail Blazers have to take a bus from Chicago or Milwaukee to Detroit, and it snows every time it is snowing in the sky.

"Maybe we will come here in June." Gan Guoyang, who was sitting in front of Cauchy, suddenly said. After that, he turned his head and closed his eyes to rest. Cauchy heard it and there was no sound. The whole car was very quiet, with only the roar of the engine, and some players fell asleep in the car.

Yesterday's game was really too tiring. For the starter, such a game was even more painful than two overtimes. After returning to the hotel at night, Gan Guoyang, Cauchy, Porter and others fell asleep immediately when they returned to the room.

What's even more painful is that they are heading to Detroit the next day. This morning everyone got up early to take the bus to the next stop, so the players were all in the car to hurry up and rest. The substitutes would not disturb the main players, and the carriage would be silent.

Gan Guoyang was originally confused by the car, but Cauchy muttered in the back, awakening Gan Guoyang. Cauchy is so energetic. If Gan Guoyang ranks first in the team, Cauchy would be the second. Anyway, he is quite energetic in the car. Yesterday he was also very troubled by Pippen.

After waking up, Gan Guoyang couldn't sleep anymore. Through the foggy window, he saw that there was a lot of snow outside the car. The snow was not too heavy, otherwise they would not be able to go to Detroit.

Gan Guoyang couldn't help but recall his rookie season in 1985. He went to Detroit for the first time. The snow was even heavier than he is now. The entire Trail Blazers also took a bus to the Motor City. Then he encountered a traffic jam in the city. The team walked directly to the hotel.

The next day's game was held in the Silver Top Center. A large and incredible gymnasium can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators. It is not used for basketball games at all. The seats on the scene are temporarily installed, and there is a large space behind the audience seat. The ceiling of the gymnasium is also extremely high. Every time you play in it, Gan Guoyang will feel like playing outdoor courts.

In the first game at Silver Top Center, Gan Guoyang waved his fist at Bill Ranbir and was suspended. Although Ranbir hated him at that time, he was not yet infamous. When he evolved into the "Prince of Darkness", he was knocked down by Robert Parrish in the 1987 playoffs, but the Chiefs did not even receive the punishment for being sent off.

When Gan Guoyang thought of Lan Bill, he felt a little depressed. When he thought of playing with him tomorrow, Gan Guoyang felt even more depressed. He knew that he would be "punched and kicked" and mentally tortured. Gan Guoyang was not afraid of any confrontation or challenges, but sometimes he had no choice but to such hooligans - especially this group of hooligans and a great leader, Chuck Daly.

Due to heavy snow, the Trail Blazers bus did not arrive in Detroit until about 4 pm. After a day of car, it was too busy. This time the players did not need to walk to the hotel. The bus sent everyone safely to the designated hotel. Adelman also announced that he would not train at night, so everyone had a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.

Detroit in 1989 was in the stage of urban revival. After experiencing the oil crisis in the 1970s, the automobile industry was depressed, and Detroit fell into the urban crisis, more than ten years have passed, and Detroit's transformation is taking effect. Just like the team's team, from ruin to glory, from low to peak.

After Gan Guoyang came to the United States, he had to travel between many cities every year. Some cities had not changed much over the years, such as small cities like Milwaukee, while others were changing with each passing day. For example, Detroit, the originally cold and noisy car city, is now in more and more entertainment venues, such as casinos, nightclubs, strip clubs, and large high-end Western restaurants.

This blue-collar city is becoming more and more white-collar workers. Of course, no one knows what the scene will be like in 20 years.

After arriving at the hotel, the Trail Blazers players found that everything was peaceful. There were no reporters, media, and fans. It seemed that what they came was not the current popular league craze, but a high school team came to Detroit to participate in the state basketball game. Gan Guoyang, who contributed an earth-shaking game with Jordan in the last game, did not arouse the slightest interest of the Detroits, but Gan Guoyang was so happy that he hid in his room and looked at the TV and newspapers.

Gan Guoyang opened the local newspaper in Detroit provided by the hotel and put it in the sports page. The front page headlines were very proud. He put a huge photo of Gan Guoyang's big hat Pippen on the cover yesterday's game. This was also the front page headlines of almost all sports newspapers that day. Gan Guoyang and Jordan scored 60 points and 63 points respectively in the same game.

Gan Guoyang was not interested in the process of the game and the evaluation after the game. The excitement brought to him by the previous game had long passed, and what he was looking forward to was always the next game.

Gan Guoyang flipped back again, and a report about basketball attracted his attention, a game trailer, that is, tonight, a MHSAA game will be held in a medium-sized gymnasium in Detroit.

MHSAA is the Michigan High School Sports League, which is the general term for all high school sports games in Michigan. Just like the NCAA, in Detroit tonight, the final of the MHSAA high school boys basketball game will be held.

Such games are held every year in various states in the United States, and the rules of each state are different. Gan Guoyang stood out in the California Championship and entered the NCAA and finally entered the NBA. This is the only way for every professional player.

In Michigan, MHSAA is the highest stage for all young basketball players. The most dazzling new star ever appeared on this stage is Magic Johnson. As a Michigan native, he eventually went to Michigan State University and won the NCAA championship, becoming a basketball hero in Michigan.

Gan Guoyang was not very interested in such a game. In his opinion, it was already a game for high school students, not to mention that he would play against the Pistons tomorrow.

But in the report, when introducing the player's name, one person's name attracted Gan Guoyang's attention. When introducing one of the two sides of the game, the local Detroit Day School (Detroit-Country-Day-School, a strange name), he focused on their team's power forward, No. 4 player, Chris Webber.

When Gan Guoyang saw the name "Chris-Webber" and the place Detroit, he knew that this must be the gorgeous king of Sacramento, Webber.

Gan Guoyang remembered the days when he was a fan in his later generations and his favorite inside player, except for Yao Ming, it was Weber. Unfortunately, when he started paying attention to basketball, Weber had already begun to decline, and his life at the Kings was getting worse every year.

After coming to the United States, Gan Guoyang asked himself that he had met many stars and future stars (some of them did not know about them), but it seemed that most of them were outside players, and Gan Guoyang, the future super insiders, did not meet in advance. So Gan Guoyang put down the newspaper and decided to go to the game to watch a Weber game.

Gan Guoyang came out of the room and went downstairs, asked the hotel front desk to call himself a taxi, and then took the car to go directly to the competition venue.

When Gan Guoyang arrived at the gymnasium, the game had already begun. Because the basketball game in American high schools is a non-commercial game, no tickets are charged. Nearby residents and basketball enthusiasts can go to the venue for free to cheer for their favorite teams, or just join in the fun.

Because Detroit Day High School is a local middle school, most of the teams on site are wearing sea blue clothes and cheering for Detroit Day High School. This year is the third consecutive year that Detroit Day High School has reached the MHSAA Finals. In the past two years, they have all won the championship, which means that this will be their chance to win three consecutive championships.

Gan Guoyang entered the gymnasium through the back door and then walked directly to the aisle behind the highest stand. He didn't want too many people to see him. The game on the court was extremely fierce and the score was quite anxious.

Gan Guoyang stood high and looked far, and soon saw the person he wanted to see, Chris Weber, power forward wearing a sea blue No. 4 jersey, Gan Guoyang could see the appearance of the future purple king from his very young face.

The audience was very involved in watching it, and the scene was extremely noisy. The Detroits' enthusiasm for basketball is not inferior to any city, and the playing in high school was also very difficult. For any team, the road to three consecutive championships is difficult. The hardships Webber will encounter in the future are far greater than that now.

Suddenly, Webber slapped his opponent's layup with a big hat during a defense. His physical fitness was far superior to that of players of his same age, and the ball also flew straight to the audience.

After blocking the shot, Webber still looked proud on the basket. The opponent was going to pick up the ball and saw the giant standing at the top of the audience.

In fact, the lights behind were not on, and the players on the court could not see clearly the person in the audience, but Gan Guoyang's height was too eye-catching. The players on the court stared at him for two or three seconds, and the audience immediately turned around to look at him behind.
