Four hundred and twentieth chapters piston trap
"Uh, I didn't expect that, at all, I just sent a block, and I was still celebrating with my teammates because this block is very important. If the opponent scores a goal, we will be overtaken. Then after a while, I felt something was wrong. Everyone's attention seemed to have disappeared from me. Then I turned around and saw a lot of people running towards the top of the stands. Then I saw, I saw it! Oh my God, I know that the Trail Blazers will play in Auburn Mountain tomorrow. I was going to go there to watch the game the next day after the finals, but, but... "
"But you didn't expect him to come here to see you play first?"
"Oh, yes, I thought at that time, I felt that my previous performance was really bad, too bad, we struggled, this was not the strength we should have. I wondered if he had seen my bad performance? So after that, I tried my best, really tried my best, and I wanted him to see my strength and let him see how great I was."
"So you scored 18 points in the next game, twice as much as before, and you also caught 9 rebounds."
"Yes, I think he will be satisfied with my performance. After the game, he came up and hugged me. He said he came to watch my game. My God, I never thought of it at all, and I never thought of it at all. Then I took a photo with him and shook hands with him. At that moment, I felt like a world champion."
This is what Chris Webber said in an interview with local reporters after the MHSAA Finals. He scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks in the game, helping Detroit Day High School win the Michigan High School Basketball League championship for the third consecutive year, and he also became the Player of the Year.
The arrival of Gan Guoyang undoubtedly made Weber very excited. Gan Guoyang did not expect that he wanted to see his idol when he was a boy, but he did not expect that he became Chris Weber's idol when he was a boy.
During his years in high school, Weber has always been swaying in power forwards and center positions due to his height. It is logical that a height of 6-foot-9 is more than enough to play centers in high school, but if you play professional basketball, it is obviously more suitable to play power forwards, and Weber doesn't like to fight with the opponent in the center position.
Soon, Gan Guoyang's existence opened a window for Weber. Since 1988, Gan Guoyang has been more and more active on the outside. As a center, he has the attack range of a small forward. His flexible footsteps and outstanding middle distance fascinated Chris Weber. The glory achieved by Gan Guoyang's change to power forward this season also strengthened Weber's belief in becoming a power forward in the future.
Influenced by the new power forwards in later generations, Gan Guoyang worked hard to practice his outside skills and became a comprehensive inside line that combines internal and external forces, but he did not expect that he was also influencing the power forwards in later generations to embark on the same path as him.
After watching Weber's game, Gan Guoyang left the venue alone. He felt that Weber was the protagonist of this place tonight. He should get the most attention when he won the championship and the most valuable player, rather than letting the spotlight on a famous NBA player.
Moreover, the next day, Gan Guoyang will become the target of Detroit fans' cheers. The Pistons fans are the best fans in the league who booed the most. They are deeply influenced by the team's temperament and are proud of "bad".
The "bad" of the Detroit Pistons is not a one-day refinement, and their players are not all born "bad" players, but now they are the "Bad-boys" that scare the whole league.

After returning to the hotel, Gan Guoyang found that Adelman was summoning all the players to a meeting in a hotel private room. He wanted to make some preparations before the game. After all, they were tired of driving and couldn't concentrate on systematic training. It would probably only take two or three hours to do some basic exercises tomorrow.
"Where have you been to Gan? I just went to the room to see if you are not here." Adelman happened to meet Gan Guoyang in the aisle.
"I went out to watch a high school game, MHSAA game, and I feel like there is a kid who is quite talented."
"Well, the team should add another scout job to you and then pay you more than the salary cap. Come on, we should prepare for tomorrow's game."
The players were relatively calm tonight and didn't run out to eat, drink and have fun. After all, tomorrow they will face the defending champion, the notorious bad boys' corps.
Of course, Gan Guoyang heard of the title of the Bad Boys Legion in later generations, and also knew that they won the championship in 1989 and 1990. Now, due to the arrival of Gan Guoyang, history has changed. The Pistons won the championship one year ahead of schedule, not only fulfilling the Pistons’ dream of winning the championship in advance, but also fulfilling the Adrian Dantley’s dream of winning the championship.
However, this year, the Pistons' condition is not very satisfactory. Dantley and Thomas have always had conflicts. The champions eased their conflicts. But after the new season, like the Trail Blazers, they experienced ups and downs in January - perhaps January is really the most likely month to have a state contrast.
The Pistons lost six games in January, including the first losing streak of the season. During this process, Dantley and Pistons head coach Daly had a serious quarrel, which was very serious and was just like an enemy. This situation forced the Pistons to make trade adjustments.
On February 15, the Pistons and the Mavericks completed a deal. The Pistons sent small forward Danteley and got the Mavericks forward Aquili. The two players are very similar in terms of play style, playing style, reputation and even figure. The only difference is that Danteley and Thomas have a bad relationship, but Aquili, like Thomas, are both Chicago-born and the two are good friends.
But at least judging from the few games Aquili has just joined the Pistons, the Pistons have lost a low-post killer. Aquili's scoring ability at his peak is basically the same as Dantley, but his current condition is not as good as Dantley.
After the transaction was completed, the Pistons suffered two consecutive losses, first losing to the Golden State Warriors overtime, and then to the Denver Nuggets. Questions about this deal came with it.
This game is the third game after the Pistons' two consecutive losses. It can be said that they cannot be missed, but they met the Portland Trail Blazers, the most popular team in the league.
Of course, the Trail Blazers are not completely fine. Not to mention anything else, Drexler's injury is a big problem. If Drexler had Drexler in the last game, even if Jordan scored 60 points, the Trail Blazers could still win the game, and at the same time, Gan Guoyang did not need to play so tired.
The better news is that Jim Paxson returned and was in good shape in the last game. His performance in the fourth quarter was perfect, completely changing the situation on the court, and he can be said to be the second contributor to the team's victory.
Adelman, together with Bellman, wanted to find a better plan from the prepared plan, not just this game, but to hold on until Drexler returns, and the Trail Blazers' backcourt can be neat, which is very important for the Trail Blazers.
All the players gathered together to discuss what issues should be paid attention to in the game tomorrow, and also gave Adelman advice and talked about their views on team rotation and tactics. This is the second good habit of the Trail Blazers in addition to the analysis of the locker room game after the game this season, and the pre-match preparation meeting.
However, the preparations tonight will completely change the flavor later, because the opponent is the Pistons, and the discussion has evolved into "how to prevent injuries in the game."
"Stay away from that guy Ma Hong, or don't face him with his back or force layups in front of him, it's very dangerous." Buck Williams, as a power forward, reminded Gan Guoyang.
"I know that guy, a big butt who is useless except wrestling." Gan Guoyang replied. He also knew that Ma Hong was not as dirty as Lan Bill.
"That boy named Rodman is very interesting. He plays crazy. He may come like that. Be careful with him."
"No need to mention the fucking guy Ranbir, I think the team would better sign a basic salary player here, start the game and then continue the game."
"Avidas should be careful tomorrow, that white man looks very good at cheating people."
"Don't scare him, Ranbir is not that scary either. We are all alive!"………
