Four hundred and thirtieth chapters lost in the rain

On April 3, 1989, the Seattle Dome Arena, the NCAA Finals will be held here this season, and for this reason, the NBA will also be suspended for one day.

In April, Seattle no longer snowed, but drizzled. The Emerald City was covered with a layer of mist, and spring had already arrived in this building located in the west of the United States.

The city of the North Point.

Spring rain did not stop the enthusiasm of basketball enthusiasts. This is the NCAA finals again played in Seattle after 1984. Since the last century war, it has been

After five years, the smoke of that game seemed to be still permeating the city air and was not wiped away by the rain.

Seattle has dedicated public bicycle paths for citizens to ride on the streets. This well-planned city is perfect for cycling around, and today,

Many fans braved the rain and rode their bicycles to the Dome Arena to attend the annual American college basketball event.

The two teams that reached the finals this year are the University of Michigan and Shertonhall. Coincidentally, these two universities have never won the NCAA championship in the past.

Central Michigan once reached the finals in 1976, but that year they lost to Indiana University, which won the season-winning season, and ShertonHall University even more

It's the first time to enter the Finals, so whoever wins the championship will add a new member to the NCAA's roster.

The rain is getting heavier and darker, and it is getting late. There are still a small number of fans rushing to the Dome Arena through various means of transportation. At this time, the local radio station in Seattle is

The voice of Blackburn "Voice of Seattle" has been heard, and he has begun to warm up for the game.

On the slightly dim and slippery streets, there were still people riding bicycles to the stadium slowly. There were few people on the road, with heavy rain and insufficient light.

, it was not noticed that the rider was a big part higher than the average person, and the bike he rode was also larger than the average person's car. And behind the seat, there was a person sitting for him

Hold an umbrella.

"Fuxi, are you tired of your arms like this?"

"Not tired, you should hurry up. Aren't you afraid of being late?"

"Not afraid, I remember you came to see my game at that time, and you were late and lost your hat in the end."

"Isn't something wrong at home? I was in a taxi at that time, listening to the radio and rushing to the stadium, and I was so anxious."

"So we don't have to hurry today, just ride over slowly."

The person riding the bike was Gan Guoyang, and the one behind him was naturally Wang Fuxi. Do both of them have holidays? Seattle is very close to Portland, so they drove here together to watch.

Watch the NCAA Finals.

Looking back at the final five years ago, Gan Guoyang still feels like in a dream, the suffocating venue, more than 20,000 viewers, tens of millions of people across the United States watched live TV, and he

The match against Olajuwon and the final final kill, the audience flocked to the venue, Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi's embrace, everything was firmly engraved in Gan Guoyang

In life.

At that moment, Gan Guoyang even felt that even if he could not play in the NBA in the future, he could not get higher basketball honors. With such glory and moments, his basketball student

The life is complete.

Gan Guoyang rode his bike slowly towards the Dome Arena in the rain, with a big umbrella on his head. People on the roadside could not recognize him without looking carefully. This is the present.

The most popular superstar in the NBA.

The football match and the audience will not wait for the arrival of Gan Guoyang. At 6 pm, the dome center was already full. The atmosphere here was as warm as five years ago, and the scene was also

It was even more lively, and the cheerleaders danced vibrantly to warm up the scene.

The players on both sides were also nervously warming up on the court. Compared with the game five years ago, the game between the University of Michigan and Shertonhall lacked a lot of star flavor and gimmicks.

All of them are team basketballs, and there are no superstars.

The biggest and most optimistic star on both sides is Michigan small forward Glen Rice, who is a talented attacker who can average 25.6 points per game this season.

He was also successfully selected as the first team of college students in the United States in 1989.

And Shirtonhal University is a complete civilian team. The chief scorer John Malton is a small forward who averages 17 points per game, although Olajuwon and Ewing averaged over the game back then.

The score is not as good as Malton, but the potential in the NCAA cannot be seen by the data. From their draft predictions, we can see that Olajuwon and Ewing are both the definite No. 1 picks, and Mo

In the eyes of scouts, Erton was just a first-round final show.

"Good evening, listeners of Seattle Sports Station, I am now bringing you a live commentary on the 1989 NCAA Finals in the Dome Arena. I am Bob Bray.

KBen, I am very happy to bring you the NCAA Finals again in 5 years. The classic final that has been recorded in history has passed. Five years later, we are looking forward to this.

The group of young men can bring new miracles.”

Blackburn said this, but he also knew that the game five years ago was really hard to reproduce, with 40 million viewing records, and more than 25% of the ratings miracle

, the ups and downs of the game and the duel between the two players who are destined to be superstars, all of them are only in the past five years, Bird vs. Magicians

To compare, maybe five years are a cycle.

"Forrest Gump, are you lost?" At this time, Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi were still on the way to the dome court, and they were in trouble. Gan Guoyang rode and found out whether he could not find out while riding.

I got to know the way, after all, he is not familiar with Seattle.

"...Don't worry, I have a map here..." Gan Guoyang stopped the car and took out the map he brought from his arms. This time he came to Seattle, Wang Fuxi was responsible for driving, while Feng Peiyu was

I took Feng Guangyao to the hospital for a leave and took him to see his teeth, but I couldn't go with him, so they had to solve such a problem by themselves.

"Oh no, the map is wet and can't be seen clearly." Gan Guoyang found that the map in his arms was a little blurred by rain. Moreover, in such a big city, sometimes it is not easy to read the map.

It worked, there was no navigation device or mobile phone at that time, so there was no direction at all.

"I still remember some routes. When I took a taxi to pass by, I seemed to pass by the Space Needle Tower." Wang Fuxi said based on his memories.

The Space Needle is a landmark building in Seattle. Basically, the most important roads in Seattle will gather near the Space Needle. Gan Guoyang looked around and found space.

The needle tower was not too far from them, so he decided to go to the space needle tower first, and then make other decisions there.

However, when you look at the mountain and run to death, the space needle tower looks close, but in fact, it is still quite far away after riding. Fortunately, Gan Guoyang's physical strength is continuous and he doesn't care about this at all.

The distance was, but when they both arrived under the needle, they were already wet with rain.

At this time, Gan Guoyang discovered that there were still many people queuing up to see the top floor under the space needle tower. Nearly 10,000 tourists came here every day, or went to the top of the needle tower.

High-end restaurant consumption.

At this time, Gan Guoyang looked extremely embarrassed, his whole body was wet, his hair was wet and he was pressed on his scalp, and he didn't have the style of the court at all. In addition, it was raining a lot.

Everyone is holding an umbrella, so no one pays special attention to this big man. Besides, the influence of the NBA was not as big as that everyone could recognize the stars on the street.

The influence of the media cannot be compared with that of later generations.

"Forrest Gump, why don't we go up and get your body dry. If you catch a cold, it won't work. You'll have to play the day after tomorrow." Wang Fuxi suggested to Gan Guoyang.

"Oh, it's so stupid. I originally wanted to ride a bike to take you to watch the football game, but I didn't know it was so embarrassing." Gan Guoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, Forrest Gump, it's not your competition anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I watch it or not. You haven't ridden a bicycle to carry me for a long time. I'll drive you."

Hearing this, Gan Guoyang laughed himself.

However, there are quite a few people queuing up, and Gan Guoyang's height is quite eye-catching among the crowd. Maybe he will be recognized by others. There will probably be a lot of trouble at that time.

At this time, a man came out from the entrance of the needle tower, a black man in a black suit. He walked to Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi and said to the two: "Mr. Gan,

Our boss invites you to sit there for a while and watch the game.”

After saying that, he ignored the reactions of Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi, and made a "please" gesture into it. It turned out that there was a VIP channel next to the normal queue.
