Throughout March, the Portland Trail Blazers remained in an extremely fast state, and their losses remained below 10 games. After losing to the Boston Celtics with one point away on March 29, the Trail Blazers continued to score 59 wins and 10 losses, with hope of winning 70 games.

As April enters, the Trail Blazers will face strong enemies in a row. The Trail Blazers' schedule throughout the season is easy to start and then difficult. Now at the end of the season, the opponents are still strong, but as the playoffs approach, the strong teams are adjusting their state, which gives the Trail Blazers the opportunity to continue to steal victory.

Gan Guoyang failed to see the NCAA finals on site. After returning to Portland, he immediately went to the battlefield to face the strong opponent. Their opponent was the Detroit Pistons who were soaring all the way in the second half.

After getting Aquili in the trade, the Pistons, who had a lot of conflicts in the first half, defeated the Trail Blazers at home on February 22, became a turning point. They played in the second half of the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and they achieved 20 wins and 2 losses in 22 games. Such a high winning rate quickly made them surpass the Cleveland Cavaliers and jumped back to the No. 1 position in the Western Conference.

The chemical reaction brought by the Pistons Aquili and Dantley's exchange is really unparalleled. Aquili is willing to play as a substitute at the Pistons, starting from defense. At the same time, he can contribute about 20 points of strong firepower in each game, which is perfect for the Pistons.

However, although such a Pistons lineup is very strong, starting and nine players with nine substitutes made the league frightened, Dantley's departure also gave the Pistons a fatal weakness, that is, when it comes to the forefront, the Pistons only have the superstar score point Isia Thomas, the Pistons. After all, Aquili was not as good as before. He could not provide Dantley's unreasonable score, especially low-post score.

The entire Pistons rely quite on their backcourt scoring, and the forwards, especially the low posts, were seriously insufficient, which caused them to suffer a big loss in the game against the Trail Blazers on April 4.

After Gan Guoyang returned to Portland, he participated in the game at night without participating in training. Facing the Pistons' iron barrel inside defense, Gan Guoyang, who was covered in dust in Auburn Mountain last time, did not give the Pistons a chance to double-team him. He limited his position to a fan-shaped area of ​​60 degrees on the front, constantly pick-and-roll, jump shot, or suddenly went down to the low post to catch the ball. Bill Ranbill and John Sally had no choice but to take Gan Guoyang. With a strong revenge mentality, Gan Guoyang scored 41 points again on the Pistons' inside. This is his 26th game of 40 points this season, and his shooting percentage is amazing. The Pistons are quite uncomfortable with his way of playing up and down, at a high position and at a low position.

Bill Lanbill tried to provoke Gan Guoyang many times, but Gan Guoyang had no time to pay attention to him. He gave him two dunks on his head. Ranbill was basically honest because the score difference was getting bigger and bigger. The Pistons were trapped in scoring drought in several attacks. Without Dantley and the others, once the tactics could not be opened, the most reliable point was missing, which also led to them being beaten by the Trail Blazers so hard that they could not stand up.

Finally, amid the booing of the audience, Bill Ranbill ended up with six fouls. Of course, the old man did not forget to "politely" bow to the fans of the audience and thanked them before leaving the court to sit on the bench.

The game of defeating the Pistons has reached its peak of confidence in the Trail Blazers. The whole team was united before the playoffs, and they were all ready to make great achievements in the playoffs.

In the next game, the Trail Blazers swept all the way, facing the Los Angeles Clippers on April 6, Drexler scored 36 points and Gan Guoyang scored 33 points and 11 rebounds. The duo continued to maintain their terrifying firepower.

On April 7, the Celtics were welcomed at home. In the poor Celtics, Bird and McHale were all injured and absent. Ren Baiyas replaced McHale as a power forward. The result is conceivable. This player who saved his life because of Gan Guoyang's arrival is not Gan Guoyang's opponent on the court. Although he is an excellent player, it can be seen from his drug exposure that his willpower is his biggest problem. For superstars, willpower sometimes plays a more decisive role than talent.

Such misaligned matches are really useless to play Gan Guoyang. At the same time, it can be seen that the Celtics' morale is a bit dismal. This season, due to the injuries of the main players, the Celtics' record has ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, and they have to struggle for the playoffs. This is really difficult for the Celtics, who were extremely brilliant last season.

Without Bird, Gan Guoyang also had fewer opponents who were fighting against him on the court. The game became much boring in an instant. After scoring 33 points in the third quarter, Gan Guoyang sat down and rested. At this time, the Trail Blazers had entered the automatic navigation state and did not need the captain's command and helm.

In the next five days, the Trail Blazers defeated the Heat, Clippers and Utah Jazz at home. Their record had reached 68 wins and 10 losses, only one win away from the best NBA history score of 69 wins and 13 losses. All fans and media are paying attention to the next game of the Trail Blazers, waiting for the birth of the first 70 wins in NBA history.

However, the game against the Jazz was still quite difficult, and the Jazz's defense was at its peak, which made the Trail Blazers fall into the quagmire of low hits. Gan Guoyang was defeated by Ma Long's revenge-style crazy defense, but he did not dare to elbow Gan Guoyang. In the end, Gan Guoyang was able to use two layups at the critical moment to smash the Jazz's hope of defeating the Trail Blazers away, and won the 68th victory with 4 points.

After the game, Gan Guoyang also invited Stockton to go to Mr. Bellman's house together. The two most proud disciples of Bellman never forgot this mentor, although the most important influence on the mentor was trash talk and small movements...

At Bellman's home, the two of them talked about their past events and their views on the future, just like they were in college. Bellman even hoped that the two of them would have the opportunity to play together again, but judging from the current situation, it was basically unlikely.

"Dear, come and have a look. The news on TV is reported by the Trail Blazers." At this time, Mrs. Bellman, who was watching TV in the living room, suddenly said that Bellman and Stockton felt that the news related to the Trail Blazers was nothing more than reporting how great they were this season, and there was still one game to go before the best record.

Only Gan Guoyang felt nervous. When he thought of Allen's words, he always felt that something was going to happen.

Gan Guoyang and Bellman came to the living room together and saw a report from CBS TV: "The NBA official received an anonymous audio tape. According to the official announcement, it recorded the conversation between Portland Trail Blazers owner Larry Weinberg and Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, which mentioned their views on the players under him. They unanimously expressed their hatred of people of color on the team. Among them, Larry Weinberg said that the team's top card turned out to be a Chinese, which made him feel unacceptable, 'If he hadn't brought me so much income, I would have sold him immediately'."

This news was like a blow. After listening to the news, the four people stood blankly in the living room. The expressions on each of them were very complicated. However, Gan Guoyang seemed relatively calm and seemed to be prepared for it.

"Gan, everything should be under investigation. Moreover, even if the boss has any objections to you, the players and coaches support you..." Bellman looked at Gan Guoyang's calm appearance and wanted to say something, but Gan Guoyang raised his hand to stop him.
