At the end of April, Portland began to have a hint of summer smell, the temperature began to gradually increase, and the number of clothes on people was also decreasing. Although it was located in a high latitude area and its overall location was similar to that of China's Northeast China, Portland relied on the warm Pacific Ocean, so when New York, in the same latitude was still snowing due to the cold Atlantic Ocean, Portlanders had already begun to enjoy the warmth of the sun in advance.

The official start of the NBA playoffs has caused Portland and the entire Oregon area to go crazy. There is no way. The Oregonians only have such a precious team. Supporting the Trail Blazers is their only choice, let alone this year's Trail Blazers are very active.

The best record in history and the best start in history is the MVP of the No. 1 star. The best coach will also be won by Adelman. The best lineup will also have multiple seats as Trail Blazers players. The Trail Blazers are full of home games throughout the season. In fact, after coming to Portland from Gan Guoyang, even in the season when he was reimbursed, the Trail Blazers are still full of home games in the regular season.

If someone comes to Portland at this time, you can see things related to Portland Trail Blazers in various parts of the city, posters posted everywhere, banners pulled up in various communities, and huge publicity curtains for the Trail Blazers outside the Memorial Stadium. Red and black became the main colors of the city.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the visiting Golden State Warriors. When Don Nelson took his players to Portland on a plane, he looked at the ubiquitous Trail Blazers poster and muttered: "Red, black, red, black, this is simply hell... But fortunately, we brought a shiny golden color to bring some light to this place."

Don Nelson's words made the Warriors players smile, but soon they became silent. Although Nelson expressed optimism about the series before the game and claimed that he had found a way to restrain the Trail Blazers, especially the way to restrain Gan Guoyang, the Warriors players are not as confident as Frankenstein. Perhaps Portland is really their hell, and their light will soon be submerged in blood and darkness.

Compared with the Warriors players, the atmosphere in the Trail Blazers is much easier. In the pre-match training, Adelman did not add the amount to the whole team, but just did some simple tactical practices to make the players familiar with them. After all, they had been resting for several days and not playing for several days, which may have adverse effects for high-level players.

But the Trail Blazers players are still quite serious on the court, and no one dares to smile and not train well. Gan Guoyang maintained strong aggressiveness and aggressiveness throughout the training, and kept calling and reminding his teammates to run and make up for defense. Obviously, Gan Guoyang's attitude towards the game is very serious and serious.

"Okay, okay, let's take a break. There will be a pre-match media interview in a while. Everyone prepare and wipe the sweat to make you look more camera-like." Seeing that under Gan Guoyang's leadership, Adelman looked a little serious and erect, he immediately clapped his hands and stopped training. Looking at Gan Guoyang's appearance of giving all his strength, Adelman was afraid that this guy would cause some minor injuries and illnesses in the game, which would be bad.

"Sometimes you should also relax. In the first round, don't put so much pressure on your teammates. Of course, I know that you are right to do this." Adelman pulled Gan Guoyang aside and said to him. Now Adelman and Gan Guoyang should pay attention to their words when speaking. Even if they give him suggestions, they would not forget to praise him later.

"I understand, but I think we should be less ruthless. In order to prepare for the tough battles in the future, we must be energetic now, otherwise it will be too late. Even if a lion pounces on a rabbit, he must do his best." Gan Guoyang said while drinking water.

Adelman had no choice but to nod. If Pat Riley was Gan Guoyang's head coach, he would definitely hold Gan Guoyang's hand tightly after hearing Gan Guoyang's words to express his understanding. Riley is such a iron-blooded school, and Adelman is relatively gentler. He also pays more attention to adjusting the players' mentality and allowing them to relax their performance.

After a while, the media interview time was coming. Now the training interview time arranged by the NBA for each team has increased to two, which can be done in the morning and afternoon, and the time is relatively long. Players must abide by the regulations to participate in the interview. Just like post-match interviews, you will be punished if you do not participate. Gan Guoyang has also been fined a lot of money for this.

Today he was honestly interviewed. He was a reporter from Sports Illustrated. In the training hall, he began to ask some questions from Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang answered truthfully.

"Tang Nelson said before the game that he had found a way to deal with the Trail Blazers and you. What do you think of his statement?" After chatting for a while, the reporter finally began to release hot potatoes for Gan Guoyang to take over. Generally, Gan Guoyang would perfunctorily and make excuses during the regular season, and say a few words of high-sounding and obedient words, which would also send the reporter.

But this time it was different. After hearing this, Gan Guoyang said directly: "If you have any tricks, let him use it. If the Warriors can walk out of Portland while standing, I will lie down to Auckland."

Gan Guoyang's words quickly caused a lot of storm in the media, which was a naked provocation. Although Tang Nelson's words were also provocations, they were a relatively normal statement, saying that finding a way to deal with the other party does not mean that they will definitely win; while Gan Guoyang said that the Warriors would not let the Warriors stand out from Portland, otherwise he would lie down to Oakland, which is a swearing swearing. This is the media's favorite news content. No matter what the final result is, people always like it.

Of course, I hope that there will definitely be more people who will be slapped in the face in Gan Guoyang. After all, although Gan Guoyang is very popular, there are still 24 other teams in the league. Fans of other teams are of course standing opposite Gan Guoyang and the Trail Blazers at this moment.

"Gan, is it okay for you to say that? Don't be caught by the media, you will feel good about it." After the interview, Karp, a trainer who followed Gan Guoyang, asked Gan Guoyang.

"Don't worry, so I'll have the motivation to give those guys a look in the first round, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be unable to get up." Gan Guoyang said with an indifferent look on his face.

But Karp knew that Gan Guoyang must be a joke, and he didn't see that Gan Guoyang couldn't stand up. Because of the coming of the game, Gan Guoyang was particularly excited today.

This excitement lasted until the next day before the game. Kalp stood on the sidelines and watched Gan Guoyang warm up and could feel that Gan Guoyang's hormone secretion must have exceeded the standard. It is probably similar to the situation where there were ten big beauties in front of him. During the warm-up, he had dunked several times in a row, which is rare in the past.

"Dear Portland fans, I am Bill Seanley, now sitting by the Memorial Stadium to bring you the 1989 NBA playoff game. The playoffs will be fully started tonight. The Portland Trail Blazers will face the Golden State Warriors at home. This is the first game in the West against the eighth place in the West, but the Trail Blazers will not relax at all!"

Seanley sat on the sidelines to do his commentary work again. Although he said that the Trail Blazers would never relax at all, he clearly saw Gan Guoyang standing in the venue warming up and smiling at him. He looked very relaxed, and Seanley also smiled.

In five years, Seanley explained every game that Gan Guoyang participated in. Gan Guoyang could not hear Seanley's voice on the court, but when watching the video off the court, Gan Guoyang also liked to turn on the commentary recording of Seanley and watch it. He was also used to Seanley's passionate voice.

The two had a good relationship off the court. Seanley is a die-hard fan of the Trail Blazers and a die-hard fan of Gan Guoyang. He never stings on his praises when dealing with Gan Guoyang.

The competition is about to begin soon, and the lively memorial gymnasium is about to open here. The first scene of the appetizer will be staged between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors.

Before the opening ceremony, Gan Guoyang suddenly walked to the Warriors' bench, came to Don Nelson, and shook hands with Don Nelson. The two of them had a bit of tension before the game, but as an old senior in the NBA, Gan Guoyang still had to show him enough respect on the court.

But with Gan Guoyang's character, of course he would not just shake hands with Nelson. At the same time, he looked at the Warriors' bench, reached out to say hello to them, and said, "Welcome to Portland, I wish you all a good time, you won't come again."

After saying that, Gan Guoyang left, leaving only the Warriors substitute with a shocked face and the astonished Nelson.
