In the end, the paper did not cover the fire. The news that Gan Guoyang was forced to kiss by female fans at the subway station still reached Wang Fuxi's ears. As a result, Gan Guoyang was fined three times a night. If it weren't for the Western Conference Finals approaching, Wang Fuxi decided to let Gan Guoyang go one horse, then on the day of the game, Gan Guoyang might have surrendered without playing.

This little episode did not change Gan Guoyang's good mood. With the official announcement that Gan Guoyang won the regular season MVP, phone calls and emails flocked to him, relatives and friends congratulated him, fans blessing him, and some advertisement invitations sent by some large companies, such as Coca-Cola, who had submitted the next contract they had formulated for Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang handed over all this to David Falke. Anyway, Falke has not interfered with Gan Guoyang's core investment career now, so he can still handle these small businesses freely. Then Gan Guoyang will focus on the Western Conference Finals. Gan Guoyang doesn't want to be slapped at the face by the Lakers at home after winning the regular season MVP.

However, among all the condolences, the phone call from his father Gan Youwei moved Gan Guoyang the most. Gan Youwei neither praised Gan Guoyang too much nor talked about how bright his face was. Instead, he took care of Gan Guoyang to be modest and cautious, reminding others that the higher they climbed, the more painful they fell.

Over the years, Gan Youwei has never caused any trouble to Gan Guoyang for the sake of money. He always emphasized that he has skills and skills, his salary is not low, he can support himself, and he can live a good life, so he never asks Gan Guoyang for money.

Not only that, no matter how famous Gan Guoyang is now, how much influence and how much money it has, in Gan Youwei's eyes, Gan Guoyang is a son who needs care and love at that moment. This father gave Gan Guoyang great spiritual support with the careful love of traditional Chinese parents.

Therefore, Gan Guoyang decided to invite Gan Youwei to go there in person at the MVP award ceremony on May 20 to attend his ceremony. He wanted to express his gratitude to his father in front of everyone.

But after thinking about it, Gan Youwei still rejected Gan Guoyang's proposal. This simple father didn't like the dazzling and sensational scenes of the NBA, nor did he like to express his feelings in front of too many people. In his words, "I'm very happy if I can watch my son on TV."

For Gan Youwei, he was really satisfied to be able to see Gan Guoyang on TV. Sometimes he was very grateful in his heart, thinking that although his son worked far away in Portland, his son was a basketball player and a big star. In this way, he was very satisfied to be able to watch him on TV by himself.

Soon, on May 20, Gan Youwei was satisfied again. Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, league president David Stern personally presented Gan Guoyang with the regular season MVP trophy. Gan Guoyang held up the "Morris Podolov" Cup in the eyes of more than 20,000 spectators in the Memorial Stadium, cheered and applauded, which was a trophy named after the first NBA president. Gan Guoyang also became the second Trail Blazers player to win this trophy.

Gan Guoyang stood in the middle of the field. He had long been accustomed to the dazzling lights and deafening cheers here, and learned to enjoy this glory, but he could also feel the heavy weight of his right hand. The regular season MVP trophy is not that easy to win.

In NBA history, a team with an MVP means that they have the best players, and having a championship can prove that they are the strongest team. From 1969 (putting aside the boring Celtic era 69 years ago), to 20 years in 1989, a total of 20 regular season MVPs were born, but only 7 of them won the championship that year. Others either fell in the finals or failed on the road to the finals.

At this time, Gan Guoyang, who won this trophy, experienced the praise from all directions, but truly realized the weight of this heavy award, especially when he saw the magician Johnson sitting down on the court watching the entire ceremony.

This MVP was originally from Magic Johnson. Johnson was no less than Gan Guoyang in personal performance, but the Trail Blazers' record was really outstanding, with the best history. In addition, the discrimination incident occurred, Gan Guoyang's MVP was expected to be the most popular, and it was also a decision that the league must make. They can no longer bear the criticism.

However, for the players, especially the superstars who are very competitive, they will always be the MVP in their hearts. Magic Johnson is no exception. He sat on the stool and seemed a little impatient and kept talking to Jabbar beside him. He no longer wanted to watch Gan Guoyang accept the king-like worship in the center of the venue. The real king of the West couldn't wait to go on the court to teach the young pioneers a lesson, so that all the audience could understand who was the king of the West.

However, when the game was about to begin, the Magician still stepped forward friendly and shook hands with Gan Guoyang. Both of them had always had a good relationship off the court. The Magician's smile and affinity made it difficult for ordinary people to reject him.

However, when the game really started, Magic Johnson quickly put away his smile. As soon as the game began, Magic played singles continuously to the basket, either causing fouls or scoring directly.

"Magic, pressing Cauchy on his back, turned around and layup directly! The ball entered! It also caused Sabonis to foul. Trail Blazers Gan and Sabonis each made a foul. Johnson once again stood on the free throw line. Not long after the game began, Johnson had already scored eight points in a row. If this ball hit, it would be the ninth point."

Bill Seanley was still sitting in the old position to explain the game, his voice was still calm, but those who were familiar with him could hear a little nervousness, because the Trail Blazers were beaten 15:3 by the Lakers at the beginning, and Magic Johnson scored 8 points in a row.

In the past, when the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers, the opening game always allowed Jabbar to open up the situation, and then gradually accelerated under the control of the Magicians. In the second and third quarters, Jabbar defeated his opponents with a fast break. However, in the playoffs, Jabbar is no longer the main focus of the Lakers' opening game, especially when playing against the Trail Blazers, Riley understood that even if Jabbar is full of energy at the beginning, he may not be able to get a bargain in the Trail Blazers' inside.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Lakers really killed their opponents with strong offensive firepower from the outside. Magicians, Worthy, Byron Scott took turns to attack their opponents, AC Green and Michael Cooper guaranteed defense, but the opponent couldn't stand it at all. The reason is very simple, the attack power of these three people is too strong.

If Scott or Worthy defended alone in a team, it was not too outrageous to attack, and could not reach the level of Gan Guoyang or Jordan, its comprehensive ability was also in the middle and upper reaches of the entire league, but when the two were combined, especially under the organization of Magic Johnson, the power could be said to be extremely terrifying.

Worthy is good at eating alone on his back, and his shooting percentage is extremely high when close to the basket. Scott is good at shooting and breakthroughs, and has the level of shooting 30 points in the playoffs. The Magician who combined them includes the attack characteristics of these two people, and also has unparalleled passing organization skills. Few teams can afford such an outside offensive combination.

"The Magician hit a free throw, 16:3, Johnson scored 9 points in the first quarter. He seems to be protesting to the league, protesting that he should be the regular season MVP, and I don't know what kind of response Gan would make."

So far, the only score of the Trail Blazers comes from Terry Porter's three-pointer, and Gan Guoyang failed to hit two shots, but the worse thing is that the Lakers have been crazily double-teaming Gan Guoyang from the beginning, so crazy that AC Green began to "hold" Gan Guoyang in addition to three cents, and Byron Scott is on standby at any time.

Gan Guoyang's two shots were shots from the top of the arc and Drexler's pick-and-roll, but whenever he shot, three people would stand in front of him, Green, Wosi Gastek, and Gan Guoyang tried to pass the ball, but the others didn't feel good at the beginning of the game today. For example, after receiving the ball, Caucai forced his breakthrough through Jabbar to make a layup, but the basketball turned around on the basket and fell out again. Drexler received the ball and jumped out at the bottom line. The ball bounced out of the basket. Sabonis missed the hook jump shot from Gan Guoyang.

However, Adelman looked very calm, and Gan Guoyang was also very calm. Every Trail Blazer player had no nervous look at the slightest because they knew that it was normal for their condition to fluctuate. As the game deepened, they would slowly recover their condition.

"Give me an incisive cut." Gan Guoyang whispered to Porter as he served at the bottom line.

The Lakers' defense against Gan Guoyang at the beginning should not be strictly violated. One post can be added to others at any time, one supplement, two supplement or even three supplements. Anyway, Riley's idea is to let others shoot empty shots than let Gan Guoyang find an offensive feeling in singles.

Gan Guoyang had just run through the half, and AC Green posted it again. Although Green's physical fitness was poor, he was very active and tough in defense, which was very suitable for interfering with Gan Guoyang's movements on the outside.

But this time, Gan Guoyang suddenly started and pushed Green away with force, directly inserted into the inside from the right rib. Terry Porter understood it and threw the ball high towards the inside.

"Air relay! Gan dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!" Bill Seanley's voice shouted with the explosive cheers of the fans of the audience. Gan Guoyang unexpectedly cut into the inside line, and saw that Jabbar could not jump up, and cooperated with Porter to complete a beautiful aerial relay.
Chapter completed!
