    People who lived in the United States in the 1980s may have learned a lot of news in China earlier and faster than many Chinese people. First of all, the media industry in the United States was developed. Every household had TV and radio, and the newspaper industry was also very prosperous.  , In comparison, China's media industry at that time was still quite backward. In many places, there may not even be radio, let alone television. In some rural areas, there was only one radio per village; newspapers, illustrated magazines, etc. were scarce in number and not many types.  Secondly, China has relatively strict media control, and the official control is unified. This is different in the United States. Although media control in the United States is also ubiquitous, the large number of private media and a loose public opinion environment allow people to immerse themselves in various media every day.  in a sea of ??news.  As a person from the Internet age of the 21st century, Gan Guoyang came to the United States in the 1980s and occasionally lamented that the country had too much news of all kinds every day. No wonder the network technology of the Ministry of Defense was used to spread news for civilians, newspapers and  The TV can no longer bear it.  During his many years in the United States, Gan Guoyang paid attention to domestic news in China every day. He knew that new changes were taking place in China every day, and new problems were constantly emerging. Gan Guoyang looked at his motherland and hometown.  A little bit of change, even if there is a concern in my heart.  By 1989, Gan Guoyang also knew that something was bound to happen. When he returned home after playing the game on the 23rd, and heard what Wang Fuxi said, he knew that what was supposed to come would always come, and his time travel could not change anything.  Gan Guoyang immediately turned on the TV and tuned it to the international news channel, then opened the newspaper on the sofa and started looking for it. The American time was April 23rd, and the Chinese time was April 22nd, and on April 15th,  That is, when the recording incident first broke out, Gan Guoyang was so worried about this moment that he did not notice that there was an obituary about the Chinese leader in a small section of the Oregonian newspaper.  On April 22, Beijing time, China's Xinhua News Agency issued a formal notice to overseas media. Wang Fuxi, who was far away in the United States, saw this news report and related reports after returning home. However, on the contrary, domestic people did not  No relevant information was received.  At the same time, on the news broadcast on the evening of April 22nd, Beijing time, obituaries about leaders were broadcast twice in a row. There was confusion in time and order. Doubts arose for a while, and soon commemorative activities began to occur in various universities.  The activity itself has a strong sense of catharsis.  Gan Guoyang has roughly learned about these things through American newspapers, and they have also been roughly reported on American TV stations. From the perspective of Americans, this is the death of the leader of an important country, nothing more, and only Gan Guoyang knows it in his heart.  , what kind of storm will soon sweep across.  It¡¯s just that Gan Guoyang can¡¯t control so much anymore. He can¡¯t change things like this. He must devote all his energy to the upcoming NBA playoffs.  April 23 is the last game day of the entire regular season. The game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sacramento Kings is the last game of the last game day. However, this game has no impact on the Western Conference playoff rankings.  , the Trail Blazers have already locked in the league's first position. In the first round, they will face the eighth-ranked Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference.  Ranked third in the Western Conference is the Los Angeles Lakers with 56 wins and 26 losses. Although their record is second in the Western Conference, they are ranked third because they are in the same division as the Trail Blazers.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's complete aging this season, the lack of new players, and two consecutive Finals losses have made the Lakers somewhat powerless. Although Magic Johnson has played a historic season personal performance, he cannot change the overall decline and fatigue of the Lakers.  , the fact that they are aging, but their kingly spirit of dominating the Western Conference for many years, the team's rich game experience, and the magician who has reached the peak of personal ability all allow the Lakers to continue to maintain strong championship competitiveness.  The Lakers will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round. The Nuggets have kept their core lineup unchanged for many years. English still has the style of the scoring champion, and Fat Leaf has grown into an all-around king in the backcourt. However,  Calvin Knight was plagued by injuries and only played 14 games throughout the season. They acquired Alvan Adams in the paint, but it did not bring qualitative changes to the Nuggets. After passing their peak in the mid-1980s, they subsequently  As the league's overall defensive level and defensive quality continue to rise, the Nuggets, which rely on smooth offense as their competitiveness, are inevitably in decline.  The Utah Jazz slowly began to rise. After trading away their scoring leader and black hole Dantley, the Jazz began to build a team around Malone-Stockton. Sloan's appointment opened the door to a team that lacked talent.  The Plateau team injected tactics, teamwork and defensive concepts. A strong and durable Utah Jazz began to gradually enter the ranks of the Western Conference. Of course, they still have a long way to go. 51 wins and 31 losses is the Utah Jazz's best record since the team was founded.  Good results, second place in the Western Conference is the highest ranking they have ever had.  And JazzThe opponent is the Houston Rockets again. The grudges and grudges in the 1985 playoffs have not yet been resolved, but both teams have changed. Only Olajuwon is left in the Rockets twin towers, while the Jazz twin towers are still there.  But it is no longer Sloan's favorite tactic. Due to the arrival of Gan Guoyang, Olajuwon will start a head-on confrontation with Karl Malone in advance.  The most intense confrontation in the first round is not between the Jazz and the Rockets, but the competition for the fourth and fifth positions between the Phoenix Suns and the Seattle SuperSonics. Coincidentally, the current main power forward of the Phoenix Suns is the one they just played in the summer.  Tom Chambers was hired from the SuperSonics. Chambers certainly didn't expect to meet his old team in the playoffs so soon.  The Phoenix Suns have made huge improvements through trades and free agent signings. However, they should have been third in the Western Conference in terms of record, but because they were in the Pacific Division with the Trail Blazers and Lakers, they had to settle for fourth in the Western Conference.  , they have to face the fifth-ranked team in the first round, and are likely to face the No. 1 team in the Western Conference in the second round.  There are two teams, one is strong in attack and the other is defensive. This is also the matchup that Gan Guoyang is most concerned about besides his own series. The winner of No. 4 and No. 5 will compete with the winner of No. 18 in the semi-finals.  In comparison, the showdown in the Eastern Conference is definitely more embarrassing. The Detroit Pistons exerted their strength in the second half of the game and hit a winning streak, surpassing the Cleveland Cavaliers in one fell swoop and ranking first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses.  Their opponent in the first round turned out to be the Boston Celtics, who had blocked their progress for many years.  Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. In the NBA, the time span can be changed to three years, three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi. The once dominant Boston Celtics have also fallen under the erosion of time and injuries.  The arrival of Len Bias only extended the Celtics' glory for one season. Due to his serious back injury, Bird only played six games throughout the season. Although Len Bias performed well, he was far from the best.  He has not reached the level where he can replace Bird, and he also has to face the temptation of drugs. There is still a long way to go.  In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers lacked stamina and failed to outrun the onrushing Pistons, and were ranked third due to division reasons. Their luck was indeed not very good, because they would face the Cavaliers in the first round.  It's the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan. Although the Bulls are only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, as long as Jordan is there, even if they are ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, the No. 1 team will never dare to take it lightly.  The New York Knicks are thriving under the leadership of the rapidly growing Ewing. Ewing has also performed like a superstar this season, averaging 22.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game. He was the last one to achieve this level.  The Knicks player is still Willis Reed, but under the light of Gan Guoyang, the performance of any center pales in comparison. What's more, in New York, where the media is harsh and harsh, Ewing is often compared with Gan Guoyang, and then criticized as useless.  , which made Ewing feel even more pressure.  Also feeling the pressure is Charles Barkley. Malone left and Dr. J retired. Barkley finally became the well-deserved leader of this 76ers team. His personal performance was also speechless, averaging 25 points and 12.5 goals per game.  His rebounding performance makes it impossible to imagine that this is a 6-foot-6 player, but in terms of being a leader, Fatty Ba undoubtedly still has a long way to go. His violent temper also makes him the most fouled player in the world.  The leader of the team, and he didn't have a decent helper around him. The 1983 championship veteran only had Cheeks left, and the newcomers had no capable players, so they could only squeeze into the playoffs.  The Hawks and Bucks are an animal showdown, two teams that play defense to the point of being ugly. In ESPN's pre-match predictions, this round of showdown received the least attention, even from Dominique Wilkins.  It is also unable to boost the ratings of the game between the two teams.  The situation in the playoffs is like this. Gan Guoyang is no longer the guy who didn't even look at the schedule in the past. Now he will carefully study each round of matchups and contribute to the road to the championship. But after a general understanding of these  , Gan Guoyang still couldn't calm down in his heart. He didn't know what kind of impact the coming storm would have on him.  "Fuxi, I'm going for a walk." Gan Guoyang suddenly picked up his clothes and said to Wang Fuxi after watching the playoff matchup map.  "It's so late, don't you want to have a good rest? Where else are you going?" "I'm just walking around and will be back soon." After saying that, Gan Guoyang put on his coat and walked out of the house.
