    In the end, the paper did not cover the fire. The news that Gan Guoyang was forcibly kissed by a female fan in the subway station reached Wang Fuxi's ears. The result was that Gan Guoyang was fined for three consecutive shots in one night. If it were not for the approaching Western Conference finals, Wang Fuxi  If you decide to let Gan Guoyang go, then on the match day, Gan Guoyang may surrender without even playing.  This episode did not change Gan Guoyang's good mood. As it was officially announced that Gan Guoyang won the regular season MVP, calls and emails from all parties flooded in, including congratulations from relatives and friends, blessings from fans, and messages from some large companies.  The advertising invitation letter came, like Coca-Cola had already submitted their next contract to Gan Guoyang.  Gan Guoyang left all this to David Falke. Anyway, Falke can't interfere with Gan Guoyang's core investment business now. He can still handle these small businesses. Then Gan Guoyang will focus on the Western Conference Finals.  Well, Gan Guoyang didn't want to be slapped in the face by the Lakers at home immediately 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 excessively nor talked much about how radiant his face was, but reminded Gan Guoyang to be modest and cautious.  The higher someone climbs, the more painful they fall.  After so many years, Gan Youwei has never caused any trouble to Gan Guoyang because of money issues. He has always emphasized that he has skills and skills, and his salary is not low. He can fully support himself and live a good life, so he never  A request to raise money from Gan Guoyang.  Not only that, no matter how famous Gan Guoyang is now, how much influence and how much money he has, in Gan Youwei's eyes, Gan Guoyang is the son who needs care and love at that moment. This father gave him the careful love of traditional Chinese parents.  Gan Guoyang provided great moral support.  Therefore, Gan Guoyang decided to invite Gan Youwei to attend the MVP award ceremony in person on May 20. He wanted to express his gratitude to his father in front of everyone.  But Gan Youwei thought it over and rejected Gan Guoyang's proposal. This simple father didn't like the dazzling and sensational scenes of the NBA, nor did he like to show his feelings in front of too many people. In his words, "I  I am very happy to be able to see my son on TV. "For Gan Youwei, he is really satisfied to be able to see Gan Guoyang on TV. Sometimes he is very happy in his heart, thinking.  Although my son works far away in Portland, he is a basketball player and a big star. He can often be on TV and I can see him on TV, which is very satisfying.  Soon, on May 20, Gan Youwei was satisfied again. Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, league president David Stern personally presented the regular season MVP trophy to Gan Guoyang. Gan Guoyang received more than 20,000 votes in the Memorial Stadium.  Amid the attention, cheers and applause of the audience, the "Maurice Podoloff" Cup was raised high. This is a trophy named after the first president of the NBA. Gan Guoyang also became the second person to win this cup.  Trail Blazers players with trophy.  Gan Guoyang stood in the center of the arena. He had long been accustomed to the dazzling lights and deafening cheers, and had learned to enjoy the glory. But he could also feel the heavy weight on his right hand. The regular season MVP trophy was not that easy to get.  In NBA history, having an MVP for a team means that they have the best players, but having a championship can prove that they are the strongest team. Counting from 1969 (leaving aside the boring and long Kyle 69 years ago)  Special Era), in the 20 years to 1989, a total of 20 regular season MVPs were born, but only 7 of them won the championship that year. The others either fell in the finals or were on the way to the finals.  There was a lot of debris on the road.  At this time, Gan Guoyang, who had received the trophy, was feeling the praise from all directions, but he truly felt the weight of this heavy award, especially when he saw Magic Johnson sitting in the audience and watching the entire ceremony.  This MVP originally belonged to Magic Johnson. In terms of personal performance, Johnson is no worse than Gan Guoyang. However, the Trail Blazers' record is so outstanding, the best in history. Coupled with the occurrence of discrimination incidents, Gan Guoyang can be said to be the winner of this MVP.  It is also a decision that the league must make. They can no longer bear the criticism.  However, for players, especially superstars who are extremely competitive, they will always be the MVP in their hearts, and Magic Johnson is no exception. He looked a little impatient while sitting on the stool and kept talking to the people around him.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spoke. He no longer wanted to watch Gan Guoyang receive king-like worship in the center of the field. The real king of the Western Conference couldn't wait to go on the field and teach the young Blazers a lesson, letting all the audience understand who is the king of the Western Conference.  king.  However, when the game was actually about to begin, Magic still stepped forward to shake hands with Gan Guoyang in a friendly manner. The two of them had always had a good relationship off the court, and Magic's smile and cordialityHis strength makes 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 started, Magic hit the basket with consecutive singles, either causing a foul or scoring directly.  "Magic, pressed Kesi with his back and walked in, turned around and went straight for a layup! The ball went in! It also caused a foul on Sabonis. The Blazers Gan and Sabonis each paid a foul. Johnson once again stood on the free throw line, and the game  Not long after the start, Johnson had already scored eight points in a row. If this ball hits, it will be the ninth point. "Bill Shaunley still sat in his old position and explained the game. His voice was still calm, but people who are familiar with him can tell.  There was a trace of nervousness, because the Trail Blazers were beaten 15:3 by the Lakers in the opening game, and Magic Johnson scored 8 points in a row.  In the past, when the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers, they always let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar open the game at the beginning, and then gradually accelerated under Magic's control, using fast breaks to overwhelm their opponents in the second and third quarters. However, in the playoffs, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar no longer  Then there is the Lakers' main opening, especially when playing against the Trail Blazers. Riley understands that even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a strong opening, he may not be able to get an advantage inside the Trail Blazers.  In the first two rounds of the playoffs, what the Lakers really killed their opponents was their strong offensive firepower from the outside. Magic, Worthy, and Byron Scott took turns attacking their opponents, AC Green and Michael Cooper.  Guaranteed defense, the opponent simply can't hold on, the reason is very simple, the attack power of these three people is too strong.  If Scott or Worthy alone can't defend a team's offense, it's not too bad. They can't reach the level of Gan Guoyang or Jordan. Their comprehensive ability is in the middle and upper reaches of the entire league, but when  The combination of the two, especially under the organization of Magic Johnson, can be said to be extremely terrifying.  Worthy is good at posting up and alone, and has a very high shooting percentage when close to the basket. Scott is good at shooting and breakthrough, and he is capable of scoring 30 points in the playoffs. The magician who combines them includes  The offensive characteristics of these two people, as well as their unparalleled passing organization ability, few teams can handle such an outside offensive combination.  "Magic made a free throw, 16:3. Johnson had already scored 9 points in the first quarter. He seemed to be protesting to the league that he should be the regular season MVP. I don't know what kind of response Gan would make."  So far, the Blazers' only score came from Terry Porter's three-pointer, and Gan Guoyang missed both shots. But what's even worse is that the Lakers double-teamed Gan Guoyang from the beginning, so crazy that AC  - Green started "carrying" Gan Guoyang inside three points away, and Byron Scott was on standby at any time.  Gan Guoyang's two shots were both from the top of the arc and behind a pick-and-roll with Drexler. But every time he shot, there would be three people standing in front of him, Green, Wojciech Stek, and Gan Guoyang trying to pass the ball.  But everyone else had a bad start today. For example, after receiving the ball, Kexi forced a breakthrough through Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for a layup. As a result, the basketball turned around and fell out of the basket. Drexler caught the ball from the baseline and shot a jumper.  , the ball bounced out of the basket, and Sabonis received a pass from Gan Guoyang and missed a hook jump shot.  However, Adelman looked very calm, and Gan Guoyang was also very calm. There was no nervousness on the face of every Trail Blazers player, because they knew that it is normal for the state to have ups and downs. As the game progresses,  If they go deeper, they will slowly regain their status.  "Give me an inside cut." Gan Guoyang whispered to Porter while serving from the baseline.  The Lakers' defense against Gan Guoyang in the opening game must be tight. If one post is made, others can come up to make up for it at any time. One, two, or even three. Anyway, Riley's idea is that he would rather let others open for shots and score.  Don't let Gan Guoyang find his offensive feeling in singles.  As soon as Gan Guoyang ran past half-court, AC Green came up again. Although Green was much inferior to Gan Guoyang in physical fitness, he was active and tenacious in defense and was very suitable for interfering with Gan Guoyang's movement from the outside.  But this time, Gan Guoyang suddenly started, pushed Green away, and inserted directly into the inside from the right side of the ribs. Terry Porter understood it and threw the ball high to the inside.  "Alley-oop! Gan dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!" Bill Shaunley's voice shouted with the explosive cheers of the fans. Gan Guoyang unexpectedly cut into the paint and saw that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could not jump.  Cooperated with Porter to complete a beautiful alley-oop.  After scoring the goal, Gan Guoyang waved his fist vigorously, seemingly announcing to the Lakers that the Trail Blazers would be back soon.
