    Two years later, Gan Guoyang and his Blazers stood on the battlefield of the finals for the second time. In the 1986 finals, Gan Guoyang was like a shooting star on the highest stage, extremely dazzling but flying across the field.  The sky, falling due to injuries.  That year, under the leadership of Gan Guoyang, the Trail Blazers broke the Celtics' unbeaten streak at home and won the first game in an upset. After that, they lost four games in a row, which meant that they were defeated by the Celtics in all three games at the Memorial Stadium.  The Celtics defeated the Celtics, and the third game was the closest. At that time, Drexler shouldered the burden and scored 37 points in a single game. However, without the backbone, the Trail Blazers still won 94:97 with three points.  They lost the first game at home due to their disadvantage, and then they plummeted and watched the Celtics reach the top in the away game.  Therefore, this game can be said to be Gan Guoyang's first time playing the finals at home. Recalling his mood after he was diagnosed with an injury after the game in 1986, he still can't let it go until now. Afterwards, he sat in front of the TV and watched  When his team was ravaged by the Celtics and lost the championship, he smashed the TV set.  Now, after 87 years of recuperation, 1988's failure, and numerous major and minor events since the 1989 playoffs, Gan Guoyang stood on this field, looking up at the only championship banner on the top of the stadium. For a moment,  Emotionally.  Gan Guoyang couldn't help but think of what Bill Walton once said to him, "Study as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow." This was given by Bill Walton's teacher John Wooden.  Bill Walton's words were later shared by Walton to Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang was an out-and-out executor of these words. On his road to the ultimate, he had never stopped learning, nor was he prepared to stop learning.  Just like tomorrow he will die.  And what he has done is not just as simple as "getting a championship". What he wants is not only the euphoria of getting first place and the honor and money that comes with it, but also to prove that  Himself, prove the significance of his existence in this time and space, prove that he can get back what he has lost, and prove that those who have questioned, criticized, and attacked him are all wrong.  Just when Gan Guoyang was lost in his own thoughts, Isiah Thomas walked over with the ball in his arms. He had a sweet smile as always on his face, and his big eyes looked harmless.  When any Pistons player walks toward someone else, other players will subconsciously be on guard. Even if the game hasn't started yet, Gan Guoyang is no exception. He jumped out of his own thinking and looked at Thomas walking over.  Thomas walked up to Gan Guoyang, and the smile on his face became thicker. He stretched out his hand and said to Gan Guoyang with a smile: "As an NBA player, I support you unconditionally. Sports should not be involved in politics. Play well and don't divide."  "My heart, this will be the only time I support you." Gan Guoyang was obviously a little surprised by what Thomas said, but he still extended his hand, and the two shook hands gently, and then quickly returned to their respective halves.  , perhaps Thomas, who has experienced similar things, can indeed better understand Gan Guoyang's situation and mood at this time, and can also give him more understanding.  But when it comes to code, neither Gan Guoyang nor Thomas will show mercy to the other party on the court because of this handshake. Needless to say, Thomas is known as the "Smiling Assassin". Hidden under his smile is a heart that kills the enemy.  heart, but Gan Guoyang is determined and never shows any mercy to his opponents.  "Dear listeners, my name is Bill Shaunley, today is June 5, 1989, and I am here at the Portland Memorial Coliseum to provide you with live commentary of the 1989 NBA Finals. It has been two years without you.  I'm very sorry for bringing the commentary of the Finals, but now, it's time to join me in enjoying the performance that the Trail Blazers brought to us on the Finals stage." Bill Shaunley had already started to broadcast live, and at this time.  The players on the field also started the entrance ceremony. Compared with 1986, the entrance ceremony of the finals at this time became much more fancy. After a brief introduction to the visiting team players, the lights were turned off and only one light was illuminated.  Inside, the Portland Trail Blazers players entering the stadium were illuminated. Under the high-pitched tones of the DJ, the five starting players from the Trail Blazers came on stage one after another. When the last player, Gan Guoyang, came to the court, the DJ's voice reached its highest level.  The home fans once again gave the city hero warm applause and cheers.  "The Detroit Pistons will start with center Bill Laimbeer, power forward Rick Mahon, small forward Dennis Rodman, shooting guard Joe Dumars, and point guard Isiah Thomas. The Trail Blazers will start with center  Sabonis, power forward Gan, small forward Jerome Causey, shooting guard Drexler, point guard Terry Porter, tonight's referees are Jace Causey, Jack Madden and Jack  -O'Daniel. Okay, the players on both sides are ready, the game is about to begin!" The finals are finally about to begin!The two players have been fighting for a season. This will be the final series of life and death. Those who fall can only start from scratch, and only those who survive can reach the end alone.  The referee threw the ball into the air, and Sabonis and Laimbeer took off at the same time. Although it is really boring for two white people to compare bounces, Sabonis still touched the ball first with his taller height and better bounce.  .  "The Trail Blazers had the ball. Gan got the ball. He passed it to Terry Porter. Porter ran wildly with the ball and shot directly from outside the three-point line!" The players on both sides were not ready yet. Terry Porter  He's already holding the ball and shooting three-pointers from the outside. Even Shaunley, who has commented on countless Trail Blazers games, is still a little unprepared for Porter's emergency three-pointers.  However, offensive methods like Porter's are already part of the Blazers' normal offensive methods. Every player in the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers trains to death. Porter's shooting talent is actually average. When he first joined the Trail Blazers, he trained every day.  At least he would be ridiculed by Gan Guoyang for not shooting twenty times - five times less than Drexler.  Because Drexler takes the all-around route, he is still anxious about shooting. Porter knows that his other talents cannot keep up with the glider, so he practices shooting like crazy, especially three-pointers.  After Adelman took office, Porter's hard work on shooting finally came to fruition and became the strongest shooting point for the Trail Blazers from the outside. Such emergency three-pointers in transition between offense and defense are his unique skills.  "Whoosh!" Porter's three-point line had a small arc and was extremely fast. The ball flew into the net from the center of the basket, and the Trail Blazers scored the first ball!  3:0!  With this ball, Isiah Thomas, who was guarding Porter, had already put his hand on Porter's face, but he still couldn't prevent Porter from making a shot.  "Yeah!" The atmosphere in the Memorial Stadium reached a climax from the beginning. After the Trail Blazers eliminated the Lakers, the Porters have been looking forward to this finals, and a three-pointer made them burst into applause.  "Terry Porter's three-pointer gave the Trail Blazers the lead. Let's look at the Detroit Pistons' counterattack. Isiah Thomas controlled the ball and broke through the middle. However, the middle was blocked by Gan and passed back to  Laimbeer, Laimbeer screened Dumas, Dumas went around the baseline to catch the ball and made a jumper. Joe Dumas' 18-foot jumper. "The Pistons are a very balanced team on the offensive end, with three shots in the backcourt.  He has a strong personal scoring ability, and although the inside players are mainly blue-collar violent men, if the opponent dares to relax their supervision on the defensive end, they will also score goals to make you look good, so how to defend the Pistons is a matter for all teams.  They have to face big problems, they are too balanced.  "Porter took the ball and faced Thomas with his back from outside the three-point line. He squeezed in and Gan came out to cover, but Porter did not go in. He passed the ball to Gan. Gan singled out Rick Mahorn, but  Gan passed the ball to Sabonis in the high post, Sabonis immediately passed the ball to the baseline, Porter received the ball, and Porter made a three-pointer from the baseline! " Terry Porter once again shot a three-pointer. This time he made a three-pointer!  After passing the ball to Gan Guoyang from the left, he slipped directly from the baseline to the back corner. Then Gan Guoyang, Sabonis, and Porter formed a big triangle. Sabonis used his keen observation ability to discover Porter's opportunity at the baseline.  A clever pass. After receiving the ball, Porter made another three-point shot. The ball hit the basket and finally fell into the net, the second three-pointer!  6:2!  The Pistons never expected that the focus of the Blazers' offense would fall on Terry Porter in the opening game. Dennis Rodman, the Pistons' perimeter defender, had always focused his attention on Gan Guoyang and was ready to defend Gan Guoyang at any time.  Porter is missing this time. Thomas suffers from height and strength. He is good at stalking the defense, but once the defensive movement is not timely, he will be slapped in the face.  Porter's three-pointer had just hit, and the Pistons players were obviously a little confused. As a result, Rick Mahon's serve from the outside was intercepted by Jerome Causey. Causey immediately passed the ball to the outside and ran over to catch the ball.  Thomas began to pester him, and Porter moved the ball to the center. Drexler caught the ball, but the ball was out of his hands. Drexler immediately moved the ball 45 degrees to the left, and it was Gan Guoyang who followed.  !  "Gan shoots the ball from outside the three-point line!" The arc of Gan Guoyang's shot is different from Porter's fast and straight shot. Gan Guoyang's shot is extremely fast, but the arc is very high, so every time his ball flies to the basket, it always makes  The audience's eyes were fixed in the air for a long time.  "Gan's three-pointerhe made it! Gan made this three-pointer, the Trail Blazers' third three-pointer after the start!" Amid huge cheers, Gan Guoyang raised his right hand high and made  A three-point mark, the Portland Trail Blazers, full of momentum.
