But as the saying goes, coming without going is not polite, Gan Guoyang plans to find so ti to teach this fat man a lesson, so he can be more restrained on TV.
"In the future, let Grandpa stop watching TV all the ti. Spend more ti with him, play chess or sothing."
"Dad, have you really beco bad at this?"
"Of course not. Dad is still quite good, just not as good as before."
"Could it be because your teammates are too bad?"
As soon as these words ca out, the entire locker room burst into laughter, though there was a hint of awkwardness in the laughter.
It's said that children speak without barriers, so of course no one would bla Gan Wenyi for saying such things.
But likewise, when a kid says such things, it must be because they heard others say it; she doesn't really grasp the concept herself.
Currently, all the major sports dia, as well as the local dia in Las Vegas, are criticizing Gan Guoyang's teammates for being too weak.
The team should cherish Gan Guoyang's pri, make trades, and gather so skilled veterans to form a strong team.
Though Gan Guoyang has clarified many tis that he believes the current lineup is good and full of potential, and everyone should have patience to watch the team grow.
But fans watch gas certainly for the pleasure of winning, and only a small number of people have the patience to watch rookies grow.
Moreover, in a place like Las Vegas, the local population is small, and many fans are tourists, making Glory's ho gas a local tourist attraction.
Most tourists wish for the ho team to win, so Glory performs better at ho than away.
The gas won so far have mostly been at ho; only one was won away, against the Clippers in Los Angeles.
Winning against Clippers is basically considered a giveaway, not really a win by yourself.
"No, everyone is improving, just not as quickly. It's like you're learning; you can't just attend one day and understand all the knowledge. You need to study for a long ti and only at the end-of-term exams will you know your results, right?"
"So when is your end-of-term exam?"
"Playoffs, in another five months."
To Gan Guoyang, watching the players of Glory team grow is just like watching his own children.
Because this is truly his team, belonging to him in the real sense, not like Portland Trail Blazers, where he is a symbol and totem, but Trail Blazers are ultimately not his.
Moreover, as ti goes by, Portland's cri rate is getting higher, and city construction increasingly resembles Los Angeles, sprawling outward like a pancake, making Gan Guoyang less familiar with this city.
The Portland he rembers most vividly remains in the 80s, the era when players could stroll the streets with fans.
Portland once relied on community after community for its city foundation, with a very rich community culture.
Gan Guoyang still keeps in touch with neighbors from the Oswego Lake Mountain Park Community, even though he has beco such a big star, he always retains his ordinary side.
But as the city develops, Portland's communities are gradually disappearing because the foundation for community survival was industrial enterprises, nurous real-world industries, and dense transportation routes.
Nowadays, Portland is developing towards finance, high technology, entertainnt, and sports, akin to so-called Los Angeles-style developnt, with capital becoming more concentrated but the real-world industry population shrinking; industries have moved to other regions or even other countries.
For example, there was once a huge footwear industry in the Portland region, nurturing giants like Nike and Avia.
But with globalization, their factories have all moved to China, where there are lower labor costs and stronger manufacturing capabilities, helping Nike and Avia beco global sports goods giants.
However, if you walk through Portland's streets, aside from advertisents, you won't see anything related to the sneaker industry: factory buildings, raw material production, etc., are no longer here, possibly even design studios aren't here.
This is the brain of the headquarters, a profit concentrate, but its body has dispersed around the world.
This is the current state of Nike, Avia, of Portland, and of Arica; as China joins the WTO, this process will accelerate.
Speaking of Portland, Gan Guoyang flipped through the calendar, realizing the days until his first ga back in Portland are very near.
After finishing tonight's ga, the next one is against Jordan in Seattle, and the one after that is back to Portland.
Although he often tells his family that Portland is no longer suitable for him, and it feels unfamiliar there.
But since the first ga of the new season began, Gan Guoyang has been ntally calculating when he'll return to Portland to play against the Trail Blazers.
As ti gradually approaches, his emotional waves inside grow more intense, and his spoken excuses sound more like a cover-up.
Carrying his daughter out of the locker room and sending her to the stands, Gan Guoyang said to her, "Dad is going back to Portland in a few days. It's just right on Saturday, do you want to co along and visit your brother?"
Gan Wenyi pouted, "No, brother doesn't co to see either."
"I think he's having too much fun in Portland, how about we go over and sort him out together?"
"How to sort?"
"Take Mom with us."
"Okay!"
Father and daughter reached an agreent, regardless of Mom and brother's feelings.
Two hours later, Glory team faces off against the Phoenix Suns at ho.
At the start of this season, the Suns were full of ambition, ready to compete with the many Western Conference powerhouses for dominance.
