The hotel where the players stayed was supposed to be a secret, but the news of Gan Guoyang returning to Portland couldn't be kept under wraps.
Many fans and locals camped outside the hotel where the Glory Team was staying, hoping to get closer to Gan Guoyang.
Some held banners hoping Gan Guoyang could see them, with sayings like: "Portland needs you."
Others said: "Come back and bring another championship."
And one said: "Kobe is an idiot, come back and fix him up."
Gan Guoyang looked at those banners, finding them laughable yet touching; he wanted to come back, but it was impossible now.
Nowadays, the Trail Blazers are Nike's assets. After years of cooperation, Avia and Nike have entered a state of full competition.
Kobe's contract with Adidas will soon expire; if he stays with the Trail Blazers, he will undoubtedly sign with Nike.
