Gan Guoyang could no longer remember how many times he had seen Portland fans at the airport, lining the plaza and roads to welcome him.
Over the past sixteen years, every time they came back from an away game in the Finals, the passionate fans would always gather near the airport to greet them.
Especially on those nights when they brought the championship home from the road, the area around the airport would be a sea of people, bright as day, with the city partying till dawn for victory, for the title.
In those first two championships in 1986 and 1987, Gan Guoyang would rip off his shirt and charge into the crowd, celebrating the trophy and the win together with the crazed fans.
Back then, Gan Guoyang was still very young, only in his twenties, handsome and dashing, with boundless energy. All the women in Portland loved him, including many married women; they all wanted to have an affair with Ah Gan.
