many Americans political enthusiasm does not seem high

However, when Aaltonen with mean perturbed walking out from the tunnel, along with the dazzling light, his ears rang very warm applause from the audience, and the huge cheers, many fans fans see Aaltonen come out, have raised with huge placards reading "we and some you", some write "let all the plot to get out of", some said "please politics out of sport". Five years along with feelings, five years Aaltonen to Portland people happy, surprise and moved, for five years he was the team and the city of the honor, for five years he was all Portland people, Oregon people made in sports contribution, are not a so-called "political mistake" can to obliterate. Even if Aaltonen has been reluctant to accept the American nationality, is not willing to become an honorary citizen of Portland, but he has already become a part of the city, Aaltonen in the mist shrouded morning run in the streets of Portland pictures, has become a symbol of the city. In fact, many Americans political enthusiasm does not seem high, the word Aaltonen want to say also very to, "Chinese things, should by the Chinese people themselves to judge and choice, don't need a foreigner was gesticulating." They just want to see Aaltonen playing basketball, bring a championship for them. At this time, Adelman walked behind Aaltonen, patted his shoulder and said: "good refueling, Portland people love you, don't let them down."

Now, defending the opportunity in front of them

Of course, the piston of the Eastern Conference finals are also very difficult, the first game, two in a row under g the dark horse of the Chicago bulls in the palace of Auburn Hills to shock 94:88 win over the pistons, Michael - Jordan 32 points and 11 rebounds potential pressure game, the bulls start. Then the piston second home natural is not lost, 100:91 with ease, but third, arrived in Chicago, Jordan's Avatar Michael single market 26 throw in 16 scored 46 points, Lectra piston in the home, a 2:1 series lead, moment let people see the Chicago finals hope. However, the piston at this point has been fully recovered, three games that followed, they completely locked Jordan No. 23, did not give an opportunity to save the world, the pistons won three games in a row, bull sent to go fishing. Now, defending the opportunity in front of them, they certainly don't want to miss the opportunity to establish dynasty. The piston players arrived early at the Memorial Stadium began to adapt to the site of the warm-up training, all the piston players looked full of confidence, the experience of the title, the mighty regular season, playoff automatics and good team atmosphere, let the piston players the most terrible no timid this alliance at home, not to mention now key players opponents also fell into the bad * *. These bad boys, even came to the stadium in the assumption of Aaltonen by the audience boos, and loss of confidence in this fight, will champion submissively vacates. In fact, Aaltonen has the similar worry, he may not care about the media criticism, may not care about the other state fans did not support him, but he couldn't care less Portland fans attitude, if Portland did not support him, that he was in the city, the team still struggle?

Ok, so tonight let, kicking the opponent's ass.!

"It should be and those guys say clearly! You have a look, have a look, look forward to the national survey of American champion, only Oregon and California hope we win, other should support all of Detroit! It was incredible, aren't we than the bad guy is bad?" The investigation of Cauchy holding a newspaper carried out, after June 3rd, the people of California the nation's only Portland located in Oregon and Aaltonen had been living support the Blazers, others prefer to support the pistons are reluctant to support the blazers. "Some things, if you can tell, there would be no more war." Said Drexler, watching the book, this guy in the big game before, always like to take a book in the locker room at. "We are running into a glider philosopher! Ha ha, but Clyde is right, there are some things, do not need to explain, the two day they come every day to interview, in fact, is to find fault, we want to take the championship, let those guys all get out!" Buck Williams said loudly, his ideas and Aaltonen run in the same groove. Aaltonen suddenly feel a little touched, maybe basketball players are really simple, being discriminated against them will be angry, sabotage, but his teammates being bullied, especially the boss was the media criticism, all automatic station on the Aaltonen side, there is no reason, do not speak the political stance. "Ok, so tonight let, kicking the opponent's ass.!" In late June 5, 1989, NBA total final curtain opened, after 82 games of the regular season and playoffs fight three rounds of elimination, this season the best two teams -- the Portland Trail Blazers and the Detroit pistons finally stand on the highest stage, to the highest honor desperate. The Detroit pistons beat Jordan led the Chicago bulls in the Eastern Conference finals 4:2, for second consecutive years to reach the finals, only one step away from the distance the defending.

Thus, in through the chaos and bad two days later

Moreover, Aaltonen actually have nothing to do, just in the media world, he offended some people, some people also watched him annoyed, plus most of the people are not too big for fun things, so he was so involved in the vortex of the storm. So, Aaltonen realize soberly, want to let those guys all shut up, the best way is to get the champion, the defense lawyer will have. When his table neither money all Hui call, ask Aaltonen to open a press conference to clarify when do, Aaltonen rejected her, he said that "some of the problems that don't know, I only got the champion, will get the right to speak, and now all Dou Zaixing's head and said nothing was wrong." Thus, in through the chaos and bad two days later, Aaltonen finally and the Portland Trail Blazers, ready to begin their eighty's second trip to the finals, the playoff history on this eventful, they are all the way, carrying a sword came to the throne and, now, they want to do, is to kill the opposite the team, wearing a crown, boarded the throne of the highest in the league. "Good evening, everybody's tonight, it seems not so good?" When Aaltonen came to the memorial gym locker room he could see that we look a little strange. "Sweet, outside the news we have heard, those damn reporters, like to make some mess of news, I don't know what to say, gently shake head so serious?" Jerome - Cauchy has been fast, this two days he was old reporter mentioned related issues, and of his political not interested at all. "It seems very serious in some people, in fact, I just want to refuse to answer his question." Aaltonen laughed and said.

All 1987 Thomas experience also are vivid

But such criticism beyond count, even in the June 5th finals, this day is about to begin, Aaltonen just turn on the TV, read newspapers, can see to his discussion -- a week ago, is about basketball, a week later, is about politics. Early in the playoffs when just beginning, Aaltonen was involved in a similar incident, recording events make the whole Trail Blazers and shake the morale of the troops, but on a different, the last time Aaltonen was a victim of, all the people stood in the Aaltonen side, Aaltonen needs to solve the internal problems, is the problem of unity pioneer the. This time is different, almost all the people stood in the opposite of their own. However, Aaltonen's heart was pretty calm, even in an interview that moment suddenly broke, Aaltonen also did not panic, he has to understand, treat this matter, he can do, is to do nothing. All 1987 Thomas experience also are vivid, news interpretation conference Thomas stubborn, Byrd left him in a television program on the Thomas a full face of helpless and face frustration, when he was almost and against the world. And in 1988 Thomas won with a leg wound single node chopped the next 25 points, he again to become the American basketball hero, from the later Aaltonen also know that with the passage of time, a known as the "hero" of the people, his image will be more and more brilliant, the body of the stain will become less; and is considered to be a bad guy, you will really like broken rotten eggs, more and more bad, some of this does not belong to his dirty water will be poured into his lap.

But, all in all in one night completely changed

A person, can withstand much praise, have to withstand much slander. For Aaltonen, after June 3rd to the finals of the two days, opinion he experienced from heaven to hell gap, just the end of the Western Conference finals, he is the nation's most hot star, the color of his skin, his nationality is entirely ignored, he in the push gods in general performance, creating the history of the playoffs single 65 points, the MVP regular season, the best record in history, the best defensive player, rebounder, a halo around him in his glory and superimposed layers, basketball has been incapable of further increase, as the 1986 Larry Byrd, the 1983 Mose - Malone. But, all in all in one night completely changed, Aaltonen in an interview after the end of the training, answer reporters' questions, silent and shook his head shot, was broadcast in each big television, also not to criticize these years. Now, many late night TV in the discussion of the incident, the criticism of the Aaltonen behavior, which not only is reminiscent of 1987 after Thomas agreed with Rodman on the "Byrd if not white is just an ordinary player" argument, the sports circles of the smiling assassin condemn both in speech and in writing. In American, two problems are very sensitive, a race is, two is free, endorsed Thomas is considered in favor of racial antagonism, and Aaltonen's "negative" is in denial of the freedom of the people -- even if the people are not the American people. "In USA eight years does not seem to change the Chinese internal gene, in the land of the free, but he did not go to compassion for his fellow, I had doubts about the player's personality, and why he refused to join the USA nationality." This is all criticism of Aaltonen in one, is not malicious, seemingly insipid, helpless tone, is an impressive and deep talk.

He dropped it into the! Gan dropped into the three division

"Potter gets the ball in three from beyond the arc back body to face Thomas, pushing, Gan out do cover, but Potter did not go inside, he threw the ball to Gan, Gan singles Rick Ma Hong, but Mr. ball for high Sabonis, Sabonis immediately pass to the bottom line, Potter ball, Potter bottom line in the three point shots!" Terry Potter once again threw three points, after which a ball he gave Aaltonen on the left side pass, directly from the bottom line slipped to the rear corner, then Aaltonen, Sabonis and Potter formed a triangle, Sabonis found Potter at the bottom line of the opportunity to use his keen powers of observation, clever pass, Potter the ball again after three shots, the ball is hit in the basket, finally caught in the net, second three! 6:2! The piston is absolutely did not expect, opening the Blazers offense focus will fall on the Terry - Potter, Denis - defensive big brake piston outside Rodman has turned his attention on the Aaltonen who, at any time to fill Aaltonen, this can be missed Potter, Thomas at the height of power all suffer, he is good at sticking attached to the anti type, but once the defensive runs not timely was * *. Potter has just hit three points, the piston players apparently some ignorant, Rick Ma Hong on the perimeter and results serve was Jerome - Cauchy broke down, Cauchy immediately pass to the outside, ran to catch the ball, this time Thomas began to hang him, Potter then moved the ball to the Middle Road, Drexler ball, the ball left Drexler once again, move it to the left 45 degrees, to keep up with the Aaltonen! "Sweet three from beyond the arc ball shot!" Aaltonen shot arcs and Potter quick, straight is different, Aaltonen moves extremely fast, but the arc is very high, so every time his ball the basket, can let the audience eyes stared at the sky for a long time. "Three minutes of gansu...... He dropped it into the! Gan dropped into the three division, third pioneer after the opening of the three ball!" In the huge cheers, Aaltonen holds up his right hand to make a three point mark, the Portland Trail Blazers, momentum rainbow.
