Before their Eastern road trip next week, the Trail Blazers had to host two visiting Eastern Conference teams at home, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers.
During the last Eastern road trip, Gan Guoyang stirred up trouble on the East Coast, furiously elbowing Moses Malone in Philadelphia, leaving the league's most popular superstar center with a cut eyebrow.
Looking across the league, there were very few who dared to draw blood from Moses Malone's head with an elbow. This seemingly quiet and short center was one of the toughest players in the league.
