Before the finals began, Larry Fleisher left New York for Portland, seeking some finals tickets from Gan Guoyang as a fan.
Gan Guoyang found the team's ticket manager, John White, who always reserved a batch of tickets for Gan Guoyang, about over twenty in total.
As it got to the playoffs, tickets became even tighter, and the number would shrink to a dozen or so.
Of course, this quantity far exceeded that of other players, like Drexler who could only get three tickets.
Gan Guoyang was a person with a comparatively small social circle, especially since he didn't have many relatives like seven aunts and eight uncles.
But a dozen tickets were still not enough, in addition to friends, he often had to give some to businessmen and politicians to maintain everyday relationships.
In the Oregon area, Portland Trail Blazers game tickets were a hot commodity.
However, since it was Fleisher asking, Guoyang would somehow squeeze out some tickets for him no matter what.
