Chapter 54: The Extreme

```

The Trail Blazers' charter flight landed at Portland Airport on the morning of May 27.

This was a red-eye flight; they didn't stay in Los Angeles for long, heading to the airport immediately after the second game ended and flew back overnight.

The players all looked exhausted. Losing the game had soured everyone's mood, especially since the second bout was a crushing defeat.

This was the Trail Blazers' most painful playoff loss since Gan Guoyang had entered the league in 1984.

From the time they left the Great Western Forum until they landed at Portland Airport, Gan had barely said a word.

The team's atmosphere was heavily oppressive. With Ah Gan keeping silent, no one else dared to speak up.

After disembarking from the plane and collecting their luggage to leave the terminal, they saw thousands of fans waiting to pick them up outside the airport.
