If Bird packed it up and went home to take care of the kids, it would be fine, but this guy stayed on in Portland as the general manager, watching Carl sink deeper into the mire.
This year, Carl not only became the head coach of the Trail Blazers but is also preparing to marry his fiancée, ending his bachelor life and entering into marriage, which is really leaving him torn and stressed.
On one side, he has to think deeply about the team's strategy late into the night and endure immense public pressure.
On the other side, he needs to soothe his fiancée's emotions and prepare for the wedding; they plan to host a simple yet memorable ceremony in 2000.
They met in the early 1980s and started dating in 1987, but never got married; this 13-year long romance is about to conclude soon.
The pressure is intense; his life is completely filled with work and family matters. At this time, having Gan Guoyang stand up to help Carl feels almost tear-inducing.
