Chapter 118: Chapter 21 Give Me Some Face

Knight had a reason for not wanting Gan Guoyang to play in the fourth game; the match was in Knight's home turf of Indiana, at the brand-new Hoosier Dome.

This game marked the opening of the new arena, and on the day of the match, a record-breaking crowd of 67,596 spectators filled the stadium, setting a new American record for a basketball game audience.

The NBA All-Star Team's lineup for this game was the most luxurious yet, featuring Indiana's superstar, the 1984 MVP and champion Larry Bird, as well as the other two members of the Celtics' Iron Trio, McHale and Parrish. Mark Aguirre and Isiah Thomas returned to the court, joined by Mike Woodson, Jim Paxson, and the team's coach was the legendary Oscar Robertson.

In the days leading up to the match, the team held a charity dinner in Indiana, raising $150,000 for the Olympics.
