"Ah Gan tonight is filled with a thirst for victory, but he will be facing two giants taller than him. I worry if he will still be able to perform well?"
Before the game began, Trail Blazers' voice Bill Schonely expressed his concerns.
Gan Guoyang had not played enough games at Memorial Coliseum, nor had he torn apart this city enough times, to alleviate the veteran commentator's worries.
Just ten seconds into the game, Gan Guoyang started to make Bill Schonely dismiss such a ridiculous thought.
On the first offensive play of the game, after winning the ball, Guoyang swiftly moved to the low post, then spun past an unprepared Olajuwon in the blink of an eye.
Against the oncoming help-defense of Sampson on the baseline, Guoyang exploded, using his strength to overpower Sampson, and dunked the ball over this towering figure!
It was the first time Sampson felt Guoyang's powerful burst and unrivaled strength.
