Barkley is not an opponent that can be casually dismissed.
Although Gan Guoyang surpasses Barkley in physical ability and technique in every aspect, basketball has always been a sport where the underdog can prevail against the stronger opponent.
In sports, when physical prowess and skill reach a certain level, in-game performance and willpower often become the deciding factors.
The malleability of willpower is incredibly high—weakness and strength often hinge on a single thought. Once a player musters the courage and fighting spirit, they can unleash incredible energy.
Compared to the 1988 Finals, Charles Barkley's greatest growth has not been in his techniques but in his competitive spirit and willpower.
In countless disadvantageous confrontations against Gan Guoyang, Barkley honed his mental strength. After repeated failures and losses, he rose again and resolved to defeat Ah Gan.
