At the end of the first half, Gan Guoyang's three-pointer gave the entire Trail Blazers team a massive boost in morale.
Tonight is destined to be a tough battle, a struggle in the mud, with the final score possibly coming down to a 1 to 2 point difference. Every basket will be extremely precious.
The significance of this shot is not just three points, not just overtaking the Bulls for a psychological advantage, but more so the encouragement from the team's new system rapidly becoming ingrained in every player's core.
Sabonis's dribble drive, cornering, and swift wide-range passing at the 45-degree angle disrupted the Bulls' dense defense, ultimately creating an excellent shooting opportunity for Ah Gan.
In the past, it was always Gan Guoyang using his defensive attraction to create opportunities for teammates. Now, teammates can also create opportunities for Gan Guoyang through spacing and passing.
