Gan Guoyang's 6 for 6 three-point shooting caused a stir in the NBA. How can a center possess such shooting ability? Newspapers, media, and radio stations exclaimed, what kind of all-round basketball monster is this?
With most guards and forwards in the NBA not taking three-point shots, Gan Guoyang used three-pointers to reverse the game and defeat the strongest team in the Western Conference, a regular-season game that will surely go down in NBA history.
Television stations like ESPN and CBS covered the game extensively, playing footage of Gan Guoyang making all six three-pointers on screen.
His 42 points tonight led the team to a great comeback, and he jumped past Jabbar in the All-Star voting, becoming the starting center for the Western Conference All-Stars.
In this game, Gan Guoyang's abundant energy and flexibility in play made Jabbar seem especially old, turning his once elegant Sky Hook shot into something that looked stiff and boring.
