Gan Guoyang was unaware that his reputation for making delicious Chinese cuisine had spread throughout the NBA circle and had reached the ears of Chinese cuisine enthusiast Auerbach.
After the hook shot that sealed the Celtics' fate, the entire Trail Blazers Team went into a frenzy, surrounding Gan Guoyang as they all ran back to the locker room.
Having showered and quickly packed up, they dashed back to the hotel, not wanting to spend another second in the Boston Garden. At that time, post-game interviews were not mandatory in the regular season, allowing players and coaches to skip questions from reporters and head straight out.
The entire team was excited until the next morning, and even after flying to Indiana, they were still thrilled with the joy of defeating the Celtics.
