Gan Guoyang trusted Adelman, but it was not possible to come up with a solution right away.
Gan Guoyang knew clearly that this was not his problem, nor was it a problem with the coach's tactics, but rather issues with growth and gelling as a team.
Kossie and Drexler still needed to accumulate more experience, and Vandeweghe, at only 25, had room to evolve further.
As for Gan Guoyang himself, still a rookie, the entire League had already targeted him, the last person to have this happen was Wilt Chamberlain, and the next would be a shark.
After the team arrived at Washington Airport, Gan Guoyang saw Charles Barkley waiting for him in the parking lot, wiggling his massive behind out of the cramped cockpit of a white Porsche 911, waving at Gan Guoyang.
Barkley had called Gan Guoyang before coming, saying he wanted to pick him up from the airport to hang out at his house, and Gan hadn't expected him to actually show up.
