Although the major newspapers didn't make much of Gan Guoyang's 50 points, the number of spectators at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on the evening of October 29th proved that Gan Guoyang was far from being washed up.
Last year, the Clippers' regular attendance numbers could reach seven or eight thousand, since the team had quite a few stars, but as the season progressed and the team's record didn't improve, attendance rates became lower and lower, often only managing to sell four or five thousand tickets.
Donald Sterling was very happy to welcome the Trail Blazers' visit, because with Gan Guoyang's presence, he could push attendance numbers past ten thousand, which was even more exciting than when the Lakers played the Los Angeles derby.
