Gan Guoyang's hands were scorching hot, and he knew he had it as soon as the last shot of the first quarter left his hands.
Years of relentless training, coupled with Dr. Ogilvy's visualization exercises, had greatly enhanced Guoyang's imagination and creativity on the court.
In his mind, he had simulated a variety of match scenarios and technical maneuvers countless times, most of which he could not employ during regular games.
It was only on the grand stage of the finals, where adrenaline surged and focus intensified, that a player's body could enter optimal condition and feel omnipotent.
During the interval break, sitting on the bench, Jack Ramsey told everyone not to disturb Ah Gan, with only Kolter responsible for hydrating Guoyang.
Holding a straw-topped Gatorade to feed Guoyang, his hands were spread out, resting on his knees, palms relaxed, trying to maintain the muscle memory of his hot shooting streak.
