Thanks to Nate-Sermonde's connections, Gan Guoyang got himself familiar with The Warriors.
In early November, The Warriors' games were mainly held at their home court in Oakland and surrounding cities, which gave them blocks of time to train.
If it happened to be a Saturday or Sunday, Gan Guoyang would rise early to help Gan Youwei with miscellaneous tasks around the restaurant.
Then, in the morning, Gan Youwei would prepare a dozen or so exquisite Chinese meal boxes, which Gan Guoyang would pack in a large food container and take to The Warriors' training center by bus, providing the team with lunch.
The meal boxes, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and carefully cooked by Gan Youwei, were highly praised by everyone on The Warriors after eating them.
These meal boxes were essentially Gan Guoyang's "tuition" at The Warriors' training sessions, allowing him to absorb knowledge in a professional environment.
