On the 15th, the day of the semi-final, rain began to fall in San Jose early in the morning, adding a bit of chill to the city.
However, this did not affect Gan Guoyang from getting up early and taking a basketball out for a jog.
Ever since he embarked on the path of basketball, Gan Guoyang would often have a basketball at his fingertips.
He used to dribble while delivering takeout, and now he dribbles while jogging in the morning, to train his ball-handling skills.
Gan Guoyang knew he had started playing basketball quite late; many black players were only slightly taller than the basketball when they began playing, and to them, the ball was as obedient as a dog on a leash.
Since he had started late, he certainly needed to be doubly diligent, making up for his lack of experience in ball-handling through training and making his dribbling more flexible and natural.
