Sutton and Gan Guoyang jumped almost simultaneously. Sutton, a strong white interior player at 6 feet 10, was about the same height as Gan Guoyang.
However, Gan Guoyang's legs clearly had more explosive power and he took off with shorter preparation time, touching the ball first and deftly directing it to John Stockton.
The game officially began, and Sutton landed, ready to move back to play defense.
Then he saw Gan Guoyang, who had already accelerated towards the frontcourt, rushing toward the three-second zone.
"Shit..."
Sutton cursed under his breath and immediately bowed his head to sprint after Gan Guoyang.
However, Stockton's pass had already accurately reached the three-second zone; Guoyang caught the ball and took off for a violent two-handed dunk!
By the time Guoyang came down from the basket, Sutton had barely caught up, arriving just in time to take the baseline out-of-bounds throw.
