In the final 3 minutes, the game tied, the Ducks' effort for most of the game went up in smoke.
But there was no choice, they couldn't contain Gan Guoyang, and after Guoyang returned, Rasmussen didn't score anymore.
His three strong attacks from the low post were all thwarted, and he simply couldn't push through.
At that time, the offensive routines of centers were still too simplistic – strong moves in the low post, combined with some mid-range floaters and hooks, played too rigidly.
Plus, he was at a disadvantage in strength; he really couldn't play in the low post. Sitting on the bench, Rasmussen couldn't understand how this 6-foot-10 guy could be as hard as a lump of iron, unmovable once he got positioned under the basket.
In terms of physique, Gan Guoyang was quite suited for basketball; his legs were only slightly longer than his upper body, with a near 55:45 ratio of his upper and lower body, giving him an extremely stable body structure.
