On December 1st, the Trail Blazers entered the Salt Palace arena, where Gan Guoyang was reminded of some memories.
Nine months ago, Gan Guoyang, along with Gonzaga University, began their legendary NCAA journey here.
In just one month, they went from an obscure WCC team to the nationally renowned champions.
Now, more than one month into the NBA regular season, the season was just beginning. This was the huge difference between professional and college games.
In Gan Guoyang's senses, the game against Jordan felt like the NCAA Finals. Beating Jordan was like winning the world championship, and he could lie down and rest in champagne.
But upon opening his eyes, the regular games continued one after the other.
Gan Guoyang paid no attention to the media and news practitioners' hype.
He was focused on the schedule, the team, and himself.
During pre-game warm-ups, Adelman helped Gan Guoyang pick up balls for shooting practice.
