Since last summer's training camp, Gan Guoyang had never been late.
It wasn't just that he never was late, but he was always the first to arrive, come rain or shine.
When the second person arrived at the training ground and saw Gan Guoyang, he was usually already drenched in sweat, and you couldn't tell how long he had been silently training.
His persistence and determination earned the respect of the entire team, and even indirectly cured Drexler of his habit of oversleeping.
Surprisingly, at the crucial Western Conference semifinals, Gan Guoyang was absent from training, which made all the Trail Blazers players uneasy.
The hotel staff said that Gan Guoyang had left early but had not returned since.
Adelman saw his note on the bedside table: Out for a stroll. Please excuse me from practice. Don't worry.
After Ramsay was informed, he didn't ask further and told the players, "Ah Gan has gone to buy plane tickets to Los Angeles for everyone."
