Chapter 7: Possessed by the Way

Gan Guoyang's understanding of defense had long surpassed that of many contemporary college and even professional basketball players.

He always focused on the bigger picture rather than the gain or loss of a single position. In this respect, even Beelman felt inferior, considering Gan to some extent his defensive philosophy mentor.

Although Beelman agreed that Gan Guoyang was right, he still had him sit out for a rest.

But Gan Guoyang had barely sat on the bench for a minute before the audience, who had come to watch the game, grew restless.

Today, in addition to students from Gonzaga University, many citizens of the City of Spokane had come to Kennedy Gymnasium.

In an era before the internet and when NBA live broadcasts were a mess, local fans had never seen a player like Gan Guoyang, who played with such passion and violence. They had never seen anyone slam five baskets in just 10 minutes of play in their school's history.
