Finding amusement during the long and tedious season and making games a bit more interesting would trouble Gan Guoyang for a long time to come.
For him personally, this was not an issue; playing basketball was inherently fun.
Even if he played over 100 games a year, even if there was a game every day, even if he played 90 minutes per game, he would never tire of it.
But basketball is a team sport, and it's impossible to win on one's own strength alone, no matter how strong one is.
Gan Guoyang could be indefatigable, but his teammates would slack, and they were bound to do so.
Sometimes he thought it would be better if he were a boxer; he wouldn't have to consider his teammates' situation like in basketball.
He would only need to think about himself and his opponent in the ring.
In 1987, a superstar with enormous popularity rose in the American boxing scene, Mike Tyson.
