After the game, Beelman gave a rating to each player in the locker room.
Peterlovic had only one assist in the second half, but after he came on, the Trail Blazers did not lose any points, and he tightly contested the score on the defensive end.
After some calculations, his rating was still a D, but Beelman specifically told Peterlovic, "Your performance in the second half was clearly better than in the first half. Although the data doesn't show it, I noticed."
Peterlovic was somewhat encouraged, but he was far from satisfied internally.
He had been thinking about surpassing Gan Guoyang, yet Gan Guoyang scored 41 points throughout the game, performing flawlessly.
After the game, he didn't forget to encourage Peterlovic, "I told you, I'm still an A, with no room for improvement. You, Pete, are full of hope."
Peterlovic was so agitated that he couldn't sleep well at night, tossing and turning, thinking about how to improve himself.
