But Gan Guoyang insisted on personally matching up against O'Neal, going head-to-head with the core of the opponent.
Guarding O'Neal one-on-one is indeed taxing, consuming a lot of energy and affecting stats.
However, Gan Guoyang knew that under such great pressure, and in such a significant milestone game, he absolutely couldn't just pick an easy task.
During warm-ups, Gan Guoyang issued a challenge to O'Neal, and having "battled" with Ah Gan before, O'Neal nonchalantly accepted the challenge.
It seemed he had matured, able to handle pressure and bravely face the strongest opponents.
But in reality, O'Neal was merely pretending to be calm; inwardly, he was already crying out.
Wasn't Sabonis doing fine defending me? Why do you have to match up with me personally?
This is bad. During offense, I have to face Ah Gan's defense, during defense, I have to face Ah Gan's offense!
