Petrović deeply felt the speed and intensity of the strongest dialogue on Earth's basketball courts.
It was also his first time seeing Gan Guoyang so involved and serious in a match.
In previous games, Gan Guoyang always had a sense of ease, playing very calmly.
Especially on defense, Gan Guoyang would sometimes slightly ease up against opponents' offenses to control fouls and conserve energy.
Beelman's system did not demand a life-and-death struggle on the defensive end, and now the Trail Blazers lacked the defensive resources to strangle opponents as in the past.
His requirement was to maintain toughness, disrupt without disorder, and ensure that the overall offensive efficiency of the opponents was suppressed.
Thus, in terms of blocks, steals, and forcing turnovers, the Trail Blazers slid considerably compared to the triple championship period.
