The game began after the jump ball between Gan Guoyang and Divac.
Divac, wearing the Celtics' green No. 12 jersey, had gotten stronger compared to last season.
However, in the jump ball, his explosiveness was far less than Ah Gan, and the Trail Blazers took the lead in offense.
The Celtics let the young Divac mark Gan Guoyang on defense, while Parrish dealt with Sabonis.
Gan Guoyang, stationed in the low post, said to Divac: "They assigned you to guard me? Is this picking on the rookie?"
"If you have any sympathy, take it easy on me, Sonny." Divac decisively conceded.
Having played in Portland for a year, being dominated by Gan Guoyang in the low post for a year, he knew very well what kind of monster Gan Guoyang was in that position.
In the regular season, he hardly ever displayed his full low-post power, because there was no need.
