Under Gan Guoyang's lead, the pace of the game turned unexpectedly fast.
The first quarter quickly moved past the probing phase, and all players were engaged in high-intensity offensive and defensive battles.
The Bulls were especially affected, with Scottie Pippen leaving early with two fouls, disrupting the Bulls' offensive and defensive setups.
Phil Jackson substituted Horace Grant, pairing with Buck-Williams to play a double power forward strategy.
This tactic worked well against the Knights and the Heat, reinforcing the team's defensive solidity.
Jackson thought, with Grant and Buck in place, they should be able to contain Ah Gan to a large extent.
However, this guy's game is becoming harder to predict, as he completely disregards conventions.
Not only Phil Jackson; Bobby Berman also couldn't understand what Ah Gan was thinking or how he was playing.
