In the summer of 1996, Gan Guoyang decided to return.
But things weren't going to shape up instantly.
In fact, five minutes after talking to Tang Jianguo, Gan Guoyang faced a pretty serious problem.
He stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at himself after not playing professional games or undergoing systematic training for a year and a half, a question popped into his mind:
"Can I return to the peak?"
In the 1993-1994 season, Gan Guoyang already felt the decline; he had dropped to about the same level as Jordan.
Age wasn't the issue; around 30 was just when your physical condition is good. The key is the focus on the court and the quality of training.
Too many off-court factors interfered with his concentration on basketball, and both training and game quality declined.
The drop in focus leads to a decline in willpower and the desire to win; a person's mindset and will are closely related to physical condition.
