The Jazz are slowly closing the score gap. If they can play their tactics comfortably, get into good form, and gradually catch up with the Trail Blazers, then by the fourth quarter, it's really uncertain who will win.
Gan Guoyang knows that he must step up and make some adjustments now. Continuing the blue-collar route will be caught up by the Jazz team in pace.
However, Gan Guoyang didn't choose to compete low with Malone as Malone expected. He chose to receive the ball at the high post, with Sabonis pretending to come over to set a screen.
The two tall insiders crowding at the arc top looked unusually bloated, and this screen was fake. Taking advantage of Malone's distraction, Gan Guoyang suddenly accelerated, directly holding the ball in his right hand for a strong drive.
He directly broke through the Jazz team's defense, no one was underneath, easily scored a layup, and got two points.
