Gan Guoyang has declined, but he's declined from peak Ah Gan to peak Jordan!
After the timeout, both sides returned to the court. The Knicks first scored a basket, with Alan Houston's steady mid-range shot helping the Knicks calm the situation.
But then Kobe had the ball and noticed the strong side Knicks players crowding in, while on the other side, Gan Guoyang was actually open because Mourning had to guard the three-second zone.
Kobe immediately passed the ball to Mu Lin in the middle, who understood immediately and passed to the wing Gan Guoyang.
Gan Guoyang caught the ball, and no one was defending him!
Gan Guoyang couldn't believe his eyes, Mourning was three steps away from him.
What the hell, the Knicks use this kind of strategy after a timeout? Underestimating me?
Gan Guoyang stood stationary, made an easy and natural mid-range shot, and comfortably scored two points.
