In the first quarter, the Glory Team used defensive strategy, plus Kobe's recklessness, to seize control of the score.
Angered by Kobe's elbow, Gan Guoyang scored in succession and opened up a small gap, but Kobe gradually found his rhythm and led the Trail Blazers' counterattack.
After the tentative shootout in the first quarter, both sides gradually settled into the game.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' bench unit played better and they regained the advantage.
Gan Guoyang's "last legacy," Michael Redd, has already made great progress this season.
From a nobody who averaged 3 points a game last season, this year he has suddenly become an 11-points-per-game key scorer off the bench, an excellent perimeter shooter at the two and three spots.
This season his three-point percentage has reached 44%. His quick, precise left-handed three-point release makes Portland fans easily think of Chris Mullin.
