During the 2002-2003 season, it was the first time in many years that Gan Guoyang's three-point attempts declined.
While Jordan could also shoot threes, he still preferred mid-range shots, which were more accurate for him.
The Glory team's bench had decent three-point shooting, with Bell and Jon Barry providing some firepower.
However, the starting lineup's three-point shooting was quite average; once Gan Guoyang, the center, played more in the low post, their three-point shooting weakened even further.
But this season, the Glory's offensive efficiency was still one of the best in the league. Besides crediting the Princeton System, Tomjanovich also infused the team with some UCLA offensive elements, making Gan Guoyang, like in 1990, frequently hold the ball on both baselines, utilizing zero-degree mid-range shots and facilitating passes to invigorate the entire team's offense.
