In the Christmas Day game, the Glory Team successfully beat the Trail Blazers and took this "face-saving battle" for Gan Guoyang.
After the game, the whole arena cheered for Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang wished the fans a happy holiday.
It was still daytime, and the whole team rushed straight to the airport, took the chartered plane back to Las Vegas, and could reunite with their families to spend Christmas together.
In the airport and on the plane, Gan Guoyang and Michael Jackson's duet "Baby" actually started playing. This hit single, released last season, was still stuck on the charts like an unmovable nail house, which showed just how influential it was.
Back home, he turned on the TV, flipped through newspapers and websites, checked the news, and let his brain relax a bit.
Gan Guoyang found that most of the news was either entertainment—pop music and movies—or the aftershocks of 9/11.
