Gan Guoyang delayed turning the tide until the fourth quarter, just to avoid giving The Warriors time to adjust or counterattack.
After hitting this one-legged golden rooster backward jump shot, Gan Guoyang breathed a sigh of relief; the situation had finally turned around.
"Damn, if it were before, I would have blown them away in the third quarter." Gan Guoyang thought, he had been biding his time for this comeback blow for a long time.
Sitting courtside, Michael Jordan shouted to Gan Guoyang, "Have you become so gutless now, Sonny! You're using backward jump shots!"
Gan Guoyang only started using backward jump shots extensively at age 40, rarely using his classic forward-leaning shots to draw fouls.
The main reasons were age and injuries; too much contact with forward-leaning shots makes injuries more likely, while contactless backward jump shots, though less lethal, suffice as long as they go in during critical moments.
