However, as Gan single-handedly built the Trail Blazers' dynasty and consistently delivered superhuman performances during the regular season, everyone realized that Gan and the others were not on the same level of players.
Moreover, in these two seasons, this guy Gan has become less and less like a center. Whether in ability or performance, it feels like he's somewhat transcending the three realms, not within the five elements.
Some New York fans, especially the young ones, at Madison Square Garden, would hold up signs asking Ewing, "Why can't you shoot threes?" "Why is your passing so bad?" "Why can't you handle the ball on a fast break?"
These tasks were originally not a center's job, and Ewing, even if he performed poorly, shouldn't be questioned like this.
But Gan Guoyang set a new standard, showing people how versatile a center can be, and how many styles they can play.
So, traditional centers like Ewing began to face doubts. Gan can do it, why can't you?
