The Warriors players warming up on the other side of the court all stopped their movements.
All eyes were on the other half, where Gan Guoyang solidly blocked Bernard King's turnaround jumper.
After turning right, King tried to use his body to bump Gan Guoyang off-balance and then shoot smoothly.
Generally speaking, even if the defender is a heavy, powerful big man, it's very difficult to remain unmoved when being hit head-on.
Unless it's a giant with a large mass, like the 7-foot, 250-pound Paul Mokeski, then King would choose to counter him with speed.
However, what King didn't expect was that when he collided with Gan Guoyang, Gan didn't use his chest to take the hit head-on but instead turned sideways, using his left arm and shoulder to absorb King's impact.
By turning sideways and using his shoulder, one's center of gravity is much more stable. Then, Gan Guoyang jumped up in response, pressing his hand on the ball before Bernard King could shoot, blocking him.
