The China Team managed to achieve victories in the first two games, defeating Lithuania and Puerto Rico, which far exceeded Coach Jiang Xingquan's expectations.
Of course, this also puzzled Jiang Xingquan. With Gan Guoyang versus without Gan Guoyang, how big is the strength gap for the China Team? What kind of performance would the China Team have against Lithuania and Puerto Rico without Gan Guoyang?
Jiang Xingquan was not optimistic, because with Gan Guoyang in the team, they barely won against Puerto Rico by just 1 point, with a last-minute buzzer-beater.
Without Gan Guoyang, the situation would be easily imaginable.
For the third game, Jiang Xingquan really wanted Gan Guoyang to rest for a game.
He wanted to see exactly what kind of level the China Team was at without Gan Guoyang, considering the team formation and training before the Olympics.
