Gan Guoyang and Jordan both turned it down, first because they didn't need such trivial events to increase their income, and second because this year is truly different, with the hostile atmosphere between them growing more intense.
Jordan's desire to challenge and defeat Ah Gan is growing stronger because he realizes that this year it is really possible, it is time.
Meanwhile, Gan Guoyang also sensed that the threat from Jordan was becoming greater. In previous years, although the two played fiercely against each other, it was clear to anyone with eyes that the Trail Blazers had far superior overall strength compared to the Bulls.
Jordan could only just barely manage to play tug-of-war with Ah Gan and the Trail Blazers during the regular season. Come playoffs, it's the Trail Blazers' world, with the Bulls and Jordan not even making it to the table.
This season is truly different; everyone has a premonition that the real battle is coming, and tonight will be a warm-up.
