Olajuwon played exceptionally well this season.
But if you ask Drexler, it's still not as good as Ah Gan's worst season.
However, in this game, Olajuwon displayed great form right from the start.
He had been preparing for this battle for a long time.
One could say he was well-prepared in all aspects.
Olajuwon continuously scored in low-post attacks.
He attacked decisively with the ball, even when faced with Ah Gan.
He used his nimble footwork and excellent back sensing to counter Ah Gan's defense.
Turning forward to make a hook shot, turning backward to attempt a fadeaway jumper.
Simple and clear, crisp and decisive, the ball went in sharply.
Gan Guoyang immediately responded with mid-range shots from the arc and baseline.
Gan Guoyang had a clear idea; he wanted to draw Olajuwon out and create opportunities for his teammates.
With Sabonis absent tonight, lacking an external connection and coordination point, Gan Guoyang had to play more outside.
