Quentin said, "So, you're actually protecting him."
Gan Guoyang replied, "Sort of. But he did waste one of my assists, otherwise I'd have had 15 assists and would have surpassed John!"

Gan Guoyang rarely obsesses over stats unless he's determined to compete with a friend or rival.
There were two previous occasions, one competing with Jordan for the scoring title, the other with Rodman for the rebound title.
This season he wants to play for the assist title from his old friend Stockton, after all, John has already won for 9 consecutive seasons.
