This season, the Pistons returned to the playoffs. The team, centered around Hill and Dumars, was complemented by Lindsey Hunter, with Charles Oakley and Ratliff in the interior as defensive stalwarts, making them very strong.
Before the game, Detroit fans were hoping that Hill could dunk over Gan Guoyang's head to avenge the "deep sea of blood" feud.
It should be noted that in league history, the only player with a clear record of dunking over Gan Guoyang's head is Michael Jordan.
Others either got blocked by Gan Guoyang, missed the dunk, or Gan Guoyang committed a foul to prevent it.
Trying to dunk over Gan Guoyang is more challenging than climbing over the African Mountain, Mutombo. This guy isn't tall but reacts too quickly and is incredibly strong.
This makes it impossible for attackers to overpower Ah Gan in mid-air; without overpowering, dunking is impossible, at most drawing a foul or attempting a layup or floater.
