He played for only 22 minutes, scoring 13 points with 8 rebounds and 6 assists, playing pretty conservatively without much exertion.
This is great news for the China Team.
Meanwhile, in preparation for the quarterfinals knockout round, Gan Guoyang followed the advice of the security team and left the Olympic Village to stay at a nearby luxury hotel.
The reason is simple: Gan Guoyang was too easily disturbed in the Olympic Village, where management wasn't strict and there were simply too many people.
The group stage was alright, but in the quarterfinals, the China Team faces the host country, and Australia also has its share of extremist fans, quite a lot in fact.
Everyone knows that Gan Guoyang is the biggest asset of the China Team; without Gan Guoyang, the China Team's performance would rank around 8th to 10th place.
