Gan Guoyang is an exception; his attack speed is fast, his power strong, and his hook shots and jump shots are flawless. Especially his hook shots, which have great impact in FIBA; no one can effectively interfere with him.
Hook shots inherently have strong double-team resistance, and coupled with the generally average physical condition of FIBA players, Gan Guoyang becomes even more effective in the low post.
At the start, Gan Guoyang called for the ball in the low post. After receiving it, he faced Weiss, dribbled to open space, spun around gracefully, and scored with a hook shot, securing the first point.
Weiss' height of 2.18 meters was completely ignored by Gan Guoyang. If your strength and jumping don't measure up, you can't interfere with me. What's the use of being tall?
Then, China Team's tight man-to-man defense at the start made France Team unable to find good shooting opportunities, resulting in missed long shots.
