90:73, China Team defeated France Team with a decisive 17-point advantage, successfully advancing to the men's basketball finals of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
This is the first time China Team has reached the finals to compete for the gold medal since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and the opponent is again Team USA.
Gan Guoyang only scored 25 points in this match, but he was highly efficient, missing only 2 shots.
He consistently broke through the opponent's defense at the beginning of both halves, forcing them to make changes.
Once France Team changed strategies, China Team immediately responded, causing France Team to struggle on both ends.
France Team truly had no solution; they lacked a superstar like Ah Gan, heavily depending on their tactical setups.
Without a tactical advantage or securing the initiative, their gameplay became too difficult.
In a post-game interview, the coach of France Team candidly said, "Give me Ah Gan, and we could make it to the finals too!"
