After a 74-point blowout victory over the Spurs, the series outcome was no longer in doubt.
The Spurs' morale was completely crushed by the Trail Blazers, and upon returning to the Portland Rose Garden Arena, they couldn't muster the will to resist.
The fans at the scene were also holding "74" signs and cheering loudly. In Portland, Gan Guoyang was still like a king.
Not to mention across the ocean in China, where Gan Guoyang scored 74 points against American teams, earning him the praise of a national hero.
The Spurs only resisted in the first quarter, tied at 24:24. After the second quarter's substitution, the Trail Blazers gradually widened the gap.
The Spurs were in a state of panic, focusing all their defensive attention on Gan Guoyang, as they were really afraid of his shooting from the last game.
Gan Guoyang was clearly on a mission. The Spurs didn't want to be massacred by Gan Guoyang again, but it was Kobe Bryant who truly shone in the second quarter.
