"No worries, I can handle it, I'm fine! I'll hold down Ah Gan and give confidence to the team."
Kevin Garnett glared and said through gritted teeth.
Philip Saunders understood what Garnett meant.
He is the leader of the team, and since the opponent's leader is back on the court, he must suppress him to boost the team's morale.
Offensively, there's not much hope; Garnett tried, but against the Trail Blazers' strong individual defense, his efforts fell short.
Now, Garnett is truly confident in his defense. If he can suppress Ah Gan in the upcoming defenses, it would be a huge morale boost for the team.
Sanders hesitated for a moment. He thought, at this point, tactical arrangements aren't that important; the players' morale is decisive.
So, he agreed to Garnett's request and decided to let him go one-on-one against Gan Guoyang in the upcoming games.
