Chapter 93: Chapter 31 Going The Distance

Stockton's unexpected exit was a huge loss for the Bulldogs.

The guard who replaced Stockton was Mark Matthews, who was far less talented than Stockton.

Gan Guoyang told Matthews, "Mark, I'll handle the ball later, your job is to focus on defense, don't worry about anything else, got it?"

Matthews looked at Coach Belman, who nodded and said, "Listen to Ah Gan, let him take over ball-handling."

Stockton said, "Mark, you have to hold on, I'll be back soon."

Matthews nodded vigorously, knowing the great responsibility he bore as this kind of game was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

Even a slight mistake could cause the team to lose the efforts of an entire season.

The game continued, and although Matthews was overall less skilled than Stockton, he was a 6-foot-4 guard with plenty of stamina.

After he got on the court, his mind was on one thing only: to defend desperately, closely guarding either Franklin or Michael Young, nothing else.
