章 370: Chapter 103: Be Careful Not to Burn Yourself

```

The timeout was brief, and the game quickly resumed.

On the Trail Blazers' bench, Jerome Kossie handed Gan Guoyang a bottle of water.

Gan Guoyang shook his head and did not take it, wanting to touch nothing but the basketball at this moment.

He was always precise in sensing his own condition, knowing he was in good form tonight, but unsure when it would fade.

He intended to seize the time, to snatch as much advantage as he could in the finals, never relaxing or showing courtesy to the opponent.

Defensively, Gan Guoyang didn't plan to exert too much energy. He roamed mainly outside the three-second zone, leaving the tiring task of rim protection to Walton, Thompson, and Drexler.

Before the game, Gan Guoyang specifically instructed Drexler to move inside more, to participate in rim protection and rebounding efforts. The Glider's ability to steal and block had always been solid.
