章 44: Chapter 42 Old Friends

Losing a regular-season game was not a major setback for the Shui Zhong Team; on the contrary, it helped them identify problems and find solutions.

From mid-November to late December, the Shui Zhong Team played a total of 7 games and achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.

Aside from losing to the Washington Eagles, other schools in San Francisco were no match for Shui Zhong.

Gan Guoyang's statistics dropped in the latter four games, with a decrease in his offensive rebounds.

To counter well-trained opponents, Gan Guoyang reduced his offensive rebounding to focus more on getting back on defense.

Maintaining a stable zone defense to minimize the opponent's fast breaks was a top priority for Gan Guoyang.

On the offensive end, Gan Guoyang faced more double teams, and to avoid turnovers, he reduced his low-post plays.

Franklin took on more of the offensive duties, easing the scoring pressure on Gan Guoyang and making it harder for the opposition to defend against them.
