章節 147: Chapter 45 I Adapt to the Situation

```

The game had been underway for five minutes when both teams entered a timeout period.

Gan Guoyang took a towel from a teammate to wipe his sweat as he came off the court.

A teammate offering him a towel and water was a symbol of status within the team.

Guoyang had claimed the first 9 points for the Trail Blazers, after which the Lakers began double-teaming him.

The double team meant opportunities for others; Thompson and Vandeweghe successively made their shots.

However, the score was 13:14, with the Trail Blazers trailing by 1 point because the Lakers were playing faster and better on offense.

Playing against the Lakers was indeed a completely different experience, not just in intensity but also in pace—and this was just the regular season.

In both offense and defense, you hardly had any chance to catch your breath or react, decisions had to be made quickly.
