Hornacek, Porter, and Petrovic all squandered multiple open opportunities, rendering Gan Guoyang's passes and ball transitions ineffective.
When Bobby Beelman tried to adjust tactics and rotations, hoping to turn the tide in the second half, Gan Guoyang interrupted Beelman's plan.
He pointed out the strategic purpose of the Bulls in this game, which included Jackson's psychological tactics.
He said, "This game is not a contest of tactics and rotations, but a confrontation of will and mentality. Phil wants to use this game to reverse the Bulls' psychological disadvantage against the Trail Blazers and prepare for future encounters in the finals."
"In the next few years, there will be a battle between Portland and Chicago in the finals, and everyone needs to be aware of that."
Gan Guoyang's eyes swept across the entire locker room, Beelman remained silent, handing the command over to Gan Guoyang.
