Gan Guoyang's dunk that drew a foul could be said to have dashed the Los Angeles Lakers' hopes of clinching victory in the first game.
If they had been accurate with their three-pointers tonight and had a good shooting feel, there might have been a chance for a comeback in the final moments.
But the Lakers' shooting performance in the game was too poor, repeatedly missing from the outside, leading to a cold touch throughout the team.
After Gan Guoyang made the free throw, the Glory Team insidiously began a two-minute hack-a-Shaq strategy.
Sending O'Neal to the free-throw line, he was highly likely to split the two free throws, or even miss both, thus wasting the Lakers' chance to catch up.
Despair once again spread, with more and more people in the audience holding their heads, fans knowing that this game was likely to be harvested by Ah Gan again.
