Both teams put a lot of effort into pre-game preparation, especially the Celtics, who made thorough preparations.
Bobby Berman would never have imagined that his players had each undergone targeted training and tactical arrangements for this series.
It wasn't that Berman hadn't prepared enough; rather, the likes of Duncan and Nash were wary of Gan as if he were a tiger and afraid that Berman's preparations and command might falter.
Just as well, the guys got together to brainstorm some tricks and strategies, summing up past experiences of battling Ah Gan to prepare enough ammunition for the match.
Such foresight was undoubtedly wise; indeed, Berman could not bring all his wit to bear in front of Gan Guoyang.
Simply put, when playing against other opponents, Berman sometimes resorted to any means necessary, sending role players to harass the opposing main player or even engaging in some dirty moves or tricks.
