In the second half, Gan Guoyang took the position of power forward, focusing more on defense.
However, in offense, he was more of a free agent, versatile in and out, able to appear in any position.
Even in the corners, where he rarely went before, he contributed two three-pointers, bringing cheers from the on-site fans.
Gan Guoyang played for a full eight minutes in the third quarter before taking a rest and didn't return to the game.
In the end, Glory Team won their historic first preseason game 100-91, defeating the defending champion Lakers by a margin of 9 points.
At the end of the game, Phil Jackson came over to shake hands with Gan Guoyang and said, "You came back too fast, Sonny."
Gan Guoyang replied, "You take your chances very quickly, I came back too late."
Both of them were speaking with a hint of sarcasm, and Phil Jackson seemed more frustrated.
All four of his rings were won during Gan Guoyang's retirement.
