So Gan Guoyang went back to running the high-post playmaking sets, setting active screens, handling the ball at the top of the arc and dealing cards, letting the Princeton System spin around their two-man pick-and-roll.
Jordan slowly recovered his stamina and searched for his shooting touch; twice in a row he used the pick-and-roll, rose up directly for jumpers and nailed them.
Pull-up jumpers out of the pick-and-roll are a lot easier and more natural; after getting used to this kind of partnership with Ah Gan, the bald guy's cold arrows were deadly accurate.
And Jordan's feel for his jumper isn't like a typical perimeter player's; once he finds that feeling, he can hit one after another, in a row.
Same pull-up out of the pick-and-roll, someone like Bibby, three in a row is usually his limit; on the fourth the defense traps him, or his own touch wavers, and it's hard to make any more.
