Chandler certainly can't handle Gan Guoyang, so there's really no way out when Cartwright says that.
He's thinking of just letting the rookie go up against Ah Gan head-on, maybe it could ignite a fighting spirit?
Like Duncan, O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, these guys all came out one by one and became superstars, right?
Cartwright fully utilizes his imagination, believing that Ah Gan's torment might be the stormy path all players must endure to become successful.
He doesn't even think about himself, when he was stricken by fear of Gan back in his playing days, sitting in the locker room sighing during two Finals, and never really transformed.
How could he hope Chandler, a high school student, could evolve by facing off against Ah Gan, someone considered the best in history?
This is what happens when you read too many passionate manga, or when you're really out of options, leading to wild thinking.
