The spy scandal has had a significant negative impact on Gan Guoyang, affecting not only his performance on the court but also his endorsements, advertisements, and assets.
Though not a crippling blow, it was still quite a shock. In these circumstances, Berman did not kick him when he was down by exposing Gan Guoyang's "scandals." Instead, he wrote a book highly praising Gan Guoyang, almost to the point of glorification, showing the depth of their friendship.
When Wang Fuxi said this, Gan Guoyang felt it made a lot of sense, so he patiently continued reading.
[...Ah Gan's major problem is that he swears a lot, probably even more than I do...]
"Bullshit! I can't swear as much as him? I have to call him."
Gan Guoyang threw the book aside and went to the neighboring room to call Berman. They hadn't communicated for a while.
This season is Berman's third season with the Celtics, and the young roster he built is finally starting to show great power.
