It's clear that Gan Guoyang is in a good mood tonight. He hasn't trash-talked with young players for a long time.
They are a generation apart. Bullying young players with words isn't really good. Gan Guoyang is quite honorable in this regard.
However, James and Nike have been making snide remarks and gestures to annoy Gan Guoyang for years. But in person, they show great respect, leaving Gan Guoyang feeling pent up with resentment.
Initially, he didn't want to care. What is there to worry about? But before this game, James did it again, finally irritating him.
James sensed something was wrong from Gan Guoyang's words. He had heard that when Ah Gan starts trash-talking, it means he's taking it seriously with you.
In the next two attacks, James chose to pass, hitting Miller for a mid-range shot and giving Arenas the ball for a stop-and-jump shot, collecting two assists.
