The Portland people left no room for fantasy for the Suns.
May 13th, the fourth game in the series saw the Trail Blazers throw another straight punch.
Gan Guoyang scored 31 points and grabbed 24 rebounds, exploding the Suns' weak interior. Leading his team to a 115:107 victory, they easily defeated the Suns with an 8-point lead, sweeping the series 4:0.
Last season, the two sides fought to a Game 7, but this year Guoyang proved with strength that we are simply not on the same level.
The reason we reached Game 7 was just that last year I was in a bad mood, coupled with your good luck.
At the end of the game, Gan Guoyang hugged Kevin Johnson and Kurt Rambis, expressing recognition for Johnson's abilities.
A key reason for the Suns' utter defeat in this series was that Kevin Johnson was completely shut down.
