Gan Guoyang communicated with Porter in the low post, wanting to execute a high-post linking tactic.
Gan Guoyang went to the elbow to set a screen for Porter, who passed the ball to Sabonis, then used the screen to cut towards the basket.
Sabonis had three options: shoot himself, make a direct pass to Porter cutting to the basket, or pass to Ah Gan.
As a result, Porter made the pass, but his cutting speed wasn't fast enough, and Sabonis hesitated while making the decision.
The Rockets' defense had caught up, and Porter had no opportunity under the basket, so he moved to the baseline corner, and in the end, Sabonis had no choice but to pass the ball to Gan Guoyang at the elbow, where Gan Guoyang received the ball and faced Olajuwon—one high-post linking play turned into Gan Guoyang holding the ball at the elbow and taking on Olajuwon one-on-one.
