In basketball, Gan Guoyang was someone who "found his path" early on.
In his early 20s, at an NBA coaching conference in Los Angeles, he grasped the ultimate basketball dictum of Dr. Naismith: "The ultimate game is to attack wherever the ball is, starting from the place you receive the ball."
That time, Coach John Wooden asked Gan Guoyang if Dr. Naismith's words really represented the ultimate in basketball.
Gan Guoyang asked Wooden in return, what does "ultimate" mean.
Wooden said it's a perfect system that can be invincible.
Gan Guoyang shook his head in rejection, saying that Dr. Naismith didn't mean that.
