As for Juan,
he scored 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in this game.
Although his performance was slightly inferior to Pang Bo's, he had help around him.
Their Point Guard was always able to set Juan up with easy scoring opportunities, and he also brought the whole team to life.
Their sixth man in particular was the previous season's Sixth Man of the Year.
He scored 22 points all by himself.
That was far more than all the Mavericks' bench players scored combined.
So Pang Bo's loss in the end wasn't really anything to be ashamed of.
Meanwhile, after losing the game, Pang Bo returned to the locker room.
He sat in silence for a long time.
Even though his teammates encouraged him one after another, and even the team's General Manager came in to congratulate him for putting up a big Double-double in his first game, Pang Bo still seemed very quiet.
Losing the first game had dealt him a bit of a blow.
The first thing he thought of after taking that hit was to call Wang Yi.
But in the end, he didn't make the call.
Brother Yi had said that he was leaving him behind to gain experience.
If he went to Brother Yi to complain after taking even the slightest blow, how would that be any different from a kid running home crying to Mom after getting bullied a little?
So in the end, he gave up on the idea, gritted his teeth, and silently vowed to train even harder from then on, do his best in every game ahead, and never let Brother Yi down.
By the time they finished watching the game, it was already 4:30 in the morning.
The entire Raptors team had stayed up with Wang Yi until 4:30.
