The reporters all laughed, thinking Gan Guoyang was joking.
Gan Guoyang was joking, but he was also telling the truth.
The games in the 90s were not like those in the 60s; in the 60s, there were more rounds and lower shooting percentages, so a game could have 60 to 70 opportunities for rebounds.
Moreover, at that time the division of player positions was clear, and rebounding was the job of the inside players, with a huge physical gap between beast-like players and ordinary players.
That's why there were superhuman rebound records.
By the 1992 season, the average number of rebounds had dropped to about 40 to 50 per game; grabbing 40 rebounds in a game basically meant taking all the team's rebounds.
Nowadays, outside players are also tall and strong, with some outside players having rebounding abilities no worse than inside players, naturally making rebounds more dispersed.
