Chapter 29: Strong Externally, Hollow Internally

Sabonis was usually low-key in the Trail Blazers Team, always flashing a smile and being kind to everyone.

He disliked cameras, reporters, and interviews, always silently playing games, training, and going home after work.

Including Gan Guoyang, no one expected that Sabonis would deliver such a blow to Ewing.

This was originally Gan Guoyang's trick against McDaniel during the 1986-1987 regular season's first game, where he headbutted X-man, knocking him out.

As Ewing fell, the Knicks players quickly surrounded the scene.

Charles Oakley was the first to rush forward, aiming to grab Sabonis by the collar.

Gan Guoyang did not rush forward immediately, not because he was disloyal, but because he was afraid of being sucker-punched.

During his rookie season, when he tried to break up a fight in a Rockets game, he was inexplicably punched and still couldn't figure out who had hit him.
