————Harvey Allen, "Carolina Chorale"

Years later, when the plump Shawn Kemp reminisced about his rookie season's face-to-face confrontation with Ah Gan, his once sharp-edged face shone with a long-missing luster, his gaze drifting into the far-off emptiness, as if transporting back to the vigorous and youthful 1989-1990, his rookie season.

"That was the second meeting in the season between the Supersonics and the Trail Blazers, the first time I didn't get the chance to play, I could only watch from the sidelines, the Trail Blazers were strong, and Guoyang was particularly intimidating, but I was eager to try."

"The second time was after the All-Star game, I had more confidence in myself because Xavier McDaniel was injured, so I started the game and directly faced Guoyang. Wow, he was as solid as a steam locomotive, an amplified version of Karl Malone."
