Chapter 14 Just in Time

The little incident with Rick Barry did not affect Gan Guoyang's festive mood during the Christmas of 1983.

In fact, during the evening activities that followed, Barry and Gan Guoyang got along quite well.

The reason why Barry was so annoying was mainly because he spoke without any filter, regardless if it was a teammate or an opponent, a colleague or a boss, an elder or a younger person, a fan or a friend, he would indiscriminately express himself, and such a person would not be liked anywhere.

Now that he was getting older and had retired for a few years, he found a job as a TV commentator and his temper had somewhat mellowed—although it was said he still had a terrible relationship with his colleague Bill Russell.

But Gan Guoyang was magnanimous by nature, treating everyone with neither servility nor overbearing pride, and he never took minor frictions to heart.
