Chapter 44 Nonsensical Talk

```

[About the incident that happened between me and Gan at Sermonde's during Christmas 1981, there have always been rumors circulating in the media. I want to say, that's all nonsense!]

—————— Excerpt from Wilt Chamberlain's autobiography "A view from Above," published in 1992.

After finishing the lemonade, Sermonde emerged from the kitchen with a big platter of aromatic barbecued meat.

On learning that Chamberlain had been joking with Gan Guoyang using lemonade, he shook his head and said, "Wilt always liked lemonade, he used to drink a gallon of it in the locker room to rehydrate. The guy actually doesn't like drinking."

Chamberlain said, "I am a disciplined athlete, how could I like dangerous stuff like alcohol."

"Try my secret barbecue instead. The recipe was passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and then to me, a tradition from Ohio."
