If you harden up, apart from peak Gan Guoyang and Karl Malone, no one in the League can withstand O'Neal. Yao Ming is a bit too thin.
O'Neal slowly found his rhythm. Gan Guoyang said nothing; he wanted to see how Yao Ming would handle the gap in strength against a seasoned veteran.
"Ah Gan, why aren't you yelling..." Porter asked at the right moment, knowing Gan Guoyang was surely unsatisfied with Yao Ming's performance.
"Shut up!"
"You're only yelling at me now."
Just like O'Neal, Yao Ming also didn't opt for a head-on clash in the following rounds.
He wasn't impulsive; instead, he calmed down and sought opportunities, which was good.
The game is long. It's sweetest to laugh last. Don't play too fiercely at the start.
Of course, Gan Guoyang wasn't like this before. When his stamina was good, he would press his opponent constantly from the first ball to the last moment, which was his truly fearsome attribute.
