But in recalling the past, on the path they walked together, who guided whom more?
Beelman has an answer in his heart, actually Gan Guoyang was more like his mentor, his benefactor on the path of basketball and even in life.
At those critical turning points of fate, it was always Gan who stepped forward to awaken Beelman, giving him tremendous help.
In these 20 years, he has climbed very high, to a height that seems incredible when he calms down to think about it.
Standing at this height and looking down, the road up the mountain was steep, every step was difficult, in hindsight, without Gan beside him, he couldn't have climbed up.
He couldn't even step onto the first step.
So, in the so-called mentor-mentee showdown, Gan was really the mentor, and Beelman was the student.
Gan was the true guide, a mentor in life and spirit, a Moses prophet who parted the Red Sea ahead.
Beelman very much wanted to defeat him, he made a lot of preparations, including psychological ones.
