Back in the locker room, Gan Guoyang called home to explain the situation. Wang Fuxi complained a bit, but still supported her husband.
"If you didn't throw a punch, O'Neal would've pounced on you. Can you handle a 300-pound giant? One punch is light."
Gan Wenshan also grabbed the phone, saying to Gan Guoyang: "Dad, Dad, you hit O'Neal, now you can't hit me when you come back!"
"Dad never wanted to hit anyone; hitting is wrong. But Mom's right, with a 300-pound fat guy charging at you, it's hard to control your fist."
After finishing the call, Gan Guoyang decided to visit the Lakers' locker room.
On the court, none of the Lakers security dared to stop him. Gan Guoyang walked straight to the home team's locker room.
"How's Shaq?" Gan Guoyang asked the Lakers' doctor, Gary Vitti.
Gary Vitti had been working for the Lakers since 1984, he entered the League with Ah Gan back then, serving as the Lakers' physician and trainer.
