"Sonny, say a few words to the fans in Portland, right now the whole city is crazy about you, bewitched by you, if you don't say something, I'm afraid they won't be able to turn off their radios and sleep peacefully tonight."
On April 20th, after the Portland Trail Blazers and the Mavericks had finished the second game of the first round of the playoffs, Bill Schonely pulled Gan Guoyang in front of the microphone at the sidelines of the Memorial Coliseum to chat with the listeners and fans in front of the radio.
Unlike Johnny-Most, Schonely's commentary booth was not high up in the stands but right next to the Trail Blazers' bench, allowing him to see the players at any time.
