I remember he did something that annoyed me at the time - he hit me in the face with his elbow. I was still young at the time, so I shouted, 'I'm not playing anymore!' Then he said, 'You can't give up, come back.' He pushed me to the ground. We started fighting. So I rushed in. I took a knife in the room and said, 'We can solve this problem, let's try it. ' Then we put the knife away, shook hands again, and then played basketball. This is part of it. I will protect myself at all costs."
