But his goal was already achieved, passing the ball to the top of the arc.
Zhang Yang followed through the middle, caught the ball and shot a trailing three-pointer... Score!
Jarett Jack had just made a one-on-one three-pointer, Ibaka’s athleticism still a fresh force running fast, Mike Miller’s side three-pointer accurate... Zhang Yang skillfully utilized the threat of the three, ’hiding’ himself, and seized the opportunity!
However, the initiator of this attack strategy was Brad Miller, who instantly made the judgnt to pass the ball to Jarett Jack after grabbing the rebound, allowing this counterattack cooperation to occur.
Zhang Yang understood Brad Miller’s thinking only after scoring, Jarett Jack probably never realized the role Brad Miller played.
to 108, Lakers trailing by 6 points, Kobe ran to the front and asked for the ball to play one-on-one again, this ti consciously increasing his shooting force, but the angle was affected, "bang" against the rim.
Brad Miller snatched the rebound before Gasol and imdiately passed it to Jarett Jack.
Big White Bear didn’t expect he would have the speed advantage tonight!
Zen Master regretted seeing this, Gasol reached the offensive rebound spot but was snatched by Brad Miller first, unbearable to watch, Kwa Brown, no matter what, still has top-notch athleticism, with his height of 211 cm increased to 124 kg, he still has excellent mobility, just not as fast as Okafor, Millsap, and Ibaka.
On the court, Jack the Great once again pushed forward for a counterattack, still passing the ball to the trailing Zhang Yang.
Ariza was ready this ti, feigning a double-team, imdiately rushing to the top of the arc after Jarett Jack passed the ball.
Zhang Yang received the ball, raised his hand, feigned Ariza, and then broke into the three-point line, stopped abruptly, and shot a long two-pointer...
Following through on two consecutive counterattacks, even though it wasn’t a desperate rush, Zhang Yang felt his whole body was floating when trailing, a sense of exhaustion, but when he feigned Ariza away and shot, he felt incredibly good!
As the net rippled, the referee whistle sounded, Lakers called a tiout!
to 102, Bobcats started the second overti 8 to 0!
shots made 18, including 6 out of 14 three-pointers, plus making 8 out of 10 free throws, Zhang Yang’s score reached 50 points, surpassing Kobe’s 49 points!
The Lakers players on the court were okay, they just failed to defend for 3 rounds, in their perception, defend a few rounds, score a few baskets, and the score will catch up; Bobcats players excitedly hugged and celebrated after entering the tiout, then hurried back to the bench, in their view, there were still a whole 4 minutes, an 8-point gap wasn’t safe at all.
But the fans on the scene felt completely differently, they were completely bewildered by these few rounds, they were expecting for several minutes, waiting for the second exciting and intense overti, hopefully, a dramatic blooper like Kwa Brown, then go for another overti... After all, tonight’s tickets are quite expensive, watching a bit longer is worth it.
But the Bobcats just ca up and ended the ga!
As observers, they had a close view of the ga progress throughout, knowing this 8-point gap at this ti was like an insurmountable river!
The first overti ended with each team scoring only 10 points respectively, the second overti normally should have been even lower, scoring one or two baskets for three or five points or even no points for the entire period would have been normal, yet Bobcats scored 8 points in 1 minute!
But it must be said, this developnt, fans felt the drama wasn’t inferior to Kwa Brown’s mistake, Zhang Yang’s consecutive two counterattack catch-and-shoot hit, grabbing 5 points to kill the ga, left an even deeper impression on the already extrely focused Los Angeles fans...
After the tiout, the ga returned to the way the fans originally expected, but it also ant no third overti.
Both sides consecutively bricked shots, difficult to score a basket, Zhang Yang missed his next two attempts, only managed to get to the basket, drew a foul from Gasol and made both free throws.
Kobe tossed three tis in the remaining 4 minutes, made one shot and scored two points.
In the last more than 4-minute ti, Bobcats only scored 4 points, Lakers weren’t much better with only 6 points.
Ti arrived at 10:55 PM, nearly 3 hours later, the true final whistle finally sounded.
shots made 18, including 6 out of 15 three-pointers, plus making 10 out of 12 free throws, Zhang Yang scored 52 points, eclipsing Kobe’s 51 points with 38 shots made 19!
Under his leadership, Bobcats narrowly defeated Lakers 114 to 108!
After the final whistle sounded, relieved from the burden, with the pressure all gone, Zhang Yang felt his whole body almost collapsing, couldn’t even stand properly, fortunately, teammates gathered around to celebrate, he unabashedly leaned on his teammates, after easing up, together with his teammates loudly cheered and celebrated, tonight was exhilarating!
On the other side, Kobe felt slightly better than Zhang Yang, at least he could still put a towel on his head and walk towards the player tunnel.
He defended Zhang Yang for nearly 50 minutes, he felt he at least forced Zhang Yang into nearly 20 bricked shots, he also nearly shot 40 tis, scoring close to 50 points, right? But still lost!
He wasn’t willing, extrely unwilling!
Zen Master saw Kobe’s expression, knew this guy still hadn’t realized what went wrong, but didn’t plan to say it, if said, this guy wouldn’t listen, could only hope he would figure it out by himself...
In a booth at the stadium, the Jewish man now regretted not arranging 23VS24, Lakers playing Cavaliers couldn’t possibly have produced such an exciting ga!
Cavaliers were not without a chance to win, Mo Williams and Larry Hughes were assisting well, outside shooters opened up, Cavaliers could still possibly win, after all, they have so many shooters.
But facing Garnett, Kwa Brown, Gasol’s inside group, outside having Kidd, Kobe, Ariza, Jas couldn’t have perford like Zhang Yang.
And tonight Kobe was in such good form, taking over 40 with over 50% field goals during regular ti, Stern didn’t know how accurate Cavaliers’ shooter group had to be to avoid being blown away.
Jewish man: A situation of three-way stand-off with number 3, 23, 24 seems difficult now, the big man is in a recession period, it seems that the next one or two years will be the era of the bad boy and Mamba, King’s era has to be pushed back.
The reality is very cruel, league resource allocation, Stern just made a decision because of this ga...
...
The next day, Zhang Yang slept until nearly noon before waking up, after sitting up for a mont he cleared his head, feeling the physical fatigue.
At the midseason’s end, just played 17 gas last month, this month started with a double-overti, played for 54 minutes... Such an experience, it’s his first ti.
After clearing his head, ’door’ appeared before him, with new prompts above.
"Stamina increased from 93 to 94, reaching the extre under current age and talent, please reasonably arrange training plans."
"...
Ability assessnt: Three-pointer 92 (upper limit 95), Mid-range shot 91 (upper limit 95), layup 93 (upper limit), Dribbling 90, Passing 86, Speed 94, Strength 86, Jumping 89, Stamina 94 (upper limit)..."
Zhang Yang’s eyes lit up, worked to the limit for one night and broke through? Knowing this, he’d work to the limit every day... Thinking it over, it wouldn’t work.
Exhausted like that last night, still feeling discomfort now, might still have so influence tomorrow, fortunately, after completing the 4 away gas, Bobcats have two days of rest ti, otherwise, the impact would be great, not worth the loss.
And this ti, being able to suddenly squeeze out potential, he guessed it was related to his previous accumulation too.
After being happy, he felt a bit congested, 94, is this the limit? There’s still a noticeable difference compared to Kobe, and he has started to decline physically at 30, he barely forced Kobe to collapse in the second overti only after individually defending a handful of tis by the end of the first overti.
He rembered ’he’ was at his peak in physical fitness at the age of twenty-six or seven, stamina upper limit was 96, still had growth potential, just needed to wait for body growth.
But thinking positively, he temporarily doesn’t need to focus on improving stamina, has more ti, besides, stamina talent can be enhanced right? Can always be worked out.
