But unfortunately, Zhang Yang caught fire as well, making 17 out of 34 shots, including 5 out of 11 from three-point range, and a perfect 11 out of 11 on free throws, bombarding 50 points, and continuously breaking through in the middle of the last quarter, taking Jordan down!
In the duel, Zhang Yang unleashed 50 points, surpassing Durant’s 44 points. Although his shooting percentage wasn’t as high as the opponent’s, he compensated with attempts!
to 98, the Bobcats won again at ho against the Thunder Team, leading 3 to 1 in the series, reaching match point!
Exploding in one ga and performing diocre in another is Durant’s norm in the playoffs. He can explode fiercely but can’t maintain it consecutively; usually, with Rose helping, this is not a big issue for Durant, but in this finals, Rose couldn’t hold on.
By Ga 5, Durant made 12 out of 26 shots, scoring 30 points, returning to his average playoff performance. Rose had his worst ga of the finals, scoring 20 points on just 7 out of 20 shots.
The Bobcats’ frenzy, starting from a 0 to 3 deficit earlier this month, continued to the end of the 11-12 season...
On June 24, 2012, at 10:22 PM, the long whistle sounded at Tuhang Stadium.
shots made in 12, including 3 out of 7 from three-point range, and 8 out of 10 free throws, Zhang Yang scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals, leading the Bobcats to a 101 to 86 victory over the Thunder Team.
With a 4 to 1 series lead, the Bobcats won their 4th championship in 6 years at ho!
O’Neal jumped onto the table once again: "June belongs to Jack!"
points, 31 points, 27 points, 50 points, 35 points, Zhang Yang averaged 35.8 points over 5 gas, receiving his 4th FMVP trophy from Russell!
...
O’Neal’s shout gave Zhang Yang a new nickna ’June Jack’.
The Bobcats’ championship win was lauded, overcoming a 0 to 3 deficit, averaging 35.8 points in the finals to outplay Scoring King Durant’s biggest competitor head-on, from being considered eliminated to ultimately lifting the trophy... it was a miracle!
After the championship, Zhang Yang celebrated with his teammates for a few days. Soon July ca, although he had already formally notified the Bobcats of opting out, he wasn’t in a hurry to renew. He spent his ti hanging out and chatting with Felton, Okafor, Afflalo, Millsap, and others, and took care of his own matters when needed.
This sumr, Charlotte was bustling, as various superstars flocked here... for tourism?
Tour groups ca from California and Texas.
Jas said he thought the environnt in Charlotte was nice, the water quality was good, making it a good place to fish.
Duncan, Nash, and Kobe, frustrated from not winning championships for years, ca to Charlotte to see the scenery.
Cuban, who regretted dismantling his team, also ca to Charlotte to relax.
Granger and DeRozan, who were just miraculously reversed from a 0 to 3 deficit, ca to Charlotte to unwind.
Harden, who got into a fight with his brother, also ca...
Initially, people didn’t understand why so many stars went to Charlotte. Were they really going fishing?
Zhang Yang couldn’t possibly leave the Bobcats, right?
But as the end of July passed and the prelude of August arrived, over a month into the free market, there was still no news about the Bobcats renewing Zhang Yang’s contract.
People realized that things were developing in an unexpected direction.
Before long, on August 8, the Bobcats and Knicks Team officially announced the completion of a trade!
The Knicks Team sent out third-year player Stephen Curry, averaging 18.6 points and 4.5 assists per ga, Wilson Chandler, who re-signed a 4-year, $24 million contract post-lockout, playing 43 gas with an average of 13 points and 5.3 rebounds, Tony Douglas, who averaged 9.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists as a backup point guard last season, sophomore potential strong center Timofey Mozgov, and a 2013 first-round pick, to acquire Zhang Yang from the Bobcats!
On the 9th, the Knicks Team held a press conference at Madison Square Garden to announce four signings at once.
Zhang Yang joined the Knicks Team with an initial salary of $20.16 million, totaling $65.4 million over 2 1 years.
Nash joined the Knicks Team for 3 years at $27 million.
Knicks Team’s General Manager Donnie Walsh renewed his contract 1 year early for 4 years, extending to 2017.
Forr Phoenix Suns head coach Alvin Gentry signed a 4-year contract with the Knicks Team.
According to the New York Tis, Zhang Yang chose the Knicks Team because of the patience and decisiveness exhibited by the current Knicks Team General Manager Donnie Walsh.
Donnie Walsh, an experienced NBA manager, 71 years old, with over 30 years in the industry.
His early most famous operations as a general manager—the first was, while serving as the Pacers’ general manager, he defied adversity and chose Reggie Miller; the second was, after becoming the Pacers’ executive president, he selected Larry Bird to be his successor as general manager instead of holding dual positions, which elevated the Pacers to a new level.
It was precisely because Dolan poached Donnie Walsh from the Pacers in 2008 with a 5-year, $45 million high salary that the Knicks Team started heading in the right direction.
In the sumr of 2010, when the eting with Stoudemire was going smoothly, upon learning that Bosh intended to join, he decisively chose Bosh.
In the 10-11 season, when Deron, Anthony, and Howard were being circulated, he had enough chips to be patient and wait.
With Harden already, Deron wasn’t needed, and with Bosh, neither Anthony nor Howard were suitable for them. It was better to patiently wait for Curry to mature, and it indeed blood imdiately. In the recently concluded lockout-shortened season, Curry and Harden both rapidly improved, with Curry’s three-point shooting percentage rising from just over 35% in the previous two years to 40.6%, and his average number of three-pointers per ga increased to three; Harden even made the All-Star starting lineup after Wade missed many gas due to injuries.
With Harden, Curry, and Bosh, the Knicks Team surged to the top four in the East, reaching the second round.
With the addition of Zhang Yang, basketball fans throughout the greater New York area went crazy.
Not only that, Nash joined as well!
In the lockout-shortened season, Nash played in 62 gas, averaging 12 points and 10.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 53%, three-point shooting of 39%, and free throw shooting of 89%!
At the press conference, the players present had different thoughts.
Double H: The elentary student is gone, I’m so reluctant... but Third Brother is here! Big Brother said it, my Third Brother is the best in the world! It seems I’m not that reluctant anymore...
Son of the Wind: I wanted to entice Zhang San to co to . I have the league’s number one center Howard, but sohow I ended up being enticed to New York? New York is indeed bustling...
Long-necked Dragon: I knew it, not going to Houston was the right choice!
While Zhang Yang was sneaking a peek at the news, seeing the headline made him feel unwell.
Zhang San: Saint Jack arrives at the basketball sacred land? Damn, why is it still this nickna?
