No.1 in basketball scoring-Chapter 887 - 380. Opponents that cannot be underestimated in the future_3

Carlisle was extremely excited, while opposite him, Woodson watched Okafor make the extra free throw, bringing the score to 110 to 116, with a six-point difference. Woodson leaned dejectedly against the chair back.

The reactions of the two coaches were reflected in the game, as Zhang Yang and Okafor connected to score a 2+1, directly dispersing the pent-up energy of the Hawks team.

A three-point difference is one ball away from catching up, even a four-point difference can potentially be caught with one ball, 3+1 will do, even if it’s very low, but at least there’s a chance. freewёbnoνel.com

Five points is different, this gap is called a hurdle, at least two balls are needed to catch up, now the difference is six points, so at least two three-pointers are needed!

When it came to the Hawks team’s offense, Pierce did not give up, continued to play one-on-one against Hill’s defense, stepped back to shoot a three-pointer... missed! Hill’s interference was spot on!

With this point difference, the experienced Hill just focused on Pierce’s three-point shots, ignoring everything else!

Horford charged to rebound unsuccessfully, the twin towers were positioned, Zhang Yang grabbed the defensive rebound, initiated a counterattack, rushed all the way to the front court, bypassing Bibby and Joe Johnson who rushed to the three-point line, directly entered the inside, and scored flying with a layup.

With 37 seconds left, the point difference reached 8!

At this moment, Woodson also thought of that number 1 player...

In the last 30 or so seconds, Pierce threw two balls that both missed, Hill replied with a three-point miss, and both teams scored no points.

At 9:21 PM, the game ended.

On the Hawks side, Joe Johnson hit 21 of 11, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 28 points, 4 boards, and 3 assists;

Pierce scored 23 of 10 with three last missed shots ruining a 50% hit rate, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, plus 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 27 points, 8 boards, and 4 assists;

Bibby hit 17 of 9, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 24 points and 7 assists;

Horford hit 9 of 5 plus 2 of 2 free throws scoring 12 points, 9 boards, and 3 assists...

On the Bobcats side, Zhang Yang hit 17 of 10, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws scoring 23 points, 5 boards, and 7 assists with 3 steals;

Okafor made 16 of 9, plus 4 of 6 free throws scoring 22 points, 14 boards, and 3 assists with 3 blocks;

Felton hit 20 of 9, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws, getting the highest score of 29 points;

Adding Jarett Jack’s 9 points and 3 assists, Hill’s 8 points, 4 boards, and 2 assists, Brad Miller’s 8 points, 5 boards, and 3 assists, Millsap’s 6 points, 7 boards, and 3 assists...

to 110, the Bobcats team played out an advantage at the last moment, winning narrowly by 8 points against the Hawks team, leading at 2 to 0 in big score!

...

After the game, Felton, who exploded tonight to get the highest score on the field, attended the press conference.

Entering the therapy room seeing Zhang Yang inside, Felton began to complain about those reporters: "I feel like in their view, our victory was to be expected, but they keep telling me the Hawks team has the ability to overturn the score, both questions asked by the same reporter, I wonder if he has mental issues."

Zhang Yang: "To make such a guess at least proves that, Boss, you don’t have mental issues, and you understood what they meant."

Felton: "Why do I feel like that’s not a good thing?"

"Those reporters might be trying to please both sides, the Hawks team has quite a few star fans, many neutral fans like the kind of stars willing to sacrifice for each other, we have a lot of fans too, they might be trying to please fans of both sides, also possibly avoid prediction mistakes, last year in the first round, Yao and McGrady led the Rockets team to a 2 to 0 lead against the Jazz Team, who could have thought the Jazz Team directly overturned 4 to 0 later?" Hill on the side saw the topic going off track from the start, hurriedly pulled it back.

Felton: "Isn’t being willing to sacrifice for each other normal? Every strong team is like this! That makes it sound like they are special."

Zhang Yang: "That type of fans likely doesn’t like stars willing to sacrifice for each other, but like stars with fewer fans, so they can feel special."

Felton: "You say it like that, I get it, I had a teammate in college who was like this, I liked Kidd, Marvin liked Malone, Shawn liked O’Neal... but he liked Snow, at first I thought who he liked was his freedom, didn’t think it was bad, but every time we talked about stars, he would come to say Snow’s goodness, without Snow the 76ers couldn’t beat the Bucks and reach the finals, after many times, I didn’t want to talk to him..."

Hill: "..."

Right, the illness got worse, no pulling back.

Yet Felton’s phrase ’Isn’t being willing to sacrifice for each other normal?’ Hill quite liked it, thinking Felton truly worthy of being a member of the NCAA championship team, no wonder he could conquer the whole team after entering the NBA to become the boss.

At the same time, he felt Felton was lucky, if he didn’t have Zhang Yang, Gerald Wallace, and Okafor as teammates at the start, or if the backcourt wasn’t strong enough to suppress him or have external teammates to compete with him, it’s estimated Felton would fall like most high-sequence rookies, losing all good habits of college days.

Zhang San, Little Fat, Little Duncan, Prince, Hill recalled the shocking feeling of watching the East Final and Finals last year, four young limitless teenagers repeatedly overturned and defeated the Pistons team and Spurs team, both longstanding strong teams in the NBA, to win the championship...

Unfortunately, this combination shined for only one year, then because of salary issues, it disbanded.

Zhang Yang definitely got a top salary, Okafor had already talked out a next top salary, Felton had already negotiated a contract averaging tens of millions per year...
