No.1 in basketball scoring-Chapter 889 - 380. A Future Opponent Not to Be Underestimated_5

Tonight, Zhang Yang successfully took more than 25 shots again, but with a completely different accuracy, making 15 out of 27 shots, including 2 out of 5 three-pointers, and hitting 6 out of 7 free throws, scoring 38 points!

However, the highest scorer tonight was not him, but Pierce with 39 points. But! Tonight, the one "clanking" was Pierce, hitting only 13 out of 30 shots, making 4 out of 12 three-pointers, and scoring 39 points with 9 out of 9 free throws.

This performance isn’t bad, but in a game like this, Pierce needs to do better.

Bibby scored 19 points with 6 assists, Joe Johnson had 24 points, Horford 10 points with 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Childress 8 points, Pachulia 4 points with 9 rebounds, Asi Lao 2 points... The Hawks team scored 106 points in total.

On the Bobcats side, besides Zhang Yang’s 38 points, there were Okafor’s 21 points with 13 rebounds, Felton’s 18 points with 5 assists, Millsap’s 12 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Mike Miller’s 17 points...

to 106, the Bobcats defeated the Hawks on the road by 11 points, making the series 3 to 1!

Two days later, on May 2nd, the Bobcats returned home to face the Hawks in Game 5 of the series.

Zhang Yang continued his shooting performance from Game 4, making 11 out of 21 shots, including 4 out of 8 three-pointers, and hitting 7 out of 7 free throws, scoring 33 points.

Okafor’s 16 points with 16 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks, Felton’s 15 points with 9 assists, Brad Miller’s 9 points with 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Millsap’s 16 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists... all performed well, with the team scoring 112 points.

But on the other side, that trio exploded again, with the contemporary Jordan taking only 18 shots, making 12 out of 18, including 3 out of 3 three-pointers, and 3 out of 3 free throws, scoring 30 points!

points isn’t scary, but to hit them from a distance with a 67% accuracy, sinking all three-pointers, that’s quite amazing.

In fact, Joe Johnson had been performing steadily in the first four games, but he was too steady, only responsible for regular offense, with clutch shots taken by Pierce and Bibby, leading the media and fans to overlook him when discussing this series. No one expected him to suddenly strike hard!

With Joe Johnson’s strategic moves, Pierce efficiently scored 26 points, Bibby got 21 points, Horford achieved a playoff high of 18 points, and substitutes Childress and Asi Lao scored 12 points and 10 points, respectively...

to 112, the Hawks’ three stars forcefully brought the series back to Atlanta!

But every show must come to an end, and on May 4th, back home attempting another burst, the Hawks collapsed, making only 31 out of 82 shots, with a team shooting percentage below 40%.

Pierce scored 25 points with 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Joe Johnson 25 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Bibby 16 points with 3 assists. The three looked okay, at least they guaranteed a basic performance in scoring, but the rest of the team just couldn’t hit the shots. Out of 31 team-made baskets, the three of them accounted for 21 of them, while the others shot 33 times, making only 10 baskets!

In the end, the Bobcats only needed to defend against those three and the paint, leaving the role players wide open for shots!

The Bobcats’ shooting tonight wasn’t as good as the previous 5 games, but still reached their regular-season level, making 39 out of 83 shots with a 47% shooting accuracy.

Pushed to Game 6, the Bobcats’ overall strength and depth of roster were fully on display. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Zhang Yang only played 33 minutes tonight, making 8 out of 14 shots, including 4 out of 7 three-pointers, and hitting all 4 free throws, scoring 24 points with 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.

Okafor 18 points with 8 rebounds, Brad Miller 14 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Felton 15 points with 6 assists, Mike Miller 12 points, Millsap 11 points with 11 rebounds and 3 assists...

to 93, the Bobcats easily beat the Hawks.

After the final whistle, Zhang Yang and his teammates gathered to celebrate.

After 6 games, he averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, leading the Bobcats to defeat the Hawks 4 to 2, advancing to the second round!

Hearing the wild boos from the fans at the scene, Felton lamented: "If only we had won at home the day before yesterday, advancing to the next round amidst booing sounds..."

Zhang Yang: "Since we can’t fight it, let’s enjoy it, we’re the winners anyway!"

Felton: "True, we ended their season, leaving them to resort to booing. But I didn’t expect we would actually go to Game 6 with the Hawks, it’s so unusual. We used to sweep the first round."

Okafor interjected strongly: "Different opponents, different situations. In the past two years, we swept the first round because we just happened to completely counter the opponents. The Hawks are the type who can win one or two games against anyone, just like Jack got 38 points on high accuracy in Game 4, causing the opponent to collapse directly. The Hawks have two such players, in the future..."

Felton: "Yes, yes, we can’t underestimate them just because we beat the Hawks this time, we need to watch out for them in the future."

Okafor: "..."

Traitor misleads the team, boss is oblivious!

It’s worth mentioning that on the Magic and Cavaliers’ side, the score was 4 to 1, and King followed in the footsteps of a certain high school predecessor...
