The Bobcats and the Hawks faced off in Game 1, kicking off the second round.
On the 9th, the next day, two series started: Bulls vs. Cavaliers, and Lakers vs. Nuggets.
The media that gathered in Charlotte mostly left early this morning. By the time Zhang Yang arrived at Tuhang Stadium near noon, there were significantly fewer cameras inside and outside the stadium compared to the last rest day, which was the day before yesterday.
This was expected. In the series between the Bobcats and the Hawks, the biggest highlight was the pre-game award ceremony of Game 1. After that, although the series still had plenty of attention thanks to Zhang San, it didn't attract mainstream media teams for coverage as Game 1 did; a follow-up team was sufficient.
Yao Ming vs. James, Kobe vs. Iverson, the Cinderella team, in terms of topics, each of these matches outshone the Bobcats vs. Hawks series.
