Pierce and Bibby's double-team was actually executed better this time than last, giving Felton less time to retreat, but Felton exerted his strength and controlled the direction better. The ball grazed the inside of the opposite rim and fell inside!
83 to 81, the Bobcats lead again!
Bibby remained calm, made the best judgment, and was determined to make the shot.
Felton's thought was much simpler—at a time like this, who's going to shoot if not me? Unless it's my little brother...
Felton's thought could be described as reckless, but the effect was not much different from Bibby's "as long as your heart is determined."
The main reason is still the improvement in skills. Adjustments in gameplay over four years, basic skills refinement, and game training. Although Felton's All-Star selection this year mainly relied on performance, he has touched the edge of becoming an All-Star, with the potential to truly become an All-Star-caliber player in the next few years.
