After playing for three rounds continuously, it's time to ease up and ensure stamina continuity. It's also time to let teammates participate in the offense. Running too much and losing form is not good.
When the Felton + Okafor pick-and-roll combination initiated a pick-and-roll offense with Millsap assisting, Zhang Yang started moving around. Having opened the game with 3 consecutive goals and 8 points, his movement was a maximum drag.
Felton penetrated close and passed to Millsap on the left side of the three-second zone. Millsap passed to Okafor at the high post, and Okafor then passed to the right 45-degree angle. Pietrus caught the ball and attempted a three-pointer... It was a good opportunity, but unfortunately, it didn't go in.
Immediately, Hinrich leveraged the threat of a pass-and-cut cooperation, faked a drive and made a step-back after the screen, caught Millsap off guard, hit the three-pointer, and narrowed the gap to 3 points!
