Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Gilliam, then immediately sprinted down the court!
Even Zhang Hao, whose speed has declined significantly due to fatigue, was surprised by Larry Johnson's failure to score what seemed like a sure shot. However, the Hornets' defense was timely. When teams are tired, their execution usually improves, especially for strong teams. The Hornets happened to be one such strong team.
Just as Burrell and Glenn Rice were about to trap Zhang Hao at the midline, within two or three body lengths, Zhang Hao suddenly sped up, even faster than Kenny Anderson approaching the midline, and he crossed the line first!
Because one second earlier, Zhang Hao had surpassed Kenny Anderson, triggering the "Single Rider" Golden Medal!
