And although Zhang Yang's defense wasn't as fierce as Felton's, he was faster, more aware, and able to keep up with the pace. His interference both before and during shooting was very well done.
They struggled against Zhang Yang, but trying to restrict him was difficult... Give him a little space within the three-point line and Zhang Yang would unexpectedly shoot, with a quick release. Stick too close to him, and Zhang Yang would easily get past them with his great sense of rhythm and head to the basket.
Every rookie who played one-on-one with Zhang Yang, regardless of win or loss, felt like hitting someone... but didn't dare.
This was thanks to ESPN's "help".
In order to link the Bobcats with the "Bad Boys Legion", ESPN crazily piled on negative stories about the team.
On Zhang Yang's side, nobody knew how ESPN found out that on his first day joining the North Carolina Jeet Kune Do club, he beat up all the main fighters there.
