Even the Euro step, which looks to put the most pressure on knees and ankles, wasn't the kind of physical style that Wade uses, but instead the more orthodox Euro step like Ginobili's.
Wade's Euro step often involves powering through people, whereas Zhang Yang would find openings by changing his direction and stepping through.
Moreover, Zhang Yang didn't use the Euro step very often, just three to five times per game. When Wade's regular offensive play broke down and his close-range shots were off, he would just plow in head-first, slip around with his footwork first.
Of course, there were negative reviews, mainly aimed at his number of shot attempts. In 28 minutes per game, he averaged 15.1 attempts, and the tag of "shoot first, pass never" had become synonymous with him.
Some media joked that with a 28% three-point shooting percentage, daring to take one three-pointer every 10 minutes, if Jack ever got his three-pointer down, he'd be throwing up eight to ten of them per game.
