The devastating loss to the Pistons in the second round made both of them deeply feel the gap between them and top teams. Although they hadn't won in the regular season either, there would immediately be a new opponent after a game, leaving no spare time for 'reflecting on failure.' However, the playoffs were different... one could truly come to resent a team because of it.
If you lost in the playoffs, you would think about that defeat for the entire offseason.
Anyway, Zhang Yang thought about the series against the Pistons every day these days.
Despite their frustration, the gap in strength was too significant. In Game 3, their team erupted in an all-out effort but only managed to win by 5 points. If the Bobcats wanted to possess the Pistons' level of strength, they had a long way to go... But as someone rightly said, the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago and now. If you feel the gap, then train!
