Felton received the inbound pass and advanced to the front court, passing it to Zhang Yang. Tonight he had more demanding tasks to handle, so he didn't start the game as aggressively as in previous matches, instead pulling over to the left sideline to play a supporting role.
Zhang Yang was quickly closed in as soon as he dribbled to the three-point line. He sidestepped to create a bit of space, then directly charged forward, boxing out Delonte West, pushing hard for a breakthrough, easily bypassing the opponent, but didn't get a chance for a stop-and-shoot!
James blocked him outside the free-throw line, covering Zhang Yang's stop-and-shoot space. Marvin Williams moved to the right mid-range area, while Delonte West was chasing and doubling, keeping an eye on the passing lanes of Pietrus, who was looping from the wing to the top arc. Big Z and Mo Williams also moved in sync to guard against weak-side cuts.
