It's the Pacers' turn to attack, and Granger doesn't continue to isolate but instead opens up for a play.
It's not that he's really afraid of Zhang Yang's defense; he stands 203 centimeters barefoot with a 217-centimeter wingspan. At critical moments, forced shots are nearly impossible to block. But it's not yet time to disrupt shooting rhythm just to gamble on a hot hand.
But after spreading out, Granger realized something was wrong—damn kid, this isn't a national team match, why are you defending so aggressively and physically?
While wrestling with Zhang Yang, he observed his teammates and discovered that Dunleavy and Murphy were also facing physical defense from Pietrus and Millsap!
Only the big-bodied Hibbert wasn't encountering a physical defense; Okafor was merely blocking Hibbert, preventing him from easily cutting to the basket.
Granger immediately understood why Zhang Yang was defending him tonight.
