First in scoring

Chapter 481 479. Add me? Add me too!
Joe Johnson took the lead, and this shot really had some of the meaning of "modern Jordan".

Before his second retirement, Jordan made use of his unparalleled ability to stay in the air and his excellent wingspan; the modern Jordan is good at using his excellent height at the shooting guard position.

65 to 62, the Hawks lead by 3 points!
The Bobcats attacked again, and Felton was more careful in protecting the ball this time.

He was indeed careless in the last round. In the first three quarters, the three heavy point guards, Bibby, Acie Law and Mario West, almost did not make any gambling steals. Bibby suddenly attacked and caught him off guard. Of course, it was mainly because Bibby was strong enough. It would have been difficult for other 180-year-old point guards to stop him.

But he didn't, it's not too late to make amends.

Zhang Yang crossed the three-second zone from the left mid-range, and with the help of Afflalo's screen, he changed direction and ran to the right side of the top arc, but failed to shake off Pierce's pursuit. Pierce anticipated the situation and moved directly to the top arc, just catching up.

Zhang Yang was not surprised. He received the ball on the right side and broke through. Pierce, who had just caught up, braked and moved to the left and back. Zhang Yang rushed forward, stopped suddenly, stepped back to the three-point line, collected the ball, jumped, and shot a three-pointer facing Pierce who was rushing back...

hit!

Pierce defended very hard and did his best, but Zhang Yang also made full use of that slight difference in rhythm, and each of his movements was exactly one beat faster than Pierce!
The fat guy felt a little pain in his balls. Talent was really cruel. The little brother only picked up the regular step-back shot again in the middle of the season. He taught him personally. It's only been a few months? The little brother dared to use this move against Pierce, who was a top-notch defender, and he used it really well!
When it was the Hawks' turn to attack, Pierce asked for the ball from the high post and back-passed Afflalo, then turned around and stepped back to make a two-point shot!

The fans first said "Oh" with regret. Afflalo was the role player with the best combination of offensive participation, long-range shooting and one-on-one defense tonight. Compared with the two matches against the Hawks in the early part of the season, we can see his improvement during the season after laying a solid foundation for defensive basics and having stable playing time in his sophomore year. However, he still failed to defend Pierce, who was trying hard to return the step-back shot by Zhang Yang just now.

But then the fans started cheering, Zhang Yang went to the frontcourt and asked for the ball directly from the outside, and they got into a fight!

The step-back shot is one of Pierce's signature scoring methods. Zhang Yang shot a ball towards Pierce, and Pierce responded immediately. The fans at the scene were expecting Zhang Yang to continue making moves, and their bad boy did not let them down!
Facing Pierce's defense, Zhang Yang took a triple-threat stance after receiving the ball. Seeing this, the other Bobcats players began to move to help Zhang Yang ensure the threat of "passing".

Due to his height disadvantage, Zhang Yang stepped forward to the right. On his first step, Pierce did not move. Zhang Yang took the second step directly. Pierce reacted in time and followed Zhang Yang's steps. Zhang Yang's movements suddenly slowed down. Pierce quickly pressed forward to prevent him from retreating. Zhang Yang stood up again, passed Pierce, rushed to the right side of the free throw line, stopped suddenly, and jumped!
After Horford passed the ball to Afflalo who was screened by Millsap on the right sideline, he cut off the ball and then made a follow-up, but it was too late. He could only watch Zhang Yang make a quick stop and jump shot from the free throw line!

67 to 67, the score is tied again!
The fans at the scene cheered loudly, and the fight began! The Bad Boys fought one against two, challenging the modern Jordan and the truth!

The three of them were equally excited. Now was the time to demonstrate their personal abilities. No one wanted to back down, nor could they back down.

Then Pierce continued to single out Afflalo, and after a series of tentative steps, he made a mid-range shot.

When the Bobcats attacked, Zhang Yang suddenly shot a three-pointer... He failed to make three consecutive shots. In order to avoid being blocked by Pierce, he leaned back and increased the power of his shot, hitting the ball close to the neck of the basket.

Pierce wanted to press on with his victory and took his third shot in a row, but it missed!
Okafor held his position, Millsap grabbed the defensive rebound and accurately passed the ball to Zhang Yang who was running fast. Zhang Yang stopped abruptly one step outside the arc and shot another three-pointer facing the oncoming Pierce... and it hit!
70比69，张杨4投3中独得8分，帮助山猫队反超比分！
It was the Hawks' turn to attack. Joe Johnson took over the offensive banner and faced Zhang Yang in the high position, but he had no chance and was forced to turn around and post up.

He is 3-4 cm taller than Zhang Yang barefoot, but his arm span is much shorter. He doesn't know if it is an illusion, but he feels that Zhang Yang's shoulder breadth and arm span are better than when they met in the early stage of the season.

In post-up singles, he made the most of his height advantage, but he couldn't handle Zhang Yang, the new generation's power monster, by brute force or turning around. He could only turn around and jump shot like he did in the previous shot... and hit the target with a fade away!
The Eagles regained a 1-point lead!
But this slight advantage was soon gone. Looking back, Zhang Yang used the threat of two consecutive three-pointers, raised his hand to shake off Pierce, and rushed straight into the inside. He used the European step to avoid Horford's defense, stepped behind Pachulia and made a layup!
When it was the Hawks' turn to attack, Joe Johnson continued to play one-on-one, and he still made a turnaround jump shot. Zhang Yang did not rush into it. He followed Okafor's example and just provided enough interference.

This kind of defense doesn't seem as strong as the close combat when he faces Rose, Westbrook, Wade, and Kobe, but it is very effective in defending against pure technical players like Joe Johnson!

Joe Johnson took his third difficult shot in a row...and failed to hit it again!
The Hawks did a good job of retreating, and the Bobcats failed to start a fast break, but Zhang Yang once again passed Pierce, broke through one step outside the free throw line, and faced Horford who had made an early stop and shot...

The ball spun towards the basket, and once again hit the basket near the neck after scoring two goals in a row, but this time the ball bounced a bit and fell into the basket due to the force of its rotation!
进了！张杨连进3球，先是和3投2中的皮尔斯打了个平手，然后击败3投2中的乔-约翰逊，末节开局6投5中，独得12分，帮助山猫队以74比71领先老鹰队3分！
The fans at the scene cheered wildly, here it comes, this is it!

In the last game against the Rockets, Zhang Yang also went on a rampage in the final quarter, pinning down four top scorers on the opposing team: Kevin Martin, Yi Jianlian, Scola, and Lopez!
The modern Jordan and Truth were a little confused. Did they play well? Wasn't it a highlight moment? They started with 6 of 4 shots and scored 9 points in two and a half minutes. Usually, such performance is enough to suppress the opponent at the beginning of the fourth quarter, build momentum and pave the way for victory... But this time they fell behind by 3 points!
The key point is that after their consecutive singles, they reached the stage where they needed to slow down the tempo and engage in a tug-of-war with their opponents, but Zhang San on the opposite side seemed to be in high spirits, becoming more and more courageous as the fight went on... It's not like they haven't encountered such players before - physical freaks like Kobe and Iverson!
Their physical strength is actually not bad, enough to shoulder the responsibility of carrying the team through offense, but it is definitely not the best. It is about the same as Zhang Yang at the beginning of his junior year, around 90.

Both of them have had seasons in which they averaged 25+ points per game, but when they were scoring like that, they couldn't take care of anything else. In the 06-07 season, Joe Johnson averaged 25+ points per game, but his defensive efficiency plummeted to a career low, scoring 100 points per 114 possessions against his opponent, the same as Nash's defensive efficiency that season. Pierce was similar. When he had Anthony Walker as his teammate, he was the same as now, with top offense and first-rate defense. After Fat Head Tuo was traded, his offense became top-notch, averaging 25+ points per game year after year, but his defense was at the bottom of the list year after year.

But even when their team is in a bad state and they don't have to worry about anything and just need to score points, they can't keep shooting as efficiently as Zhang Yang!
When the Hawks started attacking, Pierce and Joe Johnson reached the frontcourt and simultaneously reached out for the ball.

Pierce is in his 11th year of career and Joe Johnson is in his 8th year of career. The two of them were suppressed by a kid who is not even 21 years old... They are unwilling to accept this!

But Bibby didn't pass the ball. He came on his own, singled out Felton, and failed to completely pass Felton when he broke through the three-point line. He took the initiative to seek confrontation, took a step sideways along the rebound force, jumped, and took a long two-point shot... Hit! It also caused Felton, who subconsciously pressed forward after the confrontation, to foul!

Truth and the contemporary Jordan both excitedly rushed up to high-five the White Devil to celebrate.

The White Devil remained calm. He turned to the two guns on his hips and said, "One on one? Can I join in?"

Xiao Fei pursed his lips slightly: "F**K..."

Zhang San also cursed in a low voice: "Fuck!"

Pierce and Joe Johnson took turns playing one-on-one for 6 rounds and felt they needed to slow down. Zhang Yang's ease... was just pretending. It was just to put pressure on the opponent and give himself confidence.

However, his situation is indeed better than the two brothers on the opposite side. He only played for 25 minutes in the first three quarters, had fewer shots, and spent most of his energy on the defensive end, but he relied on teamwork and was a normal defensive player.

The two guys on the opposite side played for 30 minutes each, and the Hawks' 1-4 positions were all passing points, averaging a minimum of 3 assists per game, so they had more to do than him.

He is willing to continue competing with the two brothers, but the newly joined White Devil is a fresh force!

Bibby played even less time in the first three quarters, 23 minutes!

Felton heard Zhang Yang couldn't help but shout out a plant, looked at Bibby's egg-headed face as he walked to the free throw line, and clenched his fists...

Bibby also made the free throw, 74 to 74, the Hawks tied the score!
In the offense-defense transition, Felton advanced to the frontcourt, protected the ball sideways and looked at Zhang Yang running around the three-second zone, suddenly turned around, took a step to the left, and broke through!

Bibby was caught off guard, but he remained calm and did not panic. He moved sideways and pressed forward... but it didn't work! Felton was even stronger than him!
Felton rushed all the way to the left elbow area, stopped suddenly, and took a step back jump shot facing Horford who was defending... but was tackled.

The referee blew the whistle and the ball went into the basket...

The scene cheered loudly again!
Felton fell to the ground, roaring and punching and kicking, and Horford, who wanted to pull him up, was so scared that he quickly dodged.

After being pulled up by his teammates, Xiao Fei said to the White Devil: "One on one? Add me in, too!"
