Back-to-back in the first battle, the Bobcats took it easy and won. The following evening, the Bobcats' home court welcomed the match against the Hawks team.
At 6:40 p.m., at Tuhang Stadium, the visiting Hawks team entered the arena first.
Zhang Yang stood at the entrance of the player's tunnel, watching as Pierce, Horford, Pachulia, Bibby, and Joe Johnson entered the arena one by one. No matter what he said or how confident he felt inside, the pressure was still there seeing the starting lineup of the opposing team.
After the entrance ceremony, the two teams exchanged pleasantries, mainly the two major stars from the Hawks team who were very enthusiastic.
In past encounters with the Hawks and the Celtics, it was rare to see a smile on the faces of Joe Johnson and Pierce, as their brows were always furrowed. This time, they enthusiastically came over to greet them, almost as if they were... showing off their new teammate?
Even the stoic Bibby was all smiles when he greeted Hill.
