On the Bobcats' side, Carlisle patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder: "Jack, get out there and crush Ginobili!"
Zhang Yang was also very excited, handed his training jersey to Alan Anderson and said, "I've been waiting two and a half quarters, finally this moment is here."
Seeing Zhang Yang eagerly head to the scoring table to powder up his hands, Vincent said to Carlisle: "Rick, you and Jack are becoming more in sync! He just adjusts his playstyle and you can grasp his intent on-the-fly."
Carlisle: "It's not to that extent; we simply communicate often and exchange views. Maybe after some more time, we can reach that level.
After morning prep training ended, Jack and I chatted a bit and mentioned the Spurs' adept half-court defense."
Vincent analyzed after the fact: "The Spurs' rotations around Duncan are quick, their three-point coverage and wing penetration blocking are excellent. Combined with Duncan's rim protection, they have always been one of the best defensive teams.
