The Magician was far from the three-point line; seeing the fierce duo of Gerald Wilkins and Zhang Yang rush up directly to double-team him made him feel unsettled.
Tonight, they planned to start unconventionally, with him scoring solo points to open the game and then connecting the whole team. But the opponent's reaction was overly intense!
Faced with Gerald Wilkins covering him tightly and Zhang Yang reaching for the ball, the Magician nearly turned the ball over.
Luckily, his seasoned instincts kicked in as he raised the ball high, using his height advantage to avoid the two's steal attempt, seizing the opportunity to pass the ball to the awaiting Byron Scott.
Byron Scott passed the ball to Divac at the left elbow area.
