Kenny Anderson continued to cut in, Aaron McKie still chose to assist in defending Zhang Hao. Nash was closely pursuing, but if Zhang Hao took a turnaround fadeaway, Nash could do nothing but collide with Zhang Hao's crotch.
Sabonis didn't focus on positioning this time but chose to assist in defending Kenny Anderson.
Sure enough, Zhang Hao distributed the ball, but it wasn't Kenny Anderson who received it; it was Barkley!
Jason Williams moved out to block Rashid Wallace, who was defending Barkley. Barkley received Zhang Hao's long pass directly into the basket on the left side of the three-second area!
Sabonis was prepared this time, not only blocking Kenny Anderson's inbound shot but also quickly moving to the charge circle line without jumping, shielding Barkley's direct shooting space.
But is Barkley that easy to defend?
