Zhang Yang scored 23 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists, leading the Bobcats to defeat the Knights and claim a 7-game winning streak, setting a new team record!
This result wasn't beyond the fans' expectations.
"James represents the class of '03 against the Bad Boys Legion" This topic, though hotly debated with words like 'resist aggression' and 'dignity', suggested that not many believed the Knights could win.
Even the more rational Knights fans didn't think they had much chance of winning, except for a few who believed James definitely would win. Those few were very vocal online, creating the illusion to the onlookers that many believed in James' victory, and making many non-James fans think all his fans were like that.
Last season's playoffs had already proven that the Bobcats' playstyle severely countered James, and the addition of Muhammad during the off-season was seen by the Knights fans as a move specifically aimed at stopping James.
