167. Unlimited Firepower_4

Even without the Knicks' recent record of 5 wins and 3 losses, just this point alone was enough to tell Zhang Yang that tonight's game was not to be taken lightly.

The game started late, and it was broadcast live in China, being the NBA's first featured game of the 2007 season in the Chinese market.

At 9 p.m., Eddie Curry beat Okafor to win the jump ball and the game began!

Bobcats' starting lineup: Felton, Zhang Yang, Gerald Wallace, Okafor, Perkins.

Knicks' starting lineup: Marbury, Big Q, Malik Rose, Frye, Eddie Curry.

Zhang Yang quickly retreated to the wing, catching up with the fast-breaking Malik Rose.

Watching the 213 cm and 136 kg Eddie Curry with a quicker jump than Okafor, Perkins began retreating from the three-point line towards the basket. After winning the jump ball, Eddie Curry almost beat him to the basket first; his physical talent was simply amazing!
