Felton obeyed, stopped on his feet, and advanced the ball, but complained, "I can't take on Davis alone."
Zhang Yang pinched his thigh, "You could look for a pick-and-roll."
Felton: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!
Seeing Zhang Yang pick up his pace toward the frontcourt, Felton thought, Am I being shunned? No! That can't be. The kid just wants to quickly get there and use his movement to disrupt the defense, creating opportunities for me. Yes, that must be it.
Felton didn't speed up, taking until 7 seconds to cross the half-court line. Although they were both on the offensive, the Warriors wanted to play on the run, whereas the Mavericks preferred to settle into a half-court game and take their time.
Felton arrived at the perimeter, fending off Baron Davis's physical pressure to keep the ball securely in his possession.
Hmph, his ball protection, just like the one he learned from the kid, was solid as a rock!
