204. Before the Curtain Falls on the Kidd Era

After the official timeout, the Bobcats sent out Rondo, Zhang Yang, Gerald Wallace, Jumaine Jones, and Perkins; the Nets sent out Eddie House, Carter, Richard Jefferson, Clifford Robinson, and Mikki Moore.

The Nets attacked.

Carter, facing Gerald Wallace's defense, made a crossover breakthrough, followed by a quick stop and a fadeaway jump shot. He scored!

It was the Bobcats' turn to attack. Zhang Yang, facing Richard Jefferson's defense, also chose to break through.

Richard Jefferson moved quickly, did not lose his position, and blocked Zhang Yang's direct route, forcing Zhang Yang to move baseline.

Zhang Yang reached the right side of the free-throw line and actively pushed towards Richard Jefferson.

Richard Jefferson quickly accelerated back to prevent Zhang Yang from turning and shooting.

Zhang Yang stopped suddenly, stepped back, and took a mid-range shot against the rushing-back Richard Jefferson... It also went in!
