212. Eastern Finals Begin! (Seeking votes with a 10,000-word plea)_3

Gerald Wallace pulled back from the mid-range to the interior and lunged forward, poking Prince's forced shot out of the air!

The ball continued toward the basket but fell short midway.

Perkins grabbed the ball and passed it to Zhang Yang inside the free-throw line, who turned and pushed forward on the counterattack.

Facing Billups who was retreating under the basket, Zhang Yang protected the ball and, using his height advantage, made a successful jumper!

The Pistons called for a timeout!

With 6 minutes and 11 seconds on the clock, Zhang Yang had 6 points and 1 assist, Felton had 6 points and 2 assists, Gerald Wallace had 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block, Okafor had 4 points, and the Bobcats led the Pistons by 6 points with 20 to 14!

After the timeout, Bickerstaff subbed in Rondo, Zhang Yang, Gerald Wallace, Muhammad, and Okafor for a combination that strengthened the defense.
