212. Eastern Finals Begin! (Seeking votes with a 10,000-word plea)_6

Fans were curious, why did Jeff Van Gundy look clueless while coaching, yet witty and sharp when commentating?

After listening to Jeff Van Gundy's analysis, the fans were even more excited about the upcoming Eastern Conference games.

The game was quite a spectacle, and the coaching duel was also fascinating, with Saunders outmaneuvering Bickerstaff this time, leaving the players eager to see what adjustments the legendary coach would make.

Among the stars, the most dazzling was Zhang Yang!

With 41 points in a single game, at the age of 18 years and 355 days, he broke Magic's record set at the age of 20 years and 273 days for the youngest player to score over 40 points in a playoff game!

The time Magic scored over 40 points at 20 was in the 1980 Finals Game 6, when Jabbar was injured. He stepped up as center, exploited mismatches to score 42 points and led his team to the championship, earning the FMVP.
