244. Unprecedented game experience_2

Harden didn't pass the ball to the open Ibaka on the right, who was ready for a double team; instead, he abruptly stopped, stepped back, and shot a mid-range jumper one step within the free throw line... only to miss under the disruption of Zhang Yang!

Harden's unexpected step-back jumper was successfully predicted by Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang was certain that Harden wouldn't pass the ball, but he definitely wouldn't shoot within the double team of him, World Peace, and Gasol either. Nor would he stop for a jumper directly against him. That left Harden with only one choice!

Gasol secured the defensive rebound and quickly passed to Nash. After completing his shot disruption, Zhang Yang turned to see Gasol in a favorable rebounding position and immediately dashed down the court.
