Public opinion environment being too favorable is not necessarily a good thing.

Zhang Yang watched as Jarett Jack and Millsap stretched the lead to 40 points... his teammates were really ruthless!

He only played for 25 minutes tonight, 9 in the first quarter, 8 in the second, 8 in the third; shooting 8 for 12, including 1 for 2 from the three-point line, and a perfect 4 for 4 from the free-throw line, scoring 21 points with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

He set the tone in the first quarter, scoring 6 points in a row and after a quick 6-0 run against the Knight team, the situation spiraled out of control.

Setting aside his initial streak of 3 baskets, he actually shot 5 for 9 afterward, performing efficiently but not explosively.

The lead kept widening, with his teammates showing absolutely no mercy to the visiting team. Even in garbage time, when the opposing players seemed to have given up and stop running their plays, Jarett Jack and Millsap kept hammering them mercilessly.
