Bynum made the penalty shot too, 35-34, the Timberwolves were biting at the score!
On the switch from offense to defense, Zhang Yang continued to drive with the ball... encountering an early double team in the elbow area, he passed back to the free-throw line, Rondo received the ball and drove straight down the middle, drawing Bynum out. Then, with a delicate lob pass that just flew over the fingertips of the jumping Bynum, Perkins caught the ball behind Bynum's back, and slammed it down with both hands, returning the favor to Bynum's earlier alley-oop!
When Zhang Yang faced defenders who were strong on man-to-man defense, he acted as the off-ball playmaker; when he could play to an absolute advantage on his own, Rondo and Hill took the role of playmaker, and occasionally Millsap got the chance to practice playmaking in live action. After playing for nearly a month, they had a clear response strategy for these situations.
