However, even if they substituted the Magician, avoiding the sudden drop in offense due to his stamina decline, Del Harris felt that the current situation was not favorable.
The opening offense was excellent, but the opponent's offense was just as good! Moreover, they let the opponent's teamwork run smoothly, and their shots opened up!
...
Van Exel, Anthony Peeler, Sibaros, and Zhang Hao continued to be on the court, Campbell hadn't been substituted in yet, and Jason Williams was brought in.
Keep attacking! Use the recently notorious rebound-grabbing Jason Williams and Sibaros to form a double threat in the paint.
Zhang Hao felt a bit regretful when he got on the court. In the opening 6 minutes, shooting 4 out of 6 and 1 out of 2 free throws, he easily scored 9 points. It was too comfortable.
It's a pity that the Magician is no longer the dominant player who could play forty-three or four minutes in the playoffs. Now, he can only perform well in short bursts.
