Zhang Hao's hand flipped down from the right side of his head, wrist and fingers exerting force, the ball swiftly bounced off the floor forward. Zhang Hao followed up, dodging Rashid Wallace's defense, grabbed the ball, stepped inside the three-point line at the free throw arc, shot a mid-range... and scored!
Although Kenny Anderson didn't get the assist on this play, he completely dominated it, coordinating with Doug Christie to keep Isaiah Rider and George Lynch in check with their off-ball screens... executing a very strategic play focusing on the shooter!
Throughout the season, their coordination saw more variations.
As for Nash's taunting solo plays, Kenny Anderson certainly took advantage of it. Could he not see Nash trying to provoke him into solo plays to reduce Zhang Hao's shots?
Without any verbal exchange, just that one play, Nash felt his ears burning.
