First in scoring

Chapter 484 482. Crazy Ending (Continued)

In March, the Bulls achieved a record of 3 wins and 12 losses. Yao Ming averaged 4 points, 23.5 rebounds, 10 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, ending Zhang Yang's three consecutive wins as Player of the Month and beating James to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award!

Zhang Yang wondered why the Bulls were ignored. Maybe it was because the opponent last night was the Cavaliers, so all the attention was focused on James.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Bulls performed well in late February, with 2 wins and 3 loss, but their performance plummeted at the start of March, with 1 wins and 3 losses in the first 7 games. In the second half of the month, after adjusting their defensive rhythm, they became aggressive again, first testing their skill in 4 games in 3 days from the 16th to the 19th, with 4 wins and 3 loss, and then in the second half of the month, they won all 2 games!
The Bulls are currently 47-25, and they are definitely on their way to 50 wins! If they fight hard, they might even reach 55 wins!
Zhang Sanming was instantly happy when the little giant won the award. As long as it wasn't classmate King...

He was worried before because James won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in the first month, and won it twice in March. If he wins it again in April, he will tie with Zhang San, and he knows that James and the Cavaliers have that ability.

As for the so-called victory contribution rate, efficiency, hit rate... Zhang San is definitely not as good as KING. The Cavaliers can also win more than 60 games, and their Bobcats cannot take a big lead unless they get 70 wins. In the end, he may not really get an advantage in the MVP voting.

But now, he has secured the most monthly player awards this season a month in advance!
When facing the media, he always said frankly that he wanted this kind of thing, and of course he cared more about it in private.

However, the Bulls' performance in March made him feel once again the competitiveness of this opponent in the playoffs. Most teams with a defensive foundation have excellent adjustment capabilities, such as the Bobcats, Hawks, and Bulls.

In the Western Conference, Paul won Player of the Month, averaging 25.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 11.4 assists and 2.8 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 51%. He led the Hornets to a 10-5 record in the month and secured a playoff spot.

Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Pao... Oh no, he should be called Brother Pao now, he is really fierce! Brother Pao's performance in March is no different from risking his life to fight for a playoff spot! He played an average of 3 minutes in 15 games this month!

So far this season, Paul has only missed 12 games in December and played in 4 games, averaging 67 points, 23.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 11.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 2.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 50.6%... A 37cm small guard who mainly breaks through the basket and has a shooting percentage of 183%+, Zhang Yang was amazed.

For some reason, Zhang Yang thought of Wade. He felt that neither the Hornets nor the Heat were worthy of the No. 3 superstar...

...

Near noon, Zhang Yang received a call from Felton and came to the Turkish Airlines Arena.

Felton, who got a 3+1 contract worth tens of millions a year and played a trick on Boss Joe on April Fool's Day last year, felt a little guilty. He gets hot-headed easily, and after getting 60 wins last night, he decided to apologize today for his April Fool's Day prank last year, so he ordered flowers and fruits, and this morning went to a photo store in the city to print out a huge and handsome photo of Boss Joe on the court when he was young, and framed it, in order to decorate the office for Boss Joe.

Zhang Yang, Hill, Okafor, Ibaka, Millsap... and others also bought gifts.

But when the eldest gang arrived at the boss’ office, they found the door locked!

Hill: "I guessed it. Michael would definitely lock the door and not let us in, fearing that we would mess up his office again."

Felton: "Isn't he too narrow-minded? Are we that kind of people?"

Zhang Yang: "Yeah, I can't even burn incense for the Second Master today!"

Felton: "Ah! Yes! I also said I would burn incense for the Second Master and ask him to protect me from being tricked by others today... Or should I break the door open? With my tonnage, this door can't stop me!"

Seeing Felton eager to try, Hill quickly stopped him: "We are here to apologize, not to tear down Michael's office!"

"Oh, that's right..." Felton stopped, with an expression of regret on his face. "Then what should we do with our things? Call Michael to open the door? No! Since it's a surprise, we can't tell him in advance."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and replied, "We are sending flowers, fruits and posters as gifts. It doesn't really matter whether they are placed inside or not. Michael may not like the way we display them. Just put them at the door. Boss, please notify Michael's secretary. His secretary will definitely know how to place the gifts to make Michael most satisfied. Let's go eat first."

This suggestion seemed quite reliable, and everyone responded by putting photo frames at the door of the room and placing flowers, fruits and gifts around it.

While Felton was on the phone with Jordan's secretary, Okafor and Hill looked at the apology gifts that had been prepared. They felt something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Not long after the group left, Boss Joe came to the Turkish Airlines Arena with his secretary, got off the car and went straight to his office.

Cuban Mimi parked the car and quickly chased after him and asked, "Boss, how about I put the gifts in place first and then you can go and see? Raymond said they put the gifts right in front of the office door, so it might be a mess."

"No, I'll go now. I want to open and put away the gifts my teammates gave me myself!" Jordan tried to keep his tone calm, but he couldn't suppress the smile.

Being the owner of an NBA team, besides fulfilling the dreams of being a player, being in the limelight, getting honors, making money... the rest is all about getting along with the players and coaches.

Although I sometimes get really mad at some of my teammates, these guys can occasionally be so cute. Isn’t this the fun of being a boss?

Jordan walked around the corner expectantly, saw his office door, and then crashed.

There were handsome photos, indeed; there were a lot of flowers and fruits; there were also a lot of gifts...but!
Next to the huge handsome photo framed in a frame is a circle of flowers, outside the flowers are three piles of fruits, and the outermost circle is neatly and orderly surrounded by a circle of gifts... Are these bastards here to apologize or to mourn?
...

After a day of rest, on the second rest day, the Bobcats resumed training.

During the preparatory meetings and training, Zhang Yang clearly felt the changes in his teammates, which can be described in one word - more pure.

It's a bit like the beginning of the season, when the team didn't set any goals for performance. Everyone trained very actively and attentively, but there was no pressure. Of course, there are differences as well. At that time, they were confused and didn't know what the result would be of abandoning the pure offensive basketball that was quite successful in last season's regular season and switching to an integrated offense and defense. Now they have basically secured first place. The second-placed Cavaliers in the East and the first-placed Spurs in the West currently both have 55 wins and 18 losses. With nine games left, the two teams can get a maximum of 9 wins. The Bobcats have 64 games left and already have 10 wins and 60 losses. Other teams can only compete for second place. They know they are heading in the right direction and their goals are clearer.

This is obviously a very good sign. Only with focus and purity can we better complete the adjustments before the playoffs.

But there was something wrong... Boss Qiao looked at them strangely today. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Did he not like the gifts from yesterday? Or did someone's gift offend Boss Qiao?

After a day of preparation, on April 4, the Bobcats' 3rd regular season game day arrived, and they faced the challenge of the Lakers at home.

At 7:40 p.m., players from both teams entered the stadium and had a cordial and friendly exchange.

The relationship seems to be very harmonious, because yesterday afternoon when the Big Three of the Lakers were interviewed, they all said that Zhang Yang is their MVP this season, and there is no second choice.

Not to mention the Bobcats players, when the visiting team entered the stadium, the Big Three all heard Bobcats fans on both sides of the player tunnel shouting MVP at them.

Respect and recognize your competitors. How can you not respect such opponents?
After the greetings, Zhang Yang glanced at the data on the other side on the big screen.

The Lakers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference with 53 wins and 20 losses... It is very different from his impression. He remembers that the Lakers should have had around 65 wins. It is difficult to get 60 wins here.

This is related to Garnett's age and excessive consumption when he was young on the Timberwolves.

加内特赛季至今只打了50场，场均出场时间也只有29分钟，场均拿到14.8分8.3板3.6助攻1.3抢断1.3盖帽，数据是自新秀赛季过后的最差，这表现显然和这赛季在灰熊队场均18分11板4助攻2盖帽的加索尔没法比。

Kwame Brown and rookie Marc Gasol, who are behind Garnett, also have a clear gap with Bynum, who is in his fourth year of his career.

There are good things. With the help of Kidd and Kobe, Garnett shot 54.1%, a career high.

And Garnett's health condition is much better than Zhang Yang remembered!
He remembered that in the original time and space, Garnett played with injuries for a long time in the regular season this season. The last accidental fall became the fuse. The cruciate ligament was torn and the season was over. It became a watershed in his career. After his comeback, Garnett's athletic ability collapsed across the board. Although his link-up defensive ability is still among the best in the league, his single defense is useless. On the offensive end, he can only catch the ball and shoot in positional battles. His counterattack ability, which was once among the top five in the league at the power forward position, is gone.

Here, Garnett is treated as a treasure by the Zen Master and is used sparingly. Although his statistics have dropped significantly, his efficiency has increased instead of decreased. He was often injured in the early stage of the season and had missed 1 games by mid-January. This is also the reason why Garnett's popularity has declined this season. Last year, he was the Western Conference vote leader. Since late January, Garnett's injuries have decreased significantly, and he has only missed 20 games so far.

Garnett had his playing time reduced and was kept in a state of recovery + was put on the bench to rest by the Zen Master because he was prone to injuries + his playing style was adjusted with the help of the legendary Lakers trainer Gary Viddy, allowing him to successfully overcome this injury crisis that caused him to fall out of the ranks of top stars!
基德和科比出场时间也控制得很低，基德场均只打28分钟，拿到9分6.2板8.1助攻；科比场均打35分钟，拿到26.8分5.2板3.7助攻，不过这也让两人健康状况保持得非常好。

This is the first time since the 01-02 season that Kidd has not missed a game until April. He is expected to have his fourth perfect attendance in his career, and Kobe is also expected to have his perfect attendance for two consecutive years.

Obviously, as one of the top coaches in history with almost full hands of championship rings, the Zen Master knows what a team like theirs wants and what is secondary.

At 8 pm, the game between the Bobcats and the Lakers starts.

Both teams regarded each other as the final opponent in the championship competition and started fighting with all their might from the start.

但情况和两队预想的都不一样，他们以为会像2月初那样打得无比焦灼，但实际情况……首节25比20、第二节25比20、第三节26比20，三节打完，山猫队以76比60领先湖人队16分！
Kobe was extremely missed tonight, missing 18 shots in the first three quarters, especially in the third quarter, where he missed 10 shots. He made 24 of 6 shots in the first three quarters, including 7 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring only 17 points.

As for Zhang Yang, his touch was so hot that he could make the shot even when Ariza or Kobe were close to him. When Garnett or Kidd double-teamed him, he would pass the ball without any hesitation. He didn't throw the ball just because he had a good touch. This made the Lakers hesitate to double-team him. In the first three quarters, he made 13 of 8 shots, including 5 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 4 free throws, and got 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists!

As early as the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats noticed the difference in status between their top scorer and the opponent's top scorer, and they had been focusing on this point!

Kobe is Kobe. In the final quarter, he took off again, making 10 of 6 shots in the quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 17 points and leading the Lakers to 34 points in a single quarter and a fierce pursuit.

However, Zhang Yang's side did not panic. He played the game as he should and led the team to stabilize the situation. Although he did not explode like the opponent, he maintained his scoring efficiency and threat in the first three quarters. He scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, led the team to score 28 points, and firmly guarded the victory to the end!
16投10中，其中三分球5中3，加上7中6的罚球，张杨高效拿到29分，外加12板10助攻2抢断，率领山猫队以104比94击败湖人队！
First triple-double of the season! Triple-double for 3 consecutive seasons!
It's actually quite difficult for him to get a triple-double. He had a triple-double for 3 consecutive seasons, 3 times in total...

不过相比这个，他更高兴的是有人在他面前单场20铁了……科比34投12中拿到34分，怒打22铁！
The sound of wind, rain and iron hammering, the sound of iron hammering is particularly pleasant tonight!
...

It feels really good to occasionally encounter a situation where our competitors are in a slump and we win easily.

The fierce confrontation is exciting, but it is even more refreshing to see the old blacksmith hitting 20 irons on the same course.

Zhang Yang feels that this end-of-season adjustment phase has gotten off to a good start.

The next day, April 4, the NBA was on a day off. At noon, Zhang San brought Little Bitch, Little Fat Boss and his new girlfriend, Boss Joe and his new model to Raleigh, a two-hour drive away.

North Carolina has reached the Madness finals for two consecutive years. This year's Madness final four will be held in Raleigh, which is home to the Oak Center, the largest indoor sports complex in the Carolinas.

In fact, the Bobcats are going to Boston this afternoon and will have a three-game road trip starting tomorrow, but their alma mater has made it to the finals and is nearby, so Zhang Yang, Felton, and Jordan have to show up there. Jordan has already arranged the route and will use his private jet to take Zhang Yang and Felton to Boston the next morning.

This large venue, which is usually only used for concerts and acrobatic troupe performances, has 5 seats and was still packed. The three people appeared on the sidelines, further heating up the already hot atmosphere. When the big screen camera was focused on Zhang Yang, tens of thousands of people shouted "MVP" in unison.

North Carolina made it to the finals, and naturally, the majority of people who came to watch the game were local fans.

In the Carolina area, where campus basketball attracts more attention than professional basketball, Zhang Yang has carved out a niche for himself!
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that he is a graduate student at North Carolina... In order to get closer to his boss, he chose to study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He didn't expect that he would be able to get any benefits from this in the end, but the fundamental reason was that he played well.

After the North Carolina and Michigan players entered the stadium, the three were also invited to take photos and sign autographs, etc.

Looking at the two teams that could knock down a bunch of top 16 high school students in the United States with a single slap, Zhang Yang lamented that talent is ultimately what matters in competitive sports. It's true that there were many upsets in the first two rounds this year, but those teams that suffered upsets were lucky enough to make it to the round of . It was a miracle that an elementary school student led the team to the semi-finals last year.

Zhang Yang is quite familiar with the guys in North Carolina. The remaining three of the new four, Hansbrough, Lawson, and Wayne Ellington, and the three supporting players Danny Green, Ed Davis, and Dion Thompson are also very strong. There is also a talented inside player on the edge of the bench, Tyler Zeller, who was ranked 08th among the national high school students in the class of 18. He is the future inside core of North Carolina and will replace Hansbrough who may leave college at any time.

The opposing Michigan team also had a lot of talent. During the Crazy Three Phase, they played with an 11-man rotation, with 10 of the top 7 high school students in the United States. However, their fame was not nearly as high as that of North Carolina. Zhang Yang didn't recognize any of the seven core players, but he recognized the freshman who was on the edge of the rotation and averaged 3 points, 3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game at a glance - Draymond Green.

The game started at 7pm, and the difference in strength between the two teams quickly became apparent.

North Carolina is missing one of the four young players, Harden, but Danny Green and Dion Thompson have made great progress this year. Although the combined impact of the two is not as good as that of Harden alone, there are still Lawson, Hansbrough, and Ellington who have grown again in this year. Facing the Michigan tigers, North Carolina has an overwhelming advantage.

上半场比分51比32，下半场32比30，北卡以83比62吊打密歇根，卫冕冠军！

艾灵顿以19分5板6助攻4抢断的表现，力压25分2板4助攻的劳森，拿下四强赛MOP！

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The competition in this match was obviously not as competitive as last year's final, but Zhang Yang was more excited than last year when he watched it on TV. The atmosphere on the scene was so different. Of course, the main reason was that the winner was "one of our own".

However, the atmosphere within North Carolina after the MOP award ceremony didn't seem to be very good. Lawson had a gloomy face the whole time when the team took photos with the "three veterans" after the game, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Ellington "stealing" the award.

The next morning, Zhang Yang and Felton took Boss Joe's private plane to Boston.

Emma Roberts also came to the airport and accompanied Zhang Yang for nearly half a month. She was going back to New York to prepare for the final exams in the middle of next month. The two of them made an appointment that the little bitch would come to watch Zhang San play in the playoffs.

This gave Zhang Yang some extra motivation.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang and Felton arrived at the team's hotel in Boston. They rested for a while at noon, and after lunch went to the NDRC with the team for a simple tactical training.

The team leader and the third brother had to miss the morning training due to some matters. What could Kato do? He could only indulge them and adjust the training to the afternoon.

In the evening, the Bobcats played against the Celtics away.

坐镇主场的绿衫军开场给了来访的山猫队一个下马威，首节以22比18领先山猫队4分，不过第二节山猫队也回敬了一个20比16，两队以38比38打平结束上半场。

The Celtics actually have big problems this year. Their offense basically relies on Mayo, who averages 20.8 points and 4.4 assists per game, and Al Jefferson, who averages 21 points and 11 rebounds per game, taking turns to score singles, and Josh Smith, who averages 16 points and 5 assists per game, assisting. But their defense is really good, with Tony Allen, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, and Gooden, along with Mayo, and several rotation players with good defense on the bench. Although their average points per game is only 97.9, which is last in the league, their average points allowed per game is only 97.3 points, and their defensive efficiency ranks ninth in the league. Teams with strong defense are always competitive. Although they are ranked fourth because of their lead in the Atlantic Division, they currently have 41 wins and can rank sixth even without the advantage of being the top player in the division.

After the halftime break, the Bobcats wanted to beat the Celtics in one fell swoop in the third quarter... but they failed. The Bobcats scored 26 points in a single quarter, relying on Zhang Yang's singles, Brad Miller's assists, and Mike Miller's receiving, they managed to pull up the team's score. But Mayo of the opponent made 9 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 10 points, and Al Jefferson made 6 of 3 shots plus 3 of 3 free throws for 9 points, which also pulled up the team's score, 25 points in a single quarter, and withstood the offensive launched by Zhang Yang and led the Bobcats with 13 points in a single quarter!

Not only that, in the final quarter, the Celtics took the lead in reaching a climax, scoring 13 to 8 in the first half. When the official timeout came, the Celtics led the Bobcats by 76 points with 72 to 4!
After the official timeout, Zhang Yang, Felton and Okafor started singles attack mode.

Mayo, Al Jefferson and Josh Smith led the team in a desperate fight to hold on to the lead for several minutes, but at 11 minutes and 33 seconds, Felton and Okafor started an attack with a pick-and-roll and passed the ball back to Zhang Yang who was in the high post with the help of Brad Miller's cover. Zhang Yang received the ball, turned around and stepped back, facing the oncoming Josh Smith and shot a long two-pointer... straight into the basket!
86 to 86, the Bobcats scored 14 to 10 in the second half to tie the score!
The Celtics called a timeout. After the timeout, Al Jefferson challenged Perkins in the low post and made a turnaround jump hook. The Celtics regained a two-point lead at 88-86, but the Bobcats had 15 seconds left.

It's not that Rivers doesn't know how to squeeze time, but Al Jefferson, their most accurate shooter tonight who scored 21 points with 11 of 30 shots, is an inside player and must be given enough time for low-post singles. With his height, he can only pass the ball when he is double-teamed in most cases, and subsequent intermediate passes and receiving shots all take time, so it can only be arranged like this.

But what Rivers didn't expect was that the Bobcats didn't call a timeout when they were trailing by two points with only 15 seconds left!
Felton didn't even need his younger brother to remind him. He just took the ball back and served it forward. Carlisle didn't even call for a timeout.

The Bobcats' lineup after the timeout was Felton, Zhang Yang, Hill, Okafor, and Perkins, while the opposing lineup was Eddie House, Mayo, Daequan Cook, Josh Smith, and Al Jefferson.

The Celtics didn't have any defense on their outside trio, and the team put together a three-shooter lineup purely to support Al Jefferson's attack in the low post!
The Celtics were cautious and did not pop the champagne before the countdown ended, but quickly retreated.

Felton came to the frontcourt and protected the ball at the top arc. He was not in a hurry to attack, nor did he pass the ball immediately. When there were 6 seconds left, he took action, played a pick-and-roll with Okafor who stayed one step inside the top arc, passed Eddie House, attracted Josh Smith to switch defense... and passed the ball!
Zhang Yang received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone with 3 seconds left. Facing Mayo's pressing defense, he did not rush to shoot. Instead, he raised his hand and shook the ball, took a step sideways, jumped, and shot a buzzer-beating mid-range shot...

Mayo was completely shaken off the ground, and after landing he had no time to move up to interfere. He could only watch the flying ball and pray that it would go off target. However, his sight, which was about to move with the ball, was firmly fixed by Zhang Yang who was still in the air. He saw Zhang Yang close his eyes and smile after throwing the ball!
Before he could think of the next thought, the wailing of the fans at the scene reached his ears.

He quickly turned around to look for the ball and saw it fall to the floor and bounce up. Behind the ball, the referee made a gesture, indicating that the ball was valid!
Although the referee decided to watch the replay due to the complaints of Al Jefferson and Daequan Cook, Mayo knew it was useless. He saw clearly that the red light came on after the ball flew a distance away from Zhang Yang's fingertips...

He was dragged into overtime by Zhang Yang's head-on buzzer-beater!
What’s more, this bastard closed his eyes and celebrated in the air before he even landed on the ground!

Zhang Yang's attention was not on Mayo at all. After landing, he bumped chests with Felton to celebrate.

Felton was very proud at the moment. He had a great contribution to this ball. Just now, Zhang Yang had the conditions and patience to make fake moves to shake off Mayo and then shoot because Al Jefferson under the basket could not make up for it and Zhang Yang could completely ignore Daequan Cook who rushed over from the other side of the three-second zone... The purpose of his pick-and-roll was to pin Josh Smith in the top arc area and create the best mid-range shooting opportunity for Zhang Yang!

...

During the break before overtime, the two teams had completely different mentalities.

Although the game was unexpectedly difficult, the Bobcats players were not too anxious. They just felt pressure because of the difficulty of the game itself. This is the confidence of a strong team.

In fact, looking at the entire regular time, it can be seen that the Bobcats played hard, but they were rarely in chaos. They only lost their composure in a few brief rounds in the middle of the first quarter and the beginning of the last quarter. Most of the time, the coordination was very good, but they just didn't make the shot. Even when it came to the crucial ball, Felton made very calm and smart choices.

It was different for the Celtics. They played above their level tonight, reaching a climax at the start of the fourth quarter and making a near buzzer beater at the end... but they were countered with a buzzer beater to tie the score!

The impact of the two teams' mentality was quickly revealed after the start of overtime. The Celtics played very impatiently, wanting to replicate the success at the start of the fourth quarter... They made 4 of 1 shots at the start of overtime, and had 1 turnover!
山猫队加时赛前5次进攻，命中4球，打了凯尔特人队一波10比3，以98比91领先凯尔特人队7分！
After being beaten for 3 minutes, the Celtics players finally calmed down, and after calling a timeout, they made 3 of 2 shots and scored 5 points. The Bobcats, on the other hand, were in a shooting spree, missing two long shots. The Celtics narrowed the score to 96 to 98.

Just when the Celtics thought hope had reappeared, at 4 minutes and 39 seconds, Zhang Yang hit a fadeaway jump shot against Tony Allen's defense...the Bobcats led by 4 points!
The Celtics had no timeout to call. Mayo received the ball and quickly advanced to shoot a three-pointer, but missed. He could only foul Perkins.

Perkins' free throw percentage was better than that of Shark and Howard, and was on par with Duncan. He missed both free throws, but the Celtics, who were trailing by 4 points, still missed the three-pointer after executing the foul tactic, and the final score was fixed at 100 to 96.

首节7分、第二节5分、第三节13分、末节11分、加时赛6分，张杨全场打了43分钟，33投16中，其中三分球7中2，加上10中8的罚球，拿到42分7板4助攻3抢断，率领山猫队以4分优势险胜凯尔特人队！

Mayo, who scored 22 points, the third highest in the game, with 9 of 24 shots and 5 assists tonight, is about to break apart again... He was just a little bit short and was about to win, but the score was tied by the buzzer-beater with 3 seconds left, and he finally lost the overtime!
After Zhang Yang and his teammates celebrated the victory, he looked at his 42 points on the big screen… If I remember correctly, this was his 13th time scoring 40+ in a single game this season, which is definitely not comparable to the 19 times last season. After all, last season was pure offensive basketball, and not only him, but the entire team's scores were raised a lot.

Although his average points per game this season is lower than last season, his performance is actually much better than last season.

The opponent in front of him... He was no longer so interested in Mayo. He remembered that he would have to play a game against the Celtics at home later. He had won both games against the Lakers, and had also won the first three matches against the Celtics. Sweeping the two strongest teams in NBA history, the thought of it was exciting!
...

After a thrilling victory over the Celtics, the Bobcats continued their road trip, playing against the Bucks and Thunder on the 7th and 9th respectively.

The Bobcats won the games 105-91 and 114-106 respectively. Both wins were very stable. Reed, Durant and Rose all played well, especially the two alley-oops that Rose passed to Jordan were quite domineering. However, in the face of the absolute strength gap, the struggles of the three seemed powerless.

Zhang Yang scored 28 points and 25 points in the two games. Even though the score difference with the Thunder was only 8 points, it was not necessary for him to score points. The opponent was defeated with regular cooperation.

On the 11th and 12th, the Bobcats returned to their home court to face the Heat and 76ers back to back.

热火队目前打了77场，战绩是39胜38负，以1.5个胜场的优势力压37胜39负的76人队排在第七。

The ninth-placed Nets have a record of 36 wins and 40 losses, just one win behind the 76ers.

There are only three teams still competing for the Eastern Conference playoff spots, and any of them may fall away at the last moment.

In this regard, Zhang Yang and his teammates said they would treat everyone equally...

Against the Heat, Zhang Yang's personal score of 29 points was less than Wade's 33 points, but his shooting percentage was slightly higher, 20 of 10 shots, exactly 50%, while Wade only made 29 of 13 shots. The Bobcats won the game 108-99.

打76人队，张杨打出26分6板5助攻2抢断的全面表现，率领山猫队以107比92轻松击败对手。

The advantages of the Heat and the 76ers in the competition for playoff spots were both lost by the Bobcats in one game. In particular, the 1ers lost their advantage and their record was tied by the Nets who defeated the Raptors!
However, the Bobcats did as they promised to treat everyone equally. On the 14th, the Bobcats challenged the Nets away. Okafor exploded and scored 21 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks, leading the Bobcats to a 111-88 victory over the Nets by 23 points!
In the last matchup against the Nets, Okafor had a poor performance and failed to protect the basket, so Zhang Yang had to score 54 points to lead the team to a reversal. Duncan, who has a much broader mind than Zhang San, has remembered this until now. Tonight, he pounded the Nets' inside line and got 8 offensive rebounds alone!
Zhang Yang, who scored a game-high 28 points tonight, can only be regarded as a catcher and shooter who shouted 666 on the sidelines.

The Heat, 76ers, and Nets, the seventh to ninth teams in the Eastern Conference, played against the Bobcats one after another, and after the games, it seemed as if they had not played against each other at all...

On the 16th, the Bobcats returned to their home court to face the challenge of the Raptors.

Tonight was another unhappy night for Bosh.

Giraffidae: Can’t we even get an extra broadcast when we play against strong and popular teams?
Facing a Raptors team that has neither the will nor the strength to struggle, the Bobcats' strategy tonight is - training!
This is their last weak opponent before the end of the regular season, so they have to hurry up and practice.

After the game started, Zhang Yang began to quietly implement his plan, actively moving around to attract double-teaming, passing the ball, and desperately grabbing rebounds.

Hard work pays off. After playing against the Raptors so many times and being double-teamed so many times, he finally grabbed his 10th rebound of the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter!

当他到第四节官方暂停被换下时，数据定格在16分11板13助攻3抢断，首次在单赛季拿到超过1次三双！
The final score was 102 to 91, and the Bobcats easily won the victory!

After the final whistle, Zhang Yang, who had a triple-double, wanted to enjoy the cheers of the fans. Although it was suspected that he had a triple-double, his teammates couldn't help but block for him and grab rebounds...but who cares.

But what surprised him was that the fans at the scene were shouting 70 wins after the game!
When he was undecided, Zhang Yang looked at the big screen and suddenly saw the words "70 wins, are you ready?" posted on the big screen, and next to it was their current 9-game winning streak, 68 wins and 12 losses!
