Chapter 165 164. Bad boy Zhang San, no grudges will be left overnight!
Okafor saw Zhang Yang's question mark face and guessed what the little boy was shocked about. He said as he picked up the ball and served it, "He has slowed down a lot after the minimally invasive surgery. At least I can keep up with him. When I was a rookie, if I didn't stand under the basket, I could only watch him score."

Zhang Yang's mouth twitched when he heard that. It was no exaggeration to say that he was able to surpass Anthony and rank first in the national high school student rankings in 02, and was named "the most unskilled player in history averaging 04+ points per game" in the 05-25 season. Has his physical fitness been reduced?

How shocking would it be to see the little bully who scored purely through counterattacks and cuts, with more than 75% of his shots from close range and at the basket? It's a pity that I can't play against such a little bully.

And it's not just as simple as having good physical fitness. Serious injuries can cause a decline in physical fitness, and it's very difficult to adapt.

Zhang Yang felt that this guy probably didn't have the ability to adapt to changes in his physical fitness like Duncan, but this kind of thing could rely on external help - Thomas Carter helped him adjust his playing style.

Thomas Carter's famous quote: The job of a team doctor is to reduce the risk of injury, which is more important than being able to cure injuries.

In the future, after Stoudemire went to the Knicks, he played well for a year and then collapsed. Injury was secondary. Or it could be said that he did not take the initiative to accept the changes in his physical fitness and did not adjust his playing style in time, which led to constant injuries. At the age of 29 or 30, even if he did not get injured, his physical fitness would naturally decline, and he needed to change his playing habits in time.

Duncan was already a pure floor player at the age of 30, Kobe reduced his breakthroughs and switched to back-to-the-basket play at the age of 30, and James also changed his playing style at the age of 30.

After Zhang Yang pushed through half court, he put aside all distractions and devoted himself to offense... His eyes lit up, and the person guarding between him and the basket was Nash!

He accelerated and rushed towards Nash.

Nash: ?
No, aren’t you mainly playing without the ball?
Shit! You are just like everyone else, you want to beat me up when you see me!
Nash cursed in his heart as he rushed forward...but was passed.

Marion came up from the wing, and Zhang Yang ran straight to the basket, performing the European step. He took the first step, received the ball from Stoudemire under the basket, and flew away. He took two more steps and easily made the shot!

Nash: You are worthy of being my fan, so smart!

Facing Marion's backup defense, if you choose to pull up and shoot, no matter how fast your movements are, you may be disturbed.

Marion just has a short neck. Although he is only 201 cm tall, his effective height is no worse than that of a 206 cm forward. His wingspan is an amazing 218 cm. He has explosive athletic ability and excellent awareness of interfering with shots.

Facing Marion's help defense, he had to break through. He didn't dare to stick to him. The Suns only had 8 main players and didn't dare to foul easily. Their average number of fouls per game was the lowest in the league... Nash: Wait, what am I praising? I was being targeted again!

Offense and defense transition, Nash and Marion pick and roll.

Gerald Wallace did a very good job in this pick-and-roll switch, cutting off Nash's chance to connect with Stoudemire who was running back from the left baseline. When Nash had space to pass into the paint, Okafor had already chased to the basket and held off Stoudemire.

Marion, who was following closely, was also entangled in a fight with Felton. Nash stopped passing the ball and broke through!

Gerald Wallace couldn't stop Nash's rhythmic breakthrough, but he followed Nash closely and was not completely passed by him.

When the two were about to cross the free throw line, Gerald Wallace was ready to press forward to confront, but as soon as he leaned forward, the opponent took the initiative to stick to him.

Gerald Wallace secretly cried out in dismay and tried to dodge... but it was too late!
Nash jumped up and confronted Gerald Wallace who was leaning forward. With the referee's whistle, Nash kicked his legs in the air and threw the ball. The moment he shot was like standing up on horseback and shooting an arrow with a bow...

Long two-point shot!
2+1!

Gerald Wallace put on a mask of pain and held his head in frustration.

Zhang Yang, who was in the corner with Raja Bell, saw this scene and said "Oh" and shook his head.

It’s useless to defend Nash even if you block his shooting space!
Any slight flaw can be caught by Nash!

Gerald Wallace had no problem defending this ball, and even his preparation for leaning forward was no problem. If he hadn't stuck to Nash the moment he crossed the high line, even someone as physically strong as Gerald Wallace would not have been able to catch up with Nash.

To get Nash into close range, we have to press forward, otherwise this guy will just grab the ball and throw it away.

Outside of close range, Nash is both wild and accurate; within close range, Nash is both fast and accurate.

Although Nash doesn't score much at the basket or in close range, he is one of only two point guards in the NBA who has shot more than 70% at the basket in a single season, the other being Tony Parker.

There are five guards who average more than one close-range hit per game and have a hit rate of more than 1% this season. Nash is one of them. The other four are Parker, Kobe, Wade, and Zhang Yang. Even Felton, Paul, and Iverson have a slightly lower hit rate this season.

If you can't defend, then attack!
In the offense-defense transition, Zhang Yang advanced to the frontcourt and it was Raja Bell who was defending him. He immediately passed the ball to Felton.

Nash: I fucking know it!
Seeing Felton rushing forward, Nash pushed forward aggressively... and was knocked away.

Felton stepped back and made a three-pointer!
Turning around and watching the ball fall into the basket, Nash said: o(╥﹏╥)o, it would be better to defend Zhang Yang. At least an 18-year-old boy wouldn't bump into people like this.

However, after so many years in the NBA, Nash has become accustomed to being beaten twice in three days. It's okay if the opponent only has one ball-handling guard, but if there are two, he will definitely be targeted and beaten.

The other side wanted to beat him, and he had no choice. In that case, let's fight each other! His sword was not bad either! (╬￣皿￣)=○

The ball-holding guards of both teams took turns firing, and the game quickly entered an offensive battle.

Nash attacked for three consecutive rounds and made 3 of 3 shots. The ball that missed went in after spinning around the rim and fell out. Gerald Wallace had to call for reinforcements.

If they continue to play like this, Gerald Wallace is afraid that the Son of Wind will score 40+ in a single game.

Nash has scored 40+ points twice in less than two months this season.

One time, Kidd refused to believe in evil and insisted on switching to defend Marion and Nash's pick-and-roll, and Nash scored 42 points and 13 assists; another time, he competed with Arenas and scored 42 points and 12 assists.

Not only did he fail to prevent Nash from scoring, but Nash also got more assists than his season average.

The Bobcats began to double-team, and their defensive formation was quickly torn apart by Nash's pass.

However, the Bobcats don't need to think of any special ways to deal with the Suns' defense. Zhang Yang and Felton just need to attack Nash. When the two need to slow down, Okafor will go down to the low post to attack Stoudemire.

Raja Bell and Marion just can't carry the team with two people and three people.

The Bobcats first scored 12 to 8, and the Suns returned a 14 to 10 wave in the middle of the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Yang faced Raja Bell's defense outside the three-point line and did not pass to Rondo who came on the bench. He suddenly jumped up and made a three-pointer, leading the Bobcats to finish with 10 to 7.

After the first quarter, the score was 32 to 29, with the Bobcats leading the Suns by 3 points.

Leading by 3 points, the team could not even take the initiative against the Suns. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns made a three-pointer in a defensive counterattack to tie the score.

The goal was scored by Nash, who had not scored for a long time after scoring 5 points in the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, he completed a counterattack with the ball and made a three-pointer, telling the Bobcats - there is a handsome guy here, come and double-team him.

The Suns' offense became more and more fierce, scoring 6 points in the first 11 minutes and 22 seconds of the second quarter. The Bobcats' Zhang Yang and Gerald Wallace were not on the court during this period, and their offense slowed down slightly. They only scored 14 points and were overtaken by 51 points by the Suns with a score of 46 to 5.

Relying on Rondo's breakthrough points, Felton's catching and shooting, and Okafor's one-on-one plays, the scoring is indeed a bit slow.

When the official timeout came, Bickerstaff made up his mind and replaced Rondo, Zhang Yang, Matt Carroll, Gerald Wallace and Millsap, speeding up to confront the Suns.

The Suns attacked fiercely for half a quarter, which was a relatively weak period. The Bobcats scored 5 to 49 in 19 minutes and 13 seconds.

At the end of the first half, the Bobcats regained the lead with 65 to 64 and entered the halftime break!

D'Antoni's face turned red as a pig's liver, which was always the case when he got into trouble.

Back in the locker room, D'Antoni said to assistant coach Alvin Gentry: "I didn't expect the game to turn out like this. The old man on the opposite side is worthy of being a coach who can reach the Western Conference Finals with 39 wins. He dares to send out any lineup!"

Gentry: "Bickerstaff's ability to respond to situations is really great. When other teams were outscored 22-14 in the first half, they would use their starting lineups to play it safe, but he used a lineup without a center to attack us."

D'Antoni: "He is very good, but he is only good at leading a growing team. Geniuses who are still growing have unlimited possibilities. He can always come up with something that opponents can't imagine. But when the stars mature, he is not good at leading the team. He is not good at building a system. He should have discovered his shortcomings. There are rumors that the Bobcats are already looking for the next head coach. They should have found you, Alvin."

Gentry laughed and said, "You know it. As soon as we arrived at the hotel yesterday afternoon, Jordan called Steve (Kerr) and said he wanted to talk to me."

You don't have to do this behind people's back, just say it directly.

Generally speaking, if a team's assistant coach is invited by another team to be the head coach, the parent team will readily let him go, and if there is a contract, it will usually be terminated peacefully. In case the person goes to another team and becomes a very good head coach, he may come back to coach in the future.

Of course there are exceptions. For example, Pat Riley of the Miami Heat removed Van Gundy from the head coaching position, but did not lay him off or fire him. Instead, he "transferred" him to an assistant coach.

Many teams want to invite Van Gundy to be the head coach, but the fortune teller refuses to let him go and insists on trading draft picks to squeeze out the last value of Van Gundy.

This operation is quite rare in the entire NBA history. The last team to do so was the Knicks. The coach who was traded was also named Van Gundy. The Rockets traded him back with a second-round pick.

D'Antoni: "Although the role players of the Bobcats are a bit ordinary, their core four and the rookie named Rondo are very talented, and the team atmosphere is also good. They have Bickerstaff as the general manager, Felton has strong leadership ability, and Muhammad. It's a good choice for you to be a head coach for the first time."

Gentry: "I think it's a good place, but Jordan just seems to treat me as a backup option. He simply asked about my coaching philosophy without talking in depth... Eating with him is like eating with an old Englishman. It's so troublesome."

D'Antoni handed the tactical board to Gentry: "In this case, let him see your ability. The game is like this, and it depends on you next."

Gentry took over the tactical board and was surprised to hear that D'Antoni seemed to be encouraging him to strive for the head coaching position of the Bobcats.

Although head coaches generally would not stop assistant coaches from becoming head coaches in other teams, for championship-contending teams like theirs, they would usually persuade them to stay. He believes that his importance in the Suns assistant coaching team cannot be replaced by anyone else.

If he couldn't figure it out, then forget about it. Gentry thought about countermeasures and made adjustments during the halftime break.

...

When people mention the Lakers, they will think of the fortune teller and the Zen Master; when people mention the Celtics, they will think of the Cardinal; when people mention the Jazz, they will think of Sloan... D'Antoni naturally also wants to get such an honor, coach a team long enough and achieve great achievements.

If Gentry really wants to leave, he can't stop him, so why not help him? If Gentry joins the Bobcats, if Zhang Yang wants to leave Charlotte in a few years, maybe he can use this relationship to bring him back.

Although D'Antoni thinks that the idea Nash once mentioned is unlikely, it is still a good idea to make a move.

After the halftime break, the third quarter began. The Suns sent out Nash, Raja Bell, Marion, Dio, and Kurt Thomas.

The Bobcats sent out a combination of Rondo, Felton, Alan Anderson, Gerald Wallace and Okafor.

Bickerstaff was ready to continue the competition and run, with Rondo taking control in the first half.

In terms of controlling the fast break rhythm and grasping the timing of passing the ball, Rondo, who is still a rookie, is not as good as Zhang Yang. But playing against the Suns does not require so many tricks, and Rondo's speed is also very useful. We tried it in the second quarter. Rondo pushed forward, Zhang Yang and Gerald Wallace sprinted, and Matt Carroll followed up and played well.

But something unexpected happened. The Suns actually fought a positional battle of offense and defense in the third quarter!

Raja Bell defends at the top of the arc, Dio squats under the basket and goes around Okafor, Marion blocks the cut from the strong side, Kurt Thomas shrinks to help protect the rim, Dio defends well, and the others play three to one... The Suns' defense suddenly improves!

The biggest improvement of the Suns' defense is their retreat speed and positioning. Under the command of Kurt Thomas, the Suns were always able to suppress the Bobcats' counterattacks and force the Bobcats into a positional battle.

The Bobcats, who were well prepared to play on the run, were caught off guard and fell into a positional battle where they were defeated.

As for the Suns' lineup, Nash and Marion set pick-and-rolls in positional battles, Dio assists, Raja Bell makes accurate three-pointers, and Kurt Thomas can run and shoot mid-range shots. Although their offensive efficiency is not as good as when Barbosa and Stoudemire were there, it is slightly better than the Bobcats, and they can also counterattack!
Whenever they failed to defend against the Bobcats' offense, Nash and Marion would counterattack on two fronts. Although their impact was not as strong as the strongest counterattack combination of Nash + Barbosa + Marion + Stoudemire, it was still difficult to defend.

Although the offensive efficiency of the Suns' lineup is much lower than that of the strongest lineup, they have lowered the Bobcats' offensive performance even more!
Bickerstaff actually reacted quickly. After being beaten 8-4, he replaced Rondo and Alan Anderson with Matt Carroll and Muhammad, strengthening the outside shooting, giving Felton, Gerald Wallace and Okafor better singles opportunities, and strengthening the rim protection.

But the Suns took the initiative and took the initiative in the score. After Bickerstaff made a substitution, the Bobcats were still at a disadvantage, scoring only 3 points in more than 6 minutes, while the Suns scored 8 points again.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Suns overtook the Bobcats by 80 points with a score of 75 to 5!
Entering the official timeout, Randy Brown was surprised and said: "I didn't expect the opponent to switch to positional warfare and counterattack. The defense was pretty good. Bernie, fortunately you are experienced and made effective adjustments in time, so that the opponent didn't widen the score difference all of a sudden... When did D'Antoni learn to defend?"

Bickerstaff: "I'm just older and more experienced. I know not to panic, but I'm not D'Antoni who can defend. Look at the other side."

Hearing this, Randy Brown looked at the opposite bench, where people were writing and drawing on the tactical board. That was normal.

Gentry, the chief assistant coach of the Spurs during Larry Brown's era, worked with Doug Collins in the late 90s. Although there are rumors that Gentry is extremely disgusted with Larry Brown's coaching style, after being influenced by him for several years, his defensive coaching ability is definitely better than D'Antoni's.

Randy Brown: "Gentry's move is not easy to deal with. The opposing lineup can switch to fast break immediately even if they can't defend well. However, their ability to defend inside is poor, so we can let Emeka go up and attack."

Bickerstaff: "It's about letting Emeka attack, but not letting him be the main attacker..."

...

The timeout ends and players from both teams come on the court.

The Suns continued to play Nash, Raja Bell, Marion and Kurt Thomas, and the other inside player was replaced by Stoudemire.

Felton, Zhang Yang, Matt Carroll, Gerald Wallace, Okafor... D'Antoni looked at the opposing lineup with excellent spacing and felt safe.

When he was discussing with Gentry just now, he thought that the opponent would let Okafor play a single shot in the low post. He guessed Randy Brown's idea and was ready to defend against the single shot in the low post.

But they guessed wrong again!
After the game resumed, Felton broke through with a crossover step, pushed Nash away and rushed into the inside, passing the ball... Zhang Yang used Okafor's screen on the wing, received the ball on the left baseline and made a mid-range shot!
Gentry's defensive plan failed this time!
When the Suns attacked, the Bobcats double-teamed Nash after he set a screen, blocked the basket, followed closely behind Raja Bell, and let Marion and Kurt Thomas shoot mid-range shots. Their goal was clear: they were betting that Marion and Kurt Thomas wouldn't make the shot. If they did, Bickerstaff couldn't do anything.

This time on defense, Bickerstaff won the bet!

Kurt Thomas's long-distance shot missed, and Okafor secured the defensive rebound.

The Suns players retreated actively, leaving only Stoudemire to rush for offensive rebounds. His defensive awareness was much worse than Dio's, but Gentry still found a way to let him play a role in defending pick-and-rolls. A player with his physical fitness rushing for the ball could more or less affect the speed at which the Bobcats could grab the rebound and counterattack.

But after falling into a positional battle, Zhang Yang ran back to catch the ball and faced Raja Bell who was chasing him, turned around and made another mid-range shot!
79 to 80, the difference narrowed to 1 point!
As of the last game, he has scored 6+ points in 20 consecutive games, breaking his personal record of 5 consecutive games with 20+ points set at the beginning of the season. He is in a hot period after the initial running-in and adaptation period. Although he only made 76 of 18 shots in the last game against the 8ers, his shooting feeling was actually very good. It was just that Iguodala's crazy dog ​​defense was good, so he only shot 44%.

Given the intensity of the Suns' confrontation tonight, just throw it!

When it was the Suns' turn to attack, Kurt Thomas missed another mid-range shot, and Stoudemire made a tip-in to help the Suns stabilize the situation.

In the transition from offense to defense, Marion expanded to the outside to block Zhang Yang from receiving the ball.

The Suns' style of play is a new tactic that has not yet been officially implemented. It has only been practiced in training and has no actual combat experience.

The original plan was to start using it in the preseason, but at that time Stoudemire was in very poor condition and was still in the adaptation period after changing his playing habits. When the regular season started, Stoudemire was still in the stage of finding his feeling, so the actual combat test plan had to be temporarily shelved. With 2 wins and 4 losses at the start, we had to improve our record first.

The Suns' record has improved now, and they have rushed to third in the Western Conference, only half a win behind the Spurs and Mavericks, who both have a record of 15 wins and 5 losses. They are currently on a 9-game winning streak. Tonight, they played against the Bobcats, who are ranked first in the Eastern Conference. They were unable to win with their offensive power, and D'Antoni was a little selfish, so he used this trick.

When the opponent's attacking method is predicted correctly, the defense is very good, but when the prediction is wrong, the shortcomings of this style of play such as lack of experience, lack of on-the-spot adaptability, lack of coordination and poor defensive discipline are exposed.

Felton broke into the paint and passed the ball, but he didn't pass it to Zhang Yang. He couldn't see outside, but he saw his teammate who cut in from the other side...

Okafor rushed into the inside to receive the ball, slammed the ball into the basket through Stoudemire, and caused Stoudemire to foul!

Okafor walked to the free throw line, had a good touch, and made the free throw amid the cheers of the fans!
82 to 82, the Bobcats tied the score!

When the Suns attacked, the Bobcats only left Kurt Thomas alone. Marion, who received the ball and passed it to Kurt Thomas, missed three shots in a row!
Kurt Thomas put too much energy into the defensive end in this quarter, and he had a close fight with Okafor in the first half. Although he was very fierce and his defense was indeed very good, his touch did not cause much consumption to Okafor. Instead, his own touch was more affected, after all, there was a difference of more than ten kilograms.

This time the Suns' luck was not as good as in the last round, and Stoudemire failed in his attempt to steal the ball!

When the Bobcats attacked, Marion once again stepped out to block Zhang Yang's shot, Kurt Thomas covered Felton, and Stoudemire's attention was on Okafor who was ready to cut in from the baseline.

Zhang Yang seized the opportunity to run back and cut in, received the pass from Felton, cut to the basket and made a layup!

In the original time and space, in the 06-07 season playoffs, the Suns relied on defense to limit the Spurs' average score in the first five games to 5 points, and once took the initiative in the series. That was because the Suns had been experimenting in the regular season for most of the season and were very experienced.

The current Suns team has resorted to this strategy which involves a change of style, but they do not have any practical experience. Once they are defeated, they will collapse completely!

After Zhang Yang made a layup, Stoudemire quickly picked up the ball and served it at Nash's urging, and Nash wanted to force a fast break.

The Suns' ability to launch fast breaks is second to none in the league, but Nash's fastest teammate, Barbosa, the favorite for the best sixth man with an average of 18 points per game, was not on the court. Nash rushed to the frontcourt alone but was blocked and had no one to meet him.

The Bobcats had one big player and four small players, and they did a good job of retreating and defending. When the other Suns players came over, the Bobcats had already taken a good defensive position.

Nash and Stoudemire set a pick-and-roll, and instead of passing the ball to the left-open Kurt Thomas, he would rather play 4 against 5 this time, and he actually found an opportunity!
Nash rushed to the right elbow area and braked, grabbed the ball, stepped back, jumped towards Okafor who was rushing out... and passed the ball!
Marion circled around the free throw line from the left side of the three-second zone and came to the right sideline. When Nash broke through to the elbow area and stepped back, Marion cut in from the right sideline, shook off Matt Carroll's pursuit, received the ball at close range, stepped into the three-second zone and jumped to shoot... Felton moved to the right sideline of the three-second zone first and was knocked over by Marion.

Although the ball thrown by Marion went in, the whistle sounded first.

The referee blew the whistle rapidly and made boxing gestures.

Marion hit the opponent with the ball! 1 foul and 1 turnover!

The fans at the scene cheered loudly for Felton's heroic defense in the three-second zone!

Felton was in so much pain that his mask came out, but when he heard the cheers, he got up and imitated his younger brother, holding his head high, chest out and buttocks raised... Prince Duan has arrived!
The blow this offensive failure brought to the Suns was greater than the previous two rounds in which they failed to score.

Nash worked so hard to create the opportunity, but not only did he fail to score, he didn't even have a chance to steal the ball!
D'Antoni took advantage of a dead ball to replace Kurt Thomas, who had been missing shots continuously, with Barbosa, but it failed to cheer up his teammates.

The Suns players were complaining about the coaching staff's tactical adjustments. They were a run-and-gun team, so why did they learn to play defense? It didn't work after half a quarter, and they had practiced for more than two months in vain.

It was time for the Bobcats to attack.

The Suns' morale was low, and the Bobcats, who had regained the initiative, were in high spirits!

Felton took advantage of Okafor's pick-and-roll to break through and pass the ball!
Zhang Yang ran back to distance himself from Raja Bell, caught the ball, turned around, jumped, and shot again...

The fans at the scene have started cheering. With this smooth move, they think the ball will definitely go in!
At this moment, a hand reached out to Zhang Yang's neck and pulled him down!

Raja Bell chokes Zhang Yang with a clothesline!

The cheers of the fans at the scene suddenly stopped, and they looked at the scene in horror.

The Bobcats players on the field were also stunned for a moment, and Felton immediately rushed towards Raja Bell after reacting.

Nash was shouting "Fuck Cober" in his heart, but as he was the closest to the player, he immediately went up to stop Felton and was hit by Felton's elbow.

Okafor, Gerald Wallace, Matt Carroll, and several Bobcats players on the sidelines also rushed in under the leadership of Rondo.

The Suns players and the players on the field tried their best to stop him. Raja Bell hid behind his teammates at this time, and the Bobcats players could not get through.

Just when the Bobcats players were about to start a brawl led by Felton and Rondo, Zhang Yang climbed up and pulled Rondo and Felton back.

Seeing Zhang Yang coughing continuously after holding his two most irritable teammates, Okafor quickly came over to help Zhang Yang stroke his back.

The teammates who almost started a fight with the other team felt ashamed when they saw the 18-year-old boy was so calm. They, the older brothers, shouldn't be so impulsive...

The referees were also surprised, as they had heard of Zhang Yang's legendary story.

This high school student was a well-known violent guy in the neighborhood during middle school. He was always fighting. Later, his family had no choice but to send him to play basketball, and he accidentally became the youngest rookie in NBA history.

This violent genius had good academic performance. After finishing his 11th grade, he skipped a grade and entered the NBA. He was also admitted to North Carolina. However, on his first day in North Carolina, he shouted that he wanted to be the leader of the Jeet Kune Do Club. When the club members disagreed, he beat up all of them. It was said that as long as he was willing to participate in the competition, he could win the US Jeet Kune Do Championship, but he just wanted to fight and was not interested in the Jeet Kune Do championship...

I didn't expect such a player to be so calm after being fouled. The legendary story is really full of water... My God! Zhang San, what are you doing!

Just when the Bobcats players calmed down, the Suns players breathed a sigh of relief, and the referee relaxed and prepared to call a flagrant foul on Raja Bell, Zhang Yang, who was still coughing the previous second, suddenly attacked, rushed to Raja Bell like lightning, slapped Raja Bell on the neck, and with a "bang" pressed the opponent to the ground!
Just as Raja Bell was about to struggle, Zhang Yang rode on him and sat him on the ground. He had already removed his right hand from Raja Bell's neck, and as he sat down, he swung his right hand downwards and slapped Raja Bell in the face. Then he slapped him again with his backhand, and then another slap...

When the referees reacted and pulled Zhang Yang away, Raja Bell had already fainted. His originally shriveled face was swollen like a pig's head and covered with fingerprints!
