Watching Zhang Yang and his teammates clap hands in celebration and then walk to the free throw line to sink the bonus shot, Popovich called a timeout, feeling like he was going to burst.
Brad Miller could grab the rebound and find the fast-break initiator immediately, delivering the ball accurately, allowing Zhang Yang the opportunity to push for a trailing three-pointer.
If it were in regular time, Duncan would certainly have let it go.
With only a few seconds left, Duncan dashed forward from the free-throw line to block Zhang Yang's trailing three-pointer. There was no problem here; if he didn't rush forward, Popovich thought Zhang Yang would definitely throw a three-pointer in front of Conley. This brat didn't shy away from any shot.
Moreover, Zhang Yang's rhythm play, even in the entire league, is unparalleled. In that situation, driving in for a one-on-two in the paint was also quite normal.
