After a few rounds, Zhang Yang understood Rondo's in-game adjustment intentions.
The way the Kings played was quite different from what was seen in the videos. Although isolation plays accounted for a large part of the Kings' offense, it was only slightly more than teams with more complete lineups. Most of their offense was initiated by Rondo's drives and kick-outs or pick-and-rolls. Tonight, the Kings played like the Mavericks.
This made it easy for Zhang Yang to guess what Rondo was thinking; his experience in leading the team was still too limited, always assuming things.
Coach Long is good at analyzing games with a coach's mindset, which is a strength, but it can also sometimes be a flaw. For example, now, due to lack of experience, he made a wrong in-game adjustment.
