Zhang Yang sweated a bit. Playing under Jordan is indeed tough work, even making small talk requires a compliment, or you risk ending up on his bad side.

At 7 p.m., the Bobcats' away game against the 76ers began.
Zhang Yang failed to anger Iverson, but tonight's match didn't need him to, as the 76ers were playing terribly!
Iverson performed well, shooting nearly 30 times, with 21 attempts and 9 successful shots, plus 11 of 15 free throws, earning 29 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals.
Such a high number of shots with a 43% success rate is indeed astonishing.
But Webber was beaten up by his former backup teammate—Gerald Wallace shot 15 times, made 9, and with 6 of 10 free throws, racked up 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, while also holding Webber to just 6 makes out of 17 attempts. Webber managed a scant 20 points, aided by 8 free throws.
