章 367: Chapter 238 The End of Reason

The third quarter was one where the Bucks' overall shooting touch was stifled.

In the beginning, Yu Fei hoped to capitalize on opportunities from the baseline and the corners of the paint to break through the zone defense.

However, his teammates only managed 1 out of 7 three-pointers from the corner in the quarter, which allowed the Detroit Pistons to confidently focus their defensive efforts on the areas covered by the 1-3-1 zone defense.

Indeed, there were opportunities in the corners of the paint, yet Ben Wallace's rim-protecting abilities were well acknowledged, and they didn't exceed his defensive range.

Yu Fei passed the ball a lot until the Pistons tied the score, only then did he choose to use personal offense to break the deadlock.

As a result, his shooting touch also waned during the passing process, plus the 1-3-1 zone's tight control over the arc and the free-throw line area, he didn't find a comfortable scoring opportunity.
