Bickerstaff's small-ball defensive lineup finally took effect!
Although Okafor was hammered by Yao Ming, Brevin Knight, Zhang Yang, Matt Carroll, and Gerald Wallace managed to keep up with the other players, not giving them easy shooting opportunities. Besides Yao Ming, the Rockets had no other players skilled in isolation plays. When Yao Ming had a clear advantage, the rest of the Rockets would pass the ball to him without a second thought. Yao Ming played fiercely but at a great cost, as Okafor was already one of the league's top defensive Centers.
The Bobcats were waiting for Yao Ming's energy to decline before they attacked!

Zhang Yang suddenly burst forth, scoring consecutively on two fast breaks and surprised the domestic viewers who had lost hope... Chinese people sometimes are too extreme and often have a viewpoint—if it's not the best, it's trash.
