After the opening game, the Bobcats got two days of rest. On the 31st, they took a day off, and as a new month arrived, on November 1st, Zhang Yang left Charlotte with the team to start back-to-back away games.
The first stop was Philadelphia, where the first opponent of the back-to-back was the 76ers.
On the 2nd, the Bobcats arrived at the Wachovia Center to prepare for battle.
Being a player who also wears jersey number 3, Zhang Yang was asked by reporters if Iverson was his idol. He replied, "My goal is to become the strongest player who wears number 3."
The reporters thought this 17-year-old rookie was really bold!
But this time, Zhang Yang was bold on purpose.
He discussed with Big Mike how he could be more helpful during the game.
His off-ball movement was already excellent, but decent mid-range shots were not enough, especially against opponents with strong team defense like the Rockets, where his off-the-ball movement had insufficient impact.
