He was very angry, but his fondness for Zhang Yang actually increased.
The way this rookie shouted during the fast break, the boldness of his passes, it reminded him of himself!
So, it goes to show that first impressions are very important. Nash was originally just curious about what a 17-year-old high schooler could do in a one-on-one, and then because Zhang Yang's dribbling resembled his, he felt a liking for him and couldn't help himself…
However, Nash wasn't in the mood for teaching at the moment; he was set on crushing the opposition first!
On the other side, Felton, celebrating as he fell back to the backcourt, asked Zhang Yang, "Didn't the coach tell us to slow down the pace? Playing like this, we can't control the pace, let alone defend."
Zhang Yang, "Can we really defend them by slowing down the pace? Can we beat them? It's better to counterattack; at least it's more enjoyable that way."
Felton: Makes sense!
