On the other side, Kenny Anderson was much faster than Edwards, making it difficult for Alan Houston to easily get the ball as he did against Edwards' defense. After finally creating an opportunity, Edwards' influence on Joe Dumars again made Dumars hesitant to pass the kind of ball that could be intercepted.
Joe Dumars couldn't break through, had no chance to pass, and opted to pass to Edith Soper, who pulled up to the mid-range. Edith Soper used his strong body to turn and push PJ Brown aside, breaking through to the right side of the three-second zone, taking a shot... Zhang Hao jumped up vigorously and reached out to interfere, successfully disturbing the shot!
Edith Soper's shot was off-target, and Almon Gilliam grabbed the defensive rebound.
Successful defense!
