A close turnaround jump shot from the free throw line to the edge of the three-second zone...
If it wasn't for Jason Williams on the other side of the three-second zone, and Almon Gilliam in the middle from the free throw line to the baseline, Owen and Moning holding ground on the other side, would this be a drive from the free throw line to a layup?
The fans at the scene looked at Kurt Thomas's build, similar to Zhang Hao's, but with more pronounced black muscle lines, appearing more aggressive than Zhang Hao. The key was Pat Riley's continual praise of Kurt Thomas's defensive talent during the preseason... and it turned out so soft?
However, just like the previous Brooklyn Nets' successful defensive surprise, Zhang Hao's Barkley and Mark Jackson-style back-down play also stunned everyone.
Feeling the strange gazes from others on the court, Kurt Thomas wanted to explain — it's not that I'm soft, it's just that this guy's strength is ridiculously powerful!
