In the multimedia room of Cox Arena, the lights are off, and the projection screen displays a replay of the first two games between Glory and the Celtics.
In one offensive play, Tim Duncan positions himself strongly on the left, receiving the ball low and backing up against Gan Guoyang, with no double-teaming defense. Duncan turns towards the middle, but it's ineffective; Gan Guoyang's defense is flawless.
Duncan passes the ball to Ilgauskas at the top of the arc. Big Z has mid-range ability. Yao Ming rushes over, and Ilgauskas steps forward with the ball, distributing it to Steve Nash at a forty-five-degree angle on the right. Nash receives and drives; Andre Miller fails to keep up with Nash's pace.
Gerald Wallace comes over for help defense, reaching out to intercept briefly, facilitating Gan Guoyang's turnaround block.
Nash, while holding the ball, evades Wallace's interception, then jumps and passes the ball behind his head to Bruce Bowen in the right corner.
