Saunders surrendered directly in the final quarter, with the three stars and Dampier all replaced, letting Barea lead during garbage time.
He was sure, with Zhang San's personality, as long as he's not surrendering, that guy would definitely pester Coach to keep playing.
When it's time to concede, just concede. Didn't you see the Hornets refusing to surrender after trailing by 19 points in the Christmas match? They were overpowered by Deron from 29 to over 40 points, with the gap approaching 30 points—that's the cost of being stubborn.
During garbage time, the Bobcats still had the advantage. The Mavericks' active roster had only 10 players, with 3 pulled from the suit group, and the Bobcats rarely crushed the Mavericks in terms of roster depth.
However, the Bobcats and Mavericks had no real grudge, and even Billups was substituted. Leading garbage time, Jarett Jack and Alan Anderson had no feelings of revenge, happily finishing the final quarter.
