Zhang Yang made 11 out of 20 shots, including 2 out of 5 three-pointers, plus 4 out of 4 free throws. Although it's the first time in the finals that his scoring isn't the highest, 'only' 28 points, he matched the highest in the game with 8 assists, along with 5 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. He cooperated fully with his teammates and held his own against Kobe.
But the Lakers performed better, with Kidd and Fisher, the two point guards, scoring 30 points.
As role players in the tactics, both were spot-up shooters, the 'tail' of the strategy, which the Lakers have done better than the Bobcats in recent games, especially tonight.
With Kidd, when the Lakers go all out in the playoffs, their capability in this aspect leads the league. Even with Zhang Yang, Hill, and Brad Miller, the Bobcats find it hard to compete against Kidd. It's a unique ability of Kidd, unmatched in the NBA history.
