Zhang Hao conscientiously went to the left baseline to block Pippen who was defending him.
Almon Gilliam, in terms of technology and physical quality, seems to be no different from the Lakers' Sibaros, but the latter became an All-Star, while the former is only a starter-level player. The psychological gap is huge, and such things, once understood, cannot be changed easily; the longer time passes, the harder it is to change.
Almon Gilliam is just bullying the weak, fearing the strong, both arrogant and cowardly—this cannot be changed.
Pippen is very good at front defense; physically strong among small forwards, extremely agile, and always able to rely on flexibility to deal with force. He is "shameless," and no amount of impact can affect his defensive enthusiasm.
However, this time, Pippen's front defense was ineffective; he couldn't match Zhang Hao in strength, nor in agility... Zhang Hao surpassed him!
