Grant Hill immediately called for a pick-and-roll with Don Reed.
Zhang Hao's offensive strength and defensive weaknesses were well-known to their opponents. It was difficult to capitalize on this with outside pick-and-rolls, as Zhang Hao wouldn't go out to defend them. Campbell would rather handle it himself than let Zhang Hao go, as at least Zhang Hao's defense in the three-second area was decent.
However, with a forward pick-and-roll, Zhang Hao had to move out. Once the ball-handler accelerated after the screen, Zhang Hao found it hard to stop the drive under the basket.
Forced into a switch by a forward pick-and-roll, Grant Hill didn't drive to the hoop but took Zhang Hao on in a mid-range face-up one-on-one.
He executed a beautiful burst of speed, sidestepped, and successfully hit a mid-range shot!
