Su Xi was in high spirits, while Mike Brown was utterly passive.
Larry Brown was on pins and needles.
He felt as if he were on trial again.
Although the game wasn't over, it was still too early to talk about victory or defeat.
However, Milicic's improvement was plain to see.
It was as if Milicic had truly opened his Ren and Du Meridians. He seemed completely reborn. He was finally able to organically combine all his skills, forging them into a genuine style. Moreover, he could adjust to the opponent's defense, constantly creating mismatches and launching effective attacks.
What's more, his improvement on the defensive end was also obvious.
For a 21-year-old rookie—albeit an older one—the immediate impact he was having on the court was unbelievable.
It's common knowledge that not all centers pan out, but when they do, they become a tremendous asset to any team.
