November 30, the last game day of the opening month arrived.
Just past 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang arrived at Tuhang Stadium, where quite a few domestic reporters were already waiting. Seeing him, they crowded around him. He sighed softly, but revealed a smile and began to "do business."
He was happy to be interviewed by domestic reporters, always fairly proactive, conveying a positive basketball perspective to fans and young people in the country who loved the game.
But facing the Rockets, and only a common role player like Yi Jianlian, to have such a big media turnout... Zhang Yang understood the state of mind Yao Ming must have had when they first faced off.
Embarrassed, yet he had to feign confidence.
