Iverson reacted swiftly and immediately fell back into defense. By the time Zhang Yang reached the opposite three-point line to receive the ball, Iverson had already retreated under the basket.
Instead of lunging to compete for the ball, Iverson, given the significant height difference, chose to block the front of the basket, forcing Zhang Yang to adjust for a mid-range shot after catching the ball.
But Zhang Yang didn't slow down as he caught the ball. Picking up momentum, he charged toward Iverson!
Iverson didn't dodge but confronted Zhang Yang head-on, reaching for the ball... Zhang Yang grabbed it first, took a step to the right, and after landing, he changed direction with a crossover to the left...
Although Iverson quickly turned around to block him, Zhang Yang's second step was just as fast as the first, and Iverson couldn't stop him!
