Charlie Hannum glanced at George Shig beside him.
Their eyes met briefly, and they instantly understood what the other was thinking.
Looks like they'd need to teach that sissy Frank a lesson after the game.
Still, even though Frank had thrown a slight wrench into their plans, it wasn't a big deal.
They couldn't believe that Wang Yi and his five teammates could really win an entire game.
They'd run themselves into the ground.
Even if they didn't wear themselves out, with only six players in the rotation against the other team's young players, all the opposing coach had to do was use his head and push the fast break. They'd run those six guys into the ground.
In fact, when Timberwolves coach Finch saw the Raptors' lineup take the floor, he quickly changed his plans, calling the players who were about to enter back over and saying quietly:
"If you get the chance, run the fast break. Try to pick up the pace on both ends!"
Juan immediately understood what the coach meant.
He nodded.
At the same time, he looked over at the Raptors.
He really hadn't expected them to cut back on the bench players' minutes.
None of the other reserves had taken the floor. Only Frank had gone in.
But Juan didn't let his guard down.
From what he knew of Wang Yi, the tougher the game, the more fired up he got.
This situation would only make Wang Yi more excited and put him in even better form.
So they needed to be even more cautious.
The spectators in the arena all looked grave.
Wang Yi had said he would cut back on the reserves' playing time. In the worst-case scenario, he might even reduce their minutes to zero.
They hadn't reached that worst-case scenario
