Wang Yi's shot from the backcourt straight into the frontcourt was nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime bucket.
Since basketball was invented, no one had ever scored that way in an official game.
But Wang Yi had done it.
Any player who made a shot like that would have enough to brag about for a long time.
But for Wang Yi, with his 90% shooting percentage as a foundation, it was no big deal.
Embiid, the Great Emperor, was especially shaken. To everyone else, it looked like Wang Yi had suddenly gotten hot and entered his Personal Domain.
But only Embiid knew that Wang Yi was doing this specifically to target him. Wang Yi had said he'd crush the 76ers in five minutes.
And that was exactly what he was doing now.
So this guy could enter his domain whenever he wanted, at will.
The thought alone was shocking.
At that moment, the 76ers' head coach was nearly losing his mind.
There was just no way to stop this guy.
If they still had even the slightest hope of beating the Kings, their only option was to have Harden and Embiid work together and see if they could keep up with the Kings' offense by scoring.
But as it turned out, he'd been hoping for too much.
Even if Embiid and Harden were shooting at their very best, the two of them would top out at a combined shooting percentage of around 50 or 60 percent. Besides, Harden's shooting percentage was honestly quite average.
But Wang Yi had a 90% shooting percentage.
Just imagine: in the Playoffs, Paul's 60% midrange shooting could leave opponents unable to function, while Curry's 45% three-point shooting left them helpless.
And Wang Yi's 90% three-point shooting? He was practically about to tear the 76ers limb from
