Doug had been rough with Wang Yi, and Wang Yi hadn't gone easy on him, either. He kept finding chances to clip Doug across the bridge of the nose.
With a light swipe, he knocked Doug's nose to one side.
Every time, the pain made Doug clutch his nose and tear up—and Chinese netizens quickly turned the image into a meme, captioned: "You're bullying me."
But Doug was one tough guy.
When his nose got knocked crooked, he simply used his hand to straighten it.

In that last minute, Wang Yi scored twice more over Doug's head.
In the end, the Kings beat the Bucks 138–80, winning by a massive 58 points.
It set the record for the largest margin of victory in Finals history.

Wang Yi went 36-for-36 in the game, scoring 107 points with a 100 percent shooting percentage.
