The third quarter ended, and Danny had already scored 30 points.
With James out, he had completely taken over James's scoring duties.
As for Wang Yi, he was no longer as laid-back as he used to be.
In just three quarters, he had racked up a whopping 60 points.
And that was even with the Lakers targeting him in the third quarter. Whenever he got the ball, two defenders were on him; whenever he drove into the paint, he faced three or even four.
Otherwise, he might well have scored more than 80 points.
During the break, Lakers head coach Snyder was at a complete loss.

Wang Yi was far too good at driving. Especially when he got into the paint, not even two defenders could stop him. His Overlord Dunk was impossible to pull down.
They could only send three or even four players at him.
But that would inevitably leave someone open on the perimeter.
And Danny had been deadly from three-point range today.
On the other hand, if they tried to close out on Danny, they couldn't double-team Wang Yi as aggressively inside, and he would tear them apart in the paint.

The assistant coaches around him found that a little strange.
Wang Yi had scored 15 points in a single quarter, and he
