There was no miracle in the fourth quarter of the final game.
The Kings took the game in one fell swoop, riding a 37-point lead.
Wang Yi didn't play in the fourth quarter.
Although the Pelicans' shooters had their moments in the fourth, Doug completely shut down their star.
Without the most important star in their One Star Four Shooters system, their four shooters were left in disarray.
The Kings won the game, 147–110.
Wang Yi made 25 three-pointers, five more than the entire Pelicans team.
His Three-point Percentage was a staggering 83.5%.
He single-handedly put up 81 points.
It was also a tribute to Kobe Bryant.
Most importantly, Wang Yi scored all 81 points in just three quarters.
On top of those 81 points, he also had 11 assists.
Eighty-one points and 11 assists in three quarters—he had thoroughly humiliated everyone who'd said he was washed up and his era was over.
Most importantly, when facing a team known for its three-point shooting, Wang Yi had killed them using the very method they excelled at.
He had gone toe-to-toe with the entire Pelicans shooting corps all by himself.
That was absolutely worth writing about at length.
Meanwhile, Doug scored 18 points once again in this game.
For a guy who had averaged just 7.3 points per game during the early years of his career, putting up 18 points in both games since his return had left everyone stunned.
A postgame breakdown showed that 10 of Doug's 18 points had come off Wang Yi's passes.
In other words, nearly half of Wang Yi's 11 assists had gone to Doug.
Everyone was amazed by the unusual pairing of Wang Yi and Doug.
