Those two huge blocks from Wang Yi brought back all of Wemby's terror of being dominated by Wang Yi's blocks four months ago.
In the first and second games of the Finals, he'd taken plenty of huge blocks from Wang Yi.
In those two games, Wang Yi had blocked him so much that he'd nearly questioned his existence.

What the hell had Wemby ever done to him?
Under the threat of Wang Yi's blocks, Wemby didn't dare take many more shots in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, on the Kings' side, Danny still didn't seem to have fully regained his form, but Wang Yi's three-point shooting was downright terrifying today.
He'd hit all four of his three-point attempts in the first quarter.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Kings had built an eight-point lead.
