Wang Yi called for the ball in the backcourt.
The moment Wang Yi took the ball in the backcourt, a bizarre scene unfolded.
All five Spurs players came to the Kings' backcourt and surrounded Wang Yi.
In other words, they completely ignored the Kings' other four players.
At that point, if Wang Yi had passed quickly and simply tossed the ball upcourt, any one of the Kings' other four players could have scored with ease.
