Amid the confusion of the commentators and the fans, the Kings had once again seen their lead shrink to just four points after Wang Yi gambled on two steals.
Yet Wang Yi showed no sign of realizing his mistake or regretting it. On the next possession, he gambled on another steal.
Fortunately, this time he got it.
Hugo was crossing over in front of his body when Wang Yi, who was guarding him, suddenly threw himself to the floor.
As he dove, he shot out his right hand.
Hugo had a very steady handle, but Wang Yi's dive came so suddenly, and his arms were so long, that he still managed to poke the ball away, sending it right through Hugo's legs.
Little Danny reacted quickly, diving in to scoop up the ball from behind Hugo before racing downcourt.
He finished with a layup.
The play counted as both a steal for Wang Yi and an assist.
Over the next two possessions, Wang Yi was caught out of position on defense, but fortunately, the Spurs capitalized on only one of those opportunities.
With half the third quarter remaining, Wang Yi came up with another steal.
He stayed on the floor for the rest of the third quarter.
He didn't get another steal in that time, but he did record two blocks.
By the end of the third quarter, his stat line was as follows:
24 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 6 steals, 6 blocks.
It was already an unbelievably impressive stat line.
But everyone watching the game was criticizing Wang Yi, whether they were his haters or his fans.
After all, Wang Yi had been playing far too recklessly today.
Even Wang Yi himself was getting a headache looking at those stats.
Six steals and six blocks.
