The Kings inbounded the ball.

Little Danny dribbled across half court and passed to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi faced Bronny's defense. After a crossover and a slowdown, he got past Bronny in a single step.

Once Wang Yi had reached the peak of his physical condition, a simple crossover followed by an acceleration like that was enough to get past

90 percent of the players in the league in one step. No one could keep up with his speed.

Only an elite-speed player like Little Danny could keep up with Wang Yi.

But if Wang Yi added two more crossovers, even Little Danny wouldn't be able to guard him.

After driving into the paint, he spun past Jimmy Butler, then leaped. Porzingis and Antetokounmpo both jumped to block him, but Wang Yi seemed to hang in the air. He waited until they were coming down before releasing the ball.

The incredible hang time left the crowd gasping.

Now it was the Bucks' turn to attack.

Bronny took the ball and came beyond the three-point line, then passed to Butler.

Little Danny was guarding Butler.

Since Little Danny was short and light, Butler went right at him with his size, backing him down into mid-range.

Then he turned and hit a fadeaway jumper.

Little Danny had a terrific vertical leap, but at just 1.65 meters tall, there was no way he could defend against a fadeaway that extreme.

Jimmy Butler took the next shot as well. But since Little Danny couldn't guard him, Wang Yi directed Danny to pick up Butler on this possession.
