King Arthur and the others waited to intercept the ball.
But this time, Wang Yi drove straight toward the basket. He didn't shoot or pass, even when he reached the hoop.
Instead, he raised his hand as if to attempt a floater, making Wemby, Morant, and Jalen Green all leap to block him.
Taking advantage of his forward momentum, Wang Yi charged right past the baseline.
He jumped ten centimeters before the baseline. As he flew out of bounds, he grabbed the ball with his right hand, swung it around Jalen Green and Wemby's waists, and passed it behind him with a reverse motion.
With defenders on three sides of Wang Yi and the baseline on the fourth, it looked like there was no way for him to pass the ball.
So Zion hadn't expected Wang Yi to get the ball through, and reacted half a beat too slowly.
That half-beat was all it took for Pang Bo, cutting into the lane, to get the ball.
Then he rose up and slammed it down with tremendous force over Jalen Green, Ja Morant, and Wemby.
The whole basket shook back and forth, the backboard bobbed up and down, and the rim rang continuously.
Pang Bo weighed a full 120 kilograms, after all.
With all that weight behind a dunk like that, it was easy to imagine how tremendous the force had been.
The crowd erupted in excited cheers once again.
Back in China, commentator Director Zhang watched the shot and clenched his fist, cheering excitedly.
"Beautiful! That play brought back the classic connection between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal from the days of the OK Combination! Who would've thought? Wang Yi hadn't played much with Pang Bo before. They'd only practiced together for a little over ten days since training camp
