Once Wang Yi started playing off the ball, he became very difficult to defend.
Because he wasn't holding the ball, he could wander around in place, then suddenly take off at any moment.
His first step was so quick that few people could keep up.
That gave him room to operate. The moment he got even the slightest chance to catch the ball, he would shoot.
So in Game 2, Wang Yi scored 48 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists.
During the post-game interview, he said again, "I was in slightly better shape this game than I was in the last one."
That once again made everyone on the Spurs, from the coaching staff to the players, grit their teeth in frustration.
He'd scored 48 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists—almost a 50-point game—and he was telling them he was only slightly better?
Could he say something that didn't sound completely insane?!
Next, Game 3 took place on the Spurs' home court.
The Spurs' locker room had another bizarre incident.
First, the locker room started leaking, leaving the entire floor wet.
Danny slipped and fell as soon as he walked in.
And several maggots were crawling in Wang Yi's locker.
Everyone who saw them felt sick.
As the Kings players passed through the Player Tunnel, an advertising sign beside them suddenly started sparking, giving them all a fright.
Because of all these bizarre incidents, the Kings had a terrible shooting night in the first half.
Even Wang Yi's shot was off.
He went just 3-for-15 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line, scoring 12 points.
In the second half, the air conditioning at the Spurs' arena failed again—it had happened more than once already.
Just imagine nearly 20,000 people packed into one arena
