Wang Yi's free-throw-line dunk from 30 centimeters behind the line stunned the world: he collided with Zion in midair, spun 180 degrees, then threw down a back-dunk.
Compared to Wang Yi's dunk, all those who'd been called the "Flying Man" before looked weak.
As the crowd stood stunned, the Heat inbounded the ball.
Perhaps rattled by Wang Yi's dunk, the Heat failed to score on their next two possessions.
On the Kings' end, Danny hit a three, and Little Danny drove inside for a layup.
The lead was back to 26 points.
But the Heat clearly weren't about to give up.
Especially with Jimmy Butler—the man reputed to be the toughest son of a gun on the planet—on their team.
From then on, whenever the Kings scored, he answered with a mid-range jumper.
Inspired by him, the rest of the Heat players got going too.

But he was much weaker than Zion. Every time
