Wang Yi had originally planned to talk to Tamim about Zhang Jiacheng, but now Tamim had brought it up himself, saving Wang Yi the trouble.
It was highly inappropriate for a Kings player to ask for a player of his choosing to be put into the game before it even started.
He had only wanted to help Zhang Jiacheng, but if anyone exposed this, it would definitely cause trouble.
Now that Tamim had brought it up, he had helped Wang Yi avoid a lot of potential trouble.
At last, the players from both teams came to center court for the jump ball.
Pang Bo was taller than Towns, had a longer wingspan, and could jump a little higher.
He won the tip with ease.
After they moved to the frontcourt, Towns took it upon himself to guard Pang Bo, while Pang Bo established position down low.
At first, Towns underestimated Pang Bo, so he didn't even try to push him out of the paint.
Pang Bo caught the ball in the paint. With Towns pressing against him, he spun around at incredible speed and was suddenly behind him.
He threw down a dunk so easily it was almost ridiculous.
Towns stared at Pang Bo's back in surprise.
Wang Yi patted Towns on the arm. "Watch out. Don't underestimate him."
When Towns got to the Kings' frontcourt, he called for the ball on the right side of the three-point line.
Towns was one of the most mobile centers in the league.
Pang Bo's mobility was top-notch back home, but he was still a big man, and there was no way he could keep up with Towns. So he didn't follow him all the way out to the three-point line.
Instead, he took a step back and guarded Towns around mid-range.
