Beta was swarmed by Kings players once again.
He couldn't pass the ball or get a shot off.
And this time, with Little Danny's quick hand already on the ball, the referee called a jump ball.
Although he was much taller than Little Danny and had an overwhelming advantage in the jump, he soon discovered that when Little Danny jumped, he actually got higher than Beta.
Little Danny tipped the ball straight to Towns, who grabbed it in the backcourt and hurled it toward the frontcourt.
He wasn't throwing it to any of the Kings players.
He was putting his complete faith in Little Danny's speed.
Sure enough, the moment the jump ball ended, Little Danny sprang into action.
He raced down the court in a flash. Once he got going, nobody could keep up with him—except Wang Yi.
Little Danny reached the frontcourt, caught up to the ball, and made a beeline for the basket.
But after taking three steps, he heard Pang Bo's heavy footsteps behind him, thundering like a rhinoceros. A clever idea came to him, and as he leaped, he banked the ball off the backboard first.
Pang Bo reached out and swatted at the ball.
He slammed it against the backboard, but since the ball had already hit the glass, the basket counted for two, cutting the deficit to five.
It was the Raptors' turn to attack again.
As Beta brought the ball up, he took a careful look at the defense and confirmed that the other team really was playing man-to-man.
So he drove into the paint once more.
But the moment Beta made his move, every Kings player collapsed toward the basket again.
With no other choice, Beta quickly passed to Swift as soon as he started his drive.
Swift caught the ball
