The Kings had made up 23 points in just half a quarter, leaving all their fans incredibly excited.
In the Baidu TV livestream, Whale watched Wang Yi's three-point layup and slapped the table in admiration.
"A three-point layup! It's been a long time since we've seen one! But that doesn't mean it's disappeared for good. Just like Little Li's flying dagger: it hadn't appeared in the martial world for years, but that didn't mean it had vanished forever."
"When it appears again, it's bound to remind everyone of those eight words: Little Li's flying dagger never misses. Brother Yi's three-point layups are the same: a three-point layup, and it never misses."
In fact, the reason Wang Yi hadn't used the three-point layup in so long was that he thought the move looked a little awkward.
It wasn't as explosive as a dunk, with its violent beauty;
it wasn't as devastating as a deep three, each shot striking fear into the heart;
and it wasn't as beautiful as a mid-range jumper.
When a swordsman's skill reached the point where no one in the world could match him, he began to pursue beauty in every stroke.
But today, with only one hand, he had used the move anyway to make up ground as quickly as possible.
A three-point layup.
Seeing that the Pelicans' lead had shrunk to just 17 points, their coach immediately called a timeout.
The six minutes that had just passed had been a dark six minutes for the Pelicans.
The Kings had blocked shots, stolen the ball, and hit all kinds of threes and dunks.
They had piled up 23 points in six minutes.
Meanwhile, the five Pelicans on the court hadn't scored a single point during those six minutes.
For an NBA team, going three minutes without scoring
