But just as he was about to shoot, a large hand reached over his head from behind and covered the ball.
At the same time, another large hand came up from beneath the ball, covering its lower half.
Both hands clamped down hard, ripping the ball away in midair.
Augustin was stunned.
When he turned around, he saw Wang Yi already sprinting downcourt with the ball.

Besides, he knew exactly
