Everyone nodded again. They all had plenty of faith in Augustin's talent and ability.
He'd put on some spectacular performances against both Jalen Green and Ja Morant.
Now he was up against Wang Yi. It looked like Wang had completely shut him down one-on-one, but if they helped Augustin shake Wang and gave him just a few seconds without Wang hounding him, they believed Augustin could put on a great performance against the rest of the Raptors.
After the timeout, both teams took the court again.
Augustin tried to get the ball, but Wang Yi stuck to him like glue. Augustin could only head upcourt while Bane dribbled across half court.
Augustin switched up his approach. He started cutting through the paint and running around screens.
Wang Yi tried to stay with him, but the Grizzlies' center, Spider-Man Odebue, stepped into his path and blocked the way.
Augustin took the opportunity to run beyond the three-point line and receive the ball.
He immediately turned and got past Frank, who had come over to help, then drove to mid-range.
With Wang Yi about to rush at him, Augustin didn't dare drive all the way to the basket. Instead, he went straight into a mid-range floater.
But just then, something nobody had expected happened.
Kim Tae-hyun, who had been waiting under the basket to rebound, suddenly took two steps forward and leaped as high as he could.
Kim Tae-hyun couldn't jump very high, but he was tall.
Even so, when he leaped, his fingertips managed to graze the ball.
The ball changed course and eventually fell into Dauding's hands.
In the China livestream, Xu Jingyu was astonished when he saw the play.
"Oh, my, this Korean's finally showing some promise! Kim Tae-hyun played a few games at the start of the season.
