The Reaper set another screen for Haliburton.
He growled at Wang Yi, "Quit dodging around like a girl. If you've got the guts, face me head-on!"
Using the Reaper's screen, Haliburton quickly drove down the middle. Wang Yi didn't pay the Reaper any attention; he swiftly went around him and chased Haliburton into the paint.
Haliburton was a clever player. Although he'd driven down the middle, Pang Bo was in front of him and Wang Yi was behind. He knew it would be hard to get a shot off.
