Haliburton saw Wang Yi steal the ball even from so far away and immediately furrowed his brow, rushing to charge at him.
The Bellringer hurried over too, intending to double-team Wang Yi with Haliburton and steal the ball back right there. They both knew that if they didn't contain Wang Yi, his fast breaks would be terrifying.
But just as Haliburton charged at him, Wang Yi didn't dribble forward. Instead, he suddenly turned around to face the Bellringer behind him.
Haliburton froze. So did the Bellringer.
He'd clearly stolen the ball. Wasn't he supposed to face the frontcourt and attack?
Why was he turning his back to the frontcourt instead?
While the two of them were still frozen, Wang Yi suddenly spun 180 degrees on the spot, instantly turning to face Haliburton. At the same time, he slipped the ball between Haliburton's legs with his right hand.
Then he accelerated in an instant and blew past Haliburton.
For one thing, Haliburton hadn't expected Wang Yi to suddenly turn back around.
For another, Wang Yi's acceleration was simply too fast. Haliburton couldn't keep up at all.
Meanwhile, Pang Bo had already sprinted up the right side toward the frontcourt for the fast break.
Wang Yi sent the ball toward the area near the frontcourt three-point line. Pang Bo caught it and immediately took his three steps.
He sprang up and dunked.
Though Pang Bo looked huge, his athleticism was actually excellent.
When he ran the fast break, most centers couldn't keep up with him.
Across the entire league today, perhaps only Juan, the Timberwolves' center, and Wemby, the Hornets' center, could match Pang Bo's speed on a fast break.
Pang Bo took the ball and soared into the air.
He was like a giant gorilla taking flight.
