Spike Lee's expression had grown very grim, because Wang Yi was standing very close to him.
From this spot, Wang Yi had already drained two incredibly difficult, long-range threes in exactly the same way.
But at that moment, the person with the grimmest expression wasn't Spike Lee. It was Pierce in the Commentary Booth.
