At that moment, Pang Bo, who had just been screened away from the paint, immediately recovered and got in front of Danny.
It sounded like a lot had happened, but in reality, only four seconds had passed.
There were still as many as nine seconds left.
With Pang Bo guarding him, Danny couldn't simply rise up and shoot. He didn't rush to attack, either. Instead, he took a few steps back, moving beyond the three-point line to create space and prepare to take Pang Bo one-on-one.
This was the extreme situation Coach Dako had anticipated: Pang Bo having to guard a perimeter player one-on-one.
Danny wasn't a guard, but he was an agile Small Forward.
Having a massive center like Pang Bo guard him was genuinely nerve-racking to watch.
At that moment, every spectator in the arena felt their heart sink.
The Raptors' coaching staff on the sideline tensed up, too.
Coach Dako unconsciously clenched his fists.
Nash's palms were already sweating.
Although Coach Gao Feng stood with his arms folded and looked composed, in truth, he was so nervous he could barely breathe.
By contrast, when the opposing head coach, Mike Brown, saw Pang Bo guarding Danny one-on-one, his heart leaped with delight.
Danny had once been only a spot-up shooter, but over the past two years, his ball-handling had improved tremendously.
Taking a dribble before shooting, crossing between his legs and stepping back for a jumper, faking a change of direction in front of his body before driving, spinning past his defender... He was highly skilled at all of it.
And now, the man guarding him was a massive center who couldn't keep up with his footwork.
Clearly, this was exactly the kind of situation the Kings wanted to see.
