The hesitation dribble was a very effective move.
Jordan used it to watch Wang Yi's footwork. If Wang Yi shifted left, he would make a big crossover to the right and drive.
If Wang Yi stood still, he would take advantage of the opening and drive left.
This time, Wang Yi's choice was to shift slightly to the left.
The moment he moved, the ball in Jordan's left hand suddenly came alive.
With an extremely low dribble, Jordan pulled the ball to the right and took a huge step in that direction.
In an instant, he created space between himself and Wang Yi.
Then he rose up and shot.
By then, everyone recognized the move.
It was Iverson's Death Crossover.
Iverson had once used this move to toy with Jordan and sink a mid-range jumper.
That moment had become an all-time classic.
And now Jordan was using the same move to toy with Wang Yi.
But Wang Yi wasn't like Jordan back then. After Jordan had been crossed, he hadn't been able to recover and contest the shot. Wang Yi, however, was even more athletic than Jordan, and his reflexes were even quicker.
So when Jordan used a big crossover to the right, creating space from Wang Yi before rising to shoot, Wang Yi still managed to rush over. He raised his right arm high and swatted at Jordan's shot.
But this time, Jordan didn't shoot as soon as he jumped. He waited until Wang Yi had flown past him, then released the ball on his way down.
Another mid-range jumper with impossible hang time.
The ball flew toward the rim and dropped through without a hint of suspense, as if it had been programmed to go in.
All the spectators recognized the move. "Iverson's Death Crossover!"
"Jordan actually learned
