When they looked back, they saw that the ball had somehow already crossed half court, and Wang Yi was sprinting after it at incredible speed.
It turned out Wang Yi had had a chance to grab the rebound in midair, but instead of securing it, he had hooked the ball backward and sent it toward half court.
With the ball out of his hands, Wang Yi could hit the ground and charge downcourt even faster.
