The Raptors didn't collapse into the paint. They only pretended to, then suddenly rushed out toward the three-point line.
Just as Lillard was about to pass the ball to Seth Curry, he saw Wang Yi appear in the passing lane. He had no choice but to pull the ball back.
Fortunately, he was an experienced guard. He'd kept his feet planted when he tried to pass instead of jumping.
If he'd been in the air, he would have turned the ball over for sure.
After pulling the ball back, he saw that the defense in the paint was loose, so he passed it straight to Wemby.
Once Wemby had the ball, Pang Bo was the only defender in front of him.
Wemby jumped to catch the pass, landed, then immediately leaped again, going up one-handed to dunk.
It was worth noting that Wemby had caught the ball just beyond the free-throw line.
After landing, he was half a step inside the line. From there, he actually jumped off both feet and went up for a one-handed tomahawk dunk.
Other players might not have been able to do it, but a Model Monster like him—with his height, long arms, and impressive leaping ability—could pull it off with ease.
But just as Wemby leaped, a huge hand appeared in the air, right in front of the ball.
It didn't just get in the ball's way. It swatted the ball down with a fierce smack.
Smack!
The crack rang out across the court.
Wemby lost his balance in midair and fell backward to the floor.
The one who blocked Wemby was none other than Pang Bo.
Among centers, Wemby was a complete alien.
But Pang Bo was no pushover. He was one of the best centers at combining size, leaping ability, and strength.
