Meanwhile, in China's resting area, Wang Yi was thinking of a way to break through.
If he had to rely on himself alone, it would be difficult to win this game.
He needed at least one teammate to help him.
But Pang Bo had been completely shut down by those two Spider-Men today. So far, he had scored only 11 points and grabbed 3 rebounds.
The Zhang-Pang pick-and-roll had also been smothered by the two Spider-Men.
Zeng Fanbo had some ability, but his meager contributions clearly couldn't make up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
As soon as Cui Yongxi stepped onto the court, the opponents would shut him down too.
Wang Yi's gaze then fell on Zhang Yu.
If anyone could help him, it had to be Zhang Yu.
Wang Yi knew the guy well and knew he had a tremendous scoring burst. Maybe those 9 points they were trailing by were just three three-pointers for Zhang Yu.
But the problem was how to create a chance for Zhang Yu to shoot a three.
In the third quarter, Durant had completely shut Zhang Yu down.
And Zhang Yu was still too young, with too little experience in big games.
After Durant shut him down, he couldn't think of a way to counter it.
Since that was the case, they could only solve the problem through tactics and lineup adjustments.
So Wang Yi said to Wang Jianhua, "Let Zhang Yu rest for a few minutes at the start of the fourth quarter. That way, the other team will let their guard down around him."
Wang Jianhua understood at once.
Wang Yi was the foundation of the team in this game. With him on the court, he could keep China from falling too far behind France.
