But there was still the same problem: they couldn't keep up with Wang Yi.
Even though the two of them were double-teaming Wang Yi off the ball, he could leave them both behind with a sudden burst.

When facing other superstars, you could trap them.
Even if it meant losing the game, you could still limit their scoring to a relatively low number.

He could always break the double-team with his speed.

And most terrifying of all, his threes tonight were unbelievably fucking accurate.
Six minutes into the first quarter, he had made eight of his ten corner threes—a phenomenal three-point percentage.
He'd scored 26 points in half a quarter.
When Wang Yi had played the Grizzlies, he'd kept baiting fouls. A lot of haters had mindlessly trashed him, saying he had no other skills and could only bait fouls.

Celtics head coach Mazulla finally started to worry and called a timeout.
He knew Wang Yi was
