Besides attacking Frazier with verbal magic, he kept pulling little tricks, getting under Frazier's skin.
So on the next possession, Frazier took the ball and went straight at Tagore one-on-one.
But Frazier had already burned through a lot of his stamina, so he wasn't as quick when he drove.

So when Pang Bo went up for the shot, Dauding came up behind him and swatted the ball away over his head.
That was why the Raptors had Locke temporarily fill in at power forward.
Locke had the build to play power forward, especially considering that most of the league's power forwards these days were Spider-Men. In that situation, Locke was perfectly capable of playing the position.
At power forward, he could join the Raptors' center to form a defensive wall in the paint. With Locke's physical gifts and ability to run and jump, he was a formidable presence when helping out inside.
After Dauding blocked Pang Bo, Wang Yi grabbed the ball and raced up the court again, taking off from the free-throw line for another dunk.
Tagore took the opportunity to keep up his magic attack on Frazier:

"Your fans like our leader more than they like
