Wang Yi came back down the court and answered with a drifting corner three.
On the next possession, their Power Forward screened Wang Yi off Antoine. Antoine drove to mid-range, used a Souma step, and went straight to the basket for a dunk.
There was no helping it. Wang Yi was the only player on the Raptors who could guard Antoine.
Once Wang Yi was screened off, nobody else could do a thing about Antoine.
But while the rest of the Raptors couldn't handle Antoine, the entire Pistons team had no answer for Wang Yi.
He was simply too accurate today. Especially in the second half, he hadn't missed a shot.
Whenever he got the ball, he scored. One hundred percent of the time.
And stopping him from getting the ball wasn't easy, either.
Even when they trapped him with two defenders, the explosive burst he unleashed when he suddenly took off was so absurd that he instantly left his defenders behind.
Once he had the ball, he could toss up a casual shot and still make it. And every single one was a three.
So in the third quarter, although Antoine was highly efficient on offense, their efficiency climbed even higher when Bryce James and Antoine ran the Pick and Roll.
They scored 40 points in the third quarter alone.
This season, the league had loosened its standards for calling defensive fouls, which had generally lowered offensive efficiency.
That was especially true in the Playoffs. As Game Intensity rose, everyone's offensive efficiency was bound to drop even further.
Under those circumstances, the Pistons scoring 40 points in the third quarter showed just how efficient they were.
But Wang Yi was even more outrageous.
He alone sank ten threes in the third quarter, scoring 30 points in a single period.
