Yamamoto Yudai's catch-and-shoot three-pointer was quite formidable.
On the international stage, he had made 42% of his catch-and-shoot threes, which was an exceptionally high percentage.
Seeing Yamamoto Yudai open, Kawamura Eiki immediately used a subtle feint to shake Wang Yi, the defender in front of him, then passed the ball to Yamamoto Yudai.

Yamamoto Yudai was utterly bewildered. When he'd run out to the perimeter just a moment ago, Wang Le had still been trapped inside and unable to get out. Yet the instant he'd reached the perimeter and received the ball, that guy had followed him out?

Catch-and-shoot threes were his specialty, but he couldn't handle shooting off the dribble.
Fortunately, he'd drawn Wang Le out to the perimeter, leaving a little space inside. So he passed the ball to Sato Kenta, who was cutting toward the basket.
Sato Kenta caught the ball around mid-range and immediately drove toward the hoop.

A huge hand swatted the basketball against the backboard.
Sato Kenta couldn't help but feel a jolt of shock.
Was it Pang Bo again?
How could that guy be so agile? Sato Kenta had clearly beaten him with a Eurostep and gone straight up
