Wang Yi used Light Reflection Crossover to get past two defenders and charged into the frontcourt.
Seeing Wemby and Antetokounmpo waiting in the paint, he decided not to drive straight to the basket. Instead, he pulled up from beyond the three-point line.
King Arthur was in a bit of a bind.
In theory, he should have rushed over to help defend Wang Yi. But if he did, Zhang Yu would be left wide open.
Zhang Yu was a formidable three-point shooter too. In theory, they absolutely couldn't leave him unguarded.
And even if King Arthur somehow managed to cover both Wang Yi and Zhang Yu by himself, Shan He had already come in from the opposite sideline, completely unguarded.
All Wang Yi had to do was pass him the ball, and Shan He would have a wide-open shot.
In that situation, King Arthur could only make a token move toward Wang Yi.
His plan was to step toward Wang Yi.
Wang Yi would likely pass to Zhang Yu. But since King Arthur was only moving one step, he would still have time to get back and defend Zhang Yu.
Wang Yi had already figured out most of King Arthur's intentions. So, standing beyond the three-point line, he didn't hesitate for a second. He rose up and fired.
By the time King Arthur realized he couldn't get there in time, all he could do was head into the paint and try to box out for the rebound.
But Wang Yi didn't give him a chance to grab it.
Swish!
A perfect three!
Team America went on the attack again.
King Arthur once again brought the ball up the court, and once again had his team slow things down and run their offense.
First, he gestured for his teammates to spread out.
