After this timeout, the Warriors readjusted their perimeter defense.
This time, the Raptors took Crazy Tiger Tiger and Big Lock Rock off the floor and brought Akur and Zhang Yu back in.
Zhang Jiacheng would run the offense!
Zhang Jiacheng drove into the mid-range to draw the defense, then passed to Akur, who nailed a three!
On the next possession, Zhang Jiacheng drew the defense with a mid-range shot and passed to Zhang Yu, who nailed another three.
Although the Warriors had brought in their Tsunami Brothers, two of them failed to make their threes with Zhang Yu and Akur guarding them.
That put the lead at 25 points, and the Warriors quickly called a timeout.
After the timeout, four of the Raptors' five best defenders were on the floor. Only Wang Yi was missing.
Even though the other four weren't giving it their all on defense, they were still better defenders than Zhang Jiacheng and Dauding, so the Warriors' offense wasn't as efficient.
As a result, the lead hovered between 22 and 25 points.
And time kept ticking away.
Coach Dako glanced at Wang Yi. He seemed barely to have broken a sweat today, so Coach Dako asked him:
"Want to go back in and play a few more minutes?"
Wang Yi shrugged and shook his head.
"If I can clock out early, who'd want to stick around at work?"
His remark made everyone around him burst out laughing.
In the end, the Warriors never managed to cut the deficit to less than 20 points.
The Warriors' Tsunami Brothers had actually shot the three well that night, sinking 15 between them. The team as a whole made 20 threes.
That was already a very good tally.
But the Raptors' numbers were even more outrageous.
And that wasn't even counting
