Wang Yi quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt.
The Spurs' point guard, Little Nash, and Randle hurried over to double-team Wang Yi.
But Wang Yi used a Tornado Spin to force his way between them.
However, their defense slowed him down.
That gave Vassell and Little Duncan a chance to come over and trap Wang Yi.
At that moment, instead of trying to get past them, Wang Yi made an unexpected decision.
He suddenly spun around and passed the ball back to Point Guard Bryce James.
His sudden pass caught everyone off guard.
Think about it: when a player had the ball and was starting a fast break, he would usually pass it ahead.
It was rare for someone to pass the ball backward after already getting past two defenders.
That caught the Spurs off guard again.
As Wang Yi passed the ball back, he accelerated without it, squeezing between Vassell and Little Duncan and charging upcourt.
Bryce James pushed the ball forward, sending it over half court and right into Wang Yi's hands.
Wang Yi caught it outside the three-point line.
The Spurs' Wemby had also raced back and was closing in to block Wang Yi's shot.
That was exactly what Wang Yi had been waiting for.
In fact, afraid that Wemby wouldn't catch up, Wang Yi had deliberately slowed down after receiving the ball.
Only when Wemby caught up and came alongside him did Wang Yi dribble behind his back with his right hand, trying to get past him on the left.
When he couldn't break through on the left, he dribbled behind his back again and shifted to the right.
This time, he lowered his stance to pick up speed and tried to drive past him.
But halfway through his move, Wemby's foot suddenly hooked Wang Yi's foot.
