Thus came Game 3.
Wang Yi often faced double teams even when he did not have the ball.
Whenever he had the ball, there were at least two defenders on him, sometimes three or even four.
The Pistons wanted to force him to pass the ball.
And after Wang Yi passed the ball in this game,

In the end, the Lakers suffered a crushing 20-point defeat.
That brought the series score to 1-2.

Danny hit six three-pointers.
Akur also made four three-pointers.
Bryce James made three three-pointers as well.
Dauding kept producing from mid-range.
In the end, the Lakers turned around and beat the Pistons by 22 points.
The series was tied 2-2.
That presented the Pistons with a question.

After Wang Yi passed the ball, his teammates did not perform particularly well.
After all, they were Role Players.
You could not expect Role Players to perform brilliantly every
