Unsolvable Mid-Range Shot, Terrifying

46 Unsolvable Mid-Range Shots, Terrifyingly So

Wang Yi drove to the free-throw line, seeing Hachimura Rui lunging at him.

He secretly thought, "Good timing!"

Then, he used the Unsolvable Mid-Range Shot Experience Card he had saved since the start of the game.

[Beginner Unsolvable Mid-Range Shot Experience Card: Mid-range shot accuracy reaches 100% upon use.]

[Usage Limit: 5 minutes.]

Following that, Wang Yi executed a sudden stop.

He pulled up and shot.

The basketball sailed over Hachimura Rui's fingertips and headed for the hoop.

Unlike the two cannonball-like three-pointers he had shot earlier.

This mid-range shot felt incredibly soft in Wang Yi's hands.

As the ball dropped into the net, it was exceedingly light.

As if it weighed nothing.

Hachimura Rui cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"

Of course, no one paid much attention to Wang Yi's mid-range shot.

In their eyes, Wang Yi's greatest threat was his three-point shot.

A mere mid-range shot, nothing to be amazed about.

Turning back, the Wizards added two more points with Westbrook's violent drive.

Lakers' offense. Wang Yi curled around a screen, with Beal sticking to him like glue.

Wang Yi moved out to the three-point line and received the ball again.

Seeing Beal lunging at him, he dribbled again, easily getting past Beal.

He once again arrived at the free-throw line.

Hachimura Rui, the Wizards' interior player, lunged at him again.

Just like before, Wang Yi pulled up and shot.

The basketball once again floated gently into the net.

The exact same way, the exact same spot, the exact same basket!

Turning back, Beal of the Wizards made a shot.

On the Lakers' offense, James held the ball at the top of the arc.

As Wang Yi was curling around a screen towards the top, he suddenly cut towards the baseline.

Beal reacted too slowly, and Wang Yi found a moment of open space.

James is the type of player who will definitely pass you the ball the moment you create an opportunity.

This was exactly the case now.

Taking advantage of Wang Yi's momentary opening, he threw the ball.

Wang Yi was at the mid-range, 45 degrees to the right.

Since he had just made two mid-range shots in a row, Hachimura Rui had already noticed him.

So this time, Hachimura Rui was prepared.

If Wang Yi caught the ball and jumped to shoot again, Hachimura Rui would be able to block him.

So this time, Wang Yi did something astonishing.

He didn't land.

After catching the ball in mid-air, he directly went into his shooting form.

Wrist flick!

Shoot!

Although Hachimura Rui's lunge was much faster this time.

Wang Yi's shot was even faster.

The basketball flew over Hachimura Rui's head.

Still with a soft arc, it gently dropped into the net.

"Oh my god!"

"Good heavens, how did he do that?"

"An alley-oop mid-range! That's incredibly accurate!"

Even the Wizards' fans were exclaiming in amazement.

The commentators on the scene exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh my god, this Easterner with an alley-oop mid-range shot!"

"While I hate to admit it, I have to concede that this is the most spectacular shot of the night so far!"

The Lakers players high-fived Wang Yi one after another.

First, to congratulate him, and second, to try and catch some of Wang Yi's hot hand.

James patted Wang Yi's butt:

"Brother, your hands are too damn good!"

In Hachimura Rui's eyes, his expression was somewhat complicated.

He had said he would teach this Chinese man a lesson.

But tonight, not only had he been blocked by this Chinese man several times, but now, at this critical moment, he had made three consecutive mid-range shots over him.

This last one was even more outrageous, an alley-oop mid-range shot.

How should he respond to this guy?

Turning back, the Wizards went on offense.

This time, the ball was passed to Hachimura Rui.

Hachimura Rui turned left, then turned right again.

He drove to the basket.

Then he shot a hook shot.

However, as his hook shot was halfway through.

Slap--

A huge block fiercely swatted his shot down.

Looking back, it was still that Easterner.

The momentum that Hachimura Rui had painstakingly built up from his coach was already shaky.

This block from Wang Yi immediately shattered half of it.

Why did this Chinese man have to go against him?

It was as if any time he shot, he would be blocked by him.

Damn it!

So damn annoying!

Hachimura Rui glanced at the coach.

He saw a hint of gloom in his coach's eyes.

He remembered what his coach had said earlier.

If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would never have another chance.

He withdrew his gaze, clenching his fists tightly.

His gaze towards Wang Yi now held a touch of ferocity.

At this moment, Caruso had already brought the ball up the court.

Wang Yi had already started to use screens, preparing to receive the ball.

Hachimura Rui quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.

Wang Yi circled twice and received the ball.

He was currently at the mid-range spot on the left baseline.

He pulled up and prepared to shoot.

Hachimura Rui had just gotten back.

Seeing Wang Yi about to shoot another mid-range jumper.

He roared:

"Shine!"

Then he lunged towards Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was in mid-air when Hachimura Rui violently collided with him.

The moment Wang Yi lost his balance, he flicked his wrist and shot, relying on his soft touch.

He then fell out of bounds.

And this fall just happened to land him in the arms of a beautiful woman by the sidelines.

Only then did the basketball gently fall into the net.

Hachimura Rui also fell to the ground.

He slid more than three meters along the ground, close to the floor.

His head even hit the camera of a large camera on the sidelines.

The impact made him grit his teeth.

Seeing that even a foul couldn't stop this Easterner from scoring, he angrily pounded the floor.

"Beep beep beep beep beep—"

The whistles from the sidelines rang out urgently.

The referee quickly rushed over.

Caruso, Kuzma, and James all jogged over.

The three of them surrounded Hachimura Rui.

They kept shouting:

"Is this playing basketball? You're attacking people!"

"So dirty, you dirty player!"

"Guys like you shouldn't be on the court!"

The referee quickly intervened to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Security guards also rushed over, stopping several players who were trying to surround them.

Wang Yi got up from the embrace of the beautiful woman, gently patted her head, and gave an apologetic smile.

That beautiful woman was a Wizards fan.

But at this moment, seeing Wang Yi's smile, a thought suddenly popped into her mind:

This Easterner is quite handsome.

On the sidelines, the referee reviewed the replay.

Finally, the penalty was announced:

"Lakers number 1, 2+1. Hachimura Rui, Level 1 flagrant foul. Lakers get an additional free throw!"

Wang Yi made the first free throw.

The Wizards' head coach requested a timeout.

He could tell that Hachimura Rui was losing his mind.

He had to call a timeout to let him calm down.

Besides, Wang Yi had made 6 consecutive shots since those two three-pointers.

Two three-pointers and four mid-range shots.

This scoring efficiency was terrifying.

It gave the impression that he would never miss a shot.

"Hachimura, you need to calm down."

"This is just one game. It just so happens that he's in good form today. You don't need to commit a flagrant foul over this!"

"If you still want to compete with him, there will be plenty of time in the future. For now, you just need to do what you do best. Boxing out, rebounding, second-chance points. You don't need to get into a fight with him, understand?"

Hachimura Rui nodded mechanically.

However, at this moment, three words Wang Yi had said earlier inexplicably came to his mind:

"Are you worthy?"
