Breaking the World Record

If it's going to be broken, it might as well be a world record.

Everyone was a little confused. Was breaking the record not enough?

Wang Yi smiled and gave them the answer.

"If we're going to break a record, let's break the world tournament record."

At his words, everyone stared at him in surprise.

World tournaments included the World Cup and the Olympic Games.

The largest margin in the World Cup alone was 92 points.

But if you counted all world tournaments, the record was 100 points at the Olympic Games.

At the 1948 Olympics, China's men's basketball team had crushed Iraq by 100 points.

That was the largest margin of victory in Olympic history.

Wang Yi actually wanted to break the 100-point record!

But was there enough time?

There was only a minute and a half left.

If Japan insisted on running down the clock, breaking the record would be difficult.

But Wang Yi glanced toward the Japanese team's bench. "Let's look at it from their perspective. If we were down by 93 points right now, I'd definitely want to cut the lead to under 92 within the last minute and a half. I absolutely wouldn't want the game to end with the margin still that large. So Japan will attack. That gives us our chance."

Coach Du Feng nodded in agreement. "So what we need to do now is keep up the defensive pressure. Full Court Press. Force them into mistakes. On offense, we'll stick with the strategy we've been using. If Wang Yi gets a chance to shoot, get him the ball."

The players nodded one after another.

When they took the court again, Japan tried to run a quick set play.

But as soon as Wang Yi saw their horns formation, he recognized the play.
