Slovenia, I'll make your scalps tingle with dunks

What's up, trying to start a revolt?

For several possessions in a row, Wang Yi put on an explosive aerial show on offense.

On defense, he used his speed and his familiarity with Dongzi to keep him in check. Although Dongzi sometimes managed to score, his efficiency plummeted against Wang Yi.

Unable to score himself, Dongzi had to rely on his teammates.

Fortunately, their coach, Alexander, had some tricks up his sleeve.

He had his own system of offensive movement.

Under this system, the coach assigned every player strict routes to run.

Who set a screen for whom, who ran a Pick and Roll with whom, and who set a decoy screen.

Every player was like a gear inside a clock, each performing a specific role.

That was why the system was called the "Gear System."

Although Dongzi couldn't get anything going, his teammates could still execute their offense well when he passed them the ball.

In the final few possessions of the first quarter, they repeatedly created three-point chances for Dragić. He made three straight three-pointers.

Wang Yi had studied Slovenia, but Coach Alexander had only recently taken the job.

And they had never used this kind of Gear System in the group stage.

So it was difficult to figure out how to counter it on the fly.

Since he couldn't use their pregame preparations to crack the system, he would have to rely on his individual ability.

Wang Yi watched Dragić sink three three-pointers in a row.

He tilted his head and looked at Dragić.

Trying to start a revolt?

So Wang Yi turned back and headed beyond the three-point line instead of going to the basket.

Slovenia knew Wang Yi could shoot threes, so they guarded him closely, especially beyond the arc.
