Slam Dunk Steps Reappear

Wang Yi's midair half-spin poster dunk left all 50,500 fans in the Philippine arena silent for a moment.

The next instant, a huge roar erupted.

"Beautiful!"

"That was so cool!"

"He got so high! That guy jumped so high!"

"His whole head was above the rim!"

After marveling at the play, Zhang Weiping, the China commentators' Director Zhang, finally understood.

"Now I understand why they suddenly moved Wang Yi to center. His vertical leap is far beyond what his opponents can match. Put him at center, and all you have to do is throw the ball toward the rim—Wang Yi will dunk it."

"On defense, he's matched up against France's 2.04-meter center, Pete. Wang Yi has plenty of experience guarding players that size. He's faced NBA forwards just over two meters tall many times."

"If China had used a twin-tower lineup to counter France's Wolf Pack Tactic, they would've been put at a disadvantage. Think about it: France has two big men too, and theirs are taller than China's. As for their ability... honestly, they're much better too. If France used its twin towers to overpower China's twin towers, wouldn't China have to figure out another way to respond?"

"But now China isn't using two big men. They've moved Wang Yi straight to center, which puts France in a very tough spot. If they put their center on the floor, they'll be sabotaging their own Wolf Pack Tactic. But if they don't, their 2.04-meter center can't handle Wang Yi."

"Wouldn't that put them in a tough spot? Wouldn't it?"

Yu Jia tried several times to jump in, but couldn't get a word in. In the end, he had to wait for Director Zhang to finish before saying, "Director Zhang is absolutely right."
