Point Guard BUFF
Just three seconds into the game, Wang Yi had already recorded an assist.
That made him a little excited.
Looks like this task wasn't all that hard after all.
Back on the other end, the Grizzlies launched a fast break too.
The moment Beverley scored, Grizzlies guard Konchar had already thrown a long pass over half court.
Morant then knocked down a deep three.
That was the Grizzlies' offensive pace this season.
They played very fast, so their games usually featured a lot of possessions.
As a result, their stats were impressive across the board.
Their season-high of 152 points in a game ranked first in the league;
their high of 68 rebounds ranked first in the league;
their high of 41 assists ranked first in the league;
their offensive and defensive rebounding totals also ranked first in the league;
their high of 18 steals ranked third in the league.
With so many stats near the top of the league, it was no surprise they were now sitting third in the West.
Back on the other end, the Kings launched a fast break too.
Wang Yi, playing point guard, quickly dribbled past half court.
As the opposing team moved to trap him, head coach Little Mustache D'Antoni shouted from the sideline, "Move the ball quickly! Don't let them set the trap!"
Wang Yi immediately passed the ball.
But Morant, on the other side, was incredibly alert.
He realized Wang Yi was going to pass to Beverley, darted in from the middle, and stole the ball.
He charged down the court and finished the play with a soaring tomahawk dunk.
Wang Yi furrowed his brow.
He had actually made a point of avoiding Morant when he passed. He hadn't expected the guy to be so explosive, with such
