One Man Defeats an Entire Team
There were only 21 seconds left, and the Kings were up by seven.
The Nets were practically buried up to their necks.
Nets coach Nash called another timeout. When play resumed, De'Anthony put his defensive lineup back on the floor.
That lineup had done a tremendous job this game.
They had shut down Harden and Irving.
Only Durant had managed to bounce around a bit after entering his Personal Domain.
For the remaining 21 seconds, their defense was like a meat grinder.
It was relentless, leaving the Nets players unable to make a move.
Neither team scored in those final 21 seconds.
Wang Yi's final score for the game stood at 128 points.
The final score: 128–121.
Wang Yi had set multiple records in this game.
Single-game scoring record: 128 points;
Finals single-game scoring record: 128 points;
Single-half scoring record: 75 points;
Finals single-half scoring record: 75 points;
Most field goal attempts: 76;

When people around the world saw the result, they were all dumbfounded.
At the same time, their hearts raced with excitement.
At a construction site in the United States, a middle-aged man saw the result on his phone. He had stopped chewing the bread halfway through his bite.
There were only three words in his mind: Oh, my God...
