After accepting a pick and then waiting for the screener to roll, Ding Yanyuhang slowly but surely gravitated to the three-point line along the left wing, shot and game clock both winding down and the score tied. Recognizing his advantage on the switch, Ding transferred the ball back to his dominant hand. From there: fake crossover, hesitation dribble and a driving burst to the charity stripe, a series of moves that afforded Ding just enough space for his pull-up stop jump shot to clear the outstretched arms of the defender and swish through the net with 2.9 seconds remaining. Following a timeout, Ding then proceeded to snuff out the fadeaway fling that would’ve sent the contest to overtime.<\/p>\n
