In the final moments of the third quarter, Qin Yue deliberately drew the United States team's double-team to the sideline and first passed the ball to Sun Yue, who came over to assist him. Then, using a give-and-go play with Sun Yue, Qin Yue drove directly to the basket and delivered an alley-oop pass to Yao Ming that the opponent would never forget.
"Have you seen Saint Seiya? There's a special move called Athena's Exclamation in there, which needs three Golden Saints working together to execute. When I received that pass from Qin Yue in the game, I was thinking that the cosmos of me, him, and Sun Yue seemed to have concentrated at one point." Many years later, Yao Ming recalled the alley-oop dunk this way.
Bam——!
At the Wukesong Basketball Hall, Yao Ming's alley-oop dunk locked the score at 68 to 84 in favor of the Chinese-American Teams at the end of the third quarter.
Qin Yue, who scored 24 points for the Chinese Team in a single quarter, had decisively widened the score gap.
