Wang Yi's earth-shattering dunk was nothing short of a Flying Immortal from Outside the Heavens.
The two American commentators at the arena were so shocked that they shot to their feet. One of them stood up so abruptly that he knocked over the water cup beside him and sent the chair behind him crashing over.
"Oh, my God! I've used that phrase about Wang Yi so many times, but I still have to say it: unbelievable!"
"Look at how far out he jumped from—he took off from a full step beyond the free-throw line. Now look at how high he got. From this camera behind the baseline, you can see that at the peak of his jump, his hand was less than ten centimeters from the top of the backboard."
"Oh, my God!!!"
"Is that even a height a human being can reach? And he's only 1.92 meters tall!"
"There have always been rumors in the league that someone could touch the top of the backboard. People used to say Wolf King Kevin Garnett could do it, but he denied the rumor. Later, people said Howard could reach it, but there was no proof. We did see a clip online of someone touching the top of the backboard, but we couldn't verify whether it was authentic."
"Now look at this: Wang Yi's fingertips were only ten centimeters from the top of the backboard. If anyone in today's league can touch it, it has to be Wang Yi."
The commentator summed it up: "That was absolutely the highest dunk I've ever seen in my life."
"Exactly. That was absolutely the highest jump I've ever seen. No contest."
Harden watched Wang Yi's back as he landed, lost in thought.
How had this extraterrestrial creature gotten to Earth?
Had he come by spaceship
