After the starting lineups, a huge number appeared on the big screen: 45.
Below it was a sentence: Wang Yi was 45 points away from 10,000.
In fact, Wang Yi had averaged around 40 points per game for nearly every one of the past few seasons.
At that rate, he should have reached 10,000 points last season.
But he had been injured for a month during that stretch.
And he kept getting suspended.
Also, because the team had done so well over the past few seasons, he usually sat out the last five or six games of the season.
That was why he had to wait until now to reach 10,000 points.
At that moment, all the spectators were eagerly anticipating Wang Yi's 10,000th point.
Many celebrities from all walks of life had come to the game.
The male celebrities included Justin Bieber and Beckham;
the female celebrities included Sharapova, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Daenerys Targaryen;
the male celebrities from China included Wu Jing, Jay Chou, Guo Qilin, and Jackson Yee;
the female celebrities from China included Zhao Liying, Dilraba Dilmurat, Gulinazha, and Zhang Yining.
And the one celebrity from China whose gender was unclear: Auntie Long.
Wang Yi breaking 10,000 points was a huge deal, so the Chinese celebrities had all rushed to the arena.
Of course, if all these people had shown up and Wang Yi still failed to break 10,000, that would have been something.
Wang Yi's parents and Nicole had also been brought over and seated in a private box.
In China, in Xu Jingyu's Baidu TV livestream,
Xu Jingyu took a sip of tea and set down his cup.
"Brother Yi's 10,000th point is finally coming, and it could happen against King Arthur, the new hero of Team America. If he really scores 45 points
