Kings vs. Bucks, G4.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings were down by 40 points.
At that moment, almost everyone thought the Kings were finished.
But just then, the biggest Yi hater, Stephen A. Smith, posted a tweet.
"An incredible comeback. Let's get started!"
There was no doubt he didn't really believe Wang Yi could pull off an incredible comeback.
He was just trying to attract traffic.
And it worked. After he posted the tweet, the comments below it surged, and almost all of them were people cursing him out.
"Are you blind?"
"Down 40 after three quarters, and you're telling me to come back? What a moron!"
"Talking nonsense just to get clicks. What an idiot."
Inside a mansion in Los Angeles, Stephen A. Smith watched the likes and retweets on his tweet shoot up. The comments kept pouring in, and he couldn't help feeling delighted.
A pleased smile spread across his face.
Sure, 99 percent of the comments were people cursing him out.
But hate was still traffic, and even bad publicity was publicity.
Meanwhile, at the Bucks' home court, the Bradley Center,
the Kings players were all weighed down with gloom.
Most of them had their heads lowered.
Danny hung his head and said nothing.
He was blaming himself for how terribly he had shot from three throughout the series.
Xiao Qiao also hung his head, shaking it over and over.
He was still fumbling the ball today, turning it over when he caught it and making mistakes with his passes.
He was blaming himself too.
The little suck-up Mitchell was already thinking about how to comfort his leader, as well as how to take responsibility after the game.
Barnes kept his head down, without a word.
Cousins slammed his fist into the chair
