Besides messages from his friends, there was also one from Nicole.
"Wang, you were amazing tonight, especially that game-winning alley-oop after grabbing the rebound at the other end. That was absolutely the best shot I've ever seen. You really are my favorite man."

Most haters with even a shred of decency wouldn't keep making trouble after you put on a performance like that.
Of course, there were also shameless haters who would keep criticizing Wang Yi even after a performance like this.

Less than two minutes after Wang Yi posted his tweet, Bales posted one of his own.

Wang Yi practiced, and he trashed him;
Wang Yi attended an event, and he trashed him;
Wang Yi did charity work, and he
