Wang Yi was indeed tired tonight, so he fell asleep without waiting for the system to release a mission.

The last time the system released a training mission at night, it kept him awake for most of the night.

So tonight he went to sleep early, planning to check it in the morning.

Meanwhile, at a private clinic in Los Angeles.

Dr. Karen couldn't calm down after watching the Lakers' game.

Others might only feel surprise, wonder, and disbelief after seeing Wang Yi's performance.

But for him, the feeling could only be described as "shock."

Because he knew Wang Yi had an injury in his right wrist.

Wang Yi's right wrist injury was a chronic one.

Years of training with the injury had made it progressively worse.

Even though he switched to shooting with his left hand, his right hand still had to bear force when lifting the ball.

And this was in a high-intensity environment like the NBA.

Under these circumstances, this Easterner managed to score 28 points in just over ten minutes and hit the game-winning three-pointer.

This required not only exceptional basketball skills but also immense willpower.

Incredible;

Unbelievable!

Because of this, he secretly made a resolution.

He had to heal Wang Yi's injury as quickly as possible.

He couldn't let such a tenacious person's career be ruined by an injury.

If he had only treated Wang Yi before out of respect for James, now it was out of appreciation for his talent.

Meanwhile, in China, across the ocean.

Wang Yi's game-winner had set the entire internet ablaze.

Online, any media outlet covering the NBA basically featured Wang Yi's name.

Pelinka, What Are You Waiting For?

Undeniably, many of these reports and posts contained exaggerations.

But this is how domestic media operates; when you play poorly, they can drag you through the mud. When you play well, they can praise you to the heavens.

As a Chinese player in the NBA, you have to be prepared to be praised to the heavens, but also have the awareness that you might be dragged through the mud.

On the Weibo of renowned Chinese basketball commentator Yang Yi, he posted only two words: "Satisfying!"

The meaning behind those two words was self-evident.

For Chinese fans, ever since Da Yao retired, they had been waiting for another Chinese player who could establish themselves in the NBA.

Although Wang Yi went to the NBA, he drifted between teams for the first two years.

He only got a few minutes of playing time during garbage time.

Naturally, there was no significant performance to speak of.

But in tonight's game, Wang Yi not only scored 28 points but also hit the near game-winner, sealing the victory.

This made Chinese fans feel like a pent-up frustration of over a decade was finally being released.

At the same time, the news of Wang Yi's near game-winner also trended to 8th on Weibo's hot search.

Even people who didn't follow basketball closely would search for it upon seeing news of a Chinese player making a triumphant return in the NBA.

Meanwhile, highlights of Wang Yi's 28-point performance today were also circulating on various short video platforms.

And the view counts, likes, and comments on these videos were rapidly increasing.

Xiao Ke specialized in creating NBA short videos.

There are many people who make a living doing this.

So his videos never got many views or likes.

Today, after watching the Lakers' game, he habitually made a highlight reel of the player who performed best that day.

The Lakers' best player today was, naturally, Wang Yi.

He edited together all of Wang Yi's 28 points.

At the same time, at the very beginning, he highlighted the score between the Lakers and the Clippers at the time.

115 to 117.

Next, came the voiceover: "I was born for this moment!"

Then, there was the original English audio of Wang Yi receiving a pass from Caruso and hitting that near game-winner.

This was followed by the Chinese version.

Only then did it show all of Wang Yi's 28 points, 2 steals, 2 assists, and 1 block.

After finishing, he took a deep breath.

He uploaded the video to the Douyin short video platform.

After doing all this, he finally had time to eat a few bites.

He still had to drive for DiDi in the afternoon to supplement his income.

He stirred yesterday's leftovers and rice together into a single dish.

After a simple meal, he drank some water.

He then prepared to drive for DiDi.

After getting into the car, he habitually checked his phone.

But as soon as he looked, he froze.

The video he had uploaded just half an hour ago had already reached 1134 likes.

And 332 comments.

He wondered if he was seeing things wrong.

He knew that normally, even his videos of the NBA's hottest superstars took at least three days to reach these numbers.

Now, in just half an hour, it had reached these numbers.

He naturally found it hard to believe.

He looked closely a few times and confirmed he wasn't mistaken.

He thought about it, figuring it must be because Wang Yi's performance today was too outstanding, coupled with it being the first near game-winner by a Chinese player in the NBA.

With these two buffs, it was normal for the video to get a lot of likes.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and exited Douyin.

He started up DiDi and began accepting orders.

There were quite a few orders that afternoon. After completing a few, he felt an itch to check the numbers on his phone.

But soon, another order came in.

He had no choice but to continue driving.

He drove for two full hours.

After two hours, he really couldn't hold back any longer.

So he parked the car in a parking spot at the entrance of a park and turned off DiDi.

He quickly opened Douyin.

Soon, two numbers caught his eye.

Likes: 1.3w

Comments: 4033

His heart was instantly filled with ecstasy.

Normally, his highest-performing video, which took a week to make, had just barely broken 20,000 likes.

Today's video, in just two and a half hours, had reached over 10,000 likes.

And the proportion of comments was so high.

Normally, he'd get one comment for every dozen likes, a ratio of about twelve to one.

But today, it had reached three to one!

This was truly terrifying.

He couldn't help but scroll through the comments.

"Our Wang is awesome!"

"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"

"6666666!"

"Wow, a near game-winner!"

"Finally, a player from our China has hit a game-winner in the NBA, let's celebrate!"

Looking at these comments, Xiao Ke's gaze trembled.

His heart was already filled with hope.

It seemed he had latched onto the right person in Brother Yi.

He looked forward to Brother Yi playing more exciting games.

As long as Brother Yi's games were exciting enough, his videos wouldn't have to worry about not getting attention.

With more attention, the money would naturally follow.

His financial pressure would be greatly relieved.
