The footage released in China was not only high-definition but incredibly authentic.
The authorities naturally wouldn't say outright that Wang Yi had risked his life in a free-throw contest. But after reconstructing the entire incident, they confirmed that Wang Yi really had put his life on the line with those free throws.
At last, the truth had been proven.
And this time, the haters finally fell silent.
Wang Yi's fans were thrilled. One by one, they started showing off online.
"Let's hear from the haters now."
"Come on out and take a few steps, haters!"
"Hahahaha, that feels good."
"Someone who's killed an armed thug with his bare hands and saved the lives of 30 children—do you really think he wouldn't risk his life in a free-throw contest?"
When Wang Yi's fans challenged the haters, not one of them dared to speak up.
Every last hater stayed tucked away in their hole. Not one dared show their face.
Wang Yi's life-or-death free-throw contest had earned everyone's admiration and left them deeply shaken.
Bales's face had taken a beating over this.
On his show, Shaquille O'Neal made fun of Bales mercilessly.
"Honestly, my grandma could host Bales's show a thousand times better than he can. The guy hates just for the sake of hating. Everyone knows you go after Wang Yi for attention and clicks, but you can't just make stuff up to get them."
"If you want to be a top-tier hater, you need arguments. You need to make people believe you. But this guy just hates based on his own imagination. I'm sure when Bales's kids grow up and see these clips of him going after Wang Yi, they'll be ashamed of their father. They'll think, 'How did I end up with a dad like this?'"
