If Yu Jia hadn't explained it, the audience would have seen all of Wang Yi's bizarre moves without understanding why. But after Yu Jia pointed it out, they watched the replay in slow motion and realized that what looked like one smooth sequence of moves was actually packed with details.
"Man, that was detailed! So detailed!"
"Brother Yi's got such great attention to detail!"
"Absolutely freaking meticulous!"
"I've never seen anyone this meticulous in my life."
If Wang Yi saw these comments right now, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"When all five opponents saw Wang Yi coming at them with the ball, I bet they were delighted: 'We've got one guy alone!' What they didn't realize was that when Wang Yi saw the five of them, he was probably just as delighted: 'Five guys all alone!'"

"We'll stick with the same defensive strategy as before. Keep two guys on him at all times, and Arthur should look for the right moment
