The three teams this reporter mentioned were all bottom-feeders this season.
Wemby had just said that no team stood a chance of beating Wang Yi, yet those three bottom-feeders had all beaten him—and one of them had even beaten him twice. How did he explain that?

Those numbers were utterly unprecedented.
Looking across all of history, no player had ever averaged 60+10+10+5+5 in the Playoffs.
Forget 60+10+10+5+5—not a single player had averaged
