By now, countless cameras were shoved in Wang Yi's face, and microphones were thrust toward his mouth.
Wang Yi faced the cameras, as if he were facing Spike Lee—or perhaps all the Knicks fans.
He said something incredibly chuuni:
"Don't mention it. Just call me the Terminator."
One of the microphones belonged to a female reporter assigned to conduct the post-game interview. Her microphone was connected directly to the arena's sound system, so Wang Yi's words rang out through the speakers for everyone in the arena to hear.
When Spike Lee heard that, he could no longer stay on his feet.
He dropped straight down into the chair behind him.
He gasped for breath, as if he'd gone limp.
After hearing Wang Yi's words, the spectators in the arena abandoned their usual attitude of answering every taunt with a taunt.
Instead, they fell silent as one.

Then he pointed toward the scorer's table, signaling Wang Yi's number.
Next, he made the Technical Foul signal.
