Among movie fans, there was a saying: "I don't like watching bad movies, but when they're this bad, I kind of want to see them."
Wang Yi felt the same way about Mitchell.
He didn't like people who sucked up to others, but he was a little curious to see just how far Mitchell would take it.
China had advanced to the final after defeating the Japanese Team.
This was what almost every fan had expected before the game, and it was exactly what they wanted to see.
Was the China Team strong?
In truth, the team wasn't all that strong overall.
But it was only because Wang Yi was on the team that they had managed to win six straight championships in the last six major international tournaments.
People often said that basketball wasn't a one-man sport, and that no matter how strong one player was, he couldn't beat an entire team.
Yet Wang Yi seemed to have turned that idea on its head.
When he first joined the Kings, they were practically a team full of role players.
Wang Yi led those role players to a championship. When he went to the Raptors, they didn't have a single star worth mentioning besides Pang Bo.
As for players like Nikola and Frank, they'd been nothing more than end-of-the-bench players on other teams. Yet Wang Yi had still led a group of teammates like that to a championship.
And he'd done it twice.
With the China Team, there was even less to say: he'd led his teammates to six consecutive titles.
So it was fair to say that no one could match Wang Yi's dominance on the basketball court.
As Shaquille O'Neal had said on the Shaq Show:
"Wang Yi could win a championship with my grandma."
