In fact, let alone everyone else, even Wang Yi himself found it hard to believe.
He had reacted to go for the steal after being faked out and sent flying, but he'd only made a tentative reach. Under normal circumstances, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't steal the ball after being faked out all the way beyond the baseline.
