Wang Yi's fans were thrilled, while Jordan's die-hard fans were looking a little deflated.
Not only had Wang Yi blocked Jordan, but the score was now 18–16, with Wang Yi up by two and still in possession.
If Wang Yi made just one more three-pointer, Jordan would lose.
Even when they argued back, they didn't sound very convincing.
"He's only down by two. There's still plenty of time."
"Always believe in Joe the Boss."
"Coming back from behind against the odds is how Joe the Boss shows what he's made of."
Meanwhile, Wang Yi's livestream had already reached 59 million viewers, and was on the verge of breaking 60 million.
Wushuang had also reached 14 million registered users, and was closing in on 15 million.
For Wushuang to reach 15 million registered users on the very first day of its trial run was nothing short of astonishing.
The executives at TikTok and Kuaishou felt as if a formidable enemy was at their gates.
Executives at overseas video platforms like YouTube immediately gave the order: "Come up with a countermeasure. Now!"
NBA President David Xiao Hua was both burning with envy and aching over the lost opportunity.
How much money had he missed out on by failing to reach a deal with Wang Yi to invest in Wushuang?
Never mind that Wang Yi had never intended to let anyone buy in. In Xiao Hua's view, there was no such thing as a deal that couldn't be made. If a deal fell through, it was because the benefits hadn't been good enough. Give someone enough, and even the devil would drive for you.
A hope rose in Xiao Hua's heart: perhaps he could talk things over with Wang Yi again later.
No matter what, he had to make this deal happen.
