In fact, Director Zhang had only gotten half of it right. Wang Yi had been so aggressive at the start, and his dunk had been so explosive, partly because this was the 82nd game of the season, and Wang Yi was about to achieve the historic feat of winning all 82 games.
The other reason was that he had just noticed a hint of defiance in Flagg's eyes when the young man looked at him.
Before the game, at the media availability and in his previous public interviews, the kid had expressed respect for Wang Yi.
But when Wang Yi looked at him just now, he saw that there was clearly a bit of defiance in his eyes.
And the kid had opened the game with a spectacular 360-degree reverse dunk after shaking off his defender.
As the Raptors' leader, Wang Yi couldn't let his team fall behind in momentum. He had to answer with an even more spectacular, more explosive dunk.
That was the only way to instantly lift the team's spirits.
And Wang Yi had done exactly that.
After the dunk, the Raptors players' spirits soared.
Zhang Jiacheng, A. Nikola, Dauding, and Big Lock Rock all clenched their fists and roared before quickly racing back on defense.
Sometimes offense could fuel defense. When you were playing well on offense, you defended with a whole different kind of energy.
After Wang Yi's jaw-dropping dunk, the fans in the arena roared along with the players.
They let out loud gasps and cheers.
The noise was no weaker than the cheers after Flagg's basket. In fact, it was even louder.
When you thought about it, that was only natural. Wang Yi had played in the NBA for so many years and built up an enormous following.
He had two billion fans
