Ball Dad continued, "But after LaMelo hit the game-winner against the Raptors last night, I realized Wang Yi had gotten old. He's no longer the Dragon King who once ruled the court."
"He's an ailing, decrepit old dragon, practically at death's door."
"My sons, especially LaMelo, would easily beat him if they faced Wang Yi again."
LaMelo said the same thing on the show:
"All that sweat I pour out at the Training Hall every day isn't for nothing. It was for that game-winning shot last night, and it's for beating the Raptors and Wang Yi in the games ahead."
Second Ball chimed in:
"No one can win forever. Even Michael fell to the Pistons three years in a row in the Playoffs. And Wang Yi, who's already like an old man—and sick on top of that—is definitely no match for my brother."
Ball Boy kept it simple: "We're going to crush Wang Yi and the Raptors in Game 5 and take the Eastern Conference Championship!"
As soon as the episode aired, it was like someone had dropped a Little Boy bomb on the internet.
The whole internet erupted.
Wang Yi's fans swarmed the Ball Family Show's official website, leaving furious comments one after another.
"What makes you Ball family clowns think you can even compare yourselves to Brother Yi?"
"Brother Yi's just injured. When he comes back, you Ball family clowns can start waiting for the funeral procession."
"Seriously, who do you Ball family think you are? Have you forgotten how LaMelo got shut down by Brother Yi year after year? Every time he faced Brother Yi, he scored zero. Zero! And now you've got the nerve to run your mouths?"
The wave of traffic was so overwhelming that the Ball Family Show's official website crashed.
And it wasn't
