Any fan who had watched the Finals three years ago could recognize at a glance that this was the move Wang Yi had used to seal the Pistons' fate with a block. The man he had blocked was none other than Antoine, the so-called Artificial Giant.
Wang Yi had actually heard about the Lakers erecting a statue for him while traveling around the world.
James had even called Nicole at the time to ask whether Wang Yi could attend the unveiling ceremony, but Wang Yi had declined.
This was still the first time Wang Yi had seen his own statue in person.
The entire statue was life-sized, perfectly replicating Wang Yi's proportions.
Wang Yi got out of the car and looked up at his own statue.
A surge of excitement and hot blood rose in his heart again, as if he had returned to that night when he had thrown everything aside and fought with all he had!
Chris Paul put an arm around Wang Yi's shoulder and said:
"Buddy, what do you think of this pose?"
"Back then, I was the one who suggested that the Lakers collect statue poses for you online."
"This move ended up getting the most votes."
"The statue was officially unveiled in the second year after your retirement, on the first anniversary of the day you made that play."
"What do you think?"
Wang Yi nodded.
"Since the fans picked it, it can't be bad."
Rondo added from the side:
"Not just the statue. The Lakers have already retired both the No. 0 and No. 1 jerseys you wore."
JJ Redick continued:
"And the Kings and Raptors, the teams you played for, have also retired the No. 0 jersey you wore."
Chris Paul then said to Wang Yi:
"Actually, I also got some news.
