Face the Storm
Wang Yi had his back to Gobert.
He was 1.92 meters tall, while Gobert stood 2.15 meters.
It looked as though Gobert was holding a big child.
But then Wang Yi did something completely unexpected.
He backed into Gobert and dribbled toward the basket.
It was a move usually made by a big center.
Everyone was stunned.
Could he really overpower Gobert?
But the result was even more surprising. With every step Wang Yi backed in, Gobert gave ground.
Gobert was completely dumbfounded.
Since when did this guy get so strong?
Wang Yi backed all the way under the basket, then powered into Gobert. The moment he shoved him aside, he spun and rose for a dunk.
He slammed it home right over the 2.15-meter tower.
"Oh—"
The 50,000 spectators erupted in astonishment.
The American players all turned to look at Zion.
Wang Yi had dunked on Zion this way before.
"Zion, do you think Wang Yi really is that strong?"
Durant asked as he munched on some crispy noodles.
Zion snatched a small handful from his bag. As he ate, he recalled the time Wang Yi had backed him down, then nodded. "He doesn't look all that muscular, but when you actually go up against him, you realize his strength is astonishing."
"Like Old Fish Fisher," Harden added.
At his peak, James had barreled through the league, knocking aside anyone in his way.
But when he ran into Old Fish, who was half a head shorter than him, even James had trouble moving him.
France came back on offense.
They were still running their offense through Gobert in the paint.
Gobert shoved Zhou Qi aside, then tried to fake out Shen Zijie and dunk.
But just then, Wang Yi stepped in.
Gobert had already been dunked
