"Su, what do you think about all the talk online?"
Two days later, the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Sacramento Kings.
Before the game, the media held an interview. The reporters wasted no time bringing up the coverage from the past two days and the fans' criticism of Su Yi.
Su Yi showed no change in his expression. Looking at the reporter, he said, "Didn't see it."
The reporter's face turned as dark as a thundercloud.

After all, they hadn't hit a sore spot, so of course it didn't hurt.

Su Yi didn't finish. He left the rest for the reporters to fill in however they liked.
He'd be proving them wrong on the court soon enough anyway.
