There are only 8 seconds left in regular time.
Wang Yi is about to stand on the free throw line and take the extra penalty shot.
If it scores, both sides will tie.
It's likely to go into overtime.
If they don't score, the Lakers will be one point behind and the opponent will have the ball.
If you want to win it back, your chances will be even smaller.
At this moment, whether it is the more than 14,000 fans in the stadium or the more than 60,000 fans in the square outside the stadium - yes, the square that originally had only more than 10,000 people has now gathered more than 60,000 people - or
It's millions of fans in front of televisions, computers, mobile phones and tablet screens.
All eyes fell on Wang Yi alone.
If the gaze had weight, Wang Yi would have been crushed to death countless times.
The irony is that Wang Yi's small step is a giant step for Chinese players, but Chinese fans are unable to witness it with their own eyes.
In countless classrooms, offices, roadsides, restaurants in Huaxia... countless fans are scratching their heads and scratching their heads in anxiety, constantly cursing.
At Staples Center, James patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said:
"Brother, go ahead, this is your night."
The thick eyebrow also pinched Wang Yi’s shoulders and joked:
"Brother, two of the top five superstars in the league are personally at your service. It won't matter if you can't make this free throw."
He is not afraid of adding pressure to Wang Yi.
This guy seems to have never known what pressure is.
As strong as the boss LeBron, he will also be nervous in certain important games, such as the first game of the Finals.
In other words, everyone is nervous.
But Wang Yi seems to have never known what tension and pressure are.
The stronger the opponent he encountered and the more important the competition, the more excited he became, as if he was on stimulants.
Wang Yi nodded to the two of them and said lightly: "Free throws are my strength."
Then he walked to the free throw line.
James looked at Wang Yi's confident back and felt a little envious.
If his free throws could be as accurate as Wang Yi's, I guess many games wouldn't have to be so difficult.
When Wang Yi walked to the free throw line, an unknown audience member shouted loudly.
"mvp!"
Then, three or five people echoed: "mvp!"
Then there were more than 20 people, more than a hundred people, five hundred, a thousand...
Soon, more than 14,000 spectators in the audience shouted in unison.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
…
The sound is as powerful as a rainbow and the momentum is like thunder.
Wave after wave of sound echoed throughout the Staples Center Arena.
Wang Yi couldn't help but pause in his steps.
mvp, most valuable player!
How many players have played basketball their entire lives and heard the audience shouting at them like this?
Only those players who are extremely capable and have made great contributions in a certain game are likely to hear such calls.
There are two important reasons why Wang Yi was able to persevere during those more than two years of decline.
One is that he wants to prove to the world that people with yellow skin can make a difference in the NBA.
The other is to always hold on to such hope that one day I will be able to hear such voices from the audience.
The first one is for the public;
The second one is for personal reasons.
But it is much more difficult for yellow-skinned players to hear such cheers in NBA stadiums than for local players.
Especially the fans at Staples Center.
They have seen Magic Johnson during show time;
I’ve seen Kobe O’Neal in his ok period;
Have you seen James today...
There are too many superstars in the history of the Lakers, and the fans' tastes have been spoiled.
If they don't perform very eye-catching performances, or complete important tasks in important games, it would be difficult, very difficult to hear the "mvp" call from their mouths.
And tonight, at this moment.
When Wang Yi scored 60 points, he almost single-handedly dragged the originally unsuspicious game to the last dozen seconds, and even hoped to enter overtime.
He finally heard Staples Center's call.
"mvp, mvp, mvp..."
The fans' voices continue.
Wang Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
The referee threw the ball over.
Wang Yi still threw the ball smoothly like any free throw.
His free throws looked casual, like he was practicing free throws in training.
Whoosh!
The basketball hit the net.
109 to 109!
Tie!!
"coax--"
Staples, the sound was overwhelming.
The sound in the square outside Staples was also loud.
The Lakers players raised their fists to the sky and shouted angrily.
However, Wang Yi is very sober.
He pushed Caruso, who was still shouting excitedly: "Get back on defense! Get back on defense quickly!"
Caruso also reacted instantly and shouted to the other three people on the Lakers court: "Get back on defense!"
After saying that, he and Wang Yi rushed to retreat to the backcourt.
Then the other three Lakers quickly retreated towards the backcourt.
The Hawks actually wanted to steal a fast break while the Lakers were celebrating.
Eagles coach McMillan also kept reminding the Eagles players: "Quickly! Fast break!"
But when he saw that under the leadership of Wang Yi, the Lakers players had completed their retreat, he could only curse bitterly:
"I really hate this Chinese person!"
Of course, this does not mean that he really hates Wang Yi.
If Wang Yi were an Eagles player, he would naturally love him to death at this time.
Since he couldn't start a fast break, McMillan could only use the last timeout and set up a pick-and-roll tactic between Trae Young and Capela.
However, when this tactic was actually implemented, James on the sidelines saw through it.
James' memory is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Basically, as long as he has seen a tactic once, he will be able to see through it immediately the next time his opponent uses it.
Not only can he see through it, he can also clearly tell which year, month and day it is, and which quarter the opponent is playing with, and the opponent's tactics are used.
Wang Yi also saw through this tactic, but he was different from James.
He doesn't have James's inhuman memories.
He memorized more than 70 sets of Eagles tactics by studying game videos of other teams day and night.
So at this time, James shouted loudly off the court: "Pay attention to their pick-and-roll, block Capela! Don't let him get inside!"
Wang Yi on the court also shouted to Harrell loudly: "Pay attention to the pick-and-roll and jam him!"
At the same time, he paid attention to chasing Trae Young.
After Capela screened Trae Young, Wang Yi squeezed past Capela and continued to pursue Trae Young.
Originally, according to the tactics, Capela had to go down the line.
But because James and Wang Yi saw through it, Harrell was reminded.
Harrell stuck Capela outside the three-point line.
Trae Young had no choice but to end it by himself.
However, the Lakers had Kuzma inside at this time, so Trae Young chose to take a very fast throw.
Since Wang Yi was still behind him at this time, and his throws were just raised to his chest and then thrown forward, it was impossible to block the shot.
However, at this moment, a figure flew over from the right baseline.

Chapter completed!
