Chapter 78 The World is Crazy! The Tenth Level of the System! The Era of Wang Yan!
What is it that makes the Staples Center so eerily quiet?
What is making Cleveland fans cheer excitedly in the streets at this moment?
What is it that drives basketball fans all over China crazy?
The camera goes back to the Christmas game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers.

Facing the defense of Kobe and Artest, Wang Yan made a buzzer-beating mid-range shot in the final seconds of the game.

While scoring the winning goal, the Lakers were not given a single second to counterattack.

"Oh my god!"

"What the fu#k!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what did I see? Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Yan killed the game!"

"The game is over, the score is 121 to 118. Wang Yan ended this Christmas battle with Dirk Nowitzki's fadeaway stand!"

"This was the first buzzer beater in his career, the first buzzer beater goal by a Chinese player, and the first buzzer beater in the last seconds of the Christmas game!"

"And Wang Yan was facing a double team attack from Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest. You know, these two are both top perimeter defenders in the NBA!"

"More importantly, Wang Yan scored a game-high 85 points tonight! 85 points + a buzzer beater, Wang Yan became a god tonight!!"

In the commentary booth, the two commentators, who were already at a loss for words, were still shouting wildly.

. . . .

At the game scene, the referee was still reviewing the game video to determine whether Wang Yan's buzzer-beater was out of time.

However, at this time, the Cavaliers players ignored the referee and cheered.

Because Wang Yan's move was very clean, there was no possibility of overtime.

"Anti-python, Wang! You absolutely killed the Los Angeles God!"

"You scored the winning goal against Kobe Bryant!"

"Teach me this move, King!"

The entire Knights team rushed forward and surrounded Wang Yan.

At first Wang Yan felt good, but after a while he felt something was wrong.

He was actually lifted up by the Cavaliers players, and the black teammates around him were dancing wildly.

Black people, lift their heads high, and dance.

Isn’t this the famous black coffin bearer?
"Oh shit, put me down! Put me down now!"

Realizing that this was not a good omen, Wang Yan quickly shouted.

However, when it comes to the black people carrying the coffin, this group of black people are very professional and they will not stop until Wang Yan is buried.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Wang Yan was finally safely put on the ground by his teammates, but he was still frightened after landing.

And in the center of the venue, there was a figure standing in the crowd, looking a little lonely.

Kobe, who scored 62 points tonight, had a complicated expression on his face.

So much so that during the interview stage later, Kobe had a serious look on his face.

"What did you say? Let me give Wang Yan some advice."

Kobe just laughed: "Are you kidding me?"

"That guy scored 85 points on me!"

85 points + buzzer beater!

This is a feat that even he himself could not accomplish!
Do you want me to give him some advice?
It would be nice if he didn't give me some advice.

This is only because the reporter is a local reporter in Los Angeles, otherwise Kobe would really like to scold him.

"By the way, Kobe, you scored 60+ tonight."

"enough!"

The reporter wanted to continue asking questions, but Kobe interrupted him directly: "This is indeed my highest score in a single game in the past three years, but it is full of shame. You know, this is the only time in my career that I scored 60+ and lost the game..."

"I won't remember how many points I scored. I will only remember that I let Wang Yan score 85 points. I will only remember that I made the Lakers lose to the Cavaliers' buzzer beater!"

"We got beaten badly today. See you next time."

After saying this, Kobe left the interview scene.

It is obvious that Kobe was very angry today.

But looking at Kobe's expression, besides being angry, he seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

That's right!

The confrontation with Wang Yan made Kobe experience the feeling of youth.

You know, Kobe is a Black Mamba.

He exudes cold-bloodedness and aggressiveness.

It had been a long time since he had that kind of abandon-everything, blood-burning scoring contest.

Ever since I took off my No. 8 jersey and changed it to No. 24.

Kobe is that team player who is determined to win the championship.

He hid the omnipotent scorer, the scoring machine with explosive offensive desire deep in his heart.

But today, the true personality hidden deep in his heart was brought out by Wang Yan.

And more importantly.

He smelled the scent of Peter Pan in his youth in Wang Yan.

He couldn't wait to fight with Wang Yan again.

It is also another showdown with my younger self.

"There is only one reason why we lost, and that is Wang Yan!"

After Kobe left, Zen Master Jackson also conducted an interview with reporters, and he took all the responsibility on his shoulders: "Our wrong approach and strategy against Wang Yan was the primary reason for losing the game!"

"Of course, Wang Yan's own offensive strength was also the key to our loss."

"Coach Phil, Wang Yan scored 85 points tonight, surpassing Kobe's single-game scoring record. Do you think Wang Yan's ability at this stage is better than Kobe's?"

This question is quite sensitive and tricky.

If the answer is not sharp enough, the reporters will catch you by the tail and attack you.

It may even affect the atmosphere within the Lakers team.

"I've coached so many great names, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant."

"These people were the best basketball players of their time!"

"But today..."

When the Zen Master said this, he showed his signature KFC Grandpa smile.

Following this statement, it is very likely that Wang Yan is the strongest player of this era.

If you really say that, it may cause some unnecessary public opinion.

After all, the Zen Master still has Kobe in his hands.

This is equivalent to saying that Kobe is not as good as Wang Yan at this stage.

Everyone is waiting to see how the Zen Master will address the question next.

"But today I realized that an era belonging to Wang Yan may rise in the future."

"The future will definitely belong to Wang Yan!"

“All we can do now is to do well in the present!”

Otherwise, how can you say he is someone who has seen big scenes?

Even though he almost fell into the verbal trap, the Zen master remained calm and escaped.

The future belongs to Wang Yan.

So the implication is that it is not necessarily the case now.

This explanation of the answer cleverly defuses the reporter's trap.

It affirmed Wang Yan's strength, but did not say that Wang Yan's strength was stronger than Kobe.

But he was recognized by Phil Jackson.

This amount of gold is not simple!
. . . .

When the interviews on the sidelines of the game ended, the Cavaliers players took a break from their madness.

At this time, reporters from ESPN, TNT, WOJ and other media at the scene rushed towards Wang Yan like a tide.

At this moment, a voice flashed through Wang Yan's mind, as he had just been carried down in a coffin by the black man.

[It is detected that the host has completed the system task. Congratulations to the host for stepping onto the tenth step of the system! ]

Wang Yan then remembered that there was also a system reward.

The game was so intense that I forgot about it. Today I looked at Kobe's approval rating and was shocked.

Kobe's approval rating: 500%!

Good guy!
I broke your record and scored the winning goal right in front of you.

This is undoubtedly a sure-kill for Kobe, who has some M attributes.

Just as Wang Yan was about to step onto the 10th step of the system, a group of reporters armed with cameras swarmed in.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yan was surrounded by spotlights.

"Wang, congratulations on scoring your first 80+ in your career!"

"I've already scored 80 points, how far can 100 points be? When will you be able to break 100 points, Wang?"

"How do you feel right now, scoring 85 points on Kobe?"

"Wang, you led the team to 27 consecutive wins. Are you really working towards the 30th consecutive win?"

"King, now is your time..."

For this kind of scene.

Wang Yan can be said to be used to it.

Calm.

Don’t do six basic things.

"First of all, there's no need for you to be so excited because this is just an ordinary regular season game."

Still in Wang style, he remained calm: "This victory will not bring any help to our championship."

"Wang, do you mean to say that you are now a championship-level team?"

"Is not it?"

Wang Yan responded with a smile: "From the moment the season started, we never doubted that we were not the favorites for the championship."

If someone said at the beginning of the season that the Cavaliers were the championship team.

Then someone will definitely stand up and oppose it.

But now the regular season has seen 27 consecutive wins!

No one will doubt that they will win the championship anymore.

"As for scoring 85 points in front of Kobe, I can only say that it doesn't matter who the opponent is."

"This proves that their defense has caused great trouble to our team!"

"30 consecutive wins is indeed our goal at this stage, but not forever!"

"Maybe in a few days, our goal will be 34 consecutive wins."

Wang Yan’s last words gave the reporters at the scene a lot to think about.

Because the longest winning streak in the NBA is 33 consecutive wins by the Minneapolis Lakers.

What Wang Yan meant was that as long as they achieved 30 consecutive victories.

Their interim goal will be to break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak!

This is equivalent to paving the way for the next game after a crazy night.

On Christmas Eve, major news websites reported on this important game one after another.

"One battle decides the outcome. Wang Yan scored 85 points in a single game. The era of Wang Yan has officially arrived!"

ESPN directly quoted the Zen Master's words as a gimmick.

Is this the era of Wang Yan?

This is an issue worth discussing.

Let's put this question aside for now.

After all, one has to win the MVP + championship to officially establish the ownership of an era.

The news released by TNT afterwards directly blew away ESPN.

"Beat Kobe Bryant, trample the Lakers, Wang Yan brings Kobe's era to an end!"

Good guy!
The editors of ESPN were so angry when they saw this news from TNT.

This wave went the other way and won a great victory.

But to be honest, Kobe's era is indeed coming to an end.

The past five years have indeed belonged to Kobe's era.

In the first few years before the Sharks moved east, Kobe led the Lakers alone and created memorable individual performances.

After winning the scoring title, Kobe finally welcomed Gasol to join him, and in three years, he achieved the feat of two championships and one division championship.

Scoring champion + MVP + two championships in three years!
So it is not an exaggeration to say that this is Kobe's era.

But in today's NBA, many players are vying for supremacy.

There are many teams whose on-paper strength is stronger than the Lakers.

Even his explosive scoring ability, which he was most proud of, has now been lost to Wang Yan.

So, the Kobe era may really be over.

"Wang Yan is the best scoring player on the planet!"

In the evening, TNT held a symposium program, and Charles Barkley excitedly said: "He has developed the mid-range shot into a deadly weapon!"

"We should realize the seriousness of the problem. He hasn't developed his three-point shot yet!"

You know, on the night when Kobe scored 81 points, he made 9 three-pointers.

Wang Yan took many long two-point shots tonight.

So it would not be surprising if Wang Yan could develop the three-point shot.

"Wang Yan, who doesn't have a three-point shot, can score 85 points. If Wang Yan can make a three-point shot..."

"Then it will be time to surpass Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game!"

No one objected to Buckley's remarks at the symposium.

Wang Yan's performance tonight was so explosive that few people would believe that Wang Yan would have another performance like this.

In other words, 85 points in a single game may be Wang Yan's limit without shooting three-pointers.

If Wang Yan wants to break 100 points, he must develop the three-point shot!
"Also, I think what TNT said is right. Kobe's era is gradually fading."

"As for whether Wang Yan will usher in his own era, I won't say such things before he wins the championship."

"But I can be sure that he is the best player in the NBA!"

Barkley said: "He has already booked the All-Star ticket!"

The All-Star voting channel will be opened soon.

For Wang Yan, who already has hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, tonight's 85 points has attracted a lot of votes for him.

"I think the ticket king can no longer satisfy Wang Yan!"

Kenny Smith even stated: "He is competing for the NBA All-Star vote leader in history!"

Of course, if Wang Yan wants to compete for the first place in votes in history, he cannot do without the votes of Chinese fans.

At this moment, all news portals in China, including Balcony Five, TX Sports, Net One Sports, 3G Sports, etc., have written extensively about Wang Yan's performance.

UC News Network has carried forward the spirit of exclusive headline party:
"Beat Kobe, Zen Master is helpless, Lakers fans collectively turn against him, Wang Yan completely conquers America!"

There is no doubt that Wang Yan has once again stirred up a basketball storm in China.

The All-Star voting channel will open in just a few days.

Then Chinese fans will show the NBA what a billion-dollar scale means.

Wang Yan created a huge craze around the world, and Nike naturally did not miss this opportunity.

The renderings and advertisements of Wang Yanyi’s sneakers were immediately released on the official website.

And it is matched with three theme colors, among which the red sneakers Wang Yan is wearing tonight are directly named:

"85 Points Night!"

But fans seem to prefer another name for this colorway of the sneakers.

"A buzzer beater against Kobe!"

Kobe: In addition to killing someone, you also want to destroy their heart?

No need to think about it.

When the Wang Yan generation of sneakers is officially launched on January 1, it will surely set off a silent war in the sneaker market!
