Su Xi shouted out two positions in Chinese. Wang Zhizhi was a player with a high basketball IQ.
He moved over in advance and arrived just as Tracy McGrady drove in, spreading his arms to obstruct him.
Tracy McGrady stopped short for a jump shot... Wade charged over and swatted the ball out of bounds with a loud SLAP!
American Airlines Center Arena erupted.
Wade was ecstatic. The media always claimed Tracy McGrady's shot was unblockable.
"I did it, Jack! I did it, Jack!" Wade shouted excitedly toward Su Xi.
Su Xi gave him a thumbs-up.
Had it been any other superstar, they might have just laughed off Su Xi's gesture.
But this was Tracy McGrady, the sensitive Tracy.
He was the type who couldn't tolerate the slightest offense, and he saw Su Xi's gesture as a deliberate provocation.
'Is this kid trying to provoke me on purpose? Does he really think he can steal my All-Star starting spot this way? How laughable!'
