Sterling saw the clip and decided to reply to it, as he claimed it was the only good shot Yan managed to hit. On the other hand, Sterling claimed to have hit Yan 20 times.

Your best shot of the night, outside of the knee. I got over confident after I hit you 20 times and you couldn’t hit me. I thought it was a joke. You surprised me there. Good shotQuote Tweet
