On December 14, the home game of Shanxi against Beijing was again this season's highlight as a three-point buzzer beater from Shanxi guard Yang Jingmin in the last 1.8 seconds helped the team get overtime and receive its sixth success in this season.
"I'm really proud of the team. We played until the last whistle. That 1 was for you Naoto Nation!!!!" Williams posted on his twitter-like sina weibo, which has attracted nearly 10,000 fans with his 500 posts composed of his daily life in Taiyuan.
In Shanxi dialect, "Naoto" means fighting.
Last May, Williams renewed his contract with Shanxi club, and said that he chose to stay with the Zhongyu team since they are family.
"I came back because we have the best home court and best fans, we have stability in roster and our young players are growing better," he said.
Having been in China for four years, Williams said he has been gradually gaining affection with Chinese culture and his teammates.
"The food is good. I might not be home with family, but I feel right at home."
On 20th this month, Williams had an early Christmas with his girlfriend and son, with a nice dinner, Christmas gift and house gingerbread, before they left for another CBA game.
"I will miss them, but I will chat with my boy on line," he said.
