Chapter 75 is a comparison with Chapter 4; whoever loses is a coward.
Chapter 75 is a comparison with Chapter 4; whoever loses is a coward.
Even Tatum stopped pursuing Wang Xiucheng.
But at this moment, Wang Xiucheng bounced the ball off the ground and passed it out.
Jalen Green arrived just in time, caught the ball with both hands, and took a step, just half a step away from the three-point line.
Swish!
The basketball traced a beautiful arc and fell into the net.
Three-pointer goes in.
Green smirked, looking arrogantly toward the players' tunnel, as if there was someone there he wanted to surpass.
The Rockets hit two consecutive three-pointers.
Wang Xiucheng held up three fingers and waved them in front of Tatum.
Tatum wanted nothing more than to punch Wang Xiucheng.
Did you vote for that? Why are you so smug?
"Forget the score, let's just compete in the fourth quarter. Whoever loses is a coward," Wang Xiucheng said as he retreated.
Tatum laughed again, "You?"
"Get the ball." Tatum received the ball directly on the baseline and then charged down the coast.
Upon reaching the three-point line, Tatum ignored the defense and pulled up for a shot.
Bang!
It didn't go in.
Shen Jing grabbed the rebound, and seeing no space, dribbled a couple of steps before passing it to Green who came over to receive it.
Wang Xiucheng and Martin ran on opposite sides of the court, while Green dribbled the ball alone, with Tatum blocking his way.
Green passed the ball directly to Christopher, who was passing behind him.
Christopher kept his head down and ignored who was in front of him. When he reached the three-point line, he pulled up to shoot.
Smart was originally following Wang Xiucheng, just three meters away.
At this moment, he abandoned Wang Xiucheng, took a step back, and jumped up to block Christopher.
In Smart's opinion, the word "pass" doesn't exist in Christopher's dictionary.
But this time he miscalculated.
Christopher actually changed his dictionary!
Christopher grinned and passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng, who was now unmarked.
After receiving the ball, Wang Xiucheng slightly bent his knees and jumped up to shoot.
Tatum had arrived behind them, and there seemed to be two flames flickering in his eyes.
Tatum gritted his teeth, took a big step, and jumped high into the air, preparing to block Wang Xiucheng's shot.
Wang Xiucheng has three-point shooting ability. Although he doesn't shoot many, he has no reason not to shoot when he has such a wide-open shot.
But Tatum quickly realized something was wrong.
Wang Xiucheng held the ball high, almost as if it had left the ground, but he didn't shoot it.
broken!
Tatum realized he'd been tricked.
Tatum had already begun his descent from the air. He was positioned sideways behind Wang Xiucheng to block him, just in case he hit Wang Xiucheng upon landing.
But now, Wang Xiucheng, whom he could see, suddenly seemed to shrink rapidly.
Wang Xiucheng had one foot with the toe constantly touching the ground!
Tatum saw Wang Xiucheng land on both feet, then dribbled the ball and stepped back for a three-pointer.
Snapped!
Swish!
beep!
Three voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The first sound was Tatum crashing into Wang Xiucheng, who was taking a step back. In an attempt to protect himself, Tatum's hand struck Wang Xiucheng's shoulder.
The second voice: Three-pointer in!
The third sound was the referee's whistle.
Tatum committed a foul!
Wang Xiucheng was pushed out by Tatum, sliding several meters in an exaggerated manner.
Before he had even stopped, Wang Xiucheng was already looking at the referee.
It seems that if the referee doesn't call a foul, I can continue skating outwards.
At this moment, Green and his friends quickly came over and helped Wang Xiucheng up. Several local actresses with great figures kindly helped Wang Xiucheng stand up and even gently squeezed his arms and buttocks, afraid that he might have hurt himself.
Uduka was so angry that he shook his head.
Wang Xiucheng was clearly acting; there's no way he would slide from the three-point line to the sideline.
If you're so good at skating, why don't you skate back to China!
Isn't this blatant extortion?
There is no challenge in Uduka.
Although it was a staged accident, Tatum did jump up.
Udoka could only complain a couple of times to the linesman.
Wang Xiucheng went to the free throw line, took the basketball, spun it around, and then shot it.
Bang!
The ball didn't go in.
Fortunately, Shen Jing headed the ball in.
Udoka couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.
The Rockets actually scored 5 points!
In just 4 minutes, the Rockets have already scored 13 points!
Uduka's worst fears came true.
Wang Xiucheng has actually started to be willing to shoot three-pointers, which is troublesome.
Wang Xiucheng is skilled at throwing, breaking through defenses, and passing.
How do we guard against people like this?
It is indeed very difficult to defend against without committing fouls or using dirty tricks.
But I can't defend against you, and you can't defend against me.
Let's see who scores more points.
Wang Xiucheng's offense is strong, but his weakness is also obvious: his defense.
Udoka called Brown up: "Go up there and score."
Tatum, Brown, and Smart all came back on the court together in what should have been garbage time in the fourth quarter.
Although only one player was changed, the Celtics were completely revitalized.
Brown, who can also shoot, pass, and drive, and has even better physical attributes, makes it difficult for the Rockets' rookies to match up on the defensive end.
The two teams were evenly matched on the field.
With three minutes remaining in the game and the score difference still around 15 points, Udoka substituted all the starters.
Silas took advantage of a dead ball situation to substitute both Wang Xiucheng and Green.
The game ended with a Celtic victory.
The score was 108-90, with the Celtics winning by 18 points.
Tatum scored 30 points, but he wasn't happy at all.
The Celtics lost the final quarter.
Or rather, he lost.
The Rockets won by 5 points in the final quarter. If we exclude garbage time and continue until Wang Xiucheng left the court, the Rockets would have won by even more.
This made him feel terrible, worse than if he had eaten shit.
Penguin Live Room.
"Wang Xiucheng played for 21 minutes, scoring 13 points and 10 assists."
"Green was the Rockets' top scorer with 27 points, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, which was very efficient."
"What do you two teachers have to say?"
After Wang Meng finished reading the data of the main players, he looked up and asked a question.
Yang Yi pushed up his glasses and said, "We saw that Xiao Wang was suppressing his scoring. Sometimes he was open, but he still chose to pass the ball, and his teammates actually made the shot."
"Xiao Wang is confident in his teammates and in himself. He is becoming more and more mature."
Wang Shipeng then said, "That's true. Chinese basketball is going through a lot right now. It's good for Xiao Wang to stay in the NBA and stay away from all this trouble."
Several people were silent.
Everyone knows what's going on in the Chinese basketball world, but it's just not something that can be discussed in this setting.
Fortunately, the director pointed out that there was an interview scene ahead, so Wang Meng quickly said, "Come and see the interview, let's get a closer look at our Xiao Wang."
The hosts all looked up at the big screen, and even Xiaoqi, who had been looking down at her tablet, looked up.
"Hello to all the fans of Tencent Sports, the game has just ended, and we have invited Wang Xiucheng."
Meng Chao was holding a microphone, and next to him was Wang Xiucheng, who still had a towel around his neck.
Wang Xiucheng deliberately took off his jersey and wore a dribbling vest with the Antar logo underneath.
Perhaps it was because the air conditioning in the venue was a bit too hot, Meng Chao's face was flushed.
"Hello everyone." Wang Xiucheng smiled and gave a simple greeting.
Looking closely at Wang Xiucheng's muscles, Meng Chao felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Although her breathing was rapid, she still asked, "What do you think of your performance today?"
"It was alright, I guess. I missed a few floaters and free throws. I still need to practice more when I get back," Wang Xiucheng said simply.
Meng Chao's thoughts were already in disarray, and he even forgot the questions he had prepared in advance, so he could only ask a few questions on the spot.
After a hasty interview, Wang Xiucheng shook hands with Meng Chao and was about to leave when Meng Chao called him back.
Seeing that the camera was off, Meng Chao asked in a low voice, "Um, Wang Xiucheng, can I treat you to dinner later?"
"No."
Hearing Wang Xiucheng say this, Meng Chao lowered his head in disappointment.
"Our whole team is heading back to Houston today, so I can't really ask for leave. I'll treat you when we get back." Wang Xiucheng smiled, said this, and then left with the PR person.
Meng Chao's disappointed expression suddenly turned into joy, and then into a smile, so much so that her eyes even misted over.
