Chapter 313 The King of New York is Back!
The sudden commotion also caught the attention of the Nets' bench.
Everyone, including Durant, looked over. The next moment, Durant stood up, walked to the scorer's table, and greeted Wang Xiucheng.
Nash gave Durant a disapproving look. "Are you trying to become a coach?"
“The team doctor said you should rest,” Nash said.
Based on Nash's understanding of Wang Xiucheng's personality, it's impossible for him not to play if Wang Xiucheng is on the court.
"I think it's fine, three minutes is fine," Wang Xiucheng smiled.
Nash glanced at the time and could only nod.
On the other side, Mazura, who had been confident of victory and was squatting on the ground explaining the tactics, suddenly felt her heart beat faster.
I actually started to get nervous!
beep!
The timeout is over.
Nash was stunned. Was it over?
I haven't even said anything yet!
Why did it end?
So fast?
Are you taking advantage of my inability to count?
"Give the ball to Wang." Nash shouted to the players who came onto the court, thus completing his task.
The game resumed amidst enthusiastic applause from the fans.
At this moment, the image of Wang Xiucheng returning to the field was broadcast to millions of households across China via television and the internet.
Millions of fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiucheng stood on the sidelines, only one meter away from Jin Zhen.
Seeing Jin Zhen's eyes red like a rabbit's, Wang Xiucheng secretly smiled at her.
Of course, to outsiders, it looked like Wang Xiucheng was smiling at Bruno.
After all, almost half the people in the stadium have heard Bruno call himself Wang Xiucheng's friend.
Claxton stood off the court as the referee began a countdown using his hands.
Jaylen Brown finally guarded Wang Xiucheng again.
Wang Xiucheng used one hand to hold Jaylen Brown, then turned sideways and raised his other hand high.
Then, Claxton's ball flew through the air, over Jaylen Brown's head, and into the air above Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng, much like using Tai Chi to deflect force, deflected the basketball with one hand and brought it to the ground, thus regaining control of the ball.
"Kung Fu! Chinese Kung Fu!" O'Neal suddenly shouted.
He had seen this kind of kung fu in China; the old ladies in the park practiced it every morning.
"I said it before, all Chinese people know kung fu, I said it!" O'Neal shouted, as if someone had finally proven his theory.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng dribbled forward, then changed direction, shaking off Jaylen Brown by half a body length before rushing to the other side.
Jaylen Brown gritted his teeth, stomped his feet hard on the floor, and forcefully changed direction to block Wang Xiucheng's breakthrough.
Bang!
Wang Xiucheng switched hands between his legs, then immediately turned around and stuck one foot behind Jaylen Brown.
Wang Xiucheng used Jaylen Brown as a pivot point to instantly get behind him, and then charged forward.
Jaylen Brown's momentum toward the left could not be changed, but his hand reached out to grab Wang Xiucheng, who was moving in the opposite direction.
But Wang Xiucheng was too fast; his turn was so swift that Jaylen Brown couldn't catch him at all.
Instead, the body's inertia contradicted the brain's instructions, causing Jaylen Brown to split his legs wide.
Left with no other choice, Jaylen Brown fell backward.
He knew that if he forced himself not to fall, his lower body would only suffer tremendous tearing force!
Instantly, the scene erupted in noise again.
Jaylen Brown was actually fooled by Wang Xiucheng!
The Nets' bench players all stood up, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Ben, dressed in a suit and tie, was even holding his head, looking completely bewildered.
O'Neal was shouting into the microphone in a language that no one else could understand. Barkley tried to stand up, but O'Neal pushed him to the ground.
"Only serious defenders get faked out!" O'Neal shouted. "Jaylen Brown isn't the first, and he won't be the last."
At O'Neal's shout, Wang Xiucheng had already rushed into the paint.
Tatum and Horford both rushed forward, determined to stop Wang Xiucheng even if it meant committing a foul.
Otherwise, if that ball goes in, it will definitely be a top 5 play, and Jaylen Brown will become the background character.
The Celtics are also losing face.
Bang!
Wang Xiucheng made a bounce pass, and the basketball was delivered to Claxton, who was unguarded in the paint.
Claxton slammed his fists down hard, then pounded his chest like a gorilla.
"Come on!" Claxton yelled at the camera.
His excited demeanor was a stark contrast to his dejected appearance on the bench just moments before.
Nash, arms crossed, had to admit once again that this team, even without Durant, couldn't do without Wang Xiucheng.
Durant is a top shooter in the league, and his fadeaway mid-range shot has dominated the league for over a decade.
However, when it comes to the ability to connect the entire team and bring everyone together, Durant cannot compare to Wang Xiucheng.
In the current Nets, Durant is the undisputed leader.
But when it comes to appeal and cohesion, Wang Xiucheng is clearly the more suitable person.
However, this is even better, as Durant's position allows him to shield Wang Xiucheng from a lot of trouble.
Wang Xiucheng strolled slowly, as if taking a walk, past the Celtics' bench, a smile on his face.
The Celtics' bench players were seething with hatred, but dared not do anything.
Jackson looked at Wang Xiucheng.
He noticed that Wang Xiucheng had been looking at him specifically, as if to say, "Come up here!"
Bruno stood up and extended his hand, waiting for Wang Xiucheng to pass by.
Seeing Bruno's expression, Jin Zhen stood up and extended her hand.
Kim Ji, Park Young, and even Li, seeing Kim Jin's reaction, all followed suit and reached out their hands.
When Wang Xiucheng arrived here, he paused for a moment, then smiled and slapped the five palms on the assembly line.
Before I could even chat with Jin Zhen, Jaylen Brown on the other side had already brought the ball over.
Wang Xiucheng stood at the top of the arc, waiting for him.
Horford ran out again and stood beside Wang Xiucheng.
Jaylen Brown used a screen to enter the paint from the other side.
Wang Xiucheng took a step back and followed Jaylen Brown.
Wang Xiucheng didn't move; he just followed along.
But it was this following that made Jaylen Brown afraid to make any move.
Wang Xiucheng's speed and jumping ability made Jaylen Brown quite wary.
Left with no other option, Jaylen Brown saw that Tatum had shaken off Durant, so he passed the ball to Tatum.
However, Tatum and Jaylen Brown are too close together.
As soon as Tatum received the ball, Wang Xiucheng followed.
And instantly he stuck to Tatum.
Meanwhile, Durant caught up with Tatum.
Pincer attack!
Snapped!
A hand slapped the basketball in an instant.
The basketball was knocked out of Tatum's control and fell to the ground.
Snapped!
Bang!
The hand slapped the ball again, and the basketball bounced off the floor, passing between Tatum's legs and landing behind him.
Joe Har immediately caught up with the basketball and charged towards the empty basket.
With a thud, Joe Har easily scored two points.
Then, Johari turned around and pointed at Wang Xiucheng, who had just made the interception and pass.
112:106.
Within a minute of Wang Xiucheng's return, the score difference instantly jumped from 2 points to 6 points!
Brooklyn... no, the king of New York has returned!
