Chapter 487 Sweeping through to advance, meeting the Nuggets in the finals!
"Congratulations, that was a fantastic performance."
Harden reached out and shook hands with Wang Xiucheng, then said with some reluctance.
"Thank you, you are my role model, always have been," Wang Xiucheng said.
Although it's unclear whether Wang Xiucheng was just being polite, Harden felt much better.
"I'll be going to China this summer, I don't know if I'll be able to see you then," Harden suddenly said.
"Probably not, I have to play in the World Cup." Wang Xiucheng shrugged.
Soon after exchanging greetings with his opponent, Wang Xiucheng found Zeng Fanbo and went to give an interview.
Since it was a match that the entire nation of China was watching, CCTV Sports also had its restrictions lifted.
CCTV Sports is now broadcasting every Nets game.
As always, Wang Xiucheng and Xiao Zeng arrived at CCTV first to be interviewed.
Zhang Manyuan wore a denim skirt today, which showed off her figure perfectly.
"Although we won today's game, it wasn't easy. What kept the Nets going until the very last second?"
Zhang Manyuan's first question was very official; she asked it, but it didn't seem to offer any real insight.
Wang Xiucheng then gave a very official answer: "Our team is very united, and everyone wants to end this series in Philadelphia."
"We firmly believed that the final victory would be ours, and indeed it was. We deserved this victory."
"Of course, the opponents are very strong, and we have great respect for them. Both Embiid and Harden are among the best players in the league, and it is an honor for us to play against them."
Zhang Manyuan glanced at Wang Xiucheng, not expecting that the young Wang Xiucheng would say such mature words.
The next moment, Zhang Manyuan shifted her focus to Zeng Fanbo.
"Little Zeng, you didn't have many opportunities today, but you did a brilliant cover for Wang Xiucheng when you closed the door. Did you practice that during training?"
At this moment, Zeng Fanbo did not answer the question, but suddenly looked at Wang Xiucheng and asked in a low voice, "Can I say this?"
Wang Xiucheng's face darkened. What was there to hide?
“We’re all on the same side, of course I can say that,” Wang Xiucheng replied with a wry smile.
Then, Zeng Fanbo looked at Zhang Manyuan and said, "Yes."
Zhang Manyuan stared at Zeng Fanbo for a full five seconds before she reacted.
Finished?
He only replied with one word?
Did you leave your mouth behind in China?
Not saying a single extra word?
But Zeng Fanbo looked completely serious, as if he had revealed some great secret.
Zhang Manyuan, who had only prepared two questions, had to ask another one at the last minute.
This time, however, she didn't ask Zeng Fanbo, but instead asked Wang Xiucheng again.
"Xiao Wang, are you confident you can win the championship in the finals against the Nuggets?"
Wang Xiucheng took a breath, "Try my best!"
Zhang Manyuan looked at Wang Xiucheng, and after another five seconds, she realized that she had finished speaking again.
play?
"Thank you both for the interview. See you in the finals," Zhang Manyuan could only say at the end.
Westbrook's interviews are still the most interesting.
So Zhang Manyuan started looking for Westbrook to see if she could interview him.
Wang Xiucheng waved, put his arm around Zeng Fanbo's shoulder, and went to Penguin Sports, where Meng Chao was located, for an interview.
Compared to the more official CCTV Sports, Tencent Sports appears more lively and free-spirited.
"I saw him chat with Harden after the game. What did they say? Can you tell me?" Mengchao's first question had little to do with the game.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Harden said he’s coming to China this summer,” Wang Xiucheng said.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chao was slightly taken aback. Was that so?
Wang Xiucheng seemed to have noticed something as well, and exaggeratedly covered his mouth, looked around, and then said in a funny little voice to the camera, "Cut this part out."
"Okay, we won't air this part." Mengchao responded with a smile, perfectly in line.
It seemed that Yang Yi, Wang Meng, and Meina had quite a few questions. Wang Xiucheng answered a total of five questions before the interview ended.
When the camera switched to the live stream, Wang Meng routinely read out the data.
"Today, Xiao Wang scored 52 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals."
"Durant scored 22 points, and Westbrook had 16."
"The Nets' Big Three scored a total of 90 points, accounting for almost 75% of the Nets' points."
"Every team knows that the Nets are a Big Three team, but they just can't stop these three players."
Yang Yi then picked up the conversation, saying, "We see that Xiao Wang scored 52 points today, along with 11 assists, 5 rebounds, and 5 steals. It was a very well-rounded performance."
"Furthermore, Xiao Wang's scores are very even, with over ten points in each quarter, and a small portion of those points coming in the last minute."
"This is a psychological blow to any team."
"And as everyone has surely noticed, Xiao Wang's physical strength is getting better and better."
"The scene of him being out of breath during his first season with the Rockets is rarely seen anymore."
"It's safe to assume that Xiao Wang must have put in a lot of effort at the gym."
Seeing that Yang Yi seemed to have finished speaking, Wang Meng finally remembered that he still had a task, so he looked at Mina, who was wearing a short skirt, and said, "Sister Na, I'm leaving the last bit of time to you."
"Okay." Mina smiled and held up the hoodie in her hand: "Just a little while longer, this hoodie is only 199 today, and there will be a lucky draw during the show. Lucky viewers will get to go to New York with us for the grand finale! Round-trip airfare, tickets, food, and accommodation—we'll cover everything! Hurry up, everyone..."
……
Although the Nets' game is over, its impact continues to spread throughout the United States.
This is the Nuggets' first time reaching the NBA Finals.
As for the Nets, although the team had already reached the NBA Finals twice, in the 02 and 03 seasons, thanks to Kidd.
But they lost both times, and the Nets ultimately missed out on the championship.
This marks the Nets' return to the NBA Finals after 20 years.
So regardless of whether the Nuggets or the Nets win the Finals, they will break team history.
At this time, many people started booking tickets again.
The customer service hotline is closed, so I can't get through. But the official website shouldn't be closed, right?
As a result, Brooklyn fans and Chinese fans crashed the Nets' official website and ticketing software in just three hours!
The Nets' public relations department urgently called the maintenance staff back to the team to work, and finally, two hours later, the website was back to normal.
Although the date for the finals has not yet been finalized, based on past experience, it will not be more than five days away.
Since both the Nets and the Nuggets swept their opponents 4-0, there won't be a situation like the Nets having to rest for many days before they could play a game.
Therefore, tickets to the finals are truly a scarce resource.
Especially for Brooklyn fans, they not only have to compete with their own people for tickets, but also with Chinese fans, so it's a bittersweet experience.
……
On the night of the Nets' victory over Philadelphia in China.
Jiang Yan was holding her child, sitting on the sofa watching TV with her parents.
The news broadcast is playing on TV today.
For Jiang Yan's father, watching the evening news was an indispensable part of his daily routine.
The evening news had been on for over twenty minutes. Jiang Yan looked at her drowsy child and was about to carry the child into the house when the sound from the television made her stop in her tracks.
"The following is a brief message."
"This morning, multiple cities including Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou launched a joint operation to arrest several members of a gang that had been using the pretext of selling celebrity privacy to endanger society and the country..."
