Chapter 621 Wang Xiucheng in the eyes of Otani Shohei!
Udoka and his men spent more than a minute exchanging ideas on the field before coming to the bench to arrange tactics.
When the game resumed, the fans in the arena noticed that the Nets had benched Thomas, who had been performing exceptionally well all night.
Replacing Thomas is today's substitute Kelly Oubre Jr.
There are 47 seconds left.
As he walked onto the field, Wang Xiucheng whispered something to Oubre.
This made Russell, who had been watching Wang Xiucheng closely, almost pop his eyes out.
What was Wang Xiucheng saying to Ubre?
It must be some kind of tactic!
I absolutely cannot let him get away from me!
Thinking this, Russell and Reeves walked over to Wang Xiucheng's side and attacked him from both sides again.
Towns, standing on the sidelines, passed the basketball to Oubre, who had just been on the court.
Wang Xiucheng was still caught in a pincer movement; sending the pass to him would be too risky.
When Wang Xiucheng saw the basketball being served, he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the frontcourt.
After entering the restricted area, Wang Xiucheng suddenly made a turn and crossed paths with Durant.
Durant thrust his thigh forward, causing Reeves to stumble.
Taking advantage of this opening, Wang Xiucheng left the paint again and moved to the top of the key.
Russell was the only one left by his side.
Oubre made a gesture to pass the ball to Wang Xiucheng, which caused Russell, who was under high tension, to reach out and hit Wang Xiucheng's outstretched arm.
However, the pass Oubre had envisioned by Russell never came!
broken!
Russell had barely formed this thought when the referee's whistle blew.
With a whistle, the referee stopped the game, pointed at Russell, and then made his ruling to the scorer's table.
Russell fouled Wang Xiucheng, who was off the ball, giving Wang Xiucheng a free throw and the Nets possession.
Time stopped at 43 seconds.
The Nets get one free throw and possession!
Russell looked like he'd just eaten shit.
James approached the referee, bent over with his knees on his hips, and discussed the play with the referee.
He was certainly not satisfied with the ruling.
But Russell, that idiot, did commit a foul.
He could see it clearly from not far away.
James even thought that Wang Xiucheng not screaming was already giving him a lot of face.
Ham, with a huge bump on his head, desperately wanted to replace Russell.
Ham saw Wang Xiucheng pulling Ubre aside and seemingly whispering something.
In retrospect, it was clearly a performance by Wang Xiucheng for Russell's benefit.
Russell actually believed it.
Ham looked at Wang Xiucheng again.
This kid always likes to pull these little tricks.
The ruling couldn't be changed, so Wang Xiucheng walked to the free-throw line and swished the ball into the net.
68:53.
Russell stood at the sideline, waiting for Wang Xiucheng.
Towns returned to the sideline.
After Wang Xiucheng finished his free throw, he stood in the corner.
Russell paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting Wang Xiucheng to run to the corner at this time, so he quickly followed and, together with Reeves, surrounded Wang Xiucheng at the corner.
Russell believes that Wang Xiucheng standing in that blind spot when serving was the stupidest thing he could do.
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng suddenly turned around and ran from outside the sideline towards the center circle.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly moved outside the boundary, attracting the attention of many people.
Just then, Towns served the ball.
Durant leaped high and caught the basketball.
Then, before the ball hit the ground, Durant threw it out.
Wang Xiucheng's full-speed sprint on the perimeter caused all the Hollywood stars on the sidelines to stop running.
Scarlett even slightly raised her feet, looking at Wang Xiucheng running past her with a strange expression.
A few steps later, Wang Xiucheng's feet made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the floor, and then he returned to the field.
Just then, Durant's basketball flew right over.
Reeves and Russell have been left behind, and James is the closest to Wang Xiucheng.
James lunged forward, and although it seemed impossible for him to stop Wang Xiucheng from receiving the ball given the distance.
However, Wang Xiucheng had to land because he was in the air and facing the basket from the side.
It's impossible to shoot from that position and posture.
As long as Wang Xiucheng lands, James is convinced that he can stop Wang Xiucheng from shooting.
However, James, who was only three meters away from Wang Xiucheng, saw Wang Xiucheng in the air twist his upper body like a pretzel.
This move changed Wang Xiucheng's position from being sideways to facing the basket to having his upper body directly facing the basket.
Then James saw Wang Xiucheng catch the basketball with one hand and throw it away.
James instinctively reached out, trying to touch the ball, but he couldn't manage it.
This final burst of power caused James to lose control of his body and lunge at Wang Xiucheng.
The referee glanced at James and Wang Xiucheng, who had already collided, but ignored them for the moment, keeping his eyes fixed on the trajectory of the basketball.
With a swish, a crisp sound rang out.
Three-pointer, in!
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle.
James fouled!
Wang Xiucheng's three-pointer is valid, and he needs to make one free throw!
68:56.
Staples Center was completely silent at that moment!
Neither the fans nor the Hollywood stars seem to have reacted yet.
Things happened so fast.
From a fan's perspective, Wang Xiucheng was just standing in the corner and then started running from outside the line.
Once inside the court, Wang Xiucheng received a ball from somewhere, and before it even hit the ground, he shot it.
The ball went in, and James even dove onto Wang Xiucheng.
Furthermore, the timer shows 39 seconds at this moment.
In other words, it only took Wang Xiucheng 4 seconds to make that shot!
There's also the time it takes for Durant to pass the ball around!
With a loud bang, the Staples Center suddenly erupted in cheers.
The celebrities in the first row could no longer sit still and stood up one after another.
Stallone clapped and nodded repeatedly.
Although her three daughters were also clapping, their gazes toward Wang Xiucheng grew increasingly ardent.
“He’s still so strong,” Olsen said softly.
Scarlett didn't hear at all. Her eyes were fixed on Wang Xiucheng, and she subconsciously licked her lips. It was snowing in New York, and she should go to New York to see the snow.
Although Shohei Otani didn't want to, he stood up like everyone else and clapped lightly.
"Shohei, is this the time you were talking about?" The woman next to Shohei Otani asked in Japanese.
“The King’s Time,” Shohei Otani said in Japanese.
"Is it him who made Watanabe so full of praise?" the woman asked again.
This time, Shohei Ohtani did not answer, but simply nodded slightly.
He and his wife watched a game between the Suns and the Lakers this season. During the game, he, Watanabe, and Rui Hachimura talked about Wang Xiucheng while chatting on the sidelines.
Watanabe held Wang Xiucheng in high esteem, but Rui Hachimura remained silent.
Shohei Otani knew that Rui Hachimura's silence meant he didn't know how to refute him.
He didn't want to admit that Wang Xiucheng was capable, but it was absolutely impossible to hear him praise and admire Wang Xiucheng in the same way that Watanabe did.
Shohei Otani knew that Rui Hachimura was unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do about it!
