Chapter 609 Christmas Battle: Nets vs. Nuggets!
"How are the children?" Reba asked, her voice trembling slightly as she hugged Wang Xiucheng.
She hasn't seen her child for a week.
Firstly, the company has a busy schedule of filming TV dramas, and secondly, it's because of the filming of this episode of Running Man.
She originally didn't want to participate in the filming.
However, PD Yao said that filming would take place at the Barclays Center and that Wang Xiucheng would also participate in the filming, so she came.
After this shoot, she can take a vacation in New York and rest for half a month.
Then she can spend every day with her child and her man.
"I'm eating well and sleeping soundly, everything's great," Wang Xiucheng said softly.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng said somewhat angrily, "You didn't even ask me if I was alright."
"How are you?" Dilraba asked, looking up with burning eyes.
"No, I can't stop thinking about you," Wang Xiucheng said, shaking his head.
"I missed you too." Reba could no longer suppress her emotions and reached out to hug Wang Xiucheng's neck.
However, just as Dilraba was about to make her next move, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Dilraba? Where are you?"
Yang Ying's voice rang out from outside.
Reba was a little unhappy, but fearing that Yang Ying would barge in, she had no choice but to let go of Wang Xiucheng.
"Wait a few more days," Reba whispered, then turned and left the room.
“I’m here, baby sister.” Dilraba’s emotions had stabilized, and her voice had returned to normal.
"Why are you out here?" Yang Ying asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, we've come to the wrong place. This place is quite big; I can't even find our room," Dilraba said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I knew you had no sense of direction, that's why I made you wait outside the restroom. See, I was right." Yang Ying seemed to have taken Reba's hand and walked away into the distance.
After waiting a short while, Wang Xiucheng left the room.
Back in the restaurant's private room, the meal continued.
More than an hour later, the dinner ended.
Wang Xiucheng had Ma Wei and the other two drive everyone back again.
In the office, Wang Xiucheng sat alone, with seven or eight items in front of him.
Wang Xiucheng himself was somewhat surprised; did he really have a talent for stealing?
The miniature camera was on, and Wang Xiucheng was even giving a commentary.
"This lighter belongs to Brother Chao. I'll blur it out later. Kids, don't try this at home."
"This pen belongs to Fan Chengcheng. I didn't return it to him when I signed it for him."
"This hat belongs to Chen He. I said it was very nice, so he gave it to me. Does that count as me completing my task?"
There were a total of eight items. Wang Xiucheng himself did not expect that he would complete half of the task by simply treating someone to a meal.
Wang Xiucheng took the camera off his body, placed it on the table, and pointed it at his face. "A very good start. We'll continue the rest of the task tomorrow."
……
Evening of the 25th.
Barclays Center.
The league has scheduled a total of 5 games for Christmas Day this season.
One of the key games was the Nets' home game against the Nuggets.
The Nets have been promoting this game ever since the last one.
In fact, there's no need for any promotion. As the champions and runners-up of last season, the prestige of this match goes without saying.
Ten days ago, the Nets played a game against the Nuggets on the road.
At the time, the Nets were on a long road trip and the entire team was extremely tired.
Ultimately, the Nets lost to the Nuggets 101-124 on the road.
Although the entire Nets team, and even the fans, were not convinced, a loss is a loss.
This time, the home game against the Nuggets is an important Christmas Day game broadcast live across the entire Memphis, which naturally makes many fans extremely excited.
Amidst the festive Christmas atmosphere, the match started promptly at 8 p.m.
This is also the latest of the five Christmas games to start.
The reason is simple: to cater to the viewing habits of Chinese fans.
Otherwise, if the game is played at 1 or 2 a.m. in China time, even if it's the Nets, it will have a huge impact on the viewership ratings.
During warm-up, Jokic and Porter came over to hug Wang Xiucheng.
Jokic, in particular, patted Wang Xiucheng hard on the back.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably think that Jokic was "bullying" Wang Xiucheng.
But actually, it's the exact opposite.
During the World Cup, Serbian player Simanić was elbowed in the abdomen by Omote during a match and underwent surgery that night.
However, the Philippines cannot find Cimanich's "panda blood".
It seems that Jokic had "unintentionally" overheard Wang Xiucheng saying that the Chinese team had dispatched a medical ship with all blood types available to ensure the team's safety.
So Jokic found Wang Xiucheng and sent him the "panda blood" (Rh-negative blood).
Jokic later heard from the Serbian team doctor that if they couldn't find the rare blood type, Simanić might have to lose a kidney!
For a professional player, this is tantamount to announcing the end of his career.
Cimanic is only 25 years old, and he has a long career ahead of him.
Therefore, both Jokic and Cimanic are extremely grateful to Wang Xiucheng.
Jokic told Wang Xiucheng that Cimanic had recovered very well and was now no different from a normal person. If nothing unexpected happened, he could even go to Paris with Serbia to participate in the Olympics next year.
Of course, Serbia's roster for next year's Olympics will undergo significant changes, such as Jokic's return to the competition.
Therefore, whether Cimanic can represent Serbia in the Olympics depends solely on his ability, not his physical condition.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng's last three-pointer missed again, bouncing off the rim.
Then Wang Xiucheng returned to the bench without a care, shaking his head with some regret as he walked.
Seeing Wang Xiucheng like this, Ben Sullivan looked worried.
Almost half a season has passed, and he still can't understand why Wang Xiucheng's three-point shooting percentage is so low during warm-ups.
This season, during Wang Xiucheng's "Wang Time," his three-point shooting percentage has increased to 72% compared to last season.
However, according to his observation, Wang Xiucheng's three-point shooting percentage during warm-up was only around 30% at most.
Keep in mind this is just a warm-up; every time there's a wide-open space.
As a result, Wang Xiucheng just couldn't make the shot.
On the contrary, during the game, whether it was a super long three-pointer with the logo on it or a three-pointer with someone on top of him, he had a very high shooting percentage.
That's a bit too unscientific.
You're saying Wang Xiucheng did it on purpose?
It's probably not easy to miss every shot.
Claxton, who had the lowest three-point shooting percentage on the team, had a higher three-point shooting percentage than Wang Xiucheng during warm-ups.
Shaking his head, Ben Sullivan, carrying the biggest question of his life, also walked back to the bench.
Uduka said a few words briefly, then stretched out his hand and shouted in Chinese with everyone, "Let's get them!"
Wang Xiucheng, Durant, Westbrook, Towns, and Dillon walked onto the court.
With a whistle, the match officially began.
