Chapter 354 Curry: Believe it or not, I'll dunk on you!
It was a minor incident that did not affect the rest of the match.
With two minutes remaining in the first quarter, Durant and Ben West, the two starters, were finally substituted for a rest.
Wang Xiucheng has returned to the number one position.
Seth Curry will play shooting guard, and Zeng Fanbo will play power forward.
Wang Xiucheng held the ball, glancing at the score as he advanced.
The score is 28 to 28, still a tie.
After pressing down at the top of the arc for more than ten seconds, Wang Xiucheng glanced at Zeng Fanbo.
Zeng Fanbo, who had been keeping an eye on Wang Xiucheng, immediately ran over to provide cover for him.
Kuminga, who was responsible for defending Zeng Fanbo, followed closely behind and avoided Zeng Fanbo in advance, intending to double-team Wang Xiucheng with Curry.
But Zeng Fanbo suddenly pushed Kuminga like a spring, and he immediately bounced back.
This instantly put Zeng Fanbo at the three-point line, a full five meters away from Wang Xiucheng.
At that moment, Curry and Kuminga both pounced on Wang Xiucheng.
There was no one in front of Zeng Fanbo.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xiucheng jumped high and tossed the ball to Zeng Fanbo with one hand.
Zeng Fanbo bent down slightly to catch the ball, and without any adjustment, jumped up, using the momentum of his jump to push the basketball out.
The basketball spun as it flew toward the hoop!
Swish!
The ball goes in!
Zeng Fanbo entered the game for less than half a minute, and his first touch of the ball, his first shot, and his first three-pointer were all on the court.
Enter!
"what!"
Zeng Fanbo, who is usually reserved, unusually pounded his chest with his fist and shouted.
With this basket, the Nets took a 31-28 lead over the Warriors once again.
Durant stood up with the towel in his hand, waved it, and then reached out to give Zeng Fanbo a high-five as he ran back.
In Durant's opinion, Wang Xiucheng, a fellow villager, was not physically fit at all.
Although he was the same height as me, he wasn't fast, his wingspan wasn't outstanding, and he was even worse at physical confrontations.
Even if he's only mediocre in terms of individual performance, this guy deserves an extra "more".
Durant still remembers that two months ago, he was entrusted by Wang Xiucheng to train with Zeng Fanbo. After the training, the two of them weighed themselves.
At that time, Durant was 12 kilograms heavier than Zeng Fanbo.
Durant was stunned. How could this guy be so thin? He only weighs 95 kilograms and is 208 cm tall.
Claxton is already known as the team's skinnyest guy, but he is still 211 cm tall and weighs 98 kg.
Zeng Fanbo and Claxton were surprisingly similar in stature, almost like bamboo poles.
However, Zeng Fanbo's three-point shooting ability is enough to earn him a spot in the Nets' rotation.
Durant certainly knew he relied on Wang Xiucheng, but without that three-point shot, no matter how much Wang Xiucheng helped him, he wouldn't have been able to get playing time in such a tense game.
While Durant was lost in thought, the Warriors completed their attack.
After setting a screen, Draymond Green handed the ball to Curry hand-off.
But Curry's three-pointer from a step away missed.
The basketball bounced off the front edge of the rim and veered outwards.
This is a long backboard.
Everyone, including Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, ran towards the basketball.
This also includes Wang Xiucheng.
However, Wang Xiucheng's position was not very good, and Zhui Meng deliberately blocked Wang Xiucheng's way, pulling hard on Wang Xiucheng's arm.
Zeng Fanbo also lunged towards the basketball at this moment, and had the advantage in position.
Wang Xiucheng then slowed down, stopped, and retreated.
Just as Wang Xiucheng had predicted, Zeng Fanbo slapped the basketball away, and it ended up in Seth Curry's hands.
Just as Seth Curry was about to dribble the ball himself, he looked up and saw that Wang Xiucheng had already reached the center circle.
Without thinking, he threw the basketball towards the frontcourt.
Wang Xiucheng slowly retreated, then suddenly turned around and, like a supercar, suddenly started moving at full speed, chasing after the car ahead.
With a thud, the basketball hit the three-point line and bounced towards the basket.
At that moment, everyone stood up.
As everyone knows, it's time for Wang Xiucheng to dunk.
Wang Xiucheng rushed into the three-point line like a gust of wind, and then stepped onto the free throw line.
The net bounced up, and Wang Xiucheng caught the basketball with one hand, then flew towards the basket.
“gooooooooooooo…”
O'Neal stood there shouting without any regard for his image.
Stuart covered his mouth slightly, watching Wang Xiucheng fly in the air like an angel.
Even though Wang Xiucheng's parents, who had been sitting in the VIP box, knew that Wang Xiucheng had attracted everyone's attention, no matter how little they knew about football.
Ma Xiaoxuan stared intently at Wang Xiucheng, afraid of missing a single frame.
At this moment, all the fans stood up and turned their eyes to the young Chinese player who had already taken to the air!
The basketball in Wang Xiucheng's hand, which was in mid-air, was slowly moved from being dragged to being parallel to his head, and his palm turned half a circle, changing from dragging the basketball to grabbing it.
Then, at the moment Wang Xiucheng reached his highest point, he swung the basketball towards the basket with one hand!
With a loud bang, the basketball was swung into the hoop by Wang Xiucheng from above.
Without making any grabbing motion, Wang Xiucheng jumped down lightly and then took two steps to cushion the impact.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, interspersed with many shouts of Mandarin.
Curry watched from afar as Wang Xiucheng dunked with both power and grace, and curled his lip.
Standing to the side, Zhui Meng whispered, "How about I hug you and do a cross next time?"
"Do you believe I can dunk on you?" Curry glared at Draymond.
He immediately ducked his neck and went to the baseline to serve.
With the score at 33-28, the Nets have a 5-point lead.
And the timer officially entered the 1 minute countdown.
"Watch your defense!" Nash shouted from the sidelines.
Nash wasn't worried about his team's offense at all in the final minute of the game.
He was more concerned about the defensive issues.
With Durant and Ben West both resting, the current roster is actually quite weak defensively.
At this point, if you can defend against just one ball, you can maintain or even extend your advantage.
Curry, with the ball in hand, also noticed the time constraint.
So he slowed down the clock and, with 4 seconds left on the shot clock, took a three-pointer off a screen.
Bang!
The basketball hit the rim, but bounced and went into the net.
Three-pointer, in!
The point difference between the two sides has returned to 2 points.
There are 37 seconds left.
Instead of running back, Zhui Meng suddenly appeared in front of Wang Xiucheng, preventing him from receiving the ball.
In the final minute, the only way to prevent Wang Xiucheng from scoring is to keep him out of contact with the ball.
When Wang Xiucheng saw Zhui Meng approaching, he immediately turned and ran quickly towards the front of the field.
With a glare, he began to chase his dream relentlessly.
But Wang Xiucheng suddenly turned, creating space.
With one second remaining before the violation, Claxton passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng received the ball, turned on the spot, passed it, and advanced.
All in one go.
At this moment, Zhui Meng slowed down and arrived in front of Wang Xiucheng, blocking his way.
Zhui Meng knew very well that with 37 seconds left, Wang Xiucheng would definitely make a quick shot.
This conclusion was reached after he studied Wang Xiucheng's "time of the king" in at least 20 matches.
That was indeed Wang Xiucheng's plan.
He forced his way out to the right of the dream-chasing lane by relying on his speed.
At the same time, it allowed him to completely cross the center line.
This means that Wang Xiucheng has entered firing range.
Dream Chaser came chasing after us from the side.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xiucheng jumped up with the ball.
This time, I didn't use a single-shot attack.
Instead, they waited in the air for a while.
But this time, Zhui Meng didn't fall for it. After realizing that he couldn't block Wang Xiucheng's shot at all, Zhui Meng didn't even jump.
They didn't give Wang Xiucheng any chance to stage an accident.
Wang Xiucheng had no choice but to step on the logo and throw the ball.
Swish!
The basketball slammed into the net with an exaggerated arc.
Three-pointer, in!
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
