Chapter 335 "Wang Xiucheng, Wang Xiucheng, you're good at everything, from playing ball to
Wang Xiucheng had just returned to the field when the warm-up was already over.
Wang Xiucheng could only pretend that he had just finished warming up and returned to the bench to drink water and rest.
In the fans' stands, where Ma Xiaoxuan and Ma Wei were.
Ma Xiaoxuan watched as Wang Xiucheng lingered among a group of women, seemingly not even wanting to play ball anymore, and snorted coldly.
Ma Wei shook his head. "You look down on my brother Wang, but other women would love to devour him."
"When did I ever look down on him?"
She subconsciously retorted with a comment about her younger brother, but immediately realized it was inappropriate.
"You've got your eye on someone but aren't you going to make a move?" Ma Wei asked, somewhat puzzled. "You two are even sleeping in the same room, yet you treat each other with such politeness..."
"Shut up!" Ma Xiaoxuan yelled.
Ma Wei indeed stopped talking, but kept shaking his head. He took out his phone and found the information of the sisters who had been flirting with Wang Xiucheng earlier, then waved it in front of Ma Xiaoxuan intentionally or unintentionally.
A few minutes later, Ma Wei found another news article and handed it to his sister again.
Ma Xiaoxuan glanced at it, but the next moment, she took Ma Wei's phone and looked at it carefully.
This news comes from Forbes' 2022 list of "30 Under 30" Asian entertainment and sports elites, released on their official website a few days ago.
Five people from China were selected, all of whom are athletes, and Wang Xiucheng is one of them.
However, the other four are all athletes who have already achieved considerable success, such as Gu Ailing.
Only Wang Xiucheng remains a player with no achievements.
This is enough to demonstrate Wang Xiucheng's influence.
Ma Wei swiped his phone and the next screenshot appeared.
The above is a transcript of an interview with Gu Ailing after attending an event.
"I like someone like Wang Xiucheng, tall and handsome."
“I haven’t met him yet, nor have I ever watched him play in person. You know, all the events I participate in are in the winter, so I really don’t have the time.”
Ma Wei sidled up to him with a sly grin, "Brother Wang, how many women are eyeing you right now? You'll just have to keep waiting."
"Get lost." Ma Xiaoxuan cursed irritably and threw her phone at Ma Wei.
Ma Wei hurriedly caught the phone; thank goodness, it was a gift from Wang Xiucheng last year.
Although Wang Xiucheng gives him a considerable amount of money every month and secretly gives him some pocket money behind his older sister's back, it's really a waste to break this phone after only a year of use.
While Ma Wei and Ma Xiaoxuan were talking, the competition had already started a few minutes earlier.
The Nets, playing at home, fielded the same starting lineup as in the previous game.
The Bucks also fielded their strongest lineup available, except for the injured Middleton.
This match is also a test of the lineups for both teams.
Both teams are aiming for the championship.
And there is no doubt that the two teams will likely meet in the playoffs.
If problems are identified in today's game, targeted trades can be made before the trading deadline.
But if problems arise in the playoffs, there's absolutely nothing that can be done.
The Bucks' starting lineup consisted of their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, along with Grayson Allen, Brook Lopez, Vince Carter, and Jrue Holiday.
At the start, the two teams were evenly matched.
The close game meant that Nash didn't substitute Durant after 6 minutes as he usually does.
It was this change that allowed the Nets to gradually widen the score gap with the Bucks in the last 6 minutes of the first quarter.
With three seconds left in the first quarter, Wang Xiucheng hit a three-pointer at the buzzer and drew a wrist foul from Carter, giving the Nets a six-point lead at home.
Nash then took advantage of the dead ball situation to substitute Durant for a rest.
Durant plopped down on the bench and chugged down half a bottle of water.
A slightly tired Durant recalled the three games when Wang Xiucheng was absent, and how exhausted he had been.
Fortunately, they won those three matches and were able to wait safely for Wang Xiucheng to return.
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng scored the free throw.
The Bucks took a free throw from the baseline, and Giannis Antetokounmpo went coast-to-coast and hit a three-pointer from the center circle.
Unfortunately, it didn't go anywhere.
The first quarter ended with the Nets leading 36-29 at home.
Wang Xiucheng returned to the bench, sat next to Durant, and took a towel and a drink.
The specially made drink didn't taste good, but Wang Xiucheng still took a big gulp.
Then he took a few more breaths, and gradually calmed down.
Nash stood on the court, discussing with several assistant coaches.
Wang Xiucheng and Durant both played the entire first quarter.
What should we do at the start of the second quarter?
Durant definitely can't play right now. At his age, the risk of injury is too high when he's fatigued.
Nash was extremely careful in using Durant this season.
Even Durant's playing time in each game is less than Wang Xiucheng's.
This is what kept Durant healthy.
During Wang Xiucheng's suspension, when Durant was leading the team alone, Nash's biggest fear was that Durant would get injured.
Then we can only ask Wang Xiucheng to hold on for a few more minutes.
Nash wouldn't dare let Wang Xiucheng and Durant rest at the same time during regular time.
Besides these two, the Nets do not have a third player who can lead the team.
Nash went to the bench, shared his thoughts, and after seeing Wang Xiucheng nod, he arranged the players and tactics for the next round.
It's called tactics, but it really boils down to one sentence.
Pass the ball to Wang Xiucheng!
As the break ended, Wang Xiucheng brought Seth Curry, Zeng Fanbo, Daryl Sharp, and Thomas onto the court.
The Bucks also made roster rotations.
Perhaps due to the large number of substitutes, both teams slowed down their pace.
Both sides seem to be playing the odds, but neither side seems to have a very high success rate.
Even after the pause and the return of the full starting lineup, the situation didn't improve much.
In the final second quarter, both sides scored a relatively low number of points.
24:18.
24 points is indeed not a high score for the Nets right now.
It's worth noting that in the last game, the Nets scored 91 points in the first half.
But today, the Nets only scored 60 points!
Nash glanced up at the score, then shook his head.
Nash probably got too cocky, because he didn't even care about 60 points anymore.
Fortunately, the Bucks scored even less, only 47 points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, in particular, only managed 10 points under the relentless defense of Durant and Ben West.
Getting Giannis to score 10 points in the first half is already a great success.
As always, Wang Xiucheng sat on the bench for more than ten seconds. After most people entered the player tunnel, he got up and left the field under the escort of security personnel who were waiting for him.
Before entering the tunnel, Wang Xiucheng looked up and saw fans wearing jerseys with his cartoon image on both sides of the player tunnel, and then waved.
"Wang Xiucheng, Wang Xiucheng, you're good at everything, from playing ball to fighting!"
Wang Xiucheng was stunned, then blushed and quickly entered the player tunnel.
Who wrote this? It's so embarrassing!
