Chapter 303: With a 7-0 lead at the start, Mazura couldn't sit still any longer!
Because Jaylen Brown was constantly trying to block Wang Xiucheng, he couldn't jump with full force and could only choose to hit the backboard with a low hand.
But Wang Xiucheng somehow managed to break free from behind him and even jumped up.
With a thud, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back quickly.
Durant grabbed the rebound this time, paused for a moment, and then saw Wang Xiucheng accelerate and run towards the other side.
Durant flicked his wrist, sending the basketball flying towards the frontcourt.
Tatum reached out to intercept, but didn't even touch the basketball.
Wang Xiucheng took two big steps to cross the center line, then took two more steps and caught up with the basketball.
Having gained control of the basketball, Wang Xiucheng adjusted his direction slightly and charged towards the basket.
At this moment, everyone stood up, anticipating Wang Xiucheng's performance.
He instantly reached the free-throw line, then Wang Xiucheng jumped up with both legs, turned his body slightly to the side, and slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands.
At this moment, the scene seemed somewhat quiet.
Many people still had bewildered expressions on their faces.
It seems that this simple dunk shouldn't have appeared in Wang Xiucheng's performance.
Especially some fans who look very young are completely unaware of what's going on.
However, at this moment, both O'Neal and Barkley were shouting excitedly.
The Nets' bench players all stood up and applauded the dunk, which didn't seem that difficult.
4: 0.
The game continues.
White dribbled the ball up the court and managed to control the clock for a bit.
He feels a bit confused right now.
Just two minutes into the game, the Celtics' star duo, Tatum and Jaylen Brown, each got blocked.
And they were all built by that Chinese man.
This caught the Celtics players, including White, somewhat off guard.
Looking at Joe Harper in front of him, White recalled Jaylen Brown's words before the game.
"I'll defend against that Chinese guy."
Although he had heard a lot about this Chinese man from Smart, did this guy really warrant Jaylen Brown personally guarding him?
In hindsight, Smart and Jaylen Brown were both right.
If I were to face that Chinese person, I'm afraid I'd be in a very sorry state.
While White was thinking and watching his teammates' movements, he noticed Jaylen Brown running towards him.
So after passing the ball to Jaylen Brown, White stood still, trying to screen for Brown.
However, Brown did not use his screen; instead, he took two steps back to create distance between himself and Wang Xiucheng.
It seems he's about to break through.
Jaylen Brown changed direction after receiving the ball, using his footwork to push Wang Xiucheng to his side, and then dribbled the ball into the paint from the far end.
Horford brought Claxton out again.
This is a tactic often used by the Celtics: to pull the players out of the paint and create space for the two young stars to drive to the basket.
Wang Xiucheng, positioned on the side, kept increasing physical contact with Brown, trying to push him outwards.
Brown held the ball while also battling against Wang Xiucheng, not wanting to lose his position.
Soon the two players, shouting excitedly, reached the basket.
Just as Brown was about to give a final challenge before jumping.
Jaylen Brown suddenly realized that the force beside him had disappeared.
Wang Xiucheng removed the stools!
Jaylen Brown, who was putting in all his effort, couldn't help but lose his balance and tripped.
But he still threw the ball toward the basket.
He instinctively passed the ball, causing it to hit the rim, where Wang Xiucheng jumped up and caught it.
With both hands gripping the basketball, Wang Xiucheng had already spotted Durant in the corner before it even hit the ground.
So, as soon as he landed, Wang Xiucheng tried to throw the ball to Durant with one hand.
Just as Jaylen Brown regained his footing, he saw Wang Xiucheng rush out like an arrow while trying to pass the ball.
Without a second thought, Jaylen Brown grabbed Wang Xiucheng's arm, pulling him forward and spinning him around halfway.
beep!
The referee blew the whistle.
Jaylen Brown commits a foul.
Fortunately, this was the first foul, and there were no free throws.
Celtics head coach Mazzula sat in his chair, took a piece of paper out of his back pocket, unfolded it, glanced at it, then folded it back up and put it back in his pocket.
The paper contained several tactics he had devised himself.
The first rule is, "Don't let the Nets launch fast breaks."
The Nets have one of the best counter-attack efficiency in the league.
The reason is Wang Xiucheng's speed and his recent steal efficiency.
However, it now appears that the first requirement has not been met.
In addition to stealing the ball, Wang Xiucheng also blocked both of the two young stars' shots at the start of the game.
The Nets' welcome ceremony was quite something!
The game continues.
Claxton passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng hid behind Claxton, and when he reached the frontcourt, he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the inside.
Jaylen Brown immediately moved his feet, trying to block Wang Xiucheng.
But Wang Xiucheng suddenly slowed down and changed direction with a crossover dribble, entering the paint on the other side.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng jumped up as he entered the free throw line.
Jaylen Brown immediately jumped up behind him, his hand already outstretched, trying to block Wang Xiucheng's shot.
Horford, who was in front of him, jumped high at the first moment, trying to sandwich Jaylen Brown from both sides.
Wang Xiucheng was sandwiched between the two like a sandwich filling.
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng, who hadn't raised the basketball in his hand, threw it with one hand towards the outside.
Durant arrived just in time and caught the basketball with both hands.
Durant, who was only half a step ahead of Tatum, jumped up the moment he caught the ball and shot it.
Tatum, who was trying his best to interfere, could even feel the air being compressed and flowing between his fingers and the basketball!
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net rang out.
Tatum landed just as he turned around and saw the basketball hitting the floor and bouncing up.
7:0.
The Nets score another basket.
Mazura, who had been sitting still, rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.
Unable to sit still any longer, Mazura stood up and walked to the technical table.
The game has only been going on for a little over 3 minutes, and you're already calling a timeout?
hold on!
Mazura crossed her arms and glanced at Nash, who was also standing a few meters away from her at the scorer's table.
Mazura himself was temporarily promoted to head coach this season, and he naturally cherishes the opportunity given to him by the team.
Naturally, he also knew that his predecessor, Udoka, greatly admired Wang Xiucheng and had always wanted the Celtics to trade for him.
He even went so far as to slam his fist on the table with some members of the team over this.
The revelation of "the mistake every man makes" was not without reason, and Mazura knew this all too well.
Therefore, he knows who to cultivate good relationships with.
Mazura looked at Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum on the court, confident that the two could handle the situation.
