Chapter 226 Wang Xiucheng: I Like You in Twilight
Bang!
The ball didn't go in.
But the referee's whistle blew.
Reddish committed a foul.
Reddish had no intention of arguing with the referee; he simply shook his head, expressing his disagreement with the ruling.
The referee kept his eyes on Reddish, even holding his whistle to his lips.
But Reddish didn't come over, and the referee, somewhat disappointed, put down his whistle.
Wang Xiucheng took two free throws.
Lucky you made both free throws.
The game continues.
The Knicks finally made a three-pointer this time.
However, after the ball possession was transferred, Wang Xiucheng was switched to defend Reddish again.
Reddish looked at Wang Xiucheng and told herself that she would never reach out again.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng moved without any feint.
Charge straight in!
Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball past Reddish and broke through.
Reddish didn't move, but was pushed back half a step by Wang Xiucheng.
It was this half-step that caused Wang Xiucheng's toe to kick Reddish's foot.
With a cry of "Ouch!", Wang Xiucheng lunged forward, but the basketball in his hand flew upwards.
The basketball hit the rim first, then remained on the rim for more than half a second before slowly falling into the basket.
Wang Xiucheng slid all the way to the edge of the court before clenching his fist and shouting, "Andone!"
The referee belatedly raised his fist, declaring the goal valid.
Then the whistle was blown.
Reddish commits a foul and receives an additional free throw.
Reddish immediately spread his hands innocently, bent over and put his knees on his hands in front of the referee who had called him, and said, "I didn't move, I really didn't move, he kicked my foot himself."
This time, the referee finally explained to Reddish, "You moved your foot, I saw it clearly."
After saying that, the referee made a ruling gesture towards the scorer's table.
Wang Xiucheng was helped up by Durant and the others.
Then he dusted off non-existent dust from his legs and stood at the free-throw line.
Christine Stewart's hand trembled slightly. When Wang Xiucheng exaggeratedly slid out of bounds, his punch hit her calf.
At that moment, Stewart felt something strange, a feeling that was hard to describe.
She had never met a man who could make her feel this way just by touching her...
This man is a bit strange!
Stuart coughed lightly to hide his slightly flushed cheeks.
She herself couldn't remember how long it had been, yet her face was still burning!
It seems the last time was during the filming of Twilight, when she shared a kiss with Robert Downey Jr.
Speaking of which, when I saw him a while ago, he seemed to have lost his good looks.
On the court, the New York Knicks had no chance to challenge the call; the decision was irreversible.
Reddish looked at his head coach Thibodeau with a wronged expression.
Thibodeau actually turned his head, as if to say, "Why did you provoke him?"
Thibodeau called up a substitute, replacing Reddish.
Reddish has already committed four fouls, and the first half is not over yet.
Wang Xiucheng was deliberately targeting Reddish, and the referee kept a close eye on him.
Thibodeau simply replaced him.
If there's another chance in the second half, then we'll bring Reddish on.
If the second half continues like this, then there's no need to bring Reddish on.
The fans at Barek Center once again booed Reddish.
Wang Xiucheng took the ball from the referee, twirled it in his hand, then brought it to his mouth, muttering, "Go Argentina!"
Swish!
Additional penalty.
Wang Xiucheng scored 3 points successfully.
The point difference had now reached 26 points.
With little time remaining in the first half, the two sides once again engaged in a back-and-forth battle around the 25-point mark.
The two sides traded blows, and the time quickly came to the last minute of the first half.
Thanks to Brunson's three-pointer and two free throws after drawing a foul, they have narrowed the gap to 20 points.
Bencić has the ball and slowly moves past midfield, stalling for time.
Randall tried to steal the ball several times, but Benci blocked it with his body each time.
Wang Xiucheng, Durant, and Seth Curry, who performed well in the second quarter, have all moved to the corner positions.
Claxton was also standing outside the baseline.
The entire first half was stretched out, with Benci facing Randall alone while keeping an eye on the time.
With 5 seconds left on the attack timer.
Durant, Wang Xiucheng, and Seth Curry all got moving.
Durant and Seth Curry ran to the top of the key, while Wang Xiucheng slid along the baseline to the other corner.
Claxton charged straight in from the baseline, blocking Brunson who was following Wang Xiucheng.
Benci passed the ball to Sesculli on the right, who immediately passed it to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng received the ball and immediately pulled up for a shot.
The basketball slipped from Wang Xiucheng's grasp the moment his feet left the ground.
Wang Xiucheng didn't look at the basketball; instead, he turned around and ran along the sideline towards the backcourt.
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net rang out.
Three-pointer scored!
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
Many stars and fans on the sidelines raised their hands in greeting.
Wang Xiucheng smiled and reached out, patting the various colored and sized hands on the assembly line.
Lily Rose Depp looked at her hand, which Wang Xiucheng had just patted, and said to her father in disbelief, "Dad, he gave me a high five."
Captain Depp simply nodded without responding.
The entire Knicks team seemed deflated at this point, except for Brunson, who was still like a spirited hunting dog. He dribbled the ball up the court, ran down the clock, and then charged into the paint alone.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiucheng interfered with the shot, and the net hit the backboard but didn't go in.
With 5 seconds left in the first half, there's enough time for one attack.
Durant grabbed the rebound, pushed the ball up the court, and hit a long two-pointer under the whistle.
The ball goes in!
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
At this point, the score was 69-44, with the Nets leading by 25 points.
Before the game, many people thought the Nets would win this New York derby, but few expected the score difference in the first half to be so large.
The players from both teams walked towards the locker room, and Durant was scheduled to be interviewed by TNT, the broadcasting company, at halftime.
Durant has already scored 18 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in the first half.
Next to the player tunnel, Meng Chao was standing anxiously. By the time Wang Xiucheng finally walked over, Meng Chao had already disregarded NBA rules.
How are your eyes?
Wang Xiucheng noticed that Meng Chao's eyes seemed slightly red, so he replied, "It's nothing."
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.
This reassured Meng Chao, as well as many Chinese fans who heard it on both sides of the tunnel.
Whether he wins or loses the game is not important; Wang Xiucheng's health is the most important thing.
During halftime, Wang Xiucheng underwent another comprehensive examination by the team doctor.
The conclusion remains the same: bloodshot eyes.
It's not a big problem, but if it hits the eye again, then it's hard to say.
Nash nodded with his arms crossed. "Wang, you don't need to play in the second half. We've got this game in the bag. Just cheer everyone on from the bench."
Durant patted Wang Xiucheng on the shoulder and said, "Trust me, brother. If we can't even beat the Knicks, what's the point of winning a championship?"
As soon as he said that, all the players in the locker room looked at Durant, and even Nash looked over.
This was the first time Durant had said he wanted to win a championship in front of everyone.
"Why are you looking at me?" Durant asked, puzzled, as he picked up a banana with a few spots and started eating it.
Claxton, Royce O'Neal, and even Seth Curry all picked up bananas and started eating them.
It seemed as if eating this banana would guarantee the championship.
The halftime break ended quickly.
When the players returned to the field, they found Wang Xiucheng sitting at the back of the bench wearing a jacket, not playing.
It seems that Wang Xiucheng clocked out and left work during both holidays.
Durant led the team single-handedly as they began the second half of the game against the Knicks.
Christine Stewart, who was sitting very close to the last seat on the bench where Wang Xiucheng was sitting, noticed that the people sitting between Wang Xiucheng and her had not yet returned.
After a moment's thought, Stuart turned to Wang Xiucheng and asked, "Are your eyes alright?"
She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just wanted to say something to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng looked over and saw Kristen Stewart with hair that was about the same length as his own and dyed white.
"It's nothing," Wang Xiucheng replied.
Stewart turned her gaze toward the court, but quickly turned it back. "My name is Christine Stewart."
“I know you, sister, Twilight.” Wang Xiucheng shrugged. “I really liked how you looked back then.”
Stuart's expression changed upon hearing this, especially the word "sister," which triggered something within her.
I liked how things were back then, which means I don't like how they are now.
Wang Xiucheng's words actually touched upon her beliefs, which has now crossed several red lines in the United States.
If someone with ulterior motives were to hear these words, it would inevitably have a negative impact on Wang Xiucheng.
Even if he is Chinese, he shouldn't say such things in the United States.
But Stewart's eyes were darting around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
The next moment, she took off her earring and put it in her bag.
He also took out a baseball cap and put it on his head, covering his short white hair.
Soon the people in the next seats returned, and when they saw Wang Xiucheng sitting next to them, they became quite excited.
Dylan Meyer quickly returned with two bottles of drinks. She was slightly surprised to see Stuart's appearance, but said nothing.
She knew that Stuart had changed!
She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
The reason I'm happy is because Stewart has come to understand himself.
She was sad because she was about to lose Stuart.
The game was effectively over when the third quarter ended.
Led by Durant in the third quarter, the Nets led the Knicks 92-71 by 21 points.
However, just to be on the safe side, Nash still sent Durant out to play for a few minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
When Thibodeau made the first substitution, Nash knew that the stubborn guy had finally surrendered.
Nash then replaced all the key players, including Durant.
Zeng Fanbo, Thomas, Mills and other substitutes came on to play during garbage time.
Stewart tried several times to speak to Wang Xiucheng, but was too embarrassed to go past the two local New York stars in the middle.
The two seats for Stewart were a gift from Chanel, the luxury brand she endorses; she hadn't actually planned to come at first.
She's not a basketball fan, not very interested in basketball, and knows very few NBA stars.
But the Chanel representative told her that the Nets are very famous now, especially in China.
Chanel needs her presence at the Barrec Centre, as it is crucial for Chanel's business in China.
Stuart had no idea whether his presence had anything to do with China.
But she came anyway.
This is a sign of respect for Chanel.
Or perhaps it's a sign of respect for the late Empress Dowager Cixi.
When I was in my most difficult time, it was the Empress Dowager who reached out a hand and prevented me from falling further.
Now she knows what that sentence means.
The Nets have a Chinese player, and judging from the fans at the stadium, this Chinese player is indeed very influential in China.
However, Stuart found himself somewhat lost!
She needs to re-examine herself.
What do I really want?
Am I truly myself now?
Just as Stewart was lost in a jumble of thoughts.
The competition gradually came to an end.
The Nets, playing at home, won the first New York derby of the season 112-85.
After the game, the Knicks players didn't linger for a second; they left the court almost immediately and went into the player tunnel.
The Barrek Center was filled with joy.
TNT interviewed Durant again after the game.
"Whenever I'm wearing a Nets jersey, I give every Knicks fan a shout-out..."
Durant gave the camera a thumbs-down.
Not only for Durant, but even for ordinary fans, a 27-point blowout is enough to give Brooklyn fans a good night's sleep.
However, for professional reporters and commentators, this match was far more complex than the score indicated.
Before the game ended, O'Neal and Barkley were already talking about how this was the Nets' third win in their last four games.
"The Nets beat the Wizards 128-86, the Hornets 98-94, and the Mavericks 94-96. The game isn't over yet, but it looks like the Knicks are unlikely to score more than 100 points."
"In these four games, the Nets have limited their opponents to under 100 points in all of them, which is the longest streak for the team since the 2014-15 season."
O'Neal shook his head and said, "While the Nets are showcasing their powerful offense this season, they also seem to have made significant progress on the defensive end."
It seems that the Nets have become a championship favorite after just a few games.
Although the Nets have been a favorite for the past few seasons.
Wang Xiucheng stood up and first hugged Durant and others on the bench.
Wang Xiucheng was about to enter the venue to high-five Zeng and the others.
"Wang!"
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.
The person who gets onto the field at this moment and comes up behind you is definitely not an ordinary fan.
He turned around and saw Johnny Depp wearing yellow-tinted glasses.
