Chapter 90: 18 years and 342 days old, the youngest person to achieve 3 doubles record!
The second shot missed.
Fortunately, the basketball bounced back and landed right in Wang Xiucheng's hands.
Without pausing, Wang Xiucheng tossed the ball directly into the air.
Shen Jing slammed the ball down with a powerful dunk.
The Thunder trailed the Rockets 110-111, with the Rockets leading by one point in the final moments.
With 28 seconds left, Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander received the ball, checked the time, and took control of the tempo.
This shot clearly needs to be successful.
And we must compress the time as much as possible, leaving no more time for the rocket.
The Thunder have a great chance of winning, but only if they make that shot.
Time slowly passed, and when Alexander had compressed the time to only a few seconds, he suddenly used one arm to block Wang Xiucheng's side, accelerated past Wang Xiucheng, and broke into the penalty area.
Bang!
He took a long two-point shot, but unfortunately it didn't go in.
Shen Jing held Earl firmly in place, while Earl also held Shen Jing's waist, preventing him from jumping.
Shen Jing could only flick the ball to the outside.
The basketball flew towards Wang Xiucheng and Alexander.
The two jumped up almost simultaneously, reaching for the ball.
Alexander was taller than Wang Xiucheng and reached the ball before Wang Xiucheng.
But when Alexander tried to control the ball with both hands, he discovered that Wang Xiucheng was still rising.
No, it's not ascending, it's descending.
Oh, right, Wang Xiucheng's hang time!
Alexander suddenly remembered this, but it was too late.
Snapped!
Wang Xiucheng's hand directly brushed the basketball, sending it towards the backcourt.
Bang!
Alexander landed first, so naturally he was the first to hit the ground. His shoes made a sickening screech against the floor as he instantly chased after the basketball.
After landing, Wang Xiucheng touched the ground with one foot and, like a spring, was instantly launched forward.
After three steps, Wang Xiucheng was already parallel to Alexander.
With another step, Wang Xiucheng crossed the center line and was more than half a body length ahead of Alexander. He reached out and grabbed the ball, but his body was already out of control, and he flew towards the sideline.
But Wang Xiucheng had already raised his hands high and thrown the basketball toward the basket.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng fell onto someone outside the sideline.
Swish!
At the same time, a beautiful sound rang out!
The entire room suddenly fell into dead silence!
Several seconds later, gasps of surprise rang out, followed by a roar of cheers from the Rockets' bench.
The stadium only realized what was happening at that moment and then exploded.
Chinese fans wearing Wang Xiucheng jerseys jumped wildly, their Wang Xiucheng comic book copies practically flying through the air.
Meanwhile, many Thunder fans at the home arena held their heads in disbelief.
Is this a game-winning shot?
It's too early to say that.
But with only two seconds left, the Rockets were already leading 114-110 by 4 points.
The Thunder must score within those two seconds, then immediately foul, and pray that the Rockets miss the free throws, while the Thunder grab the rebound and score again.
That's too harsh!
Even Thunder fans themselves didn't believe they could pull off a comeback!
beep!
Mark Degno used his last timeout.
Shen Jing and his group pulled Wang Xiucheng up, and then gave him a hard chest bump.
Silas couldn't wait to grab the tactics board and started drawing symbols on it before Wang Xiucheng and the others returned.
"You take a break, then you go on stage."
Silas replaced Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng's defense is far inferior to his offensive playmaking ability, and now is the time to focus on defense, so Silas substituted Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng himself had no objection.
Basketball is becoming more and more like American football, and at times it has been divided into offensive and defensive teams.
Wang Xiucheng clearly belongs to the attacking group.
That three-pointer was activated by Wang Xiucheng's [Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card], which brought his score to 18 points.
On the far end, Mark Degno was gesturing wildly, seemingly devising some tactical plan. Compared to Silas, Mark Degno was younger and more passionate.
The referee checked the time and blew the whistle to end the timeout.
The Thunder inbound the ball from the center line.
The Rockets players closely guarded their assigned defenders, especially the fast Christopher, who was responsible for guarding Alexander.
Earl inbounded the ball, and Alexander used the screen to temporarily shake off Christopher by a body length, then took a step and pulled up for a jump shot.
Bang!
The basketball hit the rim, and Shen Jing jumped high to grab it, then tossed it high into the air again.
Before the basketball even hit the ground, the referee blew the final whistle to end the game.
The Rockets defeated the Thunder 114-110 on the road, achieving their fourth consecutive victory!
Mark Degno and Silas came to the technical table and shook hands amicably.
Both teams are tanking, so it doesn't really matter who wins or loses, but they still have to win to prove they're not the worst team.
The Rockets' bench, including Wang Xiucheng and others, all ran onto the court to celebrate with Shen Jingtai and others.
Four consecutive wins! Who the hell dared to dream of that before?
During their previous 15-game losing streak, some league commentators even said that the Rockets might lose 22 games in a row, matching the 22-game winning streak of the Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady era.
All Rockets fans have been holding their breath, and now they can finally let out their pent-up anger.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Alexander from Thunder.
Alexander, who was even thinner than Wang Xiucheng, stretched out his hand and then shrugged: "I tried my best to defend, but that three-pointer still went in. You were lucky."
"Thank you." Wang Xiucheng shook hands with Alexander.
Wang Xiucheng could tell that Alexander was unconvinced; he had scored 39 points in the game but still lost.
Alexander didn't say anything about what would happen if they met again later.
The two teams have already played all four games of the season, and it's clear that neither team is likely to make the playoffs, so they won't meet again until next season.
"By the way, congratulations," Alexander said, pointing to the ceiling.
On the large screen in the air, Wang Xiucheng's statistics for this match were displayed.
18 points, 15 assists, and 11 rebounds.
And a text was added next to it.
"At 18 years and 342 days old, he became the youngest player to record a triple-double in the NBA."
"Thanks, it was just good luck," Wang Xiucheng said again.
Alexander was so angry he wanted to punch this Chinese man a few times. How could he be so pretentious?
不过一想到自己还保持着21岁185天砍下20分20篮板10助攻的最年轻的20篮板三双记录保持着，亚历山大心情就好了不少。
Given Wang Xiucheng's height and wingspan, and his playmaking style, it's doubtful he'll ever be able to grab 20 rebounds in a single game.
Without wasting any more words with Wang Xiucheng, Alexander went to find other Rockets players.
Upon seeing Alexander leave, the Rockets' public relations staff immediately contacted Wang Xiucheng.
"Wang, are you going to attend the post-match press conference?" the PR person asked.
Clearly, this was Silas's way of having his PR team inquire with Wang Xiucheng.
Post-match press conferences are usually attended by the player who performed best in the game, or the team leader.
Wang Xiucheng is certainly not the team leader, but in terms of this competition, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the MVP of this competition.
Furthermore, he broke the league's record for the youngest player to achieve a triple-double, so he rightfully deserves to attend the post-match press conference.
However, Wang Xiucheng considered for a moment and pointed to a person in the distance who was shaking hands with others.
"It would be more appropriate for him to go today."
The PR representative recognized it as Tate.
Tate scored 32 points, along with 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 blocks today.
This performance is in no way inferior to a triple-double.
Moreover, Tate has a two-way contract, and attending the post-match press conference would be beneficial for his contract to be converted to a permanent one.
Penguin Live Room.
Yang Yi was shouting at the top of his lungs, completely disregarding his image.
"18 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, the youngest triple-double record. We gave the league an extra rebound, but even if you deduct it, we still have a triple-double. So tell me, who else can do that?"
