Chapter 649 Wang Hedi in the Penguin Live Stream
I rested for two days at my home in Sugar City, spending quality time with Ma Xiaoxuan and the children.
Then Wang Xiucheng finally returned to New York and reported back to the team.
After several days of competition, teams are gradually winning their matches and advancing to the next round of the NBA playoffs.
What has left experts speechless is that this year's playoffs seem to have an excessively clear disparity between the strong and the weak.
The Nets swept the Cavaliers 4-0 to advance.
Then in the Western Conference, the top-ranked Thunder swept the Pelicans 4-0, advancing to the next round, just two days after the Nets advanced.
That wasn't the end of it. The Timberwolves, with players like Li Ke'er and Zeng Fanbo, also defeated the Phoenix Suns by a score of 4-0.
The series consisted of eight games, three of which ended in a 4-0 sweep, a rare occurrence in previous NBA playoffs.
Besides these three strong teams that advanced, the Celtics and Nuggets also quickly advanced with a score of 4-1.
Although there are still three games left in the series, the Nets' opponent has been determined: the Celtics.
The schedule for both teams has been officially released.
In the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Nets will face the Celtics. The first game will be played on May 5th at the Celtics' home court.
As the team with the best record this season, the Celtics achieved a record of 64 wins and 18 losses.
In the playoffs, we have home-court advantage against any team.
As last season's champions, the Nets are also considered a strong favorite to win this season's championship.
The two teams faced off four times in the regular season, each winning two games, all at home.
Therefore, no commentator dares to predict the outcome of this series.
However, the odds in Las Vegas slightly favor the Nets.
Even though the two teams have a 2-2 head-to-head record, the Celtics have an extra home-court advantage, and their regular season record is better, why do you favor the Nets?
Many people were puzzled, but many others took action.
Bruno Mars showed off his bets in Las Vegas the day before the game: $100 million bet on the Nets advancing.
As a friend of Wang Xiucheng and a front-row season ticket holder at the Barclays Center, the Nets' home arena, Bruno's stance is unquestionable.
Unexpectedly, following Bruno, another Nets die-hard fan, JAY-Z, also posted his bet: 200 million, also for the Nets to win.
In this atmosphere, the most eye-catching match of this series began.
It's just that the Nets may have rested too much. In the first game of the series, the Nets were out of sorts all night. Whether it was Wang Xiucheng, Durant, or Towns, they all made some mistakes that are not usually seen.
Wang Xiucheng almost passed the ball directly to White, breaking his streak of being dispossessed.
Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng managed to pass the ball out of bounds using the strength of his wrist.
This infuriated White, who kept biting his fingers in front of a camera, accusing Wang Xiucheng of being a sore loser.
Wang Xiucheng, however, didn't seem to care at all, and had a smile on his face.
Ultimately, the Nets lost to the Celtics 95-120 on the road.
After the game, the entire Nets team went straight back to the hotel, and then Udoka held a post-game debriefing meeting for the whole team.
Nobody knows what the meeting was about.
However, according to reports, the meeting lasted for two hours before it ended.
Two days later.
TD Garden, home of the Celtics.
"We welcome everyone to join us for the game at 7 a.m."
In the Penguin Live broadcast room, Wang Meng began to introduce his starting players for the day. Then, glancing at the time, he saw that there was still a little time left, so he looked at Wang Hedi, the commentator he had specially invited for the day.
What are Wang Hedi's thoughts on this game? Does the Nets have a chance to win?
"I firmly believe that the Nets will advance, so the Nets will definitely win an away game. I have a strong feeling that the Nets will win tonight." Wang Hedi made no secret of his stance: "I am a fan of Wang Xiucheng, and we will definitely win this game."
The jersey he's wearing today is a limited edition jersey released by the Nets during the Spring Festival, with Wang Xiucheng's Chinese name on the back.
"Wang Hedi participated in this year's All-Star Game. What do you think of the basketball culture in the United States?" Yang Yi asked from the side.
The main character in today's match is definitely Wang Xiucheng.
But the main character in the commentary room is Wang Hedi, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste to invite him here!
"Basketball is indeed very popular in the United States. You can often see basketball courts on their streets. There's a reason why their basketball is so good."
"Alright, we see the players have finished warming up, the game is about to begin. Today's program features a sports protective equipment brand..."
With the match about to begin, Wang Meng delivered a short advertisement.
Yang Yi has already adapted.
But Wang Hedi looked extremely embarrassed!
This is why he refused to come to commentate on matches despite being invited by the penguin many times.
That's so damn embarrassing!
I market myself as a healthy person, how could I possibly associate myself with a brand like that!
If it weren't for the high viewership of Wang Xiucheng's competition, he really wouldn't have wanted to come.
At TD Garden Stadium, both teams' players have now taken to the field.
Towns and Horford stood in the center circle, ready to contest for the ball.
Porzingis' injury has forced the soon-to-be 38-year-old Horford to play the power forward position again.
With a snap, Towns grabbed the basketball first, and the game officially began.
Wang Xiucheng didn't hold the ball; instead, he led Brown to the baseline corner.
As soon as the competition started, Wang Xiucheng adopted the strategy of crouching at the bottom corner.
Westbrook dribbled the ball past half-court and took a shot using Dillon's screen.
The ball missed, and the Celtics grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break, scoring the first two points.
It was expected that the Nets would catch up quickly, but unexpectedly, the Nets' shooting touch tonight seemed to continue from the last game, and they couldn't make any shots.
The Celtics started strong with a 9-2 run, thanks to fast breaks and decent shooting percentage.
The Nets scored only two points from Durant's two free throws.
Uduka thought for a moment, but still didn't call a timeout.
Wang Xiucheng remained in the corner, neither holding the ball nor calling out any tactics.
This shows that Wang Xiucheng is not in a hurry at all.
Uduka chose to believe Wang Xiucheng!
Sure enough, the Nets' defensive stalwart, Dillon, stepped up his defense, and the Celtics' shooting percentage began to drop.
After remaining invisible for a few minutes, Wang Xiucheng gradually began to receive the ball.
Wang Xiucheng was not holding the ball, but rather receiving it to transition the ball.
Sometimes, when Wang Xiucheng receives a pass, he passes it out again almost without pausing.
This passing style made it impossible for the Celtics' defenders to anticipate Wang Xiucheng's passing routes.
Swish!
After dodging Horford, Towns received a pass from Wang Xiucheng and immediately pulled up for a shot.
The ball nestled smoothly into the net.
With this three-pointer going in, the Nets tied the score at 24-24 with one minute left in the first quarter.
After trailing for 11 minutes, the Nets finally caught up when "King Time" arrived.
All the fans in TD Garden stood up, not daring to miss even a second.
Tatum took possession of the ball and, after pushing Dillon aside, moved into the attacking third.
With only 4 seconds left on the shot clock, Tatum created space using a screen from backup center Kornet.
Tatum then took his first three-pointer of the game.
His teammates had a good start to the night, so he didn't shoot any three-pointers.
I don't know if it was because of this that the ball felt a bit cold, but it slammed into the rim with a thud and bounced up.
Towns and Kornet both jumped up to grab the rebound.
However, both players used more of their energy on the physical confrontation, which resulted in them jumping a little too early.
Neither of them managed to get the ball.
Just then, a figure leaped high into the air and grabbed the basketball.
"It's Wang Xiucheng!"
