Chapter 622: The Record Is Approaching!
At this moment, James and Wang Xiucheng had already been pulled up by others on the field.
Bronny stood and applauded Wang Xiucheng and James, shouting without restraint, "Wang, you're amazing! Beat this old man and show him that the league belongs to the young!"
Wang Xiucheng smiled, glanced at Brownie, took two steps over, and gave Brownie a high five.
James looked at his son and felt an urge to kick him.
"He's my own flesh and blood, I guess I'll just have to put up with it." James told himself this as he went to the center circle and stood there, waiting for Wang Xiucheng to take the free throw.
Seeing Wang Xiucheng and Brownie high-five, several Hollywood actresses nearby also reached out their hands.
Wang Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, but could only give them a high five as well.
Ignoring the somewhat excited female celebrities, Wang Xiucheng went to the free-throw line, straightened his jersey, and then took the ball from the referee.
I turned around, patted it, and then turned around again.
Swish!
The free throw went in.
Four points awarded!
With those four points, plus a free throw earlier, Wang Xiucheng has scored 5 points in one possession after Udokah called a timeout.
68:57.
James gestured to Reeves, who had received the inbound pass from the baseline, indicating that he was aiming for a higher success rate.
Of course, there was also the intention of having Reeves put some pressure on the timing.
Wang Xiucheng has already scored 5 points, with 39 seconds remaining.
Reeves nodded almost imperceptibly.
After taking the free throw, Wang Xiucheng backed away while glancing at Brownie, who was still rambling on the sidelines.
Just then, as Reeves and James exchanged glances, Wang Xiucheng suddenly stopped his backward leg and then jumped forward without warning...
Reeves is in the middle position, not yet in the center circle.
Wang Xiucheng was on the sideline, and his jump was nearly two meters long.
Almost instantly, Wang Xiucheng was only two meters away from Reeves.
Reeves had just exchanged glances with James and had no idea that Wang Xiucheng would pull such a stunt.
Reeves instinctively pulled the ball to the other side, away from Wang Xiucheng's direction.
However, he still underestimated Wang Xiucheng's mobility.
After Wang Xiucheng landed, he followed up with a standard large step by a fencer.
In an instant, Wang Xiucheng was in front of Reeves.
With a snap, Wang Xiucheng's hand slapped the basketball that Reeves had just moved to the center.
In an instant, Reeves lost control of the basketball.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng took a big step and controlled the basketball.
A commotion erupted in the arena. The fans, still reeling from Wang Xiucheng's consecutive 5-point plays, suddenly realized that Wang Xiucheng had actually blocked Reeves' shot!
Reeves didn't have time to think about anything else at that moment and instinctively reached out to hug Wang Xiucheng.
He can't let Wang Xiucheng shoot!
This position is too close to the three-point line.
And apart from himself and Davis, who had just taken a free throw behind him, everyone else was on the other half of the court.
However, when Reeves tried to hug him, Wang Xiucheng did not back down at all; in fact, he even bumped into him.
Then everyone saw Wang Xiucheng's shoulder collide with Reeves's, and in the instant he was bounced back, Wang Xiucheng threw the basketball out of his hand.
beep!
The referee, who had been standing on the sidelines, immediately blew his whistle, then held up three fingers and began to follow the trajectory of the basketball with his eyes.
Swish!
The basketball swished perfectly into the net!
With a whistle, the referee blew his whistle again, then turned around and made his ruling facing the scorer's table.
Wang Xiucheng's three-pointer was valid, Reeves committed a foul, and Wang Xiucheng needs to make one free throw.
Staples Center fell into a terrible silence once again!
Many fans held their heads in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes.
Wang Xiucheng made another three-pointer!
68:60.
So Wang Xiucheng has already scored 8 points in "Wang's Time"!
If he makes the free throw, that's 9 points!
This……
Does this mean no one else can play?
The celebrities who had been standing in the front row were all utterly shocked.
No wonder Hollywood stars are all willing to come to watch the game live, it's just... so damn awesome!
Shohei Ohtani took the initiative to applaud this time, his eyes now filled with surprise.
Nine points in one minute, that's fucking terrifying!
He didn't know what baseball game to compare this scoring ability to.
But he felt that two home runs in one inning was not enough to compare with this situation.
Shohei Ohtani thought that if he had that kind of ability in baseball, he would dare to ask the Los Angeles Dodgers for 200 million yen a year!
After a period of silence, the entire Staples Center suddenly erupted in cheers.
"MVP!"
I don't know who shouted it first, but then more and more Lakers fans, who are usually extremely picky, started shouting it too.
Reeves rubbed his shoulder and stood there watching Wang Xiucheng step up to the free-throw line as if nothing had happened.
He couldn't believe that his shoulder hurt so much, yet Wang Xiucheng was completely fine!
But that's really how things are right now.
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng was punished and advanced.
Another four points achieved!
68:61.
Wang Xiucheng has scored 9 points in a row!
With these 9 points, the Nets have narrowed the gap to 61-68, trailing by only 7 points.
At this point, there are still 33 seconds left.
Wang Xiucheng just stole the ball from Reeves and made that three-pointer in just 6 seconds.
As the free throw went in, Ham called a timeout with a grim expression.
This is fucking surreal!
With 33 seconds left, Wang Xiucheng already has 9 points!
How many points is Wang Xiucheng going to get before the end of the calculation?
Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the Staples Center's dome screen.
"From 43 seconds to 33 seconds, Wang Xiucheng has scored 9 points in a row!"
Furthermore, during the pause, the big screen played a highlight reel of McGrady's 35-second, 13-point performance.
It seems that the director of Staples Center believes that Wang Xiucheng has a chance to break this record!
The fans in the stadium, especially the Chinese fans, knew all too well what McGrady's record meant!
At this moment, all the Chinese fans were jumping and shouting, and bursts of Chinese were coming out of their mouths.
The big screen also turned the camera on these somewhat excited fans at appropriate times.
These fans, who are usually quite low-key in China, are now showing off their hoodies with Wang Xiucheng's image printed on them.
The pause ended quickly.
I don't know what Ham said, but this time the Lakers' offense was led by James.
Compared to Reeves, James is physically stronger. Wang Xiucheng tried to make a shot, but James completely blocked it with his body.
Finally, after running down the clock to 20 seconds, James forced himself to shoot a three-pointer without creating any space, but the shot missed and hit the rim.
Towns gritted his teeth and held off Davis, leaving him no strength to jump and grab the rebound.
Dillon snatched the basketball and then tossed it forward.
Wang Xiucheng had already started it.
Reeves and Russell, as always, were going to gang up on Wang Xiucheng.
However, Wang Xiucheng's left and right shoulders made a series of impacts, creating some space for himself. Then, Wang Xiucheng jumped up and intercepted the basketball with one hand.
Russell seized the opportunity this time, seeing that Wang Xiucheng had already touched the ball, and just as he regained his balance, he grabbed Wang Xiucheng's arm.
Russell then used a bit of force, and only after seeing the basketball slip from Wang Xiucheng's hand did he quickly let go and lift it up.
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle.
Russell committed a foul, and Wang Xiucheng got two free throws.
At this point, after James wasted 20 seconds and Dillon wasted a little more, there were less than 11 seconds left.
Udoka stepped onto the pitch and called a timeout.
With 11 seconds left, the Nets had so much they could do!
