Chapter 399 The Two Little Burdens That Were Pounced On
Uduka stood in front of the glass window and pointed to the data on the large screen in the dome.
"The Celtics shot 72% from the field in the first quarter, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, which is far beyond the normal level."
"However, the Nets' shooting percentage was very low in the first quarter. Both Wang Xiucheng and Durant had shooting percentages far below their usual levels."
"This is related to the fact that everyone needs to adapt to Westbrook's sudden addition to the team."
"But when Wang Xiucheng led the team alone in the second half, the shooting percentage did not recover, which means that everyone's shooting touch was just below normal."
"If that's the case, there's really no need to worry."
"Whether it's the Celtics or the Nets, they will eventually return to their normal shooting percentages."
"In addition, when both Westbrook and Wang Xiucheng are on the court, it is best for Wang Xiucheng to play point guard."
"Wang Xiucheng is more willing to pass, and his passing ability is clearly better than Westbrook's."
"Westbrook, as a disruptive force, can create space for Wang Xiucheng."
"Of course, occasionally letting Westbrook have the ball can also serve to disrupt the opponent's strategy."
The two stood by the window and talked for a long time, and they were still talking when the second quarter started.
In the second quarter, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who played the entire first quarter, rested.
Meanwhile, Durant and Westbrook have both returned to the Nets.
Moreover, Wang Xiucheng, who also played the entire first quarter, did not rest and continued to be on the court.
This made Celtics head coach Mazura's eyes twitch.
That's a bit...uncivilized!
Wang Xiucheng also wanted to rest.
But if we fall so far behind, any more rest and we're doomed.
With a whistle, the second quarter resumed.
Smart received the inbound pass from Grant Williams on the baseline and then moved to the frontcourt under Williams' screen.
Wang Xiucheng stood outside the three-point line waiting for him.
Seeing Wang Xiucheng slightly bent over, Smart didn't force a drive, but instead passed the ball to Ge Wei who had entered the paint.
Daron Sharp held off Gway, preventing him from turning around.
Speaking of physique, Daron Sharp, who is 206cm tall, is by no means lacking.
Gweil appeared to be standing still, but his feet were actually moving outwards little by little, so he had to pass the ball out again.
Snapped!
Just as the basketball bounced off the ground and was about to reach Smart's hands, a large hand slapped it down.
The basketball was bounced and rolled towards the sideline.
It was only then that Ge Wei realized it was Wang Xiucheng.
At that moment, Wang Xiucheng and Smart both lunged at the basketball.
But the next moment, Wang Xiucheng's eyes widened.
Because he spotted the spot where the two had lunged forward, and Jin Zhen was positioned just outside the sideline.
At this moment, Jin Zhen frantically stretched out his hand to block in front of his eyes, as if that would stop the two people.
Bruno, standing nearby, instinctively reached out to shield Jin Zhen.
But given his height, weight, and wingspan, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Wang Xiucheng gritted his teeth, then suddenly used his waist and hips to push Smart away.
Smart yelled and lunged to the side.
Wang Xiucheng, due to excessive force, inevitably veered towards the edge of the line.
Smart pounced on several Boston celebrities, knocking over all their drinks and beers.
Wang Xiucheng avoided Jin Zhen, but he couldn't avoid Park Young and Li who were standing nearby.
Park Young and Li were so frightened that they tried to dodge to either side, but it was too late.
Wang Xiucheng threw himself and the chair onto the ground.
Wang Xiucheng was already trying his best to support his body, but he still couldn't help but feel a little pressure.
Although Wang Xiucheng got up quickly, he still felt waves of warmth.
"Are you alright?" Wang Xiucheng asked with concern.
The two people sitting on the ground both shook their heads, but their faces had already turned red.
Wang Xiucheng's hand just now...
Seeing staff members coming over to tidy up, Wang Xiucheng quickly returned to the venue.
As he passed by Jin Zhen, Wang Xiucheng deliberately glared at her.
Jin Zhen stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to look at Wang Xiucheng.
She knew what Wang Xiucheng was worried about, but she just wanted to see him.
Who knew the sidelines would be so dangerous?
The Celtics players next to him helped Smart up as well.
They looked at Wang Xiucheng with gritted teeth, seemingly very angry.
But no one came over to argue with Wang Xiucheng.
The home fans at TD Garden Stadium booed Wang Xiucheng loudly.
They saw clearly that Wang Xiucheng deliberately bumped into Smart.
Moreover, Wang Xiucheng has a criminal record; Tatum missed several games because of Wang Xiucheng.
It was during that period that the Nets climbed to the top spot.
Wang Xiucheng ignored them and returned to the bench with Durant, Westbrook, and the others.
Kim Ji took out tissues and wiped the chairs for Park Young and Li.
"Are you all alright?" Jin Zhi asked with concern.
Both of them shook their heads and sat down.
However, both Park Young and Li were looking at Wang Xiucheng's position in the distance.
Wang Xiucheng could have pounced on somewhere else, but he pounced on them instead. Was he doing it on purpose?
The referee reviewed the video and made his ruling.
Wang Xiucheng committed a technical foul!
As if unaware of the situation, Wang Xiucheng stood up and returned to the field amidst applause and cheers from the fans.
After a brief interruption, the match resumed.
Celtics have the ball.
Smart used a screen to enter the paint and attempted a layup, but was blocked by Daryl Sharp.
Durant grabbed the ball and then looked up.
Wang Xiucheng and Westbrook have both started.
However, both players had defenders around them, so Durant dribbled the ball up the court himself.
Just past half-court, Durant passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng, who had turned around to receive it.
Wang Xiucheng received the ball and circled around Durant. Smart moved ahead of time, trying to block Wang Xiucheng on the other side.
However, Wang Xiucheng suddenly turned back and, with a step away from the three-point line, shot the basketball.
Swish!
The basketball swished cleanly into the net!
Smart missed his target, and by the time he tried to tackle Wang Xiucheng, the basketball had already gone in.
Clapping his hands in frustration, Smart turned around and went to the baseline to pass the ball to Gwyneth Paltrow.
This time, Smart carried the ball upfield and then passed it to Pritchard, who was in a better position.
The claim that he had a better position was simply because he was standing in the bottom corner, closer to the basket.
But Westbrook didn't care whether Pritchard was going to shoot or not, and jumped up directly.
Pritchard dribbles the ball and steps back to the side, avoiding the falling Westbrook, then crouches slightly, jumps, and shoots...
Snapped!
A powerful slap sent the basketball flying.
Pritchard's eyelids twitched violently!
Because it was Wang Xiucheng who blocked that shot.
And I've already made my move; the basketball has been flying for a while now.
But Wang Xiucheng still managed to swat the ball away.
In that instant, Pritchard seemed to see Superman wearing a basketball jersey flying in the sky!
That's fucking terrifying!
No wonder he's a monster who can dunk from 3.5 meters high!
After landing, Wang Xiucheng and Westbrook slapped each other's hands together with a loud thud.
It was precisely because he saw Wang Xiucheng running over to double-team Pritchard that Westbrook jumped up to block the shot without hesitation.
Mazura stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, biting her cheek.
The Nets seemed different from the first quarter.
