Chapter 675 The Mavericks are so far behind, Doncic, what are you getting so excited about!
Irving stood under the basket and saw Wang Xiucheng practically drooling; he knew he was doomed!
This guy must have been eyeing my jelly layup!
Sure enough, in the next round, Wang Xiucheng could have easily made a floater, but instead he forced a layup, then twisted the ball with one hand and sent it flying.
With a snap, the basketball was blocked by Doncic, who was following closely behind Wang Xiucheng.
Doncic shouted excitedly at Wang Xiucheng, seemingly venting his frustration from the game.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at him.
The Mavericks are so far behind, why are you getting so worked up?
If I had just turned on the TV, I would have thought you were ahead of the game!
Time is down to the last minute.
Towns takes the penalty kick from outside the box.
Wang Xiucheng shook off the double-team of Doncic and Irving, squeezed past Dillon, and received the ball.
Then, Wang Xiucheng suddenly jumped up and shot.
The basketball swished cleanly and neatly into the net.
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
The Nets' lead was now 13 points, 108-95.
There were only 46 seconds left.
After Doncic dribbled the ball past half-court and spent more than ten seconds without finding an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, he finally had to pass the ball to the inside.
However, Gafford missed the shot, and Dillon grabbed the rebound.
Just as Dillon was about to pass the ball, Irving grabbed it.
foul!
Time froze at 30 seconds.
Dillon tossed the basketball to the referee and patted Wang Xiucheng's hand.
Kidd still didn't give up.
With 30 seconds left and a 13-point lead, there's still a chance!
Swish!
Swish!
When Dillon made both free throws, Kidd called a timeout to arrange tactics.
However, when Gafford made a mistake on the inbound pass from the center line, and Wang Xiucheng intercepted the pass to Doncic, Westbrook picked up the ball and made a fast break layup and dunk, Kidd finally surrendered.
When the clock finally ticked down to zero, the score was 112-95, with the Nets defeating the Mavericks by 17 points in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The entire Barclays Center was filled with fans celebrating wildly.
Even they hadn't expected to win the first game so easily.
"What did I say? I said the Nets wouldn't give the Mavericks any chance, and look, they won..."
Before Shaquille O'Neal could finish speaking in the TNT commentary booth, his chair, which had held up for the entire game, finally collapsed under the weight!
O'Neal collapsed to the ground, grabbing at the table with his hands and pulling down all sorts of electrical wires.
Monitors, headphones, radios—all sorts of equipment were dumped on O'Neal.
Barkley was startled and instinctively stood up.
The next moment he burst into laughter, grabbed a bottle of water and poured it over O'Neal's head, shouting, "This water was given to me by my colleagues in the Chinese broadcast studio next door. They said it was endorsed by Wang Xiucheng. I didn't even want to drink it, and you've wasted it all..."
The broadcast booths of other countries nearby also burst into laughter when they saw O'Neal and Barkley, the two comedians.
The three people in the Penguin Live room also glanced at it, but were not significantly affected.
Wang Meng was still reporting the data.
“小王同学今晚出场33分钟，投篮16投10中，三分球9投6中，罚篮9罚6中，得到32分和9个助攻，还有3个抢断。”
"Due to the number of fouls committed by both sides, Xiao Wang didn't have many shot attempts tonight, but he still managed to score 32 points."
"In contrast, Doncic went 12-for-26 from the field, 4-for-12 from three-point range, and 2-for-5 from the free-throw line tonight, scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, but only had 1 assist."
"The Mavericks only had 9 assists throughout the game, the same as Wang Xiucheng."
"Given the gap in rim protection, it's not surprising that we lost this game."
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yi and asked, "Teacher Yang Yi, is there anything you would like to say?"
"Looking back at this match in hindsight, there is actually a gap in strength between the two sides."
Yang Yi looked at the notebook in front of him, which contained various data from tonight.
"The Mavericks were almost completely suppressed, both inside and outside."
"Doncic's 4-for-12 from three-point range is really low."
"Moreover, Irving only scored 12 points on 6-of-19 shooting tonight, clearly not providing enough support for Doncic."
"If Irving can't perform at an exceptional level, then the Mavericks' next games will be very difficult."
"The Nets have a very deep bench. Last year's champions Royce O'Neal and Joe Harris have barely gotten any playing time this season."
"The Mavericks need a third strong offensive option."
"This is the biggest problem facing Kidd."
Yang Yi spoke for a long time in one breath, just as Wang Xiucheng and Xiao Cui walked over.
And so the on-site interview began.
……
Wang Xiucheng returned to the villa at No. 12 York Street at midnight.
After the game against the Mavericks, the Nets team organized a dinner party.
Of course, the location was the cafeteria at the Barclays Center.
It was called a dinner party, but it was really just a post-match debriefing meeting; they just talked while eating.
The coach in charge of data analysis identified the shortcomings of this game.
Then, based on the shortcomings, Udoka summarized the areas that needed improvement for the next match.
Of course, the time for tomorrow's training session was also announced at the event.
Although Wang Xiucheng had wanted to leave for a long time, he patiently stayed with everyone until after 11 o'clock.
Wang Xiucheng would clearly prefer to go back and eat with his four little burdens rather than eat with these people.
It just can't happen tonight.
Sure enough, when Wang Xiucheng returned to the villa, all four little burdens were probably resting.
It seems Bruno will be taking them to some awards ceremony starting tomorrow, so they should be asleep by now.
After returning to his room and washing up, Wang Xiucheng lay on the bed, yawning and playing on his phone for a while. Once he was sure no one would come, he fell asleep.
The next morning, when Wang Xiucheng woke up, he felt someone beside him, and that someone was holding him.
Wang Xiucheng turned around; Jenny was fast asleep.
Wang Xiucheng laughed. He didn't even know someone had entered the room last night, which showed how tired he was from yesterday's game against the Mavericks.
Wang Xiucheng lay there, watching Jenny's eyelashes flutter.
"How long are you going to pretend to be asleep?" Wang Xiucheng asked softly.
Sure enough, Jenny opened her eyes, then buried her head back down, somewhat embarrassed.
"When did you arrive?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
"It's the middle of the night," Jenny said softly. "I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to talk to you, but you were sleeping like a log."
Wang Xiucheng chuckled.
Her room has a combination lock, and only Jenny knows the password; even Jisoo doesn't.
After all, if both people knew the password, things could easily go wrong.
"Now that you're awake, let's get down to business."
"what's up?"
"Hey hey hey..."
A ray of sunlight streamed into the room!
