Chapter 317 Curry: You need a dreamer!
Wang Xiucheng was very happy, partly because he had a great time playing ball and fighting today.
Just like Chairman Yao said, winning a fight and winning the game is the most satisfying thing.
Secondly, it's almost holiday time!
He is now extremely eager for the league to tell him immediately how many days he can rest so he can make arrangements for his vacation.
Wang Xiucheng then pointed to Meng Chao's location and said with a smile in Mandarin, "This beautiful lady, is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Meng Chao was initially somewhat resentful that Wang Xiucheng hadn't let her ask the question first, but instead chose Zhang Manyuan.
But upon hearing Wang Xiucheng's words, all resentment vanished.
Meng Chao felt that she was being petty. Given her relationship with Wang Xiucheng, how could she be jealous of an outsider?
Meng Chao blushed slightly and took the microphone: "When Tatum was interviewed before, he said, 'You're not a professional player. Professional players wouldn't make that kind of move.'"
Wang Xiucheng continued smiling, saying nonchalantly, "I won."
Tatum said Wang Xiucheng wasn't a professional player, but Wang Xiucheng won.
If you can't even beat non-professional players, then what kind of player are you?
Wang Xiucheng's simple answer lowered Tatum's level.
The local New York reporters at the scene laughed again after hearing the translation, while their hands quickly scribbled notes in their notebooks.
After casually answering a few more questions, Wang Xiucheng stood up and left the press conference.
Nash looked at the twenty-odd reporters below with a bewildered expression.
Wait, aren't you going to ask me a question?
Ask at least one person!
Aren't you even going to look at me?
I've been sitting here for over ten minutes now.
Nash reluctantly got up and followed Wang Xiucheng away, thinking to himself, "Next time, I'll bring Durant."
At least I'm evenly matched with Durant.
If you come with Wang Xiucheng, there's absolutely no chance.
Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng still had some conscience. He waited for Nash ahead and then let Nash go first, while Wang Xiucheng lagged behind by half a step.
This made Nash feel a little better.
Of course, he didn't know that Wang Xiucheng was behind him, looking down at today's task settlement.
[Mission 1 completed, 6 steals achieved, 1200 system points awarded.]
[Task 2 completed, 8 dunks total, 1600 system points awarded.]
[Task 3 completed, competition won, all rewards doubled.]
[Final settlement: 5600 system points.]
Upon seeing the reward points, Wang Xiucheng couldn't help but laugh.
A single match can earn you over 5000 points, well...
Cool!
It was fortunate that I remained rational despite being constantly provoked, otherwise this fight would have broken out long ago.
But if you get sent off early, you'll likely lose the game.
Then your own system points won't be that high.
……
With the Nets defeating the Celtics 123-119 at home, the Nets have achieved their seventh consecutive victory.
Meanwhile, more news broke out.
First, local Boston media reported that Jackson had lost two teeth and suffered a dislocated jaw, with initial examinations indicating he would be sidelined for at least three weeks.
In addition to swelling and pain in his forehead, Tatum also suffered a concussion. He will undergo further examination in three days and is expected to be unable to touch a ball for a week.
Shams then revealed on his Twitter that Jackson, who was on a two-way contract, was about to be waived, and the Celtics couldn't wait that long for him.
Even in the best-case scenario, Tatum needs a week of rest.
This means Tatum will miss at least three games.
On the Nets' side, both Shams and Woj predict that Wang Xiucheng will be suspended for 5 games.
This is a guess based on similar situations in the past.
After all, Wang Xiucheng took down two people by himself, which was a bad behavior. Considering previous rulings, five games is a fairly appropriate punishment.
However, this was Wang Xiucheng's first offense, and he was sent off for the first time.
Shans and Woj both believe this is a situation the alliance should consider at its discretion.
But it was this first time that made Wang Xiucheng's name instantly resound throughout the league.
James stated directly on his personal social media, "I am extremely opposed to this kind of thing, but I have said before that Wang Xiucheng knows kung fu, now you believe me, right?"
This made James even more convinced of the secret manual he had.
So in the middle of the night, James dragged his two sons out of bed to practice Baduanjin (a form of traditional Chinese exercise).
Interestingly, a total of 7 players were ejected in the Nets vs. Celtics game.
This record is actually ranked third in the league.
Second only to the 2006 Nuggets' away game against the Knicks, when 10 players were ejected.
There was also the infamous Auburn Hills Palace incident, in which nine players were sent off.
……
After saying goodbye to Nash and the coaching staff, Wang Xiucheng left the arena and boarded the white Ketti that was waiting outside.
"Going home, brother?" Ma Wei opened the car door and asked after Wang Xiucheng got in.
"Go to Blue Sky Company."
"Okay, bro." Ma Wei said excitedly.
Blue Sky Company is a business jet leasing company.
Jenna was getting busier and busier, and before Wang Xiucheng went to Las Vegas to harvest his harvest, he considered renting a plane for a few days.
However, after asking about the price, Wang Xiucheng refused.
Take the Gulfstream 650, which Wang Xiucheng really likes, as an example. The daily rental fee is tens of thousands of yuan, and that's before it even flies.
The cost of fuel for flying and airport rental fees for parking are separate expenses.
But now, Wang Xiucheng feels that with his net worth, renting a plane for a few days isn't excessive.
Wu Di drove the car onto the highway. Wang Xiucheng leaned comfortably against the sofa seat when his phone suddenly rang.
Wang Xiucheng initially thought it was his older sister who cared about him, or someone else coming to offer their condolences.
When I checked the caller ID, it turned out to be Curry.
It wasn't his teammate Seth Curry, it was his older brother.
"Hey Stephen," Wang Xiucheng said, answering the phone.
"Hey King, you're such a good fighter." Curry seemed to have just finished a game as well, and there was some noise around him.
“You know I’m not a person who likes to fight,” Wang Xiucheng shrugged and explained.
In his more than one-year professional career, this was Wang Xiucheng's first fight and his first time being sent off.
“Of course.” Curry seemed to smile. “King, do you remember what I told you?”
"What did you say?" Wang Xiucheng asked, puzzled.
"I told you, you need a dream to pursue." Curry's voice was calm, but it clearly reached Wang Xiucheng's ears.
Wang Xiucheng remembered.
Last year, when he was still with the Rockets, he played against the Warriors, and Curry did say that afterwards.
Curry's voice continued, "If I were in your situation today, Draymond would have rushed out long ago. Why would I let someone get close and use underhanded tactics?"
"You should focus all your energy on the game, not on these things."
"So, you need a dream to chase," Curry repeated.
Wang Xiucheng smiled first, then asked incredulously, "You mean you're willing to come to Brooklyn to pursue your dreams?"
Curry on the other side was clearly stunned for a moment, then seemed a little angry and shouted, "Goodbye!"
