Chapter 227 The Chinese Youths' Gradually Consolidated Status
Johnny Depp had already extended his hand before he even arrived.
Although the captain, who was nearly 60, still had that unruly air about him, he still had a smile on his face.
Wang Xiucheng quickly extended his hand and shook hands with the other person.
Since the other party took the initiative to make goodwill, Wang Xiucheng naturally couldn't keep a gloomy face.
"Can I have your phone number? I need to ask you for a favor." Depp knew time was running out and there were so many people watching, so he spoke directly.
"of course."
Wang Xiucheng recited a string of numbers, exchanged a few pleasantries with Depp, and then went to find Zeng Fanbo.
Lily Rose Depp, hiding in the distance, watched her father make his move and seemed very happy, but her face was as red as a volcano about to erupt.
Wang Xiucheng brought Zeng Fanbo to the sidelines, where Meng Chao had been waiting for a long time.
"How are your eyes?" Meng Chao, holding the microphone, saw Wang Xiucheng's bloodshot eyes and became worried again, her eyes reddening once more.
Wang Xiucheng felt somewhat helpless; the saying that women are made of water seemed to be true.
Wang Xiucheng shook his head, "It's nothing, the team doctor said it will get better in a few days."
After calming himself down and hearing the prompt in his earpiece, Meng Chao asked, "First, let me ask Xiao Wang, fans all over the country are worried about your eyes. Can you tell me what happened?"
The camera turned, seemingly pointing at Wang Xiucheng's eyes.
"I just got hit, it's nothing. The team doctor said I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Wang Xiucheng said casually. "I felt I could play in the second half, but Nash wouldn't let me play, otherwise I wouldn't have only scored this many points."
Wang Xiucheng played for less than 20 minutes today, but scored 19 points and 9 assists efficiently.
Wang Xiucheng's joking reply put many fans at ease, especially his close friends.
Meng Chao didn't forget Zeng Fanbo this time either, "We're about to embark on an away game trip, especially with back-to-back games against the Clippers and Lakers. Are you two confident about these two games?"
Although Meng Chao asked "the two of you," Zeng Fanbo didn't think he could answer that question.
"Both teams are title contenders, and of course I hope to win both. But you know, there's still a gap between us and these teams. If we can win one game, I believe the fans will be very satisfied."
After Wang Xiucheng finished speaking, he looked at Zeng Fanbo next to him.
“Brother Wang is right,” Zeng Fanbo said into the microphone.
He was shy to begin with, and the question was a bit too big for him to answer, so he just said this.
Penguin Live Room.
Upon hearing Zeng Fanbo's final answer, Yang Yi and Wang Meng in the live stream both laughed.
Many domestic fans, and even some journalists and commentators, believe that Wang Xiucheng has been too lenient with Zeng Fanbo.
Just like a nanny.
Everyone was afraid that this would affect Wang Xiucheng's status with the Nets and make his teammates and even the coach unhappy.
But as it turned out, Wang Xiucheng's strength made these people swallow their dissatisfaction.
Among the young Chinese players competing in the NBA, Zeng Fanbo and Yu Jiahao have surprisingly secured the most stable positions.
Zeng Fanbo relied on Wang Xiucheng, but Yu Jiahao earned his success on his own.
Eubanks' injury prompted the Trail Blazers to recall Yu Jiahao from the Development League.
And in just one game, Yu Jiahao secured Nurkic's substitute position.
When Yu Jiahao called Wang Xiucheng, his exact words were, "Lillard said I don't need to go back to the Development League."
Wang Xiucheng specifically watched the highlights of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns that day.
那场比赛利拉德21投12中，三分球12中5，罚球12中12，砍下了41分。
In the game highlights, Lillard repeatedly used Yu Jiahao's screens to break through the paint and make shots.
When defending, Yu Jiahao indeed couldn't keep up with the opponent's agile center.
Therefore, when Yu Jiahao is on the court, the Trail Blazers use a zone defense.
You can't make every shot; if you miss, Yu Jiahao has almost certainly secured the rebound.
So Yu Jiahao scored 6 points from free throws in that game, but grabbed 12 rebounds, leaving Wang Xiucheng speechless.
Lillard's 41 points also marked the third player this season to score 40+ points, following Wang Xiucheng and Morant.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhenlin of the Rockets and Guo Haowen of the Nuggets have been playing in the Development League.
The difference is that Zhang Zhenlin often sits on the Rockets' bench, especially in home games, just like Wang Xiucheng did last year.
Guo Haowen has indeed been a permanent member of the Development Alliance.
……
After finishing the post-match interview, Wang Xiucheng was about to turn around and leave Mengchao.
A bottle of water was poured over Wang Xiucheng's head.
Wang Xiucheng was so provoked that he almost swore.
Wang Xiucheng looked back and saw Durant and Ben West hunching over, running towards the player tunnel with empty bottles in their hands.
He used his sleeve to wipe Mengchao's long hair that had been affected by the smear.
"Let's go out for dinner tomorrow."
While wiping her hair, Wang Xiucheng whispered something.
Meng Chao's already unstable heartbeat suddenly accelerated, pounding as if it were about to jump into his throat.
Feeling guilty, Meng Chao glanced around and, finding no one paying attention to them, even the cameraman was squatting on the ground packing up his things, blushed and whispered "Mmm".
Wang Xiucheng said goodbye to Meng Chao, greeted O'Neal and Barkley, and then returned to the locker room.
Durant went to the post-game press conference, while Ben West ran off without even taking a shower.
"These two guys."
Frustrated and furious, Wang Xiucheng took a quick shower, said goodbye to his teammates, and got into Ma Wei's car, which was waiting in the parking lot.
The journey, which should have taken only ten minutes, took another hour before everyone finally returned to the Four Seasons Hotel.
However, when they arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, Wang Xiucheng did not get out of the car.
The Four Seasons Hotel was crowded with people at that moment.
There were reporters carrying various equipment, and others looking around with their phones, who appeared to be fans.
Among them were many Chinese faces who appeared to be live-streaming.
Wang Xiucheng had no idea how many people were waiting for him inside.
Reporters are always waiting outside this hotel, since many celebrities stay here, and it's no secret that Scarlett Johansson lives here.
But this is the first time I've seen so many people waiting here today.
Ma Wei and his group also noticed this situation.
After parking the car a little further away, Ma Wei got out first and then entered the crowd.
A few minutes later, a dozen or so burly security guards from the hotel came out and formed a passageway.
Wu Di drove the car over, opened the door, and a person fully armed, wearing a hat and mask, got out.
Hotel security quickly surrounded the person and escorted them into the hotel.
Countless cell phones were pointed at this person, and some people were calling Wang Xiucheng's name in Mandarin.
But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.
"How did Wang Xiucheng get so tall?"
