Chapter 677 Finals Game 5, the sidelines are full of current girlfriends!
Bang!
Wang Xiucheng slammed the basketball against the rim again, and it bounced out of bounds.
Ben Sullivan chased after the ball a few steps and caught it just before it hit the cameraman outside the baseline.
Just as he was about to throw the basketball to Wang Xiucheng again, some applause suddenly rang out in the arena, along with some exaggerated screams and whistles from male fans.
Ben Sullivan turned his head and saw three women appear on the sidelines, walking towards the three seats opposite the technical table that were said to have been sold as a package for 20.
But after seeing the faces of the three women clearly, Ben Sullivan paused for a moment.
As an American man, how could he not know these three women?
Kendall, Kelly, and Kim!
To Ben Sullivan's surprise, these three women were attending a game at the Barclays Center for the first time.
Sometimes Sullivan wonders how people who always aim to become NBA players could be so interested in Wang Xiucheng, such a huge cash cow!
It seems that Wang Xiucheng has indeed caught their attention.
And it wasn't just them; Ben Sullivan also looked at the other big stars in the other positions.
Taylor Swift and her boyfriend came today too.
Scarlett and her husband sat near the technical table.
Stewart, who had grown her hair blonde, was wearing earrings and makeup, sat with Robert Pattinson in a slightly corner spot.
Behind Bruno, in the second row inside the Nets' quarters, sat Jeanie's four little burdens.
Although Bruno's position cost money, the four less desirable positions did not.
They sat in the inner seats of the basketball court, which Wang Xiucheng had reserved for the four of them.
This made Ben Sullivan realize that there were still many women eyeing Wang Xiucheng.
As Ben Sullivan looked at these people, Wang Xiucheng also turned around and saw Kendall and his two companions.
Kendall and Kelly have already told Wang Xiucheng that they will come to New York to watch his game.
What could Wang Xiucheng do? He couldn't refuse.
Wang Xiucheng knew that both of them wanted to spend the championship celebration banquet with him tonight, but that was impossible; something bad would happen!
Sullivan clapped his hands, calling everyone back to the bench to begin final preparations.
Wang Xiucheng temporarily put aside this headache and went back to sit on the bench, taking a sip of his drink.
The lights gradually dimmed, and the ceremony for introducing the players from both sides was about to begin.
"Welcome everyone to join us this morning for the fifth game of this year's finals."
"This match is hosted by a sports protective equipment brand..."
In the Penguin Live room, Wang Meng took advantage of this time to broadcast advertisements verbally.
There were so many commercials tonight, he had to make the most of every second.
Just as the advertisements were finished, the players' entrance ceremony also came to an end, and the players from both sides had already entered the field.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be the last NBA game of the year."
Yang Yi then said, "This isn't my opinion; it's what the American sports commentators have been saying these past few days. I'm just repeating their opinions."
"The game has started, a jump ball, and the Mavericks have won the ball."
During the game, amidst the cheers of the standing fans, Mavericks center Gafford tapped the ball first.
Irving got there first, receiving the ball before Westbrook.
The Mavericks got the first offensive opportunity.
Irving dribbled the ball up the court, glanced at Doncic and Wang Xiucheng, and found that both of them were at the baseline. So Irving drove into the paint and scored the first point of the night with a floater while Towns was blocked.
In the next possession, Westbrook of the Nets passed the ball to Durant.
Durant's signature pull-up jumper missed, allowing the Mavericks to launch a fast break, with Irving scoring two more points.
The Mavericks started with a 4-0 run, prompting excited shouts from fans who had traveled to New York with the team.
It seems there's hope of bringing the game back to Dallas!
But the next moment, Towns brought Gafford out, and Westbrook broke into the paint and scored a layup, getting the Nets' first point of the night.
The Barclays home fans, who had been standing, also sat down at this point.
After several rounds of probing, the match gradually returned to normal.
The two teams traded leads until the first timeout, when they began rotating substitutes, and then problems arose.
The Mavericks' bench strength is still significantly weaker than the Nets'.
Lifeley, who replaced Gafford, faced Claxton on the Nets' side. The two players had some mirror images, making it difficult for either side to find a way to score.
Both of them could only attack from the sidelines and had almost no ability to launch their own attacks.
They rely entirely on the defenders to pass the ball.
However, Claxton, who is more experienced, has been working with Wang Xiucheng on this project for two whole years.
Although he's been playing as a substitute this season, his ability to finish plays has improved once again.
So, thanks to a few easy baskets in the paint, the Nets were leading by 5 points with one minute left in the first quarter.
Kyrie Irving got off to a good start for the Mavericks, but missed several shots in the following possessions, so he gradually reduced his shot attempts.
Doncic's several passes were not capitalized on by his teammates, allowing the Mavericks to score only 18 points in the first quarter.
But with only one minute left, the Mavericks were on high alert, determined not to let Wang Xiu receive the ball.
This was the Mavericks' strategy before the game.
Wang Xiucheng had just received the ball when he was grabbed by Mavericks' substitute Kleber.
The referee blew the whistle; a foul.
Wang Xiucheng threw the ball to the referee and walked towards the frontcourt.
"Wang's foul!"
O'Neal was shouting into the microphone from the commentary booth.
Shaquille O'Neal gave this foul that prevented Wang Xiu from having the ball a name: "Wang's Foul".
Although it sounded ambiguous, as if Wang Xiucheng had committed a foul, Barkley accepted it nonetheless.
Swish!
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made both free throws.
The Nets are now leading the Mavericks by 7 points, 25-18.
The Mavericks had possession of the ball. Doncic received the ball and advanced to half-court. After running down the clock by 18 seconds, Doncic used his rhythm and body to push past Wang Xiucheng.
After entering the paint, one arm was used to support Wang Xiucheng, preventing him from interfering with the basketball.
The next moment, Doncic jumped up and tossed the ball out with one hand.
At the same time, Doncic shouted at the referee, seemingly protesting Wang Xiucheng's foul.
The referee simply ignored it.
Not every protest by Doncic yields results.
Doncic himself knows that sometimes he is just putting pressure on the referees so that he has a greater chance of getting a call on the next offensive possession.
Bang!
The ball missed and hit the backboard.
Claxton and Lifeley both reached for the ball.
The result was that the two players interfered with each other, and the basketball was touched by both of them, flying towards the bottom corner.
Royce O'Neal picked up the rebound, turned around, and saw Wang Xiucheng shake off Doncic and charge forward.
Although Doncic grabbed one of his arms, Wang Xiucheng still rushed out.
So Reus O'Neal threw the ball away!
