Chapter 583 Holliday: "You really think you're Wang Xiucheng?"
"Defense!" Wang Xiucheng shouted.
These substitutes don't get many opportunities normally, and the problem is that once they're on the field, whoever gets the ball gets to play, and it's all about playing one-on-one.
Fortunately, with Wang Xiucheng in charge, these people didn't dare to act recklessly.
The Celtics had possession of the ball, and Tatum attacked the paint, finally slamming it home with a dunk, which allowed him to let loose with a loud shout.
This match was incredibly frustrating for him.
In terms of statistics, Tatum has already scored 26 points.
Their three-point shooting percentage is also quite good.
But in the actual game, the Celtics were consistently behind.
This feeling is so fucking awful.
Especially now that Wang Xiucheng is on the field with four rookies he doesn't even recognize, it makes him feel even more like he has a bone stuck in his throat!
How could he not know that Wang Xiucheng was using them to train these rookies, especially that young Chinese brother of Wang Xiucheng with a youthful face!
Wang Xiucheng did the same thing last year; that Chinese guy, who's even taller than Tatum, has already gone to the Timberwolves this season.
This year, Wang Xiucheng resorted to his old tricks again, no longer bothering to pretend, and selected a younger brother from his own country at the talent show.
You have to be used as a leveling-up tool for others, how can you not be depressed!
However, before he could finish shouting, the young-looking Chinese man, whose name he didn't even know, picked up the basketball and threw it out from outside the baseline.
Tatum instinctively turned his head to look in the direction of the basketball.
Wang Xiucheng had already run to the center circle, with only Huo Ledi following him.
Holiday's height and wingspan are still quite different from Wang Xiucheng's, so Wang Xiucheng easily jumped up and caught the ball.
Holliday reached out and braced himself against Wang Xiucheng to prevent him from breaking through.
Wang Xiucheng rarely plays with his back to goal, using his body to hold off Holiday and advance the ball forward.
This slight delay allowed all the Celtics players to return, including Tatum, whose spellcasting had been interrupted.
Wang Xiucheng had already arched his back to the top of the arc.
Choi Young-seok, who had been serving from the baseline, finally ran over at this moment.
Choi Young-seok stood next to Wang Xiu-cheng and built a wall for him that wasn't quite up to par.
Wang Xiucheng bypassed Cui Yongxi and switched to guard Jaylen Brown.
Wang Xiucheng immediately changed his previous somewhat slow movements, and dribbled past his opponent with a smooth and effortless motion.
When Wang Xiucheng faced the basket again, Jaylen Brown had already been left behind.
Jaylen Brown bypassed Wang Xiucheng, intending to defend him from the front.
Then Wang Xiucheng pressed down heavily with the hand holding the ball.
With a thud, the basketball bounced off the ground and was passed out.
The target is Choi Young-seok behind him!
In front of Choi Young-seok was Holiday.
However, Holiday didn't see the ball, and by the time he noticed it, it was too late.
The basketball was caught by Choi Young-seok with both hands.
Facing Holiday, who is only 193cm tall, Choi Young-seok took the shot as soon as he put the ball in his mouth.
Holiday's eyes narrowed slightly!
The next moment, Holiday jumped up.
I'm a player who has won a championship, and not just anyone can shoot me in the face!
Do you really think you're Wang Xiucheng, a Chinese person?
Despite being only 193cm tall with a wingspan of just 2 meters, Holiday is still very confident in his jumping ability, though of course, he can't compare himself to Wang Xiucheng.
At least Holiday believed that he was no worse than the Chinese man in front of him whose name he didn't even know.
Holiday then soared high into the air, his arm reaching out to block the basketball.
However, the scene he had been expecting—the basketball being swatted away by his own hand—did not occur.
Holiday, in mid-air, actually saw this Chinese man make a shooting motion after receiving the ball, and then take a step to the side after dropping the ball.
Then, this Chinese man combined the balls again.
This time he really jumped, and at the highest point of his jump, the basketball spun and flew out.
Holiday landed just as the basketball was launched.
He immediately turned around and looked at the basketball hoop behind him.
The basketball that was in sight fell right into the net!
With a whoosh, he finally heard the beautiful sound of the net and basketball rubbing together.
Instantly, the Barclays Center erupted in cheers again, especially among people of Chinese descent, who all began chanting Choi Young-seok's name.
Many foreigners gradually started to shout it too, although not in perfect pronunciation.
Choi Young-seok wasn't particularly excited at the moment.
He simply held up three fingers and waved them in front of his chest, then turned those three fingers into a palm, which landed squarely on Wang Xiucheng's palm.
A soft snap seemed to echo throughout the entire venue!
"Cui made his first shot in the NBA, and it was a three-pointer!"
In the Penguin Live broadcast room, Yang Yi shouted loudly again.
I thought Choi Young-seok was just going to experience the NBA atmosphere in this game, but I didn't expect Wang Xiucheng to actually pass the ball!
To my surprise, Choi Young-seok actually got in!
Wang Meng suddenly said, "Actually, many fans think that the Nets have the most Chinese players, but that's not entirely true."
"The Nets have two Chinese players, but the Timberwolves acquired Zeng through a trade for Towns this year. With the addition of Li Ke'er, the Timberwolves now also have two Chinese players."
"We might even see four Chinese players on the court during the Nets vs. Timberwolves game."
Last year's game between the Nets and the Trail Blazers featured three Chinese players: Wang Xiucheng, Zeng Fanbo, and Yu Jiahao, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Little did I know that was just the beginning; this season they might even take it a step further!
Three minutes later, Uduka finally called a timeout and substituted Wang Xiucheng.
Although Wang Xiucheng led four substitutes during this period, they lost to the Celtics by 5 points.
But time was almost up.
If they bring Thomas back in and let him take the lead, this point difference should give the Celtics a run for their money.
Wang Xiucheng plopped down on the bench, took a sip of the drink, and then looked at the three towels handed to him.
After a moment of surprise, Wang Xiucheng took all three towels, then draped one over his head, one over his legs, and one over his shoulders...
Exactly!
Durant, Westbrook, and Towns finally turned their attention back to the court with satisfaction.
The guy behind me, looking resentful and carrying a bunch of stuff, felt like he should start looking for other jobs.
Thomas dribbled the ball, watched as the timer finally reached zero, and then handed the basketball to the referee.
With a final whistle, the referee blew the final whistle for the entire match.
The Nets ultimately defeated the Celtics 129-118 at home.
The Nets' record has improved to 5 wins and 1 losses.
After a four-game winning streak to start the season, the Celtics finally suffered their first defeat.
With this victory, the Nets climbed to the top of the Eastern Conference for the first time.
The moment the whistle blew, Uduka went to the technical table and hugged Mazura.
The two were whispering to each other, seemingly having a very good relationship.
Towns and Dillon, along with others, came onto the court to shake hands with the Celtics players.
Wang Xiucheng, Durant, and Westbrook were not interested.
They were all involved in the previous conflict between the two teams, so if the other side didn't take the initiative, they naturally wouldn't go there on their own.
After handing a towel to Xiao Cui, Wang Xiucheng led him to Meng Chao, who was waiting under the basket, for an interview.
