Chapter 581 1 minute 10 seconds, a new record for "the king's time"!
Al Horford is 37 years old, and he is very satisfied that he can still play and even has a good contract.
Horford had just signed a two-year, $20 million contract extension with the Celtics at this time last year.
He has two years left on his contract, and he can earn another 2000 million US dollars.
But the prerequisite is that you are healthy.
His contract includes an attendance clause; if he is unable to play due to injury, he will only receive a small portion of the guaranteed amount.
He has a beautiful wife who has won the Miss Universe title, and five intelligent children.
He wants to earn more money for his family.
Therefore, he needs to be healthy.
So at that moment, he immediately chose the second path and let go of Wang Xiucheng's hand.
The referee will not call a foul between the two players while they are moving.
However, if Wang Xiucheng makes the shot, the referee might actually dare to call a foul on him.
Just like before.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiucheng actually grabbed Horford's hand with his arm.
Then Horford heard Wang Xiucheng let out his signature scream again.
Immediately, Wang Xiucheng started his run from the center circle, just like a long jumper.
With one step, Wang Xiucheng reached the frontcourt and stepped on the Nets' logo.
With two steps, Wang Xiucheng reached the three-point line.
Then, Horford saw Wang Xiucheng holding the basketball and flying towards the inside basket...
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle, but made no further move.
Finally, after two steps, Wang Xiucheng jumped just before stepping onto the three-point line.
"Long jump three-pointer!"
Many fans at the scene started shouting!
All three referees were staring at Wang Xiucheng, with the referee on the baseline even holding up three fingers.
This means that Wang Xiucheng's shot was a three-pointer!
Finally, as Wang Xiucheng was about to step onto the free-throw line after falling, he threw the basketball towards the basket.
Bang!
Swish!
The basketball bounced off the backboard and back into the rim, making a crisp, mesmerizing sound as it scraped against the net.
Wang Xiucheng took several steps to cushion the impact after landing.
Then Wang Xiucheng stretched out his arms, raised his head, and waited!
Quiet!
The Barclays Center was extremely quiet!
Four or five seconds later, someone finally screamed.
This acted like a fuse, igniting the Barclays Center almost instantly.
The entire stadium suddenly seemed to explode, with countless screams and applause erupting.
The cameraman outside the baseline lay on the ground and captured Wang Xiucheng's outstretched arms in his camera!
A row of Nets cheerleaders were standing behind the cameraman. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a black girl rushed out, hugged Wang Xiucheng tightly, and kissed him.
Wang Xiucheng was startled. He stopped pretending and posing, and pushed the black cheerleader away.
Then, Wang Xiucheng, still shaken, watched as several burly security guards who had been keeping an eye on the area outside the line came over and pulled the audacious woman away.
Wang Xiucheng wiped his face. He thought, "I hope I didn't actually kiss her."
Durant and his friends rushed over to Wang Xiucheng like madmen, giving him high-fives and bumping chests.
It's not because Wang Xiu used the "long jump three-pointer" that's rarely used in the entire league now.
It was because Wang Xiucheng had already scored 9 points in the last minute of the second quarter.
And there is also an opportunity for additional penalties.
At that moment, the referee was gesturing towards the scorer's table that Wang Xiucheng's three-pointer was valid and that Horford had committed a foul, requiring an additional free throw.
If Wang Xiucheng makes this free throw, he will score 10 points.
This will be the first time Wang Xiucheng has scored 10 points in "Wang's Time"!
The money that Uduka hid in the ceiling will be taken out and spent tonight.
The Nets' lead instantly became 9 points, 73 to 64.
Furthermore, Wang Xiucheng has one more chance to receive an additional penalty.
Mazura stood on the sidelines, shrugging helplessly at Horford, seemingly disapproving of his decision.
But Horford was quite a few years older than him, so he couldn't say anything too harsh.
Horford seemed a little embarrassed, keeping his head down and bending over to listen.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Wang Xiucheng stood at the free-throw line. After receiving the ball from the referee, and following another drawn-out process, Wang Xiucheng finally took the free throw.
Swish!
Additional penalty.
The Nets' lead reached double digits for the first time, 74-64.
There are 3 seconds left.
The Celtics called a timeout.
Mazura seemed to want to make up for some points in the final three seconds.
There's a huge difference between going into the locker room with a double-digit deficit and going with a single-digit deficit for the Celtics.
Mazura squatted on the ground and began to arrange tactics, while Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the others listened in a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
On the other hand, the atmosphere at the Nets was much more lively.
Uduka and his henchmen discussed the matter on the grounds.
That's the good thing about Uduka; they always discuss things together before deciding on the next tactic.
If the tactics fail, it's because your advice was inadequate.
If the tactics succeed, it means I made the right choice in personnel selection.
In the last three seconds, you don't really need any tactics; it would be best if you could force the opponent to commit a service violation.
You can't just use man-to-man marking, preventing key players from receiving the ball and instead letting the player with the lowest shooting percentage receive it and shoot.
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle to end the timeout.
The Celtics inbounded the ball from the center line, and although they managed to get the ball out, it ended up going to Horford.
Horford only attempted two three-pointers in the first half, and both missed.
Upon receiving the ball, he was forced to take another hasty shot due to Durant's interference.
The ball didn't even touch the rim; it flew directly out of bounds.
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Wang Xiucheng clapped his hands, turned around and high-fived Westbrook, Durant, Towns, and others, then returned to the bench, took a sip of the drink handed to him by the uniform staff, waited for another ten seconds, and then got up to leave.
The uniformed staff quickly collected Wang Xiucheng's drink and followed him into the players' tunnel.
This young man is specifically in charge of Wang Xiucheng's drinks; he will immediately collect any drinks that Wang Xiucheng finishes.
And these drinks must never be out of reach.
Penguin Live Room.
After delivering a promotional message for a sports protection brand, Wang Meng resumed reading data.
"Wang Xiucheng played 19 minutes in the first half, scoring 22 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals."
"The Nets also led 74-64 at halftime."
"If I remember correctly, 74 points should be the highest first-half score this season."
"Teacher Yang Yi, is there anything you want to say?"
Yang Yi looked down at the notebook in front of him, his fingers still calculating. After hearing Wang Meng's voice, he didn't look up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Wang Xiucheng scored 4 points in the last minute of the first quarter."
"Wang Xiucheng scored 10 points in the last minute of the second quarter!"
"This should be the first time Wang Xiucheng has scored 10 points in Wang's time."
"It was these 10 points that gave the Nets a 10-point lead at halftime."
"Therefore, Tatum's statement after the Nets eliminated him in last season's playoffs that Wang Xiucheng only knew how to draw fouls has once again been proven wrong!"
"Wang Xiucheng has the explosive power to score 10 points in one minute, which is definitely not achieved with the help of the referees."
Instantly, both Wang Meng and Meina looked at Yang Yi, who had a serious expression on his face.
After going around in such a big circle, it turns out they were waiting here!
