Chapter 554 Wang Xiucheng on the News Broadcast!
Wang Xiucheng smiled at Meng Chao, making Meng Chao blush. Meng Chao quickly returned the microphone to the host.
All the reporters present immediately looked at Wang Xiucheng, and the cameras in the back row that were broadcasting the press conference were also pointed at Wang Xiucheng, afraid of missing his answer.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at the ceiling, seemingly recalling something.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng suddenly realized and said, "The Philippines have lost two games already, right? If they want to meet the Chinese team, maybe we should wait until the Asian Cup."
Wang Xiucheng's answer brought smiles to the faces of the reporters present.
Indeed, as Wang Xiucheng said, the Philippines will lose to both the Dominican Republic and Angola in the group stage.
There is no chance of them making it to the round of 16.
With one win and one loss, China still retains hope of advancing.
Clarkson's answer in the interview actually contained a metaphorical hope that the Chinese team would fail to advance.
Consider it a "beautiful" blessing from him.
Wang Xiucheng naturally understood the metaphor in Meng Chaohua's post.
However, it is clear that the Chinese team just easily defeated South Sudan 108-88.
This point difference leads most people to believe that Hebei China Fortune has a high chance of defeating their last group stage opponent, Puerto Rico, in the next match.
Although many people raised their hands to ask questions, Wang Xiucheng and Guo Shiqiang left the press conference after answering two more questions.
Wang Xiucheng knew that many of his sisters would be sending him messages or calling him at this time, but he still didn't look at his phone.
When he was with the Nets, he was surrounded by foreigners who couldn't read Chinese characters, so Wang Xiucheng didn't have any reservations.
But that's obviously not an option at this time.
After meeting up with the others in the locker room, they all took a bus back to the hotel. Wang Xiucheng ate something with everyone before returning to his room.
As I lay on the sofa replying to my sisters' messages one by one, my phone suddenly rang.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at the phone and instantly felt a toothache.
Wang Xiucheng waited without answering or hanging up until the other party was forcibly disconnected when the time was up.
However, less than a minute later, the phone rang again.
Wang Xiucheng sighed, waited for another ten seconds or so, and finally answered the phone.
"Kelly, I just fell asleep," Wang Xiucheng said somewhat unhappily as he answered the phone.
Kelly was the one who called Wang Xiucheng.
“Impossible.” Kelly seemed quite certain that Wang Xiucheng hadn’t slept. “I called your hotel, and they said you just finished dinner.”
"Okay, what's the matter?" Wang Xiucheng could only ask.
“You still owe me a candlelight dinner,” Kelly’s voice came softly.
Wang Xiucheng felt his toothache worse. "I'll treat you to dinner when I get back to New York."
“No, I want you to… treat me to dinner right now,” Kelly immediately refused.
What use will she be when we get back to New York?
“Since you know this hotel’s phone number, you should know I’m playing in the World Cup,” Wang Xiucheng still advised.
Kelly suddenly laughed on the phone, "I'm in Singapore, waiting for you to finish your match and come visit me."
"Singapore?" Wang Xiucheng paused for a moment. "Why did you come to Singapore?"
Wang Xiucheng regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth.
"To see you."
Sure enough, Kelly answered without hesitation.
Wang Xiucheng sighed and finally said, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner after the match."
“I recorded it. If you go back on your word, I’ll tell Kendall,” Kelly’s smug voice continued.
Wang Xiucheng chuckled coldly and hung up the phone.
She was threatening me!
Looking at his phone, Wang Xiucheng gave a wry smile.
I've never been to Singapore, but it seems I have a real connection with this place.
Lin Yun'er and her group will be holding two concerts in Singapore, and I have already arranged to meet her there.
Now, with Kelly's dinner included, this trip to Singapore is inevitable.
……
Evening of the 28th.
Jiang Yan was playing with her son while the news was playing on TV.
Jiang Yan's mother was washing fruit, while Jiang Yan's father was intently watching television.
"Let's take a look at a sports news report I just received."
On the television, which was broadcasting current events, the presenter's tone suddenly became more relaxed.
"In the recently concluded group stage of the 23 FIBA Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team defeated the South Sudan team in Manila, Philippines."
The scene changed, and it became the competition venue.
"The Chinese team took the lead in the first quarter. Wang Xiucheng, a Chinese player who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, scored 19 points in the quarter, helping the Chinese team to lead South Sudan 30-16 in the first quarter."
"Wang Xiucheng continued to play in the second quarter, scoring 6 points and providing 6 assists. At the end of the first half, China led South Sudan 63-40."
"In the second half, Wang Xiucheng scored another 7 points, helping the Chinese team take a 32-point lead of 92-60 after the end of the third quarter."
"In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team fielded a reserve lineup, and ultimately defeated the South Sudan team 108-88 in the second group stage game."
"Wang Xiucheng played 30 minutes in this game, scoring 32 points and 15 assists."
The scene then changed again, showing Wang Xiucheng and others singing with the fans inside the stadium.
"The next match will be in two days, when Hebei China Fortune will face Puerto Rico."
The screen continued to play footage of Wang Xiucheng, but the host's voice was no longer heard.
About 10 seconds later, the screen switched to showing the live stream host.
The host also turned serious again, "This afternoon, the inspection team will be stationed in Jiangxi..."
Jiang Yan's father stared blankly at the television for a long time before he came to his senses.
The news about the men's basketball team was actually interspersed among a bunch of current affairs news; that's really high treatment!
It seems that the higher-ups are taking this year's men's basketball team results quite seriously.
Jiang Yan held the child and kept watching TV.
Even her own son became unusually quiet.
But when the television screen switched to other news, the child started fussing again, seemingly wanting to get down and walk on his own.
This child is growing much faster than other children; he can already walk unsteadily by himself while holding onto things.
"Keep it up!" Jiang Yan said quietly, pulling her son, who was always causing her a lot of trouble.
……
8 month 30 day.
Serbia is currently playing its final group stage match against South Sudan.
The Chinese team had already arrived at the Alanetta Arena, the venue for the match.
They were simply waiting in the annex.
Eleven Chinese players were doing simple stretches or simply watching the match on TV.
The reason there are 11 is because Tao Hanlin was suspended for one game tonight due to "seizing power" in the last game.
Wang Xiucheng was watching television at that moment.
As the fourth quarter of the game was about to end on TV, the scene Wang Xiucheng didn't want to see still appeared.
South Sudanese player Anua Omote elbowed Serbian substitute Simanić in the waist during an attack.
This is the same position where Anuwa Omote elbowed Wang Xiucheng in the last match.
However, it was clear that Simanić did not have the same physical abilities as Wang Xiucheng, and he immediately squatted down on the ground.
Anuwa Omote, that guy, even after Tao Hanlin knocked out one of his teeth, still managed to use such dirty tactics.
It seems the lesson wasn't learned enough!
At that time, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I hope Jokic remembers what I said," Wang Xiucheng muttered.
Before the match between Serbia and South Sudan, Wang Xiucheng called Jokic.
The conversation took the form of Wang Xiucheng jokingly telling Jokic that he hoped Serbia would not hold back and that they must defeat South Sudan.
Jokic was somewhat unhappy at the time, seemingly displeased that Wang Xiucheng underestimated Serbia.
During the call, Wang Xiucheng mentioned several times, intentionally or unintentionally, that China has a fully equipped and blood-supply medical ship, and a Type 055 destroyer is conducting exercises in China's territorial waters, 250 kilometers west of Manila.
The match between Serbia and South Sudan has finally come to an end.
With Serbia's victory over South Sudan, Serbia, with three wins in the group stage, became the first team to advance to the round of 16.
There is one last qualifying spot in this group, which will be decided between the Chinese team and the Puerto Rican team.
Both teams had lost their previous two matches to Serbia, but had defeated South Sudan.
Therefore, tonight's direct confrontation is also very straightforward; whoever wins will advance to the round of 16 alongside Serbia.
It was 7 p.m., about an hour before the match between China and Puerto Rico.
Wang Xiucheng's phone rang repeatedly as the team's medical insurance manager was on the phone.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at the caller ID; it was Jokic.
Wang Xiucheng answered the phone immediately, and Jokic's somewhat anxious voice came through: "Wang, I remember you said this afternoon that China has a medical ship anchored not far away, right?"
“Yes.” Wang Xiucheng was somewhat relieved that Jokic remembered this.
"You said the ship has all blood types, right?" Jokic shouted, which was unusual for him.
"Yes," Wang Xiucheng answered readily.
"Wang, could you please contact your hospital ship? From what I understand, Simanich's condition seems quite serious; he needs surgery."
"But he has type A blood, which is negative type A blood. Our team doctor told me that it might be difficult to find such blood in Manila."
Type A blood, also known as "panda blood".
"Don't worry, I'll have our team doctor contact you."
Wang Xiucheng first hung up the phone, then briefly explained the situation to the team doctor, and handed the matter over to the Chinese team's doctor.
The Chinese team is setting off on their campaign, and supplies must come first!
Although the hospital ship came here under the guise of an exercise, it is essentially there to provide medical support for the Chinese men's basketball team.
After all, the Chinese are quite familiar with the situation in Manila.
Having arranged everything, Wang Xiucheng stopped worrying about the matter and focused on warming up.
As the time drew near, the Al-Alanetta Arena gradually filled with fans.
I don't know when it started, but gradually people in the venue began calling out Wang Xiucheng's name.
And it's quite tidy.
Wang Xiucheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of more than twenty beautiful women wearing T-shirts with Wang Xiucheng's cartoon designs standing in the first row of the fans' stands, chanting in unison.
"Wang Xiucheng, Wang Xiucheng, the Chinese men's basketball team is the best!"
