Chapter 547 Roy Ivy: A three-pointer after a three-step retreat? What the hell did I just see?
Roy Ivy knew that Maruachi, who was only 16 years old, still had a long way to go.
As the youngest player in this World Cup, Roy Ive brought him along simply to broaden his horizons and gain some experience.
But now that he's met Wang Xiucheng, I wonder if this kid can withstand the psychological fluctuations.
Swish!
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made both free throws again.
In the first quarter, Wang Xiucheng made all 6 of his free throws!
With these 6 free throws, Wang Xiucheng has already scored 16 points.
23:11.
Hebei China Fortune continued to extend their lead.
Roy Ivy scratched his face; he felt his heart racing.
South Sudan inbounds the ball from the baseline. This time, Calick Jones plays steadily and uses Maruachi's screen to get into the paint.
A successful floater helped South Sudan score their 13th point of the game.
Wang Xiucheng, who had followed Kalik Jones into the restricted area, picked up the basketball from the ground, then suddenly lifted one foot and swung it hard with one hand.
The basketball flew out instantly.
Calick Jones felt a gust of wind rush past his eyes, and he instinctively reached out to grab it, but he didn't touch the basketball at all.
The basketball flew straight to the center circle.
David Mullaka, who had somehow run into the center circle, reached out and blocked the ball, which then made strong contact with his hand.
David Mullaka's hand was bounced away by the basketball, which shows how powerful Wang Xiucheng's baseline fast break free throw was.
"Anticipatory pass" activated!
The next moment, David Mullaka reached out again and controlled the basketball, which had lost much of its speed and bounced off the floor.
Then David Mullaka dribbled straight to the opponent's baseline.
With a resounding thud, David Muoka slammed home a two-handed dunk, scoring his first point in this World Cup.
David Muoka, who had landed on the ground, shouted excitedly at the sky.
His parents also started shouting, though they didn't know what they were saying.
Not only them, but all the other Chinese players were shouting.
That game was fucking awesome to watch!
After clapping his hands, Wang Xiucheng walked to the center circle and gave David Muoka, who had already finished shouting, a big high five.
David Muoka played in the last match against Serbia, but had very few opportunities.
Although I made one attempt, it didn't go in.
But today, appearing alongside Wang Xiucheng, he felt completely different; he seemed to have become much stronger.
He played the power forward position today. Although he lacks shooting ability, his mobility is something that the Chinese men's basketball team lacks.
It can be said that in the entire Chinese team, those taller than him are not as fast, and those faster than him are not as strong.
Even Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi couldn't catch up with him.
In terms of athletic ability alone, he is confident that he can rank second after Wang Xiucheng.
25:11.
The Chinese men's basketball team extended their lead once again.
Roy Ivy shook her head as she watched.
Because of Wang Xiucheng alone, the entire Huaxia team seemed like a completely different team.
He watched the video of the previous match between Hebei China Fortune and Serbia.
The conclusion is that the Chinese team is no match for them at all.
Whether it's shooting accuracy or penetration ability, the Chinese team is no match for South Sudan.
But now, he feels like he watched a fake video.
He really wanted to call a timeout, but there were only two timeouts in the first half, and he had already used one. If he used another, he would be helpless in the second quarter.
Bear with it!
In the next possession, Calick Jones passed the ball to an open player, and South Sudan finally made a three-pointer.
South Sudan's score has reached 14 points.
However, at this moment, the time officially entered "the King's Time"!
Watching Wang Xiucheng slowly cross the center line with the ball, Roy Ivy had a headache.
If he were in the NBA, he would choose the same fouling tactic as Coach Malone.
Even if they give Wang Xiucheng two free throws, they won't let him have a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
But this is a FIBA game, where a player can only commit 5 fouls, and there are only 12 players on the court at any one time.
Once a player accumulates too many fouls, given Wang Xiucheng's ability to draw fouls, he will inevitably relentlessly attack that player one-on-one throughout the rest of the game.
Just then, Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.
Yu Jiahao brought Maruachi to the outside.
Switch sides!
Yu Jiahao made a solid and clean block on Wang Xiucheng's defense against Kalik Jones.
Callick Jones felt as if he had crashed into a wall, and the whole sky went dark!
Wang Xiucheng immediately moved the ball to the other side and drew Maruachi away.
The 2.18-meter-tall Maruachi, like a spider, moved sideways while raising his two long arms to cover Wang Xiucheng.
Standing at 218cm tall, Maruachi boasts a wingspan of 235cm, making it fair to say he possesses the same talent as Wenban Yama.
Looking at Maruachi's extremely aggressive defense, Wang Xiucheng suddenly smiled.
Then let's show the world exactly how to beat the Amazon!
Wang Xiucheng lowered his body very low and made no feints, breaking through to the right.
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng kept an eye on Maruachi's feet.
Just as Maruachi made a slight movement, Wang Xiucheng immediately pulled the ball back, while simultaneously giving Maruachi a subtle push on the stomach with his other hand.
In an instant, the distance between the two sides widened.
However, this distance does not guarantee that it will not be covered.
If it were anyone else, like Calick Jones, Wang Xiucheng could have made a single, decisive move.
But Maruachi couldn't do it.
His height, wingspan, and agility were enough to block Wang Xiucheng's shot from a distance of just one step away.
So Wang Xiucheng took another step back, and only when his back foot landed did he finish gathering the ball!
That wasn't the end of it. As Wang Xiucheng held the ball up with both hands, he took another step back!
Almost instantly, Wang Xiucheng was more than two meters away from Maruachi.
Wang Xiucheng jumped up with the basketball in his hand!
Furthermore, Wang Xiucheng jumped up backwards!
The moment Maruachi was pushed away by Wang Xiucheng, he knew that Wang Xiucheng was about to make a move.
So he braked with all his might, and even took a step forward with his long legs before jumping up and reaching out to block Wang Xiucheng.
However, to his despair, Wang Xiucheng actually took three steps back before making his move!
Yes, from Maruachi's perspective, it's three steps!
Wang Xiucheng took one step back when pulling the ball back, another step when catching the ball, and then took another step back when throwing the ball after catching it!
They retreated three steps!
Maruachi has done his best to jump!
He was confident that anyone who shot in front of him would get their shot blocked!
Even if it's a Wenban Amazon!
However, he watched helplessly as the basketball in Wang Xiucheng's hand flew past his own palm.
In fact, the basketball was still quite a distance from his fingertips!
This gave Maruachi the feeling that Wang Xiucheng's retreat of three steps seemed a bit wasteful; two steps would have been more than enough.
Swish!
Just as Maruachi landed and before he could even retract his hand, a crisp sound rang out from behind the basketball hoop!
This means the ball went in!
It was another three-pointer.
The score on the big screen jumped instantly, becoming 28 to 14!
Wang Xiucheng finally made his first three-pointer of the game tonight, and he made it!
Maruachi looked at the referee, wanting to complain that Wang Xiucheng had just traveled.
However, he saw his head coach, Roy Ivey, talking to the referee on the sidelines.
Yes, it's about communication.
They were exchanging pleasantries in a very polite manner.
He was so polite that Roy Ivy held his head in his hands, squatted slightly, and looked constipated.
"He took three steps back! My God, this wouldn't even happen in the NBA."
What did he see?!
A three-pointer after taking three steps back?
This is fucking insane!
And the referee didn't even make a move?
When did FIBA allow blind people to be referees?
The referee glanced at Roy Ivy and then actually smiled: "First of all, he didn't step back three steps. He stepped back when he pulled the ball back and then stepped back again when he combined the ball, so it's not a violation. I saw it very clearly. Of course, you can challenge it."
"Furthermore, in the NBA, taking eight steps is not a violation, and I only took three steps here, so it's naturally not a violation!"
