Chapter 445 Westbrook: Fuck...you fucking...that was a great pass!
The pause was over quickly.
Neither head coach showed any sign of ending the meeting.
"Pay attention to switching on defense, don't give them any open looks, especially in this area..."
"Defend every position, and make sure Wang Xiucheng has an open passing opportunity..."
The two head coaches squatted on the ground and shouted, and the content was surprisingly the same.
Both sides switched on defense constantly, trying to prevent the opponent from having an open three-point opportunity.
Everyone knows that an opponent's three-pointer can be deadly!
The referee called for backup again, and only then did both head coaches stand up.
The players from both sides returned to the field to begin the final three minutes of the match.
The Nets had possession of the ball, and Wang Xiucheng unusually stood on the sidelines to inbound it.
Just as the referee raised his hand to start the timer, Wang Xiucheng lobbed the ball high to Durant.
Durant leaned against Tatum behind him and then passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng, who had already entered the court.
Wang Xiucheng dodged Smart's attempt to score with a crossover dribble, while also getting past him to the frontcourt.
After a slight pause, Wang Xiucheng leaned Smart behind him and tossed the ball high into the air.
Bang!
Durant, having somehow shaken off Tatum, dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
Durant ran back, reached out and clapped his hand with Wang Xiucheng's, and shouted "Beautiful!"
These two points were Durant's 25th and 26th points tonight, and also Wang Xiucheng's tenth assist.
Tatum immediately went to the baseline and passed the ball to Smart.
Smart has the ball and carefully dribbles it forward.
He lost two balls to Wang Xiucheng tonight.
Smart was fairly satisfied with the result.
Just as Smart was thinking this, he saw Wang Xiucheng's legs, which had been retreating, suddenly stop and start striding towards him.
Smart instinctively bent down and reached for the basketball.
But something unexpected happened to Smart; seemingly due to misjudging the distance, his fingers landed on the basketball.
The basketball, touched by his finger, flew forward.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng's hand slapped the basketball, and then he dashed out like a gust of wind.
Smart, whose brain had completely shut down, instinctively reached out and grabbed Wang Xiucheng's arm.
Wang Xiucheng let out an exaggerated "Ah!" and then threw the basketball towards the basket from the backcourt.
The ball obviously didn't go in; it didn't even touch the rim.
But Wang Xiucheng was pulled halfway around by Smart, and as soon as he regained his footing, he immediately shouted to Glacy outside the sideline: "Three-pointer! It's a three-pointer! Three free throws!"
Glacy glanced at Wang Xiucheng, "How about I give you five free throws?"
"You're not kidding?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
“You were the one who started the joke.” Gracie glared at Wang Xiucheng.
"Shut up, you liar!" Tatum cursed as he passed by Wang Xiucheng, and didn't forget to pat Smart on the shoulder.
Tatum decided that the team would file a protest after the game, and Gladys and Wang Xiucheng were practically flirting on the court.
Let alone the Celtics tonight, even if the 98 Bulls came, they would all be defeated tonight.
Smart was somewhat lost in thought at this moment.
He still doesn't understand what just happened.
He saw Wang Xiucheng moving towards him, and then he tried to control the ball in advance, but he made a mistake and pushed the ball away.
Then the basketball ended up in Wang Xiucheng's hands.
Smart kept replaying the scene in his mind, but the more he replayed it, the more he felt that he had deliberately passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng!
Glacy made a series of ruling gestures toward the scorer's table.
Smart committed a foul, his sixth of the night, and was ejected.
Smart, who had been standing on the sidelines, returned to the bench after seeing the ruling.
He stole a glance at Mazura, and only when he saw that she wasn't looking at him did Smart breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiucheng ignored Tatum.
He didn't even glance at Tatum.
Reaching the free-throw line, Wang Xiu received the ball from the referee, spun it around, and then shot.
Swish!
They went in again.
Wang Xiucheng nodded.
My free throw percentage this season is quite good, much higher than last year.
This may be related to improved physical strength.
Last year, when standing at the free throw line, Wang Xiucheng would take several deep breaths to relieve fatigue.
Sometimes, improper adjustment can also affect free throw percentage.
This situation has been rare this season, especially in the second half.
Wang Xiucheng has now increased his stamina to 100 points, and he feels that he can play for more than 40 minutes in each game without any problem.
Wang Xiucheng stood outside the sideline, preparing to serve again.
Smart was the last defender, and he disrupted Wang Xiucheng's fast break, so he was called for "one free throw and possession".
The Nets' lead was reduced to 5 points, 119-114.
The ball was passed to Durant again.
Wang Xiucheng returned to the court, circled around a few times, received the ball from Durant, and then began to control the clock.
With little time remaining in the attacking sequence, Wang Xiucheng passed the ball to Benxi.
Although Ben West doesn't have a three-point shot, he's very good at driving to the basket.
At this moment, Ben West scored two points by driving into the paint and scoring off the backboard thanks to Lowe.
These are Ben West's 7th and 8th points tonight.
With these two points, the Nets have extended their lead to 7 points.
And the time was down to the last two minutes.
Bang!
The Celtics are on offense, but Horford's three-pointer misses.
Claxton grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng accelerated forward to the frontcourt and launched a three-pointer before the opponent's defensive formation was set.
Bang!
It didn't go in!
Neither side managed to score on their respective attacks.
The rebound was grabbed by White, who happened to be running back.
White didn't dribble the ball; he simply took a step forward and passed it to Tatum on the midfield line.
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng, who was already running back, stretched out a hand without even turning his head, blocking the basketball's path.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng turned around and took control of the ball.
Then Wang Xiucheng passed the ball directly to Westbrook in the distance.
The shock in Westbrook's eyes had not yet subsided.
Westbrook, who received the ball, didn't even have time to consider why Wang Xiucheng knew the ball's trajectory without turning around.
After dribbling the ball once, Westbrook arrived just outside the three-point line, lowered his shoulder, jumped, and released the shot.
Swish!
The basketball spun and fell into the net.
Three-pointer, in!
The Nets' lead reached 124-114, a total of 10 points.
Mazura stepped onto the field and called a timeout.
He couldn't accept the score gap widening to 10 points.
Moreover, Mazura saw that the time had already entered the final minute.
What this means is obvious without him even having to tell him.
The next minute might be the most important minute of the Celtics' season.
Of course, it could also be the last minute of the season.
Westbrook stared at Jaylen Brown as he walked past him, but ultimately held back and didn't start criticizing him again.
For him, every technical foul now means a fine.
His salary with the Nets is only $98, and he doesn't want to lose a single penny and end up paying tens of thousands more.
Suddenly, Westbrook felt someone pat him on the head.
This greatly displeased Westbrook. He had been in the league for so many years, was the all-time triple-double king, and was a 75-year-old. Who would dare to slap him on the head?
The next moment, Westbrook started cursing, "Fuck, you motherfucker..."
But Westbrook, who had just uttered a single word, turned around and saw Wang Xiucheng next to him, and the swear words he uttered instantly changed.
"Fuck...you fucking...you delivered that beautifully..."
