Chapter 277 The Coming Storm
Yu Jiahao looks clumsy, like a bear, and in fact, he is indeed very clumsy.
However, his height and weight make it difficult for him to be pushed aside under the basket.
Fortunately, this guy's shooting is unreliable, otherwise it would be a real problem.
Claxton ran into the offensive zone as he thought about it.
Yu Jiahao slapped Claxton in the waist, almost making Claxton swear.
Seeing Zeng Fanbo start running on the perimeter, Claxton immediately ran outwards and blocked Winslow, the Trail Blazers' substitute who was following Zeng Fanbo.
Zeng Fanbo brushed past Claxton into the paint, passed in front of Yu Jiahao, and reached the baseline position.
Wang Xiucheng had already gotten past Lillard and was about to shoot when he saw Zeng Fanbo had run into an open space, so Wang Xiucheng changed his mind.
He was going to pass the ball to Zeng Fanbo, who was in an open position.
However, between herself and Zeng Fanbo, there was also Yu Jiahao, who was over 220cm tall.
Under normal circumstances, this ball should not be able to get over Yu Jiahao.
However, Wang Xiucheng still flicked the ball with one hand, sending it flying towards Zeng Fanbo's corner.
After being beaten by Wang Xiucheng, Lillard saw the pass from Wang Xiucheng and gave up guarding him, instead preparing for a counterattack.
From his position, one can clearly see that Yu Jiahao's physique blocks out most of the angles.
However, just as Lillard was running towards the frontcourt, the basketball flew to Yu Jiahao's feet.
Just as Lillard predicted, Yu Jiahao slapped the basketball.
The basketball was interfered with and crashed towards the floor.
With a thud, the basketball bounced off the ground, but instead of bouncing towards him as Yu Jiahao had expected, it bounced to the side at a 45-degree angle.
Zeng Fanbo, who had been watching the ball closely, immediately ran over and controlled the basketball just before it went out of bounds.
He immediately jumped, and the basketball spun towards the basket.
Swish!
The basketball went in perfectly!
Three point shot!
The Nets led 83-80, a three-point advantage.
Wang Xiucheng's pass utilized the ability of "anticipating the pass".
This turned Yu Jiahao's slap into an indirect assist for Zeng Fanbo.
This was Zeng Fanbo's second shot of the match, and his first goal.
At this moment, all three Chinese players had scored.
The Chinese fans at the scene were jumping, shouting, and laughing excitedly!
Meanwhile, across China, fans watching the game spontaneously began shouting, regardless of the occasion.
This moment is destined to be recorded in history!
At this moment, everyone is witnessing history!
The match is still ongoing.
With 38 seconds remaining, each team has enough time to complete one full offensive play.
Possession changed hands, and Lillard attempted a shot, but Wang Xiucheng tried to steal the ball. However, the red dot disappeared too quickly, and Wang Xiucheng committed a foul.
This also disrupted Lillard's rhythm.
After inbounding the ball, Lillard, who hadn't found a good opportunity, took advantage of Yu Jiahao's screen and made a three-pointer in the last few seconds.
Swish!
Lillard looked like he was rushing the shot.
But they still got in.
Lillard slapped Yu Jiahao on the broad shoulder.
It seems that their luck has improved since this Chinese man came.
There are 15 seconds left.
Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, constantly looking for an opportunity to draw a foul.
But like Lillard, he couldn't find the target, so in the last few seconds, Wang Xiucheng pulled up for a three-pointer right in front of Lillard.
This time, Wang Xiucheng didn't even take a step back.
Wang Xiucheng simply increased the curvature.
The basketball fell into the net like a shooting star.
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
With a beep, the third quarter ended.
The score was 86-83, with the Nets leading by 3 points.
This is a score that seems acceptable to both sides.
The players returned to the bench to rest, while the two head coaches took the opportunity to discuss the next tactical arrangements with their respective assistant coaches.
……
Huaxia, Yanjing, Capital Hotel.
In one room, six or seven old men were huddled together, intently watching television.
When Yu Jiahao and Zeng Fanbo both scored, these old men excitedly raised their fists and shouted.
When Wang Xiucheng hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer, several old men jumped up.
But soon an old man seemed a little too excited, so he quickly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured a few pills into his mouth, and his complexion improved.
"Old Ma, your son told you to calm down, have you forgotten?" an old man said with a smile, pressing the old man down onto the sofa.
The old man took a breath, calmed himself down, and said, "I've already been very restrained. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely have a couple of drinks to celebrate."
"Hahaha……"
The old men all laughed.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and several middle-aged men sitting near the door stood up and opened it.
An extremely tall figure, at least 220cm or taller, appeared.
The man bent down and went into the house, and several old men looked over.
The next moment, an old man with gray hair suddenly asked in a serious tone, "Little Yao, are you ready?"
"Coach Jiang, you're ready."
"it is good."
Coach Jiang, with his graying hair, looked at several old guys who were about the same age as him.
"I never thought that at our age, we would still have the opportunity to contribute to Chinese basketball."
The old man's tone shifted: "But is this a good thing? No, it's a disgrace."
"This proves that our management is rotten to the core."
"If we don't do something now, I guarantee that when we're both done for, we'll look back on our lives and regret it."
Several old men stood up. "Stop talking, let's set off now. I've been wanting to curse those bastards for a long time."
"Well, let's go."
After saying that, the old men put on their coats and started to walk outside.
Those waiting at the door seemed to be the relatives of the old men, who immediately came to help them, some even pushing wheelchairs.
A few minutes later, at the hotel entrance, the group got into a car that had been waiting there and left the hotel.
……
After a short break, the fourth quarter began.
Durant took to the court, leading the bench players at the start of the fourth quarter.
Along with Durant were Zeng Fanbo, Royce O'Neal, Ben West, and Seth Curry.
This is still a small-ball lineup without a center.
For the Trail Blazers, Lillard was resting, and Anfernee Simons was leading the team.
Yu Jiahao is still on the court, guarding the Trail Blazers' interior defense.
Wang Xiucheng was resting on the bench, a towel over his head, intently watching the game.
He had no idea what kind of storm was brewing in the Chinese basketball world at that moment!
