Chapter 223 Attacked by Level 1 Malice! Wang Xiu Suffers Injury?
Wang Xiucheng scored 4 points, bringing the score to 21-6.
As Wang Xiucheng retreated, he extended his hands and gave Claxton and Durant a high-five.
While Wang Xiucheng was taking free throws, the two players stood in the waiting area, ready to grab the rebound.
I just had a good free throw shooting touch today, and I made the extra free throw.
Sims slammed the bouncing basketball down hard to express his dissatisfaction.
Brunson clapped his hands, stood in front of Sims, and reached out for the ball.
After receiving the ball, Brunson did not hide behind Sims, but instead accelerated and charged towards the front.
Using a feint, Brunson blew past Wang Xiucheng and entered the paint, then took a long two-pointer and scored.
The score is now 21-8.
Possession changed hands, Benci brought the ball across half-court, and Wang Xiucheng once again used Claxton's screen in the paint to shake off Brunson and then received the ball.
Brunson hadn't arrived yet, but Reddish, who was defending Benci, suddenly moved towards Wang Xiucheng and slapped his head with his palm.
With a loud slap, Wang Xiucheng was slapped across the face.
With a muffled thud, Wang Xiucheng squatted down on the ground, holding the basketball in one hand and covering his face with the other.
Reddish didn't stop there; he reached for the basketball in Wang Xiucheng's arms with both hands.
Even though the whistle had already sounded urgently at this point.
But Reddish didn't give up; he seemed determined to get the ball.
Bensi, who was standing nearby, finally reacted and shoved Reddish four or five steps away, standing in front of Reddish.
The other players also ran over at this time. Claxton, taking advantage of his long arms, reached out over Barrett and tried to grab Reddish's neck.
Fortunately, Reddish was pulled away by someone behind her and wasn't actually choked.
The scene was somewhat chaotic, and the referee immediately separated the players from both sides.
The game was paused again, and the players from both sides were taken back by their respective coaching staffs.
The referee then went back to the scorer's table to review what had happened.
Wang Xiucheng, with one eye covered, returned to the bench with Claxton's help.
He tried to open his eyes, but the soreness and pain prevented Wang Xiucheng from doing so.
"Let's go back to the locker room first," the team doctor suggested.
It is certain that Wang Xiucheng's eyes were hit, but the exact extent of the injury can only be determined after Wang Xiucheng opens his eyes.
This noisy environment is clearly unsuitable.
Wang Xiucheng nodded, covered his eyes with a towel, opened his other unaffected eye, and followed the team doctor into the players' tunnel.
All the fans stood up and applauded Wang Xiucheng, hoping that he was alright.
After Wang Xiucheng disappeared into the player tunnel, the fans booed Reddish and the Knicks.
The word "F" could be clearly heard throughout the entire arena, appearing in sentences containing "Knicks" or "Reddish".
Nash looked at the referee who was still reviewing the replay and felt somewhat guilty.
He should have replaced Wang Xiucheng sooner.
After Wang Xiucheng scored 4 points, he should have been substituted.
The Knicks couldn't accept taking such a large lead in the first quarter, so it's possible they would make some big moves, or even deliberately target Wang Xiucheng.
This is also why Nash no longer requires Wang Xiucheng to play as a substitute.
If Wang Xiucheng is in the starting lineup, his brilliance will be diluted by others, such as Durant.
But among the substitutes, Wang Xiucheng is definitely the most dazzling star.
This is also a way to protect Wang Xiucheng.
Durant has long held a certain status, so others wouldn't dare to do anything to him. But when it comes to a second-year rookie, especially one who is Chinese, they might not have as many reservations.
After all, not everyone can reap the benefits of China's development.
A player like Reddish might never earn as much money as China in his entire life, so naturally he has no fear of Chinese players.
After blaming himself, Nash immediately took over the tactics board and arranged the tactics for when Wang Xiucheng was not present.
The referee understood it after watching for a minute.
However, they symbolically looked at it from different angles a couple more times, even stood together and exchanged a few words, before making a ruling.
Reddish - Level 1 Malice.
Claxton received a technical foul.
The referee did not explain Reddish's flagrant foul, but he did offer a brief explanation for Claxton's technical foul.
"Although he did not violate the opponent, Claxton has made a move."
Upon hearing this ruling, the entire stadium naturally booed the referee.
Reddish wasn't even ejected? Is there any justice in this world? Is there no law?
You just said you were fair and just, and this is the first thing you do to us?
What a terrible referee!
Jay-Z and 50-meter rappers, known for their flamboyant personalities, stood up and booed the Knicks' bench.
Amidst the boos, the game continued.
Seth Curry, who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, replaced Wang Xiucheng on the field.
Without Wang Xiucheng, the Nets' tactical focus naturally shifted to Durant.
Durant, who had been slacking off in the first half of the first quarter, stepped up at this crucial moment.
Durant is acting as both father and mother to his child.
By the end of the first quarter, Durant had already scored 11 points and added 6 assists.
Since Wang Xiucheng joined the Nets, Durant has rarely showcased his assist abilities.
He preferred to be a purely cold-blooded killer.
Thanks to the performances of Wang Xiucheng and Durant in half a quarter, the Nets led the Knicks 38-22 by 16 points in the first quarter.
But judging from this score, the two teams don't seem to be on the same level.
During the break, all the fans were scrolling through their phones, especially Shams and Woj on social media, hoping to see news about Wang Xiucheng.
Scarlett Johnson kept her eyes fixed on the players' tunnel, hoping to catch a glimpse of that big boy.
Before she knew it, her hands were trembling.
That was a kind of tension.
She hadn't been this nervous in a long time.
The last time was probably when I auditioned for Foxconn Interactive Entertainment.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Lily Rose Depp held her elderly father's large hand, her eyes fixed on the players' tunnel.
"It's okay, it's normal for professional athletes to get bumps and bruises," Depp said.
Lily Rose Depp nodded, but still watched nervously, as if afraid of missing him.
Depp sighed somewhat helplessly.
I can help my daughter with her work, so why should this old man have to step in when it comes to her love life?
This is just too... embarrassing!
Before we knew it, the holiday break was over.
The substitutes from both sides came onto the field.
The referee was also standing on the sideline, ready.
At that moment, the fans near the players' tunnel were the first to cheer.
The noise quickly spread to other locations.
The next moment, many fans looked over and saw a tall, slender figure slowly appear in the player tunnel.
"Wang Xiucheng!"
I don't know which person of Chinese descent shouted something in Mandarin.
Then the name Wang Xiucheng was called out in an orderly fashion.
Wang Xiucheng!
Wang Xiucheng!
Wang Xiucheng!
In an instant, the entire Barek Center resounded with the deafening shouts of "Wang Xiucheng"!
Even the giant wraparound screen on the dome was shaken for a moment!
