Chapter 220 Brunson: The Knicks are the true kings of New York!
As soon as Wang Xiucheng landed, he leaned against Brunson behind him.
Using Brunson's resistance, Wang Xiucheng took two steps forward and then passed the basketball directly out.
The basketball flew almost straight from the backcourt towards the basket.
Durant reached out his hand, and the spinning basketball bounced off the floor the instant it touched his palm.
The basketball bounced off the ground and was caught by Durant's large hand.
Bang!
Durant slammed home a two-handed dunk, scoring two more points.
Nash stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed.
Just from that one round, you can see that Wang Xiucheng's passing skills are far superior to those of a rough guy like Sims.
Sims' pass to Brunson, in terms of both speed and height, was unable to get past Wang Xiucheng, who had just started his run.
But the ball that Wang Xiu passed to Durant was instantly given a high-speed spin.
This allows the basketball to maintain high speed while still giving the receiver a way to catch it.
I don't know about other people, but Nash certainly couldn't make that kind of pass.
Fortunately, he's retired and won't have to face this guy, Nash thought sarcastically.
“But that’s what I told him,” Nash thought, unusually.
"Beautiful pass." Durant slapped Wang Xiucheng's outstretched hand.
Once he tried that kind of pass, Durant felt like he was addicted.
If he doesn't receive a pass like Wang Xiucheng's in a game, he'll feel itchy all game and want to practice on the basketball.
At this moment, Brunson clapped his hands and shouted, "Run!"
Thibodeau nodded to himself; he had high hopes for Brunson's mental attributes.
The next moment, Xibodu's eyes fell on Wang Xiucheng running past him.
Sibodu shook his head inwardly.
Wang Xiucheng also possesses this kind of invisible and intangible attribute.
The Knicks opted for Brunson after failing to acquire Wang Xiucheng through a trade.
To be absolutely certain, the Knicks even recruited Brunson's father into the team early on, giving him a low-ranking but well-paid job.
Unexpectedly, just before the start of the season, the Nets and Rockets reached a trade agreement, and Wang Xiucheng was transferred to the Nets.
This infuriated Thibodeau.
This must be a private deal!
The Knicks' decision to offer Brunson's father a position infuriated Brunson's former team, the Mavericks.
It's easy to imagine how difficult it was for other teams to accept Wang Xiucheng's situation.
While Thibodeau was lost in thought, Brunson had already dribbled the ball up the field.
Brunson then got past Wang Xiucheng and entered the paint from a 45-degree angle.
Wang Xiucheng kept following Brunson, while also keeping an eye on the possible passing routes he might take.
Unexpectedly, as Brunson passed by the free-throw line, he suddenly jumped up with both hands and threw the ball out.
This throw caught not only Claxton, the center, off guard.
Even Wang Xiucheng, who had been following Brunson, didn't react in time.
4:4.
After succeeding, Brunson pounded his chest and shouted, "The Knicks are the fucking kings of New York!"
Wang Xiucheng looked at Brunson, his eyes slightly brightening.
Durant came to the baseline to inbound the ball, and this time Wang Xiucheng came over to receive it.
Brunson stayed close to Wang Xiucheng, seemingly unwilling to let him pass by even a step.
interesting!
It's been a long time since anyone has dared to be this close to me.
The next moment, the sound of a basketball hitting the floor echoed.
Three sounds in total!
With the first shot, Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball between his legs and pulled it back, creating some distance between himself and Brunson.
At this moment, Brunson actually stepped in and continued to stick close to Wang Xiucheng.
With the second sound, Wang Xiucheng broke through to the right, taking a big step with his right foot, and dribbled the basketball out with his right hand.
Brunson took a step back, blocking to the right, while simultaneously reaching for the basketball in Wang Xiucheng's hand.
On the third note, Wang Xiucheng pulled the basketball and his right foot back simultaneously. With a push from Wang Xiucheng, the basketball was passed between Brunson's legs after he had already taken a big step.
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng turned around and moved from the left to behind Brunson.
As he ran forward, Wang Xiucheng controlled the basketball and instantly overtook Brunson.
Brunson, whose groin had been pierced, also touched thin air with his hand reaching for the ball, causing him to lose his balance.
Fortunately, it was this hand that was reaching for the air that instinctively braced itself on the floor, preventing Brunson from falling to the ground.
However, this also made it impossible for Brunson to pursue Wang Xiucheng.
There was no one in front of Wang Xiucheng until he reached the three-point line, where Reddish, who was guarding Ben West, came over to help defend him.
This was something Thibodeau had already instructed them to do.
If Wang Xiucheng gets past Brunson, then whoever is guarding Benci will come over to help guard him, of course, this is when they are not far apart.
Because Ben West doesn't have a three-point shot, even if Wang Xiucheng passes him an open shot, he can't score.
In fact, Wang Xiucheng did not pass the ball to Bencić.
If you pass it to him, he'll either pass it out again or drive into the paint.
At that moment, Ben West suddenly ran towards Durant.
In the instant the two passed each other, Benci blocked Randle, who was guarding Durant.
Benci and Randall were about the same height and weight, but Benci was caught off guard and Randall was blocked without any preparation.
At that very moment, Wang Xiucheng passed the ball to Durant.
Durant received the ball, made no adjustments, and immediately pulled up for a shot.
Without even looking at the result, Durant turned around and ran back to the backcourt.
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net rang out.
Durant held up three fingers and gently touched them with Mr. Vermy, who was trembling and extending his palm from the sidelines.
"This is what basketball is all about!" Durant yelled at the camera on the baseline.
The fans outside the baseline all stood up and applauded Durant.
Possession changed hands, and Brunson carried the ball into the attacking third.
Several male fans at the baseline shouted at Brunson, "This is Brooklyn!"
With a snap, in the brief moment Brunson was stunned, Wang Xiucheng and Benxi almost simultaneously slapped Brunson's hand.
The basketball rolled to the side, and Durant and Randle both lunged at it.
With his longer arms, Durant got there first and poked the ball away.
The basketball rolled toward the center line.
At this moment, Wang Xiucheng ran towards the center line.
Brunson didn't even bother looking for the referee; he turned and ran towards the basketball.
But Brunson, who started later, turned around and saw Wang Xiucheng already bending down to pick up the basketball and rushing towards the empty basket.
Brunson slowed down, knowing he couldn't catch up with Wang Xiucheng.
At this moment, all the fans in the stadium stood up.
Even some celebrities in the front row stood up without regard for their image, and some fans who were prepared in advance opened their phones, just waiting for this moment.
Scarlett Johansson, her eyes glazed, gently covered her mouth as she stared at the glowing boy who had already taken flight.
Shaquille O'Neal, in the TNT broadcast booth, was shouting "gooooooooo..." into the microphone.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng entered the paint, one foot on the free throw line, and flew towards the basket!
