Chapter 606 What is Unlimited Refills?
12 month 20 day.
Although Christmas is still a few days away, the streets and alleys of New York are already filled with the Christmas spirit.
Christmas trees were placed in front of every shop on the streets and alleys, and the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge were decorated with colorful lights.
The Barclays Center is no exception.
Especially since tonight is the Nets' home game and the Knicks' city derby, various activities have been held at the Barclays Center Plaza since noon.
Today's tickets are 10% more expensive on average than the tickets for the first game of the season, but many people still couldn't get them.
There's nothing we can do; there are just too many people trying to buy tickets.
Not every Nets fan has the money and time to travel with the Nets to away games.
Most Nets fans can only watch home games because of work or study commitments.
So, the first away game after half a month, and it was a derby, naturally made it difficult to get tickets.
Starting in the afternoon, many fans stood outside the Barclays Center holding large signs, hoping to get lucky and receive a ticket.
On the giant LED screen outside the Barclays Center, a new image appears every fifteen seconds.
The previous screen showed Wang Xiucheng endorsing Coca-Cola, and the next second the screen switched to a promotional video for Girls' Generation's upcoming concert at the Barclays Center.
Traffic congestion began on the streets around Barclays Center starting at 5 p.m.
Jingcha began blocking Frybach Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, where the Barclays Center is located, so people could only get to the arena on foot.
The fans complained a lot, but there was nothing they could do.
Tonight's game is the first derby of the new New York season, after all.
One is the long-standing dominant force in New York, and the other is the rising star Nets, who just won the championship last season and have further strengthened their roster this season by forming a new Big Three.
If you don't watch this game, you can't call yourself a fan anymore.
In this atmosphere, at 8:15 p.m., the first New York derby of the new season began.
Perhaps they hadn't recovered yet, because the Knicks' first basket of the game was scored by Brunson with a floater.
Then the Nets had three consecutive attacks, including one shot each from Wang Xiucheng, Durant, and Towns, but none of them went in.
The Knicks took the initiative and got off to a perfect 11-2 start.
When DiVincenzo made his first three-pointer of the night, Udoka called a timeout.
Uduka glanced up at the score, then looked at the fans in the stadium who were eating and drinking as usual, without a trace of worry, and sighed helplessly.
He knows the Nets have a problem right now: overconfidence!
Even Nets fans seem to think this way now, as if there's nothing to worry about as long as they're not down by 20 points.
Although it has been proven that being down by ten or more points is not a big deal for the Nets.
But this kind of trend really shouldn't be allowed to develop.
"Hey guys, wake up! We're not celebrating the Mid-Season Championship in Las Vegas anymore. I'm in New York, playing the New York Derby."
"Even if you win the Mid-Season Invitational, even if you win the NBA championship, as long as you can't beat the Knicks, you will never be the kings of New York!"
The Nets players were all fired up, their faces filled with determination!
I don't know if the motivational speech had an effect, but the Nets' shooting percentage improved after they went on the court.
But the Knicks' offense remained fierce, and the score went back and forth, with the Knicks even showing signs of extending their lead.
When Wang Xiucheng led the team alone in the final minute of the first quarter, the Knicks were already leading 30-20 by 10 points.
In the stands, two families, who appear to be friends, are sitting together watching the game.
The three children were eating hamburgers and drinking cola, happily discussing why the Hulk's underwear never breaks.
At that moment, the game entered its final minute.
The three children simultaneously put down their hamburgers and cola, stood on their chairs, and began to watch the game intently.
"The king's time, the king's time..."
The youngest child, who looked only six or seven years old, pointed in the direction of Wang Xiucheng in the field.
At that moment, Wang Xiucheng charged into the Knicks' paint and slammed a dunk over Barrett!
Instantly, the three children jumped up and down, shouting something unintelligible.
Their parents quickly reached out and grabbed their child, afraid that the child would fall off the chair.
Bang!
Brunson's three-pointer missed, Claxton grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng dribbled past Grimes after receiving the ball, turned, and immediately accelerated towards the attacking third.
Grimes gritted his teeth and began to give chase.
But after three steps, Wang Xiucheng suddenly slowed down and stopped abruptly from high speed.
Wang Xiucheng stopped, but Grimes just couldn't stop.
He was like a sports car that didn't have time to react and rear-ended Wang Xiucheng.
"Ah..." Wang Xiucheng screamed, lifting his back foot so that his front foot landed squarely on the field.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng clasped the ball together with both hands and threw it out.
With a whistle, the referee blew his whistle and looked at the basketball that had already taken flight.
Swish!
The basketball traced an alarmingly high arc before crashing into the hoop.
Then it slammed onto the floor with a loud thud.
Wang Xiucheng was also knocked forward several steps by the impact.
beep!
The referee blew his whistle again and made a series of rulings to the scorer's table.
Wang Xiucheng made a three-pointer, Grimes fouled, and Wang Xiucheng needs to make the free throw.
Wang Xiucheng took a few steps to catch his breath and was now standing at the free throw line.
So Wang Xiucheng stopped moving and waited there.
Grimes watched Wang Xiucheng from behind, his teeth itching with hatred.
But he had no way to solve it.
He did rear-end the other party, and Wang Xiucheng did indeed score the shot.
He had no reason to challenge the coach.
"Wang's free throw won't go in," the six or seven-year-old boy said in a presumptuous tone.
"Why?" asked the slightly older child next to him.
"Unlimited refills," the child replied.
What is unlimited refills?
"Unlimited refills mean unlimited refills!"
Bang!
Wang Xiucheng took the penalty kick, but unfortunately, it didn't go in.
With a snap, Claxton touched the basketball before Knicks backup center Gibson.
The basketball was tipped to the outside, and Dillon swooped down to catch it.
Then Dillon staggered and turned around, his back to Hart.
Hart crouched slightly, using his lower body to block Dillon and prevent him from entering the paint.
Hart knew that Dillon had a sudden turnaround fadeaway shot, so he tried to keep Dillon away from the basket.
The next moment, Hart suddenly felt his lower body loosen, and he almost knelt down after using all his strength.
Having finally managed to stop, Hart saw Dillon suddenly step forward and block Brunson, who was following Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng also took the basketball.
Just as Hart was about to move toward Wang Xiucheng's position, he saw that Wang Xiucheng didn't dribble at all, but simply drifted and shot the three-pointer.
Hart immediately turned his head to look at the basket, and just then he saw the basketball swish into the basket!
Three-pointer, in again!
Instantly, the entire stadium erupted in a frenzy of shouts!
"See that? That's called unlimited refills!" the five- or six-year-old child said proudly to the child next to him.
Thanks to Wang Xiucheng's eight consecutive points, the Nets have narrowed the score to 30-28!
There are 6 seconds left.
