Chapter 415 Stallone, you'd better think carefully about which daughter you want to marry to me
Benci's technical foul did not have a significant impact on the game.
Aside from Bensi himself being in a bad mood.
He felt that all the referees in the league were targeting him.
He had lost count of how many times this had happened.
I wanted to argue with the referee, but I didn't have the guts.
In the end, Benxi could only sigh inwardly.
The game continued, and both sides maintained a relatively high shooting percentage.
On the defensive end, the Knicks, with too many players carrying fouls, didn't play as aggressively as they did in the first half.
Brunson, in particular, would stop jumping around when he saw Wang Xiucheng deliberately trying to find him for one-on-one matches, for fear that Wang Xiucheng would trick him again.
The game quickly came to a point where there were two minutes left in the match.
The Nets led 110-99 at home, an 11-point advantage.
This is a score that's neither too high nor too low.
This keeps both sides in a position to win the game.
The Knicks have possession of the ball. Brunson bends down and moves forward with the ball, trying to minimize the time his hands are separated from the basketball.
Tonight, he has already been directly defeated by Wang Xiucheng three times.
This was just him; many more others were killed by Wang Xiucheng.
He hadn't looked at the statistics, but he remembered that Wang Xiucheng had made seven or eight steals tonight.
Without those steals, the Knicks would be in the lead right now.
Almost every steal by Wang Xiucheng resulted in a fast break point.
Seeing Wang Xiucheng suddenly take a half step forward, Brunson instinctively took a step back, increasing the distance between himself and Wang Xiucheng.
He's already extremely easily frightened.
It's quite rare for someone of his height and ball-handling skills to have three players steal the ball from him in a single game.
At this moment, Mitchell Robinson moved from the inside to the outside and stood behind Wang Xiucheng.
Brunson immediately dribbled towards Robinson.
With Robinson getting inside, Claxton was forced to switch onto Brunson.
Claxton, who is 211cm tall, has speed as his strength, but that is compared to other centers.
Against small guards with extremely high frequency of play, like Brunson, it becomes somewhat passive.
Claxton was shaken twice by Brunson and was slightly disoriented.
Brunson changed direction and entered the free throw line, immediately throwing the basketball out.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
The score was 110 to 101, with the difference back to single digits.
"Defense!"
Brunson shouted as he backed away.
Westbrook glanced at Wang Xiucheng and saw that Wang Xiucheng had run to the center circle, so he came back to receive the ball.
After dribbling for a while, Westbrook saw Wang Xiucheng enter the paint again, circling around Claxton and Robinson for a long time.
For some reason, when Westbrook noticed Wang Xiucheng reappear, Brunson had already been blocked by Claxton.
Robinson had no choice but to follow Wang Xiucheng.
Seeing that Wang Xiucheng glanced at him, Westbrook passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng without any hesitation.
Bang bang bang!
The next moment, Westbrook and the others saw Wang Xiucheng pull back between his legs, then back down and turn around.
Almost instantly, Wang Xiucheng slithered behind Robinson like an eel.
Swish!
Just like Brunson had done, Wang Xiucheng made a successful throw.
The score difference between the two sides has once again reached 11 points.
112:101.
The Knicks attacked again, and this time Brunson opted for a three-pointer.
At this point, two-pointers are no longer enough.
And it's almost one minute in.
Brunson knew exactly what this meant.
With Robinson's screen, Brunson finally found an opportunity, made a three-pointer, and drew a foul from Claxton who switched onto him.
"what……"
Brunson, who had been knocked down by Claxton, lay on the ground and yelled at Claxton.
Benxi's eyes widened, and he went to the referee's side, covering his mouth as he said, "Referee, he yelled at someone, that's a technical foul."
The referee glanced at Benci and then left.
Benxi had a look on his face as if he had eaten shit.
What does this mean? Brunson got away with the same thing, but I got a technical foul?
Are you targeting me?
Do you think I'm easy to bully?
"Watch your defense! Why didn't you mark Randle just now?" Nash shouted to Ben West from the sidelines.
Bensey nodded, then his eyes blazed as he searched for his target, Randall.
Swish!
Brunson scores the penalty.
A score of four points was achieved.
The score was 112 to 105, and the gap narrowed again.
And now, a minute has officially passed.
Thibodeau yelled "Defense!" at the players on the court.
but……
Wang Xiucheng jumped as soon as he crossed the center circle, stepping on the logo.
Brunson had already jumped with all his might, and he didn't care about risking a fifth foul.
But the ball still fell into the net with the precision of a guided missile.
"Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" activated!
115:105.
Wang Xiucheng held up three fingers with a smug look and stepped back towards the Knicks' bench.
Thibodeau called a timeout.
There are 54 seconds left in the game.
The Knicks were still down by ten points, and he knew it would be difficult to catch up, but he still wanted to give it a try.
"Shoot three-pointers, don't think about anything else, just shoot when you have the chance..."
With 54 seconds left, the Knicks will inevitably choose to shoot a three-pointer.
Nash knew this well, so he replaced Claxton with the faster Royce O'Neal.
This timeout was very short, and there was no cheerleading performance; the game resumed quickly.
The Knicks inbound the ball from the center line.
Brunson received the ball, and instead of Wang Xiucheng, he was being defended by Benci.
As a 208cm tall player, Benciunas' defensive ability is easily overlooked.
Brunson was dribbled twice but still couldn't find a shooting opportunity.
Seeing that Randall had space in the bottom corner, Brunson passed the ball to him.
Snapped!
Wang Xiucheng, who was marking Hart in the paint, suddenly turned around and reached out to swat the ball away.
With a quick step, Wang Xiucheng caught the basketball and immediately rushed out.
Brunson tried to grab Wang Xiucheng, but Benxi blocked him firmly.
Wang Xiucheng easily scored with a powerful dunk, netting two points.
Then, Wang Xiucheng shouted at Brunson, who was coming back to serve, "With me here, you can't win!"
Ben, standing some distance away, glared and walked over to the referee, covering his mouth as he said, "Wang yelled at Brunson, that's a technical foul..."
The referee glanced at Benci, then turned and left!
Once again ignored, Benxi felt as if the sky had fallen!
Why did I only get a T, while everyone else was fine?
Why do I feel like you're all targeting me?
The game is still going on, but in reality, the Knicks have little chance left.
When the final whistle blew, the Nets, playing at home, defeated the Knicks 117-108.
The Nets won the first game of the first round of the playoffs.
Two days later, the Nets will play the Knicks in their second playoff game at this same venue.
The two head coaches shook hands in greeting, but the players, especially the Knicks players, were not in the mood for it and headed straight to the locker room almost immediately.
Only Wang Xiucheng jogged over to the Knicks' bench and hugged Rose, who was no longer even playing.
"Well played," Rose said.
"Thank you," Wang Xiucheng replied, then walked towards the Nets' bench.
"Hey kid, not bad. You even got a triple-double today. That floater from beyond the three-point line was also fantastic."
Stallone stood on the sidelines and spoke to Wang Xiucheng, who happened to be passing by.
Stallone's three daughters were still whispering to each other, seemingly not yet having reached a final agreement.
"Old man, just wait until I win the championship, then think carefully about which daughter you want to marry to me!"
