Chapter 331 Nash: What should I say?
On the 20th.
Barclays Center.
The Nets will host last season's champion Warriors today.
Despite being the defending champions, the Warriors' situation is not the same as the Nets'.
After Wang Xiucheng joined the Nets this season, and after two months of integration, they have already ranked second in the Eastern Conference and just defeated the Celtics, who are ranked first in the East, and have now won 13 consecutive games.
They are just one game away from achieving the Nets' franchise-best 14-game winning streak.
The Warriors currently have a winning percentage below 50%, with only 15 wins and 17 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference.
At this point, both teams had already begun warming up, and O'Neal and Barkley continued to commentate on the game.
Wang Xiucheng made a series of three-pointers and then returned to the bench.
Two female TNT staff members immediately came over and installed a microphone for Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Hsiu-Cheng will be using a TNT microphone during today's match, and his remarks during the match will be recorded and broadcast.
This is Wang Xiucheng's first time competing with a microphone.
He has always been against wearing microphones because he sometimes unconsciously uses Chinese swear words.
Additionally, Wang Xiucheng would sometimes talk to Zeng on the bench.
In particular, it would be inappropriate if discussions about Watanabe's technical characteristics were included in recordings or even broadcast.
But today, O'Neal told Wang Xiucheng that TNT is making a video about the future of the league and needs to collect material from Wang Xiucheng.
Not only Wang Xiucheng, but also Doncic, Haliburton, Edwards, Morant and others will be playing with mics these days.
Wang Xiucheng then found it difficult to refuse.
Two fairly pretty female staff members groped Wang Xiucheng's body for a long time.
Wang Xiucheng didn't know if they did it on purpose or not, but it took them almost ten minutes to finish, and the competition was about to start.
"Go, Wang!"
Bruno shouted from the side.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at him.
Bruno, who rarely watched live games before, has been following Wang Xiucheng to almost every game lately, whether it's an away or home game.
It would be fine if he came by himself.
Jennie Kim, Jisoo Kim, Rosé Park, and Lisa were also brought by him.
I estimate he's spent quite a bit on front-row tickets during this period.
It seems that the company's senior management is quite happy to see Bruno taking these four people to various occasions.
Wang Xiucheng came over and shook hands with Bruno.
Then he shook hands with Jennie and the others one by one.
Wang Xiucheng scratched Jin Zhen's hand, causing Jin Zhen to hurriedly sit down.
When shaking hands with Jin Zhi, Wang Xiucheng smiled, but gripped the handshake rather firmly.
Jin Zhi seemed to realize immediately that Wang Xiucheng was doing it on purpose, so she blushed and quickly sat down.
She promised Wang Xiucheng she would consider their relationship, but it had been a long time since she returned from Qatar, and she was still confused.
Wang Xiucheng is great; he's handsome, rich, and one of the most popular young players in the NBA.
But the only thing that made Jin Zhi hesitate was that Wang Xiucheng was Chinese.
Her own company and fans didn't approve of her dating.
If they were to find another Chinese person, the opposition would probably be even stronger.
But she really has no resistance to handsome boys who are athletic.
"So annoying!" Kim Ji muttered.
"What's wrong?" Jin Zhen asked from the side.
"It's nothing." Jin Zhi shook her head and stopped talking.
The players from both teams have already entered the field.
After shaking hands to greet each other, the competition officially began.
The Nets' starting lineup is Wang Xiucheng, Durant, Royce O'Neal, Simmons, and Claxton.
Benxi, who had been recovering from his injury for a long time, has finally returned.
And he started as the point guard.
Although he's called a point guard, with Wang Xiucheng on the court, Ben West is essentially a center who can handle the ball.
Compared to the well-equipped Nets, the Warriors seemed somewhat lackluster today.
Not only is Curry out, but Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins are also unavailable to play.
For the Warriors, the lineup includes Draymond Green, Poole, Cuminga, Looney, and Moody.
It can be said that Draymond Green led a lineup of veterans and youngsters to face the formidable Nets.
However, this competition proved to be far more difficult than Draymond Green and Steve Kerr had anticipated.
From the jump ball onwards, the Nets controlled possession. Wang Xiucheng brought the ball to the frontcourt and unreasonably took his first three-pointer. After it went in, the Warriors never saw the Nets' taillights again.
The Warriors missed several shots in a row, allowing the Nets to launch fast breaks, and they almost always managed to score.
The Nets started with a 15-0 run in just three minutes.
This score completely stunned Kerr!
Curry and Klay, sitting in the back row of the bench, looked at each other with expressions of utter disbelief.
Kerr had no choice but to call a timeout after a little over three minutes.
Curry, dressed casually, also walked around the chair to the front row and stood with his team.
"Hey everyone, wake up! This is the regular season, not the preseason. What are you all doing? Fuck!"
Cole swore, which was unusual for him, showing just how dissatisfied he was with the situation.
On the other side, however, was a completely different scene.
Nash stood on the court with his arms crossed, watching his players.
What should I say?
do you need?
After beating last year's champion Warriors like this, what else do I need to say?
Nash didn't know what to say, but Wang Xiucheng needed to speak.
He brought a microphone today, and his responsibility as a microphone user is to talk a lot.
This was something O'Neal had told him beforehand.
"Brothers, you did a great job." Wang Xiucheng gave each of them a high-five. "When we get back, keep throwing them down."
"What the hell is this championship? Did you even ask Brooklyn?" Wang Xiucheng continued loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their backs!
If anyone else heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off.
However, when these words came from Wang Xiucheng's mouth, it was a completely different story.
Last year's Finals team, the Celtics, just lost to the Nets, who have Wang Xiucheng on their roster.
Meanwhile, the team's key player, Tatum, is still recovering and unable to play.
According to reports from Woj, Shams, Windhorst, and others, Tatum seems to have other mental health issues.
Tatum needs to rest for two to three more games and will not be able to return until after Christmas.
This is equivalent to having rested for more than 20 days.
After the fight, Wang Xiucheng was suspended for three games, and Tatum was involuntarily suspended for 20 days. For the Celtics, this was a huge loss.
The Warriors, who defeated the Celtics last year, should not have been swept 15-0 on the road, even without Curry and Klay!
But this is the Nets this year!
A team that can no longer be ignored by anyone.
"Get on stage!"
Seeing that the time had come, Wang Xiucheng shouted and stood up.
Immediately, Durant, Ben West, Royce O'Neal, and Claxton also stood up and followed Wang Xiucheng onto the court.
Nash put his hands behind his back and then returned to his seat.
I don't think I really said anything!
That's not good. If Boss Cai sees it, it will make it seem like I'm just coasting along.
During the next pause, I have to say something, no matter what.
The match has resumed.
The Warriors finally scored two points on this offensive possession.
Cole finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The team is finally back to normal.
But what happened next nearly drove Cole crazy.
Under Wang Xiucheng's orchestration, the Nets' three-pointers kept coming.
On the defensive end, with Claxton, Ben West, and Durant all of similar size guarding them, the Warriors still managed to miss several shots in a row.
The Nets went on another 8-2 run.
All things considered, the Nets had already built a terrifying 23-4 lead at the start of the game.
Not only have fans never seen a game like this before, but even Kerr has never seen one.
Left with no other option, Kerr had to call another timeout.
This is not the time to hesitate to pause.
Why pause now and wait to bring it back to San Francisco?
"Are you guys still asleep? The other team is the Nets, the team that got swept by the Celtics last year, while we are the champions who beat the Celtics!"
"Everyone, calm down."
Kerr had to make extensive rotations in hopes of changing the current situation.
Meanwhile, Nash, who had originally decided to say something, stood on the sidelines and froze again.
With a score of 23 to 4, what can I say?
