Chapter 309 Jaylen Brown: Isn't this too shameless?
Tatum immediately bounced a pass to Jaylen Brown, aiming for a perfect dunk opportunity.
The two players are already very familiar with this kind of cooperation, and they use it two or three times in almost every game.
But this time, Wang Xiucheng, who had been following closely behind, lunged forward and intercepted the ball, passing it to Claxton in the paint.
For Wang Xiucheng, the "flaw" in this ball was too big, so big that he was embarrassed not to intercept it.
Claxton received the ball and immediately passed it to Thomas on the perimeter.
Thomas, like a wild horse, received the ball and charged forward without a care in the world.
He easily scored two points with a layup.
The Nets led 48-41, extending their lead to 7 points.
Mazura stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the technical table, her face grim.
As soon as Wang Xiucheng entered the game, the Nets forced a series of turnovers on their side and then scored on fast breaks.
It seems that whenever Wang Xiucheng is present, the other basketball players are like completely different people.
Durant's isolation plays in the first six minutes were due to the limited scoring efficiency of the other players, forcing him to take on isolation plays.
However, Wang Xiucheng sometimes plays singles, but what he does more often is to connect the team.
"A player who can change his teammates."
Mazura once again thought of Wang Xiucheng's comments about the Uduk team.
Mazura stopped thinking about it, because her team had already started attacking.
Tatum passed the ball to Horford, who, after a screen, bounced out and finally made the shot.
The point difference between the two teams has returned to 4 points.
The game started at a fast pace.
The first half was about to end.
Durant, who had just returned to the court, received a pass from Wang Xiucheng and scored a three-pointer.
This basket put the Nets up by 7 points again.
During this period, the point difference between the two teams remained between 3 and 7 points.
Seven points seems to be a hurdle for the Nets, one that's hard to overcome.
Of course, this is also a hurdle for the Celtics.
The Celtics were on offense. Jaylen Brown brought the ball up the court, used a screen to get into the paint, and found an opportunity to dunk.
Jaylen Brown, who had at least two balls stolen by Wang Xiucheng, roared angrily towards the baseline.
"what……"
call!
The basketball flew right past Jaylen Brown's face.
Jaylen Brown's pre-arranged move was interrupted again.
Tatum, who had been anticipating Wang Xiucheng's fast break, moved a step ahead and reached out to intercept the ball.
In his view, he could intercept the ball, or at least clear it out of bounds.
Snapped!
Sure enough, the basketball hit Tatum's palm.
Tatum's eyes lit up, and he broke it!
However, just as Tatum was feeling pleased, he discovered that Wang Xiucheng had somehow managed to brake and appeared behind him.
The basketball bounced off Tatum's palm and then flew upwards.
Wang Xiucheng scooped up the ball, then, without even looking, tossed it behind his head.
Durant has run to a position parallel to Wang Xiucheng.
Seeing the ball in front of him, Durant used his long legs to maneuver and finally controlled the net under the basket, easily scoring two points.
59:52.
The Nets' lead has been restored to 7 points.
There were 33 seconds left in the first half.
All the fans stood up to watch the game, eager to know what would happen in the final half minute.
Horford ran back to serve.
Jaylen Brown received the ball and then passed it to White, who came over to receive it.
White reached the attacking third and saw an opening created by Tatum and Horford's overlapping runs, so he passed the ball to them.
With 26 seconds left, Tatum wasn't going to waste any more time.
After all, it's not easy to find an opening.
So Tatum made no adjustments and took an open three-pointer.
Bang!
Swish!
The basketball hit the rim first, and then, with a bit of luck, went into the net.
The Celtics scored three points, bringing the score back to a four-point difference.
There are 23 seconds left.
The Nets can run a full offensive game and leave the Celtics with no time to react.
"Watch out, defend!"
Mazura shouted.
The Celtics players immediately turned their attention to Wang Xiucheng.
Mazura was calling for defense, but it was a coded signal.
It means to sandwich.
As for who to double-team, naturally it's whoever has the ball.
Wang Xiucheng advanced the ball forward from the backcourt alone.
All the other basketball players quickly moved to the frontcourt and positioned themselves in the corners to create space.
Although Jaylen Brown was constantly covering for Wang Xiucheng, he was extremely restrained in reaching out and did not make any big moves.
Once in the attacking third, Wang Xiucheng controlled the ball with one hand, even slightly to the side, standing inside the logo, wasting time.
For Wang Xiucheng, with his "guaranteed three-point shot card," these three-pointers are a must-win.
Of course, it can't be covered up; that's the basic logic.
Wang Xiucheng was considering how to make better use of this opportunity.
Drawing a foul to score 4 points is naturally Wang Xiucheng's first choice.
And this foul would have been best drawn on Jaylen Brown.
He's already committed two fouls. If he has three fouls, he'll be hesitant and timid on defense in the second half.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiucheng glanced at the time; there were still 7 seconds left.
You can move now!
Wang Xiucheng wanted to trick Jaylen Brown into giving him money.
He suddenly accelerated and ran towards the corner, and Durant also ran over from the corner.
The two seem to be about to make a cross-position run.
When Tatum, who was following Durant, saw the two running together, he immediately prepared to double-team them.
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng suddenly made a sharp turn and rushed towards the inside line.
Upon seeing this, Jaylen Brown immediately followed Wang Xiucheng into the paint.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly slammed the ball together and lifted it up.
Jaylen Brown's mind was instantly torn between two conflicting thoughts.
Should we try covering it?
Wang Xiucheng should have taken a three-pointer in the last minute.
Is this a trap?
After a moment's thought, Jaylen Brown decided not to reach out and slowed down, shifting his position slightly.
He was afraid that Wang Xiucheng would stage an accident to extort money.
Wang Xiucheng was, after all, notorious!
Just as Jaylen Brown finished making those moves, Wang Xiucheng indeed took the ball and began to step back.
Jaylen Brown secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had guessed correctly.
But the next moment, Jaylen Brown realized something was wrong.
Wang Xiucheng did not step back!
Instead, it's a sidestep!
Wang Xiucheng didn't step back towards the three-point line, but rather towards the side, which is the ground where he was standing.
There was no time to dodge; Jaylen Brown watched helplessly as Wang Xiucheng crashed into him at an unbelievable angle.
Then Wang Xiucheng shouted "Ah!"
But Wang Xiucheng's actions were not over yet.
After colliding with Jaylen Brown, Wang Xiucheng used the force of the wall to step back again, reaching just outside the three-point line.
Wang Xiucheng immediately threw the ball toward the basket.
Then he dramatically fell onto the floor.
He continued shouting under his breath.
"what……"
beep!
The referee's whistle blew.
Swish!
The sound of a basketball swishing through the net rang out at the same time.
Jaylen Brown, who stood rooted to the spot and didn't even dare to breathe, stared blankly at Wang Xiucheng, who was rolling around on the floor.
Aren't you shameless!
