Chapter 256 James: With Wang Xiucheng's waist, I have more than two sons!
This time, Beverley went to the baseline to ask for the ball and gave Reeves a look that said, "Go make a run."
Reeves glanced at Wang Xiucheng, who was waiting for him at the center line, and then ran forward.
As Reeves settled into his position on the wing and considered whether to slide to the baseline, Beverley, with the ball, came toward him.
So Reeves had no choice but to go up and provide cover for Beverley.
Joe Harris, who was defending Beverley, quickly found himself in the same position as Wang Xiucheng and Reeves.
The area became congested instantly.
Wang Xiucheng wanted to take two steps back and move away a little, but suddenly Beverly bent down and rushed forward, elbowing Wang Xiucheng in the chest.
Wang Xiucheng felt a sense of suffocation and had no choice but to squat down, clutching his stomach.
Beverley took advantage of the opening to drive into the paint and hit a long two-pointer.
After making the shot, Beverley even pumped his fist.
"Hey, are you blind? Didn't you see I fouled?"
At this moment, Nash yelled at the referee on the sideline, and even waved his arm like Beverley had earlier.
Claxton and Joe Harris immediately surrounded Beverley and started hurling insults at him, starting with F.
Meanwhile, Daryl Sharp and Royce O'Neill came to check on Wang Xiucheng's condition.
The referee who was closest to the referee frowned slightly.
There were too many people just now, and the four of them were crammed together, so he really didn't see Beverly's movements.
If that was indeed an elbow strike, then it was a malicious foul.
But if he hadn't, and had instead committed a foul on Beverley, Beverley would have fouled out.
How should the referee report be written then?
The three referees gathered together and decided to review the replay one last time.
At this moment, the fans once again booed the referee.
The match was fragmented by the referee.
Wang Xiucheng, bent over, was helped back to the bench.
Beverley also returned to the bench and was talking to Christie next to him, as if he himself was also aggrieved.
It took Wang Xiucheng a while to feel better.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at Beverly, who was now obscured in the distance, and felt somewhat annoyed.
Having survived in the league for so many years at a height of 185cm, Beverley is a seasoned veteran.
The referee probably couldn't have seen the angle at which Beverley made his move.
Even cameras might not be able to capture it.
It seems I'm going to suffer this loss in silence.
The three referees watched for three minutes, reviewing almost every angle of the replay, but they just couldn't see the most crucial moment.
The four people huddled together, blocking out all angles.
The three referees discussed the matter and made their ruling.
Without a clear angle to determine if Beverley swung his elbow, it's impossible to determine whether Beverley committed a foul.
The original verdict is upheld.
The goal stands.
The Staples Center fans were naturally satisfied with the ruling and applauded the fair and just referee.
However, some Chinese fans disagreed and booed the referee.
The three referees also looked unhappy, pleasing neither side.
Northwest stood up abruptly, gave two thumbs-down, and booed the referee.
The other children also imitated the same movements in a very convincing manner.
This time, Kim Kardashian didn't intervene.
She didn't join in the booing, which was already quite restrained.
Without her father by her side, Lily-Rose Depp was like a completely different person.
She uttered an F-word at Beverly in the distance without any regard for her image, and was immediately shoved back into her chair by Jennie Kim.
"Can you please pay attention to your image?" Jennie Kim said to Lily Rose Depp.
She is an idol in South Korea, after all. If this scene were to be sent back to her, what kind of people would she befriend?
"That black guy is too much! He can't beat people in basketball, so he resorts to violence. He's not a real man at all," Lily Rose Depp kept cursing.
Jennie lowered her head helplessly and stopped trying to persuade her.
While Lily Rose Depp is indeed somewhat rebellious in her daily life, it's quite rare to see her so flamboyant in public today.
This clearly shows how angry Lily-Rose Depp was at this moment.
The pause has ended.
Nash glanced at Wang Xiucheng, intending to let him rest, but seeing that Wang Xiucheng had already stood up, he decided not to replace him.
Back on the court, the Nets inbound the ball.
After Wang Xiucheng received the ball, Beverley surprisingly closed in again.
Under the guise of wiping his sweat, Beverly whispered, "Rookie, you're still green."
Wang Xiucheng chuckled.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
It was probably to provoke him and force him to exchange his cards.
He already has 5 fouls. If he can get himself out of the game, then he can consider that he has completed his task of defending himself.
Wang Xiucheng did not answer Beverley, but suddenly accelerated to the right with the ball.
Beverly moved half a step to the right, and Wang Xiucheng switched his stance and charged to the left.
Beverley seemed to have anticipated this, changing direction and rushing to the left the moment Wang Xiucheng switched hands between his legs on the basketball.
But Wang Xiucheng suddenly turned around and circled around to Beverley's side, bringing the basketball directly in front of him with his left hand.
With a powerful shot forward, Wang Xiucheng instantly bypassed Beverley.
Beverley looked shocked and immediately turned around, only to see Wang Xiucheng had already entered the paint.
With a quick change of pace, Wang Xiucheng practically pinned Reeves, who was coming to help defend, to the ground. He stepped into the free-throw line and immediately jumped up.
The screeching sound of the floor and the friction of the sneakers filled the air as Wang Xiucheng raised the ball and flew towards the basket.
Davis abandoned Claxton, took a step forward, and flew towards Wang Xiucheng while raising his hands.
Just like the one we did in the first half.
If Wang Xiucheng doesn't want to get blocked, he has no choice but to pass the ball out, just like in the first half.
For example, Claxton behind him.
Or Joe Harris, who is left unguarded on the perimeter.
However, Wang Xiucheng, who jumped first, appeared to be even taller than Davis.
Just as their chests were about to collide, Wang Xiucheng suddenly started spinning in the air.
Sticking close to Davis, and using Davis's body as an axis, Wang Xiucheng almost instantly turned to Davis's side.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, Wang Xiucheng sent the basketball flying towards the floor.
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net, and the sounds of Wang Xiucheng and Davis landing, rang out almost simultaneously.
Wang Xiucheng, who jumped first, landed with Davis, and even spun around in the air.
Many gasps were heard from the audience, and even James held his head in disbelief that Wang Xiucheng's core strength was so great.
That mid-air turn just now wasn't just about staying airborne.
This requires extremely strong core strength to twist the body and support the subsequent layup motion.
James suddenly felt a pang of envy for Wang Xiucheng. If he had that kind of waist, he would have more than just two sons.
"This kid must have some Chinese secrets he hasn't told me yet." James instantly figured out why Wang Xiucheng had such a good back.
