Chapter 201 Doncic's Intense Fighting Spirit
Chapter 201 Doncic's Intense Fighting Spirit
Upon hearing this, Gracie frowned, remained silent, and simply moved away from Doncic.
Those two guys are really going to keep going.
Unexpectedly, Doncic wasn't done yet and wanted to follow up and get to the bottom of things.
Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng had already taken his free throw.
One of the two free throws was made.
The second free throw bounced off the rim.
McGee grabbed the rebound and was about to pass it to Doncic beyond the three-point line when he saw Wang Xiucheng move into the middle of Doncic's path.
So he took two steps before passing the ball to Doncic, who came over to receive it.
Doncic went to the frontcourt and, using McGee's screen, attempted another three-pointer, but unfortunately, it missed this time.
Durant grabbed the rebound and immediately threw the ball away.
Wang Xiucheng and Doncic turned around almost simultaneously, but by the time Doncic finished turning and was about to accelerate, Wang Xiucheng had already taken a big step forward.
Doncic instinctively reached out to grab Wang Xiucheng, but thankfully he pulled his hand back at the last moment.
There was no defender in front of Wang Xiucheng, so a foul at this point would result in a severe penalty.
Wang Xiucheng rushed out, retrieved the basketball from the sideline, crossed the center line, and without adjusting at all, shot the ball at an almost angled angle beyond the three-point line.
Swish!
The basketball spun and fell into the net.
The "Guaranteed Three-Point Shot Card" is now active.
The Nets led 131-124, a five-point advantage.
There were only 11 seconds left.
Kidd immediately called the last timeout and set up a three-point shot play.
The entire stadium was on its feet, even old Vimy stood up shakily, eager to know the outcome of that final goal.
With a thud, Doncic, after the timeout, still missed the shot.
Seeing Claxton grab the rebound, Doncic and the Mavericks knew the game was over, so they didn't foul.
Claxton tossed the basketball high into the air, and the referee blew the final whistle.
The Nets defeated the Mavericks 131-124 at home.
Nash breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines and hugged Kidd who came over.
"That kid is really good."
"Your kid is pretty good too."
The two were playing a riddle game, neither mentioning a name, yet both knew who the other was referring to.
Fans who were thoroughly enjoying the game applauded the players on the field.
The players from both sides began to shake hands.
Doncic walked over right after shaking hands with Brock, who had a really cool hairstyle.
Before she even arrived, her voice rang out: "Who do you think Gladys thinks is more handsome?"
"what do you mean?"
Wang Xiucheng asked, puzzled.
Wang Xiucheng didn't expect Doncic to have such a strong competitive spirit.
He asked this question because he had asked Gladys the same question during his time with the Rockets, when they played against the Warriors.
Gracie's response was that she was handsome.
Curry shared this anecdote after the game, and naturally Doncic found out about it too.
"It's nothing, let's go ask." Doncic seemed to care a lot about the question, and actually walked towards Gracie in front of the scorer's table in the distance.
While talking to her colleagues, Gracie caught sight of the two guys coming again out of the corner of her eye, so she spoke up from a distance.
"That's enough for you two, or next time I see you, I'll give you a T right at the start."
As a referee, threatening a player in public like that should have caused a great deal of controversy.
But unfortunately, nobody cares about this at this time.
When O'Neal, who was about to finish work, saw this scene, he immediately carried the camera to the court and pointed it at Gracie.
Wouldn't that boost the show's ratings?
What about those five or four embarrassing shows? Can they be as good as this?
"We have a problem..."
Before Doncic could even speak, Gracie immediately said, "No problem at all. The game is over, it's over. Get out of my sight right now."
When Gracie saw the camera and O'Neal's amused smile, she became quite furious.
Doncic could only shrug.
As if he had thought of something, Doncic's eyes suddenly lit up.
The next moment, Doncic turned to Wang Xiucheng and said, "By the way, I also ordered a Hellfire. How much did yours cost?"
Wang Xiucheng was taken aback again upon hearing this. This fat man really cared a lot about winning against him.
Why have I never heard anyone say before that Doncic has such a strong competitive drive?
Last year, when he was playing for the Houston Rockets, there was a home game against the Mavericks, and Wang Xiucheng drove his custom Infernal to the arena, which Jenner had bought for him.
Unexpectedly, Doncic saw it.
At that moment, Doncic was so drooling with envy.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, he ordered one for himself.
“My car was a gift from a friend; he said it cost 25 yuan,” Wang Xiucheng said after a moment’s thought.
"Hahaha." Doncic, upon hearing this, happily put his arm around Wang Xiucheng's shoulder and laughed heartily, "My car cost 29, hahaha..."
Doncic was very happy, finally able to outmaneuver Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng could only force a smile, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally won a game back, otherwise it might have been over in no time today.
Not far away, Sylvester Stallone was chatting with other celebrities, while his three daughters stood there, all looking in the direction of Wang Xiucheng and Doncic.
"Sister, you go."
"I won't go, you go."
"You promised you'd go."
"I'm sorry, you should go."
"We agreed that whoever lost the rock-paper-scissors game would go, but you broke your promise."
The three girls were talking with their heads down and their faces slightly flushed.
In the end, no one moved.
It wasn't until Sylvester Stallone turned around and told them to leave that the three girls sighed in disappointment and had no choice but to leave the stadium with their father.
Penguin Live Room.
Wang Meng read the data aloud as usual.
“杜兰特37分5助攻,王修承31分13助攻,还有4个篮板和2个盖帽,其中一个是给了东契奇。”
"On the other side, Doncic scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, which is also Doncic's first triple-double of the season."
"What do Teacher Yang Yi and Coach Wang have to say?"
Yang Yi didn't speak, but glanced at Wang Shipeng, who was visiting the live broadcast room for the first time this season.
Wang Shipeng cleared his throat: "This match perfectly illustrates why one plus one is greater than two."
"Doncic played very well, with 14 assists, the highest in the game, and 11 rebounds. He was very well-rounded."
"But the Nets have two players like that. When Doncic is resting, it's hard for the other players on the court to withstand the impact from Wang Xiucheng or Durant."
"The Nets' two stars combined for 67 points and 18 assists. Even if I were to go it alone, I would still be better than you."
"I also have to praise Xiao Wang. His free throw shooting has improved significantly this season. He made 11 of 16 free throws in this game. He must have put in a lot of effort in the summer."
Yang Yi then continued, taking advantage of Wang Shipeng's topic, "We saw that Wang Xiucheng had 16 free throws in this game, and Doncic also had 13 free throws, which shows that both of them are attacking players."
"Of course, they were up against Gladys today. If it had been a different referee, they probably wouldn't have had so many free throws."
Wang Meng and Wang Shipeng both laughed upon hearing this.
The alliance is clearly up to something today, going to extremes for ratings, especially for ratings in China.
"I also want to give the Mavericks some advice. No matter how strong Doncic is, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything in the current league where super teams are forming. If you don't want to waste Doncic's prime years, you must bring in another star player, or at least an All-Star level player, to share the pressure on Doncic."
"Excuse me for interrupting, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zeng are ready for the interview. We'll switch the camera to the front shortly..."
Meng Chao, who had specially worn a pink dress today, stood nervously next to Wang Xiucheng.
She wondered if Wang Xiucheng would find it offensive that she was wearing clothes of this color at her age.
This led to her standing next to Wang Xiucheng, yet not daring to look at him even once.
Upon hearing the prompt in his earpiece, Meng Chao's expression immediately returned to normal, and he then looked at Wang Xiucheng.
With a slight tremor in his voice, Meng Chao's eyes sparkled: "Congratulations to the Nets on winning this game against the Mavericks. Xiao Wang, what's your take on today's performance?"
As if anticipating something, Mengchao slightly shifted the hand holding the microphone.
The next moment, Wang Xiucheng's big hand gripped the microphone, along with Meng Chao's little finger: "Today's game was very tough. Doncic is one of the best young players in the league. There are so many things I can learn from him. If my teammates hadn't been standing behind me, I wouldn't have been able to score these points when facing Doncic."
After giving a very official answer, Wang Xiucheng released his hand.
This made Mengchao feel like something was drifting away from him.
She knew she couldn't keep asking Wang Xiucheng, so she asked Zeng Fanbo another question.
Zeng Fanbo's answer was even more official than Wang Xiucheng's.
Meng Chao put the microphone away. "One last question: are you settling in well in New York?"
Mengchao didn't know why he asked that question.
She had completely forgotten the questions she had prepared in advance, but ending the interview like this would be too perfunctory.
Wang Xiucheng laughed upon hearing this, and grasped the microphone and Meng Chao's hand again, saying, "It's alright, the weather is similar to Yanjing, but as you know, the food is indeed a bit difficult."
Meng Chao's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, but the next moment, when Wang Xiucheng's hand left his, that feeling of emptiness came back.
"Alright, thank you both for the interview." Meng Chao forced himself to compose himself and ended the interview.
"This concludes the interview from the scene. Now, let's hand it over to the teachers in the live broadcast room."
Seeing the cameraman give an OK sign, Meng Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly turned around and saw that Wang Xiucheng had already arrived at the players' tunnel and was signing autographs for the fans.
Meng Chao's eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind.
……
With all the games concluded today, the league office later released the Players of the Week.
Lillard and Tatum were named Players of the Week.
In the Best Player nominations, both Wang Xiucheng and Durant were nominated.
This is also the first time Wang Xiucheng has received this honor of being nominated.
Wang Xiucheng played three games last week, averaging 31.6 points and 10.6 assists per game.
Durant averaged 35 points per game last week.
However, the Player of the Week award is based on the team's record, so the Nets lost two of their three games last week, so the Player of the Week award could not be given to a Nets player.
而利拉德上周场均可以得到34分5.3篮板4.3助攻,率领开拓者取得3胜0负的战绩,
塔图姆上周场均可以得到34.7分8.3篮板3助攻,率领凯尔特人同样取得3胜0负的战绩。
Therefore, both of them deserved to be named Player of the Week.
However, for Chinese fans, Wang Xiucheng's selection as Player of the Week is already very exciting.
In addition, he held his own against Doncic.
As a result, Wang Xiucheng's name remained on the trending topics list for an entire day.
This makes any young man who wants to buy trending searches avoid it.
……
After returning from the stadium, Wang Xiucheng led Ma Wei and the others directly to the restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel for dinner.
It was already past 10 p.m., and Wang Xiucheng and the others still hadn't eaten dinner.
Although the Barek Center also provides food, and even some Chinese dishes this season thanks to Wang Xiucheng.
But Wang Xiucheng still prefers to eat at the hotel.
After all, Ma Wei and the others hadn't eaten, and Wang Xiucheng couldn't just finish his own food and leave them to their fate.
Moreover, the Barek Center is full of muscular men.
But the Four Seasons Hotel does have young ladies.
Upon entering the restaurant, Wang Xiucheng immediately spotted Ayaka Miyoshi sitting in a corner, with unfinished food on the table, staring blankly at her phone.
He picked up his phone several times, seemingly hesitant to make a call.
Please make yourselves at home.
After dismissing the three men who had been humiliated, Wang Xiucheng went to Miyoshi Ayaka's place and sat down directly next to her.
The sudden appearance of the person startled Ayaka Miyoshi.
Just as she was about to stand up, Wang Xiucheng stopped her: "Who are you going to call? Your boyfriend?"
Upon hearing Wang Xiucheng's words, Ayaka Miyoshi seemed to have been stimulated and stood up, her face flushed with excitement: "I don't have a boyfriend."
Wang Xiucheng seemed somewhat disappointed upon hearing this: "I thought you were going to call me."
“I was going to call you…” Miyoshi Ayaka continued to explain, but the next moment she realized what Wang Xiucheng meant.
Calling your boyfriend means calling him?
Does Wang Xiucheng mean that he is her boyfriend?
Ayaka Miyoshi's face turned even redder, and even her neck turned red.
She could even hear her own heart pounding, like a drumbeat.
"Have you finished eating? Would you like some more?" Wang Xiucheng asked at this moment.
Ayaka Miyoshi nodded with her head bowed.
This time, Wang Xiucheng took her hand and led her to the food counter, where he picked up two plates and began to serve the food.
Miyoshi Ayaka kept her head down, letting Wang Xiucheng pull her along, but she held onto him tightly, as if afraid he would let go of her.
Miyoshi Ayaka didn't know why the food she usually ate was like a delicacy today.
Almost an hour later.
After the two finished their meal, Wang Xiucheng escorted Miyoshi Ayaka back to her hotel room.
She opened the door but didn't go in. Just like last time, Ayaka Miyoshi asked, "Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"
"No, I can't sleep after drinking coffee."
Wang Xiucheng's answer remained the same as last time.
Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Ayaka Miyoshi's face.
I thought today would be a different story, but it turned out to be the same.
"Okay." Ayaka Miyoshi said, bowing slightly, unable to hide her disappointment.
At least we held hands today; let's keep trying tomorrow.
Ayaka Miyoshi comforted herself.
Just when she thought Wang Xiucheng would leave again like last time, he suddenly took a step forward, lifted her chin when he was only a few centimeters away from her, and said, "If there is anything else to drink, I will go in."
Do you sell tea?
Wang Xiucheng shook his head.
"I also have a drink."
Wang Xiucheng continued to shake his head.
"That's all."
Wang Xiucheng chuckled: "Think about it again."
