NBA's Chinese King: The more girlfriends I have, the stronger I become.

Chapter 91 The Turbulent Times Approaching in Chinese Sports

It's no wonder Yang Yi was so excited.

Over the years, including Yao Ming, no Chinese player has ever achieved a triple-double.

Jeremy Lin did receive that award, but at most he was a player of Chinese descent, not a player from China.

Wang Xiucheng is a true Chinese player with impeccable credentials.

Not only Yang Yi, but Wang Shipeng was also excited and wanted to say something.

But Yang Yi's mouth never stopped talking, leaving Wang Shipeng no chance to get a word in edgewise.

"You call Porter Jr. the cornerstone, and Wood the future of the Rockets? Do you even watch basketball? You're just spouting nonsense for a little bit of clicks?"

"Sometimes I have dreams at night, do you know what I dream about?"

"I dreamt of the Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady era, when Wang Xiucheng was the point guard for that Rockets team, and then the Rockets won the championship."

"When I woke up that day, I found that my pillowcase was wet."

Yang Yi's voice suddenly turned low: "My tears are not for the Rockets, the Rockets don't deserve it. It's because our Chinese team desperately needs a point guard like this."

Taking advantage of Yang Yi's moment to catch his breath, Wang Shipeng finally interjected: "I want to say something that people don't want to hear."

Wang Shipeng said, "We won both of our World Cup qualifiers against Japan. I heard someone within the national team say that the national team doesn't need Wang Xiucheng at all."

Wang Shipeng looked like he'd seen a ghost. "I knew our national team was in chaos, but I didn't know it was this chaotic. Is this the kind of thing a professional would say?"

"This Japanese team is at best a third-tier team. These players are not qualified to represent Japan in real competitions."

"In other words, they didn't take us seriously and just sent out some random players for fun. We didn't expect that we would believe that Japan was such a low-level team."

"Yuta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura from Japan are currently playing in the NBA."

"Moreover, my friend in Japan told me that a very impressive player has emerged in Japan's B-League. He is young, very fast, has excellent ball handling skills, and is accurate with three-pointers. However, this player named Yuki Kawamura is only 1.7 meters tall."

Wang Shipeng laughed: "1.7 meters tall? Here, you don't even need to touch the ball before the coach tells you to go home, that you're not suited for basketball."

"Now that Chairman Yao has resigned, to be honest, Chinese basketball looks like a dark place in my eyes."

The previously lively atmosphere in the live stream room suddenly became tense.

Fortunately, Wang Meng said at this moment, "Wang Xiucheng is here for an interview, let's go take a look."

Yang Yi and Wang Shipeng were filled with renewed energy at this moment.

Yes, they also have Wang Xiucheng!

You have Japanese players playing in the NBA, and so do we!

The camera quickly switched to the live stream.

Wang Xiucheng was standing on the sidelines wearing an Anta vest, while Meng Chao held a microphone, waiting somewhat helplessly.

Upon receiving the notification, Meng Chao eagerly looked at Wang Xiucheng: "First of all, congratulations to the Rockets on their 4-game winning streak, which is also the team's first away win. Then, congratulations to Xiao Wang on achieving your first career triple-double and breaking the record for the youngest triple-double winner. Is there anything you want to say?"

Wang Xiucheng smiled first, and then said, "This is all thanks to my teammates. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to get a triple-double, and we wouldn't have been able to win. Tate scored 32 points today, which is almost the same as Alexander of the Thunder. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to win."

"There are four home games coming up. Are the Rockets still confident of winning?" Meng Chao continued to ask, his eyes fixed on Wang Xiucheng's face, his throat involuntarily swallowing.

"Of course we want to win, but Jalen Green still needs to rest for a while. He's very important to us. We also don't know how Porter Jr. and Wood are doing with their injuries. These are all difficulties, but the Rockets are one of the youngest teams in the league, and our offensive firepower is the strongest in the league..."

Before Wang Xiucheng could finish speaking, two bottles of water were suddenly poured over his head, which almost made him swear.

Wang Xiucheng shook his head and looked over. Shen Jing and Christopher were each carrying an empty bottle and running towards the players' tunnel.

Wang Xiucheng smiled helplessly, wiped his wet hair with a towel, and then saw that Meng Chao next to him had also been affected, with half of his long hair wet.

So Wang Xiucheng put the towel over Meng Chao's head again, winked at the camera, and chased after him toward the players' tunnel.

The interview was over, and Mengchao's eyes were practically watering as he smelled the scent on the towel.

The game between the Rockets and the Thunder is over, but its impact is only just beginning.

During the post-match press conference, Tate directly named Wang Xiucheng more than once.

"This was one of my best nights, Wang kept feeding me the ball."

"We'll head back to Houston tonight, get a good night's sleep, and recharge for the game against the Magic."

"It seems like Green needs a break. I think Green is the second best rookie this year, Wang Xiucheng is first, and Shen Jing is third."

"Don't compare me to Wang. I was also an unselected player, haha."

Throughout the interview, Tate made no secret of his admiration for Wang Xiucheng, which made the reporters suspect a possible coup by the Rocket Forces.

For Chinese fans, Tate's interview did not cause much of a stir.

Throughout the day, Wang Xiucheng's name remained on the trending topics list, and the gathering places for fans such as Zhibo8, Hupu, and Dongqiudi were as lively as during the Chinese New Year.

It wasn't just Wang Xiucheng who was being discussed; even what Wang Shipeng said during the live broadcast was being brought up and discussed by fans.

In the afternoon, a piece of news suddenly caused an uproar in the Chinese sports world.

Men's national football team head coach Li Tie has resigned.

There have been rumors circulating these days that the national anti-corruption agency will be stationed at the General Administration. What is the connection between Li Tie's resignation at this time and this matter?

Given Yao Ming's resignation in the basketball world, these things can't possibly be unrelated, right?

Suddenly, a storm was brewing in the Chinese sports world, as if an earthquake was about to strike.

……

Houston.

Sugar City, Wang Xiucheng's newly purchased house.

"Cut it shorter, just like before."

Wang Xiucheng sat in front of the mirror, wearing a large scarf specially prepared for haircuts around his neck.

Behind him was Ma Xiaoxuan, holding a hair clipper.

It has been more than a month since Wang Xiucheng last got a haircut, and his hair has grown to ear length.

This made Wang Xiucheng, who had always kept his hair short, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Cutting hair at home has always been Wang Xiucheng's habit.

Because getting a haircut in the US is too expensive; even the cheapest and most remote place costs $20.

In Chinatown, haircuts by Chinese people are slightly cheaper, but still cost $15, which is ridiculously expensive for Wang Xiucheng, an international student.

So Wang Xiucheng bought a Chinese-made hair clipper in Chinatown and had Ma Xiaoxuan do it herself when she got home.

Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng only has short hair, and it doesn't require any special skills; all you need to do is use a hair clipper to twist his head a few times.

Ma Xiaoxuan yawned, turned on the hair clippers, and began to cut Wang Xiucheng's hair.

Gradually, Ma Xiaoxuan's eyes changed.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the changes in Wang Xiucheng.

Compared to when Wang Xiucheng first came to his home four years ago, the current Wang Xiucheng is undeniably full of masculine charm.

She hadn't quite understood why so many female fans would fall for a Chinese player.

But after watching a few of Wang Xiucheng's matches live, she found herself growing to like this young man more and more.

He couldn't help but touch Wang Xiucheng's ear, which made Wang Xiucheng instinctively shrink his neck.

Ma Xiaoxuan immediately withdrew her hand and began to cut Wang Xiucheng's hair.

A few minutes later, Wang Xiucheng had his neat and clean short hair back, and then, as if no one else was around, he took off his coat and went straight into the bathroom.

Ma Xiaoxuan's face turned a little red.

When Wang Xiucheng first arrived in the United States, he was a little embarrassed, but after Ma Wei demonstrated several times, Wang Xiucheng no longer treated Ma Xiaoxuan as an outsider.

"This guy." Ma Xiaoxuan shook her head helplessly and picked up the stray hairs on the ground.

……

Two days later, the Rockets will host the Magic.

To the fans' surprise, both Porter Jr. and Wood, who left the game due to injury, returned to the team today.

What was even more unexpected was that neither of them were in the starting lineup, but rather substitutes.
