Chapter 652 The Expected 3-Point Rain!
The pause is over, and the game has resumed.
I thought Westbrook would have the ball again this time, and Wang Xiucheng would continue to camp in the corner.
But as soon as the game resumed, Wang Xiucheng started to have the ball.
This left Celtics fans somewhat disoriented for a while.
Swish!
Towns received a pass from Wang Xiucheng and, without any feints, launched a high-arcing three-pointer over Horford.
Towns himself wasn't even sure if the shot would go in.
However, he saw the basketball go into the net.
Towns swung his fist and slapped Wang Xiucheng's hand.
After the Nets brought in Wang Xiucheng, their three-point barrage continued.
In fact, the hit rate is even higher.
Since Wang Xiucheng entered the game, the Nets have attempted 7 three-pointers and made 6 of them!
Furthermore, these six three-pointers were made by five different players.
In other words, every player on the Nets court made at least one basket.
This high shooting percentage and the abundance of three-pointers left the Celtics players scrambling on the court, completely unsure of who to guard.
As Wang Xiucheng retreated to his half of the field, he glanced at the score.
100 to 90, finally leading by 10 points.
There are 2 minutes left.
Wang Xiucheng is waiting!
Firstly, we wait until the last minute.
Secondly, it's also to wait for the Celtics' shooting percentage to drop.
Since he entered the game, the Nets' shooting percentage has been surprisingly high.
But the Celtics' shooting percentage was also frighteningly high.
This is why the Nets made six three-pointers but only led by 10 points.
With a loud thud, Jaylen Brown's three-pointer slammed into the rim.
Durant grabbed the rebound and, seeing that Wang Xiucheng was being guarded, he brought the ball up the court himself and found an opportunity to pass it to Westbrook.
Wang Xiucheng gave Jaylen Brown a push, and then passed by Durant.
Durant screened Jaylen Brown, and Wang Xiucheng received the ball from Westbrook.
Without any hesitation or hindrance, Wang Xiucheng pulled up and threw.
White, who was originally guarding Westbrook, took a step and then jumped up to block Wang Xiucheng.
White jumped from the back, and Wang Xiucheng took a single-shot shot, so how could he possibly block Wang Xiucheng's shot!
He was well aware of this, so he simply placed his palm over Wang Xiucheng's eyes, trying to obstruct Wang Xiucheng's vision.
In White's view, he had left enough space that he wouldn't actually run into Wang Xiucheng's eyes.
But then a scene appeared that left him speechless.
Wang Xiucheng did not fall as he had expected, but continued to rise!
This caused Wang Xiucheng's eyes to collide with White's hand that was covering his face.
"what……"
Wang Xiucheng screamed and fell backward as he threw the ball!
With a whistle, before Wang Xiucheng had even landed, the referee blew the whistle!
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net rang out.
"what……"
Wang Xiucheng collapsed to the ground with a thud, still screaming in pain!
After White landed, he held up his hands, not daring to move, his ears filled with Wang Xiucheng's pig-like screams!
Beep!
The referee blew his whistle three times, pointed at White, and then made a gesture indicating a flagrant foul 1.
At this point, the referee made his ruling to the scorer's table.
The entire stadium fell silent, still trying to process what was happening.
"Fuck..." Mazura yelled at the referee on the sidelines, "He's faking it, he did it on purpose, he did it on purpose..."
beep!
The referee blew the whistle again, giving Mazura a technical foul for his inappropriate remarks!
Mazura quieted down and stopped arguing with the referee. Instead, he looked behind him at the assistant coach who was in charge of reviewing the replays and waited for his opinion.
The assistant coach shook his head.
This is to tell Mazura that there is no need for a challenge.
The replay shows that it was White who reached out and poked Wang Xiucheng in the eye!
Level 1 malicious intent already gives them a significant advantage.
Even if it's just a level two malicious offense, they could just kick him out.
"Fake..."
Mazura cursed again, but this time she cursed while looking down at the floor.
Inside the arena, although Wang Xiucheng was lying on the ground, Dillon Downs and others were standing in front of him.
Although the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, the three referees standing in the middle managed to keep the situation under control.
He blew the whistle and made a gesture indicating that he wanted to watch the replay.
Although Mazura did not challenge the call, it was still considered malicious, so the referee still had to review it.
It means, even in death, you'll understand why you died!
The scene from earlier was being replayed on the large screen in the dome.
White's hand did indeed hit Wang Xiucheng in the eye.
At this moment, no one cared whether Wang Xiucheng was rising or falling.
If you hit it, you hit it!
Although the replay was crystal clear, the fans at TD Stadium still booed loudly.
The boos weren't directed at Wang Xiucheng or White.
It's for the referee!
They are not against the verdict!
However, they cannot accept double standards!
Why were there no consequences for previous rulings that could damage the eyes?
For example, James' eyes.
Why was White's foul considered malicious today?
Wang Xiucheng was receiving treatment while sitting on the bench.
In fact, he had already closed his eyes beforehand, and although his eyes hurt a little now, it wasn't a big problem.
The team doctor shared the same opinion.
So after the referee made his decision, Wang Xiucheng returned to the field.
Wang Xiucheng's three-pointer went in.
However, White committed a flagrant foul, and Wang Xiucheng needs to take two additional free throws.
Including Mazura's technical foul, Wang Xiucheng needs to receive a total of three penalties.
Furthermore, the Nets will retain possession of the ball after making all three free throws.
This would be very damaging for the Celtics!
Swish!
Bang!
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made two of three free throws.
After making the free throw, Wang Xiucheng pointed to his eye at Durant, implying that his eye was injured and it was normal for him to miss.
The free throws for Mazura's technical foul should have been taken by Durant, since he has the highest free throw percentage on the team.
Durant smiled, not paying any attention, and went off the court to prepare to inbound the ball.
105:90.
Wang Xiucheng gave White a push, crossed over Westbrook, and received the serve.
After controlling the timing, Wang Xiucheng used a crossover dribble and, after switching onto Jaylen Brown, entered the paint from the left.
Wang Xiucheng, supporting Jaylen Brown, started to move with the ball, using one hand to push Brown's arm away and the other hand to throw the ball out.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
When the clock officially entered the one-minute mark, Wang Xiucheng successfully threw the ball.
Wang Xiucheng scored 7 consecutive points, extending the gap between the two sides to 17 points.
107 is better than 90!
"The King's time has come!"
Normally, the Celtics would try to run down the clock to prevent Wang Xiucheng from getting more opportunities to shoot.
But now that the Celtics are behind, they're only complaining about not having enough time.
Tatum quickly moved to the frontcourt, entered the paint, drew the defense, and then passed the ball to Jaylen Brown on the perimeter.
Wang Xiucheng was blocked by Horford, and Jaylen Brown immediately took a three-point shot.
Swish!
The ball goes in!
In just 8 seconds, the Celtics made a three-pointer.
Jaylen Brown immediately moved in front of Wang Xiucheng to prevent him from receiving the ball.
Wang Xiucheng showed no intention of receiving the ball; instead, he ran forward.
Towns passed the ball to Durant.
Horford immediately grabbed Durant, foul!
The Celtics resorted to fouling tactics in the final moments.
However, it was Durant who was about to take the free throw!
The Nets' player with the highest free throw percentage.
