Chapter 623: New record, 34 seconds and 13 minutes!
Shohei Ohtani stared at the score on the big screen, mouth agape.
Wang Xiucheng has already scored 9 points, but it seems this is not the end yet.
If Wang Xiucheng makes both free throws after the timeout, he will have 11 points!
That's fucking terrifying!
Was that Chinese person really human?
He now understands why Japan didn't qualify for last year's World Cup as the top Asian team.
With Wang Xiucheng's skill level, he could dominate in the NBA, let alone the World Cup where the skill levels vary greatly!
It's like he wouldn't accept it if the Chinese team replaced the Japanese team in the Olympic baseball competition.
Of course, there will be no baseball games at this year's Paris Olympics.
However, there will definitely be baseball games at the Los Angeles Olympics four years later, and he is confident that he can lead the Japanese team to win the championship.
This is also one of the reasons why Shohei Ohtani chose to stay in Los Angeles.
Four years from now, this will be his home ground.
While Shohei Ohtani was lost in his own imagination, the pause had already ended.
The cheers of the fans woke him up.
Wang Xiucheng tossed the towel to the uniform staff and went to the free throw line.
Oubre was substituted off, and Claxton came on in his place.
Clearly, this is for the rebound!
This also lets many fans know that the Nets have something in mind!
Of course, the Lakers knew what the Nets were thinking, so they also brought Hayes in at the same time.
Swish!
The first free throw was made.
This means that Wang Xiucheng had scored 10 points in the last minute of the second quarter.
Wang Xiucheng took a breath, flexed his wrists, and then looked up.
The referee knew Wang Xiucheng was ready, so he gave the basketball to Wang Xiucheng again.
I patted it, turned it around, and patted it again.
Even when James was protesting that Wang Xiucheng had taken too long, Wang Xiucheng made the free throw.
Bang!
The basketball bounced off the front edge of the rim and returned.
When the Nets brought Claxton in, while keeping Towns and Durant on the court, everyone knew Wang Xiucheng would miss his second free throw.
But can the Nets get the ball?
Everyone craned their necks to watch, eager to know the outcome of the ball.
From the moment Wang Xiucheng prepared to shoot the free throw, Towns and Davis were already locked in a fierce battle.
Neither of them jumped up at this moment.
Just as James was about to jump towards the basketball, Durant bumped him with his shoulder.
Although Durant looks thin, he is not weak, especially when he is prepared in advance.
Finally, Hayes, who is only 213cm tall, jumped up completely and reached out to grab the basketball.
However, James, who did not jump, saw Wang Xiucheng take a step forward and then jump towards the basketball.
James's hair stood on end instantly!
He saw that Wang Xiucheng had almost instantly surpassed Hayes in height.
Although he was behind Hayes, Wang Xiucheng, with the advantage of jumping higher and faster than Hayes, touched the basketball first by a hand's width.
At that moment, James saw Wang Xiucheng's wrist, deftly twisted it, and slapped it onto the basketball.
Then the basketball flew towards the hoop!
Bang!
Swish!
The basketball bounced off the rim before falling into the net!
Wang Xiucheng's putback goes in!
Jaxson Hayes was pushed from behind by Wang Xiucheng and fell straight towards the baseline!
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle!
He pointed to Hayes, who was already lying on the protective foam of the basketball hoop, and made a foul gesture towards the scorer's table.
Ham slammed his hand on the scorer's table, extremely dissatisfied with the ruling.
"Challenge! I challenge! This is absolutely not a foul, absolutely not!" Ham shouted at the referee, spitting out saliva.
The referee stepped back two steps, blew his whistle, and the game was paused. The Lakers challenged the call!
Ham was stunned!
Huh?
Who took the challenge?
me?
I was just saying it casually to vent my frustrations; I wasn't actually trying to challenge anyone!
Ham followed the referee, trying to explain and withdraw the challenge.
It was completely useless; the referee didn't even acknowledge him!
Are you kidding me?
Are you the one who gets challenged, and you're also the one who doesn't?
The entire hall fell silent once again!
The Staples Center is acting strangely tonight; it suddenly became quiet!
Fortunately, the commotion subsided again after a few seconds.
Wang Xiucheng actually made the putback!
Hamm's challenge was to prove that Hayes did not commit a foul, not to prove Wang Xiucheng's scoring.
Therefore, even if Hamm succeeds in his challenge, it will not affect Wang Xiucheng's two points.
In that case, Wang Xiucheng has already scored 12 points!
Many fans held their heads in their hands, looking like they had seen a ghost.
12 minutes, one minute!
If you were to calculate that, he'd score over 500 points in a single game!
10 seconds.
There are 10 seconds left in the game.
Everyone knows that if the Lakers fail to win the challenge, Wang Xiucheng will have to take an extra free throw.
If he scores, Wang Xiucheng will have scored 13 points in "Wang's Time"!
And it only took a little over 33 seconds!
On the big screen, a timer was flashing specifically for Wang Xiucheng, and the numbers on it were extremely glaring to Lakers fans!
"33.5", that's the time Wang Xiucheng has taken since he scored his first point at 43 seconds.
Below "33.5", there is another number, "12"!
These are the points Wang Xiucheng has scored in this time!
You might think it's an exaggeration, but there's a precedent of McGrady scoring 13 points in 35 seconds.
You'd be right if I said it wasn't an exaggeration, before that only McGrady had scored 13 points in 35 seconds!
After watching the replay for two minutes, the referees stood together and discussed it before making their ruling.
"When Wang Xiucheng grabbed the rebound first and shot, his cylinder was protected. Hayes invaded Wang Xiucheng's cylinder. This was a foul, and the call was correct. The Lakers lost a timeout and the challenge was cancelled."
Ham touched his bald head, feeling like his bulge was about to burst out of its shell!
I'll fucking kill you three old bastards!
Wang Xiucheng, who had been standing on the sidelines, began to walk onto the field.
Many Hollywood actresses on the sidelines started shouting at Wang Xiucheng.
Fortunately, they still cared about appearances, so their questions were relatively normal, mainly asking if they could go on a date with you.
However, some female fans went too far in the fan section.
"Wang Xiucheng, I want to have your babies."
"I'm 36D, Wang Xiucheng, would you like to see me?"
"He can warm the bed, and he's not clingy. Wang Xiucheng, look over here..."
Wang Xiucheng pretended not to hear these words, went to the free throw line, and waited for his free throw.
Reeves looked at Wang Xiucheng from beyond the three-point line, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
He had faced off against Wang Xiucheng when Wang was still with the Rockets.
At that time, he just didn't understand why Wang Xiucheng was an unselected player.
But in less than two years, Wang Xiucheng had already made him look up to him.
He could foresee that Wang Xiucheng would definitely become a member of the Hall of Fame in the future!
The gap between him and Wang Xiucheng is widening!
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made this free throw.
Reeves and the other Lakers players breathed a sigh of relief.
They were genuinely worried that Wang Xiucheng would miss the free throw again, and then the Nets would grab the rebound and continue their winning streak indefinitely!
This free throw means Wang Xiucheng has scored 13 points in the past 34 seconds!
