Chapter 571: The Cavaliers' Third Center
Mobley plopped down on the bench and looked up at the big screen.
He was waiting for the replay of Wang Xiucheng's last layup.
He wanted to know exactly where he had committed the foul.
Soon, the replay appeared.
Mobley saw that Wang Xiucheng's layup didn't actually leave his hand.
Wang Xiucheng didn't toss the ball up for a layup; instead, he kept his palm gripping the basketball from below and sent it upwards.
From Mobley's perspective, who was looking down on him at the time, he didn't notice Wang Xiucheng's hand holding the ball in the blink of an eye.
He subconsciously thought that Wang Xiucheng had thrown the basketball, and that the basketball was out of his hand.
But actually, no.
So when Mobley reached out to swat the basketball, Wang Xiucheng actually rotated his wrist, turning his hand upwards.
So Mobley slapped Wang Xiucheng's hand, not the basketball.
Furthermore, Wang Xiucheng's other hand was also patting the basketball to prevent it from falling due to Mobley's impact.
Mobley was dumbfounded by this series of actions!
Could Wang Xiucheng really do so much in such a short moment?
It seems that I was completely fooled by Wang Xiucheng from the very beginning!
Mobley pulled the towel over his head and took a deep breath.
I've already committed three fouls!
And all of them were fouls committed against Wang Xiucheng.
When he committed his second foul, Bickerstaff wanted to be substituted off the court.
But Mobley refused.
Mobley believes he has the ability to control his fouls.
This has always been one of his strengths.
He had assumed it would be the same tonight.
But he still miscalculated at the last moment!
Udoka, accompanied by his henchmen, was standing on the field discussing something.
One of Udoka's strengths is that he tries to take the opinions of his assistant coaches into consideration.
Although he sometimes made his own decisions, at least he put on a good show.
……
A hotel conference hall in Seoul.
Kim Yeon-mi was sitting upright, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand.
Sitting next to her were three senior lawyers from Jang Geum Law Firm, the firm that YG Entertainment works with.
One of them is a very influential figure in this circle: Ko Jung-sik, the current chief consultant of Jang Kim Law Firm and former director of the Korean Intellectual Property Office.
The hall was filled with media reporters, at least thirty people, including reporters from the three major television networks: SBS, KBS, and MBC.
More than a dozen cameras were pointed at Kim Yeon-mi, as if afraid of missing a single word she said.
These reporters were all invited by Kim Yeon-mi in her capacity as the chairman of YG Entertainment.
They didn't know what was going on before they came.
But now they know.
Kim Yeon-mi, representing her artist Kyung Sae-ron, has filed a lawsuit against Kim Soo-han, a top South Korean entertainer, alleging criminal activity.
At that time, Jing Sailun was only 15 years old.
Kim Yeon-mi has just presented at least five pieces of evidence that prove Kim Soo-han is suspected of committing a crime.
They also printed out multiple copies and distributed them to the reporters present.
The conference room was completely silent!
All the reporters stared in astonishment, mouths agape, at the printed photos in their hands.
Everyone knows what this means!
This means that if this is true, then Kim Soo-han is finished!
Even the South Korean entertainment industry will be affected!
Several seconds passed before a female reporter asked, "President Kim Yeon-mi, have you called the police?"
“I’ll answer that for you,” said a man who looked to be around 60 years old, wearing glasses and with slightly graying hair, standing next to Kim Yeon-mi, into the microphone.
This person is Gao Tingzhi.
Gao Tingzhi adjusted his glasses and found a document in the files: "This is the receipt for the report we filed yesterday, including at the Seoul Prosecutor's Office."
The reporters below immediately raised their cameras and began taking pictures, and more than a dozen video cameras also immediately focused on the document.
"Unfortunately, we did not see any action from the Seoul Prosecutors Office until the start of this press conference. Our information is that Kim Soo-han will leave South Korea tonight to attend a brand event in Huaxia Township."
“I don’t know what special privileges Kim Soo-han has in South Korea, but I am very disappointed with the efficiency of the Seoul Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office.”
"I personally, and Jang Kim Law Firm, reserve the right to pursue legal action against the Seoul Prosecutor's Office."
As he spoke, Go Jung-sik banged his hand on the table to express his anger, saying, "I hope the Seoul Prosecutor's Office will take immediate action to prevent Kim Soo-han from leaving South Korea."
"Chairman Kim," another reporter asked at this moment, "where is Kyung Sae-ren now?"
“She’s abroad. This matter has been handed over to YG Entertainment and me to handle entirely.” Kim Yeon-mi’s voice was cold. “I know what kind of impact this will have on Siren if it comes out.”
“However, Siren said she doesn’t want any more girls to be deceived by that beast.” Kim Yeon-mi leaned forward slightly. “I hereby announce that, from this moment forward, artists under YG Entertainment will no longer work with Kim Soo-han or artists under her agency, Gold Medalist.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cameras on site started snapping away again.
……
Barclays Center.
Nine minutes into the second quarter, there were less than three minutes left in the first half.
At this point, the home team, the Nets, were leading by 6 points, 62-56.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 40-34, a difference of 6 points.
This means the score in the second quarter was 22-22, a tie.
However, at the most crucial moment, the Cavaliers' defensive linchpin, Mobley, was sitting on the bench, biting his nails.
Just now, he was fouled by Wang Xiucheng.
This is his fourth foul tonight.
Moreover, all of these violations were committed by Wang Xiucheng.
Allen was supposed to be out today, and he, who usually plays power forward, started playing center. But Wang Xiucheng kept calling on him, and he ended up on the bench.
Now, the Cavaliers' third center, Damian Jones, has entered the game.
But Damian Jones, whose selling point is his speed, completely outmaneuvered Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng had a lot of experience dealing with these fast-moving big guys.
Wang Xiucheng, who had dribbled the ball past half-court, switched onto Damian Jones for defense again.
He made a change of direction and broke through, but just as his front foot stepped out, Wang Xiucheng pulled the ball back.
Damian Jones, who had already taken a step back, had just landed with his long legs and was unable to shift gears as quickly as Wang Xiucheng. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Xiucheng caught the ball, jumped, and shot a three-pointer.
Damian Jones stood on the ground and stretched out his hand, making a gesture to interfere, but he was far from the basketball.
Swish!
Damian Jones hadn't even turned around when he heard the sound of the basketball going through the net.
With the score at 65-56, the Nets have a 9-point lead.
Damian Jones picked up the ball and immediately passed it to Garland, then quickly ran forward with Towns.
But suddenly, someone stepped in between Damian Jones and Towns.
Damian Jones stumbled a couple of times from the thud, but by the time he regained his footing, Towns was already in position.
Damian Jones glanced at Dillon, who had just tricked him, and swallowed his anger.
