Chapter 364 The Lovers' Chapter Competition
2 month 14 day.
Starting around morning, Wang Xiucheng kept receiving phone calls and text messages.
Today is Valentine's Day.
All the sisters expressed their feelings to Wang Xiucheng immediately.
The streets and alleys of New York are covered with decorations featuring all sorts of Valentine's Day elements, as if they're afraid that no guy will be unaware of it.
night.
Just one hour before the Knicks' home game against the Nets was about to begin.
Journalists such as Woj and Shams have successively dropped bombshells.
Kyrie Irving informed Rockets management through his stepmother, who is also his agent, that he would not be renewing his contract.
This means that if the Rockets don't trade Irving, he will leave for free this summer.
Kyrie Irving's stepmother stated on social media that Irving was cheated by the Rockets.
"When the Rockets traded Wang Xiucheng before the season, they promised Irving that they would strengthen the team's roster and strive for a playoff spot."
"But as you all know now, Fertitta has lost a lot of money and made it clear that he will not invest in the team this season."
"The Rockets, who have been inactive, are only ranked 11th in the West. Irving has been fooled."
This news immediately made headlines in the sports section as soon as it was broken.
Related news stories were subsequently unearthed.
In particular, the news that Wang Xiucheng was suddenly traded from the Rockets to the Nets quickly rose to the top of the trending search list, along with the news that Irving would not renew his contract.
At the time, many fans and commentators believed that the Nets made a huge profit from the trade.
Many people even said directly that there must be a private contract involved in this transaction.
In retrospect, the Rockets were simply foolish.
They traded away the promising Wang Xiucheng and got someone who frequently cultivates immortality in return, and now they've even said they won't renew his contract.
This means that the Rockets practically let Wang Xiucheng go for nothing.
Kyrie Irving's agent's sudden outburst kept the Rockets' public relations department extremely busy.
Stone and Fertitta, who had already been criticized for months for trading Wang Xiucheng, are now being attacked by fans again.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Xiucheng.
The Nets team had already arrived at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks' home game against the Nets started as scheduled.
Durant is still not fully recovered, and he will rest for a while longer to ensure safety.
Furthermore, Nets general manager Sean Marks personally called the league office to inform them that Durant would not participate in this year's All-Star Game.
Taking this opportunity, the league office also asked Sean Marks if Wang Xiucheng would participate in the dunk contest.
“I don’t know, let me ask for you,” Sean Marks replied.
Sitting in a corner of the fan section, Sean Marks looked up at the score.
The Knicks are leading by one point, 16-17.
The match has been going on for 6 minutes.
The two teams were evenly matched.
The Knicks defeated the Jazz in their last game and are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets remain in first place, although their advantage is no longer as significant.
With Durant out, it seems the Nets won't have an easy time winning today.
Bang!
Just as Sean Marks was lost in thought, Wang Xiucheng blocked Brunson's path into the paint, then drove to the basket and slammed home a tomahawk dunk.
Sean Marks clapped.
This is Wang Xiucheng's first point tonight.
Prior to this, Wang Xiucheng had primarily focused on conduction and series connections.
He attempted a three-pointer, but it missed.
But Seth Curry, who started today, had a good touch and has already made a three-pointer.
The Knicks have possession of the ball. Brunson brings the ball up the court and, using a screen, also gets to the paint.
After the Nets' interior defense was completely overwhelmed, Brunson made a layup himself.
only……
With a snap, Wang Xiucheng, who had been following Brunson, jumped up and slapped the basketball against the backboard, almost over Brunson's head.
Joe Harper got the rebound and immediately passed it to Ben West, who was nearby.
Ben West quickly advanced, pushing past Grimes, who is only 193cm tall, into the paint.
Grimes had no choice but to foul, preventing Bensi from easily dunking.
The group that had been running all along could finally catch their breath, and both sides began to gradually switch players.
However, both teams' starting point guards remained on the court the entire time.
The score remained close until the final minute of the first quarter when Wang Xiucheng hit another logo three-pointer, giving the Nets a 3-point lead on the road.
With little time remaining in the first quarter, Brunson drove into the paint and suddenly made a steal shot.
The score remained 28-27 at the end of the first quarter, with the Nets leading by one point.
The two teams were evenly matched, and neither was able to subdue the other in the first quarter.
Rest during the holiday.
Wang Xiucheng sat on the bench, covered his head with a towel, and took a sip of water.
Then Wang Xiucheng glanced at the other side.
Scarlett and Olsen watched the game together again today.
Both of them were looking at Wang Xiucheng.
When they realized that Wang Xiucheng was also looking at them, the two of them lowered their heads and started playing with their phones.
Wang Xiucheng found it somewhat amusing, his eyes, hidden beneath the towel, staring intently at them.
It seemed like there was going to be a performance during the break, so the lights were all dimmed.
No one noticed Wang Xiucheng's lecherous gaze.
Three minutes passed quickly.
The game resumed after the lights came on.
The substitutes from both sides came on and the game began.
In terms of bench strength, the Knicks are clearly the stronger team.
When the second quarter ended with six minutes played and a timeout was called, the Knicks had not only narrowed the gap by one point but also taken a four-point lead.
Nash stood on the sidelines, giving high-fives to each of the substitutes.
He was quite satisfied that the Nets were only down by 4 points in the battle between the two teams' substitutes.
Durant's injury has greatly affected the Nets' lineup for their bench players.
Normally at this point, Durant would be leading the team single-handedly, and that's when the score difference would be widening.
But now Bencić is in charge, and while the defense is decent, the offense is really disappointing.
Opposite them, in the front row, Olsen looked at Wang Xiucheng and whispered to Scarlett, "I like this Chinese man."
Scarlett glanced at her. "I told you, he has a girlfriend."
“You said it yourself, she’s my girlfriend, not my wife,” Olsen said cheerfully. “Fair competition.”
Scarlett stopped talking.
She somewhat regretted bringing Olsen to the game.
I also regret letting Olsen meet Wang Xiucheng.
Fortunately, Olsen didn't have Wang Xiucheng's phone number, and Wang Xiucheng didn't seem to have any intention of flirting with Olsen.
"You should be going back to Los Angeles tomorrow, right?"
Olsen nodded. "Yes."
Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief.
Once I leave New York, there shouldn't be any problems.
