Chapter 580 Mazura: I feel like I have high blood pressure!
The Nets' change is fouling!
Without a second thought, Westbrook hugged Holiday when he saw him.
Holiday was still a little dazed and didn't react for a moment.
Is this a foul against oneself?
Isn't it?
Westbrook immediately raised his hand to admit his foul.
Then he went to the free throw line and stood in the waiting area.
Udoka stood in front of the scorer's table and clapped, seemingly satisfied with the timing of the foul.
Mazura, a few steps away, frowned slightly.
He didn't expect Udoka to choose the fouling tactic.
In the past, the opposing team has always resorted to fouling tactics to counter the Nets' "King Time".
But today the Nets deliberately used a fouling tactic.
The advantage of doing this is that it pauses the game, allowing the opponent to take free throws, but possession of the ball remains with the Nets.
But if the Nets miss their shot, it's like giving the opponent two free throws.
It's difficult to judge the gains and losses.
Mazura knew that Uduka believed in Wang Xiucheng's scoring ability.
Swish, swish!
Holiday made both free throws.
The Celtics narrowed the gap to 66-64.
Mazura glanced sideways at Udoka.
He was very familiar with Uduka.
He was one of the assistant coaches when Udoka was the head coach of the Celtics, so he knew that Udoka's personality was not fond of gambling.
But clearly, at this point, the Nets had placed all their bets on Wang Xiucheng.
But no one can predict the outcome.
Towns picked up the basketball, went to the baseline, and even checked the position of his feet to make sure there was no problem before passing the ball to Durant.
Tatum then entangled Wang Xiucheng once again.
Wang Xiucheng ran towards the baseline once again, seemingly crouching at the bottom corner as he had done the previous times.
However, when he reached the center circle this time, Wang Xiucheng suddenly reached out and pushed Tatum.
Caught off guard, Tatum stumbled forward before regaining his footing.
But at that moment, Wang Xiucheng had already turned around and caught the ball from Durant.
Upon seeing Wang Xiucheng receive the ball, Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who were nearby, immediately rushed towards Wang Xiucheng.
The first key to breaking the "King's Time" strategy is to prevent Wang Xiu from receiving the ball!
If you receive the ball, you can choose to commit a foul.
This is now the consensus among all teams in the league.
Seeing Tatum rushing towards him again, Wang Xiucheng immediately dribbled the ball a step, bringing himself fully into the frontcourt.
Then, Wang Xiucheng grabbed the ball with one hand and leaned hard against Tatum.
With a loud thud, the two collided solidly.
Then Wang Xiucheng took advantage of the little space Tatum gave him to jump.
Without any accompanying movements, Wang Xiucheng took a single, decisive shot and launched the basketball from the center circle.
Jaylen Brown was just a fraction of a second too late, watching helplessly as Wang Xiucheng launched that incredible three-pointer from such a long distance.
But the next moment, Jaylen Brown saw Wang Xiucheng in the air falling towards him.
Jaylen Brown didn't even have time to brake before he saw Wang Xiucheng's legs land at his feet.
Jaylen Brown was so frightened that he jumped back immediately, like a startled rabbit.
But Wang Xiucheng still screamed and fell to the floor.
Swish!
beep!
The previous sound was the sound of a basketball going into the net.
The next sound was the referee's whistle.
The referee held up three fingers, signaling that the three-pointer was valid, then pointed at Jaylen Brown, who looked like he'd just eaten shit, and gestured towards the scorer's table that Jaylen Brown had fouled.
Mazura, standing on the sidelines, also looked astonished!
He held his head and said to the sideline referee, "That kid was more than two meters away from Jaylen Brown's starting position. He jumped over there on purpose. He's faking it!"
“Even a kangaroo couldn’t jump that far!” Mazura cried out, feeling utterly wronged.
The referee nodded, seemingly listening to Mazura's words.
But the next moment, the referee responded: "But Wang was indeed shooting, and he was protected until he landed. No matter where he landed, even if he jumped from under this basket and landed under another basket, as long as Jaylen Brown was standing inside Wang's cylinder, it was a foul."
How do you get the ball from one basket to another?
My fuck!
Is this something a referee would say?
Mazura was stunned!
How could a referee say something like that?
"Of course, you can challenge it," the referee added.
Mazura instantly felt her blood rushing to her head, as if her brain was filled with blood!
I probably have high blood pressure!
Durant and Westbrook helped Wang Xiucheng up, then reached out and gave him a high five.
Towns, who was just a step too late, could only pat Wang Xiucheng on the waist from behind.
Those two guys are too fast.
Wang Xiucheng did not immediately go to the free throw line, but instead straightened his jersey.
Mazura took a deep breath, and then he saw Wang Xiucheng seem to glance at him.
Furthermore, Wang Xiucheng even twirled his finger on his head.
It's as if it's saying, "Go ahead and challenge me if you dare!"
Instantly, Mazura, who had just calmed down a bit, felt her blood rush to her head again!
I'm only 35 years old, do I really need to take blood pressure medication?
After straightening his jersey, Wang Xiucheng finally arrived at the free-throw line.
He took the basketball, spun it around, dribbled it, and spun it again...
Swish!
Penalty added!
Four points awarded!
The score was now 70 to 64.
The Nets are now leading by 6 points.
There were exactly 24 seconds left.
It's enough for the Celtics to complete a full offensive play without giving the Nets any time.
but……
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle.
Dillon raised his hand and released Holiday, the ball handler he was holding.
Another foul!
Mazura was stunned!
Is it really that serious, bro?
With such endless fouls, how can you play a game that lasts only one minute for more than ten minutes?
I need to hurry back to the locker room to take my medicine!
Dillon also raised his hand and then walked back.
Both Dillon and Westbrook had committed two fouls by this point.
It's not much; Uduka can totally accept this result.
Holiday's expression also changed slightly. Being forced to shoot free throws like this must be putting a lot of pressure on him!
Sure enough, with a thud, Holiday's second free throw missed.
Towns tightly marked Porzingis, and Durant jumped high, tipping the ball out before Tatum could reach it.
Dillon shoved Jaylen Brown away with his shoulder and then grabbed the rebound.
The next moment, Dillon threw the ball away.
Wang Xiucheng had already accelerated and was charging towards the halfway line, relying on Horford!
Horford held onto Wang Xiucheng, preventing him from leaving his side, while trying to slow him down as much as possible.
That way, there's still a chance to wait for other people to arrive.
Horford kept pulling on Wang Xiucheng's clothes, which were already distorted from being pulled, but the referee ignored it.
The referee allowed this kind of physical contact.
Finally, Wang Xiucheng took the initiative and managed to control the ball.
Horford pulled on Wang Xiucheng while straining his shoulder, trying to knock Wang Xiucheng's path aside.
But suddenly, Wang Xiucheng, who had already entered the center circle, actually caught the ball.
This action startled Horford!
Is Wang Xiucheng going to shoot another three-pointer?
At this point, Horford had two options.
The first thing to do is to use a rough foul to stop Wang Xiucheng, otherwise he would shoot the ball and then get a foul himself, or even a technical foul.
Then I have to be careful of Dillon's revenge at all times.
Another option is to quickly let go and let Wang Xiucheng shoot, betting that he won't make the shot.
