Swish!
The free throw went in.
30:25.
The Nets have taken a 5-point lead.
After making the free throw, Wang Xiucheng immediately found a Nuggets player to closely guard him.
Although the Nuggets eventually inbounded the ball, Murray's hasty subsequent shot missed.
With a whistle, the referee blew the final whistle to end the first quarter.
In Game 5, the Nets led 30-25 at the end of the first quarter.
Ma Long reached out and patted his players on the shoulder as a gesture of encouragement.
Then Ma Long looked up at the somewhat glaring score on the big screen.
30:25.
With one minute left in the game, the Nuggets were leading 23-21.
In just one minute, the Nuggets scored two points, both from free throws.
But the Nets scored 9 points!
All of these were obtained by Wang Xiucheng!
Is there any fucking justice in this?
Are there any laws?
Is no one going to do anything about this?
Malone saw his players sitting dejectedly in their chairs and wanted to comfort them, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
If he speaks up, it means that even he has admitted defeat.
That will only make the players more disappointed.
McGrady only scored 13 points in 35 seconds once in his life, and that's how the entire league remembered him.
But Wang Xiucheng has the ability to score eight or nine points in almost every game, even in the last minute of every quarter.
Malone even jokingly suggested that the league should limit Wang Xiucheng to playing only the first 11 minutes of each quarter.
By the way, let's call it the "Wang Xiucheng Rules" or the "Wang Xiucheng Clauses"!
Just like how you used to limit O'Neal.
Shaking his head to dismiss these thoughts, Coach Malone sat down in his chair and began to devise tactics.
"Ah!"
Not far away in the broadcast booth, in the TNT section, O'Neal suddenly sneezed.
Then he looked at Barkley, who was drinking water next to him.
Is this guy cursing himself in his mind?
On the other side, Nash and his assistant coach were standing outside the sideline, discussing something.
Wang Xiucheng sat in a chair, covered his head with a towel, and took a few deep breaths.
Although his physical strength had reached "100", the high-intensity competition in the last minute still made Wang Xiucheng feel tired.
Wang Xiucheng even felt that the physical exertion in this last minute was about the same as that in the previous 11 minutes.
For at least the first 11 minutes, I don't need to handle the ball much. I just pass it occasionally, shoot when I'm open, and transition when I'm not.
Most of the time, Wang Xiucheng would even squat in the corner and wait.
This requires almost no physical exertion.
But in the final minute, Wang Xiucheng received the ball, broke through, scored, drew a foul, stole the ball, and grabbed the rebound...
Wang Xiucheng did almost all the work he could.
"The King's Time" is indeed terrifying.
But this was achieved at the cost of enormous physical exertion.
Wang Xiucheng leaned out and tilted his head to look at Jokic.
When Wang Xiucheng saw the beads of sweat constantly sliding down Jokic's face and his chest heaving like a blower, he felt much better.
Thankfully, I'm not the only one who's tired!
Nash returned to his chair and began to plan the tactics for the start of the second quarter.
Wang Xiucheng didn't listen, since he was going to rest at the beginning of the second quarter anyway.
So Wang Xiucheng looked up and searched for Lin Yun'er on the second-floor stands in the distance.
However, it was too far away, and most of the lights were turned off during the break, so Wang Xiucheng returned empty-handed.
But at this moment, Lin Yun'er noticed that Wang Xiucheng seemed to be looking in her direction.
This made her heart pound.
"What's wrong?" Quan Youli, who was standing next to Lin Yun'er, noticed Lin Yun'er's unusual behavior and asked.
"No," Lin Yun'er smiled and shook her head.
Kwon Yoo-ri suddenly whispered, covering her mouth, "I just checked, and it seems that the Chinese guy doesn't have a girlfriend. Do you think I have a chance?"
Lin Yun'er gave her a strange look, "You can give it a try."
"Sigh." Kwon Yuri sighed, "It's a pity I don't know him."
Lin Yun'er fell silent, for the lights had already come on and the second quarter of the game had begun.
Inside the arena, Durant and Westbrook took to the court to lead the team.
For the Nuggets, Porter Jr. and Gordon also took to the court.
Both sides claimed to have reserve lineups, but each had two starters.
If Jokic hadn't been so tired, Malone would have loved to bring him back too.
Finally, after about four minutes, the Nuggets managed to bring Jokic and Murray back to the game.
The Nuggets' shooting percentage was unusually low during this period, but the Nets did not pull away from them.
The reason is that Durant and Westbrook on the Nets side also have low shooting percentages.
In the first four minutes, almost only Durant and Westbrook were able to score for the Nets.
Finally, with Jokic's return, the Nuggets gradually got back on track.
By the 6th minute, the Nuggets had closed the gap to 4 points.
After a pause, Wang Xiucheng returned.
Wang Xiucheng, who returned to the field, did not hold the ball and remained crouched in the corner during attacks, as if he were detached from the game.
Even so, Murray stayed close to Wang Xiucheng, not letting him disappear for even a second.
If Wang Xiucheng doesn't move, Murray won't move either.
Often, the game on the field feels like it's played by eight people.
The Nuggets are clearly happy to see this happen.
But time kept ticking away, and finally it was the last minute of the second quarter.
Perhaps he rested too much in this quarter, because Wang Xiucheng's touch seemed a bit cold compared to the last minute of the first quarter.
Besides making a three-pointer to score three points, Wang Xiucheng missed a floater and his alley-oop pass to Claxton hit the rim.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Nets led the Nuggets 58-52 at home, a six-point advantage.
This time, Wang Xiucheng didn't rest on the bench for a while, but went straight to the player tunnel.
……
Waldorf Astoria New York.
Level 38.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened.
Two women, fully armed and whose appearances were completely obscured, walked in.
They used the room key to open a room and went inside.
After closing the door, the two removed all their disguises, including hats and masks.
"Sis, is this the floor you're talking about?"
If Wang Xiucheng were here, he would recognize these two people as Jenner's older sister, Kim, and younger sister, Kelly.
"Of course, the Nets' public relations department rented the entire 38th and 37th floors, as well as the rooftop open-air stands, five days ago."
"Obviously, this is where the Nets will celebrate if they win the championship."
"If I hadn't pulled some strings, I wouldn't have gotten this room on the 38th floor."
As Jinka spoke, she sat down on the sofa. "Kendall has been in London these past few days. I've done everything I could to help you. Tonight, it's up to you."
Kelly's eyes flickered slightly, but she seemed somewhat timid.
"Are you scared now?" Jinka laughed.
"I'm afraid?" Kelly said, her neck outstretched and her face firm.
"Alright, I'm going back to Los Angeles now. I wonder if Alice and my little rascals will listen to Kohler."
"Remember to wait for my call. I'll find out Wang Xiucheng's room from that idiot Simmons. You don't need me to teach you the rest, right?"
Kelly nodded.
Jinka stood up, fully armed again, and left carrying her expensive bag.
Kelly sat on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.
……
The Barclays Center has a great program scheduled for halftime tonight.
First up are Bruno and Taylor, who are performing together on stage for the first time.
This pair, with their obvious height difference and even a touch of humor, brought a lot of joy to all the fans in the stadium.
After the song, Barclays Center even arranged a raffle.
The prize is very simple and straightforward: season tickets to the Nets' home games next season.
The 15-minute halftime break was anything but dull.
In order to have a chance to win a season ticket, many fans even stopped going to the bathroom, fearing they would miss the opportunity.
Finally, as the players from both sides gradually returned to the field to warm up, halftime came to an end.
The second half of the game has finally begun.
