Chapter 130 Probability of Winning the Championship
Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball and attacked, then made a crossover dribble and broke into the penalty area.
Mobley had already jumped, but Wang Xiucheng didn't dodge at all. His feet landed on the floor like cannonballs, and after a tooth-grinding scraping sound, Wang Xiucheng jumped up with the ball in his hand.
The basketball was held behind Wang Xiucheng's head with one hand. Mobley, who is 2.11 meters tall and has a wingspan of about 2.25 meters, covered Wang Xiucheng's head with his arm, his eyes blazing with fire.
Even without touching the basketball, Mobley didn't think Wang Xiucheng could shoot the ball.
Even though he knew that Wang Xiucheng's hang time was probably the best in the entire league, he still believed that he could defend against Wang Xiucheng.
He is extremely confident in his physical abilities!
This is why he was selected third overall.
But the next moment, he realized he was wrong.
Wang Xiucheng didn't actually shoot the ball; he spiked it in!
Wang Xiucheng's hand holding the ball fell directly down, and then he went around to the side behind Mobley's raised arm.
A loud bang!
Wang Xiucheng dunked the basketball over Mobley from the side!
The immense impact sent Mobley, who hadn't yet fallen, tumbling backward.
Wang Xiucheng used one hand to grip the rim to cushion the impact, but before he could land, Shen Jing caught him from behind.
Instantly, the entire stadium erupted in cheers, and the giant screen overhead shook violently.
Many fans who had just entered the stadium with their hamburgers instinctively raised their hands and cheered, only to find their hamburgers flying away...
Even though Wang Xiucheng's parents didn't know much about basketball, they knew at this moment that this shot must be amazing, otherwise why would all the Rockets players be surrounding Wang Xiucheng?
Ma Xiaoxuan was completely mesmerized. Wang Xiucheng had grown from the little brother he was four years ago into a guy who could fascinate and drive people crazy.
The chants of "Houston King" echoed throughout the stadium!
Los Angeles.
Kylie Jenner watched as Wang Xiucheng dunked on Mobley on TV and jumped up excitedly, raising her fist.
Then she immediately turned around and shouted, "Sister, you saw that? He's amazing. He's only 19. I have to have him. Nobody can take him away from me."
Kim Kardashian stared at the screen, unconsciously licking her lips and swallowing hard, a fleeting glimpse of greedy desire passing through her throat.
Kazeta Center.
The referee belatedly blew the whistle.
It wasn't a timeout, but rather Mobley committed a foul, and Wang Xiucheng needed to take a free throw.
Mobley had just stood up with the help of his teammates when he saw the referee's gesture indicating that he had committed a foul.
Mobley stepped forward to argue, but was immediately silenced by a glare from the referee.
Mobley shook his head. Rookies are just not well-liked!
But that kid is also a rookie, so why did he get the whistle?
The treatment that neither he nor Jalen Green received was given to that Chinese man.
Is the Chinese market really that important to the NBA?
Swish!
Wang Xiucheng made another free throw.
Three points scored successfully.
Seemingly affected by Wang Xiucheng's dunk, the Cavaliers' shooting percentage dropped significantly in the following minutes.
It seems like we've gone back to the state we were in at the beginning of the first half.
The Cavaliers finally looked normal after Wang Xiucheng was substituted off the court.
The three-pointers were on, the drives were going in, and the referees were blowing their whistles.
The Cavaliers went on an 8-2 run in the final four minutes.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead had been reduced to 6 points, 90-84.
The fourth quarter began with Wang Xiucheng taking the court.
Then the game continued to progress in the Rockets' favor.
With four minutes remaining in the game, the Rockets were already leading by 21 points.
Silas unusually called a timeout, replacing Wang Xiucheng, Greenshenjing, and Gordon.
The game has officially entered garbage time.
In fact, the Rockets experienced a lot of garbage time, but it was all garbage time for the opposing team.
This seems to be the first time the Rockets have received such treatment.
The Rockets ultimately defeated the Cavaliers 115-104 at home.
After a four-game losing streak, they finally secured a victory.
At the same time, the Rockets also ended their embarrassing 11-game home losing streak.
Evan Mobley, the Cavaliers' third overall pick this year, played 36 minutes, shooting 12-for-20 from the field and 5-for-9 from the free-throw line, scoring 29 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
His performance was extremely impressive, even better than Jalen Green, the second overall pick on the Rockets.
杰伦格林出战32分钟，13投6中，三分球7中3，罚球7中6，得到了21分5篮板5助攻，也是相当全面的数据。
But these two high draft picks were overshadowed today by an undrafted player.
Wang Xiucheng played 32 minutes, shooting 8-for-10 from the field, including 2-for-2 from three-point range, and 8-for-13 from the free-throw line, scoring 26 points along with 12 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
He also delivered six spectacular dunks.
And after each dunk, Wang Xiucheng would shrug, as if to say, "Dunking is just a simple task, isn't it easy to do with your hands?"
After the game, Wang Xiucheng sent New Year's greetings to the fans in Mandarin, and then drove away from the stadium with his parents without even taking a shower.
Two hours after the game, around midnight, the league officially released several messages.
First, the league announced the Rookie of the Month list for January.
The Thunder's No. 6 pick, Kidd, and the Pistons' No. 1 pick, Cunningham, were selected.
Kidd has won Rookie of the Year for three consecutive months.
Of course, for Rockets fans, Wang Xiucheng is the Rookie of the Year.
It was only because Wang Xiucheng had to rest for a period of time due to injury that Gidi had the opportunity to win the award for the second time.
Then the league announced the rookie roster for the All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge.
Wang Xiucheng, Green, and Shen Jingjun of the Rockets are all on the roster.
The Rockets also contributed the most rookies.
Therefore, there is some truth to the league's view that the Rockets are bad now, but may not be bad in the future.
Another official announcement confirmed the roster for the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest.
Magic player Steve Kerr Anthony, Warriors player Toscano Anderson, and Knicks player Toppin, who is participating for the second time, are among those listed.
The last player is Rockets rookie Wang Xiucheng.
In less than 10 minutes, Las Vegas released the latest odds, and Wang Xiucheng had the highest probability of winning the championship.
Sugar City.
After finishing their late-night snack, Wang Xiucheng and Jenna returned to their room.
Wang Xiucheng's parents already know that Jenna is pregnant.
Wang Xiucheng still remembers their bewildered expressions at the time.
It's like trying to force Wang Xiucheng's image from that of a child to that of a father, but ultimately failing in the end—a comical situation.
My mother just said, "Um, isn't it illegal to have a baby at 19 in the US?"
"Your parents will like our child, right?"
Lying on Wang Xiucheng's chest, Jenna asked.
“Of course, if they didn’t like children, how could they have raised my sister and me to be so beautiful?” Wang Xiucheng smiled. “They just didn’t expect their son to be so strong, striking with such precision!”
Upon hearing this, Jenna blushed and gently pinched Wang Xiucheng.
But this light pinch felt like a tickle to Wang Xiucheng, so he immediately stood up.
Jenna, sensing this, blushed even more and got up to run away, but Wang Xiucheng grabbed her arm.
"I'm going back to my room to sleep, it's too late," Jenna said quickly, not daring to look down.
Although the pregnant Jenna was living in Wang Xiucheng's house, she didn't dare to stay in his room at all.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself, and even more afraid that Wang Xiucheng wouldn't be able to control himself.
"then what do I do?"
Wang Xiucheng's pitiful look almost made Jenna surrender.
"You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Biting her lip and forcing herself to calm down, Jenna left the man who had captivated her.
