Chapter 468 Skill Card Vajra Kick, activated!
Wang Xiucheng, Durant, and the others all stood outside the three-point line, forming a row.
Embiid, Maxi, Harris, and a few others stood in front of Wang Xiucheng and his group, forming another line.
The two groups stared intently at each other as if they were looking at each other's faces, and Maxi even reached out and grabbed Wang Xiucheng's clothes.
There were too many people around, and the referee couldn't see them. Even if he could, he couldn't blow the whistle before the ball was served.
The referee tapped the ball, put the whistle in his mouth, then gave the ball to Zeng Fanbo and started a countdown.
Instantly, Wang Xiucheng and Durant and the others all sprang into action.
The eight people instantly descended into chaos.
Wang Xiucheng found an opportunity to leave the crowd and get to the backstage area, but Maxi followed Wang Xiucheng closely and got stuck between Wang Xiucheng and Zeng Fanbo.
Time ticked by, and Zeng Fanbo's forehead was already beaded with sweat.
There was no chance for Wang Xiucheng, but Durant and the others were also closely guarded and unable to shake off their defenders.
Zeng Fanbo didn't dare to give them the ball, as there was a risk of it being intercepted.
Throwing balls in from the sidelines are truly a global challenge!
Just as Zeng Fanbo was considering whether to call another timeout, he saw Wang Xiucheng suddenly brake, shake off Maxi, and run towards the frontcourt.
Rivers yelled at the referee, "Five seconds left..."
The referee's countdown hand seemed endless, still waving backward.
In an instant, the ball in Zeng Fanbo's hand flew past George Niang and towards the frontcourt.
At this moment, the referee seemed to return to normal and quickly waved his hand.
Rivers wanted nothing more than to kick the referee. How dare you be any more biased!
After a few long strides, Wang Xiucheng finally received the ball. Harden, Embiid, and Korkmaz immediately abandoned their defenders and rushed towards Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng only had time to dribble once before he reached the three-point line.
Without making any adjustments, Wang Xiucheng jumped diagonally and threw the basketball.
"what!"
The basketball had barely left his hands when Wang Xiucheng shouted and then fell off the court.
beep!
The whistle sounded.
Swish!
The sound of the basketball going through the net rang out at the same time.
The referee gestured towards the scorer's table that the three-pointer was valid, then pointed at Korkmaz and gestured that it was a foul.
Nash immediately left his position and went to the referee, shouting angrily, "He tripped me! That's definitely a flagrant foul! That's definitely a flagrant foul!"
At this moment, Korkmaz also sat on the ground, clutching his foot, his face showing signs of pain.
Wang Xiucheng leaned on the chair behind him, looking at Kokmaz in the distance.
This guy!
Korkmaz just tried to block his own shot, but missed, and after landing, one of his feet went down to his own feet.
Wang Xiucheng didn't know if this guy was doing it on purpose.
But the moment Wang Xiucheng landed, he felt as if his foot was enveloped by something, and he stomped hard on Kokmaz's foot.
Wang Xiucheng knew that the skill card "Diamond Kick" had just been activated.
[Skill Card: Vajra Kick (Master Level)]
[When this skill card is equipped in the defense module, it will automatically reinforce the ankle and form a protective shell when the host is deliberately tripped by an opponent, and will also automatically launch a counterattack.]
This skill card is at its maximum level and cannot be upgraded further.
This skill card is the kind that you don't usually notice, but once it takes effect, it has a huge impact.
Durant, Westbrook, and the others surrounded them, seemingly wanting an explanation.
The situation quickly became chaotic on both sides.
"Are you OK?"
Wang Xiucheng was sitting just outside the sideline when Scarlett's voice rang out behind him.
"Can you get up?" Cody asked with concern.
Wang Xiucheng smiled, saw Scarlett and Cody extend their hands, and then took their hands and stood up.
While holding Scarlett's hand, Wang Xiucheng was not well-behaved and scratched Scarlett's palm.
This made Scarlett blush instantly.
Scarlett quickly released Wang Xiucheng and sat down, pretending to be nonchalant as she straightened her clothes.
The referee kept blowing his whistle, and after finally separating the two sides, he went to the technical table to review the video.
The game was paused with one second remaining in the first quarter.
Wang Xiucheng tried jumping lightly to let everyone know that he was alright.
Then Wang Xiucheng looked at Kokmaz, guessing that the guy was probably not feeling well at the moment.
Wang Xiucheng was right; Kokmaz felt a burning pain in his foot.
The good news is that there was no fracture, according to the team doctor.
The bad news is that he won't be playing in this match.
Whether he can play in the next game depends on the results of the subsequent examination.
The referee quickly finished watching the video.
The referee stood in front of the scorer's table and turned on the microphone. "After attempting a block, Korkmaz did not adjust his landing point in time and invaded the offensive player's cylinder. This action was considered dangerous, so it was changed to a Flagrant Foul 1, awarding two free throws. The Nets retain their next offensive opportunity."
Although it was a level one malicious act and he didn't need to be sent off, Korkmaz was already unable to play and was being carried by two men towards the players' tunnel.
The entire stadium booed Korkmaz from the stands, and some even crumpled up their empty hamburger wrappers and threw them at him.
The security personnel seemed to be blind and didn't see these people.
One of the security guards even flicked the crumpled piece of paper that had been thrown crookedly onto his own shoulder.
The timeout has ended, and both teams have returned to the court. Wang Xiucheng is standing at the free-throw line.
Amidst applause from the entire stadium, Wang Xiu received the ball from the referee and began his free throws.
Swish!
Swish!
Both free throws went in!
In one round, Wang Xiucheng scored 5 points.
39:31.
The Nets quickly extended their lead to 8 points.
And they still retain the opportunity to attack.
Even though it only lasted a second.
Zeng Fanbo once again stood outside the sideline to serve.
This time, Wang Xiucheng didn't create an opportunity, and Zeng Fanbo passed the ball to Durant.
Durant turned and jumped, taking a shot at the absolute limit.
The basketball missed the target completely and flew out of bounds.
The first quarter of the game then came to an end.
Durant showed no regret. He stood on the sideline and gave high-fives to Wang Xiucheng, Westbrook, Zeng Fanbo, and Watanabe Yuta.
Durant didn't expect to score 39 points in a single quarter.
Not only Durant, but even Nash and the coaching staff did not expect this.
After all, Philadelphia has the newly crowned MVP Joel Embiid.
Nash was naturally very satisfied to score 39 points in the first quarter of his first game after a seven or eight-day break.
Penguin Live Room.
"Wang Xiucheng played all 12 minutes in the first quarter, scoring 22 points and adding 5 assists. What does Coach Yang Yi have to say?"
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Yang Yi couldn't wait to say, "Wang Xiucheng scored 22 points in the first quarter. Of those 22 points, one was a 4-point play, one was a 5-point play, and one was a dunk, which is 11 points."
"Moreover, all 11 points were scored in the last minute."
Now you know why the last minute of each quarter is called "King's Time," right?
"On the other hand, the 76ers' Ma Daha duo played the entire first quarter and only scored 21 points, one point less than Wang Xiucheng."
