Chapter 8: Advancing to the Playoffs, the 5th 3-pointer
Tencent Sports live stream.
"Here we go again, the familiar tactics! Are we going to set up a play for Wu Qian again?"
"Hey, the Warriors are actually setting up a play for Wu Qian. He had a three-point opportunity, but Dillon anticipated it and his defense was in place!"
"Without space to pass the ball, let's see how Wu Qian handles it?"
"Wow, not bad! A feint, then a drive into the paint! A crossover dribble back... oh my god!"
"Wu Qian has faked out Dillon!!!"
In the live stream, Su Qun and Ke Fan even stood up excitedly.
If it were someone else who knocked Dillon down, they wouldn't be so surprised, but it was Wu Qian, a young Chinese player!
Su Qun became extremely excited: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that a leading figure is truly about to emerge in Chinese basketball!"
"There was a time when we had high hopes for Guo Ailun, hoping he would become another player to enter the NBA after Yi Jianlian, but he failed."
"We also pinned our hopes on Ding and Zhou Qi, hoping they could establish themselves in the NBA, but they all failed."
"But today, based on Wu Qian's performance in those five minutes, I think we are about to witness another Chinese player establishing himself in the NBA, following in the footsteps of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian!"
Su Qun's excited tone resonated with Ke Fan: "Yes, fellow fans, this shot not only gives the Warriors a 7-point lead, but it practically seals the game!"
"This shot might just make it into this week's NBA Top 10 Goals!"
"What Chinese basketball lacks are players who dare to break through, receive the ball and attack one-on-one, and make bold moves in major competitions!"
"Wu Qian, at only twenty years old, already possesses such courage. I believe that given some time, he will definitely be able to establish himself in the NBA!"
The two commentators in the live broadcast room have naturally experienced countless big events, and they know how rare it is to have a player who dares to make a move and has a strong hand at such a critical moment.
However, many viewers in the live stream were expressing their dissatisfaction.
"Are you bragging again? Lianmei can make it in the NBA? Did Yao Ming win an NBA championship or even get past the first round of the playoffs?"
"That's ridiculous. I've heard that a million times. He only made three three-pointers; it might just be a flash in the pan. Stop exaggerating!"
Mina looked at the comments in the live stream, and although she couldn't hold back her emotions, she could only ignore them.
That's how Chinese fans are.
After all, even Curry needs to prove himself all the time!
When the live stream was getting exciting, the atmosphere at the Datong Center was even more enthusiastic and frenzied.
"Oh my god! Our number 91 faked out Dillon and hit a three-pointer right in his face!!"
"Wu!!!"
The DJ's cheers instantly elicited enthusiastic shouts from the fans in the stadium.
A single ball ignited the atmosphere once again.
Even some of his teammates on the bench were waving towels and cheering.
Of course, Poole looked rather unwell...
Outside Chase Center,
"Fuck! How can there be a second overtime?! Holy crap, what kind of incredible three-pointer did number 91 make?! Shit!"
"It's such a pity we can't go back, what a shame!"
"That Chinese number 91 is so cool! If we had him on the team, we wouldn't even need to go into overtime!"
The fans who had already left stood outside Chase Center, extremely frustrated, but they did not leave.
Instead, he stood at the door and started a live stream, thus missing the opportunity to witness it in person.
But the atmosphere at the entrance was unparalleled.
on the field,
Wu Qian's shot nearly sent the Grizzlies into the abyss of death.
He then made a rudimentary gesture towards Dillon, who was lying on the ground.
"Fuck!!"
Dillon couldn't take it anymore.
This ankle sprain didn't break any bones, but Wu Qian's repeated attempts to test his mentality finally broke him.
He stood up and shoved Wu Qian aside, saying, "Rookie, you only scored a few lucky goals, what's so great about that? I could beat the shit out of you in a one-on-one fight!"
Wu Qian was naturally not intimidated; at worst, they would each commit a foul.
If it were a regular foul, Dillon would be ejected.
If it's a technical foul, one free throw for each person is not a bad deal.
Chinese players can lose a game, but they can't fight!
"Bang!"
Wu Qian rammed directly into Di Lung, shouting, "One-on-one? In a one-on-one fight, I can beat the shit out of you, and then beat you back into the shit!"
Dillon tried to step forward, but Green rushed over and shoved him aside, shouting as he did so.
"Fuck you, you horseman!"
Wu Qian's current level is such that he can serve as a good role player to provide offensive firepower for Curry.
Try to avoid accumulating a technical foul!
Otherwise, you'll be in danger of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!
Green was very smart; without thinking twice, he pushed Dillon aside and even pinched his flesh.
Dillon was naturally not convinced and went up to fight Green!
Thug Green?
He wanted to show the warriors that he, Dillon, was also a villain!
"Beep beep beep!!!"
Fortunately, the referee on the field had excellent control and blew his whistle immediately.
The Warriors and Grizzlies players quickly separated the group.
Green wasn't out of his mind; his only goal was to protect Wu Qian, so there was no need for him to do anything.
Unless Curry was being bullied!
"Wu, you did a great job!"
Curry, biting his mouthguard and panting, praised him.
After this play, the Warriors led by seven points with 49 seconds left on the shot clock.
With only one timeout remaining, the Grizzlies had practically sealed the victory!
"Thank you! But I was able to score because of you!"
Wu Qian wasn't joking. In his previous life, he only knew that Ku had a strong gravitational pull, but he really didn't expect it to be this strong.
Even if Dillon knew that the ball was most likely a play designed to benefit Curry, he wouldn't have dared to leave Curry open for that play!
Even without the ball, they always maintain a double-team formation.
This is the power of gravity!
"Beep!"
During a brief replay of their conversation, the referee gave Green and Dillon a technical foul each.
Wu Qian's foul was just a regular one.
Both teams made their free throws, and the Grizzlies gained possession.
Taylor had made tactical arrangements during the brief interval, so he didn't call a final timeout.
After all, as long as we have one timeout left, we still have a chance to catch up!
In the next possession, Morant once again kept the Grizzlies alive, forcing down a pull-up three-pointer over Wiggins' defense.
"Defend, hold them down!!"
With 35 seconds remaining in the game, the Grizzlies did not immediately resort to fouling tactics.
They'll only have a chance if they can defend this ball!
The foul count isn't full yet, so committing fouls would just be a waste of time.
We must defend this shot, then score to close the gap, and then resort to fouling tactics.
pity........
The Warriors didn't give them any opportunities, patiently controlling the time and passing the ball around the perimeter.
With seven seconds left, Curry drives to the basket and passes the ball.
Wu Qian receives the ball.
Whether the shot goes in or not is irrelevant; Curry's pass was simply to extend the clock.
If we can get in, that would be the best!
Of course, his response was the sound of a basketball swishing through the net.
"Whoosh!"
[Number of attempts remaining: 0/5]
That goal sealed the game!
