Chapter 211 The alliance needs to adapt to Wang Xiucheng, otherwise the Prodigies will be an example
Neither side changed their starting lineup for the second half.
The Nets did not let their guard down or bring in their reserves just because they were leading by 20 points.
The Wizards did not substitute other players despite the poor performance of their starters.
Both head coaches still have faith in their starting players.
I don't know if Unseld was swearing or getting some motivational talk during halftime.
At the start of the second half, the Wizards players were completely transformed from the first half, making 6 out of their first 7 shots.
In just four minutes, the Wizards went on a 17-9 run, scoring both field goals and free throws.
The Nets led 84-72, extending their lead to 12 points.
Nash had no choice but to call another timeout in the third quarter.
This was his second timeout of the game.
Nash doesn't think there's anything wrong with his players' performance.
Wang Xiucheng delivered all the winning passes perfectly, but unfortunately, the others didn't make the shots.
On the contrary, the Wizards seized every opportunity, including two tough three-pointers by Kuzma.
It can only be said that Lady Luck was on the Wizards' side for those few minutes.
Unseld was very excited at this moment, as if he saw hope of tying the score, so he quickly drew on the tactical board.
Regardless of whether the players understood or not, Unselt spoke rapidly in German to the bench, his spittle spraying onto the tactical board until it was soaked.
The pause was over quickly.
The pause proved to be effective.
Lady Luck has returned to the Nets' side.
After Wang Xiucheng called a timeout, he passed the ball to Durant, who had a wide-open shot.
Durant drained a three-pointer.
Then, after the Wizards went 6-for-7, they missed their next 5 shots.
The Nets capitalized on these five fast breaks to extend the lead back to 20 points.
Just when everyone thought the two sides would start to stalemate with a 20-point difference,
The Nets have entered berserk mode!
Wang Xiucheng, who had not scored any points in the third quarter, scored 14 points and made 5 assists in the remaining minutes of the third quarter, with a combination of drives and free throws.
This move widened the gap between the two sides to 30 points.
When the third quarter ended, the score was 109-79.
The Nets dominated the Wizards in just three quarters, ending the game early.
Nash stood on the sidelines, bumping fists with each player, and then patted Wang Xiucheng on the butt again.
He has never won such a thrilling match.
I don't know when it started, but the competition suddenly became much easier.
Before today's game, Nash received a set of data from the statistics department.
The Nets shot 39% from three-point range in their first eight games, ranking tied for fourth among the 30 teams in the league.
The number of hits ranked 7th.
This shows that, in terms of both shot attempts and made shots, the Nets are already one of the best teams in the entire league.
This is even with Bency and Claxton as burdens.
Last season, the Nets ranked in the lower half of these two statistics, and were carried entirely by Durant and Harden.
If either of the two players rests, the Nets will immediately fall to the bottom of the rankings in this statistic.
Nash believes that the reason for the significant changes this season is the addition of Wang Xiucheng.
Not only can Wang Xiucheng shoot three-pointers, but his ability to find open shots for his teammates is also top-notch in the league.
Add to that Wang Xiucheng's speed and ability to break through defenses, and his skill in passing the ball after a breakthrough...
Nash really doesn't know anyone else who has this kind of ability at this age.
He himself was still adjusting to the league when he was 20 years old.
But now Wang Xiucheng has made the alliance adapt to him.
If you can't adapt to Wang Xiucheng, then today's prodigy is an example.
After glancing at the 30-point gap, Nash decided not to let Wang Xiucheng and Durant play anymore.
Finishing in three quarters is the best reward for a player.
"you you you……"
Nash called on five players in a row, saying, "When you come on in the fourth quarter, pay attention to teamwork. I don't want to see every play being a solo effort."
The five people who were chosen all stood up and listened carefully to Nash's instructions.
Durant accepted the uniformed officer's jacket and drink, knowing he had completed his mission for the day.
After putting on his coat, Durant reached out and bumped fists with Wang Xiucheng, who was also wearing a coat next to him.
With a loud thud, the two fists separated as soon as they touched.
Across from her, Scarlett Johansson looked at Wang Xiucheng and unconsciously took out her phone, dimmed the brightness, and secretly took a picture of Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng glanced up at her as if sensing something, which made Scarlett Johansson blush again, and she immediately looked down at her phone.
The fourth quarter began quickly.
Both sides fielded reserve players.
The Nets fielded Thomas, Zeng Fanbo, Watanabe Yuta, and two players from the Development League.
The Wizards also fielded substitutes such as Rui Hachimura.
These Nets' bench players, who don't usually get many opportunities, are cherishing this rare chance to play.
For the fans, however, the game is already over.
Trailing by 30 points, the Wizards have no chance of catching up with their bench.
Indeed, this is true; not only have they failed to catch up, but they have fallen further and further behind.
Cameron Thomas, given enough time, is a complete score-farming machine.
Given that both sides are substitutes, neither can really criticize the other's defense.
So when the game ended, the score was 128-86, with the Nets winning by a whopping 42 points.
The biggest point difference in a game so far this season has occurred.
After shaking hands with Nash, Unseld immediately left the court and headed towards the players' tunnel.
Not only him, but the other Wizards players also lowered their heads and quickly left this place of sorrow, showing no interest in shaking hands with their opponents.
Only Yuta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura seemed unaffected, with their arms around each other's shoulders and covering their mouths, seemingly whispering some secrets.
“Kevin, come with me to the post-game press conference,” Nash called out to Durant.
Durant pursed his lips and could only stand up.
He was actually unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, but Wang Xiucheng had made it clear that he did not want to participate.
If Durant doesn't go soon, the reporters will have something to say, especially when it's a home game.
That's Wang Xiucheng. If it were anyone else, Durant would have kicked him twice.
Then you'll have to say something like, "If you're not going, do you expect me to go?"
And Durant now...
Go ahead and go, it'll only take a few minutes.
Upon finding Zeng Fanbo, Wang Xiucheng draped one of the two towels he was holding over him, then put his arm around him and led him directly to the basket, where Zhang Manyuan was already waiting.
Zhang Manyuan's eyes nearly watered as she looked at Wang Xiucheng's sweaty face.
She is a fitness enthusiast, and her amazing figure is her masterpiece.
Therefore, she has absolutely no resistance to athletic boys.
Besides, this is Wang Xiucheng, so she couldn't wait to get her hands on him.
"First of all, congratulations to the Nets for easily defeating their opponent at home. Now, could you two give your comments on the game?"
Wang Xiucheng held a towel in his hand, then lowered his head slightly and leaned closer to the microphone: "We rested for two days, and the whole team is in great shape. It's only right that we beat the Wizards. You know, we have Durant. We just need to give him the ball."
After a round of mutual compliments, Wang Xiucheng continued, "Of course, the other teammates also performed very well today. It seems like everyone has a positive or negative score, right?"
