Chapter 438 Olsen: Guess if he likes you or me?
In Jassim's view, Wang Xiucheng would succeed no matter what he did.
Of course, his good looks also play a part.
No one would refuse a man like that.
Beckham listened nearby, but his expression slowly changed.
He knew that Wang Xiucheng was very famous now, and many media outlets even said that Wang Xiucheng was the face of the league after the retirement of players like James and Curry.
But Beckham didn't realize that in the eyes of Jassim and Cai Congxin, Wang Xiucheng was already on par with them.
In particular, he also learned a secret: Wang Xiucheng was about to become a minority owner of the Nets.
This is a secret that absolutely no one else would know.
He knew Wang Xiucheng was very rich; the fact that he won over Fertitta for more than four billion was still a topic of conversation for many people.
But having money and gaining the approval of someone like Mrs. are two different things.
Wang Xiucheng has clearly passed the first part and has officially begun to become part of the "upper class".
Beckham worked hard his whole life and built Inter Miami himself, yet he's only worth three or four hundred million.
He's several levels below Wang Xiucheng.
Beckham began to think about how he could get in touch with Wang Xiucheng.
“I’ve made plans with Wang Xiucheng and Julia Koch tonight, would you like to come along?” Cai Congxin said to Jassim beside him as the players finished their timeout and started walking onto the field.
Upon hearing this, Jassim seemed to consider it for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's go join in the fun."
The timeout has ended, and both teams have returned to the field.
Jassim and Cai Congxin stopped talking and focused on the last minute or so of the game.
The Celtics inbound the ball from the sideline.
Jaylen Brown and Smart were both tightly marked, and Horford passed the ball to Tatum, who had run into the backcourt.
Tatum waved his hand, and everyone dispersed, indicating that he wanted to go one-on-one.
Of course, this gesture could also be a tactic to confuse the opponent.
Soon they reached the frontcourt, and Tatum circled around halfway to find space and entered the paint.
Horford has already taken Claxton out.
Tatum then stepped into the free-throw line, ready to dunk the ball for a score.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a hand slapped the ball from the side.
The basketball in Tatum's hands went out of control and fell to the ground.
He turned his head slightly and, before landing, saw the face he loathed.
Bang!
The basketball bounced to the ground, but Westbrook caught it.
Without dribbling, Westbrook passed the ball to Durant, who had already accelerated.
Durant, carrying White who had somehow switched places with him, charged forward.
White kept his center of gravity low and didn't foul; he simply blocked Durant's lower body, pushing Durant towards the sideline while slowing him down so his teammates could come to help defend.
Seeing that the fast break opportunity was gone, Durant protected the ball, ready to call a timeout at any moment.
But the next moment, Durant's eyes lit up, and he lobbed the ball over White's head.
The basketball flew diagonally into the three-point line, and two players entered the three-point line one after the other.
"Wang Xiucheng is here! Wang Xiucheng is here..." O'Neal stood up and shouted, making Barkley's ears ring.
Both Wang Xiucheng and Tatum ran into the three-point line, chasing after the ball, but Wang Xiucheng had a slight advantage in position.
With a snap, Wang Xiucheng grabbed the basketball with both hands first, and then, losing his balance, threw the basketball away.
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng shouted, "Ah..."
It was only then that everyone realized that Wang Xiucheng was also holding Tatum's arm under his arm.
Tatum quickly pulled his arm back, but it was too late.
With a whistle, just as Wang Xiucheng fell to the floor, the whistle sounded.
The referee didn't look at the two players, but instead looked at the basketball.
The basketball bounced twice on the rim before finally falling into it.
beep!
Another whistle blew, and the referee signaled to the scorer's table that the goal was valid and Tatum had committed a foul.
Wang Xiucheng rolled over and sat on the floor, waiting for his teammates to come and help him up.
At the same time, Wang Xiucheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
His knee prevented him from accelerating at full speed, otherwise Tatum would have been left far behind.
Durant, Westbrook, Ben West, and Claxton quickly surrounded Wang Xiucheng and helped him up.
Tatum has already committed four fouls, but it's impossible for him to be substituted at this point.
Standing at the free-throw line, Wang Xiu received the basketball, dribbled it, spun it around, and shot it.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
Three points scored successfully.
134:125.
In less than two minutes, the point difference was widened to 9 points.
Mazura braced her hands against the technical table to make herself appear less nervous.
There are only 45 seconds left.
It's impossible for him not to be nervous.
The Celtics inbounded the ball from the baseline. Jaylen Brown received the ball and drove all the way up the court. After drawing a double team, he passed the ball to Horford.
Without hesitation, Horford launched a three-pointer.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
The score was 134 to 128, narrowing the gap to 6 points.
Two more possessions are needed.
There are 37 seconds left.
The Celtics' attack took only 8 seconds.
Nash called a timeout.
Then, standing on the sidelines, he clapped and patted Wang Xiucheng and the others on the shoulder.
"Get moving, they'll foul you, everyone get moving..."
Nash didn't make any substitutions, even though Ben West and Claxton didn't shoot three-pointers and their free throws weren't great either.
But both of them can grab rebounds.
If the opponent misses a shot and the Nets grab the rebound, then the game is pretty much over.
Not far away, Scarlett and Olsen were both watching Wang Xiucheng.
Both of their eyes were filled with indescribable desire.
This Chinese person truly shines on the basketball court!
When the referee started calling for the players to leave, both of them simultaneously looked away, as if nothing had happened.
“I want to marry him,” Olsen suddenly said.
"Stop dreaming," Scarlett replied instinctively.
Neither of them mentioned Wang Xiucheng's name, but they both knew who the other was referring to.
“You don’t even have his phone number, how can you marry him?” Scarlett continued.
Olsen paused for a few seconds and said meaningfully, "Do you think he likes you or me?"
“I told you not to make jokes like that,” Scarlett said, her face darkening. “It’s not funny at all.”
Olsen shrugged: "I was just saying, why are you so nervous?"
After saying that, Olsen's lips curled up slightly, as if he was quite pleased with himself.
The game resumed, and Bencić stood outside the sideline to serve.
The referee was also counting down with his hand.
With just five seconds left, Benci passed the ball to Durant.
Although Claxton can receive the ball, his free throw percentage is simply too low.
If he receives the ball, the opponent will immediately foul him without hesitation.
But in fact, as soon as Durant received the ball, Jaylen Brown immediately hugged Durant as well.
The Celtics started using fouling tactics.
With a whistle, the referee blew the whistle.
Durant stood at the free throw line.
Swish!
Swish!
Both free throws went in.
136:128.
The Celtics only had one timeout left, and Mazura didn't use it.
Therefore, the Celtics could only inbound the ball from their own backcourt.
Tatum received the ball in the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer.
The basketball hit the rim, bounced once, and finally fell out.
Claxton blocked Horford, and neither of them jumped.
Benci caught the rebound and was about to throw it to Wang Xiucheng when Horford slapped Benci's hand.
beep!
The referee stopped the game again.
Horford committed a foul!
Ben West made no comment, simply high-fiving Durant and a few others before heading to the opposite basket and standing at the free-throw line.
It seems he's quite looking forward to his free throws.
