Chapter 413 Sophia: Can I know your telegram?
Stallone fell silent, as if he hadn't started the topic.
His three daughters chuckled, looking at their father and then at Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng ignored the old man and walked towards the changing room.
The three women lowered their heads and talked in hushed tones.
"Sis, we absolutely have to get a phone today."
"Do not worry."
……
Penguin Live Room.
"Welcome back to the studio."
"Xiao Wang scored 13 points, along with 6 assists and 4 steals in the first half."
"News from the front: the kid's exaggerated sliding floater from beyond the three-point line just now stepped out of bounds, so it's a two-pointer."
"Westbrook and Durant scored 11 and 12 points respectively."
"Three players scored 36 of the Nets' 62 points."
"Does Professor Yang Yi have anything to say?"
Wang Meng had just finished reading the data when he saw Yang Yi eager to try.
Yang Yi sat up straight before saying, "Compared to the first half of this season, we saw that Xiao Wang's offensive desire wasn't as strong today."
"But the Nets still lead by 9 points."
"Let's look at the scoring distribution. Westbrook got 11 points, and he took some of the shot attempts from Wang Xiucheng and Durant on the offensive end."
"This makes it very difficult for Newx to find a key defender."
"Everyone knows the Knicks' defensive level this year; they have one of the top three defensive efficiency in the entire league."
"I might miss that shot, but you definitely won't be able to."
"But facing the Nets today felt like..."
Yang Yi thought for a moment, "It's like meeting your nemesis."
"Wang Xiucheng didn't have the ball much in the first half; Westbrook had the ball most of the time. But Wang Xiucheng could still find opportunities to receive the ball and shoot, or pass it out for the final shot."
"The Knicks don't have a good solution for Wang Xiucheng."
"I'm telling you this now, the series will end at most 4-2, and the Nets will advance."
As the biggest fan of Wang Jianlin in China, Yang Yi's prediction of 4 to 2 was already very conservative.
His prediction on Weibo was "4 to 1".
He even made a bet with another fan that if they hadn't advanced 4-1, he would have given away 10 pairs of the King's Way series black and white panda edition shoes.
After finishing his conversation with Yang Yi, Wang Meng didn't forget his mission to promote the products.
What perks does Sister Na have today?
Mina, who had been standing to the side for a while, finally said, "What I brought today are Xiao Wang's sneakers."
"Not wearing a hoodie today?" Yang Yi asked at the opportune moment.
"That's right, today it's not a hoodie, it's the 2023 Wangdao sneakers, and it's the black and white panda version."
"These are the shoes I'm wearing right now."
"Anyone who purchases a full year's membership to LeaguePass during today's game will have a chance to win these shoes."
"There are 10 pairs in total. Those who want them should act fast."
……
Wang Xiucheng returned to the field to warm up before halftime.
With Wang Xiucheng setting an example, the other players also returned early.
Wang Xiucheng is not actually such a diligent person.
But today's task forced Wang Xiucheng to come back early to get back into form.
There is only one task for today.
[Task 1: After the game ends, for every point the Nets score ahead of their opponent, you will be awarded 200 system points.]
Wang Xiucheng didn't take many shots in the first half, partly because Brunson and others guarded him too tightly, and partly because his shooting touch wasn't great.
Fortunately, with Westbrook and Durant, the Nets are able to take a slight lead on the court even when they are being closely guarded.
With a thud, Wang Xiucheng's ball hit the rim and bounced towards the sidelines.
Wang Xiucheng chased after the ball and controlled it with one hand, preventing it from going into the fan zone.
Hi, can I have your phone number?
A woman sitting in the first row looked at Wang Xiucheng, who was standing close by, and asked.
Wang Xiucheng looked at it, then smiled and said, "Your dad has it, ask him."
This person is none other than Sylvester Stallone's eldest daughter, Sofia.
“But I want to ask you something.” Sofia sat up and looked up at Wang Xiucheng, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.
Wang Xiucheng paused for a moment, then said, "Then remember this."
Wang Xiucheng immediately recited a number, which Sofia promptly wrote down on her phone.
After writing down the numbers, Sofia noticed that Wang Xiucheng had already left and continued warming up.
Before I could even write my name on the number, my father and two younger sisters had already returned from a distance, carrying drinks in their hands.
"I told them I wanted to eat a hamburger, but they wouldn't let me buy it."
As soon as Stallone sat down, he said to Sofia with some resentment.
“Your blood pressure is a little high. The doctor said you shouldn’t eat this junk food.” Sofia laughed, seemingly very happy.
"So there's no drink for me either?" Stallone took the drink out of his hand.
“You can watch us drink,” Scarlett, the younger daughter, chuckled beside them.
"Hurry up and get married, even your mother doesn't control me like this." Stallone's tone was angry, but he was smiling, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being watched over by his daughters.
When this topic came up, the three women all looked at the tall boy warming up in the distance.
Just then, Stallone's phone rang.
He got up and went to answer the phone.
The three women began whispering to each other again.
"Sister, go get the phone number later, and we'll keep Dad occupied."
Sofia, who had previously been very interested in Wang Xiucheng's phone call, shook her head at this moment: "No, Dad will be angry if he finds out."
"What's wrong with you? Don't you want his call the most when you're at home?"
Sofia shook her head again: "Dad must have his reasons for not giving us his phone number."
Before the two younger sisters could say anything more, Stallone had already returned from a distance.
So the two younger sisters could only glare at their older sister who didn't keep her word.
Dad said you're most like him, and he's absolutely right. But that's not all he said, so I won't say it!
Sofia gripped her phone tightly without making a sound, as if afraid of losing it.
The three referees have returned to the field, which means the second half of the game is about to begin.
Wang Xiucheng went back to the bench, took a sip of water, and then returned to the court with Durant and the others.
With a beep, the second half of the game began as scheduled.
Having gained experience from the first half, both teams displayed their full strength at the start of the second half.
The Knicks' five players seemed to go crazy and started tearing apart the defense.
Thibodeau didn't know what he said to them during halftime, but it made them seem like they were on steroids.
The Nets hadn't adjusted at first, which led to them conceding several baskets.
Nash had no choice but to call a timeout in the third minute and substituted Ben West for Royce O'Neal, who had been making consecutive mistakes.
This allowed the Nets to return to normal.
Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks committed a staggering 10 fouls.
The game was fragmented and disjointed.
When the third quarter ended, the Nets' lead had narrowed to 6 points, 85-79.
In the third quarter, Wang Xiucheng played the full 12 minutes.
Durant and Westbrook went to the bench to rest after playing for 8 minutes.
For Wang Xiucheng, this score is acceptable.
The Knicks closed the gap to 3 points by committing multiple fouls.
These are all points that Wang Xiucheng can exploit in the fourth quarter.
For example, Brunson has already committed three fouls, and Hart has committed four.
Nash thought so too.
Without even consulting with the assistant coach, he squatted down and said to Wang Xiucheng and Durant, "Pay attention to the opponent's foul count. If there's an opportunity, try to drive to the basket more often."
