Chapter 473: Chapter 473: The Quarter-Finals (Part 2)
"Wade Dong, I admit you're strong, but if you play like this, you're just asking for trouble!"
The BZ men's basketball coach was also unhappy with Wade Dong's taunts, and he retorted from the sidelines.
He felt that Wade Dong was deliberately falling into his tactical trap.
The first ball caught the BZ men's basketball team off guard, but once they adjusted, it wouldn't be so easy for Wade Dong to play like that again.
Just because you can jump high doesn't mean you can keep dunking over people. There are many 'Jumping Jacks' in the NBA, but only a few are superstars.
The BZ men's basketball team attacked, and the ball was in Varejao's hands. Yinan moved forward to help defend.
Varejao passed the ball to Splitter with a hand-to-hand pass. The defender against Splitter was the weak Gu Qi. Splitter was a little arrogant, and he jumped up from his original position, dunking the ball with one hand over Gu Qi!
2:2!!!
This was the BZ men's basketball team's tactic.
Obviously, they played the first ball very successfully.
The Huaxia men's basketball team attacked, and Wade Dong received a mid-range pass from Lin Hao, faked Neto, and took a step to the basket.
"Slap!"
Just as Wade Dong was about to shoot, Varejao hit his arm.
Varejao hummed, "Even if it's a foul, I won't let you score!"
"You haven't been beaten up by society, have you~"
Wade Dong chuckled and walked to the free throw line. After making both free throws, he asked Varejao, "I still got two points, and you even fouled. Don't you feel it's not worth it?"
"Don't commit unnecessary fouls!"
The BA men's basketball coach also stood on the sidelines to remind Varejao.
In the previous play, Varejao had already positioned himself well and had a chance to interfere with Wade Dong's scoring, but he chose to commit the most brainless foul, which was a bit reckless.
Gu Qi and Yinan struggled against the BZ men's basketball team's three big men.
"Ah!"
There was a physical confrontation between Varejao and Gu Qi when Varejao was driving to the basket, and Varejao exaggeratedly threw the ball away.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew the whistle and called a defensive foul on Gu Qi.
Only four minutes into the first quarter, Gu Qi had already committed his second personal foul.
"How the hell is this a foul?!"
Gu Qi pointed at Varejao and scolded the referee, "He's performing, can't you see that?"
"Kid, you're still a bit green~"
Seeing that the referee didn't pay attention to Gu Qi, Varejao had a smug look on his face.
Deng Hua patted Li Pei, "Go and substitute Gu Qi. Remember, let Dongge teach Varejao a lesson."
Li Pei walked onto the court and substituted Gu Qi.
According to international basketball rules, a player is disqualified after five fouls.
Gu Qi had already committed two fouls in the first quarter, so Li Pei had to substitute him.
"Swish!!!"
"g~~~"
Varejao made one of two free throws. Wade Dong grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lin Hao before running to the frontcourt.
Wade Dong went to the basket to ask for the ball. Lin Hao passed the ball to Wade Dong, who just stuck to Varejao's body. He wanted to initiate physical contact and then score.
But he didn't expect...
As soon as Wade Dong touched Varejao, Varejao immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain, "Ah!!! Foul! Wade Dong fouled me~"
"What the..."
Wade Dong was a bit stunned. What kind of skill was this? Was it the 'Eighteen Touches of Death'?
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew the whistle again and called an offensive foul on Wade Dong.
"Your nose hair must be blocking your eyes. Can't you see that he's flopping?!"
Wade Dong also scolded the referee.
Varejao lay on the ground with a smug look, as if he had beaten Wade Dong.
...
[Do you want to exchange Varejao's flopping skill pack?
"Get lost!"
[It's a clearance sale! Just 2 talent points... 2 talent points, you won't regret it, 2 talent points, you won't be fooled.]
"I'm telling you to get lost!"
[Okay~]
...
Wade Dong didn't bother with the system, which was just trying to stir up trouble. He didn't want the flopping skill pack even if it was given to him for free.
The Huaxia men's basketball team only led by two points, and the ball possession returned to the BZ men's basketball team.
This was also one of the BZ men's basketball team's tactics: to constantly draw fouls and cause trouble for the Huaxia men's basketball team, as the Huaxia team relied heavily on their key players, especially after Wade Dong's offensive foul, which almost caused the BZ men's basketball team's bench to erupt.
If Wade Dong fouled out... they would have won half the battle.
After Gu Qi was substituted, Wade Dong joined the interior defense. During the offense, Nene actively sought out Wade Dong. He faked twice under the basket and even deliberately bumped into Wade Dong before shooting, also trying to draw a foul from Wade Dong.
"Slap!!!"
Wade Dong swatted Nene's shot away with a palm and coldly said, "Who gave you the courage to play me one-on-one?"
Yinan received the ball and passed it to Huang Yu, who then passed it to Lin Hao. Wade Dong had already run to the frontcourt, and Lin Hao passed the ball to Wade Dong.
Wade Dong stopped at the three-point line and shot.
"Swish!!!"
The ball swished through the net.
14:9!!!
Wade Dong gradually revealed his cold-blooded killer aura.
When defending, Varejao deliberately bumped into Wade Dong's shoulder and then fell to the ground again in an exaggerated manner.
"This is not how you play basketball."
Wade Dong simply stepped over Varejao.
Varejao's fall was too fake, and since Wade Dong wasn't dribbling, the referee just glanced at Varejao on the ground and didn't call a foul on Wade Dong.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Varejao quickly got up from the ground.
Just like Nene, Splitter also only targeted Wade Dong when he had the ball. He drove to the basket and tried a hook shot over Wade Dong.
"Slap!"
Wade Dong swatted the ball onto the backboard and grabbed the rebound!
The BZ men's basketball team didn't know what they were thinking, but after being blocked twice in a row by Wade Dong, they still didn't give up.
"Slap!!!"
Varejao's dunk attempt over Wade Dong was also swatted away by Wade Dong!
"Don't you know that I was the NBA's back-to-back blocks leader for two consecutive seasons?"
Wade Dong was a bit puzzled and asked curiously, "Are you always this brave?"
...
18:9!!!
The BZ men's basketball team's coach also felt that something was wrong and quickly called a timeout.
"It's right to try to draw fouls on Wade Dong, but you can't play like this!"
"The most difficult player to deal with on the Huaxia men's basketball team is Wade Dong, whether it's inside or outside. When attacking inside, you need to cooperate more and create space for shooting."
"Pay attention to help defense, don't let anyone get open! I don't want to see Li Pei and Lin Hao getting easy shots!"
"..."
After a series of unhelpful comments, the coach asked, "What is our goal?"
"Championship! Championship! Championship!"
The BZ men's basketball team loudly answered the coach and returned to the court.
