Chương 467: Chapter 467: Is Wade Dong of HG Descent?
With only an 18-point deficit, the SL men's basketball team put all their main players on the court. This move wasn't necessarily to win the game but to avoid an embarrassing loss.
After all, the Huaxia men's basketball team's main players were all sitting on the bench. Once the point difference was reduced to 5 points, it was clear that Wade Dong and Huang Yu would return to the court and widen the lead again.
The fourth quarter began.
Dragic and Murić executed a beautiful pass and cut combination, followed by a mid-range shot from Dragic.
79:63!!!
The SL men's team was now only 16 points behind.
However, their head coach, Zdovc, remained calm, sitting on the bench with his arms crossed.
The SL men's team had already strategically conceded this game. Even if the point difference narrowed to just 10 points, Zdovc wouldn't call a timeout.
Ding Hang inbounded the ball, and Lin Hao dribbled to the frontcourt, signaling his teammates to set a pick-and-roll before driving to the basket for a layup!
Immediately after, Omic responded inside, assisting Slokar in making a three-pointer.
81:66!!!
The point difference was only 15 points, but a quarter only lasted ten minutes.
Neither Deng Hua nor Zdovc called a timeout, and time quickly passed.
In the end, the Huaxia men's basketball team won their first group stage match of the Basketball World Cup, defeating the SL men's team 103:91.
The game statistics were as follows:
Wade Dong: 15 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.
Huang Yu: 27 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 0 blocks.
Lin Hao: 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 0 blocks.
Yi Nan: 13 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.
Li Pei: 13 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0 steals, and 1 block.
Dragic: 21 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks.
Omic: 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.
...
Five players on the Huaxia men's team scored in double digits. Wade Dong made all six of his shots, scoring only 15 points, which also indicated how easily the Huaxia men's team won this game.
Recalling the 2006 World Championships, the Huaxia men's team was also considered a strong team back then. However, their victory over the SL men's team was secured with a last-second buzzer-beater... Times had changed, and eight years later, the SL men's team wouldn't give the Huaxia men's team another chance for a buzzer-beater.
After the game, a young SL player named Lobek mustered the courage to approach Wade Dong. "Brother Dong, can you give me a signed jersey?"
"Sure!"
Although he wasn't familiar with this young player, Wade Dong was generous and took off his jersey, signed it, and gave it to Lobek. He also encouraged him, saying, "Play hard and strive to become an excellent player like Dragic."
There was no sarcasm in his words.
There were indeed many superstars in the league, but it was undeniable that Dragic was also an excellent player and the undisputed leader of this SL men's team.
"Thank you, Brother Dong!"
Lobek received the signed jersey and bowed to Wade Dong to express his gratitude.
He was very polite...
"Wow~~~"
However, when Wade Dong took off his jersey, revealing his well-built upper body still glistening with sweat, nearly ten thousand female fans in the audience couldn't contain their excitement.
"Wade Dong, I love you~"
"Wade Dong, I love you~"
"Wade Dong, I love you~"
Despite knowing that Wade Dong was already married, many female fans began to express their love for him.
"Damn... Are Europeans this passionate?"
Wade Dong's expression changed, and he quickly headed towards the players' tunnel, escorted by security guards to the locker room.
"Hmm~ Tsk tsk~"
Li Jiajia was watching the live broadcast at home. Seeing Wade Dong bare his upper body in public, she pouted, feeling a little unhappy.
...
The Basketball World Cup matches were back-to-back. After playing the SL men's team, the Huaxia men's team would face the HG men's team the next day.
The HG men's team was also an Asian team.
However, before the game started, a piece of news went viral.
An HG netizen listed eight pieces of solid evidence, claiming that Wade Dong had HG ancestry and should belong to the HG men's team instead of the Huaxia men's team. He further stated that Wade Dong's participation in the Huaxia men's team against the HG men's team was an act of betrayal.
The eight pieces of evidence were:
First, Wade Dong is 198 cm tall, and HG people generally have a taller stature.
Second, Wade Dong was voted the most handsome athlete, and HG people are generally good-looking.
Third, Wade Dong is the slam dunk king, and HG has many famous dunkers.
Fourth, ...
All eight pieces of evidence were quite far-fetched. After this news went viral in Huaxia, few fans were angry; most found it amusing, and many even took pleasure in the HG team's misfortune.
"This guy will be the biggest pig teammate of the year!"
"Haha... A poisoned milk! The HG men's team is in for a tough time."
"I bet Brother Dong can't wait to crush the HG men's team."
"I can't wait for tomorrow night's game."
...
The game between the Huaxia men's team and the HG men's team was scheduled for the early morning of the third day in Beijing time.
Fans who loved the excitement stayed up late to watch the game.
Zhang Zhidao and Yu Jia were also live-streaming this match.
Yu Jia asked, "Zhang Zhidao, did you see yesterday's trending news about Wade Dong being of HG descent?"
Zhang Zhidao replied, "Yes, it was quite funny."
Yu Jia continued, "If Wade Dong knew about this, do you think he would be angry?"
Zhang Zhidao said, "Wade Dong already knows... I texted him yesterday."
Yu Jia laughed, "Haha... Zhang Zhidao, you have a mischievous side too."
Zhang Zhidao responded, "Even if I didn't tell him, Wade Dong would still find out. It's all over the headlines."
...
"Damn it!"
Naturally, Wade Dong was furious when he learned about this. Before the game, he said, "Tonight, I don't want to see the HG men's team score more than 30 points!"
"This is really infuriating!"
"Let's crush the HG men's team and show them what we're made of!"
"Damn it!"
The HG netizen's comments directly angered the Huaxia men's team.
The HG men's team was already a weak team in the Basketball World Cup, and even in Group D, they were at the bottom. Instead of praying for the HG men's team, the HG netizen attacked Wade Dong, which was like digging their own grave.
Before the game, the players warmed up on the court.
On the HG men's team's side, whenever a player dunked during warm-ups, they would receive cheers from the crowd.
It seemed that the HG netizen's comments had only spread in Huaxia, and the HG men's team was still unaware of it, so they maintained a good attitude. Some even took the initiative to approach Wade Dong for a chat, only to be ignored by him.
The arena was packed to capacity.
Unlike the previous game, where about ten percent of the fans supported the SL men's team, this game was a sea of red, with all the fans wearing the Huaxia team's red jerseys.
