Chapter 137: The Dunk of the Century

The second quarter began.

Wade Dong returned to the court, which was his playing style.

When the Suns were behind in the first quarter, Wade Dong would return to the court at the start of the second quarter.

Seeing Wade Dong on the court, Warriors head coach Jackson did not dare use a pure bench lineup.

Thompson, Landry, and Jack stayed on the court, but Jenkins and Bogut replaced Curry and Lee.

At the start of the second quarter, Wade Dong made a three-pointer.

37:35!!!

The Suns were only down by two points.

The Warriors quickly threw a baseline pass, but Dudley hadn't run to the frontcourt yet.

Landry's pass was a bit careless, and his pass to Jenkins was intercepted by Dudley.

At this moment, Bogut was still in the Warriors' frontcourt.

Dudley stole the ball and passed it directly to Wade Dong.

This pass was sudden, and Wade Dong, after receiving the ball, dribbled twice and rushed to the basket.

Bogut saw Wade Dong coming and immediately put both hands on his lower abdomen, standing under the basket ready to draw a foul from Wade Dong.

Wade Dong seemed not to see Bogut!

He took off with the ball in one hand when he was one step away from Bogut.

...

"Wade Dong is going to dunk over Bogut!"

Yu Jia was already shouting excitedly in the live broadcast!

...

The fans in the arena also stood up!

They saw Wade Dong leap high, and just when everyone thought Wade Dong had reached his highest point, he continued to rise.

He flew over Bogut!!!

Bogut was completely stunned, feeling as if his scalp had brushed against Wade Dong's shorts.

But Wade Dong flew over his head.

"Boom!!!"

Switching from one hand to two, Wade Dong slammed the ball into the basket.

The dunk of the century!!!

The fans were familiar with this move, as Carter had done it before.

But it felt like Wade Dong jumped higher than Carter.

What terrifying leaping ability!

"Holy shit!!!"

Dudley, who was closest, witnessed this dunk by Wade Dong!

He ran up and pushed Wade Dong's teammate hard, shouting excitedly, "Boss! Boss! Boss!"

He didn't know how to express his excitement.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Rarely seen, the away fans started cheering for Wade Dong!

This dunk could only be described as shocking... The bench players were stunned, and after a moment, they started waving their towels and shouting!

"Is this what a dunk is..."

Curry, watching this dunk, was scared "pale with fright."

...

Yu Jia, "The dunk of the century!!!"

Zhang Zhidiao, "If Wade Dong doesn't participate in the dunk contest, it's a shame!"

Yu Jia, "Top play of the regular season!"

Zhang Zhidiao, "We are very honored to be broadcasting this game and witnessing this great dunk."

...

Bogut's eyes were filled with hatred and fear.

He had never hated someone so much. During the Olympics, Wade Dong didn't even bother to play against their country.

This time, Wade Dong made him a world-class background board.

Jordan, Duncan, Bosh... Many interior players had been dunked on by Wade Dong, but none were as brutal as this one. Strictly speaking, this wasn't even a dunk over someone, because Wade Dong flew over his head.

"Hey, kid!"

After completing the dunk of the century, Wade Dong didn't forget to make a gesture with his thumb and index finger, mocking, "You are this small in my eyes."

"Fuck..."

Bogut was instantly enraged and swung his fist at Wade Dong!

"Bang!!!"

Of course, this punch did not hit Wade Dong.

Because Green, who had just come off the bench, rushed over and tackled Bogut to the ground.

"Boo~~~"

Bogut's rage drew boos from the home fans.

The players were separated, and both Bogut and Green received technical fouls. Of course, after that, Jackson also took Bogut out of the game.

This dunk also became Bogut's eternal nightmare.

Originally a bench player, he lost confidence in basketball after this and was cut by the Warriors after one year. No team was willing to take in this "waste," and he disappeared from the NBA.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

...

The game between the Suns and the Warriors continued.

After Curry returned to the court, he continued his hot shooting, and Curry was not just a three-point shooter; his agile drives also gave Dragic a lot of trouble.

The first half of the game ended.

71:73!!!

The Warriors were down by 2 points.

Tonight, Curry's performance was explosive, but the Warriors had no one who could stop Wade Dong!

And in terms of scoring, even Curry was no match for Wade Dong.

The Suns maintained their lead until the end of the game.

"Beep!!!"

With the referee's whistle, the game ended.

137:143!!!

The Suns won against the Warriors by 6 points on the road.

The two offensive teams also brought the fans a scoring feast. Wade Dong played for 45 minutes, and although he did not use the "stamina pill," his shooting percentage did not drop significantly in the latter half of the fourth quarter.

Full game stats:

Wade Dong: 57 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks.

Curry: 61 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 0 blocks.

Thompson: 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks.

This was the first time in Curry's career that he scored over 60 points. Although they lost the game, Curry scored 4 more points than Wade Dong.

In this game, the Warriors set two records.

Curry made 13 out of 19 three-pointers, setting a personal single-game three-point record, and the Warriors made 27 out of 56 three-pointers, setting a team single-game three-point record.

That night, it rained three-pointers at Oracle Arena.

However, the unromantic Wade Dong "stole" the victory in what should have been Curry and the Warriors' night.

...

Post-game press conference.

A reporter asked Wade Dong, "What do you think about Curry and Thompson's three-point performance tonight?"

"I was watching with my eyes the whole time."

Wade Dong praised, "The 'Splash Brothers' are amazing."

"Splash Brothers?"

"That's a nickname I came up with for Curry and Thompson."

"But it's very fitting."

The reporter then said, "Some websites say that Curry and Thompson together are equal to you."

"That statement is a bit off."

Wade Dong winked at the reporter, "I can dunk, can they?"

"Today's 'Dunk of the Century' will definitely become a classic!"

The game between the Suns and the Warriors left fans thrilled, with the "Splash Brothers" raining three-pointers and Wade Dong responding with a "Dunk of the Century."
