The first half has ended.

61:45!!

The Chinese men's basketball team led by 16 points. Both teams played similarly with few offensive plays. The US men's basketball team made a maximum of three passes per possession, while the Chinese men's basketball team made even fewer, with a maximum of one pass.

Wei Guo takes the ball and attacks!

As long as Wei Guo passes the ball out, it will definitely be an open shot opportunity for one of his teammates.

and...

Wei Guo has emphasized many times that if he passes the ball out, the person receiving the ball must shoot decisively without any hesitation.

Wei Guo, who scored 27 points in the first quarter, had already scored 49 points and had 6 assists in the first half.

The team's overall field goal percentage was 79%, mainly due to Wei Guo's low field goal percentage. Of the six players on the Chinese men's basketball team who attempted a shot, Wei Guo's field goal percentage ranked only third.

Yao Ming made both of his shots, a 100% shooting percentage.

Dazhi made every single shot, a 100% shooting percentage.

Wei Guo made 21 of 27 shots, a shooting percentage of only 77%.

........

During halftime, Wei Guo reminded his teammates, "I played a bit selfishly today."

Even if we win this match, we cannot use the tactics employed in this match as our standard tactics.

Besides the US men's basketball team, several other teams will also pose a threat to us. The quarterfinals will be tougher with each game.

Grit your teeth! Our goal this year is the Men's Basketball World Championship!

These few words, though simple, were very encouraging when combined with the lead in the first half. The teammates were all like they had been injected with chicken blood.

Wang Hu hesitated.

After Wei Guo finished speaking, Wang Hu said, "In the second quarter, for a few minutes, we used four big men. I think that lineup was pretty good..."

"That's good."

Yu Dong muttered, "Wei Guo has already completed the attack, but Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi haven't even reached the three-point line yet."

From a professional point of view, this is a very unreasonable lineup. Basketball is a five-player game, but only Wei Guo is involved in the offense, with Li Xun at most.

"Don't try this lineup lightly."

Wei Guo said, "It's unreasonable to begin with, and we can't ignore the players on the US men's basketball team. Their level is still above most of yours. Give them a little opportunity and they can score. Play at a normal pace, do a good job of zone defense, and don't let them score easily. Leave the rest to me."

Wei Guo spoke very politely, referring to the majority of people, not everyone except himself.

On the US men's basketball team side, head coach Karl is throwing a tantrum.

Although it was a hastily assembled lineup, it was still a playoff-level team, yet they were down by 16 points in the first half.

I can't stand it...

......

The second half of the game is about to begin.

Kobe and his friends remained seated on the sidelines, accompanied by their family and friends.

Although the US men's basketball team was behind, Weiguo scored 49 points in the first half! They were going to enjoy Weiguo's explosive scoring performance.

International basketball competition.

With only 10 minutes in a quarter, Wei Guo scored 49 points against a team that was no weaker than the NBA playoffs in just 20 minutes. This kind of terrifying scoring explosiveness is something that even Jordan in his prime would have had a hard time achieving.

US men's basketball team attack.

Pierce dribbled the ball in the mid-range, went one-on-one against Wei Dong, used his strong body to push up to the basket, and then turned and jumped for a shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

Karl crossed his arms and did not cheer for Pierce for the goal.

Wei Guo said to Da Zhi, "When Pierce attacks Wei Dong, you should go up and help defend."

"It was my fault!"

Wang Zhizhi admitted that Pierce had already reached the basket, and if he had come up to help defend, Pierce wouldn't have been able to score so easily.

Wei Guo dribbled the ball, faked out O'Neal with a quick move beyond the three-point line, took a step towards the inside, and then suddenly circled back to the three-point line.

This operation...

This gave Wei Guo a wide-open shot beyond the three-point line, so Wei Guo adjusted his position before taking the shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

64:47!!

The point difference continues to widen, and it's about to reach 20 points.

"Run!"

Carl stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Play your game!"

Andre orchestrated the attack, executing several consecutive passes and cuts, causing problems for the Chinese men's basketball team's defense once again.

Jermaine O'Neal received the ball, took a step forward, and jumped, intending to score with a powerful dunk.

"grass!!!"

Wei Guo cursed and charged straight towards the basket, leaping high when he was still two steps away from Jermaine O'Neal.

The basket was right above Jermaine O'Neal's head!

In just a fraction of a second, Wei Guo had already pressed down on the basketball with one hand and pushed it down forcefully!

"ah..."

Many fans immediately closed their eyes!

What they were afraid of was not that Jermaine O'Neal would fall to the ground, but that after Wei Guo blocked O'Neal's dunk, he would crash into the backboard due to inertia.

Although Wei Guo adjusted his posture in time, his shoulder and back still slammed into the backboard.

What's scary isn't that he hit the backboard, but that after hitting it, Wei Guo fell face-down, which is extremely dangerous.

If you land face-first.

But then he'd be disfigured...

If you brace yourself on your arm, it's easy to fracture a bone. Although Wei Guo isn't worried about these things, a fall really hurts.

Yao Ming is the closest.

The moment Wei Guo fell, Yao Ming grabbed him and caught him. Da Zhi also rushed over and helped Yao Ming support Wei Guo.

"Bang!!!"

Wei Guo, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi all fell to the ground together, with Wang Zhizhi suffering the worst... Yao Ming was only thrown to the side, but Wang Zhizhi cushioned Wei Guo's fall.

After falling, Wei Guo immediately got up and pulled Da Zhi up, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Da Zhi looked Wei Guo up and down, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine too..."

The Chinese men's basketball team's bench players were also on tenterhooks!

The back hitting the backboard—that's an incredible leap! And Wei Guo's block on Jermaine O'Neal was a powerful one, pinning O'Neal down with the ball and the player.

"That bounce..."

Kobe exclaimed in surprise, "He's much better than me."

........

After Jermaine O'Neal fell, the basketball fell into Guo Qiang's hands.

The referee blew his whistle after Wei Guo fell, signaling a pause in the game, but did not call a defensive foul on Wei Guo.

sometimes...

The officiating standards in international basketball games are also very lenient; fouls are rarely called if possible.

Once it was determined that Wei Guo was out of time, the referee signaled for the game to continue.

China's men's basketball team is on offense. Wei Guo receives the inbound pass from the baseline. While dribbling, he unconsciously stretches his shoulder. The impact with the backboard was really hard, especially on his shoulder, which is very painful!
