There were only 4 minutes and 29 seconds left in the first half.

Wei Guo dribbled the ball and said, "Brothers, give it your all! We need to go into the second half with a 15-point lead."

"good!"

Several 76ers players echoed loudly.

"You're dreaming!"

Carlisle, his face stern, stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Get the intensity up there! Don't let this rookie score!"

But defending the country isn't so easy...

Facing Nowitzki's defense, Wei Guo found a breakthrough space with three consecutive crossovers, drove past Nowitzki to the basket, and easily put the ball into the hoop with a flick of his wrist.

45:41!!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Wei Guo did not celebrate his point, but led his teammates back to defense.

Finley found an opportunity, received a pass from Nash, and drove to the basket for a layup, where Mutombo was waiting for him under the basket.

*Smack!!!*

Mutombo slapped the basketball away and wagged his index finger at Finley.

"How pretentious!"

Watching this scene, Wei Guo thought to himself, "I'll have to try it myself in a bit!"

The basketball was swatted out of bounds, and the Mavericks inbounded the ball. Perhaps affected by Mutombo, Finley missed a mid-range shot, Mutombo grabbed the defensive rebound, and passed the ball to Wei Guo.

Wei Guo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and stopped three steps away from the three-point line!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Guo launched a three-pointer...

"Nonsense! This is simply..."

Brown slapped his thigh, but after seeing the basketball fall into the basket, he immediately changed his tune, "That was a fantastic shot!"

He hit that incredible three-pointer from way beyond the arc...

Wei Guo shook his index finger at the entire Mavericks team.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and called a technical foul on Wei Guo.

"What???"

Wei Guo looked at the referee, puzzled, "Why did you call a technical foul on me?"

The referee said, "Because you are provoking your opponent!"

"Is this considered provoking the opponent?"

Wei Guo held his index finger up to the referee's face and shook it vigorously.

"???"

The referee's eyes widened; the index finger was almost touching his nose. This guy was not only provoking his opponent, but also the referee!

The referee was about to blow the whistle again when Coleman and Halprin quickly stepped between Wei Guo and the referee. One comforted Wei Guo, and the other apologized to the referee, saying, "He's just a rookie and doesn't understand these things. Don't take it to heart... If he gets two technical fouls in a row, he'll be ejected."

"Why did he give me a technical foul?"

"That's just how the league referees are, don't take it to heart."

Halprin managed to calm Weiguo down, but Weiguo still gently said two words to the referee, "Idiot."

The referee raised an eyebrow. "What did you say?"

That's his hometown dialect...

Halprin quickly stepped in to explain, "It means the same as 'hello'."

......

Nash executed the technical foul free throw.

Wang Zhizhi sat on the bench, unsure if Wei Guo was a fearless newcomer. Wei Guo had arrived in the NBA near the end of last season's regular season and had been cautiously navigating the environment...

In his second game in the league, Ke Weiguo dared to provoke his opponent and almost got into a fight with the referee.

and...

Da Zhi noticed that after the game restarted, Wei Guo acted as if nothing had happened and focused on the game, a mentality that was not typical of a young player.

In the final four minutes of the second quarter, Wei Guo scored another 9 points and 3 assists.

63:49!!

The Suns went into halftime with a 14-point lead.

Wei Guo's stats for the first half were: 27 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

In this era of intense physical contact, scoring is not so easy. A 50+ point game can be touted by the media for a long time. In Wei Guo's second professional game, he had already scored 27 points in the first half!

......

Away game locker room.

Brown sat down next to Wei Guo and patiently advised, "You played very well in the first half, but you can't provoke the opponent or the referee."

"Why was he okay when he shook his finger?"

Wei Guo pointed at Mutombo and asked.

"He was on defense, and he made a really good block."

Brown said, "Besides, he was only wagging his index finger at one person, but you were wagging your finger at the entire Mavericks team, and you even shoved your index finger into the referee's face and shook it hard."

Wei Guo didn't know...

His action backfired spectacularly on Mutombo. Originally, it would have taken several years for Mutombo's signature finger-wagging gesture to be banned by the league, but after this game, the league introduced a new rule, specifically informing the 76ers that during a game, wagging the index finger at an opponent under any circumstances is a provocative act and will be called a technical foul.

The home team locker room.

Carlisle thought for a long time before saying, "There has never been a player like Wei Guo in the league. I originally thought Magic Johnson was invincible, but I didn't expect someone to be even more valiant than him."

"Wei Guo's skills aren't as comprehensive as Johnson's, but his three-pointers are hard to defend!"

"Perhaps it hasn't been shown yet..."

Nowitzki said, "Western University didn't play a single game in four years, so much so that the scouting reports said he couldn't play. My knowledge of him was limited to those seven minutes against the Timberwolves and these two quarters today."

"Let's start double-teaming Weiguo in the second half."

Carlisle sighed. "We don't know this player, so this is all we can do."

Dazhi listened with a pounding heart, as if his compatriot had become a monstrous threat.

......

The second half of the game has begun.

Nash bypassed Wei Guo and made a mid-range shot.

63:51!!

The Mavericks began to close the gap, and when Wei Guo had the ball again, Finley and Nash double-teamed him, but this didn't faze Wei Guo.

Wei Guo passed the ball directly to Iverson, who received it and scored a layup.

65:51!!

After being double-teamed, Wei Guo noticeably reduced his individual attacks, instead drawing the defense away and allowing his teammates to attack.

However, in terms of defense, although these three star cards do not have much defensive experience, Wei Guo made up for his lack of defensive experience by using his height and wingspan, making it difficult for Nash to score against Wei Guo's defense.

Time ticked by, second by second...

With 2 minutes and 17 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Wei Guo and Iverson were substituted off the court.

83:76!!

The 76ers' lead has dwindled to just 7 points.

Wang Zhizhi entered the game with 3 minutes and 6 seconds left in the third quarter. After he defended Wei Guo's offensive play, Wei Guo went to the bench to rest.

Wei Guo has just left the field...

Jones made a passing error, the ball was stolen by Nash, Nash dribbled up the court, and made a sudden stop and faked a move under the basket.

Hand-to-hand pass...

Wang Zhizhi, who had caught up, received a pass from Nash and scored with a layup.
