Ginobili's layup was blocked by Wei Guo, which dampened the Spurs' morale a bit.

Robinson stood on the sidelines, holding the ball above his head in preparation for inbounding the ball, and said, "The Rockets can't beat us with just Weiguo. Let's all work harder, and we'll definitely win this game."

"Huh???"

Francis and his group were immediately displeased.

Robinson's words were very pointed at them. No one denies that Wei Guo is the strongest player on the Rockets, but Robinson's words made it seem as if Wei Guo was the only player on the Rockets.

"Don't let him distract you..."

Wei Guo said, "This bad guy has gotten old."

"Whoosh~~~"

Robinson passed the ball to Duncan in the paint, and Duncan went one-on-one against Thomas, making a bank shot.

13:11!!

The Spurs are down by 2 points.

There were 6 minutes and 27 seconds left in the first quarter.

........

Robinson was an honest man, but he was instructed by a master to target other Rockets players during the game.

The Rockets players have excellent chemistry.

The tactics were also centered around Wei Guo, with Robinson stimulating the other players. If someone got carried away and started one-on-one plays, the Rockets' chemistry would be gone.

only...

Robinson underestimated the Rockets' players.

The Rockets are on offense.

Yao Ming set a screen for Wei Guo off the ball. Wei Guo received a pass from Francis and, facing Duncan's defense, executed a backheel shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

15:11!!

Then...

The Rockets once again put the Spurs on the offensive, and Wei Guo pulled up for a three-pointer.

"Whoosh!!!"

It's another hollow ball.

18:11!!

Popovich was upset. He didn't call a timeout because they were behind. The Spurs' defense was very solid, and they were only able to score because Wei Guo was having such a good shooting touch.

........

The first quarter has ended.

31:22!!

The Rockets lead by 9 points.

Wei Guo made all nine of his shots in the first quarter, scoring 22 points, which was key to the Rockets' lead.

Popovich confidently stated, "It's impossible for Wei Guo to maintain such a good touch all the time!"

and...

Wei Guo has excellent passing awareness, and Popovich does not allow more than three Spurs players to double-team him, which will inevitably create scoring opportunities for players like Yao Ming and Francis.

It's better to let Wei Guo score than to let him pass the ball.

This famous quote comes from Popovich. In games against the Rockets, he can make Wei Guo score 50+ or ​​60+ points in a single game... but if the ball doesn't move around, the Spurs can still win easily.

The Spurs were down by 9 points in the first quarter because Wei Guo was on fire. The Spurs' defense was flawless, yet Wei Guo made all 9 of his shots.

The Rockets' bench.

Gentry said with a chuckle, "I have a feeling that Wei will maintain this good touch throughout the entire game."

That's true...

Perhaps because he once scored 100 points in a game against the Spurs, Wei Guo feels like the basketball hoop is as big as the ocean whenever he faces the Spurs.

The same applies to this match.

......

Three minutes into the second quarter, Wei Guo sat on the sidelines to rest.

With Yao Ming and Mobley remaining on the court, their strong performances prevented the Spurs from closing the gap. When Wei Guo entered the game, the Rockets still held a 9-point lead.

After Wei Guo entered the game, Bowen closely guarded him outside the three-point line.

Francis tossed the ball over Wei Guo, who jumped and caught it. Bowen tried to interfere, but his height, wingspan, and jumping ability were simply not enough to reach the ball.

After receiving the ball, Wei Guo turned around and, as Bowen moved to the left, executed another reverse crossover dribble, easily creating space for a shot.

Bowen pounced!

Wei Guo performed another Buddhist bow, sending Bowen flying.

The entire sequence of movements... there aren't many guards in the league who can execute it so smoothly.

After shaking off Bowen, Wei Guo dribbled and went for a layup, using two consecutive reverse layups in mid-air to evade Duncan and Robinson, before easily putting the ball into the basket.

37:26!!

The Rockets lead by 11 points.

......

"It's really impossible to defend against!"

"Even Jordan couldn't pull off this combo!"

"Weiguo is now invincible!"

"We just need to sit on our little stools and quietly enjoy the performance!"

......

Wei Guo showed the world that people of Asian descent can also become top basketball players. With Yao Ming entering the league, basketball has become one of the most popular sports in China.

Many small restaurants near schools have televisions installed.

Whenever the Rockets play, some students skip class and sneak off to small restaurants or internet cafes to watch the game live.

certainly...

This behavior is unacceptable. If Principal Qi encountered such disobedient students, he would definitely criticize them severely. It's fine to like basketball, but it shouldn't interfere with their studies.

......

In the second quarter, the Spurs still couldn't stop Wei Guo's hot shooting.

63:49!!

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

In the second quarter, Wei Guo played for 8 minutes and scored 23 points, making all 7 of his field goal attempts and all 6 of his free throws. This brought his total to 45 points in the first half, just 4 points less than the Spurs' total score.

16 shots, 16 made...

This is another league record.

Worried that a missed shot in the second half would break the record, some fans even hoped that Wei Guo would not take any more shots in the second half and maintain the record.

The home team locker room.

Gentry wasn't in the kitchen; he was also discussing with Wei Guo, "In the second half, we should attack the basket as much as possible, finish the offense with the most reliable dunks, and maintain this 100% shooting percentage. That would be such a cool thing."

"Old Jin..."

Wei Guo said with a stern face, "I must criticize you. Our goal is to win the game, not to worry about those vague records!"

"I agree with Brother Wei!"

Cummings immediately chimed in, "Anyway, it won't be ten years before all these records belong to Brother Wei, and none of them will escape."

The Spurs never expected to sweep the Rockets 4-0, but they will never give up as long as there is a chance to win any game.

Popovich constantly motivated the players in the locker room while adjusting the team's defensive strategy.

Wei Guo made all 16 of 16 shots in the first half. If this hot streak isn't extinguished, the Spurs have no hope of winning.

......

The second half began, and the key players returned to the field.

The Spurs inbound the ball from the baseline.

Parker dribbled in a different direction, using his speed to get past Francis, and then passed the ball to Duncan under the basket via handoff.
