With 17 seconds left on the offensive end, Nelson set up his final offensive play.

The Mavericks have scoring ability at every position, but he still decided to give the last shot to Nowitzki.

The Nets need more than just scoring!

We also need to control the game time and try not to give the Nets any opportunities, because Wei Guo has made 13 game-winning shots in his career so far!

The accuracy rate of Wei Guo's decisive kill is 100%...

Nelson firmly believed that if Wei Guo had just 5 seconds left, he would be able to win the game, so there was no time to spare.

......

Jamison crosses over to inbound the ball, and the Mavericks make cross-court runs!

Jamison swung his long arm and passed the ball to Nash in the corner. Tyronn Lue stuck close to Nash, not giving him a chance to shoot.

Nash dribbled the ball close to the three-point line at the top of the arc. Jamison stood firm on the left side of the free-throw line. Nowitzki moved to the outside, and Jamison just happened to screen Mourning for him. Nash accurately passed the ball to Nowitzki!

With 7 seconds left in the game...

Gentry's palms were sweaty, and Nowitzki was unmarked when he received the ball!

Nowitzki respected Wei Dong's spirit of fighting until he fainted, but he also wanted to win the game, so he immediately took a one-legged fadeaway jumper after receiving a pass from Nash!

Wei Guo reappeared like a ghost once again...

*Smack!!!*

Wei Guo caught the basketball in mid-air; it was definitely not goaltending, because the basketball was still rising into the air!

Nelson stomped his foot and yelled, "Dirk, foul him!!!"

At this point, a foul could be called, followed by a three-pointer, offering a chance to tie the game. However, if a foul isn't committed, the game is lost. But how could Wei Guo give Nowitzki the opportunity to foul? He's like a catfish, darting around and dodging Nowitzki!

Wei Guo dribbles the ball up the court!

4 seconds left... 3 seconds left... 2 seconds left... 1 second left...

No one on the Mavericks could catch Wei Guo. Even as time ran out, Wei Guo still couldn't put the ball in the basket. As long as Wei Guo didn't score, it would be Wei Dong's game-winning shot against the Mavericks!

"Beep!!!"

The final whistle blew!

97:96!!

The Nets defeated the Mavericks by one point at home.

"Wow..."

"Wow..."

"Wow..."

The audience gave the loudest cheer of the night!

Cummings...Tyronn Lue...these two guys lay sprawled out on the field like scoundrels, enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

Match statistics:

Wei Guo: 27 points, 27 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 7 blocks

Wei Dong: 25 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

Cummings: 21 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks

......

You guys are amazing!

Nelson and Gentry shook hands and hugged. "If I met you guys in the Finals this year, I might just surrender!"

"You flatter me!"

Gentry didn't mince words, "We are really strong!"

Finley apologized to Wei Guo after the game, saying, "I had no choice but to play that kind of shameless defense. I didn't expect that I still couldn't beat you guys."

Wei Guo laughed and said, "This tactic... was wrong from the start. You know, I've had several games where I scored 60+ points but the team still lost. If the two of you guard me closely, my teammates will be on a four-on-three basis. My teammates are very strong!"

"Oh, right..."

Finley thought of Wei Dong and asked, "Is that brother alright?"

"He hadn't played for six months, and he gave it his all in this game, almost fainting, but he'll be fine after some rest."

"We didn't lose unjustly!"

Finley laughed and said, "I will convince the team to sign this player."

"You may not have a chance. The Nets will sign him after his ten-day contract expires."

Congratulations... the Nets have gained another powerful player!

This season, Finley is still considered the leader of the Mavericks. After he talked to Wei Guo, Nowitzki and Nash also chatted with Wei Guo for a few minutes, expressing their respect and greetings to Wei Guo as well.

......

After drinking some glucose, Wei Dong felt better.

The Nets returned to the locker room...

Gentry immediately handed his phone to Weidong, saying, "Call home and let them know you're safe."

That emotional intelligence... wow.

Wei Dong gave Gentry a grateful look, then dialed his wife's number.

Another phone call came from country M. When Wei Dong's wife picked up the phone, she felt a surge of tension. They had all seen Wei Dong fall on the court and then be carried away on a stretcher.

This phone call...

"Hello..."

Wei Dong's wife tentatively said something.

"Wife..."

Wei Dong's voice was soft, "I'm fine, we won the game."

“We all saw it, Mom and Dad both praised you as the best.”

"And what about you...?"

"I've always thought you're the best."

Wei Dong could imagine that the person on the other end of the phone must be blushing with embarrassment, but he didn't even have the strength to speak right now. Worried that his wife would notice something amiss, he said, "International calls are quite expensive, and I'm using the coach's phone, so I'll hang up now."

"Um..."

Wei Dong's wife told him, "You should get some rest!"

......

With the free agency market closed, the Nets' signing of Wei Dong to a ten-day contract was granted special approval by the league.

but...

After the game, the Nets' general manager approached Wei Dong and privately agreed to a one-year, $1.7 million short-term contract with him, just waiting for the free agency market to open.

The Nets have assigned Wei Dong their most professional strength and conditioning coach, which will allow him to use this time to recover his fitness and regain his former competitive form. It is sportsmanship to play until you faint in a game, but if you faint in the last minute or two of every game, then it is a problem with your own body.

Two days later, the Nets arrived in Los Angeles.

They will play the Lakers here on the road, and Stockton and three others will return to play in this game after a one-game suspension!

The happiest person was Cummings, who finally didn't have to play.

Wei Dong also traveled with the team to Los Angeles, but he will not participate in this game. Firstly, the aftereffects of the last game have not yet disappeared, and the soreness in his arms and calves has not been relieved. Secondly, the team no longer needs him to play.

Starting lineup for this match:

Brooklyn Nets: Stockton, Kiddels, Jefferson, Kenyon, Weiguo

Lakers: Payton, Kobe, George, Malone, O'Neal

The Lakers' "F4" is arguably one of the most luxurious lineups in history, with four players in the starting lineup possessing "gold cards".

The Lakers assembled such a star-studded roster with the aim of winning another championship and defeating Weiguo. No one was more eager to beat Weiguo than Shaq and Kobe.

Since Weiguo joined the alliance...

In the first year, they faced the Lakers in the Finals, and then led the team to end the Lakers' three-peat.

The following year, they were even more ruthless... completely shutting out the Lakers from the Western Conference Finals.
