A burly man with a hip-hop style sneaked into the home team's locker room.

Are you planning to transfer to our team?

Cummings joked about James, saying, "Our home locker room is our secret base; outsiders aren't allowed in."

James looked around the Nets' home locker room and said, "This... is quite different from the Cavaliers'. It's so luxurious, there's even a kitchen."

Cummings laughed, "There's only one like this in the entire league, no other branches!"

"Two companies..."

Wei Guo corrected, "The Rockets' home locker room is pretty much the same as this one."

During halftime, ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Firstly, it would disturb the players' rest, and secondly, every team has tactical secrets, especially professional players, and barging into someone else's locker room is a major taboo.

but...

James is no outsider.

Moreover, since the Cavaliers failed to make the playoffs, James took advantage of his free time while fishing to watch a Nets game.

James sat for a while, drank a bowl of soup with the team, and then left the locker room on his own. He is a person with high emotional intelligence. Wei Guo is his older brother, so it is okay for him to come to the locker room for a while, but he cannot disturb the Nets' tactical arrangements. The second half of the game is about to start, and Gentry should be making tactical arrangements.

Gentry came out of the kitchen and, not seeing James, asked in surprise, "LeBron's gone?"

"Um..."

Cummings nodded, patting his round belly, wondering if he should play a little in the fourth quarter to digest his food.

......

The third quarter is basically the decisive moment. If the Nets extend their lead to 20 points, the Heat will give up.

If the score difference is still within ten points...

The fourth quarter will be a nail-biting affair, and the confrontation will inevitably be fierce.

The Heat took the first possession, Wade had the ball... Grant screened for him, and Wade made a layup with a crossover dribble!

This movement was like that of someone drunk, yet its destructive power was immense. After Wade faked out the basket, he leaped into the air!

"Bang!!!"

He scored with a powerful two-handed dunk, and even dangled the rim slightly.

53:45!!

The Heat are only down by 8 points.

Barkley said, "This young man has a very bright future ahead of him."

Barkley was right; none of the four shooting guards today could claim to have surpassed Wade in terms of achievements.

The Nets' offense was methodical, with Wei Guo orchestrating the offense and constantly assisting his teammates to score. When Wade got going, he also relieved the offensive pressure on his teammates, but after all, he was a shooting guard and didn't have Wei Guo's overall vision.

Defend the country at any time...

He will choose to pass the ball whenever his teammates have a better scoring opportunity, thus putting himself in a corner.

......

In the fourth quarter, the Nets led by 14 points.

Van Gundy is considering...

Should we let the substitutes play for a while? Wade and the others have barely rested, and their stamina is starting to suffer.

Van Gundy is also worried that the Nets have no bench players and he doesn't know if Stockton will play. Even if Stockton does play, he and Jefferson, Kenyon, and other young guys can easily overwhelm the Heat's bench.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to rest...?"

Van Gundy ultimately left the choice to the players. After Wade and the others shook their heads, Van Gundy immediately decided to field the full starting lineup in the fourth quarter!

Nets side!

Wei Guo got plenty of rest in the second quarter and also rested for 1 minute and 27 seconds at the end of the third quarter, which was to prepare for the fourth quarter.

The Heat took the lead in the fourth quarter!

Wade passed the ball to Odom, who took a mid-range shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

87:75!!

This mid-range jumper seemed to give the Heat a shot in the arm, and they saw hope of winning the game again.

"Defense!"

Van Gundy waved his hand, "Play good defense!"

Stockton dribbled the ball up the court, and Wei Guo ran to the three-point line to receive the ball. Odom guarded Wei Guo closely, and Stockton pretended to pass the ball to Wei Guo, but instead passed it to the basket.

"Whoosh!!!"

Collins received the ball and scored a layup.

89:75!!

The point difference remains at 14 points.

The Nets' defense was also very intense, with everyone guarding him closely. Wade tried to one-on-one against Wei Guo, but his consecutive crossovers failed to shake him off. So he took a step back, dribbled the ball, and pretended to shoot to trick Wei Guo into jumping. Then he turned around to avoid Wei Guo and find a shooting space!

This action...

Wade used it once in the first quarter and successfully went one-on-one against Mourning!

Wei Guo didn't fall for the fake. When Wade made his shooting fake, Wei Guo only took a step closer but didn't jump, which completely killed the ball. Jones came out and said, "Give me the ball!"

Wade can only pass the ball!

But Wei Guo reacted quickly; the basketball had just flown from Wade's hands when Wei Guo swatted it away.

Van Gundy shouted, "Get back on defense!"

The basketball was already in Wei Guo's hands, and there was no way to take it back. All the Heat could do was get back on defense.

actually...

Wade's combo just now would have caught most players in the league, but he just happened to run into Wei Guo... Wei Guo knows all the moves Wade knows, and he uses them even better than Wade.

Wei Guo leisurely dribbled the ball to the frontcourt!

Crossover dribble...

Wei Guo suddenly accelerated, dribbling past two players before driving to the basket. Odom and Grant jumped simultaneously under the basket, attempting to block Wei Guo's shot!

Wei Guo bent down and passed between Odom and Grant, hooked the ball with a backhand, and sent it spinning towards the top of the backboard. It hit the edge of the backboard with another backspin.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball fell into the air.

"Is this...a streetball move?"

Alston suddenly stood up. "What should this move be called... what should it be called?"

The NBA has had players like Kobe who would spin the basketball during a layup, allowing it to bounce off the backboard and into the basket. However, Wei Guo's layup, where he throws the ball in the opposite direction of the basket and then spins it backwards into the hoop, is quite rare!

Alston understood... Wei Guo must have made this move on purpose.

Because he had already dodged Odom and Grant's blocks in mid-air, he could have easily made the layup with a reverse layup, but Wei Guo chose such a fancy layup move instead. Is this Wei Guo's streetball spirit?

He's paying tribute to me!!!

At that moment, Alston, who had been imagining it, suddenly felt a little excited. He wanted to do what he did at Rucker Park: regardless of whether the game was going on or not, he would rush onto the field to hug the players because of a beautiful goal.

......

What Alston didn't know was that he hadn't watched Wei Guo's games very often, and similar moves had happened many times before. So when Wei Guo scored with a jelly-like layup, Alston was excited, but the Nets players didn't feel anything at all.
