There are 2 minutes and 9 seconds left in the second quarter.

36:46!!

The Nets are down by 10 points.

The Pistons' lead shouldn't make them complacent, as they've played the Nets four times in the regular season.

These four matches...

The Pistons led by more than 10 points in the first half in three games, but they only won one of them. The Nets are definitely their toughest opponent.

Gentry chatted loudly with Scott, "Rasheed has already committed three fouls. It would be great if we could draw another one."

Nets on offense!

Wei Guo received the ball in the middle of the field, and Rashid was still defending Wei Guo. Ben was one step behind Rashid, ready to cover at any time.

After a probing step, Wei Guo broke through Rashid's right side. Rashid blocked Ben Wallace, preventing him from coming forward to help defend. Wei Guo then gathered the ball and made a shooting fake. Rashid rushed up to try and block Wei Guo's shot.

But...

Wei Guo turned around to avoid Rashid, but did not rush to make a move when he had the opportunity to attack!

Rashid didn't understand what Wei Guo was hesitating about, so after landing, he pounced on Wei Guo again. Wei Guo jumped to shoot, this time with a lower release point than before. Rashid missed and landed on Wei Guo instead!

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and called a defensive foul on Rashid!

"Fuck..."

Rashid yelled, "Wei Guo did it on purpose! He could have shot but he didn't, he was deliberately trying to draw a foul on me!"

This is putting pressure on the referee, meaning that Wei Guo's style of play violates the spirit of sports. If you're going to attack, then attack, but instead you resort to these petty tricks, it's shameless!

How could the referee not know that Wei Guo did this on purpose...?

The audience could see that Wei Guo was deliberately trying to trick Rashid into committing a foul. However, in a game, time is measured in fractions of a second. Rashid had no time to think in that situation. When he saw that Wei Guo did not make a move, he immediately pounced on him after landing. He knew Wei Guo's release point, so he jumped very high.

But...

Wei Guo's release point this time was much lower than his usual shooting point!

Rashid missed and fell on Wei Guo, which was a clear foul. Not only was it a foul, but Wei Guo also got a free throw!

Brown's face was ashen. Wei Guo's actions were bullying an honest person. Rashid was an impulsive player, and he had just been tricked into committing a foul by Wei Guo. He was furious and roared to the sky, wishing he could beat Wei Guo up.

Fortunately, Rashid's teammates were able to remain rational.

If Rasheed really takes action, he will not only be ejected, but may also face a suspension, which would be a real loss for the Pistons.

Even if we take a step back and say...

If Rashid really charged in, could he defeat Wei Guo?

......

With less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter, Rashid was forced to leave the game.

The defensive pressure on Weiguo has eased considerably...

With just over a minute remaining, Wei Guo made several consecutive one-on-one plays under the basket, helping the Nets narrow the gap to 6 points.

......

In the away dressing room, Rashid had already smashed two chairs.

Four fouls in the first half...

He will spend most of the third quarter on the bench, and Brown is unlikely to let him play. Even if he does play, he will be hesitant and timid on defense.

"Buddy, this isn't your fault!"

Billups came over and comforted him, saying, "Defending the country is indeed very difficult, and you've done a great job."

This attempt at comfort had no effect, and Rashid fumed.

"well..."

Brown sighed. Considering how Rasheed yelled at the referee in the last two minutes of the first half, it was already a favor that the referee didn't give him a technical foul.

Fortunately...

The Pistons still have a 6-point lead, and if they can hold onto that lead in the second half, they can still win the game.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was also rather subdued.

“Anthony is strong in one-on-one situations with the ball, but he's not your defensive focus. Hamilton and Billups are the two players you need to watch out for.”

Hamilton, in particular, is a huge threat with his mid-range and long-range shots, and he's always on the go... This guy's stamina is definitely better than mine."

These words were spoken by the State of Wei.

Carmelo Anthony's playing style is the core style of the team, which in theory is not compatible with the Pistons. However, Brown solved this problem very well. This is Brown's ability. At the time, some people said that Wei Guo and Iverson were incompatible, but the two won a championship trophy together. Brown also deserves credit for this.

With Anthony on the roster, the Pistons are truly like a tiger with wings.

......

The second half begins, and the Pistons are on offense.

Anthony has the ball outside the paint, and Wei Guo is guarding him one-on-one. "You definitely won't pass the ball."

"certainly!"

Anthony nodded stubbornly.

This is what rookie players most want to do: challenge the best player in the league. When Iverson and Kobe first entered the league, they also thought about challenging Jordan. In the past two years, the rookies who have entered the league want to challenge Wei Guo.

Anthony turned his back to defend the country...

He had a hard time using his body to push Wei Guo aside, so he dribbled twice, stepped back, and took a fadeaway jump shot!

"Whoosh~~~"

Wei Guo flicked the basketball with his fingertips.

Mourning immediately positioned himself, and the ball didn't even touch the rim. Just as it was about to fly out of bounds, Mourning leaped and caught the ball back!

Tyronn Lue received the ball and dribbled straight to the frontcourt without turning his head!

Gentry shouted a warning, "Watch out behind you!!!"

Hamilton had caught up, and Tyronn Lue's layup attempt was a bit difficult. He glanced back and saw Wei Guo behind Hamilton, and breathed a sigh of relief!

"Bang!!!"

Tyronn Lue didn't go for the layup; instead, he slammed the ball directly onto the backboard!

Hamilton leaped and caught the basketball, but Wei Guo followed up with a layup. In mid-air, he snatched the ball from Hamilton's hands and then slammed it home with a powerful dunk!

"Bang!!!"

The basketball was slammed into the hoop, and Hamilton was thrown out of bounds.

There was a moment of silence...

Oh my god!!!

The audience felt a chill run down their spines; the sound was uttered subconsciously.

The DJ's voice was hoarse. "Brother Wei, are you kidding me???"

That kind of dunk is so rare!

Hamilton had already caught the basketball, but Wei Guo snatched it back in mid-air. If Hamilton hadn't been thrown out at the last moment, the audience would have even suspected that Wei Guo would have stuffed the ball and himself into the basket!

......

The fans went wild, and the game almost had to be stopped!

The referee did not blow the whistle...

The Pistons stepped forward to argue. No matter how cool Wei Guo's dunk was, he had committed a foul during the jump ball. The referee was also hesitant, unsure whether to give Wei Guo a foul!

......

The game continues, and the Pistons inbound the ball from the baseline.

The referee ruled that Wei Guo's dunk was valid, and Brown angrily berated the referee, having forgotten that when Wei Guo had a spectacular dunk with the 76ers, Brown was more excited than anyone else.

Wei Guo's dunk affected Hamilton, or perhaps the fall was really hard.

"bang~~~"

Hamilton missed his mid-range shot!
