"How did you get in?"

"Lucky ball!"

Go Nets!

"Weiguo...it all depends on you now."

"The Nets will win!"

"The Nets will be the champions!"

"Brother Wei won the game with a last-minute victory."

......

Fans watching the live broadcast of the game were wailing in despair; they desperately wished Billups hadn't scored.

"really..."

Wei Guo frowned. "The Pistons really went for a three-pointer."

With 35 seconds left on the shot clock, the Pistons' quick three-point attempt seemed risky, but it gave them a final chance to score.

They focused the game on offense...

The timeout was very short, and both Wei Guo and Gentry were mentally analyzing how the Pistons would play. If they could control the offensive clock and score a basket steadily, then the outcome would depend on their defense.

If the Pistons miss a three-pointer, they'll have to resort to fouling.

If it really comes to that...

Even if Jesus came, they would still lose by two points, because fouling Wei Guo is equivalent to giving points to the Nets.

The Pistons dribbled really well tonight. Anthony hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, and Billups made a quick three-pointer!

The initiative has shifted to the Pistons.

If the Nets can defend this shot, it will be very difficult for them to win. It's just a question of whether the Nets will call a timeout.

Wei Guo said to Stockton, "You serve! Pass the ball to me..."

Seeing Stockton move to the baseline, Brown shouted, "Double up Weiguo! Don't let Weiguo receive the ball!"

The Nets didn't call a timeout!

This shows that they have no offensive tactics; they just pass the ball to Wei Guo. Brown doesn't know Gentry, but he knows Wei Guo.

Hamilton was sticking to Wei Guo.

Wei Guo made a sprint, leaving Hamilton half a step behind, and Stockton passed the ball directly to Wei Guo's head, a height only Wei Guo could reach.

Wei Guo gets the ball, accelerates past Hamilton, and pulls up for a shot after crossing midfield!

Holy crap!!!

Brown's eyes widened, his face turning deathly pale. "Here it comes again! His long-range three-pointer is here again!"

I don't know why.

When Wei Guo dared to shoot such a long-range three-pointer at the crucial moment of the game, everyone felt that the shot was sure to go in!

The audience didn't have to wait long...

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball landed steadily in the hoop, then bounced...boom...boom... on the floor.

98:96!!

The Nets have taken a two-point lead with 26 seconds left in the game!

After receiving the ball, Wei Guo dribbled for only two steps before shooting from midcourt. To make the basketball fly faster, Wei Guo's shooting arc was very flat. From receiving the ball to the basketball falling into the basket, it only took 3 seconds!

Why did you rush to take that three-pointer?

Because Wei Guo didn't want to put the game's outcome on defense, leaving 26 seconds for offense, even if the Pistons made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Nets would still have at least 2 seconds for offense.

......

"Pistons request a timeout!"

This was the Pistons' last chance to call a timeout.

Brown held the clipboard and explained the tactics to the players. The principle of the tactics was to shoot three-pointers as much as possible within the time limit, not only to make those three-pointers, but also to give the Nets as little offensive time as possible!

The Nets have one more timeout.

If the Pistons make that three-pointer, Gentry will most likely call a timeout to set up a play where Wei Guo catches the ball and shoots to win the game.

The timeout is about to end...

Brown suddenly felt a little flustered and added, "If the Nets don't call a timeout, everyone except Ben Wallace and Rasheed should double-team Wei Guo!"

That one sentence almost cost the Pistons the game.

......

The timeout is over, the game continues!

Billups is now controlling the ball and time, Stockton makes two risky steals in a row, Billups shakes off Stockton, but he doesn't shoot.

This is Stockton's experience...

He knew the Pistons would run down the clock, which is why he risked a steal; a successful steal would solve everything. Even if the steal failed, Billups wouldn't shoot immediately.

There are only 7 seconds left on the attack.

Wei Guo said to Jefferson, "They'll pass the ball to Anthony, you have to stick with him!"

really...

Anthony suddenly shook off Jefferson and ran to the three-point line. Hamilton and Rasheed collapsed into the defense at the same time, creating a defensive setup similar to an elevator door.

Anthony went around them, but Hamilton and Rasheed stood in Jefferson's way like a wall. By the time Jefferson got around them, Anthony had already received a pass from Billups and launched a three-pointer.

Wei Guo, Mourning, Ben Wallace, Rasheed... almost everyone was positioning themselves under the basket!

"Whoosh!!!"

Then everyone watched as the basketball swished through the net.

"Wo~~~yeah~~~"

Anthony raised his arms in celebration, but the audience did not respond!

......

The Nets have 2.7 seconds left on the shot clock!

Mourning sprinted to the baseline, and the Pistons players immediately understood... the Nets weren't calling a timeout!

Anthony, Hamilton, and Billups surrounded Wei Guo, leaving Mourning completely dumbfounded... Is there such a shameless defense?

There was no way to pass the ball to Wei Guo!

Just as Mourning hesitated about whether to call a timeout, Stockton ran over and shouted, "Give me the ball!"

"Whoosh~~~"

Mourning instinctively passed the ball to Stockton!

Stockton immediately drew the attention of the players on the court, and with 2.7 seconds left, he dribbled the ball up the court to shoot a three-pointer – enough time!

Just as Stockton received the ball...

Wei Guo savagely broke through the encirclement of Anthony and his two teammates, and shouted, "Pass the ball!"

Stockton didn't hesitate for a moment and made a long pass to Wei Guo, sending the basketball flying three meters in front of him.

Years later, the retired Stockton still often recalled this pass, defining it as the most fake assist of his career.

When Wei Guo received the basketball, there were 0.7 seconds left in the game!

Time flies...

As soon as Wei Guo touched the ball, he threw it toward the basket, and Anthony and the others chasing behind him stopped instantly. The more than 10,000 people in the stadium just stared at the basketball in a daze.

This is destined to be a classic moment in the NBA!

"Whoosh!!!"

The game ended the moment the basketball swished through the net!

"Beep!!!"

The final whistle blew.

101:99!!

Wei Guo sealed the victory, and the Nets won Game 5!

Match statistics:

Wei Guo: 56 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks

Billups: 21 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks

Wei Guo scored 26 points in the fourth quarter, accounting for almost all of the Nets' points, especially the last two three-pointers, which were extremely difficult and were the sharp sword that pierced through the Pistons.
