D'Antoni's playing career was quite remarkable.

His peak was in European leagues, where he was even named the Italian League's best point guard in the early 1990s.

Many players become coaches after retiring, and D'Antoni is no exception. However, before joining the Suns, he was just an assistant coach or scout for some teams.

He became the head coach of the Suns late last season.

so...

Compared to Gentry, D'Antoni is still a rookie coach, which may be why he was willing to be Gentry's assistant coach.

The Cavaliers didn't field any substitutes in the fourth quarter, which is rare. D'Antoni couldn't help but look at Gentry. Gentry seemed to understand D'Antoni's thoughts and smiled, saying, "Don't panic. As long as Wei is on the court, he can handle anything."

Cavaliers on offense!

James received the ball on the baseline, faced Wei Guo's defense, and took a step towards the inside, noticing that Wei Guo had shifted his center of gravity backward.

James pulls up and takes a fadeaway jumper!

James' physical gifts are among the closest to those of Wei Guo. His fadeaway jumper had a high release point, and even Wei Guo couldn't block it in time.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

James pounded his chest in excitement. What could be more exciting than scoring against your idol's defense?

Wei Guo brought four substitute players!

James and Gooden double-teamed Weiguo, who turned his back to James and the basketball disappeared.

Barbosa: (｀?′)\\u003d3

He was running when the basketball suddenly appeared in front of him. After catching the ball, he hesitated for a moment before making a layup.

It was that moment of hesitation that allowed Ilgoskas to seize the opportunity.

*Smack!!!*

Ilgauskas blocks Barbosa.

Possession returned to the Cavaliers. James dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, then carried it to the basket, executing a high-flying reverse layup to evade the defender.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

81:81!!

James scored two consecutive baskets, helping the Cavaliers tie the game.

Gentry sat up straight. "That LeBron kid is definitely going to be a superstar."

Gentry has always been a big fan of James, and the two are considered close friends despite their age difference. Gentry has witnessed James's progress firsthand. There are still not many players in the league who can be fearless against Wei Guo's defense, and James, in his second year, has already achieved that.

Sit up straight...

Gentry began to take this game seriously; he didn't think the Suns could win easily.

Three minutes later, the Suns' starters returned to the court.

The Cavaliers' defense was excellent, and James' tireless running around the court disrupted several of the Suns' offensive plays. The Suns' bench strength was still relatively weak, and Wei Guo's brilliant pass failed to convert into points.

85:87!!

The Suns are down by two points.

Before Nash went on the court, D'Antoni instructed him: "If the offense isn't working, pass the ball to Wei Guo."

In terms of one-on-one ability.

Several players on the Suns have decent one-on-one skills, but there's a significant gap between them and Wei Guo.

The first ball didn't even open!

Nash looked for an opportunity at the three-point line, but the Cavaliers' defense was like an iron wall. Wei Guo immediately positioned himself to receive the ball. After receiving the pass from Nash, Wei Guo made a powerful turnaround jump shot.

This is a very common move...

Not to mention professional players, even some amateur basketball enthusiasts on local courts know how to use it.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

87:87!!

With more and more player cards in his possession, Wei Guo's playing style has become more and more basic.

Just like the ordinary Luohan Long Fist, a book can be bought for a few coins at the Shaolin Temple, but the destructive power of a child performing it is the opposite of that of Michael Jordan.

This simple turnaround jump shot... in Wei Guo's hands, few could defend against it.

"Defense!"

Wei Guo waved.

Gooden and Newbell's pass-and-cut combination was intercepted by Wei Guo. Nash quickly ran up the court, and Wei Guo made a long pass to Nash. Nash dribbled to the basket, and James chased after him.

He didn't even look behind him...

Nash flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Wei Guo, who was following up.

"Bang!!!"

Wei Guo received the ball and immediately delivered a powerful one-handed dunk!

89:87!!

David Wade watched the game with his hands supporting his chin. Gentry stretched out his arm and nudged Wade, saying, "As long as we're up by more than 10 points, the Cavaliers have no chance of winning."

"10 points?"

Wei Dafa glanced at the scoreboard and counted on his fingers, "Two points for each goal, four more goals and we'll be 10 points ahead."

Gentry smiled.

He didn't explain to Wei Dafa that when you score, the opponent is also scoring, and it's not enough to score four goals to lead by 10 points.

The Cavaliers missed another shot!

Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and, imitating James' move, took a step and made a layup, then executed a high-flying reverse layup to evade the defense.

only...

Wei Guo's arms are longer; James makes a layup, but for Wei Guo, it's a dunk.

91:87!!

The Suns are leading by 4 points.

Gentry suddenly began to reflect on himself. Perhaps Wei Dafa was right. If the Suns scored four more baskets, they could really extend their lead to 10 points!

The Cavaliers attack again!

Wei Guo waved to his teammates to hold their positions, but he himself guarded James one-on-one when James had the ball.

James performs a between-the-legs spin!

Wei Guo stayed close to James, understanding James' offensive patterns and anticipating his next move.

James' post-up attempt failed... He took a step-back jumper.

This shot was extremely difficult because James had the ball for more than ten seconds. The longer James holds the ball against Wei Guo, the lower his chances of scoring.

"bang~~~"

The basketball bounced off the rim.

This time...

Stoudemire grabbed the defensive rebound, Nash took the ball from Stoudemire, and the Suns players rushed up the court!

Wei Guo fell behind!

Knowing Wei Guo's terrifying shooting range, Nash didn't pass the ball to the inside. Instead, he passed it to Wei Guo behind him, while simultaneously blocking James.

Two steps away from the three-point line.

Wei Guo takes a shot...

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

94:87!!

This is the second basket that Wei Dafa mentioned, and the Suns are now leading by 7 points.
