In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Wei Guo with the 58th overall pick in the second round, from Georgetown University. With that statement, Wei Guo became the second Chinese pla...
The Pacers' bench wasn't that weak; they managed to hold their own against the Suns for five minutes.
13:11!!
The Suns are only leading by two points.
To make a living in this league, many players are just missing an opportunity. After all, before entering the league, they were all Jordans in their own circles (including Cummings).
"They can't do without me..."
Wei Guo was very dissatisfied with his teammates' performance. He stood next to the scorer's table and stretched his wrists, saying, "I still have to come up here and win the game."
......
The Pacers panicked when they saw Wei Guo standing on the sidelines.
Stoudemire can defend, Marion can defend, Johnson can defend, Richardson can defend, but this guy who's about to go on the court is truly unstoppable.
Wei Guo replaces Richardson!
Nash had the ball at the top of the arc, and Wei Guo broke free of Jill's defense and drove to the basket. Nash understood... and tossed the basketball into the air.
"Bang!!!"
A very easy alleyway relay.
15:11!!
Then...
Fred's three-point attempt was blocked by Wei Guo, but fortunately Kroshield got the ball back. With the 24-second shot clock running out, Kroshield made a hasty shot that missed.
Marion grabbed the defensive rebound.
He was hit on the head by a pass from Howard in the last game. After a check-up at Toronto People's Hospital and confirmation that he was fine, he still started the game tonight.
Wei Guo has already run to the frontcourt...
Marion passed the ball to Nash, who touched it for only 0.3 seconds before passing it to Wei Guo, who then took a three-point shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle and called a defensive foul on Fred. He tried to block Wei Guo from behind but hit Wei Guo's arm instead.
Wei Guo stepped up to the free-throw line.
"This is a free point..."
Wei Guo kindly reminded him, "Just watch when I shoot, don't foul again."
Fred: <( ̄ ﹌  ̄)>
Is this the State of Wei?
Not only will you be abused when you play against him, but you will also have to endure verbal attacks.
Fortunately...
He rarely had the chance to match up against Wei Guo. If it weren't for the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and the fact that all the Pacers' key players were suspended for this game, Fred probably wouldn't have had the chance to match up against Wei Guo in his entire career.
19:11!!
Wei Guo entered the game for two minutes and extended the lead to 8 points.
When Wei Guo has the ball, none of the Pacers players can limit his scoring in one-on-one situations... If they double-team Wei Guo, Nash will take over the offense.
At this time...
This will result in a four-on-three situation on the court. The team is already weaker than the Suns, and having to play four-on-three is just giving away points to their teammates.
......
In one quarter, these five Pacers players almost lost their composure.
37:19!!
The Suns led by 18 points in the first quarter.
Wei Guo played for a little over six minutes, making all seven of his shots and scoring 19 points, including 19 points in the first quarter... If Wei Guo had another quarter, his score should have reached 40.
The Phoenix Suns' bench.
"Fight well, everyone!"
D'Antoni didn't even bring a clipboard. "Don't be careless...be more aggressive on offense and try to end this game as soon as possible."
Trailing by 18 points in the first quarter, the Pacers still had very few rotation players on their bench.
They have essentially given up on the game...
D'Antoni is still considering whether to let the substitutes play for a quarter. There is no need to keep the starters on the court and increase the risk of injury. Although the Pacers' five players on the court are all former substitutes, their defensive actions are also very aggressive.
......
The second quarter began with the Suns fielding their full starting lineup!
This is the intention of the State of Wei...
We need to give the Pacers enough respect; they didn't make any substitutions, so we won't either!
Carlisle was speechless. The Suns were inhuman... The Pacers were so injured, yet the Suns still wanted to use their starting lineup to crush them.
The Pacers are on offense!
Fred orchestrated the attack, Jones came out to receive the ball, and Wei Guo was positioned between Fred and Jones, forming an obtuse triangle, which seemed to be a prelude to a tackle... However, Fred didn't see this and still passed the ball to Jones.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo accelerated and intercepted the ball.
Carlisle sat on the bench without saying a word. Fred shouldn't have passed the ball, but Carlisle could see it but couldn't even get angry.
One person holds the ball while nine others watch.
None of the five Pacers players on the court went after Wei Guo.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo completed a fast break dunk all by himself.
Sparse applause filled the arena...
39:19!!
The Suns are leading by 20 points, and the Pacers have scored less than half of the Suns' total points. If this continues, they could very well break the league's record for the largest point difference, previously held by the Nets.
With no hope of catching up, the Pacers began to give up in the second quarter.
They kept trying to shoot three-pointers from the outside, but their accuracy was low... On the contrary, the Suns made 5 of 7 three-pointers on several fast breaks!
The game is almost over...
The DJ was barely heard from the start, and even the DJ himself found the match incredibly boring.
The Pacers couldn't contain Wei Guo's scoring at all. From the moment he entered the game until almost the end of the first half, Wei Guo didn't miss a single shot.
......
The second quarter went very quickly, and no one called a timeout.
69:35!!
At the end of the first half, the Suns were leading by 34 points.
Wei Guo made all 15 of his shots, scoring exactly 40 points... Based on this, it seems unlikely that Wei Guo will play in the second half, and less than one-tenth of the audience left during halftime.
After the start of the second half, the Suns had substituted in an all-bench lineup.
Half of the remaining spectators left, leaving about half of the audience and staff to watch the game.
In this situation...
There shouldn't be any fights between players and fans; some security guards even went to the restroom to smoke.
The second half ended quickly!
Suns' star player Cummings scored a whopping 27 points in the second half, leading the team to a resounding victory.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle blew, and the boring game came to an end.
117:73!!
The Suns defeated the Pacers by 44 points on the road, and that was only because the Suns deliberately lost... otherwise the margin would have been even greater.
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 40 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
Cummings: 27 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks
Cummings added another brilliant chapter to his career, scoring 27 points to lead his team to victory.
