Ray Allen returned to the court less than a minute into the fourth quarter.

Push Barbosa aside...

Ray Allen received a pass from Daniels beyond the three-point line and took a shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

97:84!!

Ray Allen's shooting form is so perfect, it's like he stepped right out of a textbook.

This three-pointer helped Ray Allen regain his shooting confidence.

Then...

Jackson missed a shot against Ray Allen, and Evans grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen quickly pushed the ball up the court and hit another pull-up three-pointer.

"Whoosh!!!"

They've made it in again.

If this were a SuperSonics home game, Ray Allen would raise his hands in celebration, energize the crowd, and then launch an offensive surge to take the lead.

Unfortunately, this is an away game...

After Jordan retired, only Wei Guo in the league was able to enjoy the same treatment as a home team when playing away.

If Ray Allen were to actually make a celebration gesture, it would be a provocation against the more than 10,000 fans in the Suns' arena, and the only response he would receive would be boos.

During those few minutes, the Suns only had two key players on the court: Stoudemire and Johnson.

Strictly speaking...

Stoudemire is the only starting player. Johnson and Richardson are also considered starters, and they would occasionally boast that Wei Guo is their substitute. In reality, who gets substituted after the game starts depends on Wei Guo's mood.

Ray Allen's three-pointer is on fire!

With their offensive engine off the court, Stoudemire and Johnson resorted to isolation plays, but their offensive efficiency was low.

D'Antoni asked Nash, "What do you think of Stoudemire's abilities?"

"this..."

Nash tilted his head and did not answer the question.

This was a trap from the start. Nash didn't understand why D'Antoni would ask such a question... Was he trying to stir up conflict between the players?

Actually...

D'Antoni is, after all, an assistant coach. He is responsible for tactical arrangements, and the team atmosphere mainly relies on Gentry. D'Antoni has never considered this aspect.

What he was thinking about was how he should rebuild the Suns after they won the championship this season and Wei Guo changed teams again. He absolutely couldn't let the Suns' record plummet because of Wei Guo and Gentry's departure.

“Stoudemire is strong, but he doesn’t have the ability to lead a team on his own.”

The faint sound emanated from the location of the State of Wei.

D'Antoni turned around in surprise, "Brother Wei, you think so too?"

"Don't think about these unnecessary things..."

Wei Guo said seriously, "Our goal is to bring a championship trophy to Phoenix. We can talk about other things after we lift the championship trophy."

D'Antoni's pupils contracted; Wei Guo had guessed what he was thinking.

......

On the court, Ray Allen has made five consecutive three-pointers.

The SuperSonics are only down by 7 points...

Nash, Wei Guo, and Marion all got up at the same time; it was time for them to go on the court and seal the victory.

There are 7 minutes and 7 seconds left in the game.

102:95!!

The 16-point lead was reduced to just 7 points in an instant.

Ray Allen, who had regained his touch, wasn't afraid of Wei Guo. He broke through from the corner, got to the basket, and pulled up to avoid Wei Guo's block with a flick of his wrist.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball goes into the basket.

That shot... was absolutely awesome!

Ray Allen, who scored only 11 points in the first three quarters, scored 17 points on 6-for-6 shooting in less than half of the fourth quarter.

102:97!!

The SuperSonics are only 5 points behind.

Cummings was furious. Waving a towel, he shouted, "Brother Wei, teach this kid a lesson!"

Phoenix cannot tolerate such an awesome existence!

Suns on offense!

Wei Guo bypassed Lewis and faced off against Ray Allen. For Ray Allen, this was a mismatch defense, but Wei Guo, standing on the three-point line... couldn't be treated as a center.

"Ball here!"

Wei Guo reached out and took the basketball that Nash handed him.

Wei Guo's moves can be flashy or practical. Facing Ray Allen's defense, Wei Guo first used a crossover dribble to lure Ray Allen away, then followed up with a crossover dribble to shake him off, before pulling up for a jump shot.

Ray Allen attempts to block a shot from behind Wei Guo...

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew the whistle. Although he couldn't stop Wei Guo from scoring, Ray Allen's block on Wei Guo had already hit Wei Guo's wrist, which was a clear foul.

104:97!!

The Suns lead by 7 points.

SuperSonics head coach McMillan has a feeling that they are getting further and further away from victory.

The gap in strength is insurmountable...

Ray Allen seems to have angered Wei Guo. I've never seen such a petty player. All he did was go one-on-one against Wei Guo and make a cool layup, turning Wei Guo into a background character. Is it really necessary to hold such a grudge?

Just as expected!

Wei Guo took over the offensive mantle for the Suns, relentlessly attacking the basket, and the SuperSonics' defense was completely overwhelmed by him.

The game wasn't over yet, and the score difference had widened to 15 points. The Supersonics struggled for a moment, but then gave up.

"Beep!!!"

The game ended with the whistle blowing.

129:113!!

The Suns defeated the SuperSonics by 16 points at home.

......

Match statistics:

Wei Guo: 43 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks

Nash: 17 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks

Ray Allen: 33 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks

Lewis: 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks

......

If the SuperSonics win this game, it will definitely become one of Ray Allen's classic battles.

pity...

The difference in ability between the star players of the two teams is too great!

......

The Suns' victory over the SuperSonics isn't news; there are only two things that are noteworthy tonight.

One is the Ice Bucket Challenge initiated by Wei Guo, which has the support of nearly half of the league's players. Although Wei Guo only tagged James and Kobe, this kind of challenge is like a snowball rolling downhill. The snowball will only get bigger and bigger, and eventually most players will be affected. Many people are already looking forward to being tagged by their friends.

Secondly, Kobe Bryant had an off night, scoring only 23 points on 9-of-27 shooting, ending his streak of 40+ points.

Fortunately...

The end of the record doesn't mean Kobe lost to Weiguo. Weiguo still has two fewer 40+ point games than Kobe. If Weiguo can't continue the record in the next two games, Kobe will still be the ultimate winner.

Kobe was really tired!

Only those who have experienced it can understand the hardship of leading a team alone. Even someone as strong as Wei Guo had plenty of good teammates during his four seasons in the league, but Kobe had very few teammates who could help him this season... pitifully few.
