When Wei Guo was defending Wade, he could only try to block Wade's shot the moment he released it, which resulted in a foul.

certainly...

Wade was even less able to defend Wei Guo. When defending Wei Guo, he had to rely on Haslem to help defend and O'Neal to help defend under the basket. He had to gamble on Wei Guo's shooting touch. If Wei Guo had a good shooting touch and kept shooting three-pointers from the outside, Wade could only watch helplessly.

......

After Wei Guo came on, the main players returned to the field one after another.

Miller was still sitting on the sidelines...

This is very likely to be Miller's last season in his professional career, and out of consideration for the veteran, Van Gundy will not give Miller too much playing time.

Eddie Jones, who averaged 20 points per game at his peak and is now averaging close to 15 points per game, didn't have as illustrious a career as Miller, but his scoring ability could easily take up half or even more of Miller's playing time. In short... the Heat have almost no weaknesses.

like...

The league is targeting Weiguo, making it difficult for Weiguo to win the championship.

The Suns are on offense.

Wei Guo cut in from the free-throw line, Haslem immediately closed in, and O'Neal also moved up to the baseline, not giving Wei Guo a chance to receive the ball.

Cummings' palms were sweating!

This is not only a game between the Suns and the Heat, but also a battle for the best point guard in the league. Nash dribbled to the vicinity of the free throw line, Wei Guo circled to the outside, and Marion cut to the basket!

“Marion…”

Nash looked at Marion, "Catch the ball!"

As he spoke, Nash made a passing motion, and Kidd instinctively lunged forward, but he didn't expect it to be a fake pass and shot!

Nash didn't pass the ball; he gathered it and took a fadeaway jump shot!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

37:50!!

The Suns are down by 13 points.

This was a beautiful shot, but it also revealed the Suns' predicament. Nash wasn't the Suns' primary scorer, and with Wei Guo heavily guarded, it was difficult to get the ball to him.

and...

Kidd's defense was also very effective.

Heat on offense!

Kidd dribbled up the court and tossed the ball over the basket for O'Neal to catch!

"Bang!!!"

O'Neal dunked the ball over Stoudemire.

After scoring, O'Neal yelled at Stoudemire, "You're too weak, let Weiguo guard me!"

"Damn it!"

Stoudemire spat out a curse, "Pah!!!"

This league is brutal; there are no easy opponents on the court. Your opponents will not only humiliate you with their skills but also verbally attack you.

O'Neal wasn't just provoking Stoudemire, but also the Suns.

"provocative..."

"A blatant provocation..."

"I can't stand it..."

Cummings clenched his fists; if he could, he really wanted to go on the court and beat O'Neal.

......

There are 1 minute and 27 seconds left in the second quarter!

Wei Guo finally received a pass from Johnson, jumped with his foot on the free-throw line... and was double-teamed by four Heat players!

1v4!!!

An ordinary player would be in despair; only a superstar could score in this situation.

Wei Guo grabbed the basketball with his right hand, then switched it to his left, then back to his right, gliding through the air like he was flying, before switching it back to his left and bursting out from among the four men.

He grabbed the ball with his left hand and hooked it towards the basket!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

51:63!!

The goal was spectacular, but it only scored two points, and the Suns were still down by 12.

......

"Wow~ God!!!"

"Kill me to liven things up for Brother Wei!"

"He played a joke on the whole world!"

......

The commentators and the audience couldn't stay calm.

Jordan once jumped just inside the free-throw line during a game, facing three defenders, and made three hand switches in mid-air to score the ball; this has been called the ultimate hand switch.

But...

Wei Guo has just completed four hand-switching maneuvers in mid-air!

Jones' eyes were full of admiration. As the Heat were on offense, Jones couldn't help but say, "Brother Wei, your shot just now was so cool. I'm going to watch it a hundred times after the game."

"Ha ha..."

Wei Guo smiled slightly, "Watch it one more time, maybe you can learn it."

Players who make a living in this league are all very strong. There are plenty of players who can complete three or four reverse layups when there is no one to defend them. But if they are double-teamed by O'Neal, Haslem, Wade, and Jones, none of those four reverse layups are unnecessary in order to avoid the defense. Players who can do that are extremely rare.

As the two were talking, Wade received the ball beyond the three-point line.

Then...

Wade passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket, and O'Neal turned and squeezed past Stoudemire before shooting a hook shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

He scored the goal very easily.

Stoudemire suffered under the basket tonight... O'Neal was determined to dominate the Suns' interior, forcing Wei Guo and Stoudemire to switch on defense.

Nash's three-pointer on the chase missed!

Wei Guoka grabbed the offensive rebound between O'Neal and Haslem, made the layup, and drew a foul from O'Neal.

Stoudemire felt really relieved... Luckily, the team had someone who could handle O'Neal.

"Whoosh!!!"

Wei Guo made the free throw.

54:65!!

With little time left in the first half, Wade missed a mid-range shot, and Marion grabbed the defensive rebound with 1.7 seconds remaining.

Wei Guo snatched the basketball from Marion's hands and, with a flick of his long arm, threw it forward.

The first half has ended...

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

57:65!!

Wei Guo's buzzer-beating three-pointer brought the score within 8 points.

Cummings was conflicted; such a clean and decisive steal couldn't be considered a steal. Marion hesitated for a moment when he grabbed the rebound, which is why Wei Guo ran over and snatched the ball from Marion's hands.

......

In the main locker room, Nash was lying on the floor.

Being carefree isn't about giving up...

Nash did this because he had a back injury, and lying on the ground could relieve the pain in his back.

Nash doesn't have any major injuries, but he has had quite a few minor ones. Similar back injuries won't affect Nash's career, but they will still affect his performance in games.

Gentry placed the soup he had prepared on the table, but no one drank it.

I'm so tired...

This game is considered a preview of the Finals, so the players and coaching staff are under a lot of pressure. If they were to meet the Heat in the Finals, their regular season victories would give them a significant psychological advantage, which would affect their performance in the game.

D'Antoni's gaze lingered on the Art of War on the table for a moment before he looked up and said, "Wei...you'll be guarding O'Neal in the second half."

"yes!"

Stoudemire said bitterly, "Wei, you'd better teach O'Neal a lesson in the second half."
