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 game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves has ended.
103:102!!
After an overtime period, the Timberwolves narrowly won the game thanks to Garnett's game-winning shot.
Garnett also delivered the best performance of his career, scoring 37 points, 29 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks, including a game-winning shot – national team caliber stats.
After the match...
Before he could even celebrate the victory, Garnett turned on the TV to watch the Suns' game live.
The third quarter has just ended, and Wei Guo has dominated the paint!
There were a total of 27 rebounds in the entire quarter, and Wei Guo grabbed 13 of them, bringing his total rebounds to 22.
"22 rebounds?"
Garnett angrily slammed his fist on the locker, yelling, "Wei Guo deliberately tried to steal my rebounding title!"
"The Suns are already up by 26 points, and Wei Guo is still on the court, which is unreasonable!"
"Data brushing..."
"I despise people like this the most; they have absolutely no professional ethics."
"Every rebound our leader gets is earned through his own hard work; the entire Suns team is just padding Weiguo's stats!"
"Kevin, let's give up the rebounding title!"
Garnett's teammates rushed over to comfort him.
Everyone knows...
With 22 rebounds in three quarters, including 13 in a single quarter, it would be too easy for Wei Guo to grab eight more rebounds in the fourth quarter to surpass Garnett. So, before the Suns' game was even over, they started comforting Garnett.
like...
The title of rebounding champion has long since passed Garnett's reach.
Garnett still had hope. This game was very important. If they won, the Suns would set a new regular season record. The Suns were leading by 26 points, so the game should have been over by now.
There's no need for Wei Guo to continue playing... If Wei Guo plays, it only shows that he values this rebounding title very much, which is inconsistent. After all, Wei Guo is the best player in the league and already has two rebounding titles. He shouldn't value such a small honor so much.
just in case...
Just in case...
If Wei Guo gets injured during garbage time in the final quarter, it would be a huge loss.
The Phoenix Suns' bench.
Cummings looked at the text message from his cousin: "The Timberwolves' game is over."
"What stats does Garnett have?"
Several people asked the same question at the same time; it was their biggest concern.
Cummings blinked. "Brother Wei, guess!"
"I'm just a kid, why would I guess?"
Wei Guo slapped Cummings on the forehead. "Speak up!"
Cummings said aggrievedly, "37 points and 29 rebounds. Garnett grabbed 29 rebounds. He was aiming for the rebounding title tonight."
"29 rebounds?"
Wei Guo stroked his chin.
Since ancient times, only Wei Guo has been able to grab 30+ rebounds in a single game, and 29 rebounds is already a very impressive statistic.
......
The fourth quarter begins!
The Jazz still fielded their full starting lineup.
"grass!!!"
Garnett cursed angrily.
The Jazz were deliberately picking a fight...
If the Jazz substitute bench players for their starters, how can Wei Guo possibly play? Playing like this forces Wei Guo to stay on the court.
Halprin and Bell were like gods!
The two players scored 14 points with a combination of inside and outside shots, bringing the team within 12 points. In those three minutes, the Suns players made a series of mistakes and their shooting accuracy dropped, failing to score a single point.
It looked like the score difference was about to be caught up...
Wei Guo got up and walked to the scorer's table. The team needed him; he had to play!
"Shit!"
Garnett angrily shut down the game broadcast, yelling, "A bunch of idiots!"
The whole world was putting on an act for him. If it weren't for those three minutes when the score difference remained above 20 points, Wei Guo would have been too embarrassed to play.
But now...
Wei Guo must play.
Victory is the top priority. The Jazz are about to catch up in the score, so Wei Guo can't sit still any longer.
......
When Wei Guo entered the game, there were 8 minutes and 18 seconds left in the match.
Jackson missed his three-point attempt!
Wei Guo grabbed the offensive rebound, used his dream footwork to shake off Okur, and scored with a reverse layup.
87:73!!
The Suns lead by 14 points.
After Wei Guo came on, Harprin and Bell lost their shooting touch. Bell missed a three-pointer first, and Harprin also missed a mid-range shot.
These two offensive plays resulted in two defensive rebounds for Wei Guo!
25 rebounds!!!
With 6 minutes and 16 seconds left in the game, Wei Guo had already grabbed 25 rebounds, and the Suns' lead was heading towards 20 points.
"brush!!!"
"brush!!!"
"brush!!!"
The audience was very dissatisfied and kept trying to disturb Wei Guo with their noise.
But...
They could all see that Wei Guo grabbed the rebounds every time he was double-teamed by Okur and Collins. The Jazz weren't deliberately going easy on him on defense; Wei Guo secured every rebound solidly.
A small group of desperate fans left the stadium before the game was over.
......
There are 2 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game.
Marion's mid-range shot was disrupted by Harprin, and the moment the ball bounced off the backboard, Weiguo caught up in a step.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo caught the basketball in mid-air, straddled Okur, and dunked the ball into the basket.
106:85!!
The point difference widened to 21 points at one point.
With just over two minutes remaining, the Jazz were unable to close the gap, and the game was essentially over.
Wei Guo walked towards the sidelines!
There were no cheers or applause. Jazz fans wouldn't applaud Wei Guo. His teammates and coaching staff had to maintain their composure and couldn't just hug and congratulate him excessively because he grabbed 30 rebounds in this game.
30 rebounds in a single game...
For Wei Guo, this was really nothing; it was just about grabbing every rebound that was his.
The last two minutes passed quickly!
"Beep!!!"
The game ended with the whistle blowing.
111:89!!
The Suns narrowly defeated the Jazz by 22 points on the road.
...
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 36 points, 30 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks
......
Garnett turned off the Suns' live stream so he could watch the Grizzlies' game.
Compared to the rebounding king...
Garnett hopes his team can make the playoffs, and whether the Timberwolves can make the playoffs depends on the Bucks; the Bucks have to win.
Shortly after the Suns' game ended, the Grizzlies' game against the Bucks also concluded, a game that garnered significant attention.
97:76!!
Unfortunately, the Grizzlies defeated the Bucks by a large margin, securing the last playoff spot.
The 2004-05 regular season has ended!
73 wins and 9 losses!!!
The Suns have set a new historical record.
