"Wei Guo gets really into it when playing the Spurs... and he gets really into it when playing the Pistons..."

"And jazz..."

"Does Wei Guo dislike defensive teams?"

"Defensive teams are more aggressive and sometimes make big moves, which can easily provoke their opponents."

"With this alliance, who would dare to provoke Wei Guo now!"

"Allen, congratulations on making the All-NBA First Team..."

"If it weren't for your poor performance, you wouldn't only be a second-team player..."

"Nash is very strong this season..."

......

The stadium has already arranged the jerseys; tighten your shoelaces and head onto the court.

Wei Guo and Duncan stood at center circle, ready for the jump ball!

Unlike football, where a coin toss is used, basketball uses a jump ball to determine possession.

In the NBA, the team that wins the jump ball goes on offense in the first and fourth quarters, while the team that loses the jump ball goes on offense in the second and third quarters. Many people don't understand the importance of the jump ball, thinking that since both sides have two opportunities to go on offense in four quarters, what is the point of the jump ball?

Actually, that's not the case...

Unlike football, basketball games involve a lot of scoring. The jump ball is used to focus the attention of players and spectators. Also, if the first ball is scored, it can give the team a tactical and psychological advantage for the rest of the game. Therefore, no head coach would ignore the jump ball.

Currently, Weiguo has the highest jump ball success rate in the league.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle blew, and the game began.

The basketball was tossed into the air...

Wei Guo and Duncan jumped at the same time, a scene that has happened many times. Duncan has never been able to touch the basketball before Wei Guo. The Suns players had already run up the court, which showed their absolute confidence in Wei Guo.

*Smack!!!*

Wei Guo dribbled the ball to Nash, who then made a long pass to Johnson. Johnson received the ball and made another cross-court pass, which Marion caught and jumped to receive.

"Bang!!!"

He scored with a powerful two-handed dunk.

2-0!!!

From the jump ball to the score, there wasn't a single dribble. This is typical of the Suns, who excel at fast breaks and demonstrate the fluidity of their offense.

The good times didn't last long...

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt, Duncan blocked Weiguo, allowing Muhammad to receive Parker's pass, who then made a strong layup and almost drew a foul from Stoudemire. Then... Nash broke through and passed the ball to Jackson on the outside, Jackson's three-point shot missed, Ginobili grabbed the defensive rebound, and his fast break layup missed. Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and made a bank shot.

The Spurs' defense is much better than the Mavericks'; they have studied tactics to deal with Wei Guo.

In the first few rounds... Wei Guo didn't receive the ball, the pace of offense and defense was very fast, and neither Jackson nor Stoudemire were able to put the ball into the basket when they received the pass.

On the other hand, the Spurs, although they also missed some shots, grabbed offensive rebounds and completed second-chance points.

12:5!!!

Five minutes have passed, and the Spurs are leading by 7 points.

The Suns took 9 shots and made only 2, an absurdly low shooting percentage... This is the difference between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

......

"Brothers, you played really well!"

"come on!"

"Manu, that three-pointer you made was so cool..."

"The Suns are a paper tiger too."

"That's right, as long as we contain Wei Guo, the Suns are no pushover!"

......

The Spurs' bench players were very excited and stood up to give Duncan and the others a high-five.

The first official suspension...

The Spurs took an early 7-point lead, which boosted the team's morale.

The Phoenix Suns' bench.

Wei Guo glanced at Gentry, who immediately understood his meaning. "I told you not to think about going for Wei Guo, but when Wei Guo has an opportunity, he is still the team's number one scorer. Just now, there was a play... Wei Guo reached out for the ball, Johnson, why didn't you pass the ball to Wei Guo instead of forcing your way through Bowen?!"

The Suns' offense was problematic; in five minutes, Wei Guo didn't have possession of the ball even once on offense.

Admittedly...

The Spurs' defensive focus is on Wei Guo, but Wei Guo remains the Suns' primary scoring option.

"Old Jin, don't say that!"

Wei Guo glared at Gentry, "I think Johnson's offensive choices are not wrong, but when I ask for the ball, he should consider getting the ball to me first."

Gentry remained silent...

John bowed his head and then looked up again, his eyes filled with gratitude for the defense of the country.

D'Antoni said, "We won all four of our regular season games against the Spurs, and that was all thanks to Wei. Wei is also the player the Spurs fear the most. We need to provide more support for Wei and create more offensive opportunities for him."

"Understood, Coach."

Nash and the others nodded in agreement.

......

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

......

The audience's enthusiasm did not dissipate despite being down by 7 points; their cheers remained high.

Timeout over, game resumes!

Nash dribbled past midcourt and made a long pass to Stoudemire in the paint. Muhammad was closely guarding him, and Stoudemire faked a shot to get Muhammad off his feet, creating a good scoring opportunity.

But...

After playing alongside Wei Guo for a season, Stoudemire not only improved his skills significantly, but also gained much better awareness.

Nash shouted, "Give the ball to Wei!"

With just one sentence, Stoudemire guessed that Duncan was already behind him, ready to block his shot at any moment. He immediately went to find Wei Guo and found that Wei Guo was already beside him. He handed the ball to Wei Guo by hand.

Wei Guo receives the ball and jumps from the spot!

Swinging arms like a giant windmill...

"Bang!!!"

A powerful dunk bent the rim.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle, calling a defensive foul on Muhammad.

Wei Guo stepped up to shoot the free throws and whistled at Duncan, "Tim, did you see that... this standing windmill dunk, isn't it cool?"

"Tch~"

Duncan replied blankly, "I can too."

"Whoosh!!!"

Wei Guo made the free throw.

12:8!!

Wei Guo made a '2+1' play, and the Suns narrowed the gap to 3 points.

Popovich shouted, "Stop Weiguo! Don't let Weiguo get the ball!"

The audience always had a feeling that as long as the basketball was in Wei Guo's hands, whether it was 2 points or 3 points, in short... Wei Guo could always score.

Spurs on offense!

Parker dribbled past Nash in the corner, and facing Marion who was helping to defend, Parker made a half-turn and shook off Marion. After getting past both of them, Parker drove to the basket and made a small floater!

"grass!!!"

Wei Guo appeared behind Parker and slapped the basketball away, saying, "Let's see you get cocky!"

Parker: (?﹏?)

He beat two people in a row, what a brilliant breakthrough! How did Wei Guo suddenly appear out of nowhere?
