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...
"This is fucking weird..."
Wei Guo chuckled, "Anyone who goes up there can score?"
“Brother Wei, you may not know Barry. He entered the league in '95... Although he didn't have any outstanding performances, he consistently averaged around 10 points per game, making him a qualified substitute.”
"How many points did he score in those regular season games?"
This was a question that Cummings needed to answer. Without even looking up information, he immediately replied, "6 points in Game 1, 3 points in Game 2, 11 points in Game 3, 7 points in Game 4..."
Wei Guo laughed and said, "They're not very tall, no wonder I don't remember him."
......
This player, whom Wei Guo didn't have a strong impression of, quickly made a deep impression on him.
Wei Guo sat on the sidelines for three minutes.
Barry scored 12 points, making 4 of 5 three-point attempts, leading the Spurs to extend their lead to 12 points.
This is very dangerous...
Wei Guo and Nash got up at the same time and walked to the scorer's table; the team needed them.
43:31!!
The Spurs were very efficient offensively, scoring 14 points in just over three minutes, while the Suns only managed 5 points from a three-pointer by Richardson and a layup by Stoudemire.
With Nash and Weiguo back, things will inevitably change.
For the Spurs...
Barry and Horry remained on the court, and the GdP duo (Ginobili, Duncan, and Parker) also entered the game.
The Suns are on offense.
Wei Guo stood outside the three-point line, creating space for Nash to have the ball and attack one-on-one. If the defense wasn't good, the offense would make up for it. Nash used a series of crossovers to get past Parker, drove to the basket, and took a fadeaway shot in the midst of the confrontation.
Horry wanted to block Nash.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
43:33!!
With no big men in the paint, Nash played with incredible determination.
Then...
Duncan missed a bank shot against Wei Guo, Marion grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Suns quickly launched a fast break.
After Richardson received the ball, he passed it back to Wei Guo. Horry came up to defend, and Wei Guo tricked Horry with a simple step-back. However, after taking a step forward, he did not shoot. Instead, he waited for Horry to land and pounce on him before taking a step back!
"oops!!"
Horry slipped and fell to the floor.
"Oh..."
He glanced down at Horry, then launched a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
43:36!!
He outmaneuvered Horry twice, even making him fall over, and this offensive play ignited the atmosphere in the arena.
"Oh ho ho~"
"Oh ho ho~"
"Oh ho ho~"
The audience kept screaming and shouting; they were so excited.
Although this isn't a basketball court, being able to outmaneuver your opponent can still get the audience's adrenaline pumping.
Today's Top 10 Goals +1...
An angry and embarrassed Horry was pulled up by his teammates. He could have attacked directly, but instead he hesitated and took a step back when Horry counterattacked... Wei Guo's disrespect made him very angry.
......
On the Suns' bench, a benchwarmer muttered, "Isn't what Wei Ge did a bit disrespectful to Horry?"
Cummings retorted, "That was a beautiful goal, how is that disrespectful to Horry?"
I just felt...
The benchwarmer whispered, "Wei Guo did it on purpose. He had a chance to shoot, but he paused, and when Horry pounced, he took a step back, making Horry fall flat on his face. That wasn't good."
"Go to hell, you Holy Mother!"
Cummings sneered and ignored the young player.
......
Players who understand defense deserve respect.
But...
Iverson also said that you don't need to respect anyone on the court.
Horry being faked out by Wei Guo is just another addition to the list of 'victims'. Wei Guo has faked out too many players and dunked over too many players. If he has to consider the feelings of his opponents while playing, then Wei Guo shouldn't be playing basketball.
43:36!!
The Suns are only down by 7 points.
Wei Guo's play was like toying with Horry, which angered the entire Spurs team. If Horry were better or more famous than you, toying with him would show your skill. But Horry is several levels below you, and Wei Guo's attempt to toy with him was like bullying a child. Some even imagined the classic line: "Screw your basketball dream."
Spurs on offense!
Duncan, who was defending the defense, had no space to shoot, so he could only pass the ball to the top of the arc. Ginobili received the ball and immediately passed it to Parker in the corner of the three-point line.
Parker was unguarded...
The three-pointer was too threatening. Wei Guo abandoned Duncan and rushed out. Seeing Wei Guo rushing over, Parker did not panic at all. Instead, he raised his hand to make a shooting motion, and Wei Guo jumped instantly.
"I fooled him!"
Parker was secretly pleased, and as soon as Wei Guo landed, he jumped up to shoot.
Parker had calculated everything perfectly, except for how fast Wei Guo's spring speed was. When Wei Guo landed, he was still a step away from Parker when Parker reached his highest point. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew towards the basket.
Wei Guo jumped the instant he landed, even faster than the first time!
*Smack!!!*
With a spectacular block, Wei Guo sent the basketball flying straight into the stands.
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
The entire stadium fell silent.
Barkley said slowly, "Parker thought he was right, but he was wrong. He should have passed the ball to Duncan in the paint the moment Wei Guo jumped."
In this wave, Parker is on the first level, and Weiguo is on the second level.
......
In one game, he was blocked twice by Wei Guo.
Parker seems to be out of sorts...
After receiving a pass from his teammate, Richardson took a ridiculously bad mid-range shot that missed completely, and then picked up the ball.
The Suns launched a fast break!
With just two passes, Marion launched a three-pointer in his signature pose.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
During the three minutes Wei Guo played, the Spurs failed to score a single point, while the Suns scored eight consecutive points, now trailing the Spurs by only four.
Popovich called a timeout.
When the Suns were down by 12 points, Gentry didn't call a timeout, but instead substituted Weiguo and Nash into the game. They were then chased down by 8 points, but Popovich wasn't as calm as Gentry.
"One of you was knocked out by Wei Guo, and the other was hit hard by Wei Guo. Are you two still asleep?!"
"Coach, it's my fault..."
Parker lowered his head. He had underestimated Wei Guo, and he had been too confident in himself, which was why Wei Guo had given him a big thrashing.
Horry is furious...
Popovich glanced at him but didn't say anything more. Horry's defensive attitude was perfectly fine; being outmaneuvered by Wei Guo was simply a case of Wei Guo bullying him.
Horry said hatefully, "Coach, I want to play against Wei Guo!"
Duncan, "???"
"Don't do anything reckless..."
Popovich cautioned, "I don't object to you going to fight him, provided you can beat him."
