Start by Maxing Out the Attack Talent, Kobe Is Jealous

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...

Chapter 372 is full of provocation

Wei Guo's return gave the whole team a huge boost.

Marion moved quickly, using his long legs to catch up with Ginobili, and slapped the ball against the backboard as Ginobili went for a layup.

Ginobili heard Wei Guo's voice and glanced back. Marion was still more than three meters away from him, so he confidently went for the layup. He didn't expect Marion's explosive power to be so strong. Marion appeared behind him as if he had teleported and slammed the basketball onto the backboard.

If God gave Ginobili another chance, he would probably choose to dunk, right?

Wei Guo attracted everyone's attention.

Or rather...

All eyes were fixed on Wei Guo's left arm. The scene before he left the stage was still replaying in their minds. Wei Guo suddenly appeared... Many audience members couldn't help but pinch their thighs, thinking they were dreaming.

Gentry stood up and walked toward Weiguo, but Weiguo stopped him with a look.

......

The score and time were displayed on the big screen.

Eight minutes and 51 seconds have passed in the fourth quarter, with only 3 minutes and 9 seconds left in the game.

85:104!!

The Suns are down by 19 points.

In a sense, the game had already entered garbage time. If this were a regular season game, the Suns might have already given up, but this is the Western Conference Finals, and Wei Guo is back. A comeback of 19 points in three minutes doesn't seem impossible.

There's something even more important...

Kimura Takeru's malicious foul on Wei Guo angered everyone. Ninety-nine percent of fans were pessimistic and did not believe that Wei Guo would be able to return for this series. As commentators Lao Xu and Lao Yang said, this kind of injury could even end the season. Therefore, it is of great significance for Wei Guo to return to the court.

Marion called a short timeout as soon as he got the ball.

really...

Wei Guo walked to the technical table and waved for Hunter to leave the field.

"Brother Wei..."

Hunter's eyes welled up with tears. "Are you really alright?"

High five...

Wei Guo grinned. "You've worked hard, brother. Leave the rest to me."

"They're bullying me... Brother Wei, go kick their asses until they're ripped apart!"

Hunter was full of grievances. Having rarely had the opportunity to play, he was completely unable to adapt to the pace of the Western Conference Finals. He was dominated by Duncan, and even the technically unskilled Muhammad managed to score 6 points over Hunter.

"mVp!"

"mVp!"

"mVp!"

Wei Guo was back on the field, and that was enough... Whether they could turn the tide was no longer important. The fans started cheering, and the huge roar almost lifted the roof off the stadium.

Even the general manager hiding in the stands was wondering if he should reinforce the arena roof after the game. This was just the Western Conference Finals; when they lifted the championship trophy, wouldn't the cheers from the audience be deafening?

......

The game restarted, and the Suns went on offense.

Nash received the inbound pass from the baseline and made a long pass... The basketball landed in Wei Guo's hands. When Wei Guo received the ball, he was still three steps away from the three-point line. Before Bowen could even close the gap, he took a shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

88:104!!

The Suns are still down by 16 points.

The audience clenched their fists; the observant among them had already noticed that Wei Guo's shooting hand was left-handed.

"He shoots with his left hand!"

Popovich jumped to his feet. "Why?!"

Fans familiar with Wei Guo know that his dominant hand is his right hand. Although he has a very high shooting percentage with both hands and can easily complete several layups with his hands, shooting a long-range three-pointer with his left hand when he is unguarded is a provocation!

Scoring alone won't be enough to close the gap, so Wei Guo roared, "Full press!"

Without Wei Guo needing to remind them, the Suns players had already done it!

Nash got close to Parker, and six seconds passed, but Parker still couldn't get the ball across midcourt. Ginobili jumped up and waved, urging Parker to throw him the ball.

Marion suddenly appeared from the side...

"Smack!"

They intercepted the ball in mid-air.

With a block and a steal, Marion, the "Hacker," went on a rampage. After the steal, he went to Wei Guo first and then passed the ball to him.

Bowen shouted as he ran, "Double-team! Don't let Weiguo shoot!"

Wei Guo used the 'Shooting Rune' for his first shot. The rune's effect lasts for 24 seconds, and with 7 seconds left, Wei Guo didn't want to waste it. He caught the ball, jumped, and shot, completing the action in one go.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net again.

91:104!!

The Suns were down by 13 points with 2 minutes and 51 seconds left in the game.

It only took 18 seconds...

The Suns closed the gap to 6 points.

The audience saw hope of winning again. Yes... Wei Guo could do 14 points in 35 seconds. He was only 19 points behind with three minutes left. How difficult would it be to catch up?

Popovich crossed his arms and sat back down on the bench.

Wei Guo is his nemesis. He scored 100 points in a single game and 14 points in 35 seconds. These records were all achieved against the Spurs. Now he has to use three minutes to make up for 19 points.

If Wei Guo really succeeds, the Spurs should avoid him from now on.

......

The Spurs were on offense. Ginobili received a pass from Parker, bounced the ball off the ground, and passed it to Duncan.

Duncan's high-pressing, high-hitting style...

Facing Wei Guo, Duncan chose to pass the ball. When Bowen received the ball, there were 7 seconds left on the 24-second shot clock, and he took a mid-range shot.

A shadow appeared over Bowen's head!

*Smack!!!*

Richardson gave Bowen a big compliment.

The Suns launch a fast break!

Richardson passed the ball to Nash, Nash passed it to Marion, and Marion passed it to Wei Guo.

"Bang!!!"

Wei Guo receives the ball and slams it home!

4.3 seconds!!!

From initiating the attack to scoring, the Suns only needed 4.7 seconds, showcasing their run-and-gun offense to its fullest potential.

Viewers also noticed that Wei Guo was still using his left hand when he dunked.

as if...

Wei Guo was injured not in his left arm, but in his right arm!

The Spurs' assistant coach was furious: "That's outrageous! His left-handed dunk was a clear provocation!"

Wei Guo overheard this, turned his head and glanced contemptuously at the assistant coach, then made a throat-slitting gesture with his left hand across his neck, signaling to the assistant coach that he was provoking them.

......

Popovich stood up and called a timeout.

In less than a minute, the Suns scored 8 consecutive points, erasing their 19-point lead and leaving them with only 11 points. The balance of power began to tip.

"In the last two minutes, the key is to avoid mistakes!"

"Let's buy some time..."

"Tim, Bruce, Manu... the three of you team up and double-team Wei Guo to stop him from scoring!"

"......"

"We can't lose this game!"

Popovich was completely distraught. With a 19-point lead, he absolutely couldn't afford to be overtaken, not even if he were to return to defend his country.

actually...

Popovich was also a little emotional. He was heartbroken when Wei Guo was injured, and now that he saw Wei Guo back on the court unharmed, his heart ached even more.
