Every player was warming up diligently, and D'Antoni also went up to stretch for a while.

He also assisted Wei Guo in completing several powerful dunks...

It's clear that the Suns are very relaxed. For them, winning or losing this game is a win-win situation. If they win, they can sweep the Spurs and advance to the Finals. If they lose, they can play another game and Stoudemire can return for the first game of the Finals.

......

After warming up, the starting players came on the field.

Wei Guo and Duncan stood at center circle, ready for the jump ball. This was their fourth jump ball since the Western Conference Finals began, and Duncan hadn't won a single one.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle blew, and the game began.

Wei Guo passed the ball to Nash, ran to the frontcourt to position himself under the basket and call for the ball. After receiving the pass from Nash, Wei Guo backed down Duncan.

Muhammad did not come to help defend...

Wei Guo turned and feinted, feinted and turned, turned and feinted... finally tricking Duncan out of position, and then easily put the basketball into the basket with a layup.

This is somewhat similar to the Dream Shake, but faster than Hakeem Olajuwon's Dream Shake. The main reason is that the defender is Duncan. If it were Muhammad, the defender would use a rougher approach, force his way to the basket, and then dunk to score. It would be a clean and efficient move, and might even draw a foul from Muhammad.

The Spurs are on offense.

Bowen missed a mid-range shot, and Wei Guo grabbed the rebound.

Then...

Wei Guo made a long pass to assist Nash in hitting a three-pointer.

5-0!!!

The Suns took an early 5-point lead.

Popovich sat on the bench, saying nothing. After the game, he learned why Wei Guo had scored 108 points: it was for a boy named Andrew Wiggins. The story was very touching... For the Spurs, they had almost played their best offense of the season, but they were still defeated by Wei Guo in the game-winning shot.

They've lost their energy and spirit.

Even the Spurs' die-hard fans had little hope for this game.

The Spurs attacked again.

Duncan had already set up his position, but Parker didn't choose to pass the ball. Instead, he faced Nash's defense and took a three-pointer, which is his least favorite shot.

"bang~~~"

Without a doubt, the ball missed again.

Because Duncan was positioned in front of Wei Guo to receive the ball, it was too late for him to turn around and grab the rebound, and Wei Guo easily secured the defensive rebound once again.

This is a bit like giving up entirely...

Popovich's face grew increasingly grim. Parker had his reasons for not passing the ball; one-on-one defense was the worst offensive option, and Nash was the Suns' weakest defensive link. However, Parker seemed to have forgotten that he wasn't good at three-pointers.

The Suns played with great discipline.

After three passes, the basketball reached Wei Guo, who then went one-on-one against Duncan and scored with a hook shot.

"Skyhook? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?"

Gentry was stunned...

When did Wei Guo learn this move? If Wei Guo can even do Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook shot, he will be invincible under the basket.

Speaking of which, Wei Guo won the skill pack for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar last night. Wei Guo still has more than thirty lottery boxes saved up. Since his skills and talent are already close to perfect, drawing silver or bronze player cards would be of almost no help to him, so Wei Guo is too lazy to draw any more.

I got really angry at D'Antoni yesterday...

To cheer himself up, Wei Guo did a ten-pull and unexpectedly drew a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar player card. So, out of fifty gold player cards, Wei Guo has drawn 41, and only needs nine more to complete his collection.

......

End of first quarter.

27:19!!

The Suns lead by 8 points.

Popovich only called one timeout. He had already laid out the tactics before the game. If the players didn't play well, the coach shouldn't take the blame.

actually...

The Suns weren't very aggressive either. Apart from Wei Guo, who made all four of his shots and scored 8 points, the other players' shooting percentages were only average.

Unfortunately, even when I gave you the chance, you failed miserably.

Cummings was still mocking D'Antoni, saying that if the Suns lost tonight given the Spurs' performance, the league would definitely investigate them.

......

For the first half of the second quarter, Wei Guo remained on the bench.

He scored 108 points in the last game, but physical exertion was secondary; mental exertion was the main issue. You could see it in the first quarter: Wei Guo had no offensive desire whatsoever. He scored two baskets against Duncan at the start, but for the next ten minutes, Wei Guo seemed to be taking a stroll when the Suns were on offense.

Defend against Duncan...grab the rebounds...

Wei Guo did these two things in the first quarter, and fortunately... as long as Duncan is contained, the Spurs are contained.

During the time Wei Guo was off the court, the Spurs were unable to close the gap, and when Wei Guo returned to the court, the score gap widened further.

......

The first half has ended.

51:41!!

The Suns are leading by 10 points.

During halftime, even the cheerleaders' performance seemed listless, and no one had any hope for the Spurs anymore.

The home team locker room.

Veteran Barry said dejectedly, "If it weren't for Kimura Takeru's malicious foul, we probably wouldn't have lost so badly."

"Why bring up things that are already in the past?"

Ginobili encouraged him, saying, "It's only a 10-point deficit. If we can catch up in the second half, and win this game, we might be able to turn things around."

This encouragement didn't seem to have much effect, as most players remained listless.

Away game locker room.

D'Antoni said dejectedly, "I was thinking the Spurs would come back, and I was worried we'd lose this game."

Are you worried about losing...?

Cummings thought to himself that D'Antoni was hoping the team would lose so that Stoudemire could return for Game 1 of the Finals.

Ultimately...

Regardless of whether their Finals opponent is the Pistons or the Heat, D'Antoni is not 100% confident.

......

The miracle did not happen to the Spurs.

The third quarter...

The Suns unleashed a barrage of three-pointers, with Marion even hitting 2 out of 3 attempts, sealing the victory in one fell swoop.

This was definitely the easiest game the Suns have ever won.

The Western Conference Finals consisted of four games...

Wei Guo returned to the game in the final moments, leading the team to a 19-point comeback in just three minutes.

Joe Johnson exploded in Game 2, becoming the Suns' secret weapon for victory.

In his third game, he scored a whopping 108 points, and in the final moments, he used his incredible physical gifts to grab a crucial rebound, then made a dazzling crossover and sealed the victory against the Spurs at the buzzer.

None of these three matches were won easily.

Only the last game...

This was also a game that D'Antoni wanted to lose tactically. Six Suns players scored in double figures, and four of them scored more than 20 points. Wei Guo, who scored 21 points, only ranked third on the team. Nash scored 27 points, Joe Johnson scored 25 points, and Marion scored 20 points. The four of them combined for nearly 100 points.
