The first half of the game has ended, and the cheerleaders are dancing energetically on the field.

Jordan, sitting in the audience, was chatting with the beautiful woman next to him. She looked unfamiliar, but since she was sitting with them, she must be someone important.

The beautiful woman has a cheerful personality...

The fact that the Suns were down by more than ten points didn't affect her mood. She chatted happily with Jordan, and the old man couldn't help but want to ask the beautiful woman out. However, the woman told the old man that she already had a boyfriend, and he was a player on the Suns.

No wonder she's sitting here.

This made Old Master Qiao give up the idea and become indifferent to beautiful women.

......

The home team locker room.

The atmosphere was anything but dull...

Gentry is so good at it; a simple fable was enough to energize the team.

Wei Guo was sometimes very curious about where Gentry got so many stories. From the first time he met Gentry until now, Gentry's fables and short stories had never been repeated. Sometimes Wei Guo would get excited when he heard them.

The Suns have faced situations where they were down by more than ten points in the first half before.

This time it's different. The Heat are very strong, stronger than any opponent the Suns have faced. The Pistons were able to go to a Game 7 with the Heat because of their defense, but the Pistons' offense is not weak either. Prince is good at both offense and defense, Hamilton has an unstoppable mid-range shot, and Anthony is an offensive kaleidoscope.

The Suns don't have the same level of defense as the Pistons, so they'll have to rely on their offense to beat the Heat.

so...

The Suns are having a tough time.

......

The second half of the game began, and all the cheerleaders retreated to the sidelines.

Retreating to the sidelines doesn't mean you're not there...

Whenever Wei Guo scores a brilliant goal, the cheerleaders cheer with excitement, their eyes sparkling as they shout, "Wei Guo! Wei Guo! Wei Guo!"

Heat on offense!

O'Neal received the pass, turned around, and slammed it home!

Wei Guo was blocked by O'Neal and tried to block him, but was called for a defensive foul.

O'Neal stepped up to the free-throw line.

Wei Guo joked, "Can you shoot a free throw with your back to the basket?"

"cannot!"

O'Neal's answer was quite straightforward.

The free throw with his back to the basket is a meme. Back in Wei Guo's rookie season, after being teased by O'Neal, Wei Guo actually did the free throw with his back to the basket and made both shots. Of course, O'Neal couldn't do that; even facing the basket for free throws was extremely difficult for him.

"bang~~~"

The penalty was missed.

"Whoosh!!!"

Both free throws went in.

O'Neal breathed a sigh of relief. He made one of two free throws, a 50% free throw percentage, which he was quite satisfied with.

46:61!!

With O'Neal making one of two free throws, the Heat took a 15-point lead.

15 points is a critical point. If the gap continues to widen, the game could easily be blown out, and the Suns must catch up.

Baseline serve!

The Heat quickly got back on defense, and the Suns' fast break failed to materialize. Neither Joe Johnson nor Nash had a chance to shoot, and a dozen seconds later, the ball was in Wei Guo's hands.

He's one-on-one against O'Neal under the basket!

Wei Guo's strength is no less than O'Neal's, only their physiques are somewhat different; O'Neal is like a wall.

After turning around, Wei Guo took a step back, intending to score with a bank shot, but was interfered with by Haslem who came to help defend. The shot missed and Kidd picked up the rebound.

"I studied the State of Wei for a year."

Van Gundy said smugly, "Wei Guo has mastered almost all offensive methods, but interfering with him at the moment he releases his shot will still affect his shot."

A successful defense can easily make the opponent complacent.

after all...

Wei Guo's opponents always felt that whenever he made a move, it was guaranteed to go in.

So aside from some powerful dunks, long-range three-pointers, and many extremely difficult shots, opponents often remember how many shots Wei Guo missed in a night, rather than how many shots he made or how many points he scored.

Some fans will praise players from ancient times...

For example, Wilt Chamberlain once averaged 50 points per game in a season and scored 100 points in a single game, which is enough to show that Chamberlain was an extremely great player, and the defense of that era was also fierce enough.

There is a short story.

Magic Johnson had already created his own miracles when he first entered the league, but when he faced Wilt Chamberlain, who was in his forties, in a college arena, all of his shots were blocked by Chamberlain.

Chamberlain's greatness does not necessarily mean that his era was superior to ours.

With basketball rules constantly changing and defensive systems continuously improving, it would be virtually impossible for Wilt Chamberlain in his prime to score 100 points in a single game if he were to travel back to the 90s or 00s.

Wei Guo's physical talent is no less than Chamberlain's, and his offensive skills far surpass Chamberlain's. Even so, he only has two 100-point performances. The most recent one was a 108-point game, which left Wei Guo so exhausted that he kept vomiting when he returned to the locker room.

But...

This year's finals.

With his teammates contained, Wei Guo must take up the mantle of the team's offense.

Heat on offense!

Wade and Haslem cut in and ran together. After receiving a pass from Kidd, Wade used a crossover step to make a layup and put the ball into the basket with a reverse hand.

46:63!!

The Suns not only failed to close the gap, but the deficit widened further, now trailing by 17 points.

......

"Suns request a timeout!"

......

Gentry called a timeout, and the players returned to the sidelines.

Gentry clipped the clipboard to his back and said, "Take the shot when you get the chance. With Wei Ge grabbing the rebounds, what are you afraid of?"

"Their defensive movements were too aggressive."

Richardson complained, "Especially Miller, he not only makes big moves, but also a lot of dirty tricks. He even pinched my arm when I was breaking through!"

A complaint enraged Wei Guo, who retorted, "Is your elbow for braising? If he pinches you again, just hit him with your elbow."

"This isn't a good idea..."

Richardson said in a low voice.

He's only been in the league for a few years, he's practically a rookie... Miller is a veteran, someone who dared to challenge Jordan. If he really elbowed him, would Miller beat him up?

These worries are obviously unnecessary. Miller has been beaten up by Wei Guo once. He can talk trash, but he doesn't have the guts to actually fight. Richardson is being too cautious because of the environment. It's the young player's first time playing in the Finals, so he's bound to be a little nervous.

Cummings rubbed his lower back.

real...

If it weren't for his back pain, he would have kicked Richardson to the ground and taken the field himself.
