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...
The Nuggets' best defensive player is Camby; Anthony and Iverson's defensive abilities are both average.
The Nuggets are on offense!
It was still their signature one-on-one game, only this time it was Kenyon. Kenyon received a pass from Iverson, turned around, and slammed it home!
Matchup against Odom...
Kenyon is very confident; when the Nets won the championship, he was one of Wei's right-hand men.
*Smack!!!*
Kenyon's powerful dunk was blocked by Wei Guo.
Kenyon, "???"
He noticed that Brother Wei was right behind him, but he didn't expect Brother Wei to be so disrespectful to him.
......
tNt live stream room.
Barkley: "When Kenyon sticks his butt out, Wei knows what he's going to do. It's normal for him to get blocked."
Johnson: "You're wrong... Even if you know Kenyon is going to turn and dunk, there are very few players who can block him head-on."
Barkley: "Defending the country is enough."
Johnson said, "His ability to block Kenyon is entirely due to his individual skill."
Barkley said, "Wei Guo taught Camby a lesson, showing him how to block opponents."
......
Camby is a center who relies on his rim protection and shot-blocking abilities to make a living in this league... but these two abilities that he is so proud of are a bit lacking in the face of Wei Guo.
After Wei Guo blocked Kenyon's shot, the defense was not over.
The basketball flew towards the sidelines...
Kobe lunged forward, grabbed the ball, and threw it to Paul. Paul caught up quickly and dribbled to the frontcourt, but Iverson caught up near the three-point line. Paul regained his composure.
Kobe and Weiguo make cross-cutting runs!
Iverson reminded his teammates, "Watch Weiguo's position, don't let him shoot three-pointers."
The Lakers' offensive choices are easy to predict: they'll either pass to Kobe or Wei Guo. Wei Guo will run to the perimeter, and if Wei Guo receives the ball beyond the three-point line, Iverson will have to risk stealing it by playing close defense and not giving Wei Guo any space to shoot. Once Wei Guo shoots, Iverson can only watch helplessly.
Paul dribbles to the free-throw line, using a feint!
His eyes were on Wei Guo, but he made a bounce pass, and the basketball went through Camby's crotch and into Kobe's hands.
There was no one under the basket!
"Bang!!!"
Kobe's solo performance, scoring with a powerful two-handed dunk.
58:56!!
The Lakers took the lead.
This is a signal: from trailing to leading, the Lakers have sounded the horn for a comeback. They no longer want to play with the Nuggets and are ready to reap the rewards.
The Nuggets are on offense!
Iverson blew past Kobe, Odom came to help defend, and together with Kobe, they blocked all of Iverson's offensive passing lanes. Iverson forced a shot but missed, and Weiguo grabbed the defensive rebound.
Lakers on offense!
Paul passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe passed it to Wei Guo, Wei Guo cut to the basket and passed it to Gasol, who caught the ball and dunked for a score.
These two offensive plays were a microcosm of the game: the Lakers scored every basket easily, while the Nuggets scored every basket with great difficulty.
Wei Guo and Kobe's one-on-one abilities are in no way inferior to Iverson and Anthony... but the Lakers play team basketball, passing the ball quickly and getting many open shots.
The Nuggets are different...
The offense was disorganized. Iverson would shoot when he had the ball, and Anthony would shoot when he had the ball. The two were always subjected to a zone defense. Even after getting past one defender, there was another one. They did make a lot of difficult shots, but it was all in vain. You could tell from their shooting percentages that both Iverson and Anthony had shooting percentages below 40%.
On the other hand...
Wei Guo made 11 of 11 shots, while Kobe made 7 of 9!
89:71!!
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 18 points.
......
"The Nuggets are out of the running. I thought they could hold on until the fourth quarter."
"My answer..."
"My melon..."
"Let's disperse, brothers. Faced with absolute power, even the Golden Twin Guns have no chance to resist."
......
Iverson and Anthony have a lot of fans, and many fans hope that the Nuggets can create a miracle.
Just think, when the Golden Twins first combined, it was a shock to the League.
At the time, Wei Guo was still with the Trail Blazers, and he even lost a game to the Nuggets. However, after two seasons, everyone discovered that the Golden Duo had many flaws. Iverson and Anthony did not need teammates with extremely strong offensive abilities; a good playmaker might be more suitable for them.
Maybe...
After this season, one of Iverson and Anthony will leave the team.
The miracles of Wei Guo and Iverson will not be repeated with the Nuggets.
Back when he played for the 76ers, Wei Guo played point guard and hid his powerful offensive ability, only stepping up to score when the team needed him. This perfectly complemented Iverson. Anthony was an offensive kaleidoscope, but his playmaking ability was really not impressive.
......
In the fourth quarter, Wei Guo and Kobe were sitting on the sidelines again.
Paul will continue to lead the team...
Paul and Bynum have reconciled. In Gentry's team, internal strife is absolutely not allowed. No troublemaker can withstand Gentry's parable. During halftime, Gentry simply called Paul and Bynum together and took out a chopstick and a bundle of chopsticks, asking the two of them to break them.
then...
I told them the story of how a single bamboo pole cannot cross a vast ocean, but many people rowing together can propel a large sailboat forward. Paul and Bynum were deeply moved.
After the hug, their relationship was better than ever before.
Bynum loves to eat lobs, so Paul lets him have his fill. He dribbles the ball across the frontcourt, shakes off the defender, and throws it over the basket.
"Bang!!!"
Bynum's alley-oop dunk...that was awesome!
The Nuggets are on offense.
Anthony went one-on-one against Bynum, made a fancy turn, but Paul stole the ball. After the steal, Paul yelled at Anthony, "Bynum is my brother, I won't let you bully him!"
Speaking of which...
There are a few players in the league who have a really good relationship and often go fishing together during the offseason. These players are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul. The four of them are even jokingly called the "Four Musketeers" by fans. Paul's shout startled Anthony. What's wrong with Chris?
Bynum was so moved that he sprinted forward, almost bursting into tears on the field!
Paul and Bynum charged up the court from the left and right respectively. Iverson caught up with Paul, but Camby couldn't catch up with Bynum. Paul had already thrown the ball towards the top of the basket.
"Bang!!!"
Another alley-oop dunk!
93:71!!
The Nuggets are down by 22 points.
With the point difference reaching 20, it's basically garbage time... There's no point in continuing, even knowing that Wei Guo and Kobe won't be playing in the fourth quarter.
Iverson and Anthony played for another three minutes before George Karl called a timeout and substituted both of them.
Iverson sat on the sidelines...
His eyes were filled with melancholy. There is no eternal love in this league. When Wei Guo first joined the league, he was inseparable from him and fought against the OK duo together. Now that Wei Guo is about to join the league, he has turned to team up with Kobe and crushed the Golden Double Guns.
"Pah, what a scumbag."
Iverson urged them on with a strong shout.
......
The match ended six minutes later.
109:83!!
The Lakers defeated the Nuggets by 26 points at home.
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 29 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks
