36:27!!

The 76ers lead by 9 points.

The point difference has several phases, and these phases can affect the players' mentality.

The player's mentality is very stable, scoring 1-10 points.

Between 11 and 20 points, the players were anxious.

Between 21 and 30 points, the players' mentality collapsed.

The player's mentality is very stable, ranging from 30 to 100 points.

Whether you're leading or trailing by 30 points, the outcome of the game is basically decided.

......

After Wei Guo's free throw, the Pacers continued their offense.

Tinsley stood at the top of the arc, holding the basketball with both hands, looking for a passing opportunity. Artest made a back cut and received the pass in the mid-range.

Artest takes a shot!

"hello! how are you!!!"

Then a roar was heard, and Wei Guo rushed forward, blocking Artest's shot once again.

Artest: (*｀皿′*)?

This shot...

When Artest shot, Wei Guo was still two steps away from him. He rushed over after Artest released the ball and still managed to block it.

Jones got the ball and threw it forward.

Iverson sprints...

He receives the basketball at the free-throw line, dribbles once, and jumps.

"Bang!!!"

Allen Iverson's powerful two-handed dunk!

......

The atmosphere instantly ignited, and the DJ shouted, "Allen Iverson!!!"

"Iverson!"

"Iverson!"

"Iverson!"

The audience also chanted Iverson's name.

......

The second quarter was halfway through.

38:27!!

The difference reached double digits for the first time.

Pacers head coach Isaiah Thomas called a timeout.

"Be decisive on offense. Don't be afraid to attack the basket just because your 76ers teammates have three big men. Charge in and go up against them!"

"Play even more aggressively, make them fear you!"

"(bad language)"

On the 76ers' side.

After Brown finished explaining the tactics, Coach Thompson added, "You guys are number one in the East, and they're number eight. Mentally, they're even tougher. Even if they lose, they want to make you suffer."

"Coach Thompson is right."

Brown said, "Don't be afraid of them. We've fought all kinds of tough battles. We just need to be tougher than them."

........

The timeout has ended, and the Pacers are inbounding the ball from the baseline.

As soon as Tinsley received the ball, Bell rushed forward to press him. Tinsley lost his grip on the ball, and Iverson rushed over and stole it.

Jermaine O'Neal stood under the basket, ready to block Allen Iverson.

However...

Iverson tossed the ball over the rim.

"Bang!!!"

Wei Guo scores with an alley-oop and a one-handed dunk!

Thomas stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Don't get distracted, everyone get serious!"

He just called a timeout, hoping his players would become more aggressive, but instead of the Pacers becoming more aggressive, the 76ers became even more aggressive in their play.

After Iverson stole the ball, Wei Guo immediately ran back and completed a beautiful alley-oop with Iverson.

The Pacers are on offense!

Miller drove to the basket and, over Coleman, launched a fadeaway jumper.

"hello! how are you!!!"

It was that terrifying voice again.

Wei Guo blocked Miller's shot over Coleman.

The referee hesitated for a moment...

The ball was determined not to be a goaltending ball.

Iverson got the ball and immediately launched a fast break, with Wei Guo following up... Iverson tossed the ball into the air and ran around the baseline towards the backcourt.

"Bang!!!"

Behind Iverson, Wei Guo once again completed an alley-oop dunk!

42:27!!

The 76ers have completely taken control of the game's pace.

......

The first half ended, and the players returned to the locker room.

57:36!!

The 76ers lead by 21 points.

Coach Thompson sat down next to Wei Guo and said, "I'm starting to dislike you a little."

"Why?"

Wei Guo did not understand the meaning of Thompson's words.

Coach Thompson said, "No matter how much I advised you in college, you never practiced or played. If you had played in college, Georgetown would have won a few more championship trophies."

"Hahaha..."

Wei Guo smiled to cover his embarrassment.

Damn it, I didn't know how to play basketball back then, and there was no system for it, so how could I get on the court?

Starting from scratch... I'm afraid my teammates will laugh at me to death.

Undeniably, some players started playing basketball in college and eventually achieved great success, but that certainly doesn't include Wei Guo. No matter how talented Wei Guo is, he is in a foreign country with a different culture, and his teammates' acceptance of him varies.

It can be said that...

During his college years, no one on the team, except Coach Thompson, had high hopes for him.

Coach Thompson said, "With your performance this season, you're basically guaranteed the regular season MVP, All-NBA First Team, and All-Defensive First Team. If you can also win the Defensive Player of the Year award, that would be perfect."

Winning both MVP and DPOY in a single season is a feat achieved by only two players in the league: Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon.

If Weiguo could do this...

He can be considered the strongest rookie in the NBA, bar none, because this year is Wei Guo's rookie year.

Brown didn't give any specific tactical instructions. He only said when the break was almost over, "Play well in the second half and try to finish the game in three quarters!"

......

The third quarter begins.

Artest's bulldozer-style layup.

"Hello, how are you!!!"

That terrifying sound came again.

Wei Guo pounced on Artest's layup, grabbed the ball, and looked at Artest provocatively, saying, "Don't ever try to lay up in front of me again."

The Pacers want to play tougher.

But...

With Wei Guo, Mutombo, and Coleman guarding the paint, it's terrifying. If they break through Coleman and Mutombo's defense, Wei Guo is waiting for them.

The 76ers are on offense.

Wei Guo slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and O'Neal pulled out to defend him. Coleman ran around the baseline to counter Wei Guo.

Bounce pass!

Wei Guo passed the ball to Coleman, who then made a layup.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball goes into the net.

59:36!!

The point difference has reached 23 points.

Thomas sat back on the bench with a gloomy face; there was no point in struggling in this game anymore.

As expected...

The game entered garbage time before the third quarter was even over.

......

"Beep!!!"

The match ended with the referee's whistle.

113:79!!

The 76ers defeated the Pacers by 34 points at home, and the reason they won by that many points was because the 76ers started to throw the game in the fourth quarter.

Match statistics:

Iverson: 37 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 1 block

Wei Guo: 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 11 blocks
