Chapter 112 The Vanished Basketball



Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal are about to jump the ball.

"Beep!!!"

As the referee blew his whistle, the basketball was tossed into the air.

"He's so tall!"

Jermaine O'Neal looked up at Yao Ming's hairstyle and asked, "Is he this year's number one draft pick?"

Yao Ming jumped with all his might and passed the ball to Guo Qiang.

Guo Qiang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Wei Guo gestured for Guo Qiang to pass the ball to him.

He caught the basketball!

Wei Guo feinted and instantly passed Miller.

"Holy crap, that fast???"

Miller didn't even have time to defend before Wei Guo suddenly disappeared.

After getting past Miller...

Wei Guo jumped from just inside the free-throw line, raised the basketball high in his right hand, and dunked it over Jermaine O'Neal.

"Bang!!!"

This powerful dunk almost stunned Jermaine O'Neal.

Wow~~~

Garnett and Duncan covered their faces and fell backward; that dunk was too brutal!

Iverson's eyes widened...

From receiving the ball, getting past Miller, to successfully dunking, it seemed to take less than two seconds.

That's too fast!!!

......

The US men's basketball team is on offense. Wei Guo waves to signal his teammates to get back on defense.

Andre dribbles the ball up the court.

Wei Guo turned to Guo Qiang and shouted, "Let him shoot! I've never seen a guard with a worse shot!"

Andrei: (〃′皿`)q

He and Wei Guo are two extremes. Andre's three-point shooting percentage was only over 20% last season, which is extremely bad for a point guard. On the contrary, Wei Guo, a center, had a three-point shooting percentage of over 50%. So Wei Guo's statement is a slap in the face to him!

Most importantly...

Wei Guo, you're Chinese, why do you speak English when talking to your teammates?

Isn't this being explicitly stated to me?

Guo Qiang didn't give Andre any space to shoot, mainly because he didn't understand what Wei Guo had just said.

Andre dribbled the ball, sticking close to Guo Qiang to find physical contact, then moved to the left, stepped back to the three-point line, and shot!

"bang~~~"

Missed the shot!

Ben Wallace blocked Yao Ming, grabbed the defensive rebound, and then jumped up and tossed the ball toward the basket.

*Smack!!!*

Wei Guo appeared behind the big man and slapped the ball onto the backboard.

......

Kobe looked at the court in surprise and murmured, "Weiguo is playing so well today, isn't he?"

"He seems to have no limits."

Garnett said to Kobe, "Did you notice that after Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, Wei Guo only started driving towards the basket, and he accurately judged Ben Wallace's release point."

"His feet were at least a meter off the ground!"

"What terrifying bounce!"

"perhaps..."

Coach Thompson suddenly had an idea and said to Iverson, "I have a thought. Could it be that the reason Wei Guo didn't re-sign with the 76ers is because you limited his performance?"

after all...

Throughout his four years of college, no matter how much Coach Thompson tried to persuade him, Wei Guo simply refused to touch a basketball.

So even Coach Thompson doesn't know exactly where Wei Guo's limits are.

........

Wei Guo blocked Ben Wallace's shot and got the ball.

Instead of passing the ball to the point guard, Wei Guo became the team's best point guard, dribbling the ball up the court by himself.

US men's basketball head coach Karl stood on the sidelines, shouting, "Double-team Wei Guo! Don't give him a chance to shoot!"

In international basketball, the three-point line is already short. Wei Guo jumped three steps away from the three-point line, and he had a great feel for it... as if he could make every shot.

Miller and Pierce flanked Weiguo!

However, Wei Guo's attack point was too high, which was beyond their ability to block.

"Whoosh~~~"

Wei Guo took a three-point shot, the arc of which was very flat.

"Whoosh!!!"

The crisp sound of rinsing the net could be heard.

5-0!!!

Pierce paused, realizing that he had faced Wei Guo in the playoffs before, and Wei Guo had never given him such a hopeless feeling.

I just hope...

These two attacks were flashes of brilliance for Weiguo, but Weiguo will soon revert to its original state.

In the next three minutes, a bizarre scene unfolded on the field: one person had the ball, three defenders were on the field, and six others were watching.

......

"USA Men's Basketball Team requests a timeout!"

Carl had to call a timeout.

Kobe clicked his tongue, "That's insane!"

Just sitting on the sidelines watching the game, Kobe felt suffocated by Wei Guo's offense during those four minutes.

Karl is setting up tactics.

The bench of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Wei Guo said, "The team we're facing consists of the best basketball players in the world, so we can't afford to be careless in the slightest."

When you pass me the ball, don't just stand around on the court. Active movement is essential, especially for Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. The closer you are to the basket, the more likely you are to score.

You all need to be ready to receive the ball at any time! We can't win against the US men's basketball team by myself alone.

"Keep an eye on your assigned defensive area and don't let anyone slip through!"

Wei Guo emphasized it again.

It's obvious...

Wei Guo took this match very seriously. During timeouts, it was Wei Guo, not head coach Wang Hu, who was strategizing.

......

The timeout ended, with 5 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

17:7!!

China's men's basketball team is leading by 10 points.

Brand replaced Ben Wallace, Baron Davis replaced Andre Miller, and Jermaine O'Neal went to the baseline to inbound the ball.

Byron dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, his big butt pressing against Guo Qiang, and slowly moved to the inside, before turning and shooting a fadeaway jumper.

"Get lost!"

Yao Ming jumped and blocked Byron's shot.

Karl was so anxious he jumped up and down. When Byron was dribbling, the other players didn't make any runs. Byron went one-on-one against Guo Qiang, but Yao Ming blocked his shot!

A complete mess!

This word perfectly describes this US men's basketball team.

During the attack...

Every player who gets the ball wants to go it alone. This might work against weaker teams, but the Chinese men's basketball team has Wei Guo and this year's number one draft pick, Yao Ming.

Players like Guo Qiang, Li Xun, and Wei Dong should not be underestimated.

Guo Qiang got the ball and immediately passed it to Wei Guo. All the other players ran towards the frontcourt. Wei Guo moved from the strong side. Pierce and Brand double-teamed Wei Guo. Wei Guo turned twice and reached the baseline. It looked like he and the ball were about to go out of bounds. Little O'Neal also came out from under the basket to help defend.

Weiguo made another turn.

Then...

Wei Guo crossed the line.

Jermaine O'Neal was overjoyed; it was a very successful defensive play.

Even the referee wanted to blow the whistle, but Wei Guo was out of bounds and had no basketball in his hands.

Where's the basketball?

Disappeared?

"Bang!!!"

Behind Jermaine O'Neal, Yao Ming jumped up and slammed the ball down with one hand for a score!

It was like teleportation; the basketball disappeared from Wei Guo's hands and inexplicably ended up in Yao Ming's hands. No one saw Wei Guo's passing motion clearly.
