The Mavericks players looked relaxed.
35:51!!
They have a 16-point lead, and Weiguo has had an incredibly tough time; they are confident of winning this game.
actually...
Some fans find Nelson's tactics awkward, but most Mavericks players are good-natured and will execute the coach's tactics.
The Mavericks are on offense!
Wei Dong defended Nash very closely. Nash passed the ball to Finley, but Finley missed his shot under the basket!
Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound, and Finley and Fordson came close again. This time Finley learned his lesson and kept half a step away from Wei Guo to avoid Wei Guo spinning the basketball around his waist again. He was tricked by Wei Dong once in the first half, which made the whole audience laugh.
Tyronn Lue is standing in the center circle!
Wei Guo lobbed the ball high, which was just enough for Tyronn Lue, and then he rushed up the court. Finley and Jamison followed closely behind Wei Guo. Wei Guo stopped abruptly at the three-point line, took a step back, turned around... and then instantly rushed towards the basket!
That sequence of movements was too fast...
Finley and Jamison both missed their targets, with Jamison nearly falling to the ground. He muttered angrily, "Is this guy a football player?!"
It's worth noting that Wei Guo's off-ball movement is among the best in the league!
As he charged toward the basket, Wei Guo shouted, "Tyronn Lue, throw the ball toward the hoop!"
This is going to be an aerial relay!
Tyronn Lue made a hasty pass, which was very erratic. Wei Guo rushed past the basket to receive the ball, but it was too late for him to dunk. Fortunately... Wei Dong caught up!
Wei Guo slammed the ball to the floor, and as it bounced up, it landed right in Wei Dong's hands. Jamison and Nowitzki both rushed towards Wei Guo, but there was no one under the basket. Wei Dong caught the ball and jumped!
"Bang!!!"
A one-handed dunk scores!
37:51!!
The most exciting part of this play wasn't Wei Dong's dunk, but Wei Guo's pass.
but...
Wei Dong's ability to follow the ball to the basket at that moment demonstrates his exceptional basketball awareness, and even after retiring for only half a year, he still completed that one-handed dunk with such ease.
......
This was supposed to be an alley-oop for Wei Guo, but because Tyronn Lue didn't pass the ball well, it turned into an assist for Wei Guo and a dunk for Wei Dong!
but...
In those extreme situations, to be able to deliver the ball so accurately to a teammate like Wei Guo is something virtually no player in the league can do. Just considering the height of Tyronn Lue's passes, there aren't many players who can catch the ball in the air.
"In that situation, I had to throw the ball towards the basket immediately..."
Tyronn Lue consoled himself, "I can't entirely blame myself for not passing the ball well. Wei Ge will definitely find a way to get the ball to the rebound. I know basketball better than anyone!"
......
When the Mavericks attacked, Wei Dong shook off his fatigue and played a very tough defense!
After Nash passed the ball to the inside, Jamison passed it back to Nash, who then stepped back and launched a fadeaway jumper!
"Sizzle~~~"
Wei Dong's fingertips brushed against the basketball.
Mourning and Wei Guo were both vying for position under the basket, but Wei Guo grabbed the rebound before Mourning!
Mourning recalled that during halftime, Wei Guo said something like, "The area under the basket is their biggest advantage. We have to fight for every rebound to have any hope of winning!"
This time...
Wei Guo dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, broke through two defenders, and passed the ball to Wei Dong outside the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, Wei Dong took a step inside the three-point line before shooting. This is the experience of a veteran. The NBA three-point line is different from the international three-point line. It is farther away. His most reliable shooting point is one step inside the three-point line.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball hit the back rim of the hoop and bounced into the basket!
39:51!!
After the start of the second half, Wei Dong first received a pass from Wei Guo and dunked to score. Then he defended against Nash's attack and received another pass from Wei Guo, making a mid-range shot.
Scott clicked his tongue. "I don't admire Wei Dong, I admire Lao Jin the most... How did you come up with such a trick?"
By the end of the first half, Wei Dong was already exhausted. Scott thought that Wei Dong had done well enough, so he would let him rest and recover his strength in the third quarter and then come back on in the fourth quarter.
But...
Gentry actually came up with the idea of having Wei Dong make a phone call home!
Gentry stroked his chin, wondering if he should grow a beard. Touching a beard would make him seem more profound than touching his chin. "There's an ancient Chinese poem that goes, 'When war rages for three months, a letter from home is worth a fortune...' The football field is like a battlefield, and the voice from home is the most inspiring."
Gentry's approach has some effect, but it won't be this obvious!
What truly energized Wei Dong was his six-and-a-half-month-old daughter's cry of "Daddy!"
"Dude, you absolutely have to guard Nash!"
Wei Guo reminded Wei Dong that if the Nets could stop Nash, they would have won half the battle!
Wei Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Leave it to me!"
The game gradually became more intense in the third quarter. Finley and Jamison dared not double-team Wei Dong recklessly because the other four players on the Nets were gradually developing a good understanding of each other, and Wei Dong was always able to make open shots!
The third quarter...
Wei Dong scored 11 points, making 5 of 7 field goals and 1 of 1 free throw!
......
With the game in the fourth quarter, the Nets were down by only 3 points!
"Except for Wei Guo, all the other Nets players are at their physical limit. If we play normally, we can win!"
Nelson was full of disdain for the Nets, and then put all the starters on the court!
"Aren't they going to change their main players either?"
Scott asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we let the substitutes play for a while before bringing on the starters?"
Gentry said, "The Mavericks' starters have plenty of energy, so there's no need for substitutes at this point... Nelson still lacks confidence in this game and is hesitant to put his substitutes on the court."
Nets on offense!
Cummings couldn't find any space to shoot, so he threw the ball high to the three-point line!
Wei Guo jumped with all his might to receive the ball. After landing, Finley and Jamison sandwiched Wei Guo. Wei Guo dribbled back a step and shot a three-pointer. Finley helped defend and attacked Wei Guo's wrist one-on-one!
"well..."
Finley's sigh hadn't even finished when the cheers from the fans made him sigh heavily again, "Sigh!!!"
The first sigh was regret for his recklessness, sending Wei Guo to the free-throw line. Wei Guo's free throws were more accurate than Nash's, which was tantamount to giving the Nets three points.
The second sigh came when he realized that even though he fouled, he couldn't stop Wei Guo from scoring and even allowed Wei Guo to complete a 3+1 play.
