This cannot be considered a disturbance.
Wei Guo wasn't angry either...
After being called for a foul, Alston retreated on his own!
He was too impulsive just now, and he was even a little scared afterward. He actually provoked the number one player in the league. Not only that... Wei Guo is very different from other superstars. When Wei Guo gets angry, he really will hit people.
"You were too impulsive!"
Wade had his arm around Alston.
This move protected Alston. Wade thought that since they had shared a drink together, Wei Guo should give him this much face.
......
The Nets inbound the ball from the sideline.
Wei Guo came out to receive the ball, Odom was sticking close to him, and Wei Guo passed the ball to Hill, then got rid of Odom's entanglement.
Hill reacted quickly!
He passed the ball back to Wei Guo, who caught it and shot. Odom was unable to cover in time and hit Wei Guo's arm.
The basketball flew in the air for 1.7 seconds.
"Whoosh!!!"
It went into the basket!
"How the hell can they even get in?"
Odom could hardly believe his eyes; he had already fouled, yet Wei Guo still managed to sink that three-pointer.
"This ball..."
Wei Guo chuckled, "If you hadn't tapped me, you probably wouldn't have been able to get in."
This statement dealt Odom a devastating blow. Perhaps Wei Guo was right; after Odom hit Wei Guo's wrist, he changed the trajectory of the basketball, so if he hadn't fouled, the ball might not have gone in.
Wei Guo stepped up to the free-throw line.
The referee passed the ball to Wei Guo, who dribbled it once and then shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The free throw went in.
Ka Ming noted down the data and muttered, "Brother Wei hasn't managed to get '3+1' in a long time."
When defending against Weiguo's three-pointers, try to engage in physical contact to prevent Weiguo from having a chance to shoot. If you can't block the ball, block the eye. However, defenders are generally careful to avoid fouling as much as possible, since a three-point foul results in three free throws.
Wei Guo's free throw percentage...
If you foul him when he's shooting a three-pointer, you're giving him the three-pointer but also incurring a foul, which isn't worth it!
17:8!!
The Nets lead by 9 points.
......
"Heat calls a timeout!"
......
Van Gundy called another timeout; he needed to make some adjustments to the tactics.
Judging from the results...
Using Alston was not very effective. Wei Guo twice outmaneuvered Alston, causing him to lose his composure. When Alston had the ball again, all he could think about was how to regain his pride from Wei Guo.
"There's only one thing we need to do now!"
Van Gundy said, "It's about putting all your worries aside, attacking, defending, and winning!"
It's quite a coincidence...
Gentry said the same thing. He first criticized Wei Guo for messing with Alston on the court and making Alston lose face as the king of streetball. Then he told the players that they should put aside all their worries and just attack, defend and win!
This match was a tough one.
If the Nets lose, they'll be digging their own grave. The Heat will inevitably gain momentum after winning a game, and the Nets will ultimately be the victors, but each game will be tougher than the last.
......
After the timeout, both teams continued the game with the same belief.
The Heat are on offense.
Wade made an off-ball movement, received a pass from Odom, and took a fadeaway jump shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
17:10!!
This offensive play was very effective, and the Heat scored in double digits.
With only 4 minutes and 39 seconds left in the first quarter, both teams were working hard on both defense and offense, and the Heat also displayed excellent teamwork and ball movement.
......
Gentry glanced at the first quarter score; the Heat were only down by one point.
"They're quite resilient!"
Gentry picked up the tactical board. "We can't underestimate these young lads."
"Wade~~~"
"Wade~~~"
"Wade~~~"
The audience chanted Wade's name.
It's Wade!
In the final four minutes of the first quarter, he scored nine points in a row, including a steal against Wei Guo, leading his team to close the gap to just one point.
From trailing by 9 points to trailing by 1 point...
The audience was already fantasizing that if things continued like this, they could take the lead in the second quarter, widen the gap in the third quarter, and then the fourth quarter would become garbage time, with the Heat winning against the Nets.
Gentry said, "We need to control the pace of the game, don't follow the opponent's lead... Kenyon, your defense should collapse towards the inside!"
"Don't worry about Odom..."
Wei Guo added, "When he moves out of the paint, Hill and I will help defend him. Once you leave the paint, you give the Heat a chance to attack the basket."
These Heat players all have good scoring abilities.
Odom's mid-range and long-range shots are very lethal. Mourning came out of the paint to defend Odom several times, which is why Wade was able to drive into the paint and score repeatedly. Moreover, Wade's scoring ability is really strong, and one or two players cannot stop him from scoring.
......
Today is Saturday, and many fans are watching the live broadcast on China Fortune.
Every fan has different favorite players and supports different teams; even close friends might start arguing while watching a game.
You like Iverson, I like Kobe.
So...
When the 76ers played the Lakers, we each supported our favorite stars, and our brotherhood was temporarily put on hold. We would play together again after the game, win or lose.
Only the Nets and the Rockets.
Because both teams have players from China, the fans are in unison.
A forum compiled the support rates for this game, with the Nets receiving a whopping 97% support. As for the reasons behind the remaining 3% who supported the Heat, it remains unknown.
......
At the start of the second quarter, the Heat substituted Allen and Haslem.
Young players have such good stamina...
Including the first round of the playoffs, Wade, Butler, and Odom all averaged 45+ minutes per game, while no Nets player played more than 40 minutes.
Kenyon averages 37 minutes per game, making him the Nets' longest-serving player.
Wei Guo rested on the sidelines, needing to recover his strength. There was no need to waste a 'stamina rune' on the Heat.
Stockton with the ball...
Kidds ran around the baseline, and when Allen chased after him, he was blocked by Jefferson. Stockton flicked the ball, and it ended up in Kidds' hands.
Kiddles steadied himself and confidently took the shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
25:21!!
This three-pointer helped the Nets extend their lead.
After scoring...
Kiddles pumped his fist and roared, then sprinted back to the court. Scott stood on the sidelines and said coldly, "Don't get cocky, hurry up!"
"oh..."
Kidds sprinted towards the backfield with his head down.
Players like Kiddles, Jefferson, and Collins aren't afraid of Gentry or Weiguo on the Nets; what they fear most is assistant coach Scott.
