Gentry sat on the bench, while Scott stood on the sidelines.
It's hard to tell which of the two is the team's head coach, but they share the same goal: to win this game.
As we watch...
The Pistons had caught up, and the two men's eyes never left Wei Guo!
At this point, they could only rely on Wei Guo, but the Pistons' defense against Wei Guo was almost flawless, making it difficult for him to even receive the ball!
"Shoot as soon as you get the ball!"
Wei Guo instructed Cummings, "Don't think about passing the ball to me, I'll go for the rebounds!"
This gives Cummings unlimited firing rights!
What else is there to say...?
Cummings is the point guard, and Billups always guards him. This time, Cummings dribbled across the frontcourt and shot when he was still a step away from the three-point line!
"A benchwarmer dares to shoot like that?!"
Billups snorted coldly, his expression full of disdain for Cummings.
"bang~~~"
The ball hit the back of the rim and bounced far away!
Billups scoffed, "Even your girlfriend wouldn't make such an absurd three-pointer!"
"I don't have a girlfriend..."
Cummings retorted, "If your girlfriend is a good shooter, why don't you lend her to me to practice ball handling!"
"Fuck!!!"
"Oh..."
Cummings shrugged and quickly ran back to the backcourt!
Although he missed the three-pointer, Wei Guo grabbed the offensive rebound and scored!
NBA players love to trash talk, and some of it involves personal attacks. Billups saw that Cummings was just a benchwarmer, yet he dared to shoot confidently under Billups' defense, so he couldn't help but trash talk him. But he didn't expect... Cummings would actually dare to retaliate!
Pistons on offense!
Enraged, Billups overpowered Cummings, using his body to push out the middle of the shot, and then took a mid-range shot!
*Smack!!!*
Jefferson blocked Billups from the side.
Wei Dong, holding the ball, shouted, "Run!!!"
Five Nets players quickly ran up the court, protecting Wei Dong as he scored a fast break layup!
Gentry asked curiously, "What did Cummings just say? He seemed to have angered Billups... Will Brown call a timeout?"
The Pistons are on the offensive again!
Billups ignored Anthony and continued to isolate Cummings, saying, "Your defense is too soft!"
"As soft as your girlfriend?"
Cummings didn't say this aloud; he was a civilized man, and one instance of trash talk was enough.
"bang~~~"
Billups missed his shot, and Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound!
......
"Pistons request a timeout!"
Brown called a timeout!
"What's wrong with you? You didn't pass the ball on two consecutive attacks!"
"I think I can beat that benchwarmer one-on-one!"
You're wrong...
Brown advised, "Cummings isn't as weak as you think; it's just that he doesn't need to play most of the time."
Brown coached Cummings, who was always the first to arrive at the arena. He had mediocre talent but trained harder than anyone else. The idea that Cummings was a benchwarmer was just a misunderstanding.
Billups couldn't understand...
If Cummings is so talented, why doesn't he get a chance to play?
......
Iverson sat in the front row, very close to the Nets' bench. "Wei-ge, I made a bet with Francis about how many points you guys can win tonight."
"oh?"
Wei Guo turned around and asked, "How many points are you betting?"
"10-20 points!"
Where is Boss Francis?
"Within 10 minutes!"
How much to bet?
"One hundred thousand dollars!"
"This bet is quite interesting..."
Wei Guo smiled and said, "If you both lose, give me the money."
Wei Dong clicked his tongue inwardly as he listened. Everyone said that league players were gamblers, and it was true... A casual bet was worth $100,000. If they bet on an upset in the World Cup and won, they would be millionaires.
To put it bluntly...
Neither Francis nor Iverson believed the Nets would lose.
......
The timeout has ended, and both sides have substituted their starting players!
Cummings returned to the bench...
He played for five minutes and didn't score, but he angered Billups and caused the Pistons to miss two attacks. Billups was furious when he saw Cummings go back to the bench!
39:35!!
The Nets still lead by 4 points.
Wei Guo stretched his wrists; his teammates were all great, now it was his turn to shine.
Pistons on offense!
Ben Wallace takes a shot under the basket; this is a great scoring opportunity!
But...
The ball flew over the rim in an incredibly absurd way and landed in Mourning's hands.
On the basketball court, this kind of shot by Ben Wallace is commonly known as a "bridge shot," which means that when shooting from the low post, the ball flies over the top of the rim to the other side due to excessive force. Bridge shots are common on amateur courts, but in professional leagues, especially top-level basketball leagues like the NBA, it is quite absurd for a bridge shot to occur.
Mourning didn't mock Ben Wallace; his teammates were already running up the pitch!
There wasn't a single defender around Jefferson. Mourning passed the ball to Jefferson, and, worried that Jefferson wouldn't see it, called out, "Jefferson, catch!"
Jefferson catches the basketball!
Wei Guo shook off Rasheed's defenses and moved towards the three-point line. Jefferson seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Wei Guo again.
Wei Guo caught the ball, flicked his wrist, and sent Rashid flying!
The basketball landed...
Wei Guo blew past Rashid in one step and launched a mid-range pull-up jumper!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball swished through the net!
41:35!!
After scoring, Wei Guo glanced at Brown standing on the sidelines. With just one look, Brown realized that Wei Guo was going to take control of the game!
Offense and defense reversed!
The Nets had already set up their defense, and the Pistons completed their offensive possession with 21 seconds left, but Hamilton missed his shot!
Big Ben and Rashid simultaneously blocked the defense of the country!
However, when Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, Wei Guo slapped the ball up and into the air, easily getting the ball back!
"How is this possible?!"
The Pistons' bench players jumped up instantly!
How strong is Ben Wallace? He's the king of bench press in the league... even Shaquille O'Neal can't match him, yet the basketball that Ben Wallace was holding with both hands was slapped away by Wei Guo with one hand!
This basketball is of very good quality...
If the quality isn't good, with Wei Guo and Da Ben's strength, they could probably crush the basketball, right?
Wei Guo received the ball and launched a fast break, getting past Hamilton and Billups in succession. He jumped with his feet on the free-throw line, grabbed the basketball with one hand, pulled it up twice in the air, and then flicked it with his wrist!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the hoop!
Iverson and Francis jumped up excitedly, shouting, "Great shot!!!"
From defense to offense, everything was done by Wei Guo alone!
Wei Guo's layup was so graceful. What kind of hand skills and core strength can support a player to make such an elegant layup?
