Marion and Stoudemire don't need to worry about the attack.
The two players positioned themselves well, creating space for Wei Guo and Nash. The rest was up to Nash and Wei Guo.
It can be said that...
The Suns are a team with Nash and Weiguo as their core players.
After returning to the court, Nash received the ball beyond the three-point line. Wei Guo set a high screen, Nash stepped back, turned, and created shooting space before taking a three-point shot!
That shot was a bit off!
Wei Guo immediately moved to position himself under the basket, and Marion then blocked Nowitzki.
The basketball bounced off the rim at a good angle, remaining directly above it. As it fell, it bounced off the rim again, this time at a very low height.
Wei Guo turned back to defend...
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the basket behind Wei Guo.
52:51!!
The Suns took the lead.
Dampier walked to the baseline to inbound the ball. The Mavericks quickly positioned themselves, with Marion positioned in front of Nowitzki, and Terry passed the ball to Dampier.
Inside line...
The player defending Dampier is Wei Guo.
This was the Mavericks' home court, and the fans were very confused. What was the purpose of Terry's pass? Was it to let Dampier go one-on-one against Weiguo? The Suns players reacted quickly and immediately blocked Dampier's passing lane, forcing Dampier to go one-on-one against Weiguo.
Dampier was heartbroken.
With his abilities, the success rate of him going one-on-one against Wei Guo is too low... You can't force someone to do something like this, and then Wei Guo mocked him, saying, "Doesn't the second-best center in the West even have the courage to attack?"
Dampier's offensive tactics were very crude.
Dampier's footwork in the paint was not agile enough, and his face-up floater and hook shot were not very good. Facing Wei Guo's defense, Dampier could only hold off Wei Guo, take two big steps to the basket, and force a layup!
This is a hot pot delivered to your door, even the dipping sauce is already prepared.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo slapped the ball away.
Richardson gets the ball, Nash sprints forward, receives a pass from Richardson, and breaks through... Terry and Finley chase after him, and facing their blockade, Nash switches the ball to his left hand and tosses it behind his head.
Wei Guo, who had caught up, received the basketball and took a mid-range shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
54:51!!
After their starters came on, the Suns took the lead.
but...
The Mavericks were no pushovers either. Marion's all-out defense limited Nowitzki, but Richardson was completely outplayed by Finley.
Finley's jumping ability and strength are outstanding, and he often completes dunks and layups in the paint. Because Wei Guo guards the paint, Finley can only give up his inside offense and constantly rely on outside shooting to score. Fortunately... Finley had a good shooting touch in the first half, and the young Richardson also lacked defensive experience.
......
The first half ended with the score tied.
63:63!!
The Mavericks are not as strong as the Suns overall. Marion's defense against Nowitzki was also very successful. Dampier was not scored a single point by Wei Guo in the first half. On the contrary, Wei Guo scored 27 points over Dampier.
However...
Finley and Terry were in really good form tonight, as was veteran Stackhouse, who played 16 minutes in the first half and scored 13 points.
Don Nelson is very familiar with Nash's playing style, but he can't devise a strategy specifically for Nash because the Suns' absolute core is Wei Guo. If Wei Guo can't be contained, the Mavericks will have a hard time winning the game, and the second half will be even more difficult than the first half.
Nash sighed in the away game's locker room.
This guy isn't good at expressing his emotions, and his melancholic demeanor is quite unusual. It all started last summer when Nash, whose contract was expiring, was eager to re-sign with the Mavericks.
But...
The Mavericks felt that Nash was already 30 years old and had more and more injuries... The Mavericks were unwilling to bet their future on an older player with many injuries whose performance would only get worse in the future. In fact, Nash did not want to leave the Mavericks. He had no conflicts with the players. Don Nelson, Dirk Nowitzki and Nash had a good personal relationship.
The only problem was that the Mavericks only offered him a salary of over eight million a year, which Nash couldn't accept.
final...
The Suns pulled off a surprise and snatched Nash away.
The Suns originally planned to build the team around Stoudemire. Although he was only a third-year rookie, Stoudemire already showed the potential to become a superstar. However, good fortune came too suddenly... After Nash transferred to the Suns, the team was acquired by a mysterious Chinese tycoon, and then they welcomed the league's number one player, Wei Guo.
......
The two teams that receive the most attention in the league are the Suns and the Lakers.
It's like...
Just like when someone is about to break the all-time scoring record, their game will be watched by the whole world.
The scoring duel between Wei Guo and Kobe continues, and fans are eager to see who will end the battle first. Wei Guo scored 27 points in the first half, and if he adds another 13 points in the second half, he will surpass 40 points.
Since the scoring duel, Wei Guo has been climbing higher and higher on the MVP list, and he has surpassed Wade to rank eighth on the MVP list.
This list:
1. Nash
2. Shaquille O'Neal
3. Nowitzki
4. Duncan
5. Allen Iverson
6. James
7. Tracy McGrady
8. Defend the country
9. Dwyane Wade
10. Kobe
Due to his team's performance, Kobe Bryant is only ranked 10th on this list.
certainly...
This list changes every week, with some players rising and others falling. Wei Guo is the first player to enter the top ten of the MVP list as a substitute. Originally planning to tank in the season, Wei Guo was forced into the MVP list by Kobe.
Given the current situation...
Wei Guo's ranking will rise further, and he may even overtake Nash to become the top MVP.
If Wei Guo wins the regular season MVP again this season, he will be a four-time regular season MVP, a feat that is truly unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
......
The cheerleaders left the field reluctantly, and the players returned to the field.
The second half has begun!
The Mavericks were on offense. Terry broke through Nash's right side, and Nash turned to chase and defend.
*Smack!!!*
Terry's layup attempt was blocked by Wei Guo, who came out from the side.
The basketball flew towards the stands...
This is perfectly normal; during a game, the basketball will fly into the stands seven or eight times.
Sometimes players will dive to save the ball. Like Wei Guo's block, the ball flew too high to be recovered. Richardson, who was closest to the ball, gave up and just waited for the audience to catch the ball before the Mavericks inbounded it again.
This time it's different!
Before the basketball even landed in the stands, someone gasped, "Ah!!!"
It was as if a cannonball had flown past instead of a basketball; the fastest to react were not the two players closest to the ball, nor the security guards on the sidelines.
After blocking Terry's shot, Wei Guo noticed that the basketball was going in the wrong direction!
If the basketball is allowed to fall, it will hit a spectator on the sidelines, a skeletal spectator sitting in a wheelchair with his head drooping. This spectator is too special; the basketball must not be allowed to hit him.
