Wei Guo dominated the field, striking fear into the hearts of his opponents.
In real life, she is also a kind-hearted person...
That's why he used his off-season to donate and build Hope Primary Schools, and he also participated in variety shows to encourage Chinese people to exercise more.
This fan really touched Wei Guo's heart!
What moved Wei Guo even more was when he smiled and said, "I am your fan." He was a person suffering from ALS, yet he loved life and was full of hope for it!
We really should do something about this...
Wei Guo had been searching for information about ALS for the past two days. He had an idea in his mind, and after it came to him, he discussed it with Britney. Britney strongly agreed with Wei Guo and was willing to be one of the first challengers.
......
Two days later, the Suns returned to their home court.
The opponent in this game is the SuperSonics, a strong team in the West. This team has a better record than the Mavericks and ranks third in the West, behind only the Suns and Spurs.
and...
This team has two three-point specialists, Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis.
Some fans may not be familiar with this team. A few years later, the team changed owners, moved to a different city, and was renamed the Thunder.
A special fan attended the game.
It was that fan suffering from ALS. Wei Guo had two strong impressions of this fan: one was the fan's physical condition, and the other was that the fan was wearing Wei Guo's jersey at the Mavericks' home game. This was a die-hard fan. Wei Guo arranged for a private plane to pick him up from Dallas.
This trivial matter was sensationalized by the news media...
Even before the match started, the live broadcast camera repeatedly focused on this fan.
Starting lineup for this match:
Suns: Nash, Johnson, Richardson, Marion, Stoudemire
SuperSonics: Ridnour, Ray Allen, Lewis, Evans, Jerome
Jerome is a 2.13-meter tall center, very tall... only 3 centimeters shorter than Wei Guo. When they stand together, you can't even tell the height difference. This big guy plays nearly 20 minutes a game, but can only grab three rebounds. He is a fringe player with average offense and defense.
The SuperSonics still need to rely on Ray Allen and Lewis.
There wasn't much pre-match preparation!
"Beep!!!"
The whistle blows, the game begins!
Stoudemire won the jump ball, Nash dribbled past midfield and made a long pass, Johnson mishandled the ball, and Ridnour intercepted it.
After the last game, Wei Guo joked that Nash had played a game that would shorten his lifespan, and that one game would use up half of his luck in the regular season. He also asked Nash with a smile if he would make a series of mistakes in the next game.
Wei Guo was a shameful prophet...
Whatever he says always comes true, even though his teammates privately complain that he's a jinx.
Nash made a mistake on his very first pass.
Instead of looking for the cause within himself, he glared fiercely at Wei Guo, "Brother, you have a really sharp tongue..."
Ridnour broke through and passed the ball to Lewis, who received it in the three-point corner. Lewis then made a wide pass and sent the ball to Ray Allen on the opposite corner. Ray Allen blew Johnson away, drove to the basket, and leaped high!
"Bang!!!"
Ray Allen slams a dunk over Marion and scores!
Ray Allen's gentlemanly image has deceived so many people... In reality, he was also a powerful dunker.
2-0!!!
The Supersonics scored first.
Both teams are offensively driven. The Suns averaged 113 points per game, ranking first in the league, while the SuperSonics averaged 106 points per game, ranking second in the league. If we look at this more than ten years later... such an average score would not be considered high, but in the 2004-05 season, an average of 106 points per game was an astonishing score.
The Suns are on offense.
Johnson and Richardson made cross-cutting runs to draw away the defenders, and Marion took the opportunity to slip between the two to the basket.
Ridnour is sticking to Nash...
Nash flicked his wrist and delivered a bounce pass; the basketball slipped through Ridnour's legs and into Marion's hands.
"Whoosh!!!"
Marion received the ball and scored an easy layup.
Wei Guo doesn't like this scoring method. If it were Wei Guo, he would definitely score with a powerful dunk if it were such a good pass.
......
They attacked very quickly, and their accuracy was quite good at the start.
Wei Guo wasn't in a hurry to make his appearance...
He had a performance during halftime; Wei Guo didn't want to sweat too much in the first half.
The first quarter lasted 7 minutes.
Normally, the head coach would also make adjustments to the players and arrange for substitute players to come on.
Wei Guo finally stepped onto the technical table!
The audience was instantly excited... After spending so much money on tickets, who didn't come for the star players? No matter how exciting the game was, the fans would still feel disappointed if Wei Guo didn't play.
"Wei Guo... makes his appearance!"
The DJ yelled loudly.
The audience responded, "MVP! MVP! MVP!"
After the game against the Mavericks, the MVP rankings were updated, and Wei Guo quietly climbed to fourth place, with only Nash, O'Neal, and Nowitzki ahead of him.
Not just the MVP rankings...
With increased playing time, Wei Guo's average blocks rose to 3.7, ranking first in the blocking list... his average points rose to 31.7, ranking second in the scoring list... his average rebounds rose to 11.7, ranking fifth in the rebounding list... These are season averages, only considering the last ten games, Wei Guo ranks first in the league in points, rebounds, and blocks.
Nash has returned to the bench.
As Wei Guo said, Nash's performance in this game was mediocre, and his teammates were also not up to par... In seven minutes, Nash only scored 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks.
“Brother Nash…”
Cummings, sitting behind Nash, teased, "You're not lasting enough."
Nash: (＃￣～￣＃)
Not being able to last long is just a problem, and a man can't say he's no good... But Nash really couldn't get into the game for a long time.
This is also the difference between Nash and Wei Guo.
Cummings told his teammates a story about the Rockets' playoff series against the Spurs. Wei Guo scored 50+ points in four consecutive games, but in the fifth game... Wei Guo's physical strength was fine, but his mental strength couldn't hold up.
It is very difficult for any player to maintain a consistent burst of performance.
The scoring duel between Wei Guo and Kobe is also nearing its end. Kobe's scores in his last four games are 40, 43, 41, and 40... He is already struggling.
Wei Guo is much better; he scored 61 points in the last game. After all, scoring is something Wei Guo knows very well. During his season with the Rockets, he averaged over 50 points per game, so Wei Guo's consecutive 40+ point games are a clear game-changer.
