There really is a show?
The SuperSonics players paused, and after receiving affirmation from their head coach, they all returned to the bench.
Going back to the locker room is no different from sitting on the bench. Although the SuperSonics are behind, it is difficult to devise a brilliant tactic in just the ten or so minutes of halftime.
It would be better to...
Let's see what Wei Guo is up to.
It would be a shame to miss a great show, especially since they were there in person. If the show was good, we should applaud.
Unable to stand, Wei Guo knelt beside the wheelchair and embraced the fan. "He is my fan, a patient with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). ALS is a motor neuron disease in which all the nerves controlling movement in the patient's body undergo unexplained degeneration and necrosis. When all the motor cells die, the nerves and muscles they control will atrophy and become weak, causing the person to be unable to move or even breathe."
There is no perfect treatment for ALS in the world yet. I heard that there are four to five ALS patients for every 100,000 people.
Despite suffering from ALS, he still loves basketball and is full of hope for life.
I want to draw global attention to this special group, so today I'm launching a challenge... I've named this challenge the Ice Bucket Challenge. The rules are simple: challengers pour a bucket of ice water over themselves, post the video online, and invite three friends to take the challenge. The invited friends need to respond within 24 hours.
To accept the challenge or to give up...
If you give up the challenge, you'll have to spend 1000 Chinese yuan to fight ALS.
This is a challenge that can be considered a public service, especially since there is a fan next to Wei Guo who suffers from ALS.
Having said all that...
Staff members pushed the fans to the sidelines and brought over a ladder. Someone carried a large ice bucket and climbed up the ladder.
It's January now, and the weather is cold.
If it were summer, this challenge would be easier. Wei Guo's idea is to achieve success across the board and ideally continue this challenge into the summer.
"Splash..."
A large bucket of ice water was poured over Wei Guo.
"Holy crap!"
Wei Guo couldn't help but shiver; it was damn cold.
Tears welled up in the fans' eyes. This is what a true idol is like. At this moment, his heart was very firm. As long as he lived, he would always be a die-hard fan of the country.
"Defend the country!"
"Defend the country!"
"Defend the country!"
The audience was moved and chanted Wei Guo's name.
The staff immediately handed Wei Guo a thick towel to drape over his body. Wei Guo held the microphone, his voice trembling slightly, "The three friends I invited are Kobe... LeBron James... Jay Chou... and I will also donate 1,000 Chinese yuan to fight ALS!"
The challenge can be done together: take the Ice Bucket Challenge and donate to fight ALS.
With Wei Guo's financial resources, donating ten million wouldn't be a big deal, but he couldn't break the rules first, so he only donated 1,000 Chinese yuan. Only in this way could the challenges blossom in multiple directions.
It's like low profit margins and high sales volume...
Wei Guo was the initiator of the Ice Bucket Challenge. He donated millions after the challenge ended, so Kobe, who was invited by him, couldn't be left out. But what about the others?
Wei Guo only invited three people. Jay Chou is a top-level player of Chinese football and a Wei Guo fan. The two have a good relationship.
This challenge shouldn't be limited to the sports world; penetrating the entertainment industry would increase its influence even more. Originally, they were thinking of inviting Britney Spears, given her star power... but the bucket of ice water poured on him just now made Wei Guo instantly abandon that idea.
This is so damn bad...
Wei Guo couldn't bear to let Britney suffer like that.
......
When Wei Guo came out of the locker room, the water on the field had already been wiped dry.
The second half of the game begins...
Wei Guo, who only scored 11 points in the first half, needs to step up his game in the second half. If he fails to score 40+ points tonight, he will definitely be mocked by Kobe.
Supersonics on the attack!
Ray Allen received a pass from his teammate, took two steps back to the three-point line, and shot.
"bang~~~"
It's time to strike.
Ray Allen slapped the back of his hand in frustration. He had a terrible shooting night; if he had been on fire, the SuperSonics wouldn't have fallen behind.
Nash faces the basket on offense!
Ridnour stayed close behind Nash to disrupt his shot, and after squeezing under the basket, Nash faced Jerome and took a fadeaway jump shot with a very large backward lean... Nash's body was almost parallel to the floor.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
63:55!!
Nash played that shot very aggressively.
Lewis was getting a little anxious. He received a pass from his teammate outside the three-point line and took a shot over Wei Guo.
The shot arc is very high...
Although he wasn't blocked by Wei Guo, he lost his aim and, after a layup... Marion easily secured the rebound.
Wei Guo charged forward.
Nash took the basketball from Marion and made a long pass to Wei Guo.
Facing an empty frontcourt, Wei Guo pulled up and launched a three-pointer!
The entire alliance...
Only Wei Guo could do this without being scolded by the head coach. If other players gave up a sure two points to take a risky three-pointer, they would be torn to shreds by the head coach.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
Wei Guo turned around gracefully, bumping into Ray Allen who was chasing after him.
"This..."
Wei Guo chuckled and said, "That's what you call a three-pointer."
There are many three-point shooting masters in the league, such as Bird, Kerr, Hornacek, Miller... Ray Allen's textbook three-point shooting is no less impressive among these players.
only...
Ray Allen was provoked by Wei Guo tonight.
......
With the game in the fourth quarter, the Suns were leading by 16 points.
Wei Guo scored 19 points in the third quarter, shooting 7 of 9. It seems that being doused with ice water did not affect Wei Guo's shooting touch at all. If he can score another 10 points in the fourth quarter, Wei Guo will continue his record of 40+ points in a single game.
"The Suns are too strong..."
Young Radmanovic said dejectedly, "We had absolutely no chance to fight back."
"Don't boost others' morale and diminish our own; we still have a chance."
"Yes!"
Ray Allen wiped the sweat from his face. "It's only 16 points. I just need to make six three-pointers to catch up."
Radmanovic pursed his lips, not daring to reply. If Ray Allen weren't the team's leader... he would definitely throw the stat sheet in Ray Allen's face. Ray Allen made 2 of 11 three-point attempts in the first three quarters, taking up a lot of shot attempts but not making many baskets.
