The cheerleaders danced wonderfully and performed with great enthusiasm.
Wei Guo discovered...
The cheerleading girls have changed quite a bit; I wonder if the previous girls have changed careers.
......
The second half has begun!
63:50!!
The Suns lead by 13 points.
Trailing by 9 points in the first quarter, the Suns led by 13 points at halftime, meaning they outscored the Spurs by 22 points in the second quarter.
Suns on offense!
Nash directed his teammates to move and passed the ball to Hill. Hill's goal was simply to draw Bowen's defense, allowing O'Neal to create an opportunity for a one-on-one opportunity under the basket. Hill understood Nash's intention and passed the ball to O'Neal without even dribbling after receiving it.
O'Neal receives the ball and backs down Oberto!
Oberto was quite straightforward; knowing he couldn't defend against him, he simply grabbed O'Neal and raised his hand to signal to the referee that he had fouled.
O'Neal was completely stunned... The foul came so suddenly?
If Wei Guo were still with the Suns, he would remind O'Neal during halftime that the Spurs would use the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy in the second half, so that O'Neal would be mentally prepared.
O'Neal walks to the free-throw line...
D'Antoni couldn't help but feel nervous. If O'Neal missed both free throws, the Spurs would have found a way to deal with the Suns. Constantly using the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy would inevitably weaken the Suns' offensive power in half-court sets. However, if O'Neal made both free throws, Popovich would definitely be wary and wouldn't dare to use the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy easily.
"Whoosh!!!"
The first free throw is made!
Popovich's face fell, and D'Antoni breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whoosh!!!"
Second free throw made!
65:50!!
The Suns are leading by 15 points.
......
Wei Guo stood up and said to Kobe and the other two, "Let's go... back to Los Angeles to meet the Suns."
"Not watching anymore?"
Kobe looked puzzled. The second half had only just begun, so how could Wei Guo be so sure that the Spurs wouldn't make a comeback?
Only leading by 15 points...
There are countless examples of teams that have been up by 20 points at halftime but have been overturned!
Leaving aside others, take the Lakers this season for example. In the game against the Hawks, Joe Johnson was on fire, and the Lakers were down by more than 20 points at one point. Just when everyone thought the Lakers' winning streak was about to end, Wei Guo stepped up to defend Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson, who scored 27 points in the first half, only scored 5 points in the second half.
final...
The Lakers pulled off a comeback after trailing by more than twenty points!
The Spurs and Suns weren't that far apart in strength, but 15 points... it wasn't hopeless to come back. Wei Guo insisted on leaving, and Kobe and the other two had no choice but to leave as well, which disappointed the fans. They really wanted Wei Guo to be with them to witness the Suns advance to the Western Conference Finals!
The four from Wei State came in a private plane, so naturally they would return in a private plane as well!
On the plane...
Wei Guo also lamented that if you're going to ride in a helicopter, you should ride in a private plane, not some kind of helicopter. He said that helicopters in the US are all junk and very unsafe. Kobe and Gentry agreed wholeheartedly and assured Wei Guo that they would never ride in a helicopter.
......
Before the plane took off, Weiguo received a text message.
As expected...
The Suns defeated the Spurs 121-99, eliminating the Spurs 4-2 in the series and advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
Gentry was also curious and couldn't help but ask, "I guessed the Suns would win, but are we really in such a hurry to go back?"
Even private jets are subject to air traffic control for takeoff time. This means that whether they come to the airport after watching the game or arrive early, it will not affect the takeoff time. Arriving early will only make them wait an extra hour. Why not use that extra hour to watch the game and enjoy the joy of victory with the Suns?
Wei Guo finally gave his answer...
After being provoked by Cummings and Kobe, O'Neal's anger level reached its peak, and he unleashed his full power!
This is the kind of O'Neal who deserves the title of the league's best center. Wei Guo hopes that O'Neal can maintain this level of anger... This guy isn't petty. After winning the game, he'll definitely want to show off in front of Kobe and Cummings. Give him a chance to show off, and his anger will quickly dissipate. He'll turn back into the old O'Neal.
The goal of defending the country is to keep O'Neal angry... to add some fun to the Western Conference Finals.
certainly!
Another major reason for leaving early was that D'Antoni texted Wei Guo during halftime, begging him to take Kobe and Cummings away early. When the Suns won the game and O'Neal wanted to gloat, he couldn't find Kobe and Cummings, so he fanned the flames and stirred things up.
Let O'Neal maintain this form...
Shaquille O'Neal racked up 37 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 5 blocks tonight, putting up peak-level numbers.
......
Three days later, the Suns arrived in Los Angeles!
O'Neal's biggest enemy wasn't Kobe, but Cummings. Cummings' U60 league deeply hurt O'Neal, and as soon as he saw Cummings, O'Neal rushed over!
Cummings was so frightened that he hid behind Wei Guo...
“Shakel…”
Wei Guo stopped O'Neal, saying, "Let's talk this out!"
O'Neal shouted, "I'm going to tell this little brat that I scored 37 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks in the last game!"
Wei Guo said helplessly, "Why are you picking on a benchwarmer?"
"That's amazing..."
Cummings hid behind Wei Guo and made a face, "Wei-ge is too embarrassed to tell others about this kind of data."
It really is...
37 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks—these are impressive stats, and Wei Guo has achieved them countless times.
O'Neal just wanted to show off a little. These kinds of stats... even two years ago, he wouldn't have boasted about them. It's just that you can hardly see these kinds of stats anymore in the last two years. He didn't expect Cummings to shut him down with one sentence. The anger he had been burning for three days was back to full. As long as Cummings dared to play, he would definitely dunk on Cummings.
D'Antoni nodded excitedly...
It has to be Cummings, he never lets you down. He helped O'Neal get back into form in no time. This game looks promising!
Despite his anger, O'Neal was filled with emotion upon returning to Los Angeles... He won his first championship trophy here. The O'K duo was so invincible back then. If it weren't for Wei Guo's emergence, perhaps he could have teamed up with Kobe to win three consecutive championships and create the Lakers dynasty!
