29 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists!
Cummings stared blankly at the technical statistics table in his hand.
Tonight's game was incredibly intense!
Every player was playing with a vengeance, and even during the final timeout, Cummings wouldn't remind Wei Guo that he was just one rebound away from a triple-double.
If he really said that...
Brown wouldn't say anything to Wei Guo, but he could verbally abuse him. Moreover, Wei Guo was just one rebound short in the final moments, but two, which was the main reason why Cummings didn't remind Wei Guo.
In the final moments of the game, Wei Guo grabbed a defensive rebound, and the 76ers gave up on offense.
As a result, 8 rebounds became 9 rebounds.
A triple double but not a triple double...
Wei Guo never cared about this, but 9 rebounds was unbearable for him because he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fortunately, Wei Guo doesn't check the news or statistics the day after the game, he only glances at them at the time of the game. So Cummings didn't hesitate and crossed out 9 rebounds and changed it to 10 rebounds.
......
After the game, Wei Guo wanted to say hello to the Celtics players.
Their fighting spirit tonight...
They earned the respect of the nation.
However, when Wei Guo approached, he found Walker crying, and Batty and Williams also had tears in their eyes.
"What's going on?"
Wei Guo muttered to himself, "It's just a game we lost, not a series, why are they crying like this?"
Can...
At this time, the State of Wei should not approach; doing so would be asking for trouble.
"I'm sorry, sir."
Walker stood in front of Russell and said, "We couldn't win this game."
Russell stood up. "Guys, you played great tonight. Even though we lost, I hope you can maintain this momentum. That's the Celtics spirit."
"The next match!"
Walker said decisively, "We must win!"
......
Wei Guo returned to the locker room and took the technical statistics sheet from Cummings.
29 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists?
Wei Guo glanced at it, then threw away the technical statistics table, muttering to himself, "Not bad."
"Phew~~~"
Cummings breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that if Wei Guo saw 9 rebounds, 9 assists, or even 9 blocks, Wei Guo would be so excited that he wouldn't be able to sleep all night. So his decision was right; getting Wei Guo a good night's sleep was more important than anything else.
Several years later...
Wei Guo had no idea that he had inexplicably missed out on a triple-double.
Wei Guo was also relieved that he hadn't gone to see Britney yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been late at night by the time Britney's concert ended, and if the two of them had another fierce battle, Wei Guo didn't know if he would still have the energy to play when he arrived at the stadium in the afternoon. If that happened, he might have had to waste two runes.
Wasting runes is a minor issue; the real problem is if we lose the game and this gets brought up again!
Wei Guo will be torn apart by the fans...
Flying to Los Angeles to meet his girlfriend during the playoffs, which led to a loss in the game, hardly qualifies him as a competent player.
......
Two days later, the 76ers flew to Boston.
They will start their third match of the second round away from home.
Starting lineup for this match:
76ers: Wei Guo, Iverson, Harpring, Coleman, Mutombo
Celtics: Anderson, Pierce, Williams, Walker, Battier
Continuing his playing style from the crucial moments of the previous game, Wei Guo returned to the point guard position.
......
After two days of challenges, the Celtics returned to their home court and immediately put immense pressure on the 76ers.
Go Celtics!
Go Celtics!
Go Celtics!
The cheers of the home fans never stopped.
The 76ers got off to a bad start, missing several shots, while the Celtics became more determined on offense.
Anderson hit two consecutive three-pointers.
Before the first quarter was even over, the 76ers were already down by 10 points.
Brown changed his tactics...
Wei Guo and Iverson took turns attacking the Celtics' basket, but they couldn't close the gap against the Celtics' team-oriented style of play.
Sir Alex Russell sat on the sidelines, looking relieved.
These guys played really well...
The game went all the way into the fourth quarter, and the 76ers were already down by 17 points.
"Don't let your attack become chaotic."
Coach Thompson stood in front of the players and said, "The fourth quarter is all about stamina and willpower. If we reduce turnovers and play well together, we can still catch up."
......
At the start of the fourth quarter, both Iverson and Weiguo were resting on the bench.
Especially at times like these...
The more we need to conserve the energy of Wei Guo and Iverson, the better. If the substitutes can keep the score close within three minutes or bring it within 15 points, then Wei Guo and Iverson can come back on the court, and the team's chances of winning will be much greater.
Contrary to expectations, the score difference widened to 20 points in just three minutes.
Wei Guo and Iverson got up at the same time and walked towards the scorer's table.
Even with only 8 minutes left and trailing by 20 points, Wei Guo and Iverson did not want to give up.
Back on the field...
Iverson drove to the basket and made a layup over Battier.
*Smack!!!*
"Beep!!!"
Battier's defensive move was too aggressive, and Iverson missed his layup and fell to the ground.
Coach Thompson sighed, "He doesn't need to play like this... Last season, he was the only main offensive option for the team, but now we have Wei Guo."
When Iverson drove to the basket, Wei Guo cut around the baseline and found himself open in the three-point corner. If Iverson had passed the ball directly to Wei Guo, Wei Guo would have had a very high chance of hitting the open three-pointer.
certainly...
Coach Thompson simply felt sorry for Iverson and did not blame him for his offensive choices.
Although Iverson failed to score, he drew a foul from Battier, earning two free throw opportunities. Iverson went to the free throw line.
"Whoosh!!!"
The first free throw was made.
Iverson adjusted his position and took the second free throw. He didn't feel right when he released the ball. While the ball was still in the air, Iverson rushed towards the basket.
"bang~~~"
Sure enough, the basketball hit the rim.
Walker and Battier were both vying for position under the basket, but Wei Guo had already anticipated the ball's landing.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo took a step to the side and jumped, dunking the ball over Walker into the basket.
91:74!!
The 76ers are still down by 17 points.
