The Suns' bench was filled with laughter and cheers.
Nash was surrounded by the crowd, with Wei Guo rubbing Nash's head, while Marion and Stoudemire pushed Nash around.
Cummings wanted to hug Nash and take a bite out of him!
This was Nash's peak performance in his career.
The Mavericks were also quite sensible, after all, it was Nash's former team. Nash left his youth on this team, and even after parting ways, they still looked at each other with fondness. During this timeout, a photo of Nash appeared on the arena's big screen, along with a line of numbers: 30 points and 28 assists.
......
"My God, 28 assists!"
"Approaching the league's single-game assist record..."
"Nash is awesome!"
"That damn Cuban, he let a top star slip away for nothing."
"There's still time. Nash will definitely be able to create a 30-point, 30-assist performance that has never been seen before in history!"
"Witness history!"
......
The audience went wild; they had a deep affection for Nash.
at the same time...
The audience also hoped that Nash could get two more assists.
The outcome of the game was not in much suspense. With 1 minute and 51 seconds left, the Mavericks were still down by 12 points. Facing the Suns, who had the best record in the league and had only lost one game so far in the regular season, it would be too difficult for them to catch up in just over a minute.
After the timeout, the Mavericks' starters remained on the court!
This was a gift from Don Nelson to Nash... He was also worried that after the starters were substituted in the last two minutes, Nash might refuse to play.
Nobody knows what Nash was thinking.
If Wei Guo gets 30 points and 28 assists, even if it means the game goes into overtime, Wei Guo will still have to turn 28 assists into 30 assists, otherwise his obsessive-compulsive disorder will keep him up all night.
The fact that Wei Guo has obsessive-compulsive disorder has long been known to fans and most people in the league.
It's very simple...
Looking at Wei Guo's data, the fact that the numbers 8 or 9 are almost non-existent is enough to explain everything.
......
Nowitzki steals a three-pointer but misses!
Missed shot...
Instead of being disappointed, Nowitzki smiled at Nash and even patted Nash on the butt before running away. Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Nash.
"Pass the ball!"
"Pass the ball!"
"Pass the ball!"
The shouts from the audience were unified.
Even the bench players from the Suns and Mavericks stood up and chanted along with the crowd, "Pass! Pass! Pass!"
Old Nelson grinned!
He had criticized Nash more than once, telling him to drive, shoot, and score, but at this moment... Don Nelson felt the same way as the audience: to hell with scoring, Nash, just pass the ball out there.
Not only do we need to pass the ball out, but we also need to pass it to Wei Guo!
because...
Only Wei Guo can guarantee that Nash's passes will be converted into offense for the Suns.
Wei Guo ran towards the basket from the side, Nash tossed the ball above the rim, and Dampier slipped away instantly... He wasn't willing to become Wei Guo's backdrop.
Aerial relay!
Wei Guo's head was already above the rim, and he grabbed the basketball and delivered a tomahawk dunk!
"Bang!!!"
After scoring, Wei Guo playfully stood still and gave Nash a standard military salute.
29 assists!!!
Nash's passing made the game simple, and Wei Guo's scoring made the game even simpler.
The Mavericks are on offense!
With little time remaining in the game, the Mavericks are getting further and further away from victory.
This time...
Stackhouse hit a three-pointer in transition.
131:119!!
The Mavericks are still down by 12 points with 1 minute and 21 seconds left in the game.
The outcome was already decided, but the Mavericks still didn't give up. They played serious defense, and Johnson received a pass from Nash but missed the shot.
"Harmful..."
A collective sigh rippled through the stands: "Pass the ball to Wei Guo!"
Johnson looked smug, but also a little embarrassed... When he received the pass from Nash, he was nervous and had mixed feelings. If he could make the shot, he would help Nash get his 30th assist of the game. It was a very simple shot, but he missed it.
Fortunately...
Wei Guo grabs the offensive rebound!
Facing Dampier alone under the basket, Wei Guo passed the ball to the outside, where Nash caught it!
"Give it to Brother Wei!!!"
Cummings shouted anxiously, "Nash, you have to be sensible... Even though there's an open three-point opportunity, Wei Guo passing the ball out isn't for Nash to score."
Nash also understood Wei Guo's good intentions.
He tossed the ball over the basket again...
With a light leap, Wei Guo reached a height that Dampier could only reach by using a ladder.
"Bang!!!"
Another alley-oop, Wei Guo scores with a dunk.
133:119!!
The Suns lead by 14 points.
Nash recorded his 30th assist of the game!
The game is paused...
This was Nash's time to celebrate, and the entire audience stood up and chanted, "Nash! Nash! Nash!"
Nash spread his arms wide, basking in the glory that belonged to him.
......
In the final minute, both sides gave up the game.
Nash's stats are now frozen in time!
......
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 61 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 6 blocks
Nash: 30 points, 3 rebounds, 30 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks
Nowitzki: 27 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block
Stackhouse: 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks
......
Wei Guo scored 61 points and 17 rebounds, a stat line that most players can brag about for a lifetime, but the MVP of this game still belongs to Nash.
The data speaks for itself...
Nash had 30 points and 30 assists, meaning that nearly 100 of the Suns' points in this game were directly related to Nash. The Suns' total score was only 133 points, which includes 13 points when Nash was off the court and 15 points from free throws.
Wei Guo scored 61 points, 53 of which came from Nash's assists.
Tonight, the chemistry between Wei Guo and Nash was simply unstoppable, with their despair-inducing alley-oops and the league's best off-ball movement.
For Nash, this was a classic 'grassroots' comeback story, a satisfying slap in the face to his former boss... He actually did it, and even enjoyed the applause of his former teammates, coach, and former team.
......
The Suns were partying all night.
1 a.m....
Lying on the soft, large bed in the hotel, Wei Guo looked at the information Britney had sent him.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease, is caused by damage to the upper and lower motor neurons, leading to gradual weakness and atrophy of the muscles in the limbs, trunk, chest, and abdomen, which may eventually lead to respiratory failure. It can be said that... there is currently no good treatment plan for this disease internationally.
"I'm so damn stupid..."
Wei Guo rolled over in frustration; his block nearly injured the fan who suffered from ALS.
