"Brother Wei is right!"
Gentry nodded and asked, "What about your defense just now?"
Several players lowered their heads.
Wei Guo said, "It has nothing to do with talent or skills, I just want to see everyone's defensive attitude!"
For victory...
Wei Guo can do the hard and tiring work, but his teammates should also show him respect!
......
Popovich was also wondering why Wei Guo called a timeout.
Pause ended!
Rockets on offense!
Mobley dribbled the ball up the court and found Wei Guo, while Duncan moved up to defend Wei Guo.
Change direction without slowing down!
Wei Guo broke through Duncan's right side, and Duncan quickly stepped back to stick to Wei Guo. However, Wei Guo dribbled behind his back, touched the ground with his toes, and stepped back to the three-point line!
This move is extremely difficult. Wei Guo accelerated and then stopped abruptly, followed by a step back. Duncan stumbled and was almost knocked over by Wei Guo!
A wide-open three-pointer!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
60:54!!
The Rockets still lead by 6 points.
Silence...
How can there be such a tall guy with such good dribbling skills and such accurate three-point shooting?
Popovich tapped his fingers on the whiteboard. Who could defend Wei Guo in a one-on-one situation?
Duncan's disadvantage was that he rarely matched up against perimeter players and lacked experience in defending them. He also faced a perimeter player like Wei Guo, who had excellent ball-handling skills. However, if Parker and Ginobili were to defend Wei Guo, it would be even more difficult. Wei Guo only needed to jump and shoot, and they would have a hard time interfering with him.
It seems...
Popovich was also considering training a fast, big man specifically to defend the perimeter, just to counter Wei Guo.
........
In the third quarter, the two teams remained evenly matched.
Duncan wreaked havoc on the Rockets' interior defense, and several times it was only thanks to Wei Guo's help defense that Duncan was contained.
but...
The Spurs played very calmly.
Even though Bowen had just been beaten up by Francis, it didn't make his teammates lose their temper. This team rarely made mistakes on both offense and defense.
The Spurs couldn't contain Wei Guo, who was on a rampage. Wei Guo gave his all in every offensive and defensive play, which inspired his teammates.
89:77!!
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets led by 12 points.
Wei Guo played the entire third quarter, making 11 of 15 shots and scoring 27 points. Apart from Wei Guo, only Yao Ming and Mobley scored for the Rockets in the third quarter, with Yao Ming scoring 2 points and Mobley scoring 3 points. Wei Guo took up a lot of shot attempts, but under the Spurs' tight defense, he also missed 4 shots.
........
tNt live stream room.
"They've gone mad! They've gone mad! They've gone mad!"
Barkley shouted excitedly, "68 points in three quarters! Who else but Wei Guo could do that???"
Johnson said, "We're going to make history again tonight."
........
Wei Guo set a league single-game rebounding record last season.
However, Wei Guo's scoring is not high. He has had a few games with 60+ points, but he has never scored more than 70 points in a single game. It seems that he will break this record tonight.
Even more terrifying is...
Wei Guo was playing against the Spurs, a team that's not a cash cow; their defense is among the best in the league.
All night long, Wei Guo was constantly taking on opponents 1-on-2...1-on-3...1-on-4...and the Spurs couldn't stop him from scoring.
There's one period left.
It would be easy for Wei Guo to score over 70 points, but as for Barkley's prediction of 100 points in a single game, that's still a bit far-fetched.
The Spurs also knew that Wei Guo had scored 68 points.
Bowen's lips turned pale. Could Wei Guo really have scored 100 points in a single game?
Spurs bench.
When David Robinson learned that Wei Guo had scored 68 points in three quarters, he turned his head and looked at Wei Guo again in the direction of the Rockets' bench.
He has also won the scoring title and had an amazing performance of 71 points in a single game.
But... that match was absolutely disgusting!
Robinson also didn't want to talk about that game, the last game of the regular season, where he was competing with O'Neal for the scoring title.
To help Robinson win the scoring title, the Spurs kept fouling the Clippers, creating the most offensive opportunities for him, and giving him the ball whenever possible.
final...
Robinson narrowly defeated O'Neal to win the scoring title.
Admittedly, the Rockets kept giving the ball to Wei Guo throughout the game, but they didn't foul incessantly like the Spurs did back then, disregarding the outcome of the game, just to create more scoring opportunities for Wei Guo.
and...
The Spurs tried really hard to limit Wei Guo, but they just couldn't stop him.
........
The fourth quarter begins.
"Brother Wei..."
Cummings whispered, "You're just 32 points away from achieving the 100-point feat in a single game!"
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Guo didn't turn back. As he walked towards the court, he used a 'stamina rune', as he needed to be at 100% condition.
100 points in a single game!
Even for Wei Guo, it takes perfect timing, location, and people to complete such a feat. His touch tonight was truly amazing.
29 out of 39 shots made!
The premise is that many times, despite being fouled, no corresponding whistle was given.
The Rockets are on offense.
Jackson and Bowen started double-teaming Wei Guo from midfield!
"You still dare to go on stage?!"
Wei Guo sneered at Bowen, then pushed Bowen aside and gestured for his teammates to pass the ball to him.
"Whoosh~~~"
Norris's pass was a bit too high.
No problem, Wei Guo jumped early, received the pass in mid-air, adjusted his shooting posture and shot before landing!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
"It's unstoppable~~~"
Several Rockets substitutes yelled at the players on the court, "You guys can't guard Wei Ge at all!"
92:77!!
The Rockets are now leading by 15 points, and the balance of victory has tipped in their favor.
Duncan and Parker remained seated on the bench.
Robinson also did not play. He is a veteran, and veterans are bound to have some injuries. He can only play for about twenty minutes in a game.
........
The Spurs are on offense, and Ginobili drives to the basket for a layup.
Posey was waiting for Ginobili under the basket, and the two collided in mid-air.
"Whoosh!!!"
Ginobili's layup form was completely off, but he still managed to put the basketball in the basket.
92:79!!
One minute into the fourth quarter, Duncan and Parker wanted to come on.
"Wait a little longer..."
Popovich said to Duncan, "You two aren't in a hurry to get on the court!"
Popovich has his own plans.
As for what Popovich is thinking, Duncan can't figure it out, Parker can't figure it out, no one can figure it out.
