"A counter-offensive?"
Scott asked, "Are you sure you want to go toe-to-toe with the Mavericks?"
The Mavericks have scoring ability at every position. Nash is a member of the 180 Club; as long as you dare to let him shoot, he can score. Nowitzki's scoring ability goes without saying; he plays the one-legged fadeaway move very well. Finley and Walker are also scoring experts, and even Fordson averages more than ten points per game.
On the other hand, the Nets only have Wei Guo as a true scorer, which is why the Mavericks dare to double-team him so recklessly!
actually...
Nobody really believed the Nets could win, not even Nets fans.
Gentry took out a tactics board and handed it to Wei Guo, "Brother Wei, what do you suggest?"
"good!"
Wei Guo received the ball on the whiteboard and gestured on it, saying: "Tyronn Lue dribbles quickly, Cummings moves to the weak side, Wei Dong is near the free throw line, when he encounters defense, he moves up to set a screen for Tyronn Lue, then retreats to the three-point line."
Mourning, drop back towards the basket, ready to receive the ball or grab a rebound. Don't make more than three passes per possession, and shoot immediately when an opportunity arises... My requirement is, no possession should exceed 7 seconds!
Tyronn Lue asked, "Brother Wei, what about you?"
"Don't worry about me..."
Wei Guo shook his head and said, "I will make the right choice!"
Scott worriedly said, "In that case, we're gambling on our shooting touch. If we don't have a good shooting touch, we have no chance of winning!"
"Don't say that..."
Gentry laughed and said, "It's just a regular season game. Everyone should keep a relaxed attitude. It's all about how you do it!"
Gentry doesn't want his players to be too nervous. Some players play better when they're nervous, but most players perform worse when they're nervous.
......
The second quarter began with the Nets trailing by 18 points!
The Mavericks brought in young players Najera and Jamison. Jamison averaged 22 points and 7 rebounds per game for the Warriors last season, but he can only come off the bench for the Mavericks. This shows how strong the Mavericks' roster is!
Finley stays on the field!
He and Jamison continued to double-team Wei Guo. Finley is the Mavericks' main scorer, but in this game he gave up on offense and focused his energy on defending Wei Guo.
Cummings served from the baseline, Mourning and Wei Dong had already run up the court, Finley and Jamison sandwiched Wei Guo, the three of them moving around the court like a giant hamburger, this match can be described as very ugly.
"Whoa~~~"
"Whoa~~~"
"Whoa~~~"
The fans booed incessantly!
Tyronn Lue quickly advanced the ball, Cummings moved to the weak side, and Tyronn Lue made a long pass. The ball reached Cummings' hands, and Cummings, who had just entered the three-point line, took a step back and shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
20:35!!
The Nets are down by 15 points.
Scott crossed his arms and rested his chin on his hand, saying to Gentry, "This kind of fighting is putting Tyronn Lue and Cummings in a difficult position."
This kind of long pass while moving demands extremely high passing ability from the player. A slight lapse in attention can lead to a mistake, especially when the teammate is still running. If the teammate receives the ball and shoots without adjusting, it also requires a high level of skill from the shooter.
"I know..."
Gentry replied, "But a team can't have two guards."
Scott pointed to the court and joked, "Who said there aren't? There are two Wei Ges here."
"Hahaha..."
Gentry just smiled.
The Mavericks were on offense. Jamison was holding the ball in the mid-range and didn't notice Wei Dong's position. Wei Dong stole the ball and immediately dribbled straight to the frontcourt!
"Holy crap..."
Jamison was furious at his own negligence, forgetting that he should be flanking Wei Guo with Finley, and swung his arms to chase after Wei Dong!
Wei Dong is very fast...
Stepping inside the free-throw line, Wei Dong leaped up in anger, grabbed the basketball with one arm, and attempted a drifting dunk!
The basketball is only 10 centimeters away from the rim!
Jamison chased after him and tried to block Wei Dong's dunk from the side!
"Bang!!!"
Wei Dong snapped his wrist and slammed the ball into the basket, but he also fell to the floor!
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Jamison had committed a defensive foul.
Wei Guo rushed over immediately and helped Wei Dong up, asking, "Brother, are you alright?"
"Ha ha..."
Wei Dong shrugged, "It's nothing, I actually feel great!"
"guard..."
"guard..."
"guard..."
The audience was itching to shout Wei Dong's name, but they only recognized the character "Wei" on the jersey; they had no idea what the other character was after "Wei"!
This is a new rule introduced by the league this year, requiring Chinese players to use Chinese characters on the back of their jerseys instead of pinyin.
The reason for this rule is...
It was simply to show the alliance's respect for Wei Guo, the alliance's number one player, and the two Chinese owners!
The DJ introduced, "Black stockings... Wei Dong!!!"
This is to tell the fans that the players understood the name of the player who was just dunked on.
"Wei Dong!"
"Wei Dong!"
"Wei Dong!"
The fans shouted "Wei Dong" loudly, and Wei Dong stepped to the free throw line.
"Whoosh!!!"
Amid cheers from the fans, Wei Dong made the free throw.
23:35!!
The Nets are only down by 12 points. If their full starting lineup were on the court right now, this difference wouldn't be a difference at all.
......
This was the first time Wei Dong had ever experienced such cheers.
Domestic fans were also very passionate, but not as much as these American fans, whose cheers seemed to be about to lift the roof off the stadium.
At this moment...
Wei Dong suddenly felt full of energy, as if he had returned to the peak of his professional career.
......
The Mavericks are on offense. Nash dribbles the ball up the court and takes a three-pointer!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball swished through the net!
The Nets quickly launched a counterattack. Tyronn Lue passed the ball to Cummings, who took a mid-range shot, but the arc of the shot was a bit off!
Wei Guo shook off Finley and Jamison and charged toward the backboard.
"bang~~~"
Cummings' shot bounced off the rim!
Wei Guo caught the basketball in mid-air and launched a floater as he fell!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball swished through the net!
25:38!!
The Nets are down by 13 points.
"This is Wei Guo's personal ability..."
Mavericks head coach Nelson took a deep breath, "If we can bring Wei Guo into the team, I can lead the team to ten consecutive championships!"
Nowitzki is a power forward!
The Mavericks are missing a center with exceptional scoring ability, rim protection, and who isn't afraid of physical contact under the basket!
Nielsen hadn't realized it yet...
The Nets were going to have to go toe-to-toe with them, but the Mavericks' offense was already fast-paced, and Nowitzki's shot was disrupted by Mourning!
Wei Guo grabs the defensive rebound!
Finley and Jamison once again sandwiched Weiguo like a hamburger!
