The first half has ended.
57:45!!
The Rockets lead by 12 points.
Trailing by only 12 points, the Suns already felt victory was out of reach.
......
"We're only down by 12 points, we can't give up. Strong teams can really hone our skills."
Frank was motivating the players, saying, "If we win this game, we'll be seventh in the West."
Ultimately...
The two teams have different goals. The Rockets' goal is to win the championship, while the Suns' goal is to make the playoffs. Marbury entered the league in 1996 and was once considered a rival to Iverson.
However, Kobe and Iverson both won championship rings in the same year.
Marbury, however, came away empty-handed. During his years with the Timberwolves, he was even jokingly referred to by fans as the "Lone Wolf."
Away game locker room.
The players huddled together chatting, completely relaxed.
Cummings looked at the statistics sheet in his hand: 21 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, and 7 blocks.
As we watch...
Wei Guo's block count is about to reach double digits. Since entering the league, Wei Guo has delivered on every bold statement he made and has never been proven wrong.
........
After halftime, the second half of the game began.
"Won't the Suns give up too soon?"
Cummings whispered to Gentry, "Like the old Spurs?"
"Won't..."
Gentry shook his head. "The third quarter has only just begun. Giving up so early, don't you have any pride?"
Wei Guo only played about a hundred games, and had six double-digit blocks. These six double-digit blocks also gave Wei Guo three quadruple-doubles and three triple-doubles. Wei Guo has a very scary record, which is three quadruple-doubles!
There are very few players in the league who have achieved a quadruple-double, and Wei Guo is the only player who has achieved three quadruple-doubles.
Following this trend...
Wei Guo will most likely add another quadruple-double to his tally tonight.
Four times with four doubles? ??
This is truly unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
......
The Rockets are on offense, and Mobley misses a mid-range shot.
Wei Guo grabbed the offensive rebound, used his body to push Stoudemire aside, and then slammed it home with a one-handed dunk.
59:45!!
"remember..."
After scoring, Wei Guo didn't forget to teach Yao Ming a lesson: "This league only respects the strong. Don't be polite to anyone on the court."
The point difference was about to reach 20 points, and the Suns started to get impatient.
Marbury blew past Francis, faced Wei Guo's defense, and pulled up for a fadeaway jump shot.
The curvature is very high...
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo blocked Marbury's shot.
"How the hell could this be covered?!"
Marbury was somewhat desperate... At that angle of his backstep, his body was almost parallel to the ground, yet Wei Guo managed to block the shot without committing a foul!
O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett!
Even these three players couldn't do that... Just how high can Wei Guo reach? That's truly a mystery...
Time passed second by second.
After Wei Guo assisted Francis to hit a three-pointer, Cummings pumped his fist and shouted, "Wild! Double-digit assists!"
actually...
Cummings cares more about data than Weiguo.
Wei Guo would at most glance at the data after the game and forget about it the next day. Even when he scored 100 points in a single game, Wei Guo would only mention it every now and then, not every day.
What a low-key player...
Tonight, Wei Guo's stats were very even, and getting double-digit rebounds was easy for him. Whether he can get a quadruple-double depends on his assists.
As for blocks...
This is bound to be a double, because Wei Guo has already made a strong statement.
........
There are 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter.
"Suns request a timeout!"
Frank called a timeout.
79:53!!
They're already down by 26 points.
Nine minutes into the third quarter, the Suns had only scored 8 points as a team. Their offense and defense were both terrible, and Frank felt they could give up on the game.
"Brother Wei, here are your technical statistics!"
As soon as Wei Guo arrived at the sidelines, Cummings handed him the statistics sheet, saying, "You've got nine blocks already!"
35 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, and 9 blocks.
These are Wei Guo's current stats, which are quite satisfactory. Wei Guo feels he shouldn't need to play in the fourth quarter. Now it depends on whether the Suns will give up the game early.
"There are still a little over three minutes left in the third quarter!"
Frank said, "My demands are not high. I just need to score 10 more points, stop the Rockets' offense, and bring the score difference to within 20 points."
......
The game resumed after the timeout.
The Suns didn't give up, but they were also demoralized, which was partly due to Marbury's repeated complaints about his teammates on the court.
Suns on offense!
Wei Guo, eager to reach 10 blocks as quickly as possible, used a prophecy rune, and the Suns' next offensive strategy flashed through his mind.
Next...
Marbury will take a three-pointer from the corner.
When Wei Guo and Francis switched defensive positions, Wei Guo ran out of bounds, leaving what appeared to be only nine players on the field.
Marbury dribbled to the three-point corner, and there was no one in front of him. This was a great opportunity, and Marbury took the three-point shot!
*Smack!!!*
The basketball had barely left Marbury's fingertips when Wei Guo snatched it away from behind him.
"What the hell..."
Marbury was dumbfounded. "When did Wei Guo get behind me?"
10 blocks, check-in complete!
What followed was incredibly simple. After Yao Ming went to the bench to rest, Wei Guo took over the center position. The Suns were completely overwhelmed and their shooting became inaccurate. Wei Guo easily grabbed two defensive rebounds.
"well..."
Frank sighed heavily.
With 53 seconds left in the third quarter, Frank was ready to give up and substituted all his starters.
Similarly...
The Suns also substituted their starters. Cummings put down his statistics sheet, stretched his wrists and ankles, and walked onto the court.
........
In the final quarter, neither coach called a timeout.
Time passed quickly...
"Beep!!!"
The match ended with the referee's whistle.
103:77!!
The Rockets defeated the Suns by 26 points on the road.
Match statistics:
Wei Guo: 39 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, and 10 blocks
Marbury: 17 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks
Yao Ming: 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 0 steals, 1 block
Stoudemire: 17 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks
......
In his matchup against Stoudemire, Yao Ming also revealed some weaknesses, showing a lack of physicality.
Wei Guo scored a quadruple-double in three quarters, marking his fourth career quadruple-double, a terrifying record that only Wei Guo has been able to break.
