There are some player cards that Wei Guo completely ignored.
After clicking...
Wei Guo's attributes and skills remain unchanged.
If attributes and skills don't stack, some star players would want to discard their cards, otherwise they worry that the cards will be neutralized, reducing their skills and attributes.
......
"Brother Wei, I..."
Bell never expected that, in the Finals, Wei Guo would demand more playing time.
If he plays in the second quarter, that means he's part of the regular rotation.
Bale also wants to prove himself; he needs to achieve results so that he can get a contract in the offseason and avoid being unemployed.
"good!"
Brown agreed and said to Bell, "I'll give you fifteen minutes of playing time in this game. Don't let your brother Wei down."
"I will definitely try my best!"
Bell nodded vigorously.
He understood that this game was his best chance, and he would do everything in his power to defend Kobe and prove himself.
........
After the timeout, the 76ers made personnel adjustments.
Players on the field:
Iverson, Bell, Harprin, Mutombo, Weiguo.
Iver passed the ball to Harprin.
Wei Guo made an off-ball movement, bypassing O'Neal's defense, received a pass outside the three-point line, and took an open three-point shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
We shouldn't overlook Wei Guo's perimeter offense just because of his inside game; his off-ball movement is among the best in the league.
49:31!!
The 76ers are now leading by 18 points.
Kobe had the ball, and Bell stuck close to him, saying, "I'll guard you."
"Who are you?"
Kobe responded coldly.
The tone was full of sarcasm...
This also hurt Bell's pride. He stuck to Kobe tightly. Kobe tried to get away from Bell, but Bell kept sticking to him. Fox stepped in to screen, and just as Kobe got some space to shoot, Bell squeezed in again and continued to entangle with Kobe.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
"Bang!"
Kobe's offensive moves and Bell's defensive moves were both very aggressive.
"Pass the ball!"
The Zen Master yelled for Kobe to pass the ball.
but...
Kobe got angry at Bell's defense and tried to attack Bell. After several entanglements, Kobe turned and shot, but missed.
Three things to avoid!!!
Brown nodded silently. "Weiguo's suggestion is excellent. I never expected that Bell would have such great energy hidden in his body."
Bale's defensive moves were very aggressive.
This was tantamount to being provoked by an unknown young player, which Kobe could not tolerate. He had to teach this young player a lesson.
Brown didn't expect Bell to completely limit Kobe's performance, but as long as he could use all his energy to defend Kobe within the limited time, Bell would have accomplished his task.
Harpring received a pass from Weiguo and made a basket under the rim.
Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt, pushed past Bell, and turned to shoot, making the basket.
"Newbie!"
Kobe didn't forget to mock him, saying, "Your defense is terrible."
Bell: (╬￣皿￣)
Few of the league's top players are unaware of trash talk; the most representative example is Jordan. Of course... Wei Guo's trash talk is also quite good, and sometimes he will even politely greet his opponents in Chinese.
"Calm down and don't let your words affect you."
Wei Guo patted Bale on the butt and said, "Getting angry is the worst thing you can do. Earn his respect with your defense."
Trash talk is part of the game. Superstars love to double down, outplaying you technically and then mentally destroying you with their words.
........
Kobe tried hard to catch up, but Weiguo and Iverson wouldn't give him that chance.
Iverson kept attacking the basket!
With about fifty seconds left in the second quarter, the Lakers' defense relaxed slightly.
Wei Guo made a sprint under the basket, calling for the ball before even reaching the three-point line, and Iverson simply passed the ball to Wei Guo.
That pass was... absolutely brilliant.
Wei Guo reached the three-point line, the basketball landed in his hands, and he shot immediately.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
The Lakers inbound the ball from the baseline, and Fisher quickly dribbles to the frontcourt and takes a three-point shot.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo blocked Fisher's three-pointer from behind.
Coleman won the ball, and Wei Guo was already running towards the front. Coleman passed the ball to Wei Guo.
The toes touch the three-point line.
"Whoosh!!!"
Another three-pointer went in.
With about twenty seconds left in the first half, the Lakers began to run down the clock.
The 24-second shot clock is almost up!
Kobe Bryant takes a fadeaway jump shot.
"bang~~~"
The basketball bounced off the rim. Wei Guo grabbed the rebound, but Fox stuck to him. Wei Guo flicked his wrist, and the basketball passed between Coleman's legs.
A nutmeg dribble!
Wei Guo quickly got the ball and dribbled straight to the frontcourt. Kobe and Fisher rushed towards Wei Guo, but Wei Guo nimbly spun and passed between them before pulling up for a jump shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
71:46!!
In the final minute, Wei Guo scored 9 consecutive points, extending the lead to 25 points.
........
In the home locker room, Wei Guo noticed that Cummings looked somewhat disappointed.
"Hey buddy, what are you thinking about?"
Wei asked.
Cummings, holding the statistics sheet, said, "We're already leading by 25 points at halftime. The game will soon be garbage time. Wei, it'll be a bit difficult for you to get a quadruple-double."
"Oh~ You still care about this?"
Wei Guo laughed and said, "Victory is the most important thing. Statistics are all secondary. Let me look at my current stats..."
31 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 7 blocks.
Is this data acceptable...?
Wei Guo muttered, "It's not that hard to get five assists and three blocks."
........
At the start of the second half, O'Neal and Kobe played with even greater aggression.
However, Bell used up a lot of Kobe's energy in the second quarter...
Both Wei Guo and Iverson performed consistently, and the point difference gradually widened, with Wei Guo's stats also increasing.
There are 2 minutes and 27 seconds left in the third quarter.
The point difference has reached 30 points...
Wei Guo is resting and he doesn't plan to come back on. The point difference is very safe, and it will be difficult for the Lakers to catch up.
Cummings was anxious. Sitting behind Wei Guo, he whispered a reminder: "Brother Wei, you have nine blocks now."
Nine blocks?!
Upon hearing the data, Wei Guo stood up. "Coach, I can't rest. This is the finals. I can only relax after completely defeating our opponent."
"Very good!"
Brown praised, "Everyone should learn from your professionalism. You stayed on the court and helped secure the win instantly."
