Many star players give their jerseys or shoes to fans after a game.
This is a tradition...
Wei Guo isn't someone with a phobia of germs, so when a female fan made this request, he readily took off his shirt, signed it, and gave it to her.
Wow!
The female fans were staring at the eight-pack abs, unable to look away.
"Cough cough..."
Wei Guo coughed lightly, "Since you're alright, I'll be leaving now."
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you!"
The female fan leaned closer to Weiguo, "You didn't hurt me, but when you landed, your hand grabbed me... umm... you know!"
"Damn it!"
Wei Guo suddenly remembered that when he landed in the crowd, he did grab something, which he thought was a big steamed bun brought by the audience!
If we talk about this...
Wei Guo had to run away. He didn't want to get involved with the female fan, even though she was blonde, blue-eyed, had fair skin, a curvaceous figure, and was sitting in the front row.
......
There was nothing special about this match; the media has become numb to Wei Guo's statistics.
Just like when Wei Guo made 19 three-pointers in a single game, Kobe said that if those three-pointers hadn't been made by Wei Guo, he would definitely have taken a tape measure to measure the size of the Nets' basket.
No surprises in the fourth game!
The Heat held on until the final three minutes, when Wei Guo hit three consecutive three-pointers to seal the victory.
......
A few days after the Nets defeated the Heat, the other six teams also announced their wins and losses!
Pistons 4:2 Pacers!
Timberwolves 4:3 Kings!
Lakers 4-2 Spurs!
The matchups for the Eastern and Western Conference Finals were thus determined:
Eastern Conference: Nets vs. Pistons
Western Conference: Timberwolves vs. Lakers
The Pistons were the first truly strong team the Nets faced in the playoffs. The two teams played four games in the regular season, with the Nets leading 3-1. Although the Nets won three games, two of them were comebacks after trailing, and one game went into overtime, where they narrowly won thanks to Wei Guo's long-range three-pointer.
The Pistons have a very strong roster and are one of the favorites to win the championship this year.
Rasheed Wallace, the Roaring God; Hamilton, the Masked Man; Ben Wallace, the Big Ben; Prince, the Little Prince; Billups; and the super rookie Carmelo Anthony!
This team...
We are not afraid of facing any strong team.
The rivalry between the Pistons and Wei Guo dates back to the 2001-02 season. Wei Guo dominated the Pistons, and many records were set in games against them. Ben Wallace, in particular, was especially resentful, as Wei Guo snatched the Defensive Player of the Year award from him for several consecutive years.
The Pistons had stated before the season that they hoped the Nets could reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
They're going to utterly crush the Nets...
The Nets certainly did not disappoint the Pistons, securing their Eastern Conference Finals spot five days earlier than the Pistons.
......
May 22, 2004.
The Pistons travel to New Jersey for the Eastern Conference Finals!
Starting lineup for this match:
Brooklyn Nets: Wei Guo, Hill, Jefferson, Kenyon, Mourning
Pistons: Billups, Hamilton, Anthony, Rasheed, Ben Wallace
This is just the starting lineup. Both teams also have many excellent players on their benches. The Nets have Stockton, Kiddels, Tyronn Lue, Collins, Cummings... The Pistons have Prince, Okur, Campbell, Michael James... The Pistons' bench depth is in no way inferior to the Nets'.
The Pistons' head coach is Larry Brown, a renowned coach who previously coached the Weiguo team and knows them very well!
Brown won a championship while coaching the 76ers. If he can lead the Pistons to another championship this year, Brown's status in the coaching world will definitely be in the top six!
Gentry finally got serious...
When the Pistons were up 3-2, Gentry began to devise some tactics to counter the Pistons.
Like the Nets, the Pistons are both strong defensive teams, with both teams allowing an average of less than 90 points. The Pistons' defense is even more aggressive than the Nets'!
The Nets' toughness comes from their attitude towards the game, while the Pistons' toughness comes not only from their attitude but also from their physical strength and aggressive defensive moves!
The night before the match, Gentry gave a pre-match pep talk.
Pistons' Hamilton has a very accurate mid-range shot and his stamina is close to that of Wei Guo. This guy can stick to you on defense and Kobe always had a headache when facing Hamilton.
Billups is the Pistons' playmaker; he can calmly orchestrate the team's offense and also has a reliable shot!
Carmelo Anthony is a rookie this year, but he is definitely the Pistons' most capable scorer. By the second half of the regular season, Anthony had become the Pistons' leading scorer. He is like Wade, showing the edge of a superstar.
Rashid, also known as the Roaring God, was a man with a very volatile temper.
Ben Wallace was Wei Guo's old rival. When Wei Guo played center for the 76ers, he dominated Ben Wallace many times.
And then there's Prince, Okur, Campbell... these players all average over 7 points per game, which is pretty good as substitutes!
Scott analyzed that the Pistons should be considered the Nets' strongest opponent in this year's playoffs. If... Scott said "if" at the time, the Pistons might be this year's champions if they beat the Nets.
No matter how strong the opponent...
The Nets must defeat them.
......
These two teams don't get along!
Before the game started, everyone warmed up in front of their respective baskets, and then waited for the game to begin.
The Nets' entrance ceremony is also very important...
Wei Guo is always the last to appear, and the DJ always introduces Wei Guo.
"Let's give a warm round of applause to the three-time MVP, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, the strongest player in the league... Brooklyn Nets' number 13, Weiguo!!!"
The word 'dpoY' was emphasized, as if to remind Ben that Wei Guo was a dpoY, while he was not.
The Nets players stood in two rows, and Wei Guo high-fived his teammates one by one before walking onto the court!
(shake hands)
Wei Guo straightened his jersey and walked to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball.
This is one of the league's peculiarities. We've seen centers, power forwards, and even small forwards jump the ball, but it's rare for the point guard to start the game.
"Beep!!!"
The game whistle blew, and the basketball was tossed into the air by the referee.
Wei Guo jumped up, flicked the ball to Hill with a backhand, and didn't forget to taunt Ben Wallace, "You still jump so low."
"Fuck!!!"
Big Ben cursed and ran to his position in the backcourt.
Hill dribbled the ball across midcourt and looked for Wei Guo. Wei Guo came out to receive the ball, and Hamilton closely guarded him. Wei Guo held the basketball with both hands and swung it down, his shoulders twitching!
The basketball landed...
Dribble behind your back, step back to the left to create space for a shot!
