Bowen was also furious.
However, Francis had already been separated from him, with several players between them.
"Francis, you just wait!"
Unable to hit Francis, Bowen could only point at Francis's nose and yell, "If you walk out of this arena today, I'm not Bowen!!!"
"Damn it!"
Francis instantly became furious, broke free from his teammates, and charged forward again.
When Bowen saw Francis charging at him, he wasn't a coward either. He shook off Robinson and started fighting with Francis again.
This time...
Francis also accidentally got punched.
......
Wei Guo was stunned. Francis had an even bigger temper than him!
However, if they continued fighting, things would get out of hand, and Francis would likely be suspended... So Wei Guo and Robinson stepped forward and forcibly separated Francis and Bowen.
"tui~~~"
"tui~~~"
"tui~~~"
Bowen, feeling wronged after being beaten, spat three mouthfuls of bloody saliva at Francis.
"tui~~~"
Francis also spat at Bowen.
This action disgusted Wei Guo, who immediately pulled Francis away, thus ending the fight.
......
Things have come to this point, and Francis has been ejected from the game.
Gentry was very dissatisfied with the ruling and argued with the technical staff.
"Old Jin!"
Wei Guo shouted, "That's it, I want Bowen to stay on the field!"
Gentry was indignant because while Francis did strike first, Bowen also retaliated. Why was Francis only ejected from the game, and not Bowen as well?
and...
Bowen's attack just now was a deliberate elbow strike to Wei Guo.
That deserves at least a technical foul.
......
"Get out of San Antonio!"
"Get out of San Antonio!"
"Get out of San Antonio!"
The home fans started jeering.
......
This farce lasted for more than ten minutes before the game resumed.
There were 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the second quarter.
Although Bowen was not ejected, Popovich wisely decided not to keep him on the field.
Wei Guo walked to the Spurs' bench.
Popovich looked up at Wei Guo, and two players instinctively shielded Bowen behind them.
Bowen had just been beaten up by Francis, but Wei Guo was much stronger than Francis. If Wei Guo beat Bowen up again, Bowen would probably have to go to the hospital.
"tonight..."
Wei Guo said, enunciating each word clearly, "I will make you feel what true despair is!"
"You can talk big again when you can score 100 points in a single game!"
Bowen stubbornly insisted.
"You just wait!"
Wei Guo scoffed and walked onto the field.
Popovich glared at Bowen, scolding him for talking too much... However, this also helped to curb Wei Guo's arrogant arrogance.
100 points in a single game?
If Wei Guo could do that, he would pluck out all his beard on the spot!
........
The game continues, and the Rockets are on offense.
Francis was ejected from the game, and Mobley started playing point guard. He dribbled the ball up the court and found Wei Guo.
After receiving the ball, Wei Guo used two crossovers to find space to break through, and instantly accelerated past Duncan.
He took a mid-range pull-up jump shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
Wei Guo is very accurate with three-pointers, but he doesn't blindly shoot threes. The closer you are to the basketball, the higher your shooting percentage. This principle has never changed.
49:45!!
The Rockets lead by 4 points.
With little time remaining in the second quarter, a team would likely have 4 to 6 offensive opportunities if the game proceeded at a normal pace.
The Spurs are on offense.
Jackson missed a long-range shot, Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound, and his layup attempt was disrupted by Wei Guo, who came on to help defend, so the shot also missed.
Yao Ming grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Wei Guo.
Mobley quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and Wei Guo made a long pass to Mobley. He then accelerated and ran, and he and Mobley reached the vicinity of the three-point line almost at the same time. Mobley then passed the ball to Wei Guo.
Wei Guo receives the ball and fakes a shot!
Jackson jumped behind Wei Guo, Wei Guo leaned on Jackson, and shot the ball!
"Fuck..."
Popovich was furious. How could a superstar like Weiguo resort to such a despicable tactic as drawing fouls?
but...
What happened next left Popovich stunned.
After deceiving Jackson, Wei Guo took a shot while Jackson fouled him.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
3+1!!!
This was definitely not a coincidence. From Wei Guo's confident eyes, Popovich could tell that even if he was fouled, Wei Guo was confident he could make the shot.
Wei Guo stepped up to the free-throw line.
"Whoa~~~"
"Whoa~~~"
"Whoa~~~"
The fans kept booing, interfering with Wei Guo's free throw.
"Oh..."
Wei Guo smiled dismissively, took the ball from the referee, and shot directly.
"Whoosh!!!"
This sound left the home fans feeling somewhat hopeless.
Cummings' eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Wei hasn't missed a single free throw this season. Can he break the record for a 100% free throw percentage in a single season?"
You should know...
Wei Guo gets at least 5 free throws in a game, which adds up to more than 400 in a season. If he doesn't concede a single point, it will definitely be one of the hardest records to break.
53:45!!
The Rockets are now leading by 8 points.
During this period, the Rockets played with great momentum, and the other players on the court were also inspired by Wei Guo.
......
Francis returned to the locker room.
He sat alone in the locker room, awaiting a suspension and a fine that could amount to tens of thousands of dollars.
Francis's salary this season is only a little over four million US dollars, not much higher than Yao Ming's. Even a few tens of thousands of US dollars is enough to make him feel the pinch, but Francis has no regrets.
Bowen's elbow strike was intentional.
At this time...
If he doesn't stand up for his teammates, he doesn't deserve to be called 'Big Brother Francis' by the fans, even though the team's current leader is Wei Guo.
......
With only 1 minute and 57 seconds remaining, Popovich called a timeout.
Wei Guo scored 6 points in one minute, and also made a successful defensive play against Duncan.
"Although there are only two minutes left, one moment of carelessness could allow Weiguo to widen the gap completely!"
Next...
Duncan, you stick close to Weiguo on defense. You can let him drive, but you absolutely cannot give Weiguo a chance to shoot.
"If Weiguo gets past Duncan, Jackson and Robinson, you two go up and double-team him, shut down Weiguo."
Bowen wanted to sneak a peek at the technical statistics table.
However, the Spurs only counted their own players and did not include Wei Guo's data.
