In a series, the most important game is Game 5, second only to Game 7!
certainly...
The decisive Game 7 has already decided the outcome; there's no other game left to play.
The Nets narrowly won Game 5, a game worth celebrating. What moved the fans was not only Wei Guo's perseverance in the final moments, but also Jefferson's return to the court.
That diving save was too dangerous.
Jefferson's good health and luck are the first things to thank for, and then the Nets owner should also be thanked. The massage therapist was specially prepared for Wei Guo, but Wei Guo didn't need it and ended up helping Jefferson instead.
......
The pivotal Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals wasn't this dramatic.
The Lakers defeated the Timberwolves on the road, and by a large margin. Fans who watched the game will know that the Timberwolves are no match for the Lakers.
The finals seem to be getting clearer...
What surprised the league was that the depleted Nets were able to come back from a 1-2 deficit to win two straight games.
Wei Guo has been hyped up to the skies by the sports media, basically portrayed as someone who can kick South Jordan and punch North Burren.
The Lakers have a 1-1 record against the Pistons and a 0-2 record against the Nets in the regular season. The Pistons are a strong team, but the Lakers would prefer to face the Pistons rather than the Nets.
......
After the fifth game, Gentry gave the players two days off.
Let the players rest at home for the next couple of days.
No tactical drills or physical training were conducted; the goal was simply for the players to relax and then head to Detroit.
Brown and Gentry shared similar ideas.
The Nets, depleted of key players, had pushed themselves to the limit after two consecutive wins. Wei Guo delivered an incredible 50+30 performance in Game 4 and 50+10 in Game 5, but ultimately secured a last-minute victory.
Especially the fifth game...
The two teams were locked in a stalemate until the final two seconds.
Even if Brown were the coach, he would give the players a day off after the fifth game so they could get some rest.
The sixth game is an away game!
Take it easy...
Even if we lose, there's still a Game 7!
......
May 30, 2004, torrential rain!
From the moment he got off the bus until he entered the stadium, Wei Guo was soaked to the bone. The weather was terrible, and there was thunder.
The arena wasn't full tonight either...
Tickets have all been sold out. Some fans may not be able to attend the game due to the weather. Detroit has a temperate climate, and the highest temperature in summer is only around 30 degrees Celsius.
Heavy rainstorms like this are not common.
"This awful weather..."
Cummings was still complaining, "It's really annoying."
Kiddels said, "It's not an outdoor court, what does the weather have to do with playing in the arena? I remember when I was a kid... I would practice outside in a downpour."
Most NbA players had a tough childhood.
Making it into the NBA is not only due to talent, but also inseparable from his own hard work... So many people feel sorry for Wei Guo, because the scouting report during Wei Guo's draft stated: He can't play basketball.
How can someone who can't play basketball become the best player in the league?
Wei Guo was secretly training in a place unknown to anyone. There's a saying that superstars are one percent talent and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
certainly...
Ninety-nine percent perspiration is worthless compared to one percent talent.
The weather is bad; the air humidity is very high.
Gentry urged the players to warm up on the field early on, including players like Cummings and Zoran, who all had to get their bodies moving before the game.
......
Raindrops are hitting the roof of the stadium!
If you mute the audience, the pattering rain sounds like a symphony.
Starting lineup for this match:
Brooklyn Nets: Stockton, Kiddels, Jefferson, Weiguo, Collins
Pistons: Billups, Hamilton, Anthony, Rasheed, Ben Wallace
Mourning became a substitute.
As Wei Guo straightened his jersey and stood in the center circle preparing for the jump ball, Da Ben reached out his hand to him.
"So friendly?"
Wei Guo didn't understand what Da Ben meant, but he still gave Da Ben a high five.
Ben flashed a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile...
"Beep!!!"
The game began with the sound of the whistle.
Wei Guo jumped and passed the ball to Kiddles. Kiddles dribbled one step and then passed the ball to Wei Guo. Wei Guo dribbled to the three-point line and pulled up for a three-pointer!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
Wei Guo looked at his palm and said, "Big Ben, this is the luck you brought me."
I don't know which expert gave Ben Wallace this brilliant idea, but he took the initiative to high-five Wei Guo, as if he wanted to get a feel for Wei Guo's shooting touch. Wei Guo made a three-pointer right at the start of the game, and he had a good shooting night.
Without Wei Guo, Ben Wallace would definitely be the best defensive player in recent years; he could easily win the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Although not good at offense, Ben Wallace was no match for any of the league's interior players on defense, including Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett. Wei Guo is probably the only player in the league who could truly defeat Ben Wallace.
"Without a tenacious defense, how can there be a smooth offense?"
This is Ben Affleck's motto.
but...
After the last game, Brown spoke with Ben Wallace, saying that he also needed to take on some offensive responsibilities because the Nets always left him open, and he had many good scoring opportunities that he missed.
Pistons on offense!
Hamilton and Anthony made a crossover run, and Billups made a long pass, which found the ball in Ben Wallace's hands!
Collins blocked the main attack direction!
The basketball bounced off the ground and then bounced back up... Ben Wallace drove to the basket like a tank clearing the way, pushing past Collins to reach the basket and gently tossing the ball to the basket with his right hand.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
......
tNt live stream room.
Barkley: "Oh my... I really didn't expect that the Pistons' first point would be scored by Ben Wallace."
Johnson said, "This isn't something he's good at."
Barkley: "I thought the basketball would fly straight over the rim, considering how strong Ben Wallace's hands are."
Johnson, "Hahaha..."
Barkley and Johnson often joked about the players, especially Barkley. His reputation in the industry is undeniable, and he also has a big, lovable mouth, so it's not surprising that anything comes out of his mouth.
......
Ben Wallace's scoring doesn't necessarily change the Nets' defensive tactics.
During the attack...
Stockton has the ball, Wei Guo moves to the weak side to draw the defense, Kiddles receives a pass from Stockton and drives to the basket!
*Smack!!!*
The defense came up to cover and gave Kidds a big block.
This is what Ben Affleck excels at...
After Hamilton got the ball, he quickly launched a fast break. He didn't even look back and confidently made a layup.
