That was a powerful and dominant steal.
The Lakers players on the court were stunned. When had O'Neal ever been provoked like this?
Since Shaquille O'Neal entered the league...
Many centers switched to the power forward position to avoid facing O'Neal, but Wei Guo was the only one who switched from the point guard position to the center position in order to compete against O'Neal.
O'Neal's face darkened.
Wei Guo caught the basketball and dribbled it to the frontcourt alone. The center was dribbling, but no guard came up to steal the ball.
They knew it all too well...
A gamble-like steal will get you yelled at by the coach!
Wei Guo averaged nearly 9 assists per game with only 1.7 turnovers, which is a very low assist-to-turnover ratio.
Seeing the tactical hand gestures of the defender.
The 76ers players knew that Wei Guo was going to take a one-on-one shot, so they spread out to give him space.
You can't get past me!
Kobe defends the perimeter.
Wei Guo dribbled the ball slowly, between his legs... between his legs... between his legs... As Kobe's center of gravity shifted, Wei Guo suddenly accelerated!
After getting past Kobe, Wei Guo drove straight to the basket!
O'Neal wasn't about to let Wei Guo score so easily, so he jumped up as well.
Wei Guo gripped the basketball with both hands, his body arched in the air, the ball already behind his head, ready to unleash a powerful two-handed dunk.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
O'Neal yelled and jumped to block Wei Guo.
"Swoosh..."
Wei Guo's body folded from a reverse bow shape to a bow shape, with the basket right in front of him.
O'Neal lowered his body, trying to block Wei Guo's dunk, but his jumping height was more than 40 centimeters shorter than Wei Guo's, which caused O'Neal's hands to land on Wei Guo's forearms.
"Bang!!!"
A powerful two-handed dunk.
The basketball hoop bore the brunt of Wei Guo's explosive power, as well as the weight of Wei Guo and O'Neal.
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
The sound kept coming, sending chills down one's spine, then it turned into a loud "Whoa!!!"
The basketball hoop broke in the middle and then fell to the floor.
"??????"
"......"
"！！！！！！！"
The entire stadium was silent.
........
Basketball hoop: "Goodbye, my friend."
........
The league's basketball hoops have been forced to be upgraded several times.
Shaquille O'Neal destroyed a basketball hoop during his rookie season, after which the league hired a company to inspect and reinforce the basketball hoops.
This year's regular season...
Wei Guo also had the experience of breaking a basketball hoop once.
After that game, all teams in the league replaced their basketball hoops with sturdier ones. The 76ers' basketball hoop was of better quality, since other teams only faced Wei Guo a few times a season, while the 76ers' basketball hoop had to endure Wei Guo's abuse for half the season.
This reinforced basketball hoop suffered double damage from Wei Guo and O'Neal.
"this..."
"this..."
Wei Guo and O'Neal looked at each other, both with slightly embarrassed expressions.
"Dude, you need to lose weight!"
Wei Guo made a joke about O'Neal, breaking the awkward situation.
O'Neal retorted, "Your basketball hoop isn't too bad either."
......
The game was forced to pause before the first quarter was even over.
The players have all returned to the locker room...
Brown was still shocked by what he had just witnessed. "What do you think would happen if Wei Guo and O'Neal grabbed a basketball and dunked it?"
I guess...
Cummings said, "The rim will be pulled into an oval shape by the two of them."
"Very likely!"
Based on the previous experience, and considering the efficiency of the stadium staff, the game will likely restart in at least 45 minutes.
There is an even more crucial question.
The spare racks in the stadium are of the same quality as the stadium that was torn apart, and may even be of slightly worse quality.
With such a short timeframe, there's no way to find professionals to inspect and reinforce the basketball hoop. So... will this situation happen a second time tonight?
You should know...
Wei Guo and O'Neal have already started to compete.
"I told you tonight's game was special."
Coach Thompson said with a chuckle, "I just don't know if this situation will happen again."
"Brother, you can't say that. If the basketball hoop gets broken again, the game won't end until midnight tonight."
The match, which started at 8 PM, normally ended at 10 PM.
This unexpected event caused the match to be delayed until 11 PM, and then it happened again... it really couldn't end until midnight.
......
An hour later, the players were notified to return to the field.
New basketball hoop installed...
Before Wei Guo took the free throw, he jumped up from under the basket, grabbed the rim with both hands and shook it, muttering to himself, "Not bad."
Basketball hoop, "???"
If basketball hoops could talk, they would definitely say, "You xx, you xxxx, you xxxxx..."
There are 3 minutes and 7 seconds left in the first quarter.
27:23!!
The 76ers led by 4 points, and Wei Guo went to the free throw line.
Even if the basketball hoop was damaged, the points still need to be counted, and the free throws still need to be made. O'Neal committed a defensive foul just now.
After taking the free throw, Wei Guo confidently turned around.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
"I wish I could be as carefree as him."
O'Neal muttered something, then shook his head vigorously, "What kind of nonsense is this? I'm going to beat Wei Guo to a pulp!"
Lakers on offense.
The basketball hoop here is intact and has not been replaced.
Kobe's crossover dribble...
Complete a difficult fadeaway shot near the three-second zone.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
28:25!!
The Lakers are still down by 3 points.
Iverson received the ball in the mid-range, Horry helped Kobe defend, there was no space for him to shoot, and Iverson fell to the ground in the process, but in the instant he fell, he made a bounce pass!
The basketball passed between Horry's legs and into Coleman's hands.
Coleman received the ball and faked a shot, tricking O'Neal into moving forward a step, creating space for Wei Guo.
"Whoosh~~~"
Coleman took the opportunity to toss the ball towards the top of the basket.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo jumped up, caught the basketball in mid-air, and dunked it with both hands to score.
30:25!!
"Dude, that was a great pass!"
Wei Guo did not forget to give Coleman a positive evaluation.
Basketball hoop: (t ^ t)
The staff on the sidelines were on the edge of their seats. When Wei Guo dunked, they seemed to see the basketball hoop shake three times.
......
The first quarter of the game begins from the moment the referee blows the whistle and ends at the end.
It took 79 minutes and 55 seconds!
This may be the longest quarter in league history.
The time O'Neal broke the basketball hoop, and the time Wei Guo slammed the rim, it didn't take this long for a single quarter.
