In just one session, all my mental fatigue disappeared.
Saved me a bottle of psychiatric medicine...
At the end of the last match, Wei Guo used up his lottery chance to get a precious "Thank you for your patronage" message, which prompted him to send the system 365 blessings.
........
The national team failed to score a single point in the first quarter, which Popovich considered to be within his expectations.
Even a god...
After scoring 60+ points in five consecutive games, he must be tired.
Players like Wei Guo can always remain calm on the field and make the right choices. For example, right now... Wei Guo felt that he had lost his ability to attack, so he chose to keep passing the ball.
Can a fallen angel still fly?
Popovich even asserted that Wei Guo would not score more than 20 points in this game.
The second quarter was about to begin, and Wei Guo was resting on the sidelines.
Popovich breathed a sigh of relief...
As expected, Wei Guo is really out of action. Usually, Wei Guo doesn't rest when the Rockets are behind, but now that the Rockets are down by 4 points, Wei Guo is sitting on the bench.
It seems there aren't many changes in this match.
Taking advantage of Wei Guo's absence, the Spurs extended their lead.
until...
With 5 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, Wei Guo walked to the scorer's table, ready to replace Rice.
31:43!!
The Rockets are down by 12 points.
In the six minutes that Wei Guo was absent, the Rockets only scored 6 points.
......
tNt live stream room.
Johnson said, "This is the longest second-quarter rest I've ever had since I started commentating on Rockets games."
Barkley: "Everything will change once Weiguo comes on the court."
Johnson said, "The Spurs are not a weak team. Their roster is a good counter to the Rockets. I think the Spurs will win this game."
Barkley: "I don't have a high opinion of the Spurs."
Johnson, "Whenever there's a game involving the defense of the country, you turn into a fat guy who doesn't understand football."
Barkley: "I'll always know more about basketball than you!"
........
"Brother Wei, we're down by 12 points, it's up to you."
"no problem!"
After high-fiving Rice, Weiguo ran onto the field.
The Rockets are on offense. Wei Guo has the ball at the top of the key and makes a wide pass, eventually passing the ball to Francis in the corner.
Francis receives the ball and takes a three-point shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
34:43!!
Wei Guo's assists reached double digits, and the Rockets narrowed the gap to within 10 points.
Five statistical categories—this is the first time Wei Guo has reached double digits faster than his score in any single statistic.
Looking at Wei Guo's stats: 0 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Only his scoring stat is currently blank.
He still won't attack...
Popovich laughed and said, "Has Wei Guo lost his scoring skills?"
The Spurs were on offense when a pass was intercepted by Francis. After getting the ball, Francis yelled, "Wei, let's go on a fast break!"
Then...
Francis flicked his arm and threw the ball forward, and Wei Guo also rushed forward quickly.
"Brother Wei, get one down!"
A burst of laughter came from the Spurs' bench.
Just one quarter without scoring made the Spurs' bench players forget the terror of Wei Guo!
Although the Spurs' bench players were full of sarcasm, Wei Guo still decided to grant their request. After receiving the ball near the three-point line, Wei Guo dribbled and jumped.
His body was like a propeller, spinning in the air, then spinning again.
Wei Guo continued to rise, his hair already higher than the rim, and then he slammed it down with a reverse dunk!
"Bang!!!"
A 720-degree spin dunk!
"Defend the country! Defend the country! Defend the country!"
The fans were moved to tears; the familiar Wei Guo was back!
36:43!!
The Rockets are only down by 7 points.
Popovich inwardly grumbled at the substitute players for being so talkative. Wei Guo... is he someone you can mock?
If this dunk opens up Wei Guo's offense again, the Spurs are in danger!
"A 720-degree dunk in actual combat!"
Francis rushed over and flattered, "In this alliance, only you, Brother Wei, could accomplish this."
Let alone in actual games, no one in the entire league except Wei Guo can complete a 720-degree spin dunk. After all, NBA players don't specifically practice dunking, and a 720-degree spin dunk isn't something you can do just by jumping high.
......
Duncan scored a layup after a one-on-one against Posey.
Wei Guo received a pass from Mobley, rushed to the basket, and scored with a reverse layup!
Just these five minutes...
The Rockets set up the ball for Wei Guo, who took on all the offense, and he did not disappoint his teammates, scoring 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting in five minutes.
Add to that 720-degree spin dunk.
In other words... Wei Guo played 5 minutes and 27 seconds in the second quarter, scoring 19 points with a combination of drives and shots, and also had 1 assist.
The first half has ended.
53:55!!
The Rockets narrowed the gap from a 12-point deficit to just 2 points.
Barkley mocked Johnson in the live broadcast, saying, "I really don't understand how someone who knows so little about basketball can become a basketball commentator."
"Look, the Rockets are only 2 points away from tying the game, and Wei Guo is shooting so well. Do you still think the Spurs have any hope of winning?"
........
That's the magic of Wei Guo; you can always trust him.
The Spurs' bench players watched the last five minutes of the second quarter with their heads down, feeling extremely frustrated that they shouldn't have mocked Wei Guo.
Even if Weiguo didn't score a single point throughout the entire match... who among them has the right to mock Weiguo?
The home team locker room.
Gentry diligently cooked a bowl of mutton noodles for Wei Guo, the mutton stewed until very tender... The others drooled and waited anxiously, only to find that Gentry had only made one serving.
Gentry visited Wei's home yesterday and noticed that Wei was not in good spirits. He wanted to do something for Wei, and this bowl of mutton noodles was Gentry's way of showing his sincerity.
"Don't bother looking, I only made one for Brother Wei."
Gentry tossed a pack of tissues onto the table. "Wipe your drool off, everyone. Don't spoil Wei's appetite."
Mobley complained, "Old Jin, we also contributed! If you keep favoring Wei, we're going to go on strike in the second half."
"OK!"
Gentry laughed and said, "Go ahead and strike, or I'll bring a few cleaning ladies to the game."
Mobley laughed and said, "If you put it that way, we won't go on strike. What if you play and still win the game? Wouldn't that make us lose face?"
The mutton noodles that Gentry cooked were quite authentic.
After finishing the last sip of soup, Wei Guo wiped his mouth and said, "Play well in the second half, we need to win this game."
"Gulp~"
"Gulp~"
"Gulp~"
The only response Wei Guo received was the sound of his teammates swallowing hard.
