13 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals, and 7 blocks!
Wei Guo just wanted to collect some data...
The scoring target has been met. From now on, Wei Guo can only assist and pass the ball; he absolutely cannot take a shot!
Assists are the easiest statistic to track. It's not that he doesn't pass the ball, but if Wei Guo passes the ball out and his teammates don't shoot immediately, even if it goes in, it doesn't count as Wei Guo's attack. It's just that his steals and blocks are far too few!
The Rockets had no idea that Wei Guo was trying to pad his stats!
Scola received a pass from his teammate in the mid-range, and as the basketball slid across his fingertips, he suddenly felt a darkness above his head.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo slapped Scola's shot away.
"If you can't make the shot, don't shoot!"
Cummings remarked sarcastically, "Wouldn't it be better to just stand there quietly and accept God's hotpot?"
The basketball was swatted out of bounds, and the Rockets inbounded the ball.
"Landry, run to the left..."
Jackson waved his hand, directing his teammates' movements, "Dumbass, go to the basket and box out..."
After directing for a while, and seeing that a turnover was imminent, Jackson finally lobbed the ball to the basket, neglecting Wei Guo again.
If you draw a line between Jackson and Mutombo, Weiguo would be at the midpoint of that line. This is a parabola problem that even junior high school students can solve. Weiguo is 3.6 meters away from the highest point of the parabola, which is the limit of most players' reach, but of course, it is not Weiguo's limit.
He jumped with all his might!
Wei Guo intercepted the ball at the highest point of its trajectory.
"Holy crap..."
Adelman went crazy, "Is this even possible?"
This steal was pure talent; it was like a scene from a movie. When Wei Guo landed, no one reacted at all. Even Paul stood there dumbfounded. It was only after Wei Guo urged him that Paul rushed forward with all his might, received the pass from Wei Guo, and scored a layup.
1 block, 1 steal, 1 assist!
Wei Guo obtained this data in just 13 seconds.
......
Cummings looked at the stat sheet in his hand: 13 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 steals, and 8 blocks. He needed to reach the rebound and assist milestones, but what about the steals and blocks? He regretted his loose tongue for having to say something and ask Wei Ge to put together a 13+13+13+13+13 combo. Who would have thought that Wei Ge would agree?
This is also a meeting of minds between Wei Guo and Cummings...
Vujacic's suggestion of 20+20+20+20+20 is nonsense. Unless the game goes to six overtimes, even Wei Guo couldn't get such exaggerated numbers. In a game with extremely strong defense, it's already pretty good if the whole team can get 10 steals and 10 blocks. 20 steals and 20 blocks is something that even the whole team can't achieve, let alone one person.
This is also why it was very difficult for the league to produce a quadruple-double before Wei Guo.
Five pairs?
In most games, the team's overall stats may not reach five-doubles.
Why is this considered a perfect match between Wei Guo and Cummings? It's simply because Cummings understands Wei Guo so well, and Wei Guo has a bit of OCD... His 13th career quintuplet, achieving 13+13+13+13+13, is just too awesome!
......
The game is still going on, but the pace has slowed down.
Weiguo will no longer participate in the offensive...
The Rockets were in a 4-on-5 situation in the frontcourt, yet they managed to close the gap to 7 points, at one point reducing the deficit to within 20 points.
Adelman saw no hope of winning and instead said, "Wei Guo is letting us win... This is his last game of the regular season. Not to mention these few spectators, even the elites from various industries behind us are here to watch Wei Guo play. It would be no fun if the game became garbage time too early."
That should be the case.
Yao Ming also said, "Look at Wei Guo, he's just strolling around when he's on offense, and he doesn't even bother to pick up the rebound that falls into his arms."
McGrady said, "That's what we think, but the audience saw a very exciting game. Wei Guo was still running long distances, stealing the ball from behind Battier, and giving Scola a big block. That's the attitude you only have when you're playing seriously."
The third quarter lasted seven minutes!
Jackson drove around Mutombo to the basket, but his layup attempt was blocked by Wei Guo, who was following up. Then... the Rockets' inbound pass was stolen by Wei Guo!
The entire audience stood up!
McGrady led the entire Rockets team to stand up!
Thunderous applause...
The big screen displayed Wei Guo's stats: 13 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 10 steals, and 11 blocks.
With his 13th career quintuplet, Wei Guo stood at center circle with the basketball, basking in the cheers of the crowd. Yao Ming slapped his thigh and said, "I understand now. The reason Wei Guo isn't participating in the offense is that he's controlling the stats."
"I think I understand now..."
McGrady said, "This is his 13th five-double, so he wants to get all his stats to 13. He's just 3 steals and 2 blocks away."
The data is far too neat.
It wasn't just Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady; practically everyone... knew what Wei Guo wanted to do. Three steals and two blocks—were they difficult? For Wei Guo... it seemed like not difficult at all!
......
To seemingly confirm this fact, Hayes would time his shot by shaking off Bynum and pausing briefly before firing, giving Wei Guo the opportunity to block it.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo leaped forward and bestowed a large hat upon Hayes.
"Hahaha..."
The audience, who understood everything, burst into laughter, "Is Hayes trying to get Wei Guo to clock out of get off work earlier?"
The game was already in garbage time. At the beginning, I thought Wei Guo wanted to play the whole game, but now it seems that's not the case... He should leave the game when Wei Guo gets 13 steals and 13 blocks.
The Rockets players were very cooperative!
Jackson's dribble was intercepted, Scola's one-on-one play was intercepted, Landry's pass was intercepted, and finally Mutombo's dunk was blocked. Wei Guo finally achieved 13 steals and 13 blocks!
......
The Lakers called a timeout. Before leaving the court, Wei Guo stood at the center circle and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the tens of thousands of spectators in the arena!
The custom of bowing also exists in China...
Compared to bowing, Wei Guo prefers to clasp his hands in a fist salute. This time, he was also telling the audience that his professional career was coming to an end during the regular season.
......
In the final quarter, both the Lakers and the Rockets used a lineup consisting entirely of their reserves.
The game has lost its entertainment value...
Time quickly ran out, and the match ended. Four Chinese characters appeared on the big screen: Undefeated Myth!
82 consecutive wins!!!
Undefeated in the regular season!!!
This was the most bizarre season ever. The Lakers, composed of Kobe, Paul, Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Farmar, Vujacic, Walton, Turiaf, Ariza... as well as Cummings and Weiguo, defeated the entire league, remaining undefeated in 82 regular season games.
