The teammates burst into laughter.
"Brother Wei, don't worry...we will definitely help you win this game."
The laughter here also affected the Pistons.
Big Ben and the others looked towards the 76ers' bench. Why were they laughing so unrestrainedly in such a serious game?
......
The second quarter is about to begin.
"Wei Guo, do you want to rest for a while?"
"Brown asked."
"No need... I want to play the whole game!"
Wei Guo spoke with great determination; he not only wanted to win this match, but also to prove to Britney that he was a man with plenty of stamina.
"Does Weiguo never rest?"
Carlisle frowned and said to Big Ben, "You should stay on the court too... otherwise Wei will wreak havoc on our inside game."
The Pistons are on offense.
Atkins used his speed to break through, and the 1.8-meter-tall Atkins circled around Wei Guo and passed the ball to Big Ben.
Ben Wallace grabbed the basketball, stood up, and slammed it down!
Fuck you!
Wei Guo also jumped up, placing one hand on the basketball, and his three large hands completely covered the basketball.
"Bang!!!"
The basketball was jostled and sent flying into the air. Wei Guo and Da Ben collided and fell to the ground together.
Stadium: "......."
The stadium was completely silent; it was a pure contest of strength.
Bentley Bennett, who can bench press a whopping 408 pounds, could barely match the strength of Wei Guo's one hand with both of his.
If this scene hadn't happened...
Probably no one knows that the power of the State of Wei is so terrifying.
Wei Guo's physical test data for the draft showed a bench press of only 166 pounds, which was considered a good number among players. However, looking at it now... Wei Guo's physical test data and draft report are the biggest joke in the league in the 21st century.
With that kind of strength, he can only bench press 166 pounds?
and...
Wei Guo's draft report says: He can't play basketball. Is that what you call Wei Guo not being able to play basketball?
He can not only play ball...
Moreover, he can play in all five positions.
"Beep!!!"
Although the referee called a defensive foul on Wei Guo, Da Ben remained sitting on the ground in a daze.
........
Ben Wallace stepped up to the free-throw line.
I feel no pressure at all about fouling you.
Wei Guo said with a grin, "Because your free throws are terrible."
"bang~~~"
Big Ben missed his first free throw.
"I'm more accurate at free throws than you even with my back to the basket."
Wei Guo added insult to injury.
This story has a backstory; it's one of the most memorable moments in the league. Shaquille O'Neal once challenged Wei Guo, asking him if he could make free throws with his back to the basket. Wei Guo actually made two consecutive free throws with his back to the basket.
Daben, "!!!"
"bang~~~"
Big Ben missed his second free throw.
Wei Guo easily grabbed the rebound, then dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed it to Jones, and quickly positioned himself under the basket.
Jones then lobbed the ball to Weiguo.
Ben and Alexander double-teamed Wei Guo under the basket, and Wei Guo stepped back and shot a fadeaway jumper.
"Beep!!!"
"bang~~~"
The referee blew his whistle and called a foul on Big Ben for hitting Wei Guo's arm. Big Ben had hit Wei Guo's arm when he was shooting.
"well..."
Wei Guo sighed and walked to the free throw line.
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Both free throws were made.
Wei Guo shrugged and said to the Pistons players, "Didn't your head coach tell you that my field goal percentage is only 63% and my free throw percentage is 97%? It's such a foolish thing to foul when I'm shooting."
21:15!!
This is the largest point difference in the game so far.
The Pistons used their defense to keep the point difference firmly in place.
The second quarter has reached the ninth minute...
Atkins stole the ball, dribbled straight to the frontcourt, and shot from beyond the three-point line.
Carlisle clenched his fists instantly!
What is Atkins doing?! Is he trying to imitate Wei Guo...? He clearly had an open layup opportunity, but he chose to shoot a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
Carlisle released his fists and shouted, "Good shot!!!"
Then...
The 76ers committed another turnover, and Atkins dribbled straight up the court, flicked the ball beyond the three-point line, knocking away Iverson who was chasing after him. Atkins then took another three-point shot.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went in through the net again.
......
There are 1 minute and 57 seconds left in the first half.
37:37!!
The Pistons tied the score.
......
Brown stood on the sidelines and yelled, "Calm down! Don't make mistakes!"
Jones dribbles the ball up the court!
Atkins, who was already on a scoring spree, made another successful steal and then dribbled straight to the frontcourt.
Three steals in a row!
Atkins is about to make a difference... Iverson and Weiguo chased each other down the court at the same time, and Atkins hit another pull-up three-pointer, but this time... Iverson, who had caught up, barely managed to touch the basketball with his fingertips...
"bang~~~"
The basketball hit the rim.
Wei Guo rushed over, caught the ball in mid-air, and gestured to Brown with his eyes that he didn't need to call a timeout.
"Brother Wei, it's time for a one-on-one match!"
The 76ers' bench players looked excited.
Robinson had already replaced Alexander. After Wei Guo dribbled past midfield, he and Atkins came up to press him.
Butterflies flitting among flowers!!!
Wei Guo easily dribbled past the two defenders, and Stackhouse and Barry, who came to help defend, were shaken off by Wei Guo's Euro step.
Then...
Wei Guo has reached the basket!
Instead of going head-to-head with Ben Wallace, he did a 360-degree spin in mid-air to dodge Wallace's block and then hooked the ball backhand.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball landed steadily in the basket.
One against five!
Wei Guo used only defensive techniques.
......
The 76ers' bench erupted in cheers.
"Oh ho~~~"
"The league's best center played a joke on all the guards~~~"
"So handsome~~~"
......
Brown muttered to himself, "Although he hasn't accumulated any honors, in terms of strength, Wei Guo is already the number one player in the league."
The 76ers' management has not yet made any moves, but they are also very anxious.
The team only signed Wei Guo to a one-year contract, and he will become a free agent this summer.
More than one team is already making moves...
They are clearing salary space to lay a solid foundation for this summer's 'Battle for the Nation'.
......
The first half has ended.
41:39!!
The 76ers lead by 2 points.
In this game, the Pistons' offensive efficiency was quite good. They made some shots they should have made. More importantly, their defense made it extremely difficult for the 76ers to attack.
First half...
Allen Iverson led the 76ers with 17 points, while Wei Guo led the rebounders with 29 rebounds.
Wei Guo is the best rebounder in the league.
He grabbed 29 rebounds in the first half, which was not only due to his skill, but also his drive and the help of his teammates.
For example, some defensive rebounds.
Once the Pistons realize they can't grab the rebound, they quickly retreat on defense. And these rebounds all belong to Wei Guo, as well as Mutombo... In the last game against the Pistons, Mutombo only grabbed 3 rebounds. So far in this game, Mutombo has only grabbed 1 rebound. He just keeps boxing out the Pistons players under the basket, allowing Wei Guo to grab the rebounds more easily.
