The second half of the game has begun.
49:45!!
The 76ers have only a 4-point lead.
This difference...
Wei Guo was very dissatisfied because he felt that the Lakers were not as strong as the 76ers.
This season's Lakers are a duo of Shaq and Kobe; it's just that these two are so talented that no player can stop them from scoring.
But...
The Lakers aren't the best team in the West, while the 76ers are the best team in the East.
Lakers on offense.
Kobe received a pass from Fisher on the wing, faced Harpring's defense, and used a series of fakes to turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
49:47!!
As Brown said, the Lakers' biggest threat is Kobe.
It's not that Kobe's current ability surpasses Shaq's, it's just that Shaq had Weiguo's defense, and Weiguo put too much pressure on Shaq in terms of physical confrontation.
The man who owns the 'Bill Russell trading card'.
that is...
Wei Guo's defense under the basket is among the best in the league.
When it was the 76ers' turn to attack, Iverson was not to be outdone, hitting a mid-range pull-up jumper.
Tonight's match is destined to be extraordinary!
More than five minutes into the third quarter, the game remained closely contested.
The rivalry between Wei Guo and O'Neal intensified, and O'Neal's temper flared up. He had been in the league for almost ten years and had faced many top centers, but few could handle him like Wei Guo.
...
The Zen master called for a pause once, and after the pause...
Kobe drove to the basket and passed the ball to O'Neal near the free-throw line. O'Neal received the ball and immediately started his run.
That's going to be a powerful dunk!
Wei Guo positioned himself and attempted to block O'Neal's dunk as O'Neal jumped, but O'Neal made a small layup in mid-air.
Wei Guo grabbed O'Neal's arms with both hands.
"Bang!!!"
This time, it was O'Neal who dragged Wei Guo down for a dunk!
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
"Squeak..."
This caused heartbreaking sounds to be heard from the stadium staff.
"boom ~~~"
The basketball hoop broke in half again and then collapsed!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
The fans went completely crazy. The fact that the basketball hoop was pulled down twice in a row is unbelievable. When they get home tonight, no matter how they explain it to their families, they won't believe them.
,,,,,,,,
When has the league ever seen a basketball hoop be knocked down twice in a single game?
Huaxia Live Room.
Old Xu: "The intensity of this match was extremely high."
Old Yang said, "Wei Guo is proving that this is the rise of Chinese basketball."
Old Xu: "In one game, the basketball hoop was pulled down twice. Wei Guo and O'Neal were really going at it."
Old Yang: "Yes, I hope it won't happen a third time."
........
This worry is unnecessary; O'Neal pulled down the basketball hoop because he was holding back a lot of energy.
But...
As the game progressed into the third quarter, the players' stamina was waning, making it virtually impossible for O'Neal to pull the basketball hoop back up again.
The match has been forced to stop!
This is definitely the longest game in league history, and this is the third time it has been suspended due to unforeseen circumstances.
The first time was when Wei Guo pulled down the basketball hoop.
The second time was when Wei Guo dunked the basket crookedly.
The third time was when O'Neal pulled down the basketball hoop.
This time, the players didn't return to the locker room, leaving not only the staff bewildered but also the players. So they sat on the bench watching the staff replace the basketball hoops.
Basketball hoop: (；′⌒`)
The most wronged thing is that O'Neal and Weiguo, without any sportsmanship, were messing around with this basketball hoop.
It seemed to sense the mockery of the opposing basketball hoop. In the first half, the 76ers attacked this hoop, and Wei Guo tore it apart. In the second half, the Lakers attacked this hoop, and O'Neal tore it apart again. This game was incredibly dramatic.
"This time it's not my fault."
Wei Guo looked completely innocent. "It was O'Neal who broke the basketball hoop."
Brown sighed, "You guys are forcing basketball hoop manufacturers to upgrade their products."
Some fans couldn't help but leave the stadium.
Even if this is the finals, even if this game is incredibly exciting, if I stay up any longer, my mom will scold me when I get home.
........
Forty minutes later, the game restarted.
The third quarter ended peacefully.
71:70!!
The 76ers are only leading by one point.
Despite the basketball hoop being torn apart twice, the game was still breathtaking.
Brown said, "Weiguo, you need to increase your ball-handling and attacking, and let Mutombo grab the rebounds for you."
"good!"
Wei Guo sat on the sidelines.
This match...
No player had any fatigue issues because they had rested for so long, so the physical contact would be even stronger in the fourth quarter.
Shaq, Kobe, Weiguo, Iverson!
At the start of the fourth quarter, all four players returned to the court.
Iverson has the ball!
Mid-range pull-up jump shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went into the net.
73:70!!
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Brown stood on the sidelines, shouting loudly.
The players on the court were running desperately. Fisher dribbled to the three-point line. Wei Guo noticed that Fisher's eyes were looking at the basketball. "Haplin, go and defend him!"
"good!"
Harprin immediately moved to the three-point line.
really...
Fisher took the shot, but the basketball was deflected in mid-air by Harprin's fingertips, changing its trajectory.
O'Neal braced himself with his left arm, trying to push Wei Guo aside. Wei Guo was not to be outdone, and he also used his body to block O'Neal. The basketball was still in the air when Wei Guo and O'Neal were already locked in a fierce battle.
"bang~~~"
The ball hit the rim and bounced away.
O'Neal and Wei Guo jumped during their tug-of-war, and the two flicked the ball into the air. After landing, Wei Guo quickly jumped up and caught the basketball in mid-air with one hand, protecting it in his arms.
"Back on defense!"
The Zen master shouted.
At this time...
Iverson had already run up the court, with Kobe chasing after him.
"Catch!"
Wei Guo shouted and swung his arm to throw the ball forward.
Iverson gets the basketball and goes for a layup!
*Smack!!!*
Kobe caught up and blocked Iverson's shot.
"Bang!!!"
Iverson lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee did not blow the whistle...
Kobe, with a sullen face, didn't even glance at Iverson before taking the ball and launching an attack.
The same!
Iverson got up from the floor and ran towards the frontcourt without saying a word. This game was just that intense, with both Kobe and Iverson showing such a strong desire to win.
The two of them respected each other!
If off the field...
The two can be good friends, but on the court, they are opponents! They won't show each other any mercy.
Kobe dribbles the ball up the court!
He paused briefly, then drove past Harprin and attacked the basket.
Mutombo stood under the basket, jumped to block Kobe's shot, and the two made physical contact in the air. Kobe managed to maintain his balance and released the ball as he fell.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the hoop.
73:72!!
It's still a one-point difference.
The players on the bench couldn't sit still and all stood up... It was an offensive show by Iverson and Kobe, with O'Neal and Weiguo trading blows under the basket.
"I'm at a bit of a loss..."
Coach Thompson muttered, "Wei Guo's individual ability is no less than O'Neal's. This kind of attrition against O'Neal actually gives the Lakers an advantage."
Time ticked by, second by second...
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, both teams' key players returned to the court.
Iverson continued his offensive onslaught!
Use continuous crossover dribbling to find shooting space, then pull up and shoot.
"Whoosh!!!"
Another hit!
Although Kobe blocked one of his layups, Iverson had already scored 7 points in the fourth quarter.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Fans chanted along with the DJ, cheering for the 76ers!
It's almost midnight...
The match has been going on for nearly four hours.
Kobe broke through and passed the ball to Shaq, who then flew towards the basket, attempting a two-handed dunk.
Wei Guo had already blocked O'Neal's offensive route in advance.
"Bang!!!"
O'Neal crashed into Wei Guo, sending him flying.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle and called an offensive foul on O'Neal.
O'Neal slammed the basketball to the ground. "That was a legitimate charge, how did it become an offensive foul?"
But the referee ignored O'Neal.
O'Neal angrily retorted, "Wei Guo was flopping! You can't call a technical foul on me just because he fell!"
"Diving???"
The 76ers players were stunned when they heard that.
Even Kobe silently took a step back...
Shaquille O'Neal charged at the basket with all his might, like a tank crashing into it. If it were an ordinary person, they would be seriously injured.
Change of possession!
Wei Guo was bumped by O'Neal and felt a tightness in his chest for a long time. He received the ball on the weak side, dribbled two steps to the basket, and was blocked in front of O'Neal.
Combine!
Turn around!
The move was fluid and seamless. Wei Guo faked out O'Neal, but because O'Neal was too big, Wei Guo ended up with his back to the basket after the fake.
But Wei cannot hesitate...
This is a set of movements; if there is even the slightest pause while defending the country, it is a traveling violation.
so!
Wei Guo jumped directly, found the position of the basket by feel, and slammed it in with a reverse hand!
"Bang!!!"
The basketball was smashed into the hole.
"Oh ho ho~~~"
That was a fantastic goal! The 76ers' bench players were waving towels excitedly, shouting, "Wei is awesome!"
85:81!!
The 76ers led by 4 points with 5 minutes and 39 seconds remaining in the game.
"Next!"
Wei Guo finally revealed his murderous intent: "I'm going to take over the game!"
Kobe Bryant is on offense with the ball...
Wei Guo used a deadly grip, and the moment Kobe turned around, he thrust his left hand forward and stole the ball.
Without hesitation!
Wei Guo lunged forward and grabbed the basketball, dribbled straight to the frontcourt, and jumped just inside the free-throw line.
The audience all stood up!
Then we saw Wei Guo perform a between-the-legs switch in mid-air and slam the ball into the basket.
"Wow!!!"
The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.
When the game reaches a critical moment, a dunk is the best way to boost morale, especially since Wei Guo even completed a between-the-legs dunk.
........
Many fans are silently thinking, "I won't watch next year's Slam Dunk Contest without Wei Guo."
........
Wei Guo's dunks were spectacular, not just because of his explosive physical talent.
'Spud Webber trading card'
'Vince Carter trading card'
Wei Guo possesses both of these player cards; he drew Webber at the beginning of the season and Carter at the end of the season.
87:81!!
Although the 76ers were only leading by 6 points, Coach Thompson sat back on the bench, feeling at ease.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The outcome of this match was already decided.
O'Neal's one-on-one attempt against Wei Guo failed once again. Mutombo grabbed the defensive rebound, and Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt, faked a shot, and passed the ball to Wei Guo.
Wei Guo, receive the ball!
He dodged O'Neal's block with a folding layup in mid-air and slammed the ball into the basket!
Another spectacular dunk!
"mVp!"
"mVp!"
"mVp!"
That was the sentiment expressed at the scene.
89:81!!
The 76ers are now leading by 8 points.
The Zen Master called a timeout; they had to curb the 76ers' offensive momentum.
"When Wei Guo gets the ball, Fox, you should already be covering!"
The Zen master clenched his fists and said, "The State of Wei poses a great threat to us."
If we can't defend against Wei Guo... it will be very difficult to win this game. The Zen Master knew this, but at this crucial moment, he couldn't say it out loud, as it would be too demoralizing.
"Fight like this!"
Brown said casually, "After the timeout, you have to stop this attack no matter what."
......
The timeout ends, and the Lakers launch an attack.
Kobe was double-teamed by Harpring and Iverson when he had the ball. O'Neal yelled, "Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
Kobe did not pass the ball.
He turned and leaned back, forcefully launching his attack!
"bang~~~"
The basketball bounced off the rim, and Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound.
Shaquille O'Neal looked at Kobe Bryant and demanded, "Why didn't you pass the ball?!"
Kobe didn't say anything, just ran towards the frontcourt... O'Neal's performance tonight was even worse than his; O'Neal failed to score against Wei Guo in several one-on-one situations.
The 76ers' offense was disrupted.
Wei Guo received a pass from Iverson and made a layup.
This pass and cut was very quick. Before O'Neal could help defend, Horry turned to block Wei Guo.
"Bang!!!"
When Wei Guo knocked Horry away, he slammed the ball onto the backboard.
A pop-up window appears to request internet access!
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew the whistle, and Horry was delighted; his defense had been very successful.
"Blocking foul!"
But the referee put his hands on his hips and called a blocking foul on Horry.
2+1!!!
Wei Guo walks towards the penalty line.
"Whoosh!!!"
The free throw was made.
92:81!!
Brown breathed a sigh of relief; the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt.
...
The final four minutes were still intense, but the Lakers were powerless to turn the tide.
The turning point of the game...
Actually, it was Wei Guo's fast break layup after stealing the ball from Kobe.
"Beep!!!"
The match ended with the referee's whistle.
101:95!!
The 76ers defeated the Lakers at home, winning the first game of the NBA Finals.
