Wei Guo's buttocks weren't large, but his lower body was surprisingly stable.
This is the power of combining the 'Karl Malone trading card' and the 'Shaquille O'Neal trading card'.
O'Neal was wrong from the start...
He's not a player who relies solely on brute force; by stubbornly pushing Wei Guo, he also put himself in a dead ball situation.
Fortunately...
Kobe burst out from the weak side, shouting, "Shaquille, give me the ball!"
O'Neal immediately passed the ball to Kobe, who caught it and used a reverse layup to avoid Wei Guo's block.
"Whoosh!!!"
Kobe put the ball into the basket.
4:2!!!
The Lakers started scoring; that's the power of the OK combination.
......
In the Huaxia live broadcast room, Lao Xu and Lao Yang were also commentating on the match.
Old Yang said, "Even O'Neal couldn't move Wei Guo, which is something I didn't expect."
Old Xu said, "From this perspective, the strength of the Weiguo (Weiguo) is among the best in history."
Old Yang: "I saw an article yesterday called 'The Disappearing Scouts'."
"Old Xu, are you referring to the scout in Weiguo's scouting report?"
Old Yang said, "Wei Guo is like those young heroes in martial arts novels, who have already mastered their skills before leaving the mountain, just waiting to become famous in the martial arts world."
Old Xu, "It's true that his kung fu is highly accomplished, but how much kung fu he actually knows is still a mystery."
........
The 76ers are on offense, and Iverson's pull-up jumper misses.
O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Fisher. Lakers head coach Jackson had already noticed something was wrong and stood on the sidelines reminding him, "Shaquille, don't force your way onto Weiguo!"
In the first two baskets, O'Neal's attempts to attack Wei Guo under the basket were not very effective.
Wei Guo seems to know O'Neal's offensive style very well...
He was able to use his defense to prevent O'Neal from getting any shot opportunities. It seems that Wei Guo's strength is no less than O'Neal's, and Wei Guo has better speed and jumping ability, as well as a longer wingspan.
The Lakers are in position.
Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Kemba Walker formed a triangle on the strong side, while Derek Fisher and Derek Fox waited for their chance on the weak side. This was Phil Jackson's famous triangle offense.
O'Neal and Walker ran around... a few passes of the ball, and Kobe was put in a one-on-one situation against Iverson.
Iverson guarded Kobe closely, Kobe faked several times, turned and shot, and Iverson jumped up to block... This scene has happened before in previous games between the 76ers and the Lakers.
"bang~~~"
Kobe missed his shot.
O'Neal was positioned in front of Wei Guo, but... Wei Guo jumped too high, and with a stretch of his long arm, he still managed to grab the defensive rebound over O'Neal's head.
Cummings pulled out his notebook, muttering to himself, "Rebound +1. If he keeps playing center, Wei will definitely win the rebounding title."
Height + jumping ability!!!
Moreover, Wei Guo has a good awareness of rebounding. In the games when Mutombo was injured, Wei Guo averaged 16.7 rebounds and once won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award.
One-third of the regular season has passed...
Wei Guo is ranked first in the MVP list, and at this rate, he is very likely to win the regular season MVP in his rookie season.
......
Iverson dribbled the ball up the court, and Brown crossed his arms over his chest without saying a word.
Ever since Wei Guo joined the team, Brown has felt that Iverson was the good kid!
Some people used to say that Iverson didn't participate in training, but compared to Wei Guo, Iverson seemed much more diligent... Wei Guo only once went to the gym at four in the morning to train and even played one-on-one with all his teammates.
Brown also publicly praised Wei Guo.
Can...
Since then, I haven't seen Wei Guo in the mornings, nor have I seen him do any shooting or strength training. He only participates in team tactical training.
On another occasion, while his teammates were training diligently, Wei Guo actually went to chat with the cheerleaders. This infuriated Brown, who publicly reprimanded Wei Guo and fined him 1,000 yuan!
Wei Guo, whose salary was reduced to only three or four hundred thousand yuan after taxes, didn't even blink when he was fined a thousand yuan.
Although I don't like Weiguo's attitude towards training...
But Brown must admit that Wei Guo is constantly getting stronger, and he can step up when the team needs him. For example, when Mutombo was injured, Wei Guo stepped up to the center position without hesitation.
......
Wei Guo's shooting is very threatening, and when the 76ers are on offense, O'Neal doesn't dare to leave Wei Guo open.
So before the game, Brown instructed Wei Guo to move Olney to the perimeter so that his teammates could attack the basket more often.
Good tactics...
However, Wei Guo refused, saying that O'Neal had already made a bold statement, so he had to beat O'Neal.
Iverson made a bounce pass while moving!
Wei Guo received the ball, quickly turned around, and jumped.
"Bang!!!"
Another powerful two-handed dunk!
6:2!!!
After landing, Wei Guo humbly remarked, "For players who don't have a shooting range, dunking is the safest way to score."
There's nothing wrong with that statement...
But when Wei Guo said it, it took on a different meaning, because Wei Guo had the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league.
......
Less than three minutes into the game, Jackson called a timeout.
"pause!!!"
Jackson had to make adjustments because his previous defensive tactics were flawed.
Before the match...
Jackson believed that Wei Guo would take advantage of his shooting ability to pull up to the outside and shoot three-pointers, so the initial tactic was to have Kobe defend Wei Guo and Walker help defend and disrupt Wei Guo's shot. However, all three of the 76ers' effective attacks came from Wei Guo's strong attacks under the basket.
O'Neal was caught off guard.
Jackson reminded the players, "Pay special attention to Iverson on defense. Even if you let him go one-on-one, you have to disrupt his connection with Weiguo."
On offense, Walker and Fisher would cut and move around, creating one-on-one opportunities for Kobe.
"Coach, what about me?"
O'Neal was somewhat dissatisfied that the offensive tactics did not mention him.
Jackson frowned. "The league has never had a big man like Wei Guo before. You should have felt Wei Guo's defense against you just now. His strength is different from what you see on the video, so you need to get used to Wei Guo's defense first."
Jackson truly deserves to be called a championship coach!
In several previous matches, the opposing head coach was somewhat inexperienced and underestimated Wei Guo's abilities tactically, ultimately suffering a great loss.
......
After the timeout, the Lakers executed the offensive tactics instructed by Jackson.
Kobe Bryant took on Coleman one-on-one and made a fadeaway jumper!
6:4!!
"What's the meaning?!"
After Kobe scored, Wei Guo loudly protested for O'Neal, saying, "Why were you completely ignored on offense? You're the Lakers' leader!"
"You talk too much!"
Just a few minutes into the game, O'Neal was almost driven crazy by Wei Guo, saying, "Can't you just play seriously?"
