Away game locker room.
Brown reminded the players, "The game is intense, so everyone must take good care of themselves."
The playoffs are about to begin...
The chances of winning the championship this year are even greater than last year. If any players get injured at this time, it would be a huge loss.
"certainly..."
Brown looked at Wei Guo and said, "You've already grabbed 29 rebounds in this game. We hope you can break your personal rebounding record."
As of now...
Wei Guo's individual single-game records are: 67 points, 41 rebounds, 22 assists, 7 steals, and 13 blocks.
It's hard to imagine that this is a rookie's individual single-game record; many of these records are ones that even superstars can only dream of achieving throughout their entire careers.
......
The third quarter of the game.
The players' stamina began to decline, and the pace of the game slowed down.
However, his shooting percentage also started to decline...
Ben Wallace and Robinson continued to double-team Wei Guo, preventing him from receiving the ball or taking a shot.
Even if Wei Guo gets the offensive rebound...
It won't be so easy for him to launch a second attack.
Cummings couldn't help but worry, "I have a feeling that Wei's stamina is declining."
His worries were not unfounded.
Wei Guo's stamina was really dropping. With the third quarter about to end, Wei Guo noticed that the score was still very close, so he decisively used a 'stamina rune'.
This is the first time the Wei Kingdom has used the 'Stamina Rune'.
As the runes scattered golden light, Wei Guo suddenly felt an unprecedented surge of energy, a feeling he had never experienced before, even before the start of the competition.
......
The third quarter has ended.
67:63!!
The 76ers led by 4 points, and Wei Guo grabbed 9 rebounds in the fourth quarter, bringing his total to 38.
Breaking his personal rebounding record is a done deal!
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Wei Guo refused Brown's request for him to rest and resolutely returned to the court.
All the teammates were deeply moved...
This shows how strong his desire to win is. Wei Guo said last time that he would crush the Pistons, and he must keep his promise.
Williams missed his shot... Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound.
Jones received Wei Guo's shot but missed.
Wei Guo leaped into the air, caught the basketball, and dunked it into the basket.
40 rebounds!!!
Wei Guo has grabbed his 40th rebound of the game.
With their focus on defense, Wei Guo reduced their offensive attempts, and their players' shooting percentage continued to decline, but neither team dared to recklessly attack the basket.
The Pistons have Ben Wallace and Robinson in the frontcourt.
The 76ers' frontcourt includes Wei Guo and Mutombo.
"bang~~~"
41 rebounds!
"bang~~~"
42 rebounds!
......
"bang~~~"
50 rebounds!!!
Cummings' hands trembled with excitement as he jumped up from the bench, completely ignoring everyone's stares. "50 rebounds!!! Who else??? Who else???"
......
The Pistons called a timeout!
87:83!!
With 17 seconds left in the game, the Pistons were down by 4 points.
Carlisle said, "Ben, Robinson...you two abandon your defense on Weiguo, cut from the weak side after the inbound pass, and create a three-point shooting opportunity for Atkins!"
This shot...
We must take a three-pointer.
"If the shot goes in and the 76ers don't call a timeout, then foul immediately, and wait until Weiguo takes the free throws..."
Carlisle whispered a tactic.
Carlisle did not allow the team's leading scorer Stackhouse to take the final shot, but instead gave it to Atkins, who had played well in the game.
......
Pause ended!
Ben Wallace and Robinson circled out from the inside, Atkins received the ball, and took a shot from two steps away from the three-point line.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
87:86!!
The Pistons are down by only one point with 13 seconds left in the game.
There was no need for the 76ers to call a timeout.
The Pistons will definitely execute a fouling strategy, so all we need to do is pass the ball to Wei Guo.
......
Wei Guo received the ball, the Pistons fouled him, and Wei Guo went to the free throw line.
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Wei Guo made both free throws.
89:86!!
The 76ers still hold a three-point lead.
There are only 7 seconds left in the game.
Everyone thought the Pistons would call another timeout...
But they didn't. Robinson slipped to the baseline and quickly inbounded the ball, while Atkins dribbled straight to the frontcourt.
"quick..."
Brown said something and then suddenly stopped.
At this point, fouling is the wisest move. Fouling Atkins sends him to the free-throw line. Even if he makes both free throws, the Pistons will still be down by one point, and possession will return to the 76ers. Even if the Pistons continue to use fouling tactics, the 76ers have Wei Guo, whose free-throw percentage is close to 100%.
Atkins dribbled to the three-point line with two seconds left in the game, and Jones pounced on him.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
A last-minute equalizer!
"ah!!!"
Atkins tore at his jersey and roared as he hit two three-pointers in the final 17 seconds to force overtime.
Cummings was holding back a laugh... the 76ers players were holding back a laugh... Brown was holding back a laugh... Atkins' shot sent the game into overtime.
Most of the players on both teams were exhausted, but Wei Guo seemed unaffected. Wei Guo's stamina made the outcome of overtime a foregone conclusion.
......
Overtime begins.
Stackhouse missed a shot, and Weiguo grabbed the defensive rebound!
51 rebounds!
Iverson missed his shot, and Wei Guo grabbed the offensive rebound and scored.
52 rebounds!
Robinson missed his shot, and Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound.

Coleman missed his shot, and Wei Guo grabbed the offensive rebound and scored.
103:91!!
The match is over!
In the 5-minute overtime, Wei Guo scored 14 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and blocked 3 shots!
......
