Ken Young was surprised.
"Whoosh!!!"
O'Neal made his first free throw!
Subsequently...
"Whoosh!!!"
O'Neal made his second free throw!
Making one free throw is normal, but making two in a row is not O'Neal's true level. O'Neal excitedly ruffled Kenyon's hair.
"Fuck!"
Kenyon forcefully slapped O'Neal's large hand away, "What do you want to do?"
"I'll give you a little pampering," O'Neal laughed.
The referee ignored O'Neal's actions. Kenyon didn't like O'Neal's care and affection. Moreover, O'Neal's head pat was full of provocation, as if to tell Kenyon, "I made both free throws, and you not only scored but also committed a foul."
The honor of a superstar!
Wei Guo then responded to the Lakers by drawing a foul on a layup and making both free throws.
The process is the same...
The fans' reactions were different. It was normal for Wei Guo to make both free throws. When he stepped to the free throw line, the fans knew that he was bound to make both shots.
......
Wei Guo had a very leisurely summer last year.
There were no international events, and James and Curry only stayed at his house for a while. Wei Guo spent more time traveling around and engaging in some charity work.
Because Wei Guo discovered...
In many parts of China, physical education is not given much importance. The so-called physical education is just a way to select a few children with outstanding physical qualities to enter sports schools, while all other children devote themselves to exam-oriented education.
Wei Guo was very disgusted with this education model. Without it, he might have been able to get into a good university instead of having Wei Dafa spend money to send him to a university in the US to get a degree. In the end, he only joined the NbA because of the system.
If there is no system.
Wei Guo might be raising pigs at home now, and his achievements would definitely not be as great as Wei Dafa's.
Wei Guo was not grateful to the system, but rather because he considered the irrationality of this educational method. So last summer, Wei Guo donated to many Hope Primary Schools and traveled to many places to promote sports.
During this period...
Wei Guo invited some friends to help him, including O'Neal,
O'Neal also did an advertisement for China. Now, wherever he goes, he's always seen drinking beer with his brothers, so O'Neal and Wei Guo have a very close relationship.
......
There is 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the first quarter.
Nets on offense!
Stockton orchestrated the offense, but the Lakers' defense was tight. Wei Guo made several cuts and finally had an opportunity, so Stockton passed the ball to Wei Guo.
As Wei Guo received the ball, he raised his hand to shoot, but George pounced on him instantly.
The Zen master saw through Wei Guo's intentions and shouted, "This is a feint, don't fall for it!"
But...
This reminder comes too late.
George was already on top of Wei Guo, which was a defensive foul. With Wei Guo's experience, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately threw the ball towards the basket, accompanied by a shout, "Oops, damn it... foul!"
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle and called a foul on George.
George was very frustrated...
Wei Guo already had a chance to shoot when he received the ball, so why wait until he shoots, giving him a free foul?
It's a strange feeling. If Wei Guo had been fouled while shooting, George wouldn't have cared, since he had interfered with Wei Guo. Both the free throw and the shot had a chance of going in. But Wei Guo was just waiting for him to pounce on him to draw a foul.
It's possible that the league draws fouls in this era, but not often.
If George were to encounter a player named Harden more than ten years from now, he might be so angry that he would retire.
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Wei Guo stepped up to the free-throw line and made both shots.
George scoffed, "You call yourself the best player in the league, yet you resort to such a despicable tactic as drawing fouls."
George was very dissatisfied...
Little did he know that if he learned Wei Guo's skill in drawing fouls, his annual salary would increase by at least three million.
......
The first half has ended, with the Nets leading by 2 points.
The cheerleaders came to the center of the court, and their energetic dance was a beautiful sight to behold. The big screen in the arena was also playing videos of the Lakers' championship years.
The only teams in the league that can be called powerhouses are the Lakers and the Celtics.
The Lakers have won over a dozen championships, with superstars in every era, leading one era after another. Only the Celtics can compare to the Lakers. These powerhouses all have their own pride.
This is another home game...
The audience's support motivated the Lakers, but it also put pressure on them.
The home team's locker room was quiet, and the Zen Master patiently pointed out the shortcomings of the first half, especially those mistakes that shouldn't have been made, which the Zen Master singled out.
It's like a midterm exam. After the exam, the teacher returns the papers and corrects the mistakes. You have to reflect on the questions you got wrong, and only after reflecting can you improve. The second half is the final exam, which is much more important than the midterm exam because it determines your ranking in the class and whether you can get an award.
For many students, the final exams of the previous semester even determined whether they could have a good New Year.
Away game locker room.
The players and coaches sat around Wei Guo, listening to him explain his tactics for dealing with Kobe and Shaq.
Both teams have extensive Finals experience; they're not newcomers to the Finals. The Lakers, in particular, have been a regular in the Finals since Jordan retired.
For the Nets...
Wei Guo has already played in the Finals twice and won two championship trophies. The other players also have Finals experience, so they are not nervous during the game.
......
The second half of the game began fifteen minutes later.
The players returned to the field...
Wei Guo glanced at the audience seats and noticed that Wei Dafa wasn't there. He must have been feeling unwell due to a fever and had gone back to the hotel early.
Wei Dafa was very welcome to come to M country.
A few months ago was the Chinese New Year, but Wei Guo didn't go home to reunite with his family because he had to play matches. He and Wei Dafa had different schedules, so the father and son didn't communicate much.
otherwise...
Wei Guo wouldn't have only found out he was actually a super-rich second-generation heir after graduating from university.
Wei Dafa really did go back to the hotel. It wasn't that he found the game boring, but he was really exhausted. He had a fever and was also very sleepy. Despite the intense competition, he kept nodding and almost bumped into the trash can in front of him several times. He had brought his assistant with him on this trip, and the assistant also advised him to go back to the hotel.
Watching the game on a TV in a hotel is the same.
After returning to the hotel, Wei Dafa turned on the TV and saw that the second half of the game had started, with O'Neal receiving the ball under the basket!
Then...
Wei Dafa tilted his head to the side and fell asleep.
......
Lakers are on offense, O'Neal receives the ball under the basket!
Mourningka positioned herself behind O'Neal, using her lower body to block him and prevent him from turning around.
O'Neal slaps the ball with both hands!
He pointed to his elbow, trying to use his physical advantage to create space for his shot. No Nets player came up to help defend, and the Lakers had more than just O'Neal as an offensive threat.
"Stop him!"
Mourning silently thought to himself, "He's no longer the peak Shaq."
By this year, O'Neal was in the twilight of his career. Although he was still the best center in the league and ranked in the top ten in the MVP list!
but...
Some fans have already come to regard Kobe as the leader of the Lakers.
The escalating conflict between Kobe and Shaq is also one of the Lakers' unstable factors this season. When Shaq has the ball under the basket, Kobe runs around the baseline to receive the ball.
Shaquille O'Neal has his own pride!
Mourning was taking advantage of his old age and weakness, and O'Neal couldn't tolerate that. So he jumped over Mourning and slammed the ball down with one hand!
"Bang!!!"
The rim was bent by O'Neal's grip, and Mourning was knocked out of bounds.
Gentry fell silent. "O'Neal's angry. He's getting serious!"
How terrifying is Shaquille O'Neal when he gets serious?
Before entering the league, O'Neal could be said to have the potential to become the best player in the league. Whether it was his physique or his skills, he was an outstanding player at the center position. However, O'Neal also had a weakness: laziness!
right...
After joining the Lakers, O'Neal became lazy.
Neglecting training and even overeating, especially after winning two consecutive championships, O'Neal's attitude towards the game changed, and these were all stumbling blocks on his path to becoming the greatest of all time.
Shaquille O'Neal enjoys many privileges in the league...
51:51!!
This dunk over Mourning helped the Lakers tie the game.
Nets on offense!
Wei Guo went one-on-one against Kobe, but missed a mid-range shot. O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound again, and Kobe was already running up the court.
"Catch the ball!!!"
O'Neal yelled and threw the ball forward.
When Wei Guo chased after Kobe, he was still five meters away from him. By the time Kobe received the basketball, Wei Guo was only one meter away from catching up with him.
Kobe didn't hesitate at all!
He catches the ball, takes a step forward, jumps, and swings his arm in a wide arc to dunk like a windmill.
The defense of the country came to a halt...
There's no point in chasing after him now. If Kobe goes for a layup, Wei Guo will give him a big block. However, Kobe chooses to do a windmill dunk. If Wei Guo makes any physical contact with Kobe, it will be a foul.
"Bang!!!"
Kobe scored with a dunk under the watchful eyes of Wei Guo.
51:53!!
The Lakers took a 2-point lead.
Wei Guo was standing still, preparing to serve, when Kobe Bryant turned around and bumped into Wei Guo's shoulder, whether intentionally or not.
......
Huaxia Live Room.
Old Xu: "Oh? Kobe bumped into Weiguo."
Old Yang, "Is this a provocation?"
Old Xu: "Hahaha... Look at Wei Guo's expression, it's like he's not smiling."
Old Yang: "Interesting. Kobe probably didn't do it on purpose."
......
Hill ran to the baseline and took the basketball from the referee.
Wei Guo, receive the ball!
Kobe lowered his center of gravity and assumed a defensive stance, saying, "Come on, let me see what you've got."
Wei Guo dribbled the ball slowly between his legs, noticing Kenyon sneaking to the basket. Wei Guo then turned around, the basketball spun around his waist, and flew with an arc to Kenyon's left front.
Kenyon was already ready to catch the ball. He jumped up, grabbed the basketball in mid-air, and used all his strength!
"Thunderbolt Slam Dunk!!!"
Kenyon even let out a rather childish shout before slamming the ball into the basket.
Wei Guo's pass was absolutely brilliant. He practically threw the ball with his back to the basket, and the ball even had a spin in the air. Apart from Kenyon, no one realized that Wei Guo had made a pass.
even...
Those who didn't know the situation thought that Wei Guo had given up on himself and was throwing the ball haphazardly off the field.
"Number one of the top ten assists in the Finals!"
Gentry chuckled and exclaimed, "A pass from God! Kenyon's thunderous dunk!"
53:53!!
Wei Guo's assist did not affect the course of the game.
O'Neal and Kobe went on a scoring spree in the third quarter. O'Neal guarded the paint, Kobe defended the perimeter, Hill was shut down by Kobe, and Mourning and Kenyon also struggled to score in the paint.
and...
Mourning was completely unable to defend against Shaquille O'Neal when he was playing seriously.
The Lakers are extremely determined to win!
......
The third quarter has ended.
71:79!!
The Lakers lead by 8 points.
"Defeat the Nets!"
"Defeat the Nets!"
"Defeat the Nets!"
The crowd's cheers made it seem as if the Lakers had already won the game.
The game has entered the fourth quarter!
Wei Guo, Kobe, and O'Neal all stayed on the court without rest.
The Nets made a substitution...
Kiddles replaced Hill, who only managed 7 points on 3-of-11 shooting under Kobe's defense, a very poor performance!
This substitution wasn't about pinning their scoring hopes on Kiddles, but Hill is currently completely out of sorts and isn't suitable to stay on the court for the rest of the game. Besides, the fourth quarter has just begun, and it's only right for a key player like him to rest for a few minutes.
Nets on offense!
Kidds ran towards his familiar baseline corner, and Wei Guo broke through and passed the ball to Kidds.
"Whoosh!!!"
Kiddles hits his first three-pointer!
74:79!!
The Nets are down by 5 points.
This gave the Nets quite a surprise; Kiddels was like a cold-blooded killer.
Lakers on offense!
Kobe responded with a three-pointer, and the Lakers then put the Nets on the offensive again!
Kobe steals the ball from Jefferson!
As the basketball flew towards the frontcourt, Tyronn Lue dove to catch it in his arms, and Fisher pounced to steal the ball from Lue's arms. The referee called a jump ball!
The call on this play was somewhat biased towards the Lakers!
From the alliance's perspective...
This is not only a sports league, but also a business league. They don't want the finals to be played in four games; it would be best if it could be played in five, six, or seven games!
After all, the more games you play, the more money you earn!
Last season, the Nets were swept by the Rockets, which was inevitable, as there was a difference in the number of wins between the two teams. However, this year's Finals are between the Nets and the Lakers, and both teams are extremely popular!
The jump ball between Tyronn Lue and Derek Fisher was really ugly!
Two short people, each about 1.8 meters tall...
Fisher touched the ball first, but he tipped it into Wei Guo's hands!
Wei Guo receives the ball and launches a fast break...
Kobe and George double-teamed him from the left and right. Wei Guo dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the free throw line, then suddenly turned and was outside the three-point line, but he did not shoot.
Kidds has another open three-point opportunity!
Without hesitation, Wei Guo passed the ball to Kiddles, who then launched a three-pointer!
