Wei Guo and Garnett had the same number of rebounds.
Let's see in the last match...
Coincidentally, whoever had the most rebounds in this final game became the rebounding champion.
The Rockets will try to limit Garnett's rebounding, and the Jazz will try to limit Weiguo's rebounding.
......
April 20th, the last day of the regular season.
After tonight, the teams that make the playoffs will begin preparing for the playoffs, while the teams that fail to make the playoffs can pack up their fishing rods and go fishing.
Sixty or seventy pounds of silver carp and bighead carp were waiting for them...
The game between the Suns and the Jazz had no impact on the standings of either team, but it was broadcast live across the entire network, with viewership ratings approaching those of the Christmas Day games.
The Jazz and the Suns have no long-standing rivalry.
All the resentment stems from the defense, and it can't be said that Salt Lake City fans are petty; it's probably just part of their city's culture.
Speaking of which...
That year, Wei Guo beat Malone badly. The following season, Wei Guo played the Jazz every time he faced them, and the Jazz suffered crushing defeats in every game.
However, few of the original core players remain. Head coach Sloan retired and returned to his hometown, and the Utah Jazz duo went their separate ways after the season. Malone went to the Lakers, Stockton went to the Nets, and most of the remaining players have left in the last two years. During the season dominated by Wei Guo, only Collins and Harplin remained among the veteran players.
This is also an awkward point...
Halprin witnessed Wei Guo's brutal beating of the Jazz, but he was also Wei Guo's former teammate. Wherever he went, Halprin would say that Wei Guo was his good older brother!
......
Starting lineup for this match:
Jazz: Bell, Harpling, Humphries, Collins, Okur
Suns: Barbosa, Richardson, Jackson, Marion, Weiguo
......
Jazz head coach Snyder was under a lot of pressure. When Wei Guo was beating the Jazz, he was an assistant coach on another team.
This has absolutely nothing to do with him...
But if he doesn't take this game seriously, the boos from the fans will not only be directed at Wei Guo, but also at the Jazz. He also understands that this is a battle between Wei Guo and Garnett for the rebounding title, so apart from guard Bell, the other four players on the Jazz roster are all over two meters tall.
Even the shortest one, Halprin, is 2.01 meters tall.
Humphries, Collins, and Okur are all capable of playing the center position, so their attitude is that they can lose the game, but they must grab the rebounds!
"Shh~~~"
"Shh~~~"
"Shh~~~"
As soon as Wei Guo appeared on stage, boos erupted from the audience.
The most embarrassed people weren't Wei Guo, but Halprin and Bale. They were so embarrassed they could dig a hole in the floor with their toes. They wanted to yell at the fans, even beat them up, but they couldn't do that.
If we really did that...
Even Wei Guo could not spare these two.
Bell and Harpring were both key players for the Jazz. They were both teammates of Wei Guo during their time with the 76ers. After Wei Guo left the 76ers, Bell and Harpring left one after another. Harpring went to the Jazz, while Bell played for the Mavericks for a year before being traded to the Jazz.
then...
Bell and Cummings, both benchwarmers, have a very good relationship. They are both the first to arrive at the stadium and the most diligent in practice.
As time went by, their career trajectories changed. Bell worked his way up from a bench player to a starter, while Cummings already had three championship rings.
......
The game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets has been going on for half an hour.
Before the first half was even over, Garnett had already grabbed 11 rebounds. Garnett's career-high rebound record is 25, and he is very likely to break it tonight.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle blew, and the Suns' game began!
Wei Guo passed the ball to Barbosa, who dribbled to the frontcourt and passed it to Richardson. Richardson took a step and jumped, shooting over Humphries.
Humphries, standing at 2.11 meters tall, was more than ten centimeters taller than Richardson!
He easily disrupted Richardson's shot...
"bang~~~"
The basketball bounced off the rim!
Collins and Okur sandwiched Weiguo like a hamburger, making it difficult for Weiguo to even exert force against them. The ball bounced away and was caught by Marion.
"Yay! Yay! Yay!"
The audience was cheering; they didn't care about the outcome of the game, as long as Wei Guo didn't get the rebound.
Marion grabbed the offensive rebound, handed the ball to Wei Guo, who shoved past Okur and Collins and unleashed a powerful two-handed dunk!
"You guys are too soft!"
Wei Guo snorted and strolled leisurely to the back field.
He has received too many honors...
It's just a rebounding title, what's wrong with giving it to Garnett?
But if the Jazz are targeting him like this, preventing him from getting rebounds, then sorry... Wei Guo is definitely going to be the rebounding king!
Jazz on offense!
Their roster lacks an offensive leader, and their scoring ability is generally average. The team's core players, Boozer and Kirilenko, are both out injured. Among the remaining players, Harprin and Bell have the highest average points per game.
actually...
Even if Boozer and Kirilenko can play, they pose no threat to the Suns.
Bell stops the ball just outside the three-point line!
Harprin came out to receive the ball and passed it to Collins in the paint, who then faced off against Marion one-on-one.
"Whoosh!!!"
With a simple step, Collins found a shooting space and scored a layup.
2:2!!!
Marion scratched his head, realizing he had been careless... He prided himself on being able to defend positions one through five and being the team's little defender. If he couldn't even stop Collins, who only averaged 4 points per game, how could he have the nerve to play in the playoffs?
The game would be much simpler if Nash and Stoudemire were on the court.
Even if these two players don't play, the two teams are not on the same level. Moreover, Wei Guo is still on the court. From the first quarter, the Jazz were dominated by the Suns and had no chance to fight back. By the end of the first half, the Jazz were already down by 17 points.
This is only because the Suns are giving us face...
Facing his former teammates Harpring and Bell, Wei Guo did not go all out on defense, even though these two were the offensive core of the Jazz. It was because of these two that the Jazz were not completely crushed by the Suns in the first half.
......
Tonight's main objective is rebounding!
The Jazz were determined not to let Wei Guo become the rebounding leader, and by the end of the first half, Wei Guo had only grabbed 9 rebounds.
