"Just vent your emotions, you still need to get back to the competition."
Coach Thompson cautioned, "The league has a rule that if a player leaves the court without cause during a game, they may be suspended."
This is not a hard and fast rule...
However, there have indeed been instances in the league where players have left the court early and were subsequently punished by the league with a one-game suspension.
Coach Thompson believes Wei Guo understands this principle: if they beat the Pacers, the next game will be the second round of the playoffs, where the opponent will be even stronger. If Wei Guo is unable to play in the first game of the second round of the playoffs because of this game, it would be a loss.
"All right."
Wei Guo nodded as Coach Thompson returned to the game once again.
........
"Brother Wei!"
"Brother Wei!"
"Brother Wei!"
When the 76ers' bench saw Wei Guo return, they quickly made room for him to sit down and rest.
The referee glanced at Wei Guo and admired his composure. The fact that Wei Guo could return in the heat of the moment showed that he was a very calm player. Whether or not he would be suspended was not up to the referee and would have to be determined by the league after the game. But Wei Guo only left for a short while before returning, so the matter was basically over.
Jaylen was grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Weiguo, and is now sitting on the sidelines resting.
He was really scared...
In that instant, he even felt a fear of impending death, and he secretly vowed that no matter what the coach said in the future, he would never provoke Wei Guo.
...
With Wei Guo off the court, the Pacers began to close the gap.
The score is gradually closing...
Most importantly, with Wei Guo gone, the Pacers can now double-team Iverson with impunity.
Brown called two timeouts to strategize, but it had little effect.
Jay Chou also remained seated on the bench.
For the Pacers, trading Jaylen Brown for Wei Guo was a huge win, and they even saw a glimmer of hope in winning the game.
........
In the fourth quarter, the 76ers were already down by 17 points.
Brown kept looking at Wei Guo...
Finally, Wei Guo took off his jacket, stood up from the bench, and said, "Coach, I want to play basketball."
"Attack! Attack! Attack!"
Brown impatiently pushed Weiguo toward the scorer's table, urging him to get ready to play.
Brown even forgot to follow the proper procedures, such as asking Wei Guo if he was still going to fight. Only after Wei Guo promised him that he would never fight again did he let Wei Guo go on stage.
"The 76ers are requesting a substitution!"
Wei Guo replaced Harprin and walked onto the field expressionlessly.
"Hiss..."
Thomas gasped.
He thought Wei Guo would refuse to play in this game out of spite, but in the fourth quarter, Wei Guo returned to the court.
........
Huaxia Live Room.
Old Xu said, "Wei Guo is back. Now the 76ers have hope."
Old Yang said, "Wei Guo is a young player, it's normal for him to have a temper. He'll calm down once he's calmed down."
"We're down by 17 points, but we should be able to catch up." (Old Xu)
"After Wei Guo returned, the defensive pressure on Iverson was greatly reduced."
........
With 10 minutes and 9 seconds left in the game, the 76ers were down by 17 points.
Wei Guo is on the field!
The 76ers were on offense. Iverson lobbed the ball to Wei Guo, who caught it and drove hard to the basket!
"Bang!!!"
Jermaine O'Neal couldn't defend Wei Guo.
71:86!!
The 76ers are down by 15 points.
"Get back to defense immediately!"
After scoring, Wei Guo was the first to run to the backfield to take his position.
The Pacers are on offense.
Miller missed a mid-range shot, Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound, dribbled straight to the frontcourt, and jumped after beating three players.
"Bang!!!"
"Beep!!!"
Wei Guo dunked successfully, drawing a defensive foul from Artest in the process.
The audience couldn't help but marvel that such a one-man fast break dunk is usually the job of a guard, and it's rare to see a 2.16-meter tall guy complete a one-man fast break.
When Wei Guo gets serious, no one can stop him.
"Whoosh!!!"
Wei Guo made the free throw.
74:86!!
The 76ers are now down by only 12 points.
Wei Guo walked past the Pacers' bench and asked, "Are you guys ready to go home and go fishing?"
"you!!!"
Wei Guo's arrogance infuriated the Pacers' bench players. Except for Jaylen who lowered his head, everyone else glared at Wei Guo.
The 76ers are still trailing...
Even the State of Wei dares to be so arrogant!
........
The gap is closing rapidly!
With 3 minutes and 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Wei Guo received the ball outside the three-point line.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
96:95!!
The 76ers took the lead.
"Outrageous!!!"
The 76ers' bench erupted in cheers.
Wei Guo played for less than 7 minutes and led the team to recover 17 points, putting the 76ers in control of the game.
Brown called a timeout, but it didn't have much effect!
The point difference is gradually widening!
With one minute remaining in the game, the Pacers were already down by seven points.
Miller made a final effort, taking a three-pointer.
"bang~~~"
The basketball bounced off the rim, Mutombo grabbed the defensive rebound, and then passed the ball to Wei Guo.
Artest fouled him!
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Thomas was furious at Artest's foul. "You didn't foul Mutombo when he had the ball, you waited until he passed the ball to Wei Guo before you fouled him?!"
This move was extremely foolish.
The Pacers might still have a chance if they fouled Mutombo, but fouling Weiguo at such a crucial moment would be handing points to the 76ers.
Thank you!
Even Wei Guo, who had been keeping a straight face, was amused by Artetes's action.
What a cutie!
Wei Guo stepped up to the free-throw line.
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Both free throws were made.
109:100!!
The 76ers are leading by 9 points with only 45 seconds left.
Theoretically speaking, unless a miracle like 35 seconds and 13 minutes occurs, the outcome of the competition is already predetermined.
Brown called another timeout to strategize!
After the timeout, Miller missed a three-pointer, Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound, and Artest committed another foul.
"grass!"
Thomas cursed.
It's over...
The Pacers were ultimately unable to steal a win from the 76ers.
"Whoosh!!!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Wei Guo made both free throws, bringing the point difference to 11 points.
There are only 31 seconds left in the game.
The Pacers quickly took the free throws, Miller dribbled to the frontcourt, and attempted a three-pointer, but missed. Wei Guo grabbed the defensive rebound again, and no one fouled again.
The 76ers stopped attacking.
After Wei Guo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he held the basketball and waited for the game to end.
"Beep!!!"
The match ended with the referee's whistle.
111:100!!
The 76ers swept the Pacers to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
