Wei Guo pursued Hamilton during his fast break!
Hamilton opted for a layup instead of a dunk, which he considered a safer choice.
*Smack!!!*
Wei Guo slammed the basketball onto the backboard!
A very nice pegboard hat...
As he landed with the basketball, Wei Guo didn't forget to lecture Hamilton, "Next time you're on a fast break, look back... just in case someone's chasing you."
......
Before the basketball players had even crossed the halftime line, Wei Guo had already leisurely dribbled the ball back.
Anthony defends the nation!
Wei Guo made a quick crossover, got past Anthony, and pulled up for a shot.
"Wei Guo's dribbling rhythm is amazing."
Brown muttered to himself that he had always thought Wei Guo's dribbling was better than Iverson's.
Iverson's dribbling is expansive and simple, and many people rank Iverson's dribbling as the best in the league. However, Brown understands that Weiguo can do all of Iverson's moves. Although Weiguo is more than 30 centimeters taller, Weiguo's first step is no slower than Iverson's. Weiguo's dribbling is unpredictable because he has so many moves.
"bang~~~"
The basketball bounced off the rim!
no way...
Even Wei Guo couldn't guarantee that every shot would go in, especially a jump shot after a quick stop after dribbling past an opponent.
Ben Wallace grabs the defensive rebound!
The first two minutes...
Ben Wallace was the star of the show, first scoring a layup, then blocking Kidds' shot, and then grabbing a defensive rebound.
The Pistons started strong...
On the other hand, the Nets seemed a bit tired, as their offensive attempts were less than satisfactory.
......
The first quarter lasted five minutes before the official pause.
13:9!!
The Pistons are currently leading by 4 points.
only...
The stadium was only half full, which shows that the heavy rain had a significant impact. On the way to the stadium, Wei Guo saw that many roads were flooded with deep water, so deep that the road conditions ahead were obscured.
This may be the reason why nearly half of the fans did not attend!
The torrential rain also affected the fans' mood. Although the Pistons were temporarily in the lead, the audience just watched the game quietly, with cheers coming and going intermittently.
Gentry is holding a tactics board and explaining tactics to the players!
How Jefferson moves, how Kiddles moves, how Wei Guo moves... The Nets can't rely on Wei Guo alone every game.
One person can win a game, but it's hard to win the championship!
certainly...
There are examples in the league of one player leading a team to a championship, but that's just a case of a superstar overshadowing his teammates. Every teammate is important!
......
The timeout is over, the game continues!
Nets on offense!
Wei Guo set a screen for Stockton, and after receiving the ball on the cut... Rasheed and Ben Wallace were on a zone defense under the basket, making it difficult for Wei Guo to get a shot off, so he passed the ball to Jefferson.
Jefferson isolated against Anthony, turned and fadeaway shot!
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball swished through the net!
13:11!!
Jefferson made a deep impression on Anthony in the last game, falling so hard that he returned to the court just half an hour after leaving the game.
"So tough!"
Gentry turned his head and said, "You have to be decisive when you shoot. Wei is standing under the basket, what are you afraid of!"
Mourning has replaced Collins, and the Nets' defense under the basket has been strengthened. After Anthony backed down the ball, he noticed that he was already in the three-second zone and passed the ball out again!
Hamilton passes the ball again...
Billups didn't hold the ball and passed it to Rasheed, who then took a three-point shot.
This offensive play can be described as very patient. When Rashid took the shot, 21 seconds of the 24-second shot clock had already passed, making it an excellent opportunity.
16:11!!
With Rasheed's three-pointer, the Pistons extended their lead to 5 points.
This is a do-or-die game for the Pistons...
If the Pistons lose this game, they will be eliminated, and the Nets will advance to the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year!
Nets on offense!
Wei Guo continued to run pick-and-roll plays with Stockton, but the Pistons switched defense quickly. After Wei Guo received the ball, Rasheed had already moved up and yelled at Wei Guo, "You won't score against my defense!"
"Holy crap..."
Wei Guo frowned. The title of "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" wasn't given lightly; Rashid's voice was truly loud!
Anthony was also playing around the basket. Wei Guo had already attracted two defenders, so he immediately moved the ball to Jefferson, then turned and came to the basket!
"Hey!"
Stockton shouted, "Alley-oop!"
Wei Guo was already under the basket, and it was the perfect time for an alley-oop. Jefferson threw the ball high into the air.
"Bang!!!"
Wei Guo jumped up under the basket, grabbed the basketball with his big hand, and slammed it into the hoop!
16:13!!
This tactic seems simple, but it is very difficult to execute. The team must have a player with awareness, jumping ability, height, and wingspan at the level of Wei Guo to do it.
Big Ben was also envious; Wei Guo's move—passing the ball, turning, and alley-ooping—was executed flawlessly.
If he can learn this, his offensive threat will be much greater. He doesn't always face players of Wei Guo's caliber. When he encounters centers who aren't tough enough, he should be able to average double-digit points per game if he learns this move.
......
The Pistons maintained a lead throughout the first quarter!
The cheers from the fans grew louder and louder, and the fans who had been delayed by the heavy rain gradually entered the stadium. Although their clothes were soaked by the rain, they felt warm inside when they saw the home team taking the lead.
26:21!!
The first quarter ended with the Pistons leading by 5 points!
Brown couldn't help but praise his players, "You all did a fantastic job, making all the shots you were supposed to make. You must maintain this momentum; we can't afford to lose this game!"
"Victory is certain!!!"
These two words embody the Pistons' belief for this game.
The Nets players didn't let their guard down either; Gentry took advantage of the break to encourage the players.
Keep a calm mindset...
Strive for victory at all costs!
The Nets players are motivated, so Gentry doesn't put too much pressure on them; too much pressure might actually make them make mistakes.
Wei Guo sat quietly on the bench.
The atmosphere at this game was a bit dull. Since entering the playoffs, the Nets have had some stars and celebrities watching the game courtside for every game. Tonight, the rain was too heavy, and many seats in the first row were empty.
Gentry looked at Wei Guo, "Brother Wei... there's still a little time left, do you want to say a few words?"
Wei Guo thought for a moment, "Everyone, play well, and take bold shots whenever you have the chance!"
"Anything else?"
Gentry looked at Wei Guo with anticipation.
"there is none left..."
Wei Guo shook his head. "Let's go on the field and catch up on the points we're behind."
