NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

Gentry wanted Wei Guo to jump up, but Wei Guo refused.

This is an opportunity to train Dayao...

Dayao is under a lot of pressure tonight. He has to face off against Duncan, the league's top insider.

.......

"Beep!!!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game begins.

Duncan and Dayao jumped the ball.

Parker got the ball, dribbled to the frontcourt, passed Francis with speed, and shot a small throw near the free throw line.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

After scoring the goal, Parker looked at Wei Guo, and Wei Guo praised: "Young man, you grow up very fast."

Parker: ╮(╯﹏╰)╭

Parker also entered the league last year and was selected by the Spurs with the No.20 eighth pick in the first round. In that rookie class, Parker's performance was remarkable, but he was in the same class as Wei Guo.

2001...

As long as this year's rookie is mentioned, the first reaction of all fans is Wei Guo, and other players are living in the shadow of Wei Guo.

.......

The Rockets attack.

Francis passed the ball to Wei Guo, Wei Guo held the ball to attract the defense, and then lobbed the ball to Dayao.

Duncan stuck Dayao!

Dayao made a small turn and made a shot under Duncan's impenetrable defense.

"Snapped!!!"

Duncan blocked Dayao's shot.

Bowen gets the ball, Parker quickly dribbles to the frontcourt, and then waits for his teammates to settle.

"fine..."

Wei Guo patted Dayao's buttocks to comfort him.

Duncan wanted a position at the basket, and after receiving the ball, he shook Dayao away with two fake moves, and took off from the spot with a one-handed dunk.

4:0! ! !

The Spurs took the lead at the start.

Popovich sat on the bench calmly, the players' tactics were executed well, and he was confident to win the game.

Although...

So far this season, Wei Guo's average of 45 points and 11.2 rebounds per game is scary.

This is Dayao's first confrontation with a top inside player, the Rockets' second offense, and Wei Guo's mid-range catch.

With his back to Bowen, he turned and fell back for a jumper.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

"You have too many small defensive moves!"

After scoring the goal, Wei Guo looked at Bo Wen with some disgust, "If you defend me like this, I will definitely blow you up!"

4:2! ! !

The two teams played very steadily at the beginning, and every attack was a positional battle.

Few mistakes...

Fast breaks are rare...

But the offensive efficiency is very high.

Popovich was also a little curious. The Rockets, a reorganized team, have such strong cohesion. It seems that he underestimated Gentry a little bit before.

.......

Seven minutes into the first quarter, Gentry asked Posey to replace Dayao.

Posey is a veteran, he has much more experience than Yao, he can use his experience to defend Duncan.

Just 7 minutes...

Duncan and Robinson took turns beating Yao.

Sitting back on the bench, Dayao looked very depressed. Cummings put his arms around Dayao's neck from behind, "Isn't it Duncan and Robinson? Brother Wei will avenge you!"

In 7 minutes, Dayao made 3 of 0 shots and did not grab a single rebound.

The Rockets had a difficult time because the Spurs were too strong inside. Francis and Mobley failed to score a few breakthroughs, and the two men's shots were not very stable. Now the point difference has not been widened, only because of Wei Guo.

Under Bowen's tight defense...

Wei Guo scored 7 points on 6 of 15 shots, and the Rockets scored a total of 17 points.

The Spurs also made substitution adjustments, with Manu Ginobili replacing Jackson.

In the World Championships, Wei Guo and Ginobili played against each other. He was very impressed with this player. His breakthrough was like a snake, and he was a bit difficult to defend. In a game, he passed Wei Guo with his flexible feet at least three times. basket score.

After Ginobili came on the field, he broke through with the ball.

Move your right foot forward, and your body quickly moves to the left, then touch the ground with your left foot, and your body moves to the right side again.

The basketball has been protected by Ginobili in his arms...

It's easy to pass Mobley in this way, and it's a pick to get to the basket.

"Snapped!!!"

Wei Guo appeared behind Ginobili and slapped the ball to the sidelines.

"Your breakthrough was very aggressive, but the last layup was too ordinary."

Wei Guo shook his head lightly, "I told you during the World Championships that you need a period of time to grow up."

Then you give me room to grow!

Don't give me a big hat as soon as you come up!

I don't want to be ashamed?

Ginobili wanted to complain about Wei Guo, but he held back.

The Spurs sent the ball to the sideline, Parker received the ball, Robinson came up to pick and roll, Parker broke through to the free throw line, and made another small throw.

"Snapped!!!"

Wei Guo took a step forward and rewarded Parker with a big hat.

"What the hell am I..."

Parker's eyes widened. He had observed the distance between Wei Guo and him before he chose to throw near the free throw line.

But...

Wei Guo jumped too high!

Parker even felt that this block should be called an interference ball.

Basketball goes upcourt...

Mobley caught up with the basketball and scored a fast break dunk.

19:18! ! !

The Rockets led by 1 points.

.......

"Spurs request a timeout!"

Popovich called a timeout.

Wei Guo blocked Ginobili and Parker in a row, and Mobley's dunk also led the score, and the Rockets' momentum came up.

"Try to hit the inside line as much as possible, the inside line is our advantage,

Duncan, you come to defend the country, it is difficult to limit the performance of the country by Bowen alone. "

Judging from these 8 minutes... Bo Wen was indeed blown away by Wei Guo.

.......

Pause back, and the game continues.

Duncan catches the ball near the basket, lifts his wrist to fly Thomas, dribbles the ball to the basket, and dunks the ball into the basket through Posey.

"Boom!!!"

This dunk is not violent but very simple.

19:20! ! !

The Spurs took the lead again.

The Rockets attacked, and after Weiguo received the ball, Duncan stepped forward to defend Weiguo.

"Is it replaced?"

Wei Guo sneered, "Relying on that guy Bowen, he can't guard against me."

I don't know why, Wei Guo just doesn't like Bo Wen very much, this guy has too many small defensive moves, and Wei Guo stepped on Bo Wen's foot after another shot landed. I don't know if Bo Wen did it on purpose.

Facing Duncan's defense.

Wei Guo held the basketball with one hand and pressed his back against Duncan. His teammates consciously opened up space for Wei Guo to single-handedly hit Duncan.

The basketball hit the ground and bounced back into Wei Guo's hands.

Turning around, and then pulling back with his crotch, Wei Guo took a step back and joined the ball to make a shooting motion!

This set of combos is all guard moves!

In the following years, you will often see this trick on a player named Kyrie Irving.
