NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

Chapter 382 Confidence to Win

The veteran is one of the Spurs' confidence.

Glenn Robinson was the No. 94 pick in 20. He averaged 9+ points per game in his first year in the league. In the first 8 seasons of his career, he averaged 20+ points per game in [-] seasons.

The role of the veteran will be more manifested at the critical moment...

For the Nets last season, Wei Guo led a group of veterans to win the championship.

......

Popovich confessed that the Suns' main players could double-team Nash unscrupulously before all the main players played.

It is also overconfident in Weiguo...

Throughout the season, the Suns did not strengthen the lineup, which also caused the problem of insufficient bench depth.

The Spurs attack!

Horry defends the country in singles...

Wei Guo looked back and took the ball out of Horry's hand, then dribbled the ball straight to the frontcourt.

Robinson wanted to get the ball back, but Wei Guo turned around and passed it neatly, and dribbled it to the frontcourt...the basket was empty.

"Shh!!!"

rare...

Wei Guo chose to layup instead of dunk after the fast break.

37:41! ! !

The Suns trailed by 4 points.

Popovich secretly thought, Wei Guo is saving his energy, the visitor is not kind... How many points does Wei Guo want to score tonight? !

The Spurs serve from the baseline.

Before Parker dribbled the frontcourt, Barbosa stepped forward to defend... Barbosa was nicknamed 'BX Lightning'. Parker was inattentive, and Barbosa took the ball away.

At this moment...

Wei Guo has not passed the halftime yet!

Barbosa grabbed the basketball and immediately threw the ball to Wei Guo, Wei Guo scored another fast break layup.

39:41! ! !

The Suns trailed by 2 points.

"A layup again?!"

Popovich began to panic, Wei Guo changed.

His eyes are only on scoring, and he no longer cares about the way of scoring. Popovich even felt that... until the second half, Wei Guo would even deliberately foul.

There is a team in the league that has specifically studied Wei Guo's scoring methods. Except for Gentry, other head coaches in the league have bought this information. One of them said that Wei Guo's ability to draw fouls is at the top of the league, not even better than his three Point difference.

Wei Guo's three-point shooting rate is high, one depends on the touch and the other depends on talent. Wei Guo is tall, long and fast.

But that document states that...

Wei Guo's ability to make fouls exceeds his ability to shoot three-pointers, but Wei Guo has always bothered to make fouls.

What are you afraid of!

Wei Guo picked Robinson under the basket and took the first half step to shoot.

Robinson's restless hand accidentally hit Wei Guo's arm...

"Beep!!!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"bass!!!"

The basketball hits the backboard into the frame.

Popovich stomped his feet angrily, "Thank him...Why do you make these extra moves when you can dunk directly?!"

44:46! ! !

After making a free throw, the Suns were only 2 points behind.

3 minutes into the second quarter...

The main players of the Suns returned to the court one after another. Gentry was very satisfied with the three-minute performance of the substitute. He even left Barbosa on the court to share Nash's defensive pressure.

Popovich found out...

Although these veterans have a lot of experience, their physical condition has declined seriously. It is not difficult for the two to double-team to prevent Wei Guo from scoring.

......

The second quarter hit the 7th minute.

51:55! ! !

The Suns trailed by 4 points.

The main players from both sides are back on the court...

Nash grabs the defensive rebound, dribbles to the three-point line, and hits the floor with a super long pass. The ball passes between Bowen and Ginobili, and neither of them can intercept the ball.

"bass!!!"

Wei Guo received the pass and scored an easy layup.

Cummings waved his fist excitedly, "What an instant pass!"

This kind of long pass requires extremely high passing ability of players, not to mention that it is a pass that hits the ground in seconds, and can accurately send the basketball to Wei Guo through Ginobili and Bowen. Nash is worthy of the title of pass master.

Then...

Duncan catches the ball at the basket, hits Richardson with his back, and puts the ball into the basket with ease.

The Spurs couldn't limit the defender's scoring, and the Suns also couldn't limit Duncan's inside scoring. The first half was not a stalemate, and the Spurs gradually opened up the point difference.

......

The first half is over.

63:71! ! !

The Suns trailed by 8 points.

In the last 5 minutes of the second quarter, the Spurs scored 16 points to widen the gap.

Away locker room.

Gentry just glanced at the stat sheet, and D'Antoni said, "We're way behind in rebounding."

17:29! ! !

This is a comparison of rebounds in the first half. The Suns lost a full 12 rebounds.

And that's not the worst...

3:12! ! !

This is a comparison of the number of offensive rebounds in the first half. The Suns lost a total of 9 offensive rebounds.

The Spurs' second offensive hit rate is very high, and the 9 offensive rebounds lost are equivalent to 18 points for the Spurs.

Gentry said with a smile: "Brother, don't panic... Our rebounds often lag behind our opponents, but the final winner is still us."

"But...but...but..."

D'Antoni didn't think of what to say for a long time, so he could only sigh heavily, "Oh!!!"

The Suns played well in the first half. The disadvantage is that no one can limit Duncan's performance. Popovich, who has seen through the Suns' tactics, is also resolute in playing Duncan. Even if it is not enough, Duncan can grab a second rebound.

D'Antoni wanted Wei Guo to defend inside in the second half, but this was contrary to his bombardment tactics.

Cummings pulled the stat sheet, "Brother Wei...you just scored 50 points in the first half, did you really aim for 100 points tonight?"

"Yes!"

Wei Guo nodded, "It doesn't have to be 100 points, it may be more than 100 points, tonight... just let me make a brush!"

"It doesn't matter if you lose?"

Nash asked abruptly.

The atmosphere in the locker room is cold...

Cummings laughed and said: "I think it's not bad to lose one game. Stoudemire was suspended for four games...I lost this game and won the next two games. Stoudemire just happened to play with us in the finals."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

What Cummings said is very reasonable. The opponent in the finals is the Heat. This team is not comparable to the Suns in terms of starting lineup or bench depth.

If there is no Weiguo...

The Heat should easily sweep the Suns.

"I don't care about other games..."

Wei Guo said firmly, "In this game, I not only want to score high, but also win!"

Manager Xia Xia has already gone to country J. Before the game started, Wei Guo had a 5-minute phone call with the little boy named Andrew, encouraging Andrew to be strong and the operation would go smoothly.

Wei Guo is a bit superstitious...

Since this game is going to be given to Andrew as a gift, not only must he score 100 points, but he must also win!

......

The second half of the game began, and the Suns players walked onto the court with the confidence to win.

Nash and the others are ready...

In the second half, we continued to play around one center and two basic points, with Wei Guo scoring as the center, insisting on the basic principle of shelling, and insisting on double-teaming Duncan.

As Wei Guo said, this game cannot be lost!

The Spurs attack.

Duncan was stuck at the basket, Parker lobbed the ball to Duncan, and Joe Johnson stepped forward to double-team Duncan with Marion.

The threat of two double-teaming is not as good as Wei Guo's one-man defense.

But...

Squeezed outside the three-second zone and double-teamed, Duncan couldn't shake the two defenders away with his feet.

Just when Ginobili cut to the basket, Duncan feinted and passed the ball to Ginobili, who caught the ball for a layup.

"Snapped!!!"

The basketball was suddenly pressed against the backboard.

Ginobili staggered two steps... He didn't notice at all that when he cut to the basket, Wei Guo, who hadn't entered the inside all night, also followed.

"Ah..."

There was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Wei Guo's mouth.

Do you really think he doesn't defend? ? ?

What Wei Guo didn't know was that his nail-biting cap made Suns fans all over the world crazy, even more crazy than Wei Guo's actual free throw line dunk!

Weiguo...

Finally started to defend.

Ginobili's unspeakable grievances, didn't he say that he had to defend... Why did he suddenly give a big cap?

During the intermission, the Spurs also accepted Horry's view that the Suns are very likely to give up the game tactically, just to allow Stoudemire to play in the finals.

But...

The Spurs are not weak teams either.

The Suns gave up a game tactically, which is contempt for the Spurs. The Spurs also have their own arrogance... As long as the Suns dare to give up a game, they can make the Suns lose three or four games in a row... It will be the San Antonio Spurs, not the Phoenix Suns, who will make it to the Finals.

......

Wei Guo got the basketball and sent a long pass to Nash!

Nash catches the ball for a layup...

53:55! ! !

The Suns trailed by 2 points.

Give Wei Guo the right to shoot as much as possible, which does not mean that other players will not shoot. Nash received a pass from Wei Guo, and Bowen was the only one who chased him. Nash was [-]% sure of scoring the ball, so his shots were also Very decisive.

The basketball was picked up by Bowen before it hit the ground. He walked to the bottom line and sent the ball to Parker.

Muhammad stands on the right side of the free throw line to pick and roll Parker... Parker avoids the defender, first observes the position of Wei Guo, and then faces Joe Johnson with a small throw.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

The next 5 minutes...

Weiguo's interior defense is still very small. As for the offense, if there is no fast break, Nash will stabilize the rhythm, and then hand the ball to Weiguo, who will play singles.

Although his physical strength has not declined, under the double-teaming of Bowen and Ginobili, Wei Guo's shooting percentage has also declined, and his shooting is unstable. ...but the Suns seem to be stuck in a quagmire, and the offense is sluggish.

Seven minutes into the third quarter, Gentry called a timeout.

69:75! ! !

The Suns trailed by 6 points.

In 7 minutes, the Suns scored 18 points and the Spurs scored 20 points, further widening the point difference.

Gentry is under a lot of pressure...

There are more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Wei Guo only scored 14 points, and the total score is only 64 points, which is far from the goal of 100 points. The Spurs will continue to double-team Wei Guo, and even... .After the fourth quarter of the game, the situation of three-teaming will also appear.

Back in the day...

Wei Guo walked up to Popovich and said that he would get 100 points if he put down his harsh words, and then Wei Guo really did it.

Why does this game feel so difficult?

Of course Gentry understands the reason. The first time Wei Guo scored 100 points was in the regular season. The regular season and the playoffs are not the same intensity, and that game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter, and this game will not Garbage time... One more loss for the Spurs and they're down 3-0.

There is no example of a 3:0 comeback in history, so the Spurs will try their best to win this game.

If Weiguo scored 100 points in a single game for the first time with a difficulty factor of five stars, under such pressure... Weiguo wants to score 100 points with a difficulty factor of nine stars.

Popovich is under pressure...

According to his thinking, at this point in the game, the Spurs must at least have a double-digit lead.

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs led by 19 points in the last [-] minutes, but after Wei Guo returned, a three-point rain extinguished the small flames of the Spurs' victory. Who dares to say that this kind of thing will not happen again?

"We must double-team Weiguo!"

Popovich's face was cold, "We can't let Wei Guo score again."

......

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Nash slowly dribbles across the frontcourt...

Wei Guo suddenly got rid of the double-teaming of Ginobili and Bowen and ran beyond the three-point line. Nash slammed the ball behind him to help Wei Guo block Bowen and Ginobili who were chasing up.

With the help of Nash's barrier, Wei Guo shot from three steps away from the three-point line.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

72:75! ! !

The 6-point lead was so weak that it was cut in half with a three-pointer.

Popovich shouted sullenly: "If Wei Guo wants to vote like this, you just let it go...I don't believe it!"

moment...

"Oh?!"

Four players on the court looked at Popovich in surprise.

Who gave Popovich the confidence?

It was only three steps away from the three-point line, which was within Weiguo's range.

Who doesn't know that the farther Wei Guo is from the basket, the higher the shooting rate is, but the ultra-long three-pointer in the half, Wei Guo's shooting rate is close to [-]%. It shows that Weiguo does not dare to use this method as a regular scoring method.

otherwise...

The sport of basketball has lost its meaning.

Just imagine, but all players, regardless of the half court or the three-point line... throw the ball to the opposite basket. This sport has become a shooting contest. What is there to confront?

The Spurs attack.

Duncan made a shot from the basket and caused a foul by Joe Johnson.

After the penalty hit...

The Spurs still lead by 6 points.

Unknowingly, Duncan scored over 50 points tonight. No one in the Suns can stop Duncan from scoring inside. Duncan will also create a career-high score tonight.
