Start by Maxing Out the Attack Talent, Kobe Is Jealous

In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Wei Guo with the 58th overall pick in the second round, from Georgetown University. With that statement, Wei Guo became the second Chinese pla...

Chapter 107 Men's Basketball World Championship in Progress

The 15-minute match ended quickly.

37:5!!

Sun Xin's group suffered a crushing defeat.

The three defenders simply employed the most basic one-on-one defense, which prevented the three from executing any tactical combinations.

Xu Geng's two attacks were blocked by Wei Guo's defense. Xiang Ning also had a hard time against James. Only Sun Xin scored five points, and it seemed that he deliberately let him shoot.

actually...

The players on the sidelines could all see that Sun Xin couldn't even beat Curry, who was only 13 years old.

According to the rules of the baseball field, it's a continuous shot!

Sun Xin and his two teammates really couldn't even touch the ball for 15 minutes, which had a strong psychological impact on the professional players on the sidelines.

Defending the country goes without saying...

They can't even beat a 17-year-old James and a 13-year-old Curry. Is the gap between Chinese and American basketball really that big?

......

Only Wei Guo knew that James and Curry were not ordinary basketball players.

and...

There is a significant gap in the skill level of domestic players. The most skilled ones are currently training with the national team, while those sitting on the sidelines are considerably weaker than the national team players.

Yao Ming alone can wreak havoc on the CBA's interior.

However, it's uncertain whether he'll be able to start in the NbA after joining the league this October. Yao Ming might not even score a single point in his first NbA game.

Playing one-on-one against more than a hundred players in a row is very physically demanding.

Each one-on-one match only had three balls, but because of the change of serve, there weren't many one-on-one matches. Wei Guo essentially attacked three times and defended three times.

Although it was easy, it couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught.

Wei Guo had to use a stamina potion to keep going, which showed the players on the sidelines his stamina. If it were them, they would have been exhausted even if they took on forty or fifty high school students one-on-one.

certainly...

The rewards for defending the country were also exceptionally generous, with over a hundred lucky draw gift boxes arriving in their account!

........

That evening, Wei Guo took James and Curry to the airport.

The two of them stayed in China for a month.

He learned to ride horses, learn to herd sheep, and even learned some basic Chinese, but he didn't practice basketball.

But these were the happiest times for the two of them.

Before boarding the plane, James and Curry were a little reluctant to part, and kept asking Wei Guo if they could come again next summer.

Such an excessive demand...

Wei Guo had to agree, but he told them to study hard and make progress every day after returning home, and that he would bring them to visit every summer vacation.

Britney and James returned to the United States together.

Wei Guo is about to join the training team, so he won't have time to spend with Britney. Moreover, the Desert Entertainment Company has just been established and has already started preparing to shoot a movie, inviting a bunch of big names to play supporting roles for Britney. This is to prepare Britney to develop in both the music and film industries.

........

After playing one-on-one against professional players, Wei Guo was very worried about the strength of domestic teams.

Honestly.

Wei Guo is not familiar with the national team members. If these people are only slightly stronger than the players who play against him one-on-one, then it will be difficult for them to defeat the US men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Championship.

Take this year's finals for example.

Wei Guo's teammates were Iverson, Mutombo, Coleman... The Lakers only had two stars, and the 76ers even lost a game.

The US men's basketball team roster has not yet been announced. If this roster includes players like O'Neal, Duncan, Iverson, and Kobe, then they are practically invincible. Any team facing them would have to surrender immediately. Even the US wouldn't be confident of winning against such a lineup.

Since it's for national honor, Wei Guo naturally wants to win the championship.

This is also why Wei Guo entered the national team training camp more than a month in advance. It's not only to get in sync with the team, but he also wants to help his teammates grow.

........

Two days later, Wei Guo entered the national team training camp.

The players were doing a running training session when they saw Wei Guo walk onto the field with a bag slung over his shoulder, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

In terms of age, Wei Guo is still considered a young player in the national team.

However, no one dared to ignore the person in front of them. Although he had a middle parting and a headband tied around his forehead, he looked harmless.

"Everyone, stop!"

National team head coach Wang Hu walked over and said, "Let me introduce the last member of our team."

"Coach, this person doesn't need an introduction, right?"

Yu Dong, nicknamed "God of War," laughed and said, "Who doesn't know him?"

"Then let's welcome Wei Guo into the national team with applause."

Wang Hu led the applause.

Yao Ming, the tallest player, kept looking at Wei Guo. This was his idol. He watched every video of Wei Guo's games. His goal was to be able to establish himself in the NBA like Wei Guo.

As for the achievements of the State of Wei...

He may not be able to achieve it himself, but he will try his best.

Wei Guo walked over and gave each of his teammates a high-five. He paused next to Yao Ming, then said, "Welcome to the NBA!"

Thank you~

Yao Ming said, "I will try my best to catch up with you."

"come on!"

Wei Guo nodded to Yao Ming, then stopped next to Wang Zhizhi and patted him on the back. "Buddy, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Da Zhi patted Wei Guo on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I've secretly brought a few bottles of good wine into the training camp. I'll come find you tonight."

"So sensible!"

Wei Guo gave Da Zhi a knowing look, and then greeted the other teammates.

........

After greeting his teammates one by one, Wei Guo officially joined the training team.

Before coming, Wei Guo had a brief conversation with Wang Hu. He said that he would mainly conduct tactical training with his teammates in the training camp, and that he would not participate in physical training. In addition, Wei Guo would also help his teammates grow.

After spending a few days with his teammates, Wei Guo's confidence increased significantly.

Besides Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming, there were several other players on the team who left a deep impression on Wei Guo. Yu Dong, nicknamed "God of War," Li Xun, nicknamed "Flying Knife," and Wei Dong, nicknamed "China's Jordan," were all very strong players. In addition, several young players were also very good, such as Du Feng, Zhu Yu, and Liu Wei.

I heard that Wei Dong received an invitation from the NbA a long time ago, but he didn't go to the NbA, which is perhaps a regret.

In between training...

Wei Guo also had a fun one-on-one match with his teammates, but it wasn't an easy win; he was sweating.

........

Life in the training camp was very boring, especially after Wei Guo joined the training camp.

Perhaps in an effort to prove themselves, the younger players played with even greater intensity.

This day.

The roster for the US team participating in the 2002 Men's Basketball World Championship has been announced.

Wang Hu gave the list to Wei Guo.

........

Centers: Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace, LaFrentz

Power Forwards: Brand, Collison, Antonio Davis

Small forwards: Marion, Pierce

Shooting Guards: Reggie Miller, Michael Finley

Point Guards: Andre Miller, Baron Davis, Jay Williams

........

Seeing this roster, Wei Guo breathed a sigh of relief. None of the players who could be considered his opponents were there. With the US men's basketball team's lineup, it was hard to say whether they could even make it to the finals.
