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 11 Only those who are seriously trying to grab a rebound will get knocked away by me.

"Wei Guo is a rising star; there was no information about him before this."

We don't know much about him, but we can tell now that he's a big man with explosive physical talent who loves to shoot three-pointers.

We need to change our defensive tactics. Dirk will switch to guard Wei Guo. Dirk, you can use your height and experience to force Wei Guo to pass the ball.

His weaknesses were exposed when he made a passing error.

Carlisle confidently asserted that a rookie is a rookie, and no one can dominate the court as soon as they enter the league, especially since Wei Guo is only a second-round pick.

For the 76ers...

Brown said, "We caught the Mavericks off guard at the start, and they'll change their defensive tactics. Weiguo, you need to reduce your shot attempts and focus more on orchestrating the offense."

Coleman and Harpring, you two need to make active runs on both flanks and get the ball to Iverson immediately. Get the ball to Iverson as soon as possible so he can attack!

......

The timeout ended, and the 76ers were leading by 6 points.

Nash drove to the basket and passed to Nowitzki, who made a mid-range shot.

8:4!!

Mutombo took the ball from the baseline, and Wei Guo dribbled it across the frontcourt again, but Nowitzki had switched to defending Wei Guo.

Nowitzki grinned at Wei Guo, "Kid, your three-pointers are pretty accurate!"

"Oh..."

Wei Guo responded to Nowitzki with a slight backheel and a change of direction, easily getting past Nowitzki.

Wei Guo was very fast, even faster than Nash, who was known for his speed and quickness. After all, he was a man with a Steve Nash player card. However, after he broke through to the basket, he flicked the ball backwards... Iverson followed up and scored a layup.

10:4!!

Brown: ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)?

Carlisle: ╭(╯^╰)╮

One was happy, the other was sad. Brown was happy to discover that Wei Guo could actually pass the ball, while Carlisle was sad to discover that Wei Guo could actually pass the ball!

Nowitzki paused for a moment, then looked at Nash!

Wei Guo's dribbling and passing moves were exactly the same as Nash's! What was he imitating? But Wei Guo's movements were even smoother than Nash's... Nowitzki thought of something terrifying: if a big guy like Wei Guo had the dribbling and speed that only a small guy would have, then he would be a mismatch against anyone on the court!

Next...

Wei Guo focused on organizing the attack. Although he made two mistakes, it was only because he and his teammates had not had any tactical training and were still in the process of getting to know each other and had not yet formed a tacit understanding.

The difference was maintained!

......

With 2 minutes and 7 seconds left in the first quarter, both sides substituted most of their starters, and Wang Zhizhi also got a chance to play.

Wei Guo, who was originally planning to rest, saw Da Zhi and said to Brown, "Coach, let me play a little longer."

"Are you trying to match up against Wang Zhizhi?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you can stay on the field."

After acknowledging Wei Guo's abilities, Brown became much more understanding.

Wang Zhizhi is Nowitzki's substitute. Seeing that Wei Guo was still on the court, Carlisle said, "Zhizhi, you guard Wei Guo!"

"Okay!"

Da Zhi nodded, and when facing Wei Guo, he said, "I really didn't expect you to be a point guard."

"I didn't expect that either."

Wei Guo passed the ball to his teammate.

He had the ability to take on Wang Zhizhi one-on-one, but he didn't. With a point difference of more than ten points, he should have given his fellow townsman some face.

Snow received a pass from Wei Guo and missed a mid-range shot. The ball bounced high off the rim... Uncle Huo and Cummings were positioning themselves under the basket, preparing to fight for the rebound. Just as they jumped, the court suddenly went dark.

Wei Guo appeared above the two men, caught the basketball with one hand, and dunked it into the basket as he fell.

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

Three voices came at the same time, and both Uncle Huo and Cummings were knocked away.

After Wei Guo completed his dunk, he reached out with both hands and pulled the two of them up together. Cummings rubbed his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "Wei Guo, could you give us a heads-up next time you dunk? We're teammates!"

"You're very good..."

Wei Guo patted Cummings on the butt, "Only those who aggressively grab rebounds will get knocked away by me."

29:17!!

The 76ers lead by 12 points.

After that, Wang Zhizhi scored twice under the basket, and the first quarter ended.

31:21!!

The 76ers still hold a 10-point lead.

Wei Guo made 5 of 7 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, and added two dunks, for a total of 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, which was the most impressive stat line of the game.

......

Huaxia Live Room.

Old Yang: I have never seen any player dunk from the free throw line in a game.

Old Xu: I really didn't expect that Wei Guo would be a point guard.

Old Yang: Everyone knows nothing about Weiguo. We just need to wait quietly for the day when Weiguo amazes the world.

Old Xu: Wei Guo can score two doubles today.

........

Wei Guo's free throw dunk in the first quarter, along with his putback dunk that knocked two big men away, showcased his historic physical talent. His accurate three-pointers and six assists proved that Wei Guo is an excellent point guard.

The second quarter begins...

Iverson returned to the court after resting for 3 minutes, while Wei Guo returned after resting for 7 minutes.

Wei Guo was well aware of his physical condition. For someone of his size to make guard-like movements would require far more stamina than a guard. So when Brown didn't let Wei Guo play, Wei Guo took the opportunity to recover his strength.

43:39!!

When Wei Guo returned to the court, the 76ers only had a 4-point lead.

The key to the Mavericks' comeback was a 12-3 run, during which Nash hit three consecutive three-pointers, forcing a timeout.

"I'll guard Nash!"

Wei Guo immediately marked Nash when he entered the game; Nash is the engine of the Mavericks.

"I have never faced a defender that tall before."

Nash said, "You made my shot incredibly difficult."

Wei Guo kindly reminded him, "You can go down and rest for a while, and come back up when I leave the stage."

Nash, "???"

After the 76ers' game against the Timberwolves, a reporter said that Wei Guo wasn't very good at chatting. Nash has now realized that Wei Guo really isn't good at chatting.

Fortunately, Nash remained calm...

He was not affected by Wei Guo at all, and passed the ball to Nowitzki while moving, and Nowitzki made a hook shot under the basket.

43:41!!

The Mavericks are now down by only 2 points.
