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 115 Defeating the US Men's Basketball Team

Andrei thought Wei Guo was distracted, so he went up to grab the ball.

But...

With a nimble turn, Wei Guo got past Andrei and then launched a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

Andrei muttered to himself, "Wasn't he just stretching his shoulders? How did he react so quickly?"

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Wang Hu stood on the sidelines, loudly reminding the players.

Despite having a significant lead, we still cannot afford to be complacent.

US men's basketball team attack.

Pierce had the ball and went one-on-one, but Wang Zhizhi's timely help defense forced Pierce to make a mistake. Yao Ming grabbed the ball and passed it to Wei Guo.

Wei Guo makes a fast break layup.

Ben tugged at Wei Guo from behind, pulling hard enough to rip Wei Guo's jersey off.

But this still couldn't stop Weiguo from scoring.

"Bang!!!"

The strength of Wei is greater than that of Daben, a fact that Wei has already proven.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and called a defensive foul on Ben Wallace.

......

Duncan sighed and said to his friend, "The situation is completely under the control of the Chinese men's basketball team. The biggest suspense in this game is how many points Wei Guo can score, but our team has already lost."

"I heard that Wei's next home has not yet been decided."

A friend of Duncan joked, "If he goes to the West, you'll have to play him four times in the regular season."

"I hope he doesn't come to the West..."

Duncan laughed and said, "It's going to be really tough when he comes."

Kobe suddenly interjected, "I actually hope he goes to the West, so he can play against opponents like that as many times as possible."

"Can Wei Guo score 80 points in this game?"

"How many points has he scored so far?"

"A score in the fifties."

"I think it's unlikely."

Iverson suddenly said, "If we keep playing like this, Wei Guo won't need to play in the fourth quarter. He's never been a stat padder; he only cares about winning."

......

The score gap continued to widen, and no one could stop Wei Guo from scoring.

The US men's basketball team is gradually losing its fighting spirit...

The most upset person wasn't the players on the field, but head coach Karl sitting on the sidelines.

Duncan, Kobe, O'Neal, Iverson, and others all came to watch the game. They came to cheer on the US men's basketball team and enjoy their performance. If the players on the court were these guys, the US men's basketball team would still have a chance to win.

The last two minutes of the third quarter.

Wei Guo hit three consecutive three-pointers, extending the lead to 30 points.

"well..."

Carl sighed and decided to forfeit the match.

Fortunately, this is just the group stage. There are still the quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, and finals to come... They may have another chance to play against the Chinese men's basketball team, and they can get revenge for the group stage loss then.

........

Although the final quarter was garbage time, it was still an opportunity for the Chinese men's basketball team to practice.

Apart from the defender, the other players took turns playing.

"Beep!!!"

The match ended with the referee's whistle.

117:93!!

China's men's basketball team defeated the United States' men's basketball team by 24 points in the group stage.

Match statistics:

Main character: 77 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, 9 blocks

supporting role:.......

It can be said that all the players in this game were supporting roles for Weiguo.

After the game, Iverson and his friends came over to chat with Wei Guo. Wei Guo said very seriously, "I hope to be your opponent in the next international basketball game."

"certainly!"

Kobe stepped forward and patted Wei Guo's biceps, saying, "I regret not making the national team this year so I can play against you again."

"Next time, the US must assemble its strongest lineup!"

Karl also secretly resolved, "The glory of the US men's basketball team must not be violated."

........

The group stage has ended, and the standings for each group have been determined.

Let's just talk about Group C, where the Chinese men's basketball team is located.

China Men's Basketball Team: 3 wins, 0 losses, 3 points

US Men's Basketball Team: 2 wins, 1 loss, 2 points

D country men's basketball team: 1 win, 2 losses, 1 point

Al-Asia Men's Basketball Team: 0 wins, 3 losses, 0 points

......

The Chinese men's basketball team advanced to the quarterfinals as the top seed in their group. Their next opponent will be the Argentine men's basketball team.

We can rest for a day before the quarterfinals.

Agent Xia Xia contacted Wei Guo about his next team, and Xia Xia recommended several teams to him, including the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Clippers.

All four teams are showing their sincerity.

The highest bid came from the New York Knicks.

Jordan publicly invited Wei Guo to join the Washington Wizards on multiple occasions and expressed his willingness to re-sign with the team for another year, hoping to become teammates with Wei Guo.

What was Jordan thinking...?

How could fans not have guessed that if Wei Guo really joined the Wizards, Jordan would very likely win his seventh championship trophy?

Xiaxia laid out all the information in front of Weiguo. "Which of these four teams do you think is good? Of course... besides these four teams, you have many other teams to choose from."

"If you can accept a mid-level contract, you can go to the Lakers."

Xia Xia said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Anyway, you're not short of money. Go to the Lakers and team up with Shaq and Kobe, and you'll easily win the championship."

Why take a middle-class contract?

"The Lakers have limited salary cap space. Shaq and Kobe's salaries take up too much of their budget."

"But your suggestion is not bad."

Wei Guo laughed and said, "If the three of us join forces, we might be able to break the record of 72 wins in the regular season."

"This seems simple..."

"That's right, there are no compatibility issues between me and any player."

This is the confidence of the State of Wei.

"Brother Wei, so what do you mean?"

"Let's play ball..."

Wei Guo thought for a moment before saying, "Not only do we need to defeat our opponents, but the team atmosphere is also very important, such as whether the head coach and I get along well."

"If that's the case, then the Houston Rockets would be a good choice."

Xiaxia said, "The Houston Rockets signed Gentry yesterday. Gentry will be the Rockets' head coach next season. I remember he stayed at your house for a while."

"Old Jin..."

Wei Guo smiled knowingly, "The Rockets it is. I'll also mentor my little brother and help him integrate into the league as quickly as possible."

The "little brother" Wei Guo was referring to is this year's top draft pick, Yao Ming.

Besides former teammates...

Wei Guo already has three teammates: Yao Ming, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry. Wei Guo has an idea in mind: when he's nearing the end of his career, he wants to put these teammates together on one team, compete for the league, and give his career a perfect ending.

"It's settled?"

Xiaxia asked.

"It's settled!"

Wei Guo nodded. The Rockets were a good choice.
