The entire stadium...

Except for Wei Guo, everyone else's eyes were fixed on the basketball.

"Whoosh!!!"

Behind Wei Guo, the basketball swished through the net.

97+3!!!

100 points in a single game!

......

He really did it!

The process no longer matters; the moment Wei Guo scored, the fishbone stuck in the throat of the Spurs fans was suddenly swallowed.

You have to admit it...

100 points in a single game.

They actually witnessed this miracle with their own eyes.

With 57 seconds left in the game, Wei Guo had a chance to break this record and remain unrivaled in single-game scoring.

The Spurs inbound the ball from the baseline.

Ferry dribbled to the frontcourt, broke through for a layup, and the Suns players gave up on defense, allowing Ferry to score.

With 47 seconds remaining, the Rockets have possession of the ball.

Posey walked to the baseline to serve, handing the ball to Wei Guo. The fans in the stadium all stood up, wondering... if Wei Guo would continue the attack.

These Spurs players on the court couldn't stop Wei Guo from scoring.

If Wei Guo scores just one more goal, he will break the single-game scoring record held by Chamberlain for decades.

Last season...

Will Wei Guo break Chamberlain's single-game rebounding record? Will he break Chamberlain's single-game scoring record this season?

Time seemed to stand still again, and the fans could no longer tell whether the person on the field was Wei Guo or Chamberlain.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Wei Guo slowly dribbled the ball past midfield and then tucked it under his waist.

"well..."

Some sighs could be heard at the scene.

Wei Guo then abandoned the attack and waited for the 24-second shot clock to expire before passing the ball to a Spurs player and waiting for the game to end.

......

"Beep!!!"

With the referee's whistle, the match ended!

120:87!!

The Rockets defeated the Spurs by 33 points on the road.

The Rockets scored a total of 32 points in the fourth quarter, all of which were scored by Wei Guo. In fact, apart from Wei Guo, no other Rockets player took a shot in the entire fourth quarter.

Wei Guo's 100-point game tied the single-game record held by Chamberlain.

........

Match statistics:

Wei Guo: 100 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 11 blocks

Duncan: 43 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks

This is a comparison of the two teams' star players: Wei Guo scored 68 points in three quarters, while Duncan scored 43 points in three quarters.

If Duncan hadn't missed the fourth quarter, he could have set a new season high in points tonight, and even scoring 60+ points in a single game wouldn't have been impossible. Moreover, Duncan's rebounding numbers were almost the same as Wei Guo's.

........

After the match, Wei Guo shocked the sports world.

Wei Guo once scored 77 points in a game against the US men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Championship, which is considered the highest score in Wei Guo's basketball career.

No one would question Wei Guo's scoring ability.

But...

When Wei Guo actually scored 100 points in a single game against the San Antonio Spurs, one of the top three defensive teams in the league, on the NBA court, it still shocked everyone.

Chamberlain holds two of the most improbable records.

In less than two seasons, Wei Guo broke and tied Chamberlain's scoring record, and he even had a chance to break Chamberlain's scoring record, but he gave it up.

........

In the away game's locker room, Francis, upon learning that Wei Guo had scored 100 points in a single game, searched everywhere for champagne.

"100 points in a single game!"

The match had ended half an hour ago, and everyone was still in shock.

The post-match interviews will begin soon.

Cummings leaned closer to Wei Guo and asked, "Wei-ge, why did you give up the attack in the last 47 seconds?"

The other teammates also turned to look at Wei Guo, and they had the same question: why did Wei Guo give up the opportunity to break the record? Was it to show respect to his senior?

If that's really the case...

Brother Wei has a truly grand vision.

"Fuck Popovich!"

Wei Guo spat and cursed, "If you're going to play a match, then play it properly. Why do you have to play these tricks on me?"

"What's the meaning?"

The teammates were puzzled.

Gentry unscrewed the thermos, blew on the tea leaves, and explained, "Popovich substituted the starters with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, clearly not wanting Wei Ge to score 100 points in a single game."

However, Wei Ge also made a harsh statement to the Spurs: if he plays, he won't score 100 points; if he stays on the court and scores 20-something points in garbage time, he'll be accused of stat-padding by fans.

Therefore, after scoring 100 points, Wilt Chamberlain gave up the final shot. This way, fans would only feel sorry for him and think that he was showing respect to his predecessor and paying tribute to Chamberlain.

"Holy crap..."

Mobley looked at Weiguo in surprise, "Brother, is that really true?"

"Is that so!"

Wei Guo nodded.

"Wow~~~"

Yao Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Wei, Popovich has eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, and you have eight hundred and one."

As expected...

At the post-match press conference, reporters focused on why Wei Guo gave up the final attack.

Everyone felt sorry for Wei Guo. This opportunity to break Chamberlain's single-game scoring record was one that Wei Guo might only have once in his career, but he gave it up.

Nobody cared that Wei Guo scored 21 points in garbage time, and nobody said that Wei Guo was a stat padder, because a stat padder would never give up the opportunity to break a record.

........

Popovich was in a terrible mood, and he admitted that the country was very strong.

He tricked Wei Guo...

But Wei Guo easily thwarted it, which was much more upsetting for him than losing the game.

Bowen had previously made a harsh statement to Francis, saying that if Francis ever walked out of that arena, he would change his name. Francis waited for a long time under the team bus.

The driver honked the horn several times until Gentry urged him on, at which point Francis reluctantly got into the car, feeling somewhat disappointed.

night.

The entire Rockets team had a dinner party and partied until after 1 a.m. before going back to the hotel to sleep.

The following day, the league also sent the Rockets notice regarding Francis's punishment.

He was suspended for three games and fined $35,000.

This punishment is quite severe, especially the $35,000 fine, which is a considerable sum.

Wei Guo, on the other hand, was quite pleased.

Inform the team manager directly, and he will cover the fine.

........

This was at the end of 2002, before social media existed.

When other stars learned that Wei Guo had scored 100 points in a single game, their reactions were also reported in the news, and people started comparing Wei Guo to Chamberlain.

but...

In Chamberlain's era, although he had explosive statistics, he was always overshadowed by Russell. In this era, is there any player who can overshadow Wei Guo?

......

The day after the game against the Spurs.

The Rockets flew back to Houston, and the defender went straight home after the plane landed.

We've collected 140 lucky draw gift boxes!

Wei Guo is going to have an amazing 140-pull gacha pull, let's see what surprises await.

......

The night continued until the clock struck midnight.

Wei Guo started frantically clicking on the lottery gift box, the 'ding, ding, ding' sound constantly echoing in his mind.

This process is very brief...

In just three seconds, all the gift boxes were opened.

As Wei Guo estimated, the frequency of 'Thank you for your patronage' is about one-third, meaning that one 'Thank you for your patronage' will appear in every three lottery gift boxes.

There haven't been any lotteries lately, and the runes for the Guardian Kingdom are dwindling.

After opening all the gift boxes, Wei Guo roughly estimated that there were 45 "Thank you for your patronage" messages, and more than 70 more runes (many gift boxes yielded several runes at once).

In addition to these, Wei Guo has acquired a total of 65 player cards.

There are 43 bronze player cards, 13 silver player cards, 6 gold player cards, and 3 coach cards.

Players with gold cards represent both honor and ability.

However, there are a few players with silver cards who are capable enough to deserve a gold card, but they are limited by certain factors and have not been able to achieve great honors. Among these factors, injuries are the main reason.

so...

Judging a player's ability by their trading card is not accurate, but it can reveal the honors they have achieved in the league.

Wei Guo has compiled a simple list of the 6 gold cards for star players:

Larry Bird trading card

Kevin Durant trading cards

Kobe Bryant trading cards

Dominique Wilkins trading card

Allen Iverson trading card

Scottie Pippen trading card

Wei Guo already has more than a dozen gold player cards, and his chances of collecting all fifty are getting bigger and bigger.

and...

This season, Wei Guo is playing the small forward position, and these six star gold cards have been a great help to him, especially Bird, Durant, Kobe... Wei Guo has not only mastered all of these players' moves, but his attribute values ​​have also increased.

There are also 13 silver player cards, some of which are quite interesting.

Yao Ming's Basketball Cards

Tracy McGrady trading card

[Vince Carter Trading Card]

These are the three player cards that Wei Guo is most interested in, especially the McGrady card. Wei Guo has faced off against McGrady, who was also an incredibly talented player. He didn't get the gold card for McGrady, probably because of his accolades.

Moreover, having obtained Yao Ming's player card, Wei Guo was well aware of Yao Ming's peak performance, recognizing him as an excellent center.

Next...

Wei Guo could take some time to train Yao Ming.

There are three more coach cards, namely:

Larry Brown trading card

Rudy Tomjanovich trading card

Auerbach player cards

When Wei Guo was sorting through these player cards, he saw the Auerbach player card and exclaimed "Holy crap!" three times in a row, which is how cultured people express their shock.

Cardinal!

Drawing this player card is even more exciting than drawing six gold player cards.

As for Rudy Tomjanovich, he is the former head coach of the Rockets, having served as the team's head coach for over a decade and led them to a championship. Larry Brown was the head coach of the 76ers.

......

This wave of consecutive draws... is a huge profit.

........

A single game scoring 100 points has a significant impact on the league.

For the next dozen or so games, the Rockets' opponents looked at Wei Guo as if he were an ancient ferocious beast.

and...

Wei Guo's scoring ability has improved again.

The regular season has been played 21 times, and the Rockets have a record of 19 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

Wei Guo averaged 46.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.7 steals, and 5.9 blocks per game, leading the team in all five categories.

As of now, Wei Guo is also ranked first in both the scoring and blocking lists.

........

On December 12, the Rockets played against the Suns on the road.

Yao Ming and Amar'e Stoudemire were both rookies in 2002. Yao averaged 14.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, while Stoudemire averaged 13.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Statistically, the two are neck and neck and are both strong contenders for this year's Rookie of the Year.

actually...

If it weren't for Wei Guo's influence, Yao Ming would hardly have averaged 30 minutes per game in his rookie season.

Starting lineup for this match:

Rockets: Francis, Mobley, Wei Guo, Thomas, Yao Ming

Suns: Marbury, Marion, Scott Williams, Anfernee Hardaway, Stoudemire

There is a gap in strength between the two teams, but there are no weak teams in the league... No team will surrender before the game even starts.

"Beep!!!"

The match began with the referee's whistle.

Yao Ming and Amar'e Stoudemire jumped for the ball. Stoudemire was very fast and touched the basketball before Yao Ming, passing it to Stephon Marbury.

Marbury dribbles the ball up the court!

Yao Ming was mismatched against Stephon Marbury. Marbury had excellent dribbling skills. He faked a move with his right shoulder, then used a crossover dribble to break through Yao Ming's right side.

Yao Ming followed Marbury's footsteps and stepped back, but because his center of gravity was too high, he stumbled. Just as Yao Ming was about to fall, Wei Guo caught him, preventing an embarrassing situation.

Marbury drove and passed the ball to Marbury on the outside.

"Whoosh!!!"

Marbury raised his hand and launched a three-pointer, the basketball swishing through the net.

3-0!!!

The Suns scored first.

......

"Thank you, Brother Wei."

Yao Ming said something in a low voice.

If Wei Guo hadn't caught him from behind, Yao Ming would likely have fallen to the ground, which would have been a huge embarrassment.

"Marbury is getting a bit cocky."

Wei Guo snorted, "I'll teach him a lesson."

......

The Rockets are on offense, and Francis is dribbling, looking for a chance to break through.

Yao Ming steps up to set a screen!

After Francis got past Marbury, Yao Ming moved to the perimeter, and Stoudemire followed him. He and Yao Ming were both rookies, and he had studied Yao Ming's game footage, knowing that this 2.26-meter tall guy also had a reliable mid-range shot.

Marbury closely guarded Francis, and the two reached the basket.

Instead of going for a layup, Francis made a behind-the-back pass, and Wei Guo followed up to receive the pass and leaped high.

With only Marbury left under the basket, he was forced to defend Wei Guo.

and...

Wei Guo swung his arm in a wide arc and completed a powerful dunk while straddling Marbury!

"Bang!!!"

Marbury was knocked back three and a half steps before falling hard to the ground.

3:2!!!

Wei Guo looked down at Marbury with a completely emotionless gaze.
