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 17 Finding a Teammate for a One-on-One Challenge

Jordan, nearing the end of his career, met Wei Guo, early in his career.

Does this count as a form of inheritance?

Despite scoring 49 points at the age of 38, Jordan was not happy. The proud and arrogant Jordan walked straight to the player tunnel after the loss and did not even accept media interviews.

Instead, it was the old man Russell who had been watching the game who approached Wei Guo again, saying, "Young man, only those who dominate the paint can dominate the court. I hope you can understand this principle as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your guidance."

Wei Guo was very polite, "There will definitely be a day when you will see me dominate every center in the league!"

"I hope that day comes soon!"

After saying this, Russell left.

......

He scored 40+ points in two consecutive games, and he's just a rookie!

Defending the country has become a hot topic in the basketball world...

Many star players have publicly stated that they look forward to playing against Wei Guo.

After returning to the hotel...

Wei Guo stared at the two lottery gift boxes in his mind, lost in thought! Drawing them one by one was really boring. Wei Guo wanted to experience the feeling of ten or twenty consecutive draws. Maybe there would be a surprise.

Just as Jordan said, Wei Guo's footwork under the basket is very poor!

His offense relies more on penetration and outside shooting, which is a pure guard style of play. However, Wei Guo is not afraid of physical contact at all. What he wants to draw most right now is the 'Shaquille O'Neal Star Card' or the 'Bill Russell Star Card'. These top center star cards are the most suitable for him.

In order to fulfill his dream of a ten-pull gacha pull, Wei Guo decided to challenge his teammates to a one-on-one duel.

......

After two consecutive away games, the 76ers flew back to Philadelphia.

There were no games for the next two days, giving the team a chance to rest and regroup. Team training would continue, and although they won the first three games of the regular season, they also exposed a number of problems.

Wei Guo and his teammates still have issues with cohesion!

When the game reached its crucial moments, Wei Guo transformed into Allen Iverson, mostly dribbling and attacking one-on-one. Fortunately, his opponents were unfamiliar with Wei Guo, and he scored most of the baskets.

Wei Guo greatly cherished this opportunity for team training...

As dawn broke, Cummings arrived at the arena to train, but the lights were on when he entered.

"Who was the last person to leave last night?"

Cummings muttered as he entered the arena, "They forgot to turn off the lights."

Usually, it's the staff, not the players, who leave last. When the staff leave the stadium, they always check it over and clean it up before leaving. Forgetting to turn off the lights is extremely rare.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Before even entering the arena, Cummings heard the sound of a ball bouncing, realizing that someone had arrived at the arena to train before him.

Who's so diligent?

Cummings muttered as he entered the arena, then saw a tall figure. "Weiguo?!"

Wei Guo said with a chuckle, "Wow~ Cummings, you're here early."

What time did you arrive?

Do you know what Philadelphia looks like at four in the morning?

"You arrived at four o'clock?"

Cummings was changing his shoes when he heard Wei Guo's words and looked surprised. He even forgot to tie his shoelaces halfway through.

"There wasn't a single person on the street; it was incredibly desolate."

Wei Guo frowned and said, "I'll never get up this early again."

At that time, Kobe hadn't yet uttered that classic quote, and Wei Guo didn't know it; he just said it casually... He was excited about being able to do ten consecutive draws, so he got up early!

"Since we're here..."

Wei Guo tossed a basketball to Cummings, "Warm up quickly, then let's have a one-on-one game."

"A one-on-one fight?"

Cummings' eyebrows twitched. "No problem!"

Anyway, there's no one in the stadium right now, and he's just a benchwarmer, so even if he loses to Wei Guo in a one-on-one match, it's not shameful.

Cummings is 1.9 meters tall and is a guard who entered the league two years earlier than Wei Guo... He hardly gets any playing time and is definitely a benchwarmer.

Wei Guo was getting impatient waiting on the sidelines when Cummings finally finished warming up.

"bring it on..."

Cummings cracked his knuckles. "Don't you dare go easy on me!"

"Of course...no!"

Wei Guo laughed so hard his shoulders twitched uncontrollably.

If he was going to let Cummings win, why did he get up so early? He got up so early so he could win the duel and get the prize box.

Cummings launched the first attack!

Even a benchwarmer in the NbA is not to be underestimated. Cummings has excellent ball handling skills. When he broke through, he braced his elbow against Wei Guo and took a half-step back to shoot.

*Smack!!!*

Wei Guo jumped and easily completed the block.

Cummings' face darkened. "With your height, playing guard is just bullying people."

When it was Wei Guo's turn to attack, he immediately hit a three-pointer!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

The outcome of this one-on-one duel was already decided; Wei Guo truly did not let Cummings win.

21:0!!

In five minutes, Wei Guo ended the one-on-one match with seven three-pointers.

Cummings slumped onto the floor. "If I'd known this would happen, why did I even bother warming up? It was such a waste of time."

"No waste, no waste..."

Wei Guo humbly said, "I learned a lot from fighting you one-on-one."

"What did you get?"

"confidence..."

"Get lost!"

Cummings stormed off to the side.

Raja Bell and McGee arrived together. As soon as they entered the arena, a basketball flew towards them. McGee caught the ball and saw Wei Guo waving at them. "Idol, want to have a one-on-one game?"

"A one-on-one duel?!"

McGee asked, "Why a one-on-one?"

Wei Guo humbly said, "I'm new to the league and hope to get guidance from my idols."

Wei Guo's use of the word "idol" made McKee overjoyed. He put down his briefcase and said, "Wait for me to warm up, then we'll spar a bit."

Raja Bell also agreed to Wei Guo's request for a one-on-one duel.

A dozen minutes later, Bale, having finished stretching, came over and tossed the ball to Wei Guo, saying, "You go first."

Bell joined the 76ers in April. Last season, he only got playing time in the last five garbage time games of the regular season. He had a bright performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, scoring 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. However... compared to Wei Guo, who has scored 40+ points in two consecutive games, Bell has no star power.

Bale's defense is very tough; he's sticking to Wei Guo!

Wei Guo struggled to get rid of Bell's defense, and his shot was also interfered with by Bell.

"bang~~~"

The ball hit the rim and bounced away.

"Not bad defense!"

Wei Guo passed the ball to Bale, and it was Bale's turn to attack.

McGee, sitting on the sidelines, shouted, "Wei Guo, watch out, this kid has a three-point shot!"

"Is that so?"

Wei Guo nodded, and then blocked Bell's three-pointer.

You talk too much!

Bell complained to McGee.
