The news caused an uproar, with many American fans expressing their opposition. The NBA is the American men's professional basketball league, yet two teams have already been bought by wealthy Chinese investors.

Even if the boss in country M is poor...

But we can't let Chinese tycoons do whatever they want. First the Rockets, then the Nets, will there be a third, a fourth, or a fifth one?

Will all the league teams be bought by Chinese tycoons in the future?

As the league commissioner, Stern had no choice but to speak out. He stated that team trades are business matters and he could not interfere. Secondly, China has its own basketball league, and the NBA will remain in the United States forever, not move to China as some fans have suggested. Finally, Stern clarified that the mysterious billionaire who bought the Nets and the mysterious billionaire who bought the Rockets are not the same person.

The last one is the most important!

Fans are worried that if one owner owns two teams, there might be some unspoken rules that could undermine the fairness of the game.

Since Stern said he wasn't owned by the same person, it doesn't matter. American fans can only sigh and say that there are so many mysterious wealthy people in China.

........

After the Brooklyn Nets were acquired by a mysterious Chinese billionaire, the entire management team was replaced.

The team has been making numerous trades...

As everyone guessed, this is to make room for Wei Guo's salary cap. Wei Guo's next team has not yet been determined, perhaps he is waiting for the Nets.

However, the Nets' series of moves left fans bewildered.

Mid-August...

The Nets' trade deal was terminated, with the most significant part being the trade of their star player Kidd to the Magic in exchange for a past-his-prime Hill and the relatively unknown Tyronn Lue.

Malone did not renew his contract with the Jazz and joined the Lakers.

Disheartened, Stockton was planning to retire, but he received an offer from the Nets and subsequently joined the team.

After the Nets' roster was roughly finalized...

Another piece of news has emerged: head coach Scott will remain at the same salary but will become an assistant coach, leaving the Nets' head coach position vacant.

Once this news came out, everyone understood what the Nets were up to, and what followed was a natural progression: Wei Guo announced that he was joining the Nets!

Eastern Conference players are in despair!

If Weiguo had stayed in the West, they would have played against Weiguo a maximum of two games a season, but now they would play against him four times a season.

The happiest people are undoubtedly the fans in New Jersey.

Just two months ago, Wei Guo lifted his second championship trophy in this city, and fans held up banners hoping that Wei Guo would come to New Jersey.

To bring a championship trophy to this team that has never won a championship before.

Unexpectedly...

Wei Guo really came, so August to October were extremely difficult months for Nets fans as they anxiously awaited the start of the new season.

........

The 2003-04 season is about to begin, and a well-known sports media outlet has released a list of potential champions for the new season!

1. Lakers

2. Brooklyn Nets

3. San Antonio Spurs

4. Kings

5. Pistons

6. Dallas Mavericks

........

The Nets are not the biggest favorites to win the championship; the media may think that Wei Guo alone cannot defeat the Lakers.

As is customary...

Wei Guo did not play in the preseason games and did not report to the team until just before the regular season was about to begin.

The Orlando Magic were probably the biggest winners of the offseason.

Hill, once hailed as Jordan's successor, has been labeled as injury-prone. In the 2002-03 season, Hill only played about twenty games but underwent several major surgeries.

The doctor said...

Hill's injury means that he won't be able to return to the court for at least another year. He won't even be able to play in the 2003-04 season!

At this point, the Nets traded their star player Kidd to the Magic. The Magic were overjoyed, as if they had gotten a windfall. Many people even thought the Nets were a huge rip-off, a fool with too much money.

However, after Hill was traded to the Nets, he was sent to China for injury treatment.

Although China's medical expertise is superior, it's impossible to get Hill back on the court in just one or two months. With the new season about to begin, Hill remains in China, and his teammates all hope he can recover soon and work together for the championship!

...

October 27th, the day before the start of the regular season.

Wei Guo strolled leisurely to the newly renovated stadium with his hands in his pockets.

The team was having a scrimmage, and Gentry was sitting on the sidelines, taking notes in a small notebook.

Cummings was the first to see Wei Guo. He threw the ball down and rushed into Wei Guo's arms, exclaiming, "Brother Wei, I've missed you so much!"

"Go! Go! Go..."

Wei Guo pushed Cummings aside with disdain and greeted his new teammates, "Hello everyone, I'm Wei Guo."

Hahahaha...

This self-introduction made his teammates burst into laughter.

Leaving aside this league, on this planet, who doesn't know Wei Guo if it's related to basketball?

"Brother Wei!"

"Brother Wei!"

"Brother Wei!"

Teammates all came up to greet Wei Guo. Several young players admired Wei Guo very much, and they even had the urge to ask him for photos and autographs.

Stockton was the last to approach Wei Guo. "Thank you... Wei Guo."

"I will definitely keep my promise to you!"

Wei Guo patted Stockton on the shoulder, "This season, I'll give you a championship trophy."

Gentry said, "Dong Ge, you didn't participate in the preseason again. As punishment, you have to have a one-on-one match with your teammates!"

This request...is very reasonable!

Wei Guo laughed and said, "Alright, I don't need to warm up either. Who wants to go first?"

"No way?"

Tyronn Lue's eyes widened. "Brother Wei, if you really want to fight us one-on-one, who here can be your match?"

No one can defeat Wei Guo in a 1v1 situation.

Tyronn Lue's complaints seemed to have no effect. Wei Guo grabbed a basketball with one hand and tossed it into Tyronn Lue's arms, saying, "Then let's start with you."

"Brother Wei..."

Tyronn Lue took a step back. "I can't beat you!"

Wei Guo frowned slightly. "It seems you don't understand basketball. One-on-one matches are also a process of self-improvement. If you don't have the courage to challenge the strong, you won't be able to lift the championship trophy even if it's placed in front of you."

"I understand!"

Tyronn Lue nodded vigorously. "Brother Wei, what's your strategy?"

Wei Guo said, "Let's score 7 points. Whoever gets 7 points first wins!"

"Then I'll attack first!"

Tyronn Lue understood that he couldn't be polite to Wei Guo, so he started attacking as soon as he got the ball.

In American one-on-one, there's a rule that you can only dribble three times. Tyronn Lue doesn't care about this rule anymore. If he gets to dribble three times, he definitely won't find any space to shoot.

With a series of flashy dribbles, Tyronn Lue drove to the basket over Wei Guo.

*Smack!!!*

Wei Guo didn't even jump before swatting the ball away.
