LeBron James, the offensive core of the Cavaliers.

Davis dribbled to the frontcourt and found James. Bremer slipped to the three-point corner, James drove hard and jumped to pass the ball, which ended up in Bremer's hands!

The true transmission has been passed down?

This prediction filled Kiddels with admiration for the defense, but he was quick to cover for them.

Bremer catches the ball and shoots, but is interfered with by Kiddels...

"bang~~~"

The basketball bounced off the rim.

When Bremer took the shot, Wei Guo had already rushed towards the basket and easily grabbed the defensive rebound over Boozer and Ilgauskas.

The Cavaliers quickly retreated on defense.

Wei Guo received the ball and signaled Jefferson to come up for a screen. After getting past Davis, Boozer came up to help defend, and Wei Guo made a behind-the-back pass.

Kenyon has caught up!

Boozer thought Wei Guo was going to pass the ball to Kenyon, so he lunged to Wei Guo's left, but he didn't see the basketball.

Fake fax sent!!!

The basketball was miraculously pulled out from behind Wei Guo's back, and he easily scored a layup!

85:94!!

The difference has narrowed to single digits once again.

"Wow, Wei-ge is so handsome!"

"Brother Wei is really into his role!"

Tyronn Lue grinned, looking both amused and exasperated.

Scott's tactic was to make Wei Guo resemble Kidd, but he didn't expect that Wei Guo's scoring style would also have a Kidd flavor. Kidd is not good at offense, but he has used this layup move many times.

........

James realized that there was one ability that Wei Guo lacked, which might be the biggest gap between them.

that is...

Wei Guoneng can easily unite the team as one.

........

There are only 5 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game.

Every offensive play and every defensive play is important; in this league, a 9-point lead is hardly an advantage.

The Cavaliers are on offense.

Boozer received the ball in the mid-range and went one-on-one against Wei Guo, but Wei Guo blocked his shot!

Jefferson grabbed the basketball, stood still to protect it, and only handed the ball to Wei Guo when the Cavaliers players ran to the backcourt.

"Surround and defend the country!"

The Cavaliers' head coach yelled, "Don't let him pass the ball!"

Wei Guo's passing threat was too strong. Davis was not tall enough, and Boozer and Ilgauskas double-teamed Wei Guo outside the three-point line. Wei Guo faked a move and made a bounce pass. The basketball went through Ilgauskas's legs and into Kiddles' hands.

"Whoosh!!!"

Kiddles' mid-range shot goes in!

87:94!!

"Pause! Pause! Pause!"

Silas signaled to the referee to stop the game.

In just two minutes, the Nets went on a 6-0 run against the Cavaliers, turning their 13-point lead into a mere 7 points.

...

"We must contain Wei Guo; he's the starting point for the Nets' offense!"

Silas held a tactical board in his hand. "Wei Guo is used to breaking through from the left. After breaking through, Boozer will cover Wei Guo, but you must pay attention to the positions of Jefferson and Kenyon. Wei Guo's first choice is to pass the ball, and his second choice is to attack."

Silas is right.

This lineup easily reminds people of last season's Nets team, so Wei Guo is playing the role of Kidd.

Therefore, Wei Guo's first choice will inevitably be to pass the ball rather than attack. To prevent Wei Guo from passing the ball, two things need to be done: first, to put pressure on Wei Guo, and second, to cut off his passing lanes.

The Brooklyn Nets' bench.

Gentry was still scribbling in his notebook, and he didn't even look up when the players left the field.

Scott said, "You played very well in those two minutes. From now on, we need to focus on defense and not underestimate any opponent."

After he finished speaking, Scott looked down at Gentry.

When he glanced at Gentry's small notebook... Scott was startled. Gentry had made detailed notes, including problems exposed during the game and problems exposed by the players!

really...

No head coach should be underestimated.

Gentry's status as a top coach is not solely due to Wei Guo's leadership... Wei Guo's insistence on taking Gentry with him when he left the Rockets demonstrates that Gentry's coaching style must possess unique strengths.

Gentry's status in Scott's mind continued to rise, until he became like a novice monk sweeping the library.

The reality is certainly not that exaggerated.

Speaking of which...

Gentry's coaching ability is definitely superior to Scott's.

He was already a good coach, and after a year working alongside Wei Guo, he learned a lot from him. Now, even if Gentry were to coach a weak team, he would be capable of leading that team into the playoffs.

...

The timeout ends, and the Cavaliers launch an attack.

James attempted a fadeaway jumper under Wei Guo's defense, but missed!

Ilgauskas grabs the offensive rebound!

Standing at 2.21 meters tall, his raised hand almost touched the rim. He grabbed the rebound and tried to dunk, but was blocked by Wei Guo!

Jefferson lunged to save the ball and tipped it to Kiddles. Kiddles then looked for Wei Guo, who received the ball and quickly advanced the ball. With just one step from the three-point line, Wei Guo pulled up for a jump shot!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

90:94!!

James tried to respond to Wei Guo with a three-pointer, but it bounced off the rim and Collins grabbed the defensive rebound.

James shot over 60 percent from the field in this game, but missed both of his three-point attempts.

The Cavaliers' head coach was frustrated, saying, "Wei Guo is not Kidd. If it were Kidd, he would have stabilized the game's rhythm first and would never have taken that shot like Wei Guo. Kidd doesn't have that kind of scoring ability either."

actually....

If the Nets can execute their plays well and avoid making any basic defensive mistakes, beating the Cavaliers should be quite easy.

After Wei Guo entered the league, he faced the Cavaliers six times and won all six games... Silas even felt that he would never win a single game against Wei Guo in his coaching career.

Tie the score... Take the lead... Extend the lead...

"Beep!!!"

The final whistle blew.

106:101!!

The Nets narrowly defeated the Cavaliers on the road, winning their opening game of the 2003-04 season.

Match statistics:

Wei Guo: 59 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 6 blocks

LeBron James: 29 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, 0 blocks

...

For LeBron James to put up 29 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 steals in his career debut is incredibly impressive; neither Jordan nor Kobe could achieve that.

After the game, Wei Guo walked over and punched James in the chest, saying, "Kid, you played well, you almost beat me."

"Brother, there's still a long way to go between you and me!"

James scratched the back of his head and said, "How did you get 50 points so easily, plus 17 rebounds and 6 blocks?"

"Remember one thing I said..."

Wei Guo put his arm around James and said earnestly, "The future is yours!"
