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 20 I'm willing to take Curry as my apprentice

Dell Curry asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"In China, there is a mysterious art called physiognomy."

Wei Guo said modestly, "Although I am not good at physiognomy, I can still tell that your son will definitely become a superstar in the future!"

"This kid has a good shot, but he's too thin."

Dell Curry said, "Maybe I can get into the NBA in the future, but it's really too difficult to become a superstar."

So ignorant!!! So incredibly ignorant!!!

How can a father not believe in his son? Like Wei Guo's father, even though he raised pigs for half his life, when Wei Guo said he wanted to play in the NBA, the old father still believed that Wei Guo would definitely become a superstar.

Wei Guo wanted to say something sarcastic to Dell Curry, since someone with a gold card must be a superstar, but he couldn't explain this to Dell Curry.

"How about this..."

Wei Guo thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind my poor skill level, I'm willing to take Stephen as my apprentice. I'll have him come to China this summer and I'll train him."

"Forehead..."

After considering the situation for a moment, Dell Curry said to Stephen Curry, "Hurry up and thank your mentor!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Stephen Curry shouted.

Dell Curry's advantage lies in the fact that his uncles and aunts are all NBA stars, and that he himself can teach Curry how to play.

But...

Wei Guo is different. He's a 2.16-meter tall guy with a 56% three-point shooting percentage. Maybe Wei Guo has a training method that he doesn't share with outsiders. If Curry could get Wei Guo's guidance, his shooting might improve by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, although Wei Guo is a rookie, he averages 30+10 per game, ranking first in scoring and second in assists. Such a player has unlimited potential.

Now that Wei Guo has taken Stephen as his apprentice, how could Dale refuse?

"Old brother, don't you care about us?"

Carter leaned close to Dell Curry and joked, "Why make Stephen take a rookie as his mentor?"

Dell Curry joked, "If you average 30 points and 10 assists per game, I'll also have Stephen learn from you."

“I can teach him how to dunk.”

Carter said with a chuckle.

......

Last season, the Raptors and 76ers battled for seven games in the second round of the playoffs. Iverson scored 50+ points in two games, and Carter also scored 50+ points in one game.

Unfortunately...

The Raptors missed a game-winning shot in Game 7, cementing Allen Iverson's legendary status.

This is the first time the two teams have met since last year's playoffs.

Starting lineup for this match:

Raptors: Williams, Clark, Carter, Davis, Olajuwon

76ers: Wei Guo, Iverson, Coleman, Harplin, Mutombo

Clark's full name is Geon Clark, and he is a point guard. Davis's full name is Antonio Davis, and Carter's full name is Vince Carter, which most people know.

The Raptors don't just have Dell Curry as a veteran; they just signed Hakeem Olajuwon from the Rockets this summer, the one who uses the "Dream Shake".

......

Wei Guo and Olajuwon stood in the center circle, ready for the jump ball.

Hakeem Olajuwon said, "Young man, it's a shame you're not playing center with your height."

"It's a bit of a pity..."

Wei Guo extended his hand, gesturing for him to jump first, "You're my idol, you'll jump first."

Hakeem Olajuwon: "???"

He did not understand what Wei Guo meant.

"Beep!!!"

As the referee blew his whistle, the basketball was tossed high into the air.

Hakeem Olajuwon had been jumping for the ball for over a decade, and he jumped at the perfect moment, but Wei Guo didn't move.

"guard..."

Iverson was about to remind Wei Guo.

Then they saw Wei Guo push off with both legs and leap up with a whoosh.

"Smack!"

Wei Guo slapped the ball into Iverson's hands first.

"Looks like you're really getting old... I let you jump first, but you didn't even manage to jump onto the ball."

Wei Guo strolled leisurely towards the frontcourt, not forgetting to encourage Olajuwon, "But don't be discouraged."

Hakeem Olajuwon, "???"

Where did this disrespectful kid come from? No wonder the media in Weiguo has such a bad reputation; they all say this kid can't chat, and it seems he really can't.

Iverson dribbled the ball up the court.

Facing Carter's defense, he used a series of crossovers to create shooting space before launching a fadeaway jumper.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

2-0!!!

The 76ers scored first.

The 76ers have a psychological advantage against the Raptors, who couldn't beat them in last year's playoffs and now have Wei Guo added to their roster.

The Raptors are on offense.

Clark dribbled the ball up the court and passed it to Carter. Wei Guo and Iverson were positioned to defend each other, with Iverson guarding Clark and Wei Guo guarding Carter. Carter drove to the basket and spun past Wei Guo.

"Ugh!!!"

Carter's eyes widened; he had underestimated the strength of the Defenders!

After turning around, he bumped into Wei Guo as if he had hit a wall, stumbled, and the basketball slipped from his grasp.

"Bang~"

Wei Guo reached out and grabbed the basketball.

Carter was still in shock. According to previous data analysis, Wei Guo was a player who was afraid of physical contact. So when Carter faced Wei Guo, he actively sought physical contact, but he couldn't move Wei Guo at all.

Such power...

How could I possibly be afraid of physical confrontation? This is fake news that's misleading me!

Wei Guo received the ball and headed straight to the frontcourt, dribbling behind his back twice to get past the defender, and then jumped from the free-throw line.

"Smack!"

Davis lunged forward and grabbed Wei Guo's arm tightly.

It's no use...

Wei Guo's dunking move has been completed.

"Bang!!!"

With a gliding dunk, Wei Guo slammed the ball into the basket.

After landing, Wei Guo slammed the basketball to the ground and yelled at Davis, "You think you can stop me from dunking like that?!"

Hakeem Olajuwon was momentarily dazed!

This dunking move is very similar to that of his former teammate, Clyde Drexler.

"Beep!!!"

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

Stephen Curry's jaw dropped. "That dunk was so cool!"

"Don't look at this..."

Dell Curry quickly covered his eldest son's eyes, saying, "This kind of dunk has nothing to do with you. There's no such dunking gene in the Curry family."

......

The 76ers' bench erupted in cheers.

Holy crap!!!

"Oh ho ho~~~"

"Weiguo, awesome!"

Brown was stunned. Wei Guo's defense and offense were more aggressive today, which was a bit unlike him.

......

"Whoosh!!!"

Wei Guo's free throw went in perfectly.

Since the 2001-02 season, Wei Guo's free throw percentage has been as high as 97.1%, a consistency that no one in the entire league can match.

5-0!!!

The 76ers started strong.
