There was a small stove on the table, with the charcoal burning brightly.

The chef will first grill the meat skewers until they are fully cooked, then grill them until they are about 70-80% cooked, and then put them on a small stove to continue grilling.

D'Antoni suddenly fell silent.

Wei Guo asked, "Do you think the run-and-gun offense is best suited for this team?"

"Um..."

D'Antoni hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Wei Guo laughed and said, "I think so too. Let's use this team to take our bombardment tactics to the extreme."

This is a very strange thing, and this is not a strange thing.

What's strange is that the coach has to listen to the players' opinions before making tactical arrangements. What's not strange is that D'Antoni is not the head coach of this team; the head coach is Gentry.

Wei Guo said he wanted to take the bombardment to its extreme.

D'Antoni looked at Gentry. He had been talking about the run-and-gun offense, while Gentry was eating kebabs and even cracking open peanuts and edamame. D'Antoni thought Gentry hadn't been listening, but now it seemed... Gentry must know the tactics inside and out. D'Antoni just needed to follow Gentry closely and learn from him to become an excellent assistant coach.

"Brother Wei..."

Gentry wiped his mouth. "The preseason is the day after tomorrow. Are you going to participate?"

"I will not participate."

Wei Guo shook his head.

This system is ridiculous. There are prize boxes for one-on-one matches with players, and there are also prize boxes for three-on-three one-on-one matches, but there are no prize boxes for this preseason game!

so...

On the day Wei Guo retires, he might be the only player in the league who has played seven or eight seasons without participating in a single preseason game.

Speaking of this lucky draw gift box!

Wei Guo is still 11 short of a star player gold card. Although he won't participate in the preseason, he should seize the opportunity to play one-on-one with his teammates. Wei Guo needs to attend the team's training camp the day after tomorrow and practice with his new teammates.

......

November 2, 2004, New Jersey.

The 2004-05 regular season has begun!

There were three games on the first day of the regular season, with the most anticipated game being the Nets vs. the Suns.

The first game of the regular season.

The Suns then traveled to an away game.

The Nets have undergone significant changes to their roster, and the team has tried its best to strengthen the roster after Wei Guo's departure.

However, there weren't many big fish in the free agent market this summer.

The Nets' biggest star is Wei Guo, who has become a free agent. So the Nets don't even have any trade assets. It's easy to imagine that... after Wei Guo's departure, the Nets' rebuilding process will take some time. However, this city already has its own championship trophy.

Fortunately...

Kidd returned to the team this summer, and the Nets also traded for Carter. Unfortunately, Kenyon, Hill, and Kiddles, who accompanied Wei Guo to the championship, all left the team.

The championship rings are awarded half an hour before the start of the game.

Wei Guo, Cummings, and Gentry joined the Nets players on the court, enjoying the glory that belonged to them.

When Wei Guo entered...

The DJ introduced the player with the most passionate voice, "The next player to appear is a three-time regular season MVP, a three-time Finals MVP, a three-time scoring champion, a three-time block champion, a three-time rebounding champion... 100 points in a single game, 59 rebounds in a single game... the winner, he is the league's number one player, Wei Guo!!!"

The introduction of the players took 17 minutes, with Wei Guo alone taking up 11 minutes!

The title of Weiguo is too many. This is after simplification. Any one of Weiguo's honors is enough to shock the alliance.

Everyone has a nickname: Jordan was nicknamed "Air Jordan," Johnson was nicknamed "Magic," Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was nicknamed "Skyhook," and Iverson was nicknamed "The Answer"... But Wei Guo (Iverson) didn't have a nickname because he was the best player in the league!

Only by defending the country...

He deserves the nickname of the best player in the league.

The Suns players were momentarily dazed; they were spectators, and the man the DJ had been introducing for 11 minutes was now their teammate!

Nash is full of confidence for the new season, and perhaps... he will finally have a championship ring.

After the awards ceremony, the competition was about to begin.

Starting lineup for this match:

Brooklyn Nets: Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Vaughn, Collins

Suns: Nash, Marion, Johnson, Weiguo, Stoudemire

The starting lineup when the Nets won the championship was Stockton, Hill, Weiguo, Kenyon, and Mourning, which is completely different from the current starting lineup.

With Stockton retired, Hill, Kenyon, and Weiguo leaving the team, and Mourning remaining with the Nets, Collins replaced him in the starting lineup, and Jefferson also returned to the starting lineup, making it extremely difficult for this team to reach the Finals.

One thing hasn't changed... it's the fans' passion for Weiguo!

......

The players have just entered the field, and Stoudemire and Collins are preparing for the jump ball.

"Brother Wei..."

Jefferson stood next to Wei Guo and asked with a smile, "How many points are you planning to beat us by tonight?"

"Winning by how many points isn't the point. How many points do you think the Suns will score tonight?"

"It has to be at least 100 points."

"You're underestimating me. I think getting 120 or 130 points is no problem."

"That's going too far..."

Jefferson winked. "You underestimate our defense."

The Nets' head coach has become Scott, and his recall of Kidd is actually to implement the small-ball tactic. Wei Guo has already foreseen that this game will be an offensive battle!

so...

The score will definitely be high!

"Beep!!!"

The whistle blows, the game begins!

Stoudemire won the jump ball, and Wei Guo had already run up the court. Nash received the ball and passed it from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Wei Guo received the ball, took a quick step, and went for a layup!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball was put into the hoop just like that.

This attack was too fast. Nobody expected Nash to not even dribble the ball before making a long pass.

2-0!!!

The Suns scored first.

"mVp!"

"mVp!"

"mVp!"

The audience began to cheer.

Scott gave a wry smile. "Whose home turf is this anyway?"

Kidd was also helpless!

He once led this team to the finals, but he never enjoyed the same treatment as the team.

and...

He left the team the year they won the championship.

This is neither Kidd's fault nor the Nets' fault. When the mysterious Chinese tycoon Zhang Wei bought the Nets, Kidd had already been traded away. At that time, Kidd was considered the best point guard in the league, and he needed a contract that matched his status. The Nets were looking to acquire Wei Guo, so they did not force Kidd to stay.

It was just a series of unfortunate coincidences... If Kidd had signed his contract with the Magic a few days later, the Nets would have changed owners.
