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 277 Giving the Suns No Chance

Marion's defensive ability is already among the top three on the Suns, but if Zydrunas Ilgauskas gets into position under the basket, it will be difficult for Marion to stop Ilgauskas from scoring.

Even if...

Ilgauskas' scoring ability is average.

After scoring, Ilgauskas yelled at Marion, "Basketball is a tough guy's sport, you candy sweetheart!"

This really stung Marion.

He didn't understand why Ilgauskas was so smug after only scoring one goal.

Little did they know, Wei Guo had said this to Ilgoskas before, and Ilgoskas was simply returning the words to Wei Guo's teammate.

The Suns players have already run up the court!

Nash dribbled quickly, and Stoudemire set a screen for Nash near the three-point line. Wei Guo rolled to the basket and had a shot opportunity, and Nash immediately passed the ball to Wei Guo.

Ilgauskas's positioning under the basket!

Wei Guo dribbled the ball once, jumped over Ilgauskas, and even though he knew he was about to be dunked on, Ilgauskas still gritted his teeth and stood in front of Wei Guo. He would rather be knocked down by Wei Guo than hear Wei Guo call him Candy Sweetheart again.

"Bang!!!"

Ilgauskas was thrown into the air.

"Bang!!!"

Wei Guo scores with a one-handed dunk!

Stoudemire: w(?Д?)w

Stoudemire's eyes were filled with stars at that dunk. He was very strong in terms of running and jumping, but he didn't know he could dunk over a 2.2-meter center.

53:62!!

In the transition between offense and defense, McGinnis missed his shot, and Weiguo grabbed the defensive rebound!

Seeing that Wei Guo had the ball, Nash ran up the court without thinking. The core of the run-and-gun offense is that every player can be the starting point of the attack, but in terms of passing ability, Wei Guo is no less than Nash!

As expected...

Nash had just run to the vicinity of the three-point line when the basketball was in his hands, with no one in front of him.

Nash takes a three-point shot.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

56:62!!

D'Antoni exclaimed excitedly, "What a fluid offense! This is exactly the run-and-gun offense I've been looking for!"

Having Nash brings a single source of happiness, but if you add Wei Guo, the happiness doubles. D'Antoni should be the happiest coach in the league. Unfortunately, he's just an assistant coach. Even though the Suns have the best record in the league, he's not the best coach.

......

Wei Guo will not let his teammates get caught up in the excitement of catching up.

"Back on defense!"

"Stoudemire, watch out for James on the left!"

"Old Na, let McGinnis go one-on-one, let him into the paint!"

"Watch out for the basket!"

Just one defensive play has caused Wei Guo a lot of worry.

Wei Dafa sat on the sidelines watching his son direct his teammates, his eyes filled with satisfaction. His son had grown up... He could now freely reprimand these burly men.

D'Antoni saw something different from Wei Dafa; he saw a sense of responsibility from a team leader.

James was dribbling and attacking one-on-one when Wei Guo came over to help defend, blocking James's offensive path. James's fundamentals are very solid, but in order to avoid Wei Guo, he couldn't help but take a few extra steps.

"Walk! Walk! Walk!"

D'Antoni made circles with his forearm in front of his chest, reminding the referee that James had traveled on the layup.

"Beep!!!"

The referee's whistle blew.

James looked at the referee with an innocent expression, not believing he had traveled.

Wei Guo patted James on the shoulder and said, "I told you years ago that you have to change your bad habits in order to make progress."

LeBron James is destined to become a top star in the league. For top stars, even the smallest things will be magnified. James doesn't travel much when dribbling. In fact, most players will travel when dribbling. But since you are a top star, you have to get used to your haters!

after all...

There are too few players as perfect as Wei Guo.

Wei Guo also has haters, who criticize him. For example, they say Wei Guo is a violent maniac who likes to fight and once beat up Artest and O'Neal so badly they were hospitalized.

......

The Suns inbound the ball from the baseline.

The advance was a little slow, but Wei Guo drew the defense on the left, Nash got past the defender, and made a bounce pass to Stoudemire.

The Wind Child threaded the needle, and the Little Tyrant cleaved Mount Hua in two!

"Bang!!!"

Stoudemire scores with a powerful dunk!

D'Antoni had already sat back on the bench, and he whispered, "Old Jin, Wei is amazing."

Wei Guo and Wei Ge sound somewhat similar.

DeAntoni initially thought it was Gentry and his ilk's pronunciation that was incorrect, but after asking Gentry, he learned that "Wei Ge" was an honorific title for the State of Wei.

Fortunately, they didn't know that sildenafil is also called 'wei-ge', otherwise they probably wouldn't call Wei Guo that. Chinese fans usually call Wei Guo by his full name, and there are some fans who call him Brother Wei, but not many.

Gentry unscrewed the thermos, blew on the tea leaves, and said, "Brother Wei... he's just that amazing."

Both head coaches share the same idea.

The Suns were initially trailing, but once Wei Guo entered the game, they quickly caught up.

Moreover... the Suns' lineup, combined with their run-and-gun offense, is unstoppable on offense and equally formidable on defense. They can score 120 points in a game, but they can also concede 120 points.

The Suns' defense is greatly improved as long as Wei Guo is on the court!

......

The third quarter has ended.

81:77!!

The Suns went from trailing by 10 points to leading by 4 points in 9 minutes.

A short break.

D'Antoni wanted to capitalize on the limited time available to give his players instructions, but Gentry stopped him, saying, "Wei will continue to play in the fourth quarter!"

"Um?!"

D'Antoni asked, puzzled, "Shouldn't we rest for a few minutes first?"

Normally, the team would bring in substitute players in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, but Wei Guo never plays by the rules. Besides, he didn't play in the first half and had plenty of energy.

Wei Guo will also participate in the lottery... What he dislikes the most right now is the 'Stamina Rune', so he probably won't need it in the regular season.

......

After a brief adjustment, the players entered the fourth quarter.

To D'Antoni's surprise...

The Cavaliers fielded their full starting lineup, showing they really wanted to win and didn't want to give the Suns a chance.
