Just half an hour after the league issued its announcement, the Suns also issued their announcement.

The Suns' owner brought in a renowned Chinese doctor, and after one dose of herbal medicine, all the players recovered, allowing the game to proceed as scheduled.

This matter...

The Raptors are the most ridiculous team.

Other teams were just watching the show, but the Raptors were one of the main players, which made everyone overlook them. Their emotions were running high all day. In the morning, they hoped that the Suns would give up and win without a fight. In the afternoon, they hoped that the Suns would be healthy and play a fair game.

......

When the Suns visited the Big Bang Bank players, the Raptors' general manager also came to the away locker room to offer his congratulations.

The opponent's concern was well-intentioned, and the Suns players had to accept it. So the general manager stayed in the away game's locker room for more than ten minutes and heard nothing but coughing. When he came out of the locker room, he laughed. He had never heard of food poisoning causing coughing. The Suns guys were such terrible actors.

The Lakers' game had just ended before the Suns and Raptors' game began.

Kobe scored 51 points to lead the Lakers to victory. After this game, Kobe has scored 40+ points in four consecutive games, including 69 points in the previous game.

Cummings told Wei Guo about it...

A league can have many top scorers, but only Wei Guo can be at the top of the pyramid. Kobe is declaring war on Wei Guo from afar. Wei Guo scored 60 points in the last game, and fans feel that he has accepted the challenge.

Wei Guo was very happy to hear that his friend scored 51 points in a single game.

Starting lineup for this match:

Suns: Nash, Richardson, Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire

Raptors: Alston, Peterson, Jalen Rose, Bosh, Arruyo

Alston faced off against Wei Guo last season. In the New York street scene, only the strong are respected. Wei Guo was the first professional player to defeat him with even more flashy moves than Alston.

Before going on stage...

Alston, straightening his clothes, stood on the sidelines. "Brother Wei, I heard you had food poisoning?"

"yes..."

Wei Guo said with a chuckle, "But it's all better now."

Alston stretched out his arm, and Wei Guo indeed bumped fists with him, which made Alston as happy as a thirty-year-old child. "I look forward to sparring with you!"

"Oh..."

Cummings laughed, "He's quite a brave man."

Cummings was overjoyed because, according to the league's announcement, Wei Guo's shot attempts were reduced by one in the last game. His game-winning shot was not counted as a shot attempt because it was not a foul, which means that Wei Guo still maintains his record of 100% game-winning shot accuracy.

......

Bosh and Stoudemire jump ball.

Although Bosh was only a second-year rookie, he was already the undisputed king of the team and earned the nickname "Dragon King".

"Smack!"

Bosh passed the ball to Alston.

Some fans say there are two demigods in the league. The demigod is Vince Carter, and the god is two people: one is the basketball god Michael Jordan, and the other is the streetball god Rafer Alston.

rumor...

Whenever Alston appears at Rucker Park's streetball court, the traffic and crowds on the nearby streets increase fivefold. Many NBA players are big fans of Alston, and Wei Guo also shows great respect to this streetball king who rose from humble beginnings.

He once faked out Alston during a game!

Is there a better way to show respect?

Alston dribbled the ball up the court, Arruyo positioned himself under the basket, and Bosh received the pass from Alston at a 45-degree angle, just inside the three-point line.

Ignoring Marion's defense... Bosh takes a fadeaway jumper!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

2-0!!!

The Raptors scored first.

Wei Guo said, "Last year really saw a lot of excellent players come in. If Bosh were on the same team as James and Wade, they would be invincible."

"Can those three combined defeat you?"

D'Antoni turned his head and asked a question.

"Three heroes fighting Lü Bu?"

Wei Guo stroked his chin. "Let's say it's 40/60, they get 40%, I get 666~"

This is just a hypothetical scenario. There is no trend of forming super teams in the league yet. James, Wade, and Bosh are all star players. Would they really lower themselves to form a super team for the sake of a championship?

Wei Guo also likes to stick together!

Teaming up makes the game easier and it's fun to dominate weaker teams... but it reduces the challenge. So he thought that in the last year of his career, he would pick a few friends to form a team and dominate the league!

......

Three minutes into the first quarter, Wei Guo replaced Richardson.

From this moment...

The competition has only just begun.

The player guarding Wei Guo was Jalen Rose. After Wei Guo received the ball, Jalen Rose asked out of the blue, "How many points can you score against my defense?"

What do you think?

Wei Guo held the ball with one hand, raised an eyebrow and asked.

Jalen Rose said, "I heard Kobe has scored 40+ points in four consecutive games, I think you can only get a maximum of 40 points!"

When provoking an opponent, they might say you can only score 10 or 20 points... but no one would say you can score 40 points. This isn't a sign of weakness; the entire league knows Wei Guo's terrifying scoring ability. Scoring 40 points is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Jalen Rose fights against the nation!

Even if Wei Guo gets past you, you can't let him shoot. If you get past him, your teammates can help defend, but if you get shot over the head, you really can't defend against it.

Not too many fancy moves...

With a half-turn fake move, Wei Guo took half a step back and launched a fadeaway shot!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

Jalen Rose looked dejected... He's been in the league for many years, averaging 22 points per game last season, which makes him a star player. However, he rarely has the opportunity to directly face Wei Guo, and he really didn't expect Wei Guo to be so difficult to defend.

Half-turn + backstep!

Such a simple move, which doesn't require two and a half years of practice and can be done by some children who have only been playing basketball for a few months, is surprisingly difficult to defend against in Wei Guo's hands.

"Buddy, don't worry about it!"

Alston patted Jalen Rose on the backside, "You're guarding Wei Guo."

Yeah... I'm defending the country!

Jalen Rose was relieved; he couldn't defend every single ball, he just needed to keep Wei Guo's score below 40 to succeed.

"Come on, I've faced Wei Guo before, and I can't stop him."

Alston encouraged Jalen Rose again, and after receiving the ball from Arruyo's baseline, he dribbled it across the halfway line.

The story of Kobe and Wei Guo going head-to-head has been widely circulated. Anyway, 40+ is the bottom line. If Jalen Rose can keep Wei Guo under 40 points, that will be his breakthrough game.
