Wei Guo did not leave the court; he was stopped by Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Old man..."

Wei Guo said, "I need to take a shower first. I'll pick you up in a bit, and you can stay at my place tonight. We can talk slowly then."

"good!"

Russell readily accepted Wei Guo's invitation.

......

The main focus of the post-match press conference was Mutombo.

Wei Guo said a few words and then left; not a single media reporter dared to stop him.

"Huh? Big brother..."

Coach Thompson saw Russell and Wei Guo walking together and went up to greet them, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Russell took Coach Thompson's hand and said, "I'm going to visit Wei Guo's family tonight. You were his college coach. Come on over."

"emmm..."

Coach Thompson didn't know what to say.

He had been living in Wei Guo's house all this time, but he just didn't expect how Russell had been abducted by Wei Guo.

Wei Guo drove, with the two old men in the car.

Halfway there, Wei Guo, as usual, packed some late-night snacks to take home.

Coach Thompson and Russell chatted while holding hands.

Listening to their conversation, Wei Guo realized that the two had known each other for a long time and had even been teammates.

Russell entered the league in 1956, and Thompson was selected by the Celtics in 1964. He only played two years in the NBA as Russell's backup, but also won two championship rings with the Celtics during their heyday.

These two people have quite a history.

"Young friend from Weiguo..."

Russell looked at the table full of food and asked, "Do you usually eat like this?"

Wei Guo was selecting wine. "Is there a problem?"

Russell said, "No problem, it's fine to have it once in a while."

"Occasionally?"

Coach Thompson shrugged. "Brother, you don't know, he eats like this every day."

Russell said, "You can't eat like this every day. Athletes need a scientific diet to maintain their competitive edge."

"To hell with scientific recipes."

Wei Guo selected the wine and asked with a smile, "Did you have scientific recipes in your time?"

"No! In our time..."

Russell laughed, "It's a fucking scientific recipe."

"That's right~"

Wei Guo walked to the table with his wine. "Today's players talk about scientific diets all the time. If they were in your era, they would still get crushed by you."

Russell laughed and said, "Weiguo's words resonate with me perfectly."

Speaking of smashing...

Wei Guo felt like he had forgotten something, and it wasn't until he poured baijiu for Russell and Coach Thompson that he suddenly remembered!

"Grandpa, let's have a one-on-one match."

Wei Guo said.

"A one-on-one duel?!"

Russell pointed to his nose, "I'm almost 70, you want to fight me one-on-one?"

Wei Guo pulled Russell aside and said, "Just playing around, I'll give you 11 points, consider it as you coaching me."

There is a basketball court outside the Weiguo Villa...

This basketball court is just for show; it's finally come in handy today.

Russell was genuinely trying to mentor Wei Guo. When he got the ball and faced Wei Guo with his back to the basket, he patiently explained the back-to-the-basket technique to Wei Guo and instructed him on how to defend against the opposing center's attack.

Russell's offensive ability is not outstanding; his greatest strengths are his defense under the basket, rebounding, and shot-blocking abilities, which are top-notch in any era.

Wei Guo listened patiently to Russell's explanation. He understood all of this... and was quite proficient in it. After all, he owned a 'Bill Russell trading card'. The reason he was patient was simply for a chance to win a prize.

Russell spoke while attacking.

"bang~~~"

The hook shot missed.

"Getting old~ Getting old~"

Russell didn't care and passed the ball to Wei Guo, saying, "You take a chance to attack."

Wei Guo's offense certainly doesn't rely on physicality; he simply moves around the basket a few times before shooting a fadeaway jumper.

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went through the net cleanly.

that's all...

The one-on-one duel ended quickly, and Russell, now warmed up, said to Wei Guo, "Let's go get some drinks."

"No rush..."

Wei Guo's gaze fell on Coach Thompson. "Let's have a one-on-one duel."

"Me??? Fight you one-on-one???"

Coach Thompson shrank back. "Then we might as well go for a drink now."

Russell blinked and advised, "Dude, you can stretch your legs, really... it feels good to stretch, and you can have a couple more drinks later."

Thompson reluctantly walked onto the court.

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

Weiguo won the battle with four consecutive three-pointers.

Coach Thompson, “…”

Is this an event? When Wei Guo told him not to change the serve and then took the ball to prepare for the attack, Coach Thompson realized that Wei Guo was making fun of him.

......

"Wei Guo, you must punish yourself with a cup of wine."

Russell raised his glass. "No matter how good our relationship is, what you just did was bullying an old comrade."

Coach Thompson laughed, "You're punishing him by making him drink? It's the same as not punishing him at all..."

Eating and drinking makes you sweat profusely!

After finishing their meal and drinks, Russell and Coach Thompson went back to their rooms to rest. Wei Guo tidied up the table, took out the trash, and then went back to his room as well.

"call..."

Wei Guo leaned back and collapsed onto the bed.

He was so clever! He'd been with Coach Thompson for so long, yet he'd completely forgotten about the ready-made raffle prize box. It wasn't until Bill Russell arrived that Wei Guo remembered it.

No matter how old they are... they're still professional players!

Three more lottery gift boxes appeared in my mind.

The first one was won in tonight's game, the second one was won in a one-on-one match with Coach Russell, and the third one was won in a one-on-one match with Coach Thompson.

Click on the first one...

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

Thank you for your patronage.

"Garbage system!"

【╮(╯﹏╰）╭】

Click on the second one...

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

Jason Williams trading card

A silver player card, not bad... White Chocolate, Wei Guo still remembers this player. They've played against each other twice this season. Even Wei Guo thinks that this guy plays incredibly flashy. Maybe it was because of those wildly imaginative passes he made today that he got this player card.

Click on the third one...

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

John Thompson trading card

"???"

Wei Guo was very surprised to receive this player card!

Aren't trading cards only available in gold, silver, and bronze? What's with this platinum trading card?!

and...

John Thompson is Coach Thompson. He's been in the league for two years, averaging 3.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. This should be a bronze-tier player card... But after Wei Guo clicked on this player card, he suddenly realized!
