"Go and finalize this, then go to Houston and buy me a bigger house."
Wei Guo gave an order, then added, "How much money do you need to buy a house... just ask my dad directly."
This is the source of the confidence of the rich second generation.
Looking at his house in Philadelphia now, Wei Guo feels it's shabby. He was too embarrassed to ask Wei Dafa for money back then, and he felt bad for several days after spending millions to buy a villa.
Xiaxia asked, "Brother Wei, how big of a house do you want?"
"An area that's one-thousandth the size of my house would be fine."
"thousandth???"
Xiaxia was surprised. Weiguo lived on a vast grassland, the area of which was measured in square kilometers.
Xiaxia had also been to Wei's country, taken by Zhang Xiaoduo. He counted on his fingers for a long time, "One square kilometer equals one million square meters. If Wei's house is calculated at two hundred square kilometers, that's two hundred million square meters. One-thousandth of that is two hundred thousand square meters... Does Houston have houses that big?"
Two hundred thousand square meters?
Wei Guo muttered, "You're really good at math. Britney and I really can't live in a house this big. Just buy a house that's a few thousand square meters."
Two hundred thousand square meters is indeed a bit too big.
Wei Guo was just saying it casually. Although his family's home was large, most of it was grassland. He wanted to find a place with mountains and water, preferably not far from the stadium, with a building area of one or two thousand square meters and a total area of several thousand square meters.
After he moves out...
The name "Former Residence of Wei Guo" can also fetch a good price for this house.
......
"Um... okay!"
Xiaxia scratched his head; he truly couldn't imagine the happiness of the rich.
......
The quarterfinals of the 2002 FIBA World Championship had not yet begun.
The biggest news in basketball this summer has emerged...
Wei Guo signed a one-year, $51 million maximum contract with the Houston Rockets, setting a new record for the highest annual salary in league history.
Back in 1997, Jordan signed a one-year, $33.1 million max contract with the Bulls. This super contract was outside the salary cap, and the league introduced many new rules for this contract. Jordan's free agent signing that year also created the largest free agent contract in history.
These new regulations issued that year paved the way for the defense of the country.
Wei Guo successfully broke the record set by Jordan with a one-year, $51 million maximum salary contract.
You should know...
That year, half the teams in the league had a combined total of less than $50 million in player contracts. The Rockets were no exception; excluding Wei Guo, the remaining players' contracts totaled only $40 million.
Wei Guo's top-salary contract caused a sensation, but not much, because everyone knew that Wei Guo deserved the contract.
Although Wei Guo only played in the league for one year, with MVP, DPOY, FMVP, scoring title, rebounding title, block title, All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team honors, he deserves any contract.
What truly caused a sensation was... the new owner of Wei State was finally identified.
With the biggest suspense of the offseason resolved, teams now need to prepare for the new season.
Wei Guo joining the Rockets is also a good thing for other teams. With the 76ers, Wei Guo has Iverson by his side, and both of them are top players in the league.
But the Rockets have fewer supporting players.
Francis is a decent player, but he's far inferior to Iverson, especially considering the Rockets didn't even make the playoffs last season.
The 76ers, with their national team, are almost unstoppable, but the Rockets, with their national team, can still be countered.
........
Ever since learning that Wei Guo had joined the Rockets, Yao Ming's mouth has been wide open; he's been smiling the whole time.
Anyway...
At least he has someone protecting him on the team.
China's men's basketball team will face Argentina in the quarterfinals, a team whose strength is surprisingly comparable to that of the United States.
Ginobili has already shown his talent.
During the game, he relied on his sharp breakthroughs to constantly attack the Chinese team's basket.
Starting point guard Sanchez also performed well, although Scola is still a bit inexperienced. However, the strongest point of the Argentine men's basketball team is not the players, but their gorgeous teamwork.
This coordinated attack repeatedly broke through the Chinese team's defense.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese men's basketball team was still down by 7 points.
In the second half...
The Chinese men's basketball team changed their tactics, with Li Xun focusing on shutting down Ginobili and Wei Guo providing help defense at any time.
Ginobili is restricted!
Wei Guo realized that this was not the strongest Argentine men's basketball team. Two years later, this team would be even stronger, and when they met again, they might pose some difficulties for the Chinese team.
However, this team is still too young.
At the start of the third quarter, Ginobili's offense failed to find its footing, while Wei Guo scored 13 points with a combination of inside and outside shots, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to take the lead. Argentina's momentum was immediately extinguished.
The strength of the nation!
No one on the young Argentine team could contain Wei Guo's performance one-on-one.
Very soon...
The Chinese men's basketball team then widened the score gap.
"Beep!!!"
As the final whistle blew.
97:81!!
China's men's basketball team narrowly defeated Argentina's men's basketball team 16-10 to advance to the semifinals.
......
Reaching the semifinals is a record that the Chinese men's basketball team has never achieved before.
The entire team was extremely excited.
Only Wei Guo remained very calm. Since the start of the World Championship, even the US men's basketball team has not been able to cause much trouble for the Chinese men's basketball team.
and...
News just came from next door: the US men's basketball team has lost again.
Now, the US men's basketball team can't even make it to the semifinals. For the Dream Team, which once achieved a winning streak of over 50 games in international competitions, failing to even reach the semifinals is a true Waterloo.
The Chinese men's basketball team has no rivals left in the World Championships.
In the subsequent semifinals, the Chinese men's basketball team once again easily defeated their opponent, ultimately meeting Nance in the finals.
This is a strong team.
The NBA has six active players, second only to the US men's basketball team. In the final, the NBA also adhered to the spirit of "friendship first, competition second".
They ultimately lost to the Chinese men's basketball team 99-73.
Although they lost the game, they won the friendship of the Chinese men's basketball team.
......
Thus, the 2002 FIBA World Championship came to a close.
The Chinese men's basketball team lifted the championship trophy in a world-class basketball competition for the first time, and the whole country rejoiced.
Wei Guo also met Wei Dafa's expectations of him.
Even in peacetime, we must use our own strength to defend national honor. Under Wei Guo's leadership, Chinese basketball has finally risen and entered the ranks of the world's strongest teams.
