Even Iverson couldn't beat Wei Guo in a one-on-one game!
This result...
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Iverson was the scoring champion and one of the most capable scorers in the league, while Wei Guo was just a rookie.
Wei Guo is known for his top-notch physical talent, but no team chooses him because he can't play basketball.
Brown wanted to smash that scout's head in the head. Was Wei Guo's behavior considered bad at basketball? After smashing the scout, he gave him a warm hug. It was because of his scouting report that the 76ers were able to pick up a bargain in the draft.
The question is this: Wei Guo has proven himself capable of playing the shooting guard position.
But the backcourt duo of Iverson and Jones is also very effective, and they made it to the Finals last season. Would breaking up this duo abruptly affect the team's chemistry?
It seems...
It would be more reasonable to have Wei Guo as a substitute.
After pondering for a long time, Brown asked in front of everyone, "Weiguo, can you accept being a substitute?"
Most people think it's reasonable for a rookie to be a substitute.
Even someone as great as Kobe started as a substitute. Brown's question already showed Wei Guo respect. Wei Guo nodded and said, "I don't accept it."
"Um???"
Brown frowned. "If you don't accept it, why did you nod?"
Coach Thompson came over and advised, "Iverson is a shooting guard. If you don't play off the bench, then Iverson will have to play off the bench."
"Why can't Jones be the substitute?"
Wei Guo pointed at Jones, "I can play point guard too."
Brown, "???"
Wei Guo is 2.16 meters tall, only 2 centimeters shorter than Mutombo, making him the second tallest player on the team. It's already hard for people to accept him playing shooting guard, and now they're saying he'll play point guard?
Jones muttered, "Your technique is better than mine, but your dribbling center of gravity is too high, making it easy for opponents to steal the ball during the game."
The one-on-one duel just now...
Iverson made two steals, so Jones's point is valid.
Wei Guo said, "During the game, no coach approves of players using risky steals for defense. Besides... Magic Johnson can play point guard, so why can't I?"
There's only one Johnson on this planet!
"There is only one Weiguo on this planet!"
Wei Guo knew his own abilities; making him a substitute would be a joke, so he didn't want to be a substitute!
If you insist on making him a substitute... I'm not playing with you guys anymore, I'm going home to raise pigs!
Iverson, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "I think we can give it a try. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go back to point guard and let Wei Guo play shooting guard. I know Wei Guo's strength, and he will be the most important piece of the puzzle on our road to the championship."
Wei Guo didn't want to be a substitute...
Iverson understood perfectly; that was the pride of a strong player, and he didn't want to be a substitute either!
"Since that's the case..."
Brown, not wanting the players to argue over this, said, "Let's have Weiguo play point guard tomorrow against the Mavericks (Dallas Mavericks) and see how he performs."
......
That evening.
Wei Guo took Coach Thompson to the airport, and Coach Thompson boarded a plane and left Philadelphia.
He was pleased that a second-round pick could get the coach and teammates to accept his ideas and become a starter on the team, which meant that Wei Guo had established himself in the Philadelphia 76ers and he could finally leave with peace of mind.
Coach Thompson spent the time with Wei Guo. Although his cooking skills weren't great, Coach Thompson would still personally prepare dinner for Wei Guo and have a drink with him. After Coach Thompson left... Wei Guo returned to the empty villa and felt a little lonely.
Before going to bed...
Wei Guo glanced at his attribute interface and found two unopened gift boxes.
"What's going on?"
Wei Guo muttered to himself, "There's no competition today, so how come there are two extra gift boxes?"
"System, come out and explain yourself."
[Host, winning a one-on-one duel will also grant you a chance to draw a prize.]
"Such a good thing?"
Wei Guo's mind worked incredibly fast. Wouldn't that mean he could grind indefinitely... like taking Jones and having a one-on-one fight for a hundred rounds?
[One-on-one opponents are limited to professional players]
[You can only get one chance to win a prize by playing one-on-one against the same player.]
The system was worried that Wei Guo might misunderstand, so it explained a few words.
"Okay, okay!"
Wei Guo said impatiently, "System, you can leave now."
【(；′⌒`)】
The system is pretty good; these two chances to win prizes were a pleasant surprise. Wei Guo couldn't contain his excitement, rubbed his hands together, and opened the gift box.
[Ding! Ding! Ding!]
Thank you for your patronage...
"What the hell?! 'Thank you for your patronage'???"
[Ding! Ding! Ding!]
[Steve Nash Trading Card]
"Nash?"
Wei Guo muttered something under his breath.
He knew this player, the Mavericks' starting point guard, who could barely be considered a star, but not a superstar. Yet he'd drawn another point guard star card. Wei Guo was really going further and further down the path of point guard...
only...
What puzzled Wei Guo was that this player card was also gold. Did it mean that Nash hadn't reached the peak of his career yet?
Ignoring all that, he clicked on the 'Steve Nash Player Card,' and scattered golden light entered Wei Guo's body.
Let's look at the attribute changes:
Projection: 93
Dribbling: 85
Passing: 90
........
The biggest change is in passing. Previously, the passing attribute was only 79, but after obtaining the 'Steve Nash Star Card', the passing attribute jumped to 90, and the shooting also increased by two points. Although the system said that these attributes are constantly stacked, it is very difficult to increase a certain attribute after it reaches 90.
However, Wei Guo knew that Nash was quite accurate with his shots, and it would be a good thing to have two more points in his shooting range, which gave him more confidence in his own shooting.
......
The next morning, the 76ers flew to Dallas.
This was an away game, but Wei Guo also met another Chinese player, Da Zhi!
Wang Zhizhi played for the Dallas Mavericks.
Upon meeting Wei Guo, Da Zhi took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Wei Guo, I've seen you on the news. You're really great... You made the game-winning shot on your very first appearance."
"Hahaha..."
Wei Guo shook hands with Da Zhi. "I'm not very familiar with this environment either. I'll need your guidance in the future."
Wang Zhizhi laughed and said, "We're not on the same team, but we can exchange contact information after the game."
"Okay!"
He chatted with Dazhi for a few minutes, but Wei Guo's eyes never left the long-haired man.
(In this era, the Mavericks are called "Little Mavericks," I don't need to explain, I believe everyone understands, parallel world... parallel world... parallel world...)
