After the game, Hakeem Olajuwon told reporters, "I have to warn those old guys to watch out for Wei Guo. That kid has no sportsmanship and likes to bully older guys."
This match...
When Wei Guo defended against Olajuwon, Olajuwon did not score a single point.
Once Olajuwon and Wei Guo were in position, Wei Guo would actively ask for the ball.
His offensive tactics weren't fancy; he just relied on physical play against Olajuwon, pushing him aside to dunk, which made it particularly difficult for Olajuwon.
Just like he said...
If he were ten years younger, he would definitely crush Wei Guo.
......
Wei Guo returned to the locker room, and Dell Curry brought Stephen Curry to find him.
"master!"
Curry tugged at Weiguo's hand, "Can you teach me how to dunk?"
A dunk?
Speaking of this, Wei Guo suddenly remembered that when he first got the 'Stephen Curry Star Card', he tried to dunk, but with his height, wingspan, and jumping ability, he managed to miss the dunk.
"Take your master's advice."
Wei Guo patted Curry's head and said, "A dunk only gets you two points, but a three-pointer gets you three. If you want to stand out in the league, you need to master your strengths instead of learning some fancy tricks."
"!!!"
Dell Curry seems to have found a kindred spirit.
He was on the Raptors, and his teammate was Slam Dunk Champion Vince Carter. Carter would often tease Curry, performing various fancy dunks in front of Curry and even teaching him how to dunk. Dale Curry was always worried that Carter would lead Curry astray.
Wei Guo's words truly resonated with Dell Curry.
“Weiguo, I have another son named Seth.”
Curry said, "He's two years younger than Stephen, and I hope you can take him on as your apprentice."
Wei Guo gently shook his head, "I won't take on any disciple indiscriminately. I'll take a look at this child's physique when I have time. If his physique is good, I'll naturally take him on. If it's just average, then forget it."
Wei Guo is shrouded in mystery...
Even Seth Curry couldn't figure out Wei Guo's thoughts, but he still wanted to arrange for Seth Curry to meet with Wei Guo when the time was right.
Why did Wei Guo say that he did not accept disciples casually?
Without a single gold player card, you're not worthy of being Wei Guo's apprentice. There are only fifty gold player cards in the entire league, and Wei Guo has already obtained three: the Steve Nash card, the Karl Malone card, and the Stephen Curry card.
certainly...
There are many players in the league who, even if Wei Guo didn't draw them, would know that these people are definitely star gold cards, such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal, Bill Russell, Larry Bird... If you calculate it this way, in the next twenty years, at most a dozen or so players will be able to have star gold cards.
These players will be discovered gradually through lotteries.
That's why...
Wei Guo felt that the system was a bit stingy. You could only get one chance to draw a prize after winning a game. Even if you made it to the finals in a season, you wouldn't win a hundred games.
As for finding professional players to challenge one-on-one, where would you find so many professional players? With such a packed schedule, aside from his teammates, Wei Guo really can't find any opportunities to challenge other professional players one-on-one.
......
Speaking of the lottery, Wei Guo opened the lottery gift box after returning to the hotel.
[Ding! Ding! Ding!]
[Duke Mutombo trading card]
"Holy crap!"
Was this an unexpected turn of events? Mutombo got injured, and Wei Guo drew his player card, a silver one at that.
This is normal...
Mutombo has been in the league for ten years, has been selected as an All-Star, and has won the DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year) award. To say that he hasn't reached the peak of his career like Nash would be unbelievable to Wei Guo.
A silver trading card is fitting for Mutombo's status.
Mutombo is still in the hospital...
Wei Guo took out his phone and made a call to Mutombo.
"Old Mu, how's your injury?"
"It's nothing serious. The team doctor advised me to rest for two weeks."
"Only two weeks..."
"What??? How long do you expect me to recuperate?!"
"Haha..."
Wei Guo laughed and said, "I was just teasing you. Why are you so easily amused?"
"Hahaha... I'm slow to react."
Mutombo's hearty laughter came through the phone: "Don't worry, I'll be back on the field as soon as possible."
"Just focus on recovering and don't push yourself too hard."
"Uh-huh!"
After hanging up the phone, Wei Guo muttered to himself, "Only two weeks..."
Wei Guo certainly didn't like Mutombo's serious injury, but he wanted to take this opportunity to play center. When he first entered the league, Wei Guo said he was a shooting guard, but that was out of necessity because he lacked inside offensive skills, and his inside defensive skills and experience were also insufficient.
Now with the 'Karl Malone Star Card' and the 'Dikenbe Mutombo Star Card', plus Wei Guo's physical talent, he can be considered a formidable weapon in the paint, right?
......
The next day, Wei Guo saw that the basketball hoops in the stadium were being replaced.
I asked around and found out that all 30 teams in the league have replaced their basketball hoops and reinforced the rims, backboards, and hoops. Nobody wants to see a situation like the Raptors'.
It's incredibly embarrassing to have your basketball hoop shattered by an opponent's dunk...
Because of the replacement of the racks, training for the day was suspended. Some players stayed in the gym to do some impromptu strength training, which Wei Guo didn't need; he only needed to participate in the lottery.
Bored, Wei Guo returned home, waiting for the next match.
That's how boring life is in the US. No one has a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It seems like all Wei Guo can do besides play basketball is stay at home drinking and watching movies.
......
The 76ers' next opponent is the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' Miller leads the assists list with 10.6 assists per game, while Wei Guo ranks second with 10.1 assists per game.
This could barely be considered a competition between two assist kings.
If Wei Guo gets 10 more assists than Miller in this game, he will surpass Miller to rank first in the assists list.
Scoring champion + assist champion!!!
Very few players in the league have ever won both the scoring title and the assist title, and it is even rarer to win both honors in the same season. With a quarter of the regular season already over, many people are already predicting that Wei Guo is very likely to accomplish this feat and win both the scoring title and the assist title in the same season.
so...
The game between the 76ers and the Cavaliers was also highly anticipated.
