On April 3, Beijing time, the 35-year-old Lu Wei played against the Nets at home to the Eagles, and he ushered in the milestone of 1,000 career substitute games, becoming the first person in NBA history to achieve such an achievement, and is expected to continue to break such a record.
As a second-round pick in 2005, Lou has entered the 17th season of his career and has played 1122 games in his career so far, but only 122 of them have started and as many as 1000 have been off the bench.
Lou Wei became the first player in NBA history to reach 1,000 games on the bench, and the top four players in history to make the most appearances on the bench were:
1. Lu Wei substituted 1,000 games
2. Curry's father, Dale Curry, came on as a substitute for 985 games
3. Crawford, who has just announced his retirement, has come on as a substitute for 894 games
4. The current Warriors coach Kerr has 880 games on the bench
Lou Wei has won the Best Sixth Man trophy three times in his career, and it is sad that in 2015, 2018 and 2019, hi was elected the best of the week three times. Although Lou Wei has spent most of his career as a substitute, his offensive prowess is there for all to see and he is one of the NBA's legendary sixth-man representatives.
