NBA: James wants to team up with me

Entering the playoffs, the Lakers are basically invincible in the Western Conference.

Although there are two good teams in the Western Conference, the Spurs and the Clippers, it is obvious that they are no match for the Lakers. The Lakers lost even more miserably than last season without Durant.

The reason is very simple. Durant is a player with a similar style to Wang Chong. He is a version of Durant with weakened offensive firepower. With Wang Chong's physical strength, he can fully support the offensive firepower left vacant by Durant's departure.

But Jokic is different. He has the inside offense that the Lakers have been lacking in the past few years.

In today's league, there are only a handful of inside players who have both superb inside offensive capabilities and outside shooting capabilities, and Jokic is among the best.

This undoubtedly makes the Lakers' offense more diversified and more difficult to defend.

In terms of offensive scoring, the Big Three combination of Wang Chong + Thompson + Jokic is more than enough.

On the defensive side of things, Wang Chong and Green are both top defensive players at the best defensive player level, and Thompson's outside defensive ability is also good. The Lakers can be said to be fully utilized on both offense and defense.

After easily breaking through the Western Conference, the Lakers met the Chicago Bulls again in the finals.

But no one had any doubts about who would win the final championship.

4:0, the Bulls, who had defeated the Bucks, Celtics and Raptors in the Eastern Conference, were defeated badly.

Although Curry and James have good personal statistics, it is difficult for them to help the team win.

Wang Chong won the eleventh championship in his career and officially tied the King of the Rings Bill Russell at the age of 35, becoming one of the players with the most NBA championships in the world.

However, for Wang Chong, his record-breaking journey has just begun.

In the 2019-20 season, Wang Chong, who averaged 30 points per game, lost the scoring title competition to Harden, who averaged 34 points per game, for the second consecutive year. However, no one paid attention to James Harden, the only person to win the scoring title twice in a row in the Wang Chong era.

Because this season, Wang Chong broke the NBA historical total score record of 38387 held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the beginning of the season, and his career total score exceeded 4 points during the season, becoming the first 4-point man in NBA history!

This is a record that is almost miraculous. At present, it seems that James is the only one in the entire NBA who has a slight possibility of catching up with Wang Chong. But the problem is that James and Wang Chong are close in age. Wang Chong achieved the achievement of 36 points at the age of 4. James may have to maintain his current state until he is 38 years old to catch up. The premise is that James does not miss a large number of games due to injuries during this period, and the league will not suspend games or reduce the number of games due to natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Of course, people are not actually interested in when James will be able to follow in Wang Chong's footsteps, enter the 4-point club, and become the second 4-point man in NBA history. They are more interested in how long Wang Chong, who is already 36 years old, can maintain such strong and efficient scoring in the future, how many championship trophies he can win when he retires, and how he can raise the total score in NBA history to an unprecedented level.

In the 19-20 season, the final championship was still won by the Lakers. Wang Chong achieved his 12th championship and successfully held the record for the most championships in NBA history.

This season, although Wang Chong's scoring only remained at the 30+ level, his other statistics have improved. He averaged 30+11+10 in the regular season, becoming the second player in the new century after Westbrook to average a triple-double. However, the value of his triple-double is obviously much higher than Westbrook's.

After the end of this season, the Bulls disintegrated because they failed to even make it to the finals. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they were defeated by the completely evolved Antetokounmpo and Durant, who was still at his peak without a torn Achilles tendon.

James did not stop his fight against Wang Chong.

After opting out of his contract, he chose to join the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent. At the same time, the Clippers used Paul as a bargaining chip to trade for top inside player Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans, once again forming a super aircraft carrier lineup.

But similar situations have happened countless times in the past, and it is really hard for people to believe that the superstars can defeat Wang Chong by joining forces. Moreover, James at this time has obviously become much weaker than he was in the previous two years with the Bulls. Even though he can still fly and escape on the court, and is still the fastest and sharpest one in fast breaks, his ability to control the rhythm of the game has obviously deteriorated significantly.

Even James' fans have to admit at this time that James' era is gone forever... No, to be precise, his era has never come.

Throughout his career, he has won one championship, one FMVP, and two MVPs. These are the highest honors James has received in his entire career.

If all these honors were earned through hard work on the Cavaliers, his historical status might be ranked within the top 20. After all, regardless of anything else, James is indeed second only to Wang Chong in terms of statistical data, and few people can match him in NBA history.

However, James' only championship was won by joining the Bulls, a championship-contending team. In addition, he was suppressed by Wang Chong throughout his career, so it is really difficult to evaluate him.

However, there is no dispute about Wang Chong's historical status, and no one would rank Wang Chong second.

First in history!

In 2024, Wang Chong, who turned 40, officially announced his retirement, and a legendary era officially came to an end.

In his 21-year professional career, Wang Chong has won a total of 15 NBA championships, 7 regular season MVPs and 15 Finals MVPs, as well as countless other small honors such as All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive Team.

What is even more shocking is the data accumulated in his career.

When he officially retired, Wang Chong's regular season career statistics were 4 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assists!

As the first person in the grand 411 project, Wang Chong's achievements will probably still be mentioned from time to time even after decades or even hundreds of years, because he is the strongest basketball player in the world, the real god of basketball!

After Wang Chong announced his retirement, James, who was also 40 years old and was drafted in the same year as Wang Chong, teamed up with Curry, Durant, Leonard, Davis and other US men's basketball elites to successfully win the 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal, helping the US men's basketball team to regain the glory of the Dream Team. He then announced his retirement before the start of the new season in October.

When Wang Chong retires, it is clearly James' best chance to chase the championship. Although he is not strong enough at this time, he is at least at the All-Star level or even the best third team level. If he chooses to take a pay cut and become the second or even third in command of a team, he will definitely have a chance to win the championship.

But James, who has fought with Wang Chong all his life and lost all his life, is tired. It is not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue. Especially when Wang Chong retired, James seemed to have lost his goal in an instant and felt that everything was boring. He even lost the interest in performing on the same stage with his son Bronny.

During his retirement speech, James was so moved that he cried.

"My career is not perfect. Everyone says that the runner-up is the biggest loser, and I am probably the biggest loser in NBA history, but this is not my biggest regret."

"My biggest regret is that I have never teamed up with Wang Chong in my 21-year professional career."

-

The successive retirements of Wang Chong and James made the league seem like half of the sky had collapsed. Although there are still many top superstars, it is obviously not enough to support the NBA's ratings and attention.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Chong.

2028, Los Angeles Olympics, USA.

The Chinese men's basketball team, which has not participated in the Olympics since Wang Chong retired from the national team after winning the silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, finally won a ticket to the Olympics again with the efforts of a group of new generation young players and returned to the Olympic stage after 12 years.

In order to increase the topic, the Basketball Association hopes that Wang Chong, who has retired and is enjoying life, will serve as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team and help the Chinese men's basketball team regain its former glory.

Wang Chong readily agreed to this request, but at the same time he also put forward an additional condition, a condition that left everyone in the Basketball Association stunned.

A few months later, at the Los Angeles Olympics, everyone who followed basketball was shocked to see an incredible scene.

The head coach is warming up!

Wang Chong, who was already 44 years old at this time, was not only the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, but also a member of the twelve-man roster!

What the hell is going on? Wang Chong was invincible when he was a player, but now he is 44 years old. Can he still play on the court at this age? Don't be kidding!

However, Wang Chong, the head coach and starting player, seemed very relaxed when facing media interviews.

"After four years of rest, I really miss the arena that I have long found boring. There are 82 games in an NBA season, and a whole year is too long. A competition like the Olympics that can be finished in half a month is more suitable for me to satisfy my cravings."

Wang Chong's remarks were naturally criticized by all walks of life, especially in China. Wang Chong, who had retired for four years, was finally caught by various black fans and criticized.

"After retiring, Wang Chong has obviously gone to who knows where! He is like Michael Jordan who made his third comeback. He thought the world belonged to him, but reality made him realize how cruel the world is. He is being irresponsible to sacrifice the Chinese men's basketball team's hard-earned return to the Olympics!"

"The hope of reviving the Chinese men's basketball team will be completely destroyed by Wang Chong!"

Amidst a chorus of criticism, the Olympic Games began.

Then, there was no sound.

In the group stage, head coach Wang Chong played a full 40 minutes in every game, averaging 41 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists per game, leading the Chinese men's basketball team to first place in the group and into the quarterfinals of the Olympics.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Wang Chong, who was flying and omnipotent on the field.

This guy is 8 years old? No, this guy is 44 years old? If you don’t know, you would think he is 24-year-old Wang Chong!

It’s still not right. How could 24-year-old Wang Chong be so awesome?

With this level, let alone playing in the game, even if he returns to the NBA to play, he will still be able to beat everyone!

Now everyone finally believed it. Wang Chong probably chose to retire because he felt that winning in the NBA was too boring and lonely. After all, he has been retired for four years and is still in such good shape. How could it be impossible for him to win four consecutive championships?

Wang Chong led the Chinese men's basketball team into the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and finally met the U.S. men's basketball team in the final.

At this time, the backbone of the U.S. men's basketball team was first-line stars such as Tatum, Booker, and Edwards, many of whom had never even played against Wang Chong.

This final also allowed them to personally experience the fear of being dominated by their predecessors in the league.

In the 40-minute game, Wang Chong did not rest for even a minute. He played the entire game and scored 71 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists!

The Chinese men's basketball team only scored 94 points in total, 89 of which were directly related to Wang Chong.

The Dream Team members were stunned. Is this how basketball is played?

This is the third time that the Chinese men's basketball team has won the Olympic gold medal since 2012.

Standing on the championship podium, the other players of the men's basketball team still had expressions of disbelief and confusion.

A year ago, they were still struggling for a place in the Olympics and almost missed out on even the wildcard round, but now they’ve won the championship?

Who am I? Where am I? Can anyone tell me what that golden thing around my neck is?

But what made them most nervous was what Wang Chong said in an interview with the media after he came down from the podium.

"This Olympics has brought back the excitement of playing professional basketball. It's a great experience. I will seriously consider participating in the Olympics in Brisbane, Australia in four years, provided that the young men's basketball players can qualify for the Olympics."

Oh my goodness, the 2032 Brisbane Olympics?

Wang Chong will be almost 5 by then! Is it possible... No! Although it seems absurd, it is Wang Chong who said this! He is the miracle in the history of basketball, the true god of basketball. What is impossible for him? -

(End of the book)

I'm sorry everyone, the finale took a while to come out because of various delays.

I tried to start a new book during the update of this book, but I obviously overestimated my ability. Opening two books at the same time still distracted my attention. Although the initial data of the new book was good, because I was writing two books at the same time, the plot was not well designed, which led to big problems. I also made an error when modifying the chapter and accidentally clicked the delete chapter, which led to a break in the update. The system stopped intelligent push, and the follow-up reading was interrupted, forming a vicious cycle. I had no choice but to switch books.

But after all, I rely on this job for a living, so after the old book is finished, I will start a new book in the next two days. I hope that friends who like the stories I write will support me. The data of the new book period of Qidian is very important. Once you don’t read enough, there will be no subsequent recommendations. Thank you all very much. I will continue to do my best to write wonderful stories for everyone to enjoy reading.
