NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 42: Fighting Anthony again, I am no longer the same person as before!

"Wang Chong scored 33 points in his summer league debut and his offense was unstoppable!"

"The king of the mid-range! With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 09 meters, Wang Chong is extremely difficult to be interfered with and blocked when shooting. He may become the best player on the court like Bird and Nowitzki. A tough scorer to defend.”

After the first summer league game ended, the local media in Los Angeles praised Wang Chong's performance.

On the one hand, Wang Chong's performance is indeed good. On the other hand, the Lakers also want to use Wang Chong to create hot topics in order to divert the negative impact of the increasingly fierce Kobe Eagle County incident on the team.

This kind of result is what Wang Chong is very happy to see. The media is willing to praise him and quickly increase his popularity. This is of course a good thing.

After all, the increase in popularity will bring a lot of commercial endorsements, which will be free money.

For many NBA players, the real bulk of their income is not the salary paid by the team at all, but a large number of advertising endorsements.

Like James, he signed a super sneaker contract with Nike before he joined the NBA.

Dayao also received a large number of commercial endorsements at home and abroad because of joining the NBA.

Although Wang Chong's annual salary of more than one million yuan in the team is already an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, it is actually a bit small in the NBA. The more extra money he can earn, the better.

However, during this period, many reporters had ulterior motives and asked him for his views on the Kobe Eagle County incident.

To be honest, regarding the Eagle County incident, whether the woman was a fairy or a real thing will always be difficult to determine, even in the future.

But one thing is undeniable. Even if the woman is a fairy, it is an indisputable fact that Kobe had a relationship with his wife during her pregnancy.

This is fundamentally different from Harden who misses nightclubs every day and Howard who has more than a dozen illegitimate children. After all, no matter how much fun Harden and Howard have, they are still single and not married.

Even a country as free as America is still a monogamous system and will condemn cheating and infidelity within marriage.

Therefore, this matter of Kobe cannot be cleared up in any way.

But Wang Chong couldn't say this in front of the media, because he knew very well that although Kobe's reputation fell to the bottom due to this incident, the league would not give up on him, and Stern had no intention of giving up on this high-quality idol who was most like Jordan. The Lakers Team owner Buss will also not give up on Kobe.

When Wang Chong first arrived, he was just an insignificant and transparent person in the Lakers team, and there was no need to get involved in right and wrong.

So no matter how reporters made insinuations, he remained tight-lipped and kept silent about Kobe.

Wang Chong's attitude also relieved the Lakers management.

"Although Wang Chong is not very old, he is much more mature than Kobe."

The Lakers are already in a precarious stage because of Kobe's rhythm, and they really can't make any more mistakes.

The summer league abuse journey continues.

Wang Chong, who scored 33 points in his first game, continued his strong performance in the second game, scoring another 29 points against the Dallas Mavericks. The limelight was unparalleled for a while. In the entire Southern California Summer League, only the Nuggets Carmelo Anthony's performance is comparable to Wang Chong.

But even Anthony's performance was not as explosive as Wang Chong's.

In two summer league games, Anthony scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 25 points, 11 rebounds respectively. Although his performance was very good, he was slightly inferior to Wang Chong.

Of course, Nuggets fans don't think this is a performance that Wang Chong is better than Anthony.

<divclass="contentadv"> "What's so great about scoring points in the summer league? The opponents are all weak chickens. It's not that Cameron can't score 30 points, but he just can't raise points against opponents who are too weak. His desire to attack.”

"Wang Chong, don't be complacent for too long. We are about to meet on the court. This time you don't have Wade to protect you. In a one-on-one duel with Anthony, are you your opponent?"

Anthony accumulated a lot of fans in high school and college, at least not more than James. Many of them were due to Wang Chong restricting Anthony in the NCAA finals, which caused Syracuse University to lose the NCAA championship. Wang Chong was deeply hostile.

Now that I see that Wang Chong is actually playing well in the summer league, and his data is slightly ahead of Anthony, he will naturally feel more and more unhappy.

They are also looking forward to the next game between the Nuggets and Lakers, and firmly believe that when the two teams meet and Anthony and Wang Chong face off again, they will definitely be able to defeat each other and avenge the NCAA finals!

They didn't wait long for this day.

Soon, the Lakers faced off against the Nuggets in the summer league.

July 7, Southern California Summer League.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets.

Originally, summer league games didn't attract much attention at all, but today's game was completely different. A lot of fans, spectators and media reporters gathered before the game.

After all, this is the second battle between Anthony and Wang Chong.

The feud between the two was settled in the NCAA finals.

Originally, Wang Chong was not qualified to be compared with Anthony. Whether it was in terms of strength or draft pick, the gap between the two was not even a little bit big.

But Wang Chong's performance in these summer league games is really a little too weird. It feels no worse than Anthony, James and others. People can't help but wonder that in these short few months, Wang Chong's strength has actually improved again. Has great progress been made?

Curiosity about Wang Chong's strength, coupled with the topical matchup itself, made this game second only to the Cavaliers James' debut at the start of the Orlando Summer League on July 7.

Before the game even started, Wang Chong and Anthony had already locked eyes with each other on the edge of the field.

Anthony's eyes were more dull. After all, he did not regard Wang Chong as his opponent at all. Among the rookies in 03, the only one worthy of being his opponent was LeBron James.

Now because of the failure in the NCAA finals, Wade can barely be regarded as half of his opponent.

But this definitely does not include Wang Chong.

Although Wang Chong caused him a lot of trouble on the final stage, it was more because he underestimated his opponent.

In his opinion, Wang Chong's defense was not particularly difficult, but his height and wingspan made him a little uncomfortable. In addition, Wade was able to double-team and help defend just right, which made Anthony, who was somewhat irrational at the time, make the wrong move on the field. judge.

After calming down, Anthony reviewed the final. If he had the chance to do it again, he would definitely beat Wang Chong to pieces!

But unfortunately, Anthony's wish may not be realized.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

Anthony probably never dreamed that in these short two months, Wang Chong had already experienced two evolutions, and his current strength was different from what it was before.

"I am no longer who I was before!" Wang Chong looked at Anthony with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "In this game, I want everyone in the league to recognize this!"
