NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 284 Wang Chao: James, stop sprinkling chalk.

"The Rockets defeated the Warriors 4:1 and entered the finals. This is the fourth consecutive year that the Rockets have entered the finals, and it is also Wang Chao's tenth consecutive season that he has entered the finals."

"In the past nine finals, Wang Chao successfully won the O'Brien Cup six times and won six championships. The three finals he lost were lost to Wade O'Neal in the 05-06 season. The Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe in the 07-08 season and the Miami Heat in the 11-12 season."

"Although he lost three times in the finals, Wang Chao never had an overnight feud. He won back immediately after losing to his opponent. In the two consecutive seasons after losing to the Lakers in the 07-08 season, Wang Chao led the Magic to defeat the Lakers in the finals. The Lakers won the championship and also defeated the Miami Heat led by James Wade in the previous two seasons."

"Now, Wang Chao and James are standing on the stage of the finals at the same time for the fourth consecutive year. If the Rockets win the cup again, the final matchup between Wang Chao and James will come to 4:1, and if the final winner It's the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the score of 3:2 will not make James look too bad in front of Wang Chao."

Before the finals, various media were analyzing the finals from multiple angles and aspects.

Wang Chao vs. James has been the most hyped and discussed focus topic in the past few years.

James, who has only one MVP, one championship and one FMVP trophy, is a bit lackluster in terms of honors compared with Wang Chao, who has five MVPs, six championships, and five FMVPs. But looking at the league, he can't find anyone who can match Wang Chao Target players who are still in their prime.

Therefore, James can be said to carry the expectations of thousands of fans in the United States, hoping that James can break Wang Chao's monopoly and end the reign of terror of the Great Devil.

From the point of view of the lineup, the two teams are comparable. The Cavaliers side is more star-studded, but the Rockets side has three players with the best lineup and the best defensive lineup. Referring to the standard, the Rockets are undoubtedly still on the upper hand.

However, before the start of this game, Wang Chao probably also had some psychological preparations. The process of this finals will definitely be more difficult.

There is no other reason. The current Rockets have indeed become a thorn in the side of the entire league, including the official NBA league. They don't want a team that dominates the entire league to emerge.

The situation where the princes are united and divided by the heroes is more conducive to the suspense and appreciation of the game.

Last summer, former NBA president David Stern officially resigned, and the new league president is still the stinky businessman who hates even mentioning his name.

It is undeniable that during that guy's tenure, the commercial value of the NBA continued to soar. Both the team and the players made a lot of money, and the player's contract almost doubled from the current stage.

But in the same way, various controversies followed one after another. The referee whistled and punished the game, deliberately praised certain stars, and even betting insiders and so on.

Wang Chao, who was a fan before the crossing, was not interested in these things at all, and he didn’t know much about them. Now, as a player, he is also not interested in this, but the various rumors and trends before the game have given him some psychological Be prepared, at least for now, the vast majority of fans don't want the Rockets to win three consecutive championships and create a dynasty.

In order to conform to the thoughts of most fans, and at the same time to win James, the national idol of the United States, the Rockets probably don't want to have a whistle during the finals.

Of course, whether to whistle or not, in Wang Chao's view, it is just a difficult process. In the face of absolute strength, 5-on-8 can still win the game.

The current strength configuration of the Rockets is not bad at all. In fact, if you want to compare it, I am afraid that except for the 12-win Rockets in the 13-72 season, that is, Dayao, Garnett is still at the end of his peak, and he still has absolute strength in the interior. The strongest dominance outside that period.

Even during the three consecutive championships of the Magic, the lineup is not as good as this year. After all, Leonard and Butler, who have grown up, are definitely trustworthy partners. More importantly, Wang Chao's personal strength will only increase. Year by year stronger, more comprehensive, more impeccable!
Even with the referee's help, the Cavaliers' lineup is strong enough to put the Rockets in a tough fight, but Wang Chao still has the confidence to win the game and win the three consecutive championships.

On June 6, the first game of the NBA 4-2014 season finals officially kicked off at the Toyota Center Arena, home of the Rockets.

This battle of focus was undoubtedly broadcast live by sports channels all over the country and even around the world.

CCTV Sports Channel specially sent Director Zhang to Houston to interview Wang Chao.

In view of the particularity of CCTV sports and the relationship with the Rockets, Director Zhang and others entered the arena one hour before the game, and interviewed Wang Chao who came to the arena to practice warm-up in advance.

"Wang Chao, I'm sorry to interrupt you for a few minutes to do a brief interview."

Director Zhang knew very well that Wang Chao's warm-up rhythm should not be interrupted, so the question was short and direct.

"The finals are about to start. It seems that you are ready to fight. Do you have confidence in your seventh championship in your career?"

"Of course." The slight warm-up made sweat appear on Wang Chao's forehead. With a smile on his face, he said to the camera: "I am ready for the championship, and I am full of confidence. No matter who the opponent is, I cannot Block my steps towards the best in history."

"It is said that Dayao will officially announce his retirement after the finals, and he has withdrawn from the Huaguo national team earlier. Dayao's retirement is a heavy blow to Huaguo basketball. The general lacks a big support, what do you think about this? In the 2016 Rio Olympics, how far do you think the Huaguo men's basketball team can go?"

Wang Chao shook his head slightly: "The cruelest thing in the world is not victory or defeat but time. It is inevitable for Dayao to leave the arena. Similarly, I will also leave this stage one day in the future, but talented people come out from generation to generation. I have been leading for hundreds of years, and in the future Huaguo basketball will definitely continue to have outstanding basketball players like Dayao and me to win glory for the country."

"Okay, thank you Wang Chao." Director Zhang immediately took over the topic and said: "Wang Chao has sufficient confidence in the future of Huaguo basketball. His confidence comes from the youth training system that has been gradually implemented in Huaguo. Fans and friends of Chinese basketball know that, as the most outstanding athlete in China, last year Wang Chao spent [-] million US dollars to cooperate with many domestic schools to establish a complete youth training system on campus. Gifted kids get bursaries and a whole host of…”

Director Zhang also came with a mission this time. With the help of the influence of the finals, he further promoted the Huaguo basketball youth training system funded and established by Wang Chao.

After a year, Wang Chao spent [-] million US dollars, plus the promotion of Yao, the Basketball Association and other forces, and now it has begun to take shape in China.

During this period, the operator of CUBA, Fei Fei Sports under Li Ning, took the initiative to find the person in charge of Wang Chao's youth training project, hoping that Wang Chao could cooperate with them to combine youth training with CUBA to create an NCAA that belongs to Huaguo.

This idea is good, and many people, including Dayao, were moved.

Basketball youth training is a big project, and it is also a bottomless pit for swallowing money. It is difficult to really achieve results with Wang Chao's financial strength alone. It will undoubtedly be much more convenient if it can be combined with CUBA, which has been in operation for more than ten years.

However, Wang Chao, who was the only beneficiary, refused without hesitation.

As a fan who traveled from 2023, Wang Chao is very clear about the nature of domestic CUBA and what the so-called youth training system looks like.

He can vigorously rectify and reform the system to make CUBA truly transform, but not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, it will also touch the interests of many people.

It is far more difficult to imprint on a piece of paper that has already been scribbled on than on a blank piece of paper.

Therefore, Wang Chao decisively chose to start anew. Even if he invested in the establishment of a new youth training league, it would be better than messing with CUBA. Anyway, he is not short of money. He just keeps throwing money into it every year. someone's pocket.

In one year, more than ten schools have reached cooperation with Wang Chao and participated in his newly established league. The current name of this league is tentatively named Wang Chao Cup. Every year, there are summer games, winter games and finals. In addition to the bonus, Wang Chao also specially hired a large number of trainers and coaches from the United States to discover and train youth training talents in major universities.

Under the vigorous promotion of all walks of life, the popularity of the Wang Chao Cup has become very high. There are also many sports brands who want to inject capital, but Wang Chao blocks them. , First of all, we must do a good job in the league.

The NCAA was not profitable at the beginning, and it was because of this that a pure basketball league system could be established. As for making a lot of money from various business activities later, it was also complementary after the system was perfected. At that time, the capital It is not so easy to change the essential structure of the league with capital injection.

In the final analysis, Wang Chao's biggest role in this is to pay the money and finalize various decisions.

The detailed implementation is still in the charge of relevant experts. In 1, 2014 million US dollars was very valuable. In addition, Wang Chao will inject 5000 million US dollars every year in the future. When the capital chain is sufficient, things will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Maybe a few years or more than ten years later, Huaguoneng will really have its own NCAA league, a complete youth training system, and a steady stream of high-quality and potential basketball players.

This is also what Wang Chao brought here after traveling through time.
The topic is far away, let us draw our attention back to the finals.

Soon after, fans began to pour into the Toyota Center Arena, and the whole stadium became noisy and lively.

The Rockets fans who entered the home court put on jerseys representing the colors of the home team one by one, looking forward to the start of the game.

Director Zhang, who had done a brief interview earlier, was also explaining on the spot.

"The atmosphere at the home court of the Rockets is very warm. This is a team with championship blood. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the three consecutive championships. I believe that the audience friends in front of the TV are also the same."

While speaking, the big screen at the scene changed, which immediately aroused bursts of cheers from the fans in the audience.

On the big screen, a slender beauty was sitting on the sidelines holding a pink and jade-carved little girl. Any Rockets fan who was a bit gossipy would not be unfamiliar with this.

This beauty is the well-known former Victoria's Secret supermodel Miranda Kerr, and the cute little girl in her arms is Wang Keer, the daughter of her and Wang Chao.

Since becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child last year, Miranda has stepped out of the modeling circle and started to concentrate on raising her baby. By the way, she also serves as the CEO and chief designer of a fashion brand that Wang Chao funded and acquired.

The fashion brand is currently named after Miranda.

This season, Miranda has also appeared in the Rockets' home games many times to cheer for Wang Chao, but this is the first time that she has appeared on the field with her daughter Wang Ke'er.

Little Keer, who is less than one year old, looks chubby and very cute. She has perfectly inherited her mother's genes. Although she is still a little girl with a small nose, she can see that she will be a beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future. .

I have to sigh again, Wang Chao is really an enviable winner in life.

When Wang Chao introduced the players, he deliberately came to the front row and kissed his daughter, which drew wild cheers from all the fans.
-
The pre-match warm-up is over, and the starting players of both sides remain on the court.

James habitually ran to the technical stage to sprinkle magnesium powder, but was stopped by Wang Chao before he could do it.

"Hey, didn't you see Little Beibi over there? You're spreading all over the sky and it's not good for children."

James: "..."

As the father of three children, James expressed his understanding of Wang Chao's mood, and could only put down the magnesium powder bottle with a constipated expression.

The commentators Barkley and Kenny Smith who saw this scene in the studio were all happy.

"Is this also part of Wang Chao's strategy? It's really a smart guy not to let LeBron sprinkle chalk before the game to affect his state."

On the stage of the finals, in the TNT studio, of course, the ace commentary partners all joined the battle, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and the big shark Shaq O'Neal.

"Shaq, this year's two finals teams, which side do you prefer to support?"

Hearing Kenny Smith's question, O'Neal immediately said without hesitation: "Needless to say, of course I support LeBron. First of all, he is my former teammate. Secondly, he is now fighting for his hometown, Cleveland, and wants to support LeBron." This is the first championship trophy from a city that has never had four major cup championships. Last but not least, Wang Chao is about to win his second three consecutive championships. Winner, I certainly don't want to be added between him and Jordan, just like a ridiculous clown, when people mention the most dominant player in the future, they will think of Wang Chao and Jordan, and they will never think of Shaq The name."

When O'Neill said this, he was eccentric and very funny, with an appearance of revealing the dark side of his heart, and the program was very effective.
