NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 382: Follow Brother Chao and donate tens of billions a year!

Overnight, Wang Chao's personal promise to donate a total of US$100 billion within a year in a live broadcast spread across the country and triggered a strong response.

This is 100 billion US dollars, close to 700 billion Chinese national currency, not 100 million, 100 yuan or something.

It is inevitable that Wang Chao's words will cause a sensation.

After being shocked, the first reaction of most people was to confirm the authenticity of this matter.

No matter whether Wang Chao has that much money or not, since he said this, if it is a fraudulent donation, the saliva of Chinese netizens alone can drown him alive.

The customer service numbers of several charities accepting donations shown in Wang Chao's computer screenshot were all paralyzed in a short period of time. Many agency staff had gone home to sleep, and were called up again urgently to work overtime overnight to verify the authenticity of the donations. After all, this matter is too important.

Then, the next day, a well-known domestic charity issued a public statement, saying that after their investigation and evidence collection, there was indeed a remittance from overseas in the process, amounting to US$5000 million, and the signature of the donation was none other than Wang Chao.

Like dominoes, following this organization's announcement, more than a dozen other charities also issued statements confirming the authenticity of the matter.

Now the crowd was really dumbfounded.

Wang Chao actually donated?And it was 30 billion U.S. dollars, directly donating his entire net worth?
This is not over yet!

Three days later, the WH city government officially released the news on television.

"We would like to thank the well-known basketball player Mr. Wang Chao for his donation of 100 billion Chinese national currency to the disaster area. On behalf of all the people of WH City, we would like to extend our most sincere thanks and blessings to Mr. Wang Chao."

The WH city government was the last to express its public thanks. They did not officially issue a public statement until the donations were fully received.

When all donations are counted, it is indeed 30 billion US dollars, no more, no less!

The whole country was shocked!

Isn't this TM too exaggerated?

Wang Chao donated 30 billion US dollars alone. What is the concept?
In 2020, Forbes also ranked the market value of NBA teams.

The New York Knicks ranked first with $46 billion, the Lakers ranked second with $44 billion, and the Warriors ranked third with $40 billion.

The No. 4 Chicago Bulls have a market value of only 32 billion, and the fifth-place Celtics have a market value of 31 billion.

Further down, the remaining 25 NBA teams have a market value of less than 30 billion!
This means that Wang Chao’s donation can easily make him the boss of any of the 25 teams in the league!

This is not the most exaggerated, because Wang Chao said that in the next year, he will donate a total of 100 billion US dollars to Wang Jianlin!

This means that Wang Chao can buy the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, the two most valuable teams in the NBA, at the same time!
It's hard to imagine what the NBA team owners thought when they learned this fact.

Everyone knows that Wang Chao is rich, but who would have thought that Wang Chao is so rich?And he was so generous, donating 100 billion as soon as he asked.

Even Ballmer, the owner of the Clippers and a world-class rich man worth over 500 billion, dare not say that he is willing to donate 100 billion.

Up to now, some people may still question whether Wang Chao can come up with 100 billion US dollars. This may be just bragging, but such voices have obviously become much quieter, and their confidence is seriously lacking.

There is no other way. Let’s put aside whether the 100 billion can be used. Wang Chao has actually donated 30 billion US dollars. This is an established fact.

Even if Wang Chao doesn't donate enough 100 billion in the end, can he still be questioned for criticizing him?Is the US$30 billion donated earlier not money?

Many Wang Chao fans have even shouted slogans at this time, calling on Wang Chao to calm down and donate according to his ability.

They were really afraid that Wang Chao would accidentally donate money to himself and go bankrupt, like Iverson who couldn't even afford a hamburger when he was in such a state of desperation.

But their worries were obviously overblown.

Wang Chao's actual assets are 300 billion, not the 30 billion that many people agree on.

And in the past few years, Wang Chao has also invested in many industries. His family is big and his business is huge. Even if his net worth is not as good as Ballmer's, it is at least comparable to Jack Ma, Ma Huateng and other top Chinese tycoons worth close to 400 billion.

And there is one obvious difference between Wang Chao and them, that is, his assets have basically been successfully cashed out, and almost all of them are capital flows, so as long as he is willing, he can withdraw more than 200 billion in cash at any time.

As for donating money, Wang Chao also thought very clearly.

Unlike entrepreneurs such as Ballmer, Jack Ma, and Ma Huateng who worked hard little by little on their own, his money was completely opportunistic. It was obtained by relying on the foresight and foresight of time travellers. It was entirely due to luck.

Although luck is also a part of strength, the success of Jack Ma and Ma Huateng is also accompanied by a lot of luck.

But Wang Chao still felt that the money was too easy to come by and too unreliable.

After acquiring more wealth than he could spend in his lifetime, Wang Chao had the idea of ​​using the wealth he acquired to give back to society.

He does not have the idea of ​​​​making unlimited money to make money like most capitalists, just spend enough.

Let alone 300 billion, for ordinary people, even 10 billion is basically enough to live a life of luxury and luxury, and it can also leave a lot for their children.

Therefore, Wang Chao spent the money without feeling distressed at all, and even felt that it was worth the money.

As for choosing such a high-profile live broadcast donation, he also had his own considerations.

On the one hand, even though he had already donated, he still had to make it louder and let more people know about his feat to satisfy his vanity.

He is not a compassionate saint, and it is not a sin to have some vanity that he wants to show off.

More importantly, on the other hand, Wang Chao actually wants to use this method to set up other wealthy people, celebrities, and capitalists in the country, and force them to donate more money.

Wang Chao donated 100 billion US dollars in one donation. You, the richest man in China, the richest man in Asia, etc., only donated 1 or 2 million in a long time, and it was still Chinese national currency. How can you be so stupid?
This is why Wang Chao chose to donate 100 billion in three installments.

The first donation of 30 billion is just to attract others. After a while, he will make a second donation, also 30 billion, also a live broadcast donation.

At that time, Wang Chao's live broadcast room will activate the gift function, and cooperate with a certain music official to donate all the gifts received as donations. By then, if other domestic capitalists continue to choose to turn a blind eye, then they will probably be used to it. Netizens who criticized others from the moral high ground were sprayed all over their bodies.

One day later, the Clippers played a home game.

When Wang Chao was in the locker room, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was strange.

His teammates looked at him with something strange in their eyes.It was a look like looking at a rich man.

It seems that the news of his live broadcast donation in China spread extremely fast, and it is already known to everyone even in the United States.

This is not surprising. After all, in the Internet era, news spreads extremely fast. What's more, Wang Chao's generous donation of US$30 billion with a wave of his hand is extremely rare in the world.

Everyone knew that Wang Chao was a rich man before, but the rich man with a net worth of 30 billion and the rich man with a donation of 30 billion are completely different concepts.

Wang Chao, who originally had absolute authority in the locker room, now no one dares to question it. Even the head coach's voice is weak when talking to Wang Chao.

In the United States, a country where capital is respected, being rich means having everything.

Wang Chao is also mentally prepared for this. Why bother with so much?Just feel good about yourself and that's it!

Before you know it, the schedule has entered February.

As of early February, the Clippers had a record of 2 wins and 44 losses, continuing to lead the league. According to this winning rate trend, the Clippers are very likely to achieve a record of more than 5 wins after the regular season, or even break through 67 wins. impossible.

In 49 games, Wang Chao's personal data was as stable and efficient as ever. His average data gradually increased to 32.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game, which is Wang Chao's signature triple-double per game.

If this pace continues, this season's regular season MVP may be snatched away by Wang Chao again.

However, as the mask incident escalates, the situation not only in China but also in the United States has gradually become dangerous.

Although it is early February, the league has actually already had the idea of ​​temporarily suspending the season.

The biggest fear of masks is the spread of the virus. NBA games are definitely occasions where people gather together. With tens of thousands of spectators gathering in an arena, it is really easy for the virus to spread.

But suspension is not that easy. As a business league, the NBA's suspension will cost a huge amount of money, which is an unbearable huge loss.

Therefore, even if the problem of masks becomes more and more serious, the NBA still insists on not suspending games, and the All-Star Weekend will go on as scheduled.

On February 2, the captain selection session for the All-Star Weekend was conducted live during the entire event.

Wang Chao and Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo, as the All-Star vote kings and captains in the East and West, will broadcast the entire selection process live.

As the total vote leader, Wang Chao has the right to be selected first. This is also a good opportunity for him to avenge last season's All-Star James.

During the entire selection process, Wang Chao followed the example of James last year and did not mention the opponent's name at all. Antetokounmpo also seemed to have the intention of showing off the effect of Lao James's program. The result was that the players who would be the All-Star starters were selected. After 7 games, only James was left behind, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had no options, was finally chosen to take over.

This is obviously a slap in the face, a slap in the face.

James was miserable enough. Last year, the All-Stars deliberately ignored Wang Chao, but he was beaten by Wang Chao in the All-Star game, causing Wang Chao to set the All-Star historical scoring record. It can be said that he lost face.

Unexpectedly, this matter was not over yet. A year later, in the 2020 All-Star Game, he was again treated in kind by Wang Chao.

So can James, like Wang Chao, repay the anger he received during the All-Star selection process with his personal performance on the All-Star game stage?I'm afraid it's unlikely.

It is now recognized throughout the league that there is a huge gap between the league's stars, led by James, and Wang Chao in terms of strength, just like Jordan's dominance over other stars of the same period in the 90s.

Even Jordan needs Pippen to truly dominate the league, but Wang Chao proved that even without Howard, Dayao, and Durant around him, he can still continue to win championships and maintain dominance.

This is enough to prove that Wang Chao's dominance in this era is far greater than Jordan's dominance in the 90s.

What Wang Chao can do in the All-Star Game, James may not be able to do, especially when the two are on two teams and Wang Chao comes to defend James personally.

I'm afraid James will definitely suffer this loss.

And indeed it is.

Fast forward to February 2th, the 14 All-Star Weekend was officially held in Chicago.

Let’s ignore the previous minor competitions. On February 2, the All-Star Game begins.

Wang Chao's team faced off against Antetokounmpo's team and staged a wonderful and fierce battle.

After a "fierce battle", the Wang Chao team finally had the last laugh, and the winner of the All-Star MVP for the Wang Chao team was Rockets forward Kawhi Leonard.

In the entire game, Leonard made 18 of 11 shots, including 14 of 8 three-pointers. He transformed into Wang Chao and Curry. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and won the All-Star MVP.

Wang Chao and James, the two focuses before the game, were very low-key in this game.

James only played 18 minutes, contributing 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and then went off the court to rest until the end of the game.

Obviously, he had planned to give up the All-Star Game in advance. After all, James is a very smart person. There is no point in spending energy and energy to fight with Wang Chao in the All-Star Game. Who will remember that it doesn't matter? All-star game?
Being able to defeat Wang Chao in the playoffs and win the championship trophy is what really matters.

James, whose competitive ability has declined with age, wants to retain his physical fitness for the sprint in the second half of the regular season and the playoffs.

Seeing James paddling, Wang Supernatural lost any interest in the All-Star Game and just left the game to the "young" players.
-
That's the end of the All-Star Weekend.

In fact, due to the mask incident, both the number of spectators and the live atmosphere of this All-Star event are far less than before.

As the epidemic worsens, the league has begun to cast a haze.

But even at this time, the league is still wavering on whether to suspend the game, unwilling to give up huge benefits.

It's just that the development of things is not something they can control.

Time came to March, and just like in the original history, Rudy Gobert, who played for the Denver Nuggets instead of the Utah Jazz, deliberately touched all the microphones after the press conference as a prank.

This kind of "vulgar" humor was immediately strongly criticized by various media, and before Gobert could stand up and publicly apologize, the news that he was "sheep" spread throughout the league.

On March 3, Gobert was tested positive, and then on March 11, the league officially suspended the season, and further notice will be given when the competition will be resumed.
