NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 303 Wang Chong: The Bulls lineup is already strong enough and does not need reinforcements

How could the Bulls not be in a hurry? The constant loss of players has driven the management crazy.

The general manager was at a loss and could only ask Wang Chong for his opinion, hoping to see what remedies the team could make in the free market.

But Wang Chong acted very calmly and told the general manager easily.

"There are no problems with the team's current lineup. Don't worry. As long as there are no injury problems in the new season, we can definitely win the championship."

Are you kidding me? In the 12-13 season, Curry returned from injury. His average data per game has reached 23+4+7, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%. He is a top second player.

Gasol also won the best defensive player DPOY in the 12-13 season in the original time and space.

On the other hand, Jimmy Butler's performance was mediocre during the 12-13 season, but at that time the Bulls' main striker was Luol Deng. As Luol Deng's substitute, Butler only averaged 26 minutes of playing time per game, 8.6 points and 4 rebounds. Not bad either.

Next to Wang Chong, Butler's salary is much higher than when he was with the Bulls. Not only does he have stable playing time, but he also has a professional assistant team to tailor training plans for him. In addition, Butler himself works very hard. , his talent is also very good and his progress is rapid.

Wang Chong estimates that before the start of the new season, even if Butler cannot reach the All-Star level, he will definitely have no problem serving as the team's starting lineup as a defensive champion.

In Wang Chong's vision, the Bulls' starting lineup for the new season should be point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Jimmy Butler, power forward Wang Chong, and center Marc Gasol. .

Since the Lakers and Heat have played against each other, Wang Chong objectively judged that the Heat are actually slightly stronger than the Lakers, and their strength lies in the unified tactical system.

But he is also a standard ball-handling offensive player. The Lakers' Kobe and Paul are already strong enough in grabbing the ball, and adding another Crawford will only make it more chaotic.

Wang Chong now weighs close to 110 kilograms, which is actually not too light.

Los Angeles Lakers? Just kidding, this season's Lakers are not even a complete team in Wang Chong's opinion. The team's tactics and play were not unified until they won the championship. If Kobe is willing to delegate power to Paul like Wade did, he can feel at ease. As a scoring end point, the Lakers' situation will be much better.

Come next season, Wang Chong estimates that it will be difficult for the Lakers to break through from the Western Conference, for no other reason.

Yes, Wang Chong will switch to power forward again in the new season. Before Garnett joined the Bulls, Wang Chong played as a power forward for a period of time. However, after a few years, the current situation is no longer what it used to be. Today's Wang Chong Not only is Chong equal to the inside players in terms of height and wingspan, but he is also not much different on the technical level and is fully capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of the power forward position.

While the starting lineup is excellent, the team also has Isaiah Thomas and Draymond Green on the bench. Basically, there is no problem with the seven-man main rotation.

If Wang Chong hadn't burst out strongly and given the Heat a chance to comeback, the Heat and Lakers would have met during the finals, and the former would have had a very high probability of winning.

If Wang Chong still plans to stay with the Bulls, Jokic can be trained to replace Gasol.

The only exception is Nikola Jokic, but this problem definitely does not exist. As the strongest second-round pick in NBA history, Jokic participated in the draft in 2014 and is a player that Wang Chong cannot miss no matter what. .

Future insiders in the league will generally be in the 110kg to 120kg range, such as Davis, the thick-browed brother, and Rudy Gobert, the three-time best defensive player, all weigh under 115kg.

That’s why it’s said that the Lakers were lucky. The Bulls and Heat fought to the death, but the Lakers got the better of them.

Of the five positions on the Bulls, only Gasol is slightly less mobile. If necessary, Gasol can be replaced. Wang Chong will directly take the center position, allowing Drummond, who was selected this year, to With Green serving as a power forward, isn’t it time for the Bulls’ five deadliest players?

The Lakers were able to defeat the Bulls in the Finals this season entirely because the Bulls were so unlucky and injured half the team.

It doesn't take much. Even if Garnett is still there, the Bulls are fully capable of competing with the Lakers.

One advantage of Wang Chong playing power forward is that it is more in line with the league's gradual trend of becoming smaller.

Of course, that will be two years later. At least at this stage, Wang Chong is very satisfied with the Bulls' lineup.

In the next two or three years, Wang Chong can't think of any team that can threaten the Bulls.

Wang Chong doesn't think the Lakers' signing of Cats and Dogs in the free market will have any effect.

Jamal Crawford is indeed very strong and will win the Sixth Man of the Year award twice in the future.

Of course, before the start of the new season, Wang Chong will also use training modules to specifically strengthen rebounding and interior defense as usual, so that he can be more calm at the power forward position.

In the 12-13 season, the Spurs are about to gain momentum.

Wang Chong has always felt that the Spurs during the 12-13 and 13-14 periods were really strong. Even among the winning teams in recent years, they were one of the best. That was almost the ultimate teamwork. The team has a clear division of labor and is like a whole, impeccable!

As for this Lakers team, I am afraid that if they encounter a team like the Spurs, they will be broken at the first touch.

The Bulls' two biggest opponents in the new season are the Miami Heat in the East, and the Spurs in the West.
-
Wang Chong was well prepared and remained unmoved in the face of the turbulent free market. This posture confounded other teams in the league and the media.

what's the situation? Is Wang Chong giving up on treatment and preparing to lie down completely?

The Bulls lost the championship this season, and the problem is not with Wang Chong. Everyone agrees that if the Bulls can stay healthy, the Lakers will not be the Bulls' opponents at all. After all, the Lakers have lost two games against the remnant Bulls.

With Wang Chong, the number one player in the league, and the basic framework of the team still in place, with a little effort and the introduction of an All-Star-level player, the Bulls will still be the favorite to win the championship in the new season. Why give up?

Seeing Wang Chong lie flat and the Bulls give up, most teams in the league breathed a sigh of relief.

You're lying down well, I'm afraid you won't lie down!
Only when you lie down can we have a chance to compete for the championship.

The Bulls finally signed a few unknown ordinary players with basic salaries in the free market to fill the bench and prepare for the summer league.

Wang Chong will return to China in mid-July to report to the national team.

The 2012 London Olympics is about to begin. According to the national team training schedule, Wang Chong should return to China for training at the end of June.

But Wang Chong has been playing a big role in the national team for more than a day or two. His attitude of being aloof and needing everyone to fawn over is something that even the big guys in the Basketball Association are used to, and he has no temper at all.

There is no way, who makes Wang Chong awesome enough? Needless to say, he has achieved a series of achievements in the NBA. As a representative figure of overseas Chinese who have returned to their nationality, the privileges and care Wang Chong enjoys are unimaginable.

Basically, as long as Wang Chong doesn't commit any principled issues, no one dares to touch him.

And Wang Chong also knows very well that some people like to bully the weak and fear the strong. If he behaves in a low-key and humble manner, some people will definitely make trouble for him.

Therefore, Wang Chong has always shown a condescending attitude towards the Basketball Association, and the same applies to participation. In addition to the Olympic Games, even the World Championships must decide whether to participate based on the situation.

Wang Chong did not participate in the last World Championships.

After all, the influence of the Men's Basketball World Championships and the Olympic Games are completely different. The former is a game that only basketball fans will pay attention to, but the latter is a world event that everyone pays attention to. Of course it is different.

There is nothing the Basketball Association can do about Wang Chong's temper. Who makes Wang Chong's situation special?
Moreover, Wang Chong's demands are not unreasonable, they are all well-founded.

As the player with the most championships in the NBA in recent years, Wang Chong has to play many more games than other players in the NBA every season. He is physically exhausted, and it is normal to cancel some non-essential national team events.

Including Wang Chong being late for the national team training this time, the Basketball Association, not to mention complaining and condemning Wang Chong, even asked thoughtfully if he had had enough rest and whether he wanted to rest for a few more days.

The Bulls injured many players in one season, which scared the basketball association. They were afraid that Wang Chong, a great player, would follow in the footsteps of his teammates. If Wang Chong was injured due to fatigue during training, it would lead to the Chinese Men's Basketball Olympics. If the results are not good, they, the members of the Basketball Association, may also be liquidated.

There is no need to go into details about the 2012 London Olympics.

The Chinese men's basketball team, which has Wang Chong, Dayao and the United Arab Emirates, is only weaker than the American Dream Team. It is on the same level as or even slightly better than teams from Spain, Turkey, and Lithuania.

Due to the record ranking in the previous World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team was not a seeded team and was also assigned to Group C.

The Turkish men's basketball team, the top seed in Group C, cursed in their hearts, it was really unlucky.

In fact, this is also the case. In the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team won all 5 games and qualified with the first record in the group.

There is no way, Wang Chong is too strong in the international arena, it is simply a bug level existence, because Durant himself is also a bug in the international arena, and his unsolvable mid-range shooting ability is a regional association under the FIBA ​​rules. Beware of what you fear most.

Basically, as long as Wang Chong receives the ball, no matter who the opponent is, they are completely unable to defend him.

At the same time, in the international arena, Wang Chong's defensive power was also displayed to the maximum extent.

Being selected to the All-Defensive First Team for several consecutive seasons is really not just because of the bonus of fame.

Top-notch height and wingspan, coupled with the blessing of multiple defensive badges, as long as Wang Chong is serious, his defense will definitely not be inferior to Garnett in recent years.

The Chinese men's basketball team, which entered the knockout rounds with the first record in the group, defeated the French men's basketball team 91:82 in the quarterfinals, and defeated the Serbian men's basketball team 88:85 in the semifinals. After four years, it once again faced the American men's basketball team. Basketball finals.

However, in this final, Wang Chong failed to repeat the miracle of the 08 Olympics. The Chinese men's basketball team lost to the American men's basketball team 81:89 and finally won a silver medal.

Wang Chong is undoubtedly stronger and more invincible than he was in 08.

But the problem is that while he continues to grow and become stronger, Dayao's strength continues to weaken due to his age.

The Chinese men's basketball team's gold medal in 08 was definitely not won by Wang Chong alone. At that time, Dayao was the league's number one center in terms of strength. He would beat Howard every day, and his inside offense was almost unsolvable.

But by 2012, Dayao, who should have left the game and retired early due to injuries, was still fighting hard on the court, but the 31-year-old Dayao's physical deterioration was very obvious, first of all, his weight. Like O'Neal at the end of his career, Dayao The uncontrolled increase in weight made him bulkier and slower on the court. At the same time, the negative effect was that Yao's already poor physical strength was even more stretched.

It can be said that as long as Dayao can catch the ball in the low post on the offensive end and has sufficient physical strength, he still has no killer, but his slow pace on the defensive end has completely turned him into a defensive black hole.

The American Dream Team itself focused on small-ball tactics during the coaching period of Old K. It was highly mobile and fast-paced, and Dayao simply couldn't keep up.

Not to mention Dayao, the only one who can easily keep up with the American dream team in the Chinese men's basketball team is Wang Chong.

After talking about the problems of the Chinese men's basketball team, let's talk about the problems of the American men's basketball team.

The loss to the Chinese men's basketball team in 08, coupled with the long-term dominance by Wang Chong in the NBA, seemed to confirm the old saying - where there is oppression, there is resistance.

The lineup of the 2012 American Dream Team was unprecedentedly strong, led by James, Kobe, and Durant, and with the addition of Howard and Rose who were not injured, the lineup was ridiculously strong.

The most important reason why these stars actively responded to the call of the national team is that they are much more likely to defeat Wang Chong in international competitions than in the NBA.

Wang Chong is very strong, but there are no bugs that can crush the stars of the Dream Team. Otherwise, he would have led the remnant Bulls to defeat the Lakers in the finals.

Losing to the Dream Team in the Olympics is not a shameful thing. At least Wang Chong implemented James' traditional artistic skills in the game. If he lost the game, he did not lose. Faced with the pursuit and interception of James, Durant and others, , scored 44 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. One person scored more than everyone else in the team.

For Wang Chong, he has participated in three Olympic Games since his debut and won two gold medals and one silver medal. Not to mention the gold medal he won with the American Dream Team, he won a gold medal for the Chinese men's basketball team. One silver is priceless, and it is definitely the kind that can leave its name in history.

For the Chinese Basketball Association, as long as the Chinese men's basketball team can win a medal at the Olympics, it will be a success. No one will be disappointed because the men's basketball team cannot beat the Dream Team.

The decline in Yao's form in the past two years has been noticed by everyone. Some pessimistic fans even think that the Chinese men's basketball team may have difficulty reaching the semi-finals in the London Olympics.

Of course, this view is a bit too underestimated. Wang Chong is currently the number one player in the NBA and the only player who has the chance to threaten the number one player in Jordan history. This card must be given. (End of chapter)
