NBA: James wants to team up with me

After the Olympic Games, Wang Chong did not stay in China for too long and soon returned to the United States. It was not that he had nothing to do in China. On the contrary, as the hottest superstar in the Chinese sports world, Wang Chong's domestic status was A lot of things have been piled up for a long time. Various TV station interviews and commercial endorsement invitations have been scheduled until the beginning of next year.

But no matter how many things happened, Wang Chong still returned to Chicago as soon as possible.

Because Jessica Alba is pregnant.
The two have been married for a year. According to ordinary people's lives, they should have had a baby by this time.

But Wang Chong and Jessica are in special situations. They are both a basketball player and a movie star. They are both busy people who need to travel around the country. They usually spend less time together and stay away more often. Their living conditions are actually not suitable for having children.

However, in the second half of 2012, the movie "The Avengers" was released. In the next year, Jessica did not plan to make any more movies. Her next movie was Marvel's Captain America 2, in which she played a black man. The role of the widow, but the filming of this movie will not start until the second half of 13, which is completely sufficient time.

Therefore, during the few days of rest in early July when Wang Chong did not report back to the national team, he and Jessica were basically working hard to have a baby.

After confirming her pregnancy, Jessica moved directly from Los Angeles to Chicago. She will prepare for pregnancy here in the next year, which is a rare time to be with Wang Chong for a long time.

In fact, because of Wang Chong, Jessica Alba's fate has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, she would get married in 08 and give birth to her first child in the same year, and then gradually fade out of Hollywood.

By 2012, Jessica was already the mother of two children.

But now, Jessica will not give birth to her first child until 13, and her own fame and achievements in film and television have far exceeded her original self.

Wang Chong doesn't know which kind of life will make Jessica feel happier, but now he and Jessica are both happy, so there is no need to bother others.

In the following time, Wang Chong stayed with Jessica almost every day, living a sweet world together.

Time flies so fast, it’s already early October in the blink of an eye, and the Bulls begin to gather players to prepare for the new season.

This is the first time that Wang Chong feels so reluctant to play. He really feels that if the league is also suspended this season, it will be great to resume the season by the end of December or even next year.

But complaints are complaints, and work still needs to be done.

On October 10st Media Day, all members of the Bulls gathered together to take their final makeup photos for the new season.

This season can be regarded as the season where the Bulls' lineup has changed the most in recent years. Many players on the team have left the team, including the former No. 2 player of the Bulls, Kevin Garnett.

The main makeup photos of the new season were taken by Wang Chong, Curry and Gasol. These three people are also the Bulls' Big Three that the media has previously recognized... Although the configuration of the Heat's Big Three is a bit lower than that of the Lakers, But with Wang Chong raising the upper limit, it is not offensive to call them the Big Three.

Looking at the current Bulls lineup, Chicago fans feel like their hearts are bleeding.

Sure enough, it is not that easy to maintain a long-term championship team.

With this lineup, the Bulls may not have a chance to win the championship this season.

What fans can expect now is that after the free market opened in the summer of 2013, the Bulls management did not mess up like this season. They actively operated and traded for an All-Star player in his prime. Chong is still young and can regain competitiveness when he is in his prime.

But this is just to think about it. There were no decent big fish in the free market in the summer of 13. After 2013, Curry’s rookie contract ended. After re-signing, the Bulls did not have enough salary space to sign anyone from the free market. .

What Bulls fans can expect is that Wang Chong is strong enough to lead this not-so-perfect Bulls team to a championship.

After the makeup photos were taken, the press conference and media interviews were conducted as usual.

Immediately, reporters eagerly asked Wang Chong questions.

"Mr. Wang Chong, the Bulls' lineup this season can be regarded as the weakest since 2007. The team has suffered a serious loss of personnel and there has been no fresh blood added this summer. What do you think of this? What do you think of the Bulls in the new season? What kind of results will it produce? Is there still a chance to compete for the championship?”

Wang Chong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Good guy, how long have you been holding this in? The problem is like a barrage of fire.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the reporters in the audience, Wang Chong smiled and shook his head, "You are wrong. I don't think the current Bulls team is the weakest lineup after 07. On the contrary, I think the current Bulls team is the weakest after . The bull is no weaker than before.”

As soon as Wang Chong said this, the reporters were stunned. They did not expect that Wang Chong would say this.

But it's not over yet.

"You have only seen some people in the Bulls getting old and some leaving the team, but you have not noticed the rise of young players. Apart from anything else, it is absolutely true that Stephen Curry and Marc Gasol can be called the Bulls' Big Three with me. Well deserved."

"Stephen is recovering well after the operation. He will have no worries in the new season and can fully realize his super talent. And Mark finally has the opportunity to fully demonstrate his abilities after Garnett leaves. He can definitely replace him." Kevin has become the Bulls' new interior defensive pillar and core."

"Apart from these two, the other Bulls players are also very good. Danny Green, a high-quality 3D player, Jimmy Butler, who works hard and can make up for his shortcomings, and Yi, who can compete in the league with a height of only 1 meters." Seiya Thomas, I’m sure that the Bulls in the new season will never be weaker than the Bulls in the previous four consecutive championships.”

Wang Chong's words were so impassioned that the players whose names were called were so excited that they had the urge to die for their confidants.

Although several people did not speak, they had silently made up their minds in their hearts. They must not live up to Wang Chong's expectations. Even if they had to fight with their lives, they would still achieve good enough results and slap those who looked down on them in the face!

The reporter who asked the question was stunned for a few seconds and asked again immediately after he recovered.

"Since you have such a high opinion of the current Bulls team, what is the Bulls' goal for the new season? To win the championship?"

"Of course." Wang Chong nodded immediately without thinking: "The Bulls have only one goal in the new season, to regain the championship. We want to regain the championship that was lost due to injuries last season!"
-
"Bold words for the new season! Wang Chong: The Bulls will take back our championship!"

"King-like confidence, the current Bulls are no worse than when they won four consecutive championships, we are very strong!"

"Is he confident or blindly confident? His career that was too smooth in the past may have turned Wang Chong into a blind and arrogant player, causing him to lose the correct judgment of the team's strength and his own abilities, and commit arrogance. Wang Chong, who is guilty, is likely to face Waterloo this season."

"If this season fails, Wang Chong will have no excuses like injuries to use as a fig leaf."

The media is like this. It will spare no effort to praise a person, or do everything possible to crush a person to death.

Wang Chong has been in a high position for too long. As the recognized number one player in the league, there are too many people who want to see Wang Chong fall down and have someone replace him, no matter who that person is.

And one thing to say, with the Bulls' current lineup, everyone really can't see why Wang Chong can say that the Bulls are not as strong as they were during the four consecutive championships.

Amid all kinds of doubts, the preseason began. During the preseason, Bulls fans still have a little bit of expectation, hoping to see any new changes in this Bulls team.

But they were disappointed.

Wang Chong's usual routine is to fish in the water in the preseason. Not only him, but also the main players of the Bulls did not play much in the preseason. The substitutes took up the main playing time, which made the Bulls have a poor preseason record. The winning rate is just over 50%.

After the preseason, ESPN ranked a new season's strength list as usual.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who have just won the championship and have introduced several capable players, are firmly ranked first in the strength list, followed closely by the Miami Heat, who are also equipped with the Big Three.

The Boston Celtics ranked third with a neat and young lineup.

The San Antonio Spurs were ranked fourth due to their perfect team coordination.

In fifth place, we have the four consecutive championships, the Chicago Bulls.

This ranking caused dissatisfaction among many Bulls fans, and it was obviously ranked low.

Ranking fifth in the league is certainly high among thirty teams, but it is low for the Bulls.

It's not as good as the Lakers and Heat. Why are the Celtics and Spurs ranked in front of the Bulls? Are you assuming that Wang Chong does not exist?

But this is the result that ESPN wants. Sometimes, controversial rankings are more likely to cause topicality. This is the traffic password.

Besides, it's not that they don't believe in Wang Chong, they just simply don't believe that Curry and Gasol can hold up the title of Big Three.

Under all kinds of disturbances, Wang Chong always behaved very calmly and was not anxious at all.

There is really nothing to rush about. As the regular season continues, he and the Bulls will slap these people in the face with their actual performance.

公牛队在2012-13赛季常规赛的揭幕战，于12年10月31日开启。

In the first game of the new season, as usual, the Bulls still face their powerful rivals, the Miami Heat.

Now the relationship between the two teams has risen from strong rivals to mortal enemies.

James' shocking move failed to allow the Heat to reverse the comeback, but directly eliminated the Bulls' championship. In the eyes of the Bulls, the Heat are their mortal enemy.

Stern understands the traffic code and knows what the fans want to see, so he arranged the game between the two teams.

But he also knew that due to the grudges in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the two teams might have friction in the new season, so he specifically told the referees to control the intensity of the penalties in this game and not give the two sides a chance to intensify the conflict.

At the United Center in Chicago, home of the Bulls, the Heat were greeted by a large number of boos as soon as they took the court.

Although the Bulls' home atmosphere is not a devil's home, the fans are still quite aggressive when they are angry to a certain extent.

Facing the overwhelming boos, James remained expressionless and acted as if no one else was around.

Wade had a wry smile on his face. He had a good relationship with Wang Chong and James, but it was really embarrassing to be caught in the middle now.

In the end, he didn't take the initiative to say hello to Wang Chong, and Wang Chong also ignored Wade.

The tense atmosphere between the two teams was no less intense than when they were arguing on the field. They were now enemies.

Of course, off the court, the two are still good friends and good brothers.

In fact, Wade had already spoken to Wang Chong before coming. After the game, he would be a guest at Wang Chong's home to visit Jessica during her pregnancy.

In a tense atmosphere, the game began.

Looking at the Bulls' starting lineup, Heat coach Spoelstra frowned.

Point guard Curry, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Jimmy Butler, power forward Wang Chong, and center Marc Gasol.

This lineup looks a bit mediocre, especially at the forward position. An unknown second-year pick is placed at the small forward position. For this reason, Wang Chong is not willing to switch to power forward. There must be some reason for this. .

It soon became clear to Spoelstra why.

In the jump ball session, the Bulls won the ball and took the lead.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court and stood at the top of the three-point line. At the same time, all the other Bulls players scattered. It was really scattered. Except for Gasol, the other four players all dispersed. Outside the three-point line, there are two bottom corners, one 45-degree angle on the right, plus Curry's top three-point arc.

The Heat's inside line was evacuated in an instant, leaving only Gasol and Bosh.

Curry immediately hoisted the basketball into the paint. Gasol caught the ball and hit Bosh with his back. He easily squeezed into the basket and made a hook layup.

"It's this move again... specializing in the inside."

The Heat, which specializes in small-ball tactics, are most afraid of attacks from big men inside. Gasol is much heavier than Bosh and cannot be defended at all.

In the past, when Garnett was still around, the Heat could help defend a little. After all, although Garnett has the ability to shoot from long range, his distance and lethality are limited.

But Wang Chong is different. Last season, Wang Chong's three-point shooting percentage was close to 43%. He absolutely cannot be left out on the outside.

Curry and Danny Green also both hit around 40% of their three-pointers. The only one who is uncertain is Jimmy Butler. Although Butler played a lot of time on the bench last season, the Heat are still not interested in him. How to understand, I don't know how good his three-point ability is.

In fact, Butler is not good at shooting three-pointers, and his career three-point shooting percentage is only 33%.

But even if he knows that Butler is an average three-pointer, as an outside player, he cannot easily leave open spaces and shoot casually.

The Bulls' move actually feels a bit like the Magic's one-star shooting. (End of chapter)
