A few days later, Wang Chong officially joined the national team.

The Chinese men's basketball team had already started their training camps in March. Players like Wang Chong, Dayao, and the Arab League, who play in the NBA, were special cases and could return to the national team later.

Among these NBA players, Wang Chong was also the last to return to the team. He was determined not to leave until he won the championship.

Considering Wang Chong's physical exertion during the playoffs, the Basketball Association had originally planned to give him a few more days of rest. Although there was less than a month before the start of the Olympics, Wang Chong, being healthy and in good physical condition, was clearly more important than a few extra days of training and practice.

But Wang Chong himself could no longer sit still. He couldn't wait to test the effect of the training module after the system update.

Thus, he joined the national team training a few days after returning to China.

According to Wang Chong's plan, his top priority was to strengthen his physical condition.

Although his physical condition of 92 was enough to handle most competitions, it definitely wasn't enough for the Olympics.

In the national team, Wang Chong didn't have the strong support of Garnett and Billups. Although Dayao was no inferior to the first two, his physical condition was more problematic than Wang Chong's. Therefore, Wang Chong needed to prepare well. The psychological preparation to fight alone naturally required a stronger physical condition as reserve strength.

The opening of the training module required a one-time fee of 10 points per hour. Although the fee wasn't particularly high, it couldn't withstand the accumulation of volume.

Wang Chong currently had 1500 points, accumulated from completing system tasks and rewards from the achievements module in the past.

At a cost of 10 points per hour, these 1,500 points only allowed for 150 hours of training, and 8 hours of training a day would last for half a month.

This was almost like using points to accumulate skill values, but it wasn't as simple and direct as the previous method of directly strengthening the growth template card. Wang Chong still needed to work hard to improve.

The key point was that if Wang Chong didn't activate the training module, the training would have no effect and the skill value wouldn't improve in any way.

So, after careful consideration, Wang Chong decided to use all of his 1,500 points on training and not plan to spend part of them to activate a badge.

It cost 500 points to activate a bronze badge of the lowest level. The key was that the effect of the lowest-level bronze badge wasn't very useful to Wang Chong right now.

But if Wang Chong could improve his physical condition to above 95 or even higher before the Olympics, it would be a significant improvement in his endurance on the court.

In fact, Wang Chong himself wasn't sure how the effect of training would improve due to the high cost of training in the training module, but he would know soon enough.

——Meanwhile

While Wang Chong was training, across the ocean in the United States, the recruitment work of each team was in full swing after the NBA free agency market opened.

The team that made the biggest move was the biggest loser of the entire season, the Lakers, who had fallen in the finals.

Despite losing the championship to the Bulls, the Lakers still had hopes of competing for the title. They were firmly convinced that as long as the Lakers' lineup improved, they would definitely have a chance to compete with the Bulls for the championship.

So, since the free agency market opened in the summer, the Lakers had been operating actively. They really found the opportunity to use a first-round pick and two backup players as trade chips to acquire the All-Star forward and best defender from the Sacramento Kings.

The completion of this deal immediately caused a huge stir in the league.

As one of the best defenders in the league, Artest had extremely outstanding personal skills, especially this season with the Kings, where he averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.3 steals per game.

Although the Kings missed the playoffs with a record of 38 wins and 44 losses in the regular season, and Artest had no major achievements or honors throughout the season, that didn't affect the evaluation of him by the outside world.

The Lakers received a strong reinforcement in the forward position almost at no cost, and the lineup became more perfect, especially since this time the reinforcements were forwards.

Artest won the DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year) award in the 2003-04 season. His defensive strength was recognized by the league. The best part of the Lakers' strong support was that they finally had the weapons to limit Wang Chong.

Even if Artest couldn't guard Wang Chong, his work ethic on the court could maximize the physical energy consumption of Wang Chong. In addition, his three-point shooting rate of nearly 38% could contribute to the Lakers' offense. They could help him.

With the addition of Artest, the Lakers' lineup only had one flaw: the point guard position. In extreme cases, the Lakers could also use Kobe, Artest, Odom, and Gasol. And the big man lineup of Bynum. Anyway, in this lineup, Kobe, Odom, and Gasol could hold the ball and organize the support, and no matter the level, they were always much better than Fisher.

With just this trade, the Lakers managed to turn themselves back into the biggest rival of the Bulls on their way to defending their title.

In comparison, other teams' summer signings seemed like a joke.

The Cavaliers, who also wanted to compete for the championship, went around in circles during the offseason and, after much effort, finally managed to land Mo Williams.

Mo Williams, nicknamed Mo Buchuan, was one of the main players for the Milwaukee Bucks in the first two seasons. He averaged 17 points and 6 assists per game. His strength was regular, but not bad.

At least in the eyes of the outside world, the Cavaliers, who only got Mo Williams, still couldn't compete with the Bulls.

If you can't surpass the Bulls in the Eastern Conference, you can't talk about competing for the championship.

In fact, this was the case for any team in the league. As the 2007-08 champions, the Bulls would become the imaginary enemy of the entire league in the new season. This was also one of the main reasons why it was so difficult to win three consecutive championships.

Although the situation in the new season would suffer some changes due to the trade reinforcements of various teams, up until now, the general trend would not change much. The favorites to win the championship were still the Bulls, Spurs, Cavaliers, and a few other teams.

The NBA matters were no longer the hottest topic at the moment because August was soon approaching and the quadrennial Olympics would officially be held in the capital of China.

In more than a month, the final 12-man roster for the Chinese men's basketball team was officially confirmed, and many warm-up games were held.

Wang Chong, dressed in the red jersey of the Chinese men's basketball team, also made his debut in the warm-up game.

Wang Chong directly chose the number 1 as his number for the national team. The meaning was simple and clear.

He also occupied the deserved number one spot on the Chinese men's basketball team and was the absolute core of the offense.

This wasn't surprising. There were no conventional players who weren't convinced. The coach despised this kind of drama. As a three-time NBA scoring champion and a strong man who could surpass top stars like Kobe, James, and others, Wang Chong had become the most important offensive part of the Chinese men's basketball team.

On the first day of training, Wang Chong's superb mid-range shooting ability conquered everyone. What was even more terrifying was that, as a small forward, Wang Chong didn't need any coverage or help from his teammates. He could shoot with one hand and no one could stop him. He could roam freely. Besides the team's tactical system, there was no need to be familiar with the national team's tactics.

The famous Lithuanian coach, Yunas Kaslauskas, who was hired by the Chinese men's basketball team for a huge sum of money, almost smiled. What coach wouldn't want a freak like Wang Chong on their team?

Without hesitation, he immediately formulated a large number of individual tactics for Wang Chong. Although there weren't many linked players, Wang Chong mainly used the ball to attack individually, but the number of individual shots had far exceeded that of the Chinese men's basketball team. There were many aces in Dayao.

During the warm-up game, Wang Chong showed his super offensive ability to fans all over the country.

Irresolvable mid- and long-range shots could easily break the opponent's zone defense system.

The Olympics follow the FIBA competition system. The three-point line is shorter than the NBA's, there's no three-second defensive rule, and help defense is allowed.

Without exception, these rules are the most suitable competition rules for Wang Chong.

In fact, Durant himself is an almost invincible weapon in the international arena. He is the all-time leading scorer for the United States in the Olympics. No one can match him in total points and average points. His technical characteristics.

Durant is good at mid- and long-range shots. Under FIBA rules, some of his mid-range shots are directly converted into three-pointers, which is more lethal than NBA rules.

At the same time, traditional strong European teams have always relied on the zone defense system to compete with the U.S. men's basketball team. American stars aren't accustomed to or familiar with the zone defense system because they are used to playing in the NBA.

These problems are meaningless in the face of Durant.

As we all know, the best way to break down a zone defense is to shoot from medium to long distance, because zone defense itself is a tactic used to target inside crosses and ball-breaking players, although not impossible to prevent. shots, the defensive effect is definitely not as good as one-on-one. Be on guard.

When facing players like Wang Chong and Durant, who are both 2.11 meters tall and similar in size to inside players, the defensive effect is even worse.

Wang Chong's existence gives the Chinese men's basketball team a powerful siege cannon when facing European teams. He can casually bombard the floor with missiles and fire hard at the other side.

Hua Guo's men's basketball team already has a great assassin in the paint, Yao, and now they have Wang Chong on the outside, which makes them even more powerful. They easily won several preparation games without any suspense. points per game during the preparation games 5 rebounds, becoming the team's leading scorer.

All Chinese fans watched with passion and enthusiasm, because anyone who has watched NBA games knows that Wang Chong did not play seriously and did not even use half of his offensive ability.

Everyone is full of confidence and looking forward to the next Olympics. Even the slogan that has been shouted the most over the years at the Olympics, "Guarantee eight and fight for four," has directly turned into the struggle to win Olympic medals.

This shows how big Wang Chong's cards are.

Of course, Wang Chong himself is quite confident in this Olympic Games.

This confidence mainly comes from the unexpected training effect of the training module.

Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Chong was still surprised by the effect of the training module.

Basically, Wang Chong did not waste any of the 1,500 points and 150 hours of accumulated training time. They were all used up in less than half a month.

The effect of the entire investment in physical training was astounding. In fact, it directly improved Wang Chong's fitness from the original 92 to 97 in one fell swoop, an increase of 5 full points!

Wang Chong is very clear about the rules of the 2K system. The higher the skill value, the harder it is to improve, especially if the skill value exceeds 90, each improvement point requires massive training.

However, under the intensive training of the training module, Wang Chong actually improved his physical ability value by 5 points in just half a month.

It is entirely conceivable that if intensive training is used in other aspects, such as tackle, strength, etc., where Wang Chong's basic attributes are low, much improvement will be achieved.

Wang Chong's stealing ability value is 54, which is only league average. Although his steal data in the NBA league is not bad, he can barely average 1 per game, but that is entirely due to his excellent wingspan, not his own sense of. tackling and judgment are good enough.

With such a low attribute value, the improvement that can be achieved through intensive training can be even greater.

Of course, good training comes at a price.

1,500 points can be redeemed for three full badges for Wang Chong. Even the lowest level bronze badge can bring a lot of improvement if Wang Chong did not urgently need to improve his fitness to ensure he can bring the team the Olympic title. Games with enough firepower, he may still have difficulties.

In any case, spending these 1,500 points directly strengthened Wang Chong's physical strength to 97 points. Even if there is still a gap between Kobe and James, who have a physical strength value of 99, it is at least significantly better than that of the original Wang Chong. physical strength.

Wang Chong has made preparations to play every game during the Olympics. FIBA regulates a 40-minute game, which is much shorter than the 48 minutes of an NBA game.

And as the date of the Olympics approaches, just as Wang Chong expected, the system finally launched a new task.

"Ding: the system's random mission is activated."

"Mission: Capital Olympic Games."

"Mission objective: lead the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve good results in the Olympics."

"Objective 1: Chinese men's basketball team reaches the quarterfinals and gets a reward of 500 points".

"Objective 2: enter the top four and get a reward of 1000 points."

"Objective 3: Win the bronze medal and receive 1500 points as a reward".

"Objective 4: Win the silver medal and receive 2000 points as a reward".

"Objective 5: Win the gold medal and get 3,000 points as a reward."

"The rewards will be issued upon completion of the task and can be accumulated to receive them."

Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Chong was still overwhelmed by the generous rewards of the system mission. Is this a bit over the top? If he can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympics, all the rewards will be accumulated together and, depending on the highest level, he can get a full 8,000 points! Get rich!
