"A new Olympic basketball record, Wang Chong scored 57 points in a single game, breaking the personal single-game scoring record in Olympic basketball history, and led the team to win China's first-ever men's Olympic basketball championship in history!" "The dream team of the American team was shattered at the Capital Olympics, but it lost to the Chinese men's basketball team and only won the silver medal."
"After Wang Chong dominated the NBA and won the championship, he also dominated the Olympics. He won two consecutive championships with the greatest honor in three months. He deserves to be the number one basketball player!"
The news about the victory of the Chinese men's basketball team at the Olympics quickly made the front pages of major newspapers and occupied a huge space.
There's no way around it. As one of the top three ball sports, the influence and popularity of basketball are much greater than most Olympic events.
Moreover, the American Dream Team, the Olympic hegemon, was overthrown by the Chinese men's basketball team, which is still big news.
This is like if China's table tennis team lost the Olympic gold medal, and the loss wasn't to their strong rivals Japan and South Korea, but to a previously unknown country.
Also, although table tennis is China's national sport and is very popular and promoted in the country, it is incomparable with basketball in terms of international popularity and influence.
The leaders of the Basketball Association are laughing with joy.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Chong joined the national team, he won the gold medal at the Capital Olympics for the Chinese men's basketball team. This gold medal is of great importance to China. It is a process from 0 to 1, just like Liu Xiang's great achievement in the field of athletics in China! Definitely a great feat worthy of being recorded in history!
It is foreseeable that this achievement will definitely become an important asset for them in their future promotion, and it is not in vain that they dedicated so much effort in the first place. Facing Wang Chong's humility, they are not like the authorized Basketball Association in the country and are simply respectful. So they invite this great god to return.
What is even more exciting is that Wang Chong is only 24 years old. As long as he doesn't have injuries, Wang Chong will be able to maintain a high level of competitiveness for at least 8 to 10 years in his career.
In other words, he can compete in at least two Olympic Games for the Chinese men's basketball team.
In the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team would have Wang Chong, and their results would definitely be the same. Even if Dayao retired, Wang Chong alone could not lead the team to help the Chinese men's basketball team win consecutive gold medals, but he would work hard for individual success. Silver or bronze medals would not be a big problem.
For a monster who can score 57 points in a single game under the interception of the Dream Team, this is the case.
——The Chinese men's basketball team suddenly became the pride of Chinese fans.
Not only Wang Chong and Dayao, who were the biggest contributors to the championship, but also the rest of the national team members have also skyrocketed in popularity. Not only have countless media reported on them, but major sponsoring companies have also appeared one after another. Even if they were sitting on the bench and played very few times in all the Olympic Games, the few bench players have also become fashion products.
No doubt, their current title is the gold medal winner of the 2008 Olympic Men's Basketball in the Capital Games, and they also won the gold medal by defeating the American Dream Team, which is filled with stars.
All the players of the national men's basketball team have been very busy after the Olympics, accepting interviews, signing sponsorship advertisements, and even participating in television entertainment programs.
In contrast, Wang Chong has become the most discreet among these people. In other words, given his status, he doesn't need to participate in a large number of interviews to increase his exposure, and even small-scale commercial sponsorships are not worthy of his current value.
Therefore, he only accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV after the Olympics with the Chinese men's basketball team and then disappeared briefly from the public eye.
Everyone was curious about where Wang Chong had gone, but a few days later, some netizens reported on the internet that Wang Chong had appeared in a picturesque spot in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Moreover, he wasn't alone but was accompanied by a beautiful foreigner. It was Wang Chong's girlfriend, Jessica Alba.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Wang Chong had suddenly disappeared. It turned out that he was living in a world of two people with his girlfriend.
In fact, Wang Chong and Jessica had not appeared in the same frame for quite some time.
For this reason, many unscrupulous media have been irresponsibly speculating whether the two have separated and started to speculate about the reason for the breakup, whether either of them cheated or something like that.
But the real reason is that Jessica had been busy filming "Transformers 2" during this time.
The first Transformers movie was considered a great success. As a major intellectual property that can be used as a series, it is natural to film a sequel.
As the heroine who shone in the first movie and surprised everyone, Jessica would naturally join the filming of the sequel.
However, Wang Chong did not continue investing in "Transformers 2," not because he couldn't make money. In his impression, "Transformers 2" eventually had a global box office of 830 million, about 100 million more than the box office of the first movie. Although the investment in the sequel was also more than 100 million more than the first, in general, it would definitely make money and a lot.
But unlike the first movie, which was not optimistic, with the success of the first movie as a foundation, the success of "Transformers 2" as a sequel was already a sure thing, which meant that it was easy for the major movie producers to get involved.
In such circumstances, as an individual investor, it would be difficult for Wang Chong to get business in front of a group of professional film investors, even if he had money.
He also expressed the idea of investing in the Transformers production team, but the other side rejected him because they had sufficient funds. However, director Michael Bay wanted to invite Wang Chong to join Transformers because he had made several suggestions during the shooting of Transformers 1 and 2 in the script planning team.
Wang Chong didn't care much about not being able to invest in Transformers 2. Anyway, there are many movies in which he can invest and make money, the most important of which is the world's first 3D movie, "Avatar," released in 2009.
Unlike Transformers 2, where the industry rushed to invest and was destined to make money, the production of "Avatar" was not so simple.
Famous director James Cameron is certainly talented. Terminator and Titanic, which he directed, are masterpieces that have left their names in cinema history.
But he also had many problems when making movies.
During the shooting of "Titanic," due to excessive efforts to reach perfection, the budget was exceeded many times, and the over-budget almost reduced. Thanks to Titanic's unprecedented success, it broke the historical box office record. Only then did he feel proud.
But this time, in "Avatar," Cameron's old habit came back.
20th Century Fox was so fed up with Cameron's various excessive budget behaviors that they directly told him, "We are definitely abandoning this movie."
Therefore, Cameron began to look for other companies. At that time, Fox began to regret it again and used its preemptive right to reopen negotiations. In the end, they gritted their teeth and won the distribution rights of "Avatar."
In the end, the production cost of the movie was set at 300 million dollars, excluding advertising and post-production costs.
The 300 million dollar cost doesn't seem particularly high. After all, the cost of "Transformers 2" was also 200 million dollars.
However, it only took about a year from the start of filming to the official release of "Transformers 2." Although the cost was high, the revenue recovery was also very quick.
Filming of "Avatar" started in 2005, and the 3D and CG production consumed a large amount of time and money. It was not officially released until December 2009, and the production time lasted 4 years and 8 months.
If Wang Chong hadn't known what kind of box-office storm "Avatar" would cause after its release, he might have had some concerns. It's not that he couldn't understand why 20th Century Fox had repeatedly backed out.
Cameron is a paranoid man who strives for excellence in filmmaking. Fox had been desperately compressing production costs, and in many places, they had to make concessions reluctantly to save money.
When Wang Chong knocked on the door with 50 million dollars in cash, Cameron accepted the offer without hesitation.
With Cameron's brand and reputation, it's certainly not impossible to attract investments, but investors like Wang Chong, who only provide money and don't care about anything else, and have no other requirements except for the share of box office revenue, are rare in all of Hollywood.
The topic has gone a bit far. In total, Wang Chong was worth 50 million Dollars. After obtaining it, he didn't hold back for long before handing it over to Cameron to waste it.
Considering the huge profits that this investment can bring, Wang Chong also registered an investment company in the United States to operate this business. Of course, as long as you have money, there will always be someone to help you handle these complicated affairs. And you don't need to pay too much energy.
It just so happened that Jessica Alba also finished filming "Transformers 2" and simply flew straight to China to experience the magnificent mountains and rivers of China with Wang Chong.
Of course, both Wang Chong and Jessica are currently on the rise in their careers and don't have much time. Their life together only lasted a week.
A week later, the two flew back to the United States.
It is also interesting to say that when Wang Chong went to China, he was still a Chinese-American, but when he returned to the United States, he had become a serious Chinese. He had to apply for a work visa with the Bulls. stay long-term.
But this is not a problem at all for Wang Chong. His agent and the Bulls management have already taken care of everything.
September time has arrived and the 2008-09 NBA season is about to begin.
If he follows the normal schedule, Wang Chong will stay in China for half a month and there will be no problem reporting to the team until the end of September.
But Wang Chong himself could not stay that long.
Winning the gold medal at the Olympics allowed Wang Chong to earn the most advanced task reward released by the system, 3000 full points.
This is a large amount of money. If you use it to activate badges, you can activate 6 badges at a time!
Of course, Wang Chong does not plan to use all of his points to activate the badge. Instead, he plans to use the points to exchange them for intensive training time. Before the start of the new season, he will train hard and make up for it completely. some of his weaknesses.
In Wang Chong's opinion, this price/performance ratio is definitely much better than blindly chasing the number of badges.
The first is physical strength and overall durability. One of these two determines Wang Chong's endurance on the court and the other determines his ability to withstand injury and recover. Both are crucial before the start of the new season. can be combined. Naturally, it is better if both skills are raised to 99 total value.
Then, the direction of use will be decided based on how many points are left.
For this reason, Wang Chong, who had just returned to Chicago, immediately began intensive training.
The local Chicago media immediately discovered Wang Chong's training camp and reported it.
Fans who saw the news were shocked by Wang Chong's exaggerated degree of involution.
"Wang Chong is working too hard, isn't he? The Olympics just ended a week ago and he started training right away. Even in the dream team that lost the gold medal, there are not many people who work as hard as Wang Chong no wonder he can score in the final. He scored 57 points and made a shot at the buzzer to turn the tide."
As everyone knows, Wang Chong works very hard because he eventually scores a lot of points. If he doesn't take them back quickly, he will feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching. His mood is completely different.
In addition, the function of the intensive training module is also really powerful, which perfectly explains what effective training means.
With the super high training bonus, Wang Chong can observe changes in his skills at any time.
It took him one week to strengthen his physical ability value from 97 to 99, and it took him less than half a month to strengthen his overall durability from 88 to 96.
This progress was so fast that Wang Chong could not believe it.
In less than 20 days, his ability value has increased by 10 points in total, and these are all improvements based on extremely high ability values. The effect can be imagined.
But to achieve this effect, the price Wang Chong paid was that his original 3000 points were now only 500.
That's right, the three weeks of training cost Wang Chong 2500 points!
2500 points, 5 badges.
Even Wang Chong, who had already made his decision, could not help but feel the pain in his body.
The skill value exceeds 90 and it is ridiculously difficult to improve every point.
If Wang Chong decided to strengthen other relatively low ability values, he would not need such a large amount of consumption to get a substantial improvement.
But that would be more of a loss than a gain.
What Wang Chong desperately wants to improve is his physical condition and injury risk, because they are directly related to the length and height of his career.
It is said that James then worked hard and improved all the statistics. If other players have the length of his career, they can also produce career stats that are not inferior to his.
But if we analyze the league over decades, how many players can do what James does?
Jordan couldn't do it, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar couldn't do it and Kobe couldn't do it even more.
This is also a reflection of a player's competitive level. The ultimate goal of athletic competition is to be taller, faster and stronger.
Therefore, to reach the top of these two skills, Wang Chong would not hesitate even if he spent more points.
However, after successfully increasing his physical fitness to 99 and his overall durability to 96, Wang Chong still stopped.
The remaining 500 points should be able to increase the overall durability to the full value of 99 in one go.
But Wang Chong felt that there was no need to be so anxious for the time being.
The comprehensive durability of 96 is enough for the current Wang Chong. The vast majority of players in the league do not have such a high integral durability. Only a few monster-level players like James have an integral durability of 99.
When it comes to injuries, luck plays a role, and age and fitness also play a role. Wang Chongzai is 24, not 34, and has a very strong body.
Although the 24-year-old does not rule out serious injuries, and Rose was only 25 when he suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury, the probability is not that high.
The remaining 500 points can be used to bolster training in other areas, or redeemed directly to activate a badge, which will be more cost-effective.
As for overall durability, it is perfectly fine to wait until you have more points to compensate for the total value of 99.
