Bosh is also quite unlucky. As the leader of the 2003 generation, he has been living in the shadow of Wang Chong, James, Wade, and Anthony from the beginning of his career, even though he has averaged more than 22 points per game for four consecutive seasons. There are excellent star players, but compared to the four kings of the 2003 class, he is still far behind.
Not only that, he also served as a backdrop for Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a single game, and now he has to serve as a backdrop for Wang Chong's latest record of 73 wins and 9 losses, which is extremely sad.
But there is no way, who made his Raptors not strong enough?
Under the strong attack of the Bulls, the Raptors kept losing in the third quarter of the second half, falling behind by more than 30 points.
In the last quarter of the game, the main players of both teams sat out and watched the bench players sweat on the court.
For the Bulls, the most important game ended this way. It felt like a strong blow hitting the air, and then the opponent only felt the aftershocks.
With a score of 114:89, the Bulls finally defeated the Raptors at home with a huge 25-point advantage, officially achieving a regular-season record of 73 wins and 9 losses, surpassing the 72 wins and 10 losses set by the Bulls led by Jordan in the 1995-96 season. An excellent record, and it became the new best in history!
At the moment the game ended, the entire place was in an uproar, and the fans cheered and shouted loudly, as if the team had won the championship.
On the court, the Bulls players also hugged to celebrate the arrival of this moment.
Wang Chong was the calmest among the crowd. This was mainly due to the fact that Wang Chong, as a time traveler, had traveled from the future and experienced the 73-win season of the Warriors, so he felt much less about breaking the 72-win record than others.
One thing to note is that before the Warriors achieved a 73-win record, no one dared imagine that Jordan's 72-10 record could actually be broken. This almost represented the pinnacle of a team's dominance in the league, far less difficult to break than Chamberlain's 100-point record in a single game.
Even that Warriors team was able to achieve 73 wins thanks to a lot of luck. This has been the case since the Warriors had Durant in the next three years, and the strength of the lineup far exceeded that of the 15-16 season. The best record in the game was only 67 wins. You can see from the failure to achieve more than 70 wins in the regular season that in order to achieve such a record, the team's strength is essential, but luck also plays a large part, including the attendance rate of players, health, and the degree. Even the situation and status of the opponent are very important.
This season, the Bulls were able to achieve a 73-win and 9-loss record, and they also had the right moment, place, and people.
Wang Chong played all 82 games in the regular season and averaged 35 minutes per game. He was able to contribute 30.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks. The defensive wing also played an important role. Of course, an additional improvement would be due to the improvement in Wang Chong's physical condition. With a physical capacity value of 99, Wang Chong could focus more on aspects other than offense on the court.
Although Wang Chong cannot support the defensive system of the entire team like Garnett, after all, his height and wingspan are there. As long as he works a little harder, his deterrence on the defensive side is already very high.
Wang Chong's contribution on the defensive side this season has been widely recognized by the outside world. Many media reporters and basketball commentators believe that Wang Chong deserves to be selected for the all-defensive team due to his defensive performance this season.
The other two members of the Bulls' Big Three, Garnett and Billups, have a relatively low attendance rate. Although since the end of 2008, Wang Chong had arranged for them to take one or two rounds of rest every month to reduce the burden on their bodies, but because everyone later discovered that the team was expected to break the historical record, both chose to forgo the opportunity to rest and played with full attendance to fight for the victory.
The result is that Garnett played 75 games, and Billups played 78 games. Both had a relatively low attendance rate and were lucky enough not to suffer injuries during the regular season.
Billups stayed healthy throughout the 2008-09 season. Needless to say, Garnett did not suffer any injuries during the regular season, which made Wang Chong feel relieved.
The Bulls and Celtics are really different. Although Garnett had exactly the same job on both teams, and both were absolute defensive cornerstones, it is different from the Celtics, which only had one pair on the inside. In the case of the Kings, the Bulls had many strong defensive players in the paint.
Gasol, as a heavy center, took on most of the grunt work. In addition, Wang Chong and Millsap were also forwards with good defensive capabilities. Additionally, Billups' defensive ability on the outside was also very good. The defensive pressure was actually much lower than when he was with the Celtics at the same time.
And to step back, injuries are inherently probabilistic events, which does not mean that players will definitely get injured in a certain period of time. The increase in age and accumulation of fatigue will only increase the probability of injury.
Obviously, the version of Garnett on the Bulls had better luck than the version on the Celtics, so he didn't get injured.
It is not surprising that the Bulls recorded 73 wins and 9 losses when the Big Three stayed healthy and played efficiently.
After all, in the 2008-09 season, only a few teams in the Eastern Conference could be considered strong opponents. They were supposed to be the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Magic. Due to various adjustments by Wang Chong, the Celtics' three giants no longer existed. Although Durant's selection gave them a future, their combat effectiveness in the present was only a bit more than 50 wins, not representing any threat.
The Cavaliers were stronger than their original lineup, but Wang Chong and the Bulls were like the Cavaliers' nemesis. In the four regular-season games, the Bulls won 3 and lost 1, maintaining absolute dominance.
The Magic's situation is the same as the Cavaliers'. Although the Howard-led, one-star system of the Magic caused some problems for the Bulls in the game, with the performances of Wang Chong and Garnett, the regular-season score was also 3:1.
As for these two teams, only Eastern teams like the Heat, Hawks, 76ers, etc., were not as good as the others. Naturally, it is difficult to win against the Bulls, but Western teams can. They still depend on the home-court advantage.
In any case, the Bulls' record of 73 wins and 9 losses, the best in league history, has become an established fact. Teams in the same period are all reduced to frustration at this moment, even the Lakers in the West. They have a record of 65 wins and 17 losses. An excellent record, even if the Cavaliers lost 3 games to the Bulls and still recorded an excellent record of 64 wins and 18 losses, they still have to be eclipsed by the invincible light of the Bulls.
"Beyond their predecessors! The Bulls achieved 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, breaking the best league record set by basketball god Michael Jordan. Wang Chong is one step closer to Jordan!"
"Can the Bulls, who are aiming for the championship and defending their title, achieve two consecutive championships and move toward a third consecutive championship?"
"Are there so many strong teams? This season, three teams reached over 60 wins in the regular season, including the 73 wins of the Bulls. This is the first time since the 1997-98 season. The gap is as long as ten! It is foreseeable that this year's finals will be very exciting!"
The sensation caused by the last game of the regular season didn't last long because the following playoffs were even more worthy of attention.
Additionally, the Bulls' record of 73-9 is a major event worthy of universal celebration for Bulls fans and Wang Chong's fans, but it is uncomfortable for fans of other teams.
Everyone here has a part in the Bulls being able to win so many games. Even if one of the 29 other teams in the league can lose one less game, they can still stop the Bulls and prevent them from playing.
Therefore, although the record of 73 wins and 9 losses has caused strong reactions in Chicago and in China, Wang Chong's home country, and the heat is still fermenting, elsewhere, most team fans choose to treat it coldly and try not to mention it as much as possible, unless the Bulls failed in the playoffs, winning 73 and finishing second. Even worse, they couldn't even make it to the finals. That would have been a good time for fans besides the Bulls to shine.
Of course, Wang Chong cannot sit idly by and watch this happen. He will lead his team to win the championship with all his strength and silence everyone.
The Bulls actually don't have many threatening opponents in the playoffs. If you had to count, only three teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic in the East, and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West.
Due to Dayao's presence, the Rockets are not a small threat to the Bulls, but considering that the Rockets have a high chance of failing to the Lakers, there's no need to consider them.
The good news is that in the East, only one team, the Cavaliers and the Magic, can stand in front of the Bulls.
Due to the record rankings in the East, the Bulls are far ahead with 73 wins and 9 losses, followed by the Cavaliers with 64 wins and 18 losses, and the Magic with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, ranking third.
Next, there are the Boston Celtics with 50 wins, the Atlanta Hawks with 44 wins, the Miami Heat with 40 wins, the Philadelphia 76ers with 37 wins, and the Detroit Pistons with 36 wins.
The Eastern Conference faced the Bulls, Cavaliers, and Magic with a record of nearly 60+. They were unlucky. Three teams in the playoffs had a record of less than 50%, and the records of the teams excluded from the playoffs were even worse.
But this is irrelevant. What matters is the record rankings in the first half of the division. The Cavaliers and the Magic occupy the second and third spots in the Eastern Conference, respectively. This means that the two teams will face off in the second round. The two tigers will compete for it. Unless there is an injury, the Bulls just need to sit back and prepare for the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals.
As for the Bulls' opponent in the second round, there is a high probability that the Celtics will win 50 games. No matter how fast Durant grows, it is still a piece of cake in front of Wang Chong, and there's no difficulty for the Bulls to get to the finals!
All in all, from Wang Chong's perspective, the Bulls have been in single mode until the playoffs this season. As expected, they will almost certainly defend the championship unless there is some bloody incident in which key players are injured. In the playoffs, Wang Chong will be in the playoffs during the season. During the post-game period, use the main players with extra caution to avoid accidental injury.
And to say the least, even if Garnett or Billups were accidentally injured, as long as they were not injured at the same time and missed the game, Wang Chong would surely lead the team to win.
He wasted no time this season.
At the beginning of the regular season, Wang Chong set a goal to improve the 4 bronze level badges and 4 silver level badges he already owned.
Although these 8 badges are of different types and have different upgrade conditions, and some of the upgrade conditions are very hard, he still managed to do it during the 82 long games of the regular season.
The four silver level badges of CIC Master, Perpetual Motion Shooter, Death Coil and Basket Protector Elite have been upgraded to gold level.
The four bronze level badges of Quick Shooter, Key Shooter, Off-Ball Movement and Dribbling Veteran have also been promoted to the silver level.
At present, the wall of Wang Chong's badges is already covered with gold, and the single purple Hall of Fame badge of the highest level and four silver badges are not so obvious among them.
The increase in the level of the badge will naturally increase Wang Chong's dominance in the field to a higher level.
The only pity is that the system tasks do not appear frequently and only appear once in the middle of the season. Upon completion, Wang Chong will be rewarded with 1000 points.
He has high hopes that the system can release a large number of random tasks, which will allow him to review points frequently, thus activating a large number of badges and, at the same time, further improve his personal strength through intensive training modules.
But obviously the system would not allow you to do this so easily. In other words, after the achievement module was activated, Wang Chong had an additional channel to obtain points, so the amount of random tasks released by the system naturally decreased accordingly.
As mentioned above, there are several important achievements in the achievement module. Completing the achievements can grant Wang Chong a large amount of reward points.
After the 2008-09 regular season ended, Wang Chong really accomplished a lot.
The first is the two achievements of scoring 10,000 points in the regular season and being the youngest person to reach 10,000 points. These two achievements were completed by Wang Chong last season, but since he did not win the championship at that time, the system. was not updated to open new modules, so it will not be officially completed until this season starts.
It is worth mentioning that although Wang Chong far surpassed James in scoring ability, he was not much older than James when he scored 10,000 points.
This is mainly because Wang Chong himself is five months older than James. When the two enter the league at the same time, James naturally has a big advantage. But on the other hand, it can also be shown that James is a pro in the playoffs. Statistics In addition to being inferior to Wang Chong in terms of personal honors and scoring, James has higher statistics than Wang Chong in rebounds, assists, etc., especially in terms of assists, he is far ahead of Wang Chong.
On the surface, James and Wang Chong's overall scoring progress is similar, but if you don't look at age and just look at the number of appearances, Wang Chong can still beat James, especially with the end of the 2008-09 season. Wang Chong's career total score has surpassed James by almost 2000 points!
You should know that every player in the whole league who can score 2000 points in the regular season in one season has lost everything with one hand. When Wang Chong and James joined the league at the same time, Wang Chong outscored James by nearly 2000 points. in just 6 seasons, the scoring ability of both.
The gap is obvious, and when the rebounding ability of the two is roughly the same, the amount of assists James has more than Wang Chong can basically be matched by these 2000 points. The difference is still small, not particularly large, basically in the same starting lineup.
In this case, considering the honors the two have won so far, James has lost out completely.
One regular season MVP, one finals FMVP, two championships, three scoring championships and small secondary honors such as first team, second team, All-Star AMVP, etc. Wang Chong did not bother to add.
The topic has gone a bit far and we are back to the completion progress of the achievement module. In addition to the above two honors, the achievements made by Wang Chong's team are also included.
Of course, the achievements and honors of the team are completely incomparable with the personal achievements and honors in terms of conditions and number of goals. Wang Chong has achieved only one thing so far: leading the team to the best record in NBA history: 73 wins. and 9 losses.
There is no doubt about the gold content of this achievement, and the reward for Wang Chong is also quite generous, 2000 full points, plus 1000 points for personal achievement rewards, as well as the original 1000 points for completing random tasks and the 500. points left by Wang Chong himself, Wang Chong currently has a total of 4,500 points! If you use them all to activate badges, you can activate 9 badges at a time!
Of course, Wang Chong will not use all of these points to activate badges. The points can not only activate badges, but also serve as important funds to redeem training modules to strengthen training time.
For Wang Chong, who uses Durant's growth template card and limits his growth limit to Durant's maximum overall rating of 97, it is also very important to use this to improve some areas that Durant is not good at.
Also, the more badges you have, the more powerful they will be. Choosing badges that suit your own characteristics and are suitable for competition is usually more important than having a large number of badges.
