Chapter 517: Finale
"The Warriors defeated the Bulls 4:3 to win the championship!"
"Wang Feng averaged 48+12+12 per game in the finals and was crowned FMVP, which is unprecedented and a miracle unique to this era!"
"The Bulls are unwilling to fail. Jordan said we will be back next season!"
"Wang Feng officially announced that he will represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Will his participation make the Chinese men's basketball team become a top international team?"
…
Several days have passed since he won the championship in the finals, but the popularity about Wang Feng remains high.
After all, Wang Feng's road to winning the championship was too shocking. In the decades since the NBA was founded, there has never been a player with such extreme personal heroism.
Even Michael Jordan and Chamberlain and Marshal Zhang, who were invincible and in the league back then, couldn't achieve Wang Feng's level.
Everyone is curious about how many years Wang Feng will rule the alliance.
Of course, some of them are not optimistic about the future development prospects of the Warriors.
Shark Shaquille O'Neal joined the Lakers, and the Lakers also acquired Kobe Bryant, who was selected with the 15th overall pick by the Suns, through a trade.
After winning the gold medal, Wang Feng said in an interview with the media that playing with the American Dream Team was meaningless. The 1996 Dream Team did not have Jordan, Pippen, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Ewing and other top superstars in the league.
All are participating.
Next season, the Warriors' main player Mullin will be one year older, and his competitive level will further decline. At the same time, the team's lack of strong inside players will always exist.
The Warriors cannot expect Wang Feng to explode and score 50+60+ or even 70+ points in every game to win the game.
Other teams are also eyeing the championship. Can the Warriors really defend the championship in fierce competition?
Of course, Wang Feng will not be afraid of these challenges. Facing them one by one and defeating them is the meaning of Wang Feng's coming to this era!
…
A few months later, the Atlanta Olympics, men's basketball event.
First-year rookies Peja Stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace.
For the two first-round picks obtained by trading Tim Hardaway, the Warriors used the Hornets' 13th pick and the Heat's 16th pick to select Peja Stojakovic and Jermaine O'Neal respectively.
The draft is over, and here are the young faces on the Warriors' roster.
Under the leadership of Wang Feng, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully qualified in the group stage and passed all the way to the finals. Wang Feng once again performed 1v5, scoring 81 points in a single game, overturning the invincible American Dream Team to the ground and winning the championship.
Won Olympic gold medal.
Jordan's salary cut was to help the team bring in stars.
A few days later, the free market opened, and Wang Feng understood.
…
Wang Feng still did not choose the original No. 13 rookie Kobe Bryant and No. 15 rookie Nash.
The trade reinforcements of various teams in the league are having an impact on the Warriors' defense of the championship, and they are also a new challenge for Wang Feng, who has just ascended to the throne.
Although they successfully won the championship, the Warriors' victory seemed to be largely due to luck. It was almost purely due to Wang Feng's personal ability, and almost no other players performed particularly well.
Jordan did not sign a sky-high 30 million contract in the summer that shocked the entire league, but only signed a 20 million contract. Although it was also the highest-paid contract in the league, it was not that strong with last season's Ewing Yuzhu in front.
So shocking.
The Lakers OK combination has been officially formed. Although it is still a few years before O'Neal reaches the peak of his career and Kobe Bryant fully matures, the Lakers OK dynasty is already waiting for Wang Feng on the road.
Although these three rookies are slightly lacking in immediate combat ability, with a little training, they are destined to become the mainstay of the team.
We can ignore the details of how Barkley joined the Bulls. Originally, Barkley's salary was not particularly high. Even if he joined the Rockets to form the Big Three according to the original historical process, the annual salary would only be 4.7 million.
Regarding these opinions from the outside world, Wang Feng said that the picture is broken.
Wang Feng, who defeated the Bulls in the finals, discovered that his mission as the dynasty terminator was not over.
Not only that, the failed Bulls also have the opportunity to build a dynasty.
He didn't understand at first, why he still hadn't completed the task even though he had already defeated the Bulls' second Wang Chao in his first year.
A few days after the finals, the 1996 draft began.
The future development direction of the Warriors had been planned long before Wang Feng came here.
Jordan sacrificed 10 million in annual salary for the Bulls to bring in Barkley, which is naturally feasible.
Garnett has been promoted to the second grade, and his ability and experience will be even higher.
Although the Bulls lost the finals, they did not admit defeat. Jordan had promised to renew his contract in advance. They will make a comeback next season and may make further upgrades to the lineup.
When the Warriors have him, they don't need other offensive players with the ball at all. Whether it's Kobe or Nash, playing next to Wang Feng will only be suppressed by Wang Feng and unable to play at all.
Wang Feng's operation didn't stop there. He also used one of the Warriors' own second-round picks to select Ben Wallace, who was not favored by everyone, at the buzzer at the end of the second round.
Only O'Neal, Mourning, Kemp, and Wilkins can do anything, and they are simply lackluster and unchallenging.
The Suns' top superstar, Charles Barkley, defected to the Bulls and formed the Big Four with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman, vowing to take revenge on Wang Feng and the Warriors.
This is the advantage of being a time traveler. The advantage of foresight allows Wang Feng to choose players with full potential.
Allen Iverson was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the first overall pick, becoming the shortest NBA No. 1 pick in history.
In this big year of the draft, many teams are destined to gain a lot, including the Warriors.
Such arrogant and provocative words made all the local players in the United States furious. A large number of top stars, including Jordan, have expressed that they will participate in the Men's Basketball World Championships in two years' time to teach Wang Feng a lesson on behalf of the American men's basketball team.
It’s okay if you can’t beat you in the NBA. In international competitions, the American Dream Team has always relied on its strength to bully others. How can it be bullied by Nigeria?
If you have the ability, don't run away after school. Wait at the school gate! See if we do it and you're done!
The local players in the United States are clamoring fiercely, but Wang Feng knows that in two years' time, the Chinese men's basketball team will also have new blood entering, including the relatively immature Yao Dazhi.
More importantly, two years later, Wang Feng will be stronger than he is now. His performance in the league every season will be converted into season rewards, making him more impeccable on the court and will not even be affected by age.
By 1998, Jordan, Pippen and others had all reached the end of their careers, and their status would decline to varying degrees. Who would bully whom by then? Haha!
