"Look, Chamberlain has had a heart attack."
"Really? Let's go and have a look."
A circle of people quickly surrounded Lao Zhang, and some superstars were startled and came to visit one after another.
"heart disease?"
Hearing the situation, Jordan, Lao Wang, Dameng, and Barkley also came over.
At this time, Chamberlain had been placed on the floor, and he was a little unconscious.
"Everyone spread out a little, so as not to affect the ventilation. Have you arranged for a doctor? Prepare for first aid, golden 3 minutes, don't delay." Old Wang reminded.
He has received first aid training in the community where he lives. The promotion of this kind of first aid is still very widespread in the United States. The more advanced the community, the better the promotion. Generally, people who have studied in college will know it.
Stern and a group of management also rushed over. He felt that his head was hurting, and he had signs of a cerebral infarction. It was a very successful superstar feast, but he was about to kill someone, and he was very depressed.
"Is the emergency doctor here?" Upon arriving at the scene, he glanced at Chamberlain, who was already unconscious on the floor, and immediately shouted.
For such a large-scale event, a doctor must be arranged, and there are more than one, and several ambulances have been contacted.
"Come here!" Several doctors ran over.
As soon as the doctor arrived, after a short examination, it was determined that it was a myocardial infarction, and he could no longer breathe spontaneously. He quickly checked the airway, and then started first aid.
"Okay, why did you have a heart attack?" Old Wang asked.
"I don't know. I heard that this is his old problem. I'm probably selected into the top [-]. Are you too excited?" Jordan said.
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us." Barkley said.
Lao Wang and the others nodded quickly. What does this have to do with them?
In the end, Chamberlain was snatched back, recovered a certain ability to breathe spontaneously, and was sent to the hospital.
This year's All-Star and Top 2 Superstar Awards Ceremony came to an end. It was very successful. The number of people watching this All-Star in North America exceeded tens of millions. Just the last [-] minutes to save Chamberlain, the ratings skyrocketed by at least tens of millions.
There was no TV broadcast when Chamberlain played the game. It is estimated that he played the game for 14 years, and the number of people who watched him play was not as many as those who watched him rescue him in these 2 minutes.
The next day, Wang Tiejun and his team returned to Phoenix, and the news hype for this All-Star event had just begun.
"Zhang Erwan and Old K, the most dominant center in active service in the league, took the lead. He publicly believed that Old K was not worthy of the ninth place among the top [-] superstars. However, his attitude was opposed by most of the active superstars. Even Jordan did not agree with him." Phoenix Sports News.
"Jordan thinks that Chamberlain is just a regular season superstar, not a real playoff superstar, let alone a superstar in the finals. Jordan seems to think that Old K is qualified to be the ninth of the fifty superstars." The New York Times.
"Dream publicly mocked Chamberlain's stats in the regular season. The former Mosaic Big Three jointly believed that Chamberlain was not qualified to evaluate the old K." Cleveland Sports News.
"Being accused by many active stars in the league, Big Dipper Chamberlain suffered a heart attack under stimulation, and he is still not out of danger." Los Angeles Times.
The news about Chamberlain came one after another, involving many superstars.
Then this wave of public opinion continued to expand, and many media people and NBA stars joined the discussion, expressing their views on related issues for the sake of presence.
In the morning, Larry Bird accepted a TV interview with New York TV station.
"Larry, do you think Chamberlain's illness was caused by the stimulation of old K and Jordan?" the reporter asked.
"Of course not. Chamberlain's heart disease has long been reported by the media. It just happened at that time, and it has nothing to do with anyone else," he said.
"Do you agree with Chamberlain? Or do you agree with Jordan and old K?" The reporter asked again.
"Oh, actually, in my opinion, Old K's No. 9 of the top [-] superstars should be well-deserved. He averaged [-] points per game in the finals, which is an astonishing statistic. Adding four sweeps and winning the championship, it is a playoff that is almost impossible to replicate."
Larry Bird said this, and added: "But what Jordan and Dameng said about Chamberlain's stats, to be honest, haha, well, you'd better interview him himself, maybe interview some fans who watched the game at the time, yes, I'm talking about that 100-point game, haha..."
"Do you think that Chamberlain used data?" The reporter would not let Larry Bird ambiguous, and immediately asked.
"Oh, Chamberlain is undoubtedly a great superstar. No one can deny his talent and strength, yes, but I think he is a little worse than me, because I have more championships than him, haha! Well, this is the end of the interview, do me a favor, I have to catch a plane."
Larry Bird ended the interview after he finished speaking, and if he continued to ask, he had to directly admit that he agreed with what Jordan and Old K said. Although he thought so, Chamberlain still had to give some face to such an old-timer.
Kareem was interviewed at the airport in Cleveland.
"Tiangou, do you think Chamberlain brushes data?"
"Today's weather is good. Well, it's a little rainy. Although it's a bit cold, it looks like it might snow. Well, yes, I hope Wilt can recover as soon as possible. Yes, that's it." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stammered.
"Tiangou, do you think old K is not worthy of No.9 in the top [-]?" Seeing that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was unwilling to answer this question directly, the reporter immediately changed the question.
"He is qualified to enter the top ten, there is no doubt about it. Whether it is old K or Chamberlain, they are all great superstars, there is no doubt about it." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately replied positively.
The media interviewed a large number of stars, and most of them believed that it was no problem for Wang Tiejun to enter the top ten, but a small number of old antiques from the same era as Chamberlain, that is, the so-called ancient beasts, supported Chamberlain even more.
In the afternoon, when Lao Wang returned to Phoenix, the Cleveland Hospital where Chamberlain was staying announced that he was out of danger and had been transferred to a regular ward.
A Phoenix reporter informed Lao Wang of the news, and he was relieved. If Chamberlain died, the media would not know what to write.
Dameng, Jordan and other people who had accused Chamberlain at the scene were even more relieved. If Chamberlain could not be rescued this time, then they would definitely be criticized by the media.
The All-Star weekend is over, the regular season has resumed, and with Rasheed Wallace returning from injury, the Suns' lineup has returned to order.
However, for the playoffs, the coaching staff began to rest in large areas, especially the lightning, which was limited to about 25 minutes per game, and the rest of the time was given to Kidd.
On February 2th, after the All-Star Game, Pharaoh completed an achievement. He scored 14 points in the regular season of his career and was rewarded with 500 points from the system.
By the end of February, the Suns had won all the games in February and ranked first in the league with a record of 52 wins and 5 losses.
But the Suns are not alone, because the Bulls are not far behind, with 51 wins and 6 losses, only one win away.
Wang Tiejun's ranking in the MVP is still at the top, and the statistics are very dazzling. As long as there is no shady scene, the possibility of defending this honor is very high.
The regular season has entered March, and at this time, the interest of American basketball fans has shifted more to NCAA games.
The NCAA Divisional Tournament has come to an end. From the middle of the month, it will really enter March Madness. At that time, the Top 64, the Sweet Sixteen, and the Elite Eight will be the most exciting games. The NBA regular season will make way for it.
On the night of the 6th, Lao Wang came back from the martial arts hall for dinner, turned on the computer, and then opened the mailbox. There were some pictures of the construction of the sports center sent by Bai Changsheng.
The underground building of the basketball stadium has been built, and there is a two-story underground parking lot. The main construction of the above-ground building has not been completed and will be completed at the end of the year, and then it will enter the decoration process. From construction to decoration, it will take a total of [-] months.
The project of the five-star hotel was several times bigger, and it was still in the underground construction stage. According to the regulations, an air-raid shelter was required to be built below, and there were two floors of underground parking above.
Except for the underground facilities, the construction of the other ancillary buildings of the K Times Sports Center has not yet started. This will not start until the main buildings such as the basketball stadium and hotel are completed.
After flipping through the pictures, Lao Wang thought of the vacant land behind South Street, that is, the 40-acre vacant land next to the outdoor basketball courts behind Bar Street. Bai Changsheng suggested that he build a few high-rise commercial buildings to match with the sports center, and he has already agreed.
But the investment is huge. The five-star hotel under construction in the sports center has a 30-story building area of 24 square meters, and the investment including decoration has reached more than 3 million yuan. The investment in the commercial building is not so much, but the investment of the same building is more than [-] million yuan. He has no money now, and he has to accumulate slowly and build slowly in the future.
K Martial Arts now makes tens of millions a year, but apart from taxes, the money he can bring back to China is at most about 3000 million U.S. dollars, which is a 30-storey commercial building of 24 square meters, about [-] million yuan. In this way, it will take several years to get together the money to build several commercial buildings.
Now his idea of investing in Fengshen Street has changed a bit. It is no longer about making money. Now he is really not short of money, but really wants to build that place into a bright spot in the capital, which will give him a great sense of accomplishment.
After thinking about these things, he looked at the time, and it was almost time. He came to the living room, turned on the TV, and prepared to watch a Big East conference game from Georgetown University.
This game is the home court of Georgetown University, and it is against UConn. If they win, Georgetown University can continue to move forward. If they lose, they will be eliminated.
Although the strength of Georgetown University has not been very good in the past few years, it is a veteran NCAA school after all, and the attention is good. This game has a lot to do with it, and it will be broadcast live by ABC TV station across the United States.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Dayao didn't start, but was still on the bench.
Georgetown was not strong enough, and against the more powerful Kangda, it was always behind. In the 6th minute of the first quarter, Dayao came off the bench.
"Clap clap clap..."
Dayao is now a well-known rising star of the Georgetown University men's basketball team. When he came out, the basketball hall burst into warm applause.
As the game progressed, Lao Wang watched the camera. After Dayao played, many middle-aged and elderly men in the audience opened their notebooks and were recording something. There is no doubt that these people must be scouts.
Unfortunately, the team's overall strength is not enough, the game still lost, Georgetown University was eliminated, and stopped in the Big East semifinals.
Dayao played 23 minutes in this game, longer than the main center. He made 8 of 6 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points and 7 rebounds.
Although he is young and immature, he has begun to show a good shooting touch and quick steps around the basket.
It's just a matter of age, and the weight gain has just started, so the tonnage is small, and it looks very thin, like a bamboo pole.
Although he was eliminated, Dayao's performance as a substitute won praise from many media.
ABC TV commentator Elanton said after the game: "Through this season's performance, it is obvious that Georgetown University has found another excellent center seedling, and this is a big center with a height of 224 centimeters.
Yao has a good shooting touch, and his free throw percentage is higher than that of many guards. He has flexible steps around the basket, and his body has good coordination and flexibility. "
Partner Gomez continued: "Yao is from old K's home country, he came from old K's basketball youth summer camp in BJ, and old K personally made all training plans for him including strength training.
He came to the United States by the old K himself, and then the old K entrusted Mutombo and Ewing, and they jointly recommended it to their parent team, Georgetown University.
I want to say that the role of the brand is here. If Georgetown University hadn't trained outstanding centers like Ewing, Mutombo, and Mourning, the old K would definitely recommend Yao to the more famous Duke or California University. "
Elanton continued: "In just one season, Yao has shown great potential. All NBA teams have established draft files for him. We can see that as long as it is his game, there will be a large number of NBA scouts on the scene..."
When Lao Wang saw this, he turned off the TV and went to rest.
Dayao's talent is there, he has trained hard, and now he has the best training environment. As long as there are no accidents, his future path is already very bright, as long as he follows the steps.
He intends to end this season, select a few people from the summer camp after returning to China, and find a way to send them to the United States to play.
The inside line already exists, and he intends to develop a few outside lines, especially guards.
Although the national team has good perimeter players like Hu Weidong and Sun Jun, it is not enough to really make further progress in the Olympics.
And this group of people will also get old, and after playing for a few more years, he will pass his peak period. He has to prepare for the future. The current group of outstanding guards does not match his age.
Especially the point guard is the key. Without a first-class point guard, no matter how strong the inside line is, it may be difficult to pass the halftime if you meet the dream team.
In this Olympic Games, if the men's basketball team has a lightning bolt, he thinks it is possible to take another step forward. It is not impossible to defeat Yugoslavia.
In addition, as far as the 81 team has agreed, he can participate in this year's draft. This matter has been satisfactorily resolved. He has to deal with it and find a good agent first.
David Frank is of course the first choice. This guy's service attitude is still good, and his ability and connections are top-notch.
He only worries about one thing. There are too many big names under David Frank’s banner, such as Jordan, Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo, Iverson, John Stockton, etc., how many resources can Hu Weidong and Dazhi put under his banner?
He had thought about whether Zhang Lili had been well-versed in the NBA in the past few years and had abilities, whether he should be allowed to take the exam for an agent license, but in the end he dismissed the idea.
After entering March, the NBA regular season continued, but the heat was obviously sucked away by the NCAA's March Madness. After entering the crazy 64 rounds, the NCAA's attention was extremely high, and the NBA's ratings dropped significantly.
Even the Suns, which have a hot record this season, have been affected a bit, because the University of Arizona is very strong, and it actually broke out of the top 64 and reached the sweet top [-].
Fortunately, the Suns are indeed very popular in Arizona, and they hope to hit the championship this season, so the impact is not that great.
Two days at the end of the month, the NCAA's Sweet Sixteen is about to start.
On the 25th, in the 69th regular season game, Pharaoh completed another achievement task. The total number of career rebounds reached 5000 and he was rewarded with 300 points.
On the 26th, when it was the turn of the University of Arizona game, Wang Tiejun and a group of teammates went to Tucson to help.
Zhang Lili's ex-sister-in-law studied in this university and stayed in the city after graduation. This time he also went to Tucson City to visit his ex-sister-in-law and watch the game by the way.
As the most popular superstar in the state, Lao Wang's appearance certainly attracted enough attention. As soon as he entered the stadium, he immediately became the center of attention.
"Old K, what do you think of Mike Bibby's draft prospects?" A reporter came up and asked.
"Yes, he will be an excellent point guard. But I don't know which year he will choose to participate in the draft, do you know?" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"I heard that he will not participate in the draft this year. He is only a freshman this year, and he is only 19 years old." A reporter said.
Old Wang looked at the auditorium, there seemed to be quite a few people who looked like scouts, at least he saw a scout from the Suns.
In the end, the University of Arizona defeated its opponent and entered the NCAA's hottest elite eight.
And its footsteps have not stopped. On the 28th, it defeated its opponent again and advanced to the semi-finals with its head held high.
The time has entered April, the NBA regular season has entered the last month, and the NCAA has also entered the craziest ending stage.
On March 3, the semi-finals started.
This year's NCAA Final Four is held in Los Angeles. There will be two semi-finals on the 30th, and the champion will be determined on the 1st.
After the home game on the 29th, there were exactly three days without games, and the schedule was coordinated. At noon on the 30th, Lao Wang, Lightning, and Kobe went to Los Angeles to watch the semi-finals.
Their tickets were taken from Dameng, and the Final Four was held at the Great Western Forum. The Lakers game made way for the Final Four, and the schedule was designed before the start of the season.
A group of people came to the Great Western Forum, and before they entered, they ran into Jordan.
It's not surprising, because tonight's opponent in the semi-finals of the University of Arizona is North Carolina, Jordan's alma mater.
After several people entered the venue, they didn't have a chance to take a seat, so they stood on the sidelines to deal with the reporters, while taking the time to argue about which of the two universities had the better chance of reaching the final.
In terms of confidence, of course, North Carolina is more powerful. Jordan proudly wanted to bet against Lao Wang. The bet was a year of free medicated baths and medicinal oils. If North Carolina lost, he would give Lao Wang a custom-made Ferrari sports car.
Lao Wang's bet is quite high. If he uses it every day, it will add up to at least 100 US dollars a day, and it will be about [-] million US dollars a year.
Jordan's bet was not small. The sports car was also worth a million dollars. Although it was a second-hand car that Jordan had driven, it had only been driven for two to three thousand kilometers, and he hadn't driven it much.
"Bet."
Pharaoh did not hesitate, his bet cost is low, no bet for nothing.
"Things that don't live up to expectations can't beat the University of Arizona..."
As a result, at the end of the game, Jordan left cursing, without saying hello to a group of juniors, and left a sentence before leaving: "Go to Chicago to get the car yourself."
"You bastard, there's no door-to-door service." Old Wang complained with a smile.
"Old K, let me drive the car when you get it." Lightning laughed.
"Whatever, I can't drive it anyway." Old Wang nodded.
"Old K, let me open it too?" Kobe smiled.
"It's enough for a child to drive a pickup." Lao Wang shook his head immediately.
"Stingy! After the playoffs, I will also buy a Ferrari sports car." Kobe said angrily.
Lao Wang glanced at Kobe and said, "Jordan's Ferrari was given by the manufacturer, and mine was given by him. Do you want to buy it yourself?"
"Haha..." Lightning and the others burst out laughing.
The curly hair on Kobe's head almost stood up, and he said unconvinced: "Sooner or later, I will ask Ferrari to give me a sports car."
Played in Los Angeles for a day, on the first day, the NCAA finals began.
In the end, the University of Arizona actually defeated the famous NCAA University of Kentucky and won the school's first NCAA championship. This is also the first NCAA championship since the school was established for a century.
But the team's best performance in this final was not the rising star Mike Bibby, but the main player, Miles Simon, who had mediocre potential, scored 30 points and led the team to win the championship.
Mike Bibby scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and his performance was also extraordinary.
Lao Wang and others stepped forward to congratulate, chatted with several key players, and then left the arena.
At noon on the 66nd, the group returned to Phoenix and defeated the visiting Mosaic team in the evening, winning the [-]th regular season victory.
With 66 wins and 7 losses, the Suns still rank first in the league.
The Bulls are 65 wins and 8 losses, second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference.
The gap between the two teams is still only one game, and the pursuit is quite tight.
Next, the Suns still have 9 regular season games, and they are very hopeful to break the record of 93 wins created by the Bulls in the 94/72 season.
