A circle of people quickly gathered around Lao Zhang, and some superstars were alarmed and came over to visit.
"heart disease?"
After hearing the situation, Jordan, Lao Wang, Dameng, and Barkley also came over.
At this time, Chamberlain had been put on the floor and was somewhat unconscious.
"Everyone spread out a little, don't affect the ventilation. Have you arranged a doctor? Be ready for first aid, there are three golden minutes, don't delay." Lao Wang reminded.
He received first aid training in the community where he lived. 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 can do it.
Stern and a group of management also rushed over. He felt that his head hurt and there were signs of cerebral infarction. It was obviously a very successful superstar feast, but it was about to kill someone. He was very depressed.
"Are the emergency doctors here?" As soon as he arrived at the scene and glanced at Chamberlain who was unconscious on the floor, he immediately shouted.
For such a large event, doctors must be arranged, and there was more than one, and several ambulances were contacted.
"Come on, come on!" Several doctors ran over.
As soon as the doctor arrived, after a short examination, he determined that he had a myocardial infarction and that he could no longer breathe on his own. He quickly checked the airway and then started first aid.
"Okay, why did you have a heart attack?" Lao Wang asked.
"I don't know. I heard this is his old problem. He was probably selected into the top 50. Isn't he too excited?" Jordan said.
"It has nothing to do with us anyway," Buckley said.
Lao Wang and others nodded quickly, what does this have to do with them?
In the end, Chamberlain was snatched back, regained some ability to breathe on his own, and was sent to the hospital.
This year's All-Star and Top 50 Superstar Awards Ceremony has come to an end. It was a great success. The number of people watching this All-Star event in North America exceeded tens of millions. The last two minutes to save Chamberlain at least skyrocketed.
Tens of millions of viewers.
When Chamberlain played, there were no TV broadcasts. It is estimated that in the fourteen years since he played, there were not as many people watching him play as there were people watching his rescue in these two 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 Lao K, the most dominant center in the league currently, publicly believed that Lao K was not worthy of being ranked ninth among the top 50 superstars. However, his attitude was opposed by the vast majority of current superstars, even Jordan.
I don’t agree with him either.” Phoenix Sports.
"Jordan believes that Chamberlain is only a regular season superstar, not a real playoff superstar, let alone a super giant in the finals. Jordan seems to think that Old K is qualified to become the ninth superstar in the top 50." New York
Times.
"Da Meng publicly mocked Chamberlain for racking up statistics in the regular season. The three former Mosaic giants all believed that Chamberlain was not qualified to evaluate the old K." Cleveland Sports News.
"Accused by many active superstars in the league, Big Dipper star Chamberlain suffered a heart attack under the stimulation and is still not out of danger." Los Angeles Times.
News about Chamberlain comes 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, and expressed their opinions on relevant issues for the sake of their presence.
In the morning, Larry Bird accepted a television interview with a New York TV station.
"Larry, do you think Chamberlain's illness was caused by the stimulation from K and Jordan?" the reporter asked.
"Of course not. Chamberlain's heart disease has been reported by the media for a long time. He just happened to have the disease at that time and has nothing to do with other people." He said.
"Do you agree with Chamberlain's view? Or do you agree more with Jordan and Lao K's view?" the reporter asked again.
"Oh, actually, in my opinion, Lao K ranks ninth among the top 50 superstars, and he should be well-deserved. In the finals, he averaged 50 points per game. That is a statistic that shocked the past and the present. Plus We swept the last four rounds and won the championship, which was a playoff game that is almost impossible to replicate."
Larry Bird said this and added: "But what Jordan and Damn said about Chamberlain's data, to be honest, haha, well, you'd better interview him himself, maybe interview some people who were watching the game at the time Fans, yes, I am talking about that 100-point game, haha..."
"Do you think Chamberlain swiped the data?" The reporter would not let Larry Bird be vague 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! Okay, that's the end of the interview. End, do me a favor, I have to catch a plane."
Larry Bird ended the interview after saying this. If he continued to ask questions, he would have to directly admit that he agreed with what Jordan and Old K said. Although he thought so, Chamberlain still had to be given some face to an old antique.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was interviewed at the airport in Cleveland.
"Tiangou, do you think Chamberlain is cheating on his data?"
"Today's weather is good, um, it's a little rainy, although it's a bit cold, and it looks like it might snow. Um, by the way, I hope Wilt can recover as soon as possible, yes, that's it." Jabbar hesitated.
"Tiangou, do you think Old K is not worthy of being ranked ninth in the Top 50?" Seeing that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was unwilling to answer the question head-on, the reporter immediately changed the question to another.
"There is no doubt that he is qualified to be in the top ten. Whether it is Old K or Chamberlain, they are both great superstars, there is no doubt about it." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately replied directly.
The media interviewed a large number of stars. Most people think that there is no problem for Wang Tiejun to enter the top ten. However, a small number of old antiques from the same era as Chamberlain, those so-called ancient mythical beasts, are more supportive of Chamberlain.
In the afternoon, when Wang returned to Phoenix, the Cleveland Hospital where Chamberlain was admitted 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 breathed a sigh of relief. If Chamberlain died, the media would not know what they would write about it.
Those who had criticized Chamberlain at the scene, such as Dameng and Jordan, breathed a sigh of relief. If Chamberlain could not be rescued this time, then they would definitely be criticized by the media.
The All-Star weekend is over and the regular season has resumed. With Rasheed Wallace returning from injury, the Suns' lineup is back in order.
However, for the playoffs, the coaching staff began to take extensive breaks, especially the Lightning. The average game was limited to about 25 minutes, and the rest of the time was given to Kidd.
On February 14, after the All-Star Game, Lao Wang completed an achievement. His career regular season score reached 10,000 points, and he received a reward of 500 points from the system.
By the end of February, the Suns had won all their games in February, ranking first in the league with a record of 52 wins and 5 losses.
But the Suns are not alone, because the Bulls are close behind, with 51 wins and 6 losses, only one win away.
Wang Tiejun still ranks first in the MVP ranking, and his data is very dazzling. As long as there is no shady case, it is very possible to defend this honor.
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 round has come to an end. From the middle of the year, March Madness will truly begin. At that time, the Round of 64, Sweet Sixteen, and Elite Eight will be the most exciting games. The regular season of the NBA.
All must make way for it.
On the night of the 6th, Lao Wang came back from dinner at the martial arts gym, turned on his computer, and then opened his 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, with a two-story underground parking lot. The main construction of the above-ground building has not yet been completed and will not be completed until the end of the year. Then it will enter the decoration process, from construction to decoration completion, a total of fourteen months.
.
The project of the five-star hotel is several times larger and is still in the underground construction stage. According to regulations, an air-raid shelter needs to be built below, and there is a two-story underground parking lot above. The construction period is one and a half years, and the decoration time is half a year.
It takes eight months longer than the basketball gym.
Except for the underground facilities, construction of other ancillary buildings of the K-Times Sports Center has not yet started. Construction will not start until the main buildings such as the basketball stadium and hotel are completed.
After looking through the pictures, Lao Wang thought of the open space behind South Street, the 40-acre open space behind the bar street and next to the open-air basketball courts. Bai Changsheng suggested that he build a few high-rise commercial buildings to match with the sports center.
, he has agreed.
However, the investment is huge. The five-star hotel under construction in the sports center has a 30-story building area of 240,000 square meters, and the investment including decoration has reached more than 300 million yuan. The investment in commercial buildings is not that much, but the same building,
The investment needs to exceed 200 million yuan. He has little money now and has to accumulate it slowly and build it slowly in the future.
The k martial arts gym can now earn tens of millions a year, but apart from taxes, the money he can take back home is at most about 30 million US dollars, which is about 200 million yuan for a 30-story commercial building of 240,000 square meters.
Calculated, it will take several years to raise the money to build several commercial buildings.
Now his idea of investing in Fengshen Street has changed somewhat. 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
A great sense of accomplishment.
After thinking about these things, he looked at the time and saw that 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 Georgetown University's home game against UConn. If it wins, Georgetown University can move on. If it loses, it will be eliminated.
Although Georgetown University's strength has not been very good in recent years, it is a well-established NCAA school after all, and its attention is good. This game is very important and will be broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Dayao did not start and was still a substitute.
Georgetown was not strong enough. Against the stronger UConn, it was always behind. In the 6th minute of the first quarter, Dayao came on as a substitute.
"Pa bang bang..."
Dayao is now a well-known rising star on the Georgetown University men's basketball team. When he appeared on the court, the basketball hall burst into warm applause.
As the game progressed, Lao Wang followed the camera and saw that after Dayao came on the field, 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 overall strength of the team was not enough and the game was lost. Georgetown was eliminated and stopped in the Big East Conference semifinals.
Dayao played 23 minutes in this game, which was longer than the main center. He made 6 of 8 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. He performed well. His height under the basket was so advantageous and he could
Pull out and shoot.
Although he is young and immature, he has begun to show good shooting touch and agile pace around the basket.
It's just a matter of age. I just started gaining weight not long ago, so my tonnage is very small and I look 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 prospect, and this is a big center with a height of 224 centimeters.
Yao has a good shooting touch, his free throw percentage is higher than many guards, he has flexible steps under the basket, and his body has good coordination and flexibility."
Partner Gomez continued: "Yao comes from Lao K's homeland. He came from Lao K's basketball youth summer camp in BJ. Lao K personally formulated all training plans for him, including strength training.
He came to the United States personally from Old K, and then Old K entrusted Mutombo and Ewing to jointly recommend him to their parent team, Georgetown University.
I want to say that the role of signatures is here. If Georgetown University hadn't trained outstanding centers like Ewing, Mutombo, and Mourning, Old K would definitely recommend Yao to the more famous Duke or California.
University."
Ilanton 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 players on the scene.
The scouts..."
When Lao Wang saw this, he turned off the TV and went to rest.
Dayao's talent is there and he trains hard. Now he has the best training environment. As long as nothing unexpected happens, his future will be very bright. He just needs to follow the steps.
He plans to select a few people from the summer camp after returning to China after the season is over and find a way to send them to the United States to play.
He already has inside players, and he plans to train a few outside players, especially defenders.
Although the national team has a group of good perimeter players such as Hu Weidong and Sun Jun, it is not enough if they want to really take a further step in the Olympics.
Moreover, this group of people will also get older, and they will be past their peak period after playing for a few more years. He needs to prepare for the future. The current group of outstanding defenders does not match his age well.
In particular, the point guard is crucial. Without a first-class point guard, no matter how strong the inside line is, it will be useless. If you encounter the dream team, it may be difficult to pass half the game.
In this Olympics, if there is a lightning bolt for the men's basketball team, he feels that it is possible to take another step forward, and defeating Yugoslavia is not impossible.
In addition, Da Zhi has already received the consent of Team 81 that he can participate in this year's draft. This matter has been successfully resolved. He also needs to deal with it and find a good agent first.
David Frank is of course the first choice. This guy's service attitude is quite good, and his abilities and connections are top-notch.
The only thing he worries about is that there are too many big names owned by David Frank, such as Jordan, Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo, Iverson, John Stockton, etc. Hu Weidong and Da Zhi put them under his
How many resources can you get under the banner?
He did consider whether Zhang Lili could get an agent's license since he had become quite familiar with the NBA in the past few years and was very capable, but in the end he gave up the idea.
After entering March, the NBA regular season is still continuing, but the popularity is obviously sucked away by the NCAA's March Madness. After entering the crazy Top 64, the NCAA's attention is extremely high, and the NBA's ratings have dropped significantly.
Even the Suns, who have a great record this season, have been somewhat affected, because the University of Arizona is very strong and actually advanced to the top 64 and the Sweet Sixteen.
Fortunately, the Suns are indeed very popular in Arizona, and they hope to compete for the championship this season, so the impact will not be that big.
In the next two days at the end of the month, the NCAA's Sweet Sixteen is about to begin.
On the 25th, in the 69th regular season game, Lao Wang completed another achievement task, reaching 5,000 career rebounds and receiving a reward of 300 points.
On the 26th, when it was the University of Arizona's turn to play, Wang Tiejun and a group of teammates went to Tucson to help out.
Zhang Lili's former sister-in-law studied abroad at this university and stayed in this city after graduation. This time he also went to Tucson to visit his former sister-in-law and watch the game.
As the most popular superstar in the state, Pharaoh's appearance certainly attracted a lot of 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.
Lao Wang took a look at the auditorium. There seemed to be a lot of 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 most popular Elite Eight.
But its pace has not stopped yet. On the 28th, it defeated its opponent again and advanced to the semi-finals.
Time has entered April, the NBA regular season has entered the last month, and the NCAA has also entered the craziest closing stage.
On March 30, the semi-finals will begin.
This year's NCAA Final Four will be held in Los Angeles. There will be two semifinals on the 30th and the champion will be decided on the 1st.
After the home game on the 29th, there were no games for three days. According to the schedule, at noon on the 30th, Wang, the Lightning, Kobe and others went to Los Angeles to watch the Final Four.
Their tickets were obtained from Big Dream. The Final Four was played at the Great Western Forum Arena. The Lakers game made way for the Final Four. The schedule was designed before the start of the season.
A group of people came to the Great Western Forum Arena and met Jordan before they even entered.
It’s not surprising, because tonight the University of Arizona’s opponent in the Final Four is North Carolina, Jordan’s alma mater.
After several people entered the venue, they did not have a chance to sit down. They stood on the sidelines to deal with reporters, while taking time to argue about which of the two universities had a greater chance of reaching the finals.
In terms of confidence, North Carolina is of course more confident. Jordan proudly wants to make a bet with Lao Wang. The bet is a year of free medicinal baths and medicinal oils. If North Carolina loses, he will give Lao Wang a customized Ferrari sports car.
Lao Wang's bet is quite large. If he uses it every day, it will add up to at least three thousand US dollars a day, which will be about one 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 traveled two to three thousand kilometers and had not been driven much.
"It's a bet."
Lao Wang didn't hesitate. The cost of his bet was low. If he didn't bet, it would be in vain.
"You can't even beat the University of Arizona if you don't live up to expectations..."
As a result, at the end of the game, Jordan cursed and left without even saying hello to a group of juniors. Before leaving, he left one sentence: "Go to Chicago and get the car yourself."
"You bastard, you don't have door-to-door delivery service." Lao Wang complained with a smile.
"Old K, let me drive the car when you get it," Lightning said with a smile.
"Whatever, I can't open it anyway." Lao Wang nodded.
"Old K, can you lend me a hand?" Kobe said with a smile.
"It's enough for a child to drive a pickup truck." Lao Wang immediately shook his head and said.
"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 others laughed.
The curly hair on Kobe's head almost stood up, and he said unconvinced: "Sooner or later I'm going to ask Ferrari to give me a sports car."
I spent a day in Los Angeles, and on the 1st, the NCAA finals started.
In the end, the University of Arizona actually defeated the famous NCAA school, the University of Kentucky, and won the school's first NCAA championship. This was also the school's first NCAA championship in its century-old history.
But the team's best performer in this final was not the rising star Mike Bibby, but the main player, Miles Simon, who had average potential. He scored 30 points in the game and led the team to win the championship.
Mike Bibby scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. His performance was also extraordinary.
Lao Wang and others came forward to congratulate him, chatted with several key players, and then left the arena.
At noon on the 2nd, the group returned to Phoenix and defeated the visiting Mosaic team in the evening, winning their 66th regular season victory.
With 66 wins and 7 losses, the Suns are still first in the league.
The Bulls are 65 wins and 8 losses, second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference.
There is still only one win between the two teams, and they are chasing each other very closely.
The Suns have nine regular season games left and are very hopeful to break the 72-win record set by the Bulls in the 1993/94 season.
