Before I knew it, a few months passed like a white horse, and the time soon came to November 2011.

Over the past few months, the coalition management and labor have been negotiating constantly, trying to find a balance between the two sides.

It can't be helped, the NBA shutdown is a huge loss for both sides, and the management side is slightly better, but for most players, not being able to play means that their only source of income is cut off.

Finally, at the end of November, after 15 hours of negotiations, the two sides announced that an agreement had been reached, the shutdown was over, and the NBA league officially resumed operations.

This result has greatly relieved many people.

Previously, labor negotiations were at an impasse, and even publicly announced that the negotiations had broken down, and the entire league had fallen apart.

Fortunately, in the end, the two sides finally reached an agreement after taking a step back.

But even so, the suspension of collective bargaining agreements had a serious impact on the 11-12 season.

The 11-12 season will officially start on Christmas Day on December 25, and the free market and training camp will open on December 9, and teams can get in touch with players to sign and trade.

The pre-season was cancelled outright, and the original 82 games were compressed to 66, and the schedule was also very tight, with a large number of back-to-back and consecutive games, which will be a very severe test for the players' physical fitness and body.

Regardless, the NBA can survive, the players still have money, and salaries haven't been affected much by collective bargaining, which is already the best outcome.

After the shutdown ended, Leonard and four other rookies left for Houston to report that they needed to participate in a side-of-the-body trial with the team and officially sign a contract.

From the beginning of August to the beginning of November, the four of them trained with Wang Chao in New York for nearly three months, and everyone has made great progress, especially Leonard and Butler, as Wang Chao is very optimistic about and personally works very hard as future stars, Wang Chao takes extra care, and the two have to have a heads-up game with Wang Chao almost every day.

The results of heads-up are naturally self-evident, they are beaten by Wang Chao almost every day, but such a masochistic experience has also made their skills and experience continue to improve, and more importantly, under the sparring potion that Wang Chao regularly uses, their growth and progress are much faster than ordinary training.

"Big brother, we'll see you in Houston!"

At the time of parting, Leonard Butler and the other four people all said gratefully to Wang Chao.

At first, they didn't understand why Wang Chao specially invited the four of them to train with him, both money and effort.

But after Da Yao arrived, he revealed to them the news that Wang Chao would join the Rockets.

The four of them were shocked and excited.

It's Big Brother!

Wang Chao is the strongest player in the league today, and the boss of the Rockets is Yao who trains with them.

Da Yao left the training camp in early October, after all, he had too many things to do, and it was not easy to spare two months to train with Wang Chao, and he had to return to China to deal with some things before the start of the NBA regular season.

And these two months of training have brought a lot of changes to Da Yao.

With the reasonable diet of the nutritionist hired by Wang Chao with high salary, Da Yao's weight has successfully lost nearly 5 kilograms in the past two months, and the effect and speed are far stronger than Wang Chao imagined.

Of course, this is thanks to Wang Chao's sparring potion, during the training period, Da Yao continued to enjoy the 30% bonus effect of Wang Chao's training potion, and everything he practiced was twice the result with half the effort, and the effect was quite good.

Da Yao, who is 140 kilograms, has lost weight to 135 kilograms, and he doesn't feel anything when he looks at the numbers, but if he looks at people, he can clearly feel a big difference.

Wang Chao's plan is for Da Yao to lose his weight to about 130 kilograms in a year, which is reasonable considering Da Yao's height of 2.26 meters.

Da Yao's rookie body test reported a weight of about 134 kilograms, and at that time he just looked thin, and his flexibility was very good among the center.

Considering that Da Yao is now old and there are still a lot of hidden dangers of injury, it is also for the sake of safety to lose a little more weight.

With a weight of 130 kilograms, he is also a heavy center in today's league.

When the time enters 2010, looking at the next 20 years of the league, there are not many centers who weigh more than 120 kilograms.

Including Howard, who weighed just 120 kilograms, later had to lose weight and improve mobility in order to adapt to the brisk pace of the small-ball era.

Even if Da Yao weighs 130 kilograms, it is enough to take advantage of the inside line.

When training with Da Yao, Wang Chao added a lot of mid-range training for Da Yao, and even knocked about a week or so of special training potions for this purpose, in order to let Da Yao practice a hand-to-hand distance shooting.

In fact, fans who know Da Yao know that he has always had a basket, and the shooting distance can reach a step within the three-point line, but during the NBA, his style of play is more close to the basket, after all, in that era of center supremacy, the general perception of coaches is that the closer to the basket, the higher the scoring efficiency.

Da Yao has a basket in the middle distance, but it has not reached the level where it can be used as a conventional weapon to deter opponents, so Wang Chao has helped Da Yao with blood, and the result is naturally very good.

Da Yao's mid-to-long-range shooting ability has made great strides in the week-long intensive training, and now he has a very high shooting rate in the open space, even if there is someone defending in front of him, it is basically difficult to cause effective interference in front of Da Yao's exaggerated height and arm span.

It is worth proposing that in order to let Da Yao strengthen the lethality of the middle distance, Wang Chao knocked a week of special training potions and focused the special training project on mid-range shooting, but he didn't expect Wang Chao's own middle-distance shooting to improve.

There are three branches of mid-range shooting, which are open shots, interfered shots, and dribble shots.

Previously, Wang Chao had successfully strengthened the three ability values to the level of 97 in the long-term previous training, and during the subsequent 10-11 season, although he did not interrupt the training of mid-distance shooting, the ability value has always stayed at 97 without any change.

But this time, after using the special training potion and practicing the mid-range shooting with Da Yao, these three abilities have finally improved.

Both the vacant mid-range and the interfered mid-range shot reached 98, and after dribbling, the mid-range shot was directly strengthened to 99 full value, becoming Wang Chao's first ability value to be strengthened to 99 full value through his own exercise!

This really surprised Wang Chao, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not an exaggeration.

Mid-range shooting is the ability he began training during his time with the Suns, and Wang Chao has always enjoyed the BUFF of the 30% shooting training effect bonus of the marksman's talent, and the shooting training is twice the result with half the effort.

After so many years of long-term training, he has already accumulated a lot of experience, and this time he used the special training potion, which was like the final sprint near the finish line, and it was also an unexpected joy to help Wang Chao break through the shackles in one go.

——

From August to November, in more than 3 months, if you want to say that the biggest improvement is definitely not the four rookies who still have a lot of room for improvement, but Wang Chao.

This is a matter of course, the sparring potion can only allow them to enjoy a 30% potion bonus effect, but during this period, Wang Chao himself is 100% of the training potion effect!

There is already a huge gap between the two sides in terms of plug-ins, and Wang Chao is not so good as to use sparring potions for these guys every day.

Over the course of a week, Wang Chao would use the sparring potion two or three times, mainly to allow them to enjoy the physical recovery effect of the physical potion during training and reduce fatigue.

Even so, Wang Chao has to spend 150 points on these stinky boys every week, and the direct cost of three months has reached 1,800 points, which makes him quite painful.

And when these points are used on Wang Chao's own body, he doesn't feel distressed at all.

In the past three months, Wang Chao has successfully squandered less than half of his nearly 16,000 points.

There is no way, the consumption of training is far higher than Wang Chao imagined, especially after the new training potion is shelved, the price of five times is extremely fast.

Wang Chao trains every day to use a bottle of physical fitness potion to restore physical strength, a bottle of concentration potion to improve training concentration, and then according to the needs of the training content, he also knocks a bottle of training bonus potion or special training potion to speed up the training progress.

This means that he consumes at least 70 points per day.

More than three months, nearly 100 days, that's 7000 points! Add in the 1,800 sparring potion points consumed for the four rookies such as Da Yao and Leonard, and that's 8,800 points!

And during the training period,Wang Chao also tried the simulation potion,I originally thought that the meaning of the unknown may not be useful for the simulation potion,But it is much easier to use than Wang Chao imagined,This thing is a bit like a VR game,The function is similar to NBA2K's custom game,After use, you can arbitrarily draw up the opponent to play in your sleep,Regardless of the rules or conditions, you can draw up your own。

Wang Chao tried to simulate the lineup of the Magic team on his side, and then the opponent was Kobe, Wade, James, Durant and the five-man lineup of the peak O'Neal, and then he was beaten without suspense.

He knew that the role of this thing was not to find himself unhappy and sad, but to create some difficult competition conditions in a real dream simulation, and then train and enrich his reactions and coping measures in the face of such situations.

For example, what to do when James and Durant, two top defenders, cover themselves and don't have a chance to pass.

Durant has the advantage of height and arm span, and James' strength and tonnage can also suppress him, even Wang Chao was in a hurry for a while, and he made mistakes and lost the ball many times.

The only pity is that the duration of the simulated potion is only 1 hour, which is really not suitable for more than 50 points compared to the high price of 50 points.

In three months, spending more than 9,000 points, Wang Chao has gained a lot.

At present, on the data panel of the system, Wang Chao's total rating ability value has broken through the 90 mark and reached 91!

You know, this is not the NBA2K's overall rating ability, but the system's overall rating, which is calculated by simply and crudely taking the average.

The total rating in the system reaches 91, which means that the average degree of all Wang Chao's ability values has reached the exaggerated degree of 91, and in the 2K game, the proper 99 ability value is gone!

And it will show 99 ability value just because the full value of 2K games is only 99, except for O'Neal in the early 2K games appeared once 100 ability value total evaluation, the highest ability value of the past 2K games is 99, whether it is Jordan of the historical role in the game, or the current top player, 99 is the peak that can be reached.

Even in some series, there have been cases where the overall rating of players has dropped after the development has lowered the overall rating compensation.

For example, NBA2K16, James ranked first in ability value has an overall rating of 94, Curry in second place has an overall rating of 93, and there are only six people in the entire league who have a total rating of more than 90.

Wang Chao's 91 ability value is a total evaluation, I'm afraid that even if it is placed in 2K16, it should be at least above 97, and it is not surprising to even give a 99 directly.

19 offensive abilities with an average of 93, including three 3-point shots with a full value of 99 and a mid-range shot from the dribble at 99.

Among all the offensive capabilities, in addition to 69's dunk on the spot, 88's dunk, 89's back-to-body action, and 87's ability to make fouls, all of them have reached more than 90, and the offensive ability can be said to be unique even if you look at the entire NBA league, and Jordan, the god of basketball, can only look at it, after all, Joe's three-point shot has always been a shortcoming.

The average ability value of 7 quality abilities has reached 94, compared to the offensive ability of up to 19 items, only 7 physical fitness abilities are easier and more convenient to exercise.

Speed and agility have been strengthened from 95 to 96 in the past 3 months, with the blessing of training bonus potions and special training potions.

In terms of physical strength, Wang Chao finally reached the full value of 99, and he is the second ability to reach the full value of 99 through exercise after dribbling.

It is worth mentioning that after the physical strength value reached 99, Wang Chao saw the requirement that the physical strength value be promoted to 100.

Played 48 minutes in more than 80 games.

Current progress is 0/80.

Wang Chao: "......"

That's a bit of an exaggeration, 48 minutes of playing time means not a minute off, and it's no joke.

Even if he is as strong as the physical monster Kobe, he has only played a full game twice in his entire career.

If Wang Chao brushes this condition, it is not impossible to achieve it, but he must do a good job in the distribution of physical strength and make reasonable use of his talent as a long-distance runner.

What's more, you must have a stamina potion after the game to relieve the accumulated fatigue of the body, although the talent of steel and iron bones is very strong, it is not 100% impossible to get injured, you must be careful.

Wang Chao's strength has not changed much, just further from 87 to 88.

Even if it was just this progress, it also made Wang Chao sweat, he was really worried that because of the change in this 1 point of ability, his shooting ability value attribute would be collectively reduced.

It is logical that the increase in power leads to a decrease in the feel of the shot.

Wang Chao is reluctant to grow in power and cause his top perimeter shooter to feel even the slightest impact.

Moreover, the strength of less than 90 is enough for Wang Chao to use in the forward position, after all, not everyone has to be trained to play like a muscle tank like James.

Fortunately, the strength of 1 point has not affected Wang Chao's outside feel, which is also related to Wang Chao's continuous shooting training.

Several other abilities in the quality class, bounce, and explosiveness have also improved to a certain extent, but due to their high values, the improvement is not large.

Wang Chao's biggest improvement is undoubtedly in the two categories of defense and spirit.

With the blessing of the two major potions of training bonus and special training, plus professional trainers and sparring of rookie rookies such as Leonard, Wang Chao's average defensive ability value has reached 86, and the average ability value of the mental class has also reached 84.

Defensively: 83 offensive rebounds, 90 defensive rebounds, 81 blocks, 88 steals, 89 outside defenses, 84 interior defenses, 89 card positions.

Mentally: 89 offensive awareness, 81 defensive awareness, 88 passing awareness, 83 help defense awareness, 82 anti-interference, 85 stability.

Although the defensive average of 86 and the mental average of 84 are not yet up to the top ranks of the league, they are enough for Wang Chao at this stage, especially in terms of outside defense, with his current defensive level, if he is a little more serious, it should not be a big problem to be selected as the best defensive second team.

——

The shutdown ended, the free market opened, and the league finally got back on track, and within a few days of the free market, the league caused another violent earthquake because of a series of big moves.

Wang Chao is one of the initiators of the earthquake!
