"The Rockets defeated the Warriors 4-1 to enter the Finals, which is the fourth consecutive year that the Rockets have reached the Finals, and it is also the tenth consecutive season that Wang Chao has reached the Finals."

"In the past nine finals, Wang Chao has successfully lifted the O'Brien Cup six times and won six championships, while the three finals he lost were the Miami Heat led by Wade O'Neal in the 05-06 season, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant in the 07-08 season and the Miami Heat in the 11-12 season."

"Although he lost three times in the Finals, Wang Chao never saved overnight revenge, and won it back immediately after losing to his opponent, and in two consecutive seasons after losing to the Lakers in the 07-08 season, Wang Chao led the Magic to defeat the Lakers in the Finals to win the championship, and the previous two seasons also defeated the Miami Heat led by James Wade in a row."

"Now, Wang Chao and James stand on the stage of the finals at the same time for the fourth consecutive year, if the Rockets win the cup again, the victory or defeat of Wang Chao and James in the finals will come to 4:1, and if the final winner is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the score of 3:2 will not make James look too bad in front of Wang Chao."

Before the finals, all kinds of media are analyzing the finals from multiple angles and aspects.

Wang Chao vs James has been the most hyped and discussed topic in the past few years, which can be described as enduring for a long time, after all, in today's league, the one who can slightly break with Wang Chao in terms of honor is James.

James, who only has one MVP, one championship and one FMVP trophy, is a bit lackluster in terms of honor compared with Wang Chao, who has five MVPs, six championships, and five FMVPs, but looking at the league, he can't find a second player who is still in his prime who can benchmark against Wang Chao.

Therefore, James can be said to carry the expectations of fans in the country of 10,000 kilometers, expecting James to break Wang Chao's monopoly and end the reign of terror of the Great Demon King.

From the perspective of the lineup, the two teams can be said to be comparable, the Cavaliers are more starry, but the Rockets have three players with the best team and the best defensive team, if the regular season record is also used as a reference standard, the Rockets are undoubtedly still firmly on the upper side.

However, before the start of this game, Wang Chao probably also had some psychological preparations, and the process of this finals will definitely be difficult.

For no other reason, the current Rockets have indeed become a thorn in the side of the entire league, including the NBA league official, and they don't want a team that dominates the entire league to appear.

The situation of the princes and the division of the heroes is more conducive to the suspense and enjoyment of the game.

Last summer, former NBA commissioner David Brown. Stern officially stepped down, and the new president of the alliance was still the same copper-smelling businessman who was disgusted by his name.

There's no denying that during that guy's tenure, the commercial value of the NBA has skyrocketed, both teams and players have made a lot of money, and players' contracts have more than doubled from their current status.

But in the same way, all kinds of controversies followed, with referees blowing penalties for the game, deliberately praising certain stars, and even gambling insiders.

Wang Chao, who was a fan before the crossing, was not interested in these things at all, and did not know much about them, and now as a player, he is also not interested in this, but various rumors and wind trends in the outside world before the game have made him have some psychological preparations, at least for the time being, the vast majority of fans who do not want the Rockets to create a dynasty for three consecutive championships.

In order to conform to the ideas of most fans, and at the same time to praise James, the national idol of the United States, the Rockets probably don't want to have a whistle during the Finals.

Of course, if the whistle is not whistled, in Wang Chao's view, it is just a difficult process, and in the face of absolute strength, 5 to 8 can still win the game.

The current strength configuration of the Rockets is not bad at all, in fact, if you want to compare, I am afraid it can be regarded as the strongest except for the 72-win Rockets during the 12-13 season, that is, Da Yao, Garnett is still at the end of his prime, and he still has absolute dominance on the inside.

Even during the Magic team's three-game winning streak, the lineup is not as good as this year, after all, Leonard and Butler, who have grown up, are definitely partners who can be trusted, and more importantly, Wang Chao's personal strength will only become stronger year by year, more comprehensive, and more impeccable!

Even with the help of the referee, the Cavaliers themselves have a strong lineup that will put the Rockets in a hard battle, but Wang Chao is still sure of winning the game and winning three consecutive championships.

——

On June 4, the first game of the NBA2014-15 Finals officially kicked off at the Toyota Center Arena, home of the Rockets.

This battle of the spotlight was undoubtedly broadcast live on sports channels around the world.

CCTV Sports Channel sent Director Zhang to Houston to interview Wang Chao.

In view of the particularity of CCTV Sports and the relationship between the Rocket Team, Director Zhang and others entered the stadium an hour before the game, and interviewed Wang Chao, who came to the stadium in advance to practice warm-up.

"Wang Chao, I'm sorry to bother you to do a short interview for a few minutes."

Director Zhang knew very well that he could not interrupt Wang Chao's warm-up rhythm, so the question was short and direct.

"The finals are just around the corner, it seems that you are ready to fight, do you have any confidence in winning the seventh championship of your career?"

"Of course." The slight warm-up made a slight bead of sweat appear on Wang Chao's forehead, and he smiled and said to the camera: "I am ready for the arrival of the championship, and I am full of confidence, no matter who the opponent is, I will not be able to stop me from moving towards the best step in history." ”

"It is said that Da Yao will officially announce his retirement after the finals, and he has withdrawn from the Chinese national team earlier, Da Yao's retirement is a heavy blow to Chinese basketball, and it also means that you will lack a big reinforcement in the international arena, what do you think about this? In the 2016 Rio Olympics, how far do you think the Chinese men's basketball team can go? ”

Wang Chao shook his head slightly: "The cruelest thing in the world is not victory or defeat but time, it is inevitable for Da Yao to leave the arena, and in the same way, I will also leave this stage one day in the future, but there are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and in the future, Huaguo basketball will continue to appear like Da Yao and me Excellent basketball players will win glory for the country." ”

"Okay, thank you Wang Chao." Director Zhang immediately took over the topic and said: "Wang Chao has full confidence in the future of Chinese basketball, his confidence comes from the youth training system that has begun to be gradually implemented in China, I believe that fans and friends who pay attention to Chinese basketball know that as the most popular athlete in China, Wang Chao spent 100 million US dollars last year to establish a complete youth training system on campus in conjunction with many schools in China, and talented children in high school and college can get grants and a series of ......."

Director Zhang also came with a mission this time, with the help of the influence of the finals, to further promote the Huaguo basketball youth training system funded and supported by Wang Chao.

After a year, in addition to the 100 million US dollars thrown by Wang Chao, the promotion of Yao, the Basketball Association and other forces has begun to take shape in China.

During this period, the operator of CUBA, Li Ning's Feifei Sports, took the initiative to find the person in charge of Wang Chao's youth training program, hoping that Wang Chao could cooperate with them to unite youth training and CUBA to create an NCAA belonging to China.

The idea was good, and many people, including Da Yao, were impressed.

Basketball youth training is a big project, but also a bottomless pit of swallowing gold, it is difficult to really make an effect with Wang Chao's financial strength alone, if it can be combined with CUBA, which has been in operation for more than ten years, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

However, Wang Chao, as the only financier, refused without hesitation.

As a fan who has traveled back in time since 2023, Wang Chao is well aware of the nature of domestic CUBA and what the so-called youth training system looks like.

He can vigorously rectify and restructure and make CUBA truly transformed, but it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will also touch the interests of many people.

Making a mark on a piece of paper that is already covered with scribbles is far more difficult than it is on a blank piece of paper.

Therefore, Wang Chao decisively chose to start anew, even if he invested in the establishment of a new youth league, it was better than mixing with CUBA, anyway, he was not short of money, just continue to throw money into it every year, at least this money will not be directly smashed into some people's pockets.

In a year's time, more than 10 schools have reached cooperation with Wang Chao to participate in his newly founded league, the league is currently tentatively named Wang Chao Cup, which is divided into summer competitions, winter competitions and finals every year.

Under the vigorous promotion of all walks of life, the popularity of Wang Chao Cup has been very high, and there are many sports brands that want to inject funds, but they are all blocked by Wang Chao.

The NCAA was not profitable at the beginning, and it was precisely because of this that a pure basketball league system could be established.

In the final analysis, Wang Chao's biggest role in this is the final decision of money and various decisions.

The detailed implementation is still responsible for the relevant experts, 100 million US dollars in 2014 is very valuable, plus Wang Chao will inject 50 million US dollars every year, the capital chain is sufficient, things are naturally twice the result with half the effort.

Maybe in a few years or more than ten years, Huaguoneng really has its own NCAA league, has a complete youth training system, and continuously delivers high-quality and potential basketball players.

This is also what Wang Chao brought here when he came back from the crossing

Let's turn our attention back to the finals.

Soon after, fans began to pour into the Toyota Center Arena, and the whole stadium became bustling and lively.

One by one, the Rockets fans who entered the home stadium wore jerseys that represented the home team's colors, and they were full of anticipation for the start of the game.

Director Zhang, who had done a brief interview earlier, also explained at the scene.

"The atmosphere at the home of the Rockets is very enthusiastic, this is a team with a championship pedigree, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of a three-game dynasty, and I believe that the audience in front of the TV is the same."

While speaking, the big screen screen at the scene turned, which immediately caused bursts of cheers from the fans in the audience.

I saw that in the big screen picture, a slender beauty was sitting on the sidelines with a little girl carved in pink, and all fans of the Rockets who were a little gossip would not be strangers to this.

This beauty is a well-known former Victoria's Secret supermodel Miranda. Kerr, and the cute little girl in her arms is her and Wang Chao's daughter Wang Kerr.

Since she became pregnant and gave birth to a child last year, Miranda has faded out of the modeling circle and began to concentrate on raising a baby, and by the way, she also served as the CEO and chief designer of a fashion brand that Wang Chao invested and acquired.

The fashion house is currently named after Miranda.

This season, Miranda also appeared in the Rockets' home games many times, cheering for Wang Chao, but this is the first time that she has appeared on the court with her daughter Wang Kerr.

Xiao Keer, who is less than a year old, looks fleshy and very cute, she has perfectly inherited her mother's genes, although she is still a little north nose, but it can also be seen that the future is also a beauty billet at the level of disaster to the country and the people.

I have to sigh again, Wang Chao is really an enviable winner in life.

When Wang Chao introduced the players, he deliberately came to the front row and kissed his daughter, which caused the fans to cheer wildly.

——

The pre-match warm-up was over, and the starters from both sides stayed on the field.

James habitually ran to the technical table to sprinkle magnesium powder, but was stopped by Wang Chao before he could make the move.

"Hey, don't you see that there's a little north nose over there, you're all over the sky and it's not good for children."

James: "......"

As a father of three children, James understood Wang Chao's mood, and could only put down the magnesium powder bottle with a constipated expression.

The narrators who saw this scene in the studio, Buckley and Kenny. Smith was happy.

"Is this also part of Wang Chao's strategy? It's a smart guy not to let LeBron sprinkle magnesium powder before the game to affect his form. ”

On the stage of the finals, the TNT studio is naturally the ace commentary partner. Barkley, Kenny. Smith also has the big shark Shaq. O'neill.

"Shaq, which side do you prefer to support this year's two Finals teams?"

Hear Kenny. Smith asked, O'Neal immediately said without thinking: "Needless to say, of course I support LeBron, first of all, he is my former teammate, and secondly, he is now fighting for his hometown of Cleveland, wanting to bring the first championship trophy to this city that has never had a big cup championship, and last but not least, Wang Chao is about to win the second triple championship, as the winner who won three consecutive championships before him, of course I don't want to be added between him and Jordan, like a ridiculous clown, In the future, when people mention the most dominant players, they will think of Wang Chao and Jordan, and they will not think of the name Shaq at all. ”

When O'Neill said this, he was very funny, and he looked like the dark side of his heart was exposed, and the show was very effective.
