—————————————————————————————————————————————
Of course, this was purely superficial, for the photographers on the sidelines. Kobe, who was already embarrassed by the loss, would never allow anyone to say that he lost, and lost badly.
This was evident in the stiffness of his congratulatory words.
"Wang, congratulations on winning the championship. You have a better team and deserve to win this championship trophy."
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows. Kobe's words sounded as if nothing had happened, but there was actually some truth in them.
If you have a better team and better teammates, you should win. But that doesn't mean you're better than me just because you have better teammates than I do.
It was entirely conceivable that Kobe wanted to grit his teeth when the championship trophy was taken from him.
But, what could he do if he wasn't happy? Who stopped you from winning?
"Thanks," Wang Chong responded with a smile. "I look forward to competing with you in the finals next year."
The rigid smile on Kobe's face disappeared, and he turned and walked straight toward the tunnel.
It breaks my heart, old man.
This year, the Lakers lost miserably to the Bulls 1:4. The strength gap was quite obvious. Even if the Lakers made it to the finals next year, it would be difficult to defeat the Bulls if they continue with their current lineup.
Losing to Wang Chong once in the finals was already bad enough. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose to Wang Chong in two consecutive years.
As he walked toward the tunnel, Kobe had already made a decision.
"This summer, no matter what, we have to keep pushing the team management and try to trade for stronger players."
——A moment later, on the makeshift podium on the court, NBA president David Stern personally presented the championship trophy to the Bulls, and then officially announced the FMVP Finals selection results.
There was no suspense, Wang Chong was unanimously selected as the Finals FMVP.
In 2008, the FMVP trophy was still not called the Bill Russell Cup, and of course, the elder was not invited to present the trophy in person. Wang Chong received the FMVP trophy from Stern.
After handing the trophy to Wang Chong, Stern and Wang Chong embraced warmly and said with a smile, "Congratulations, young man, your era is about to begin."
Wang Chong knew that Stern's words held deep meaning.
In this final, whether Wang Chong or Kobe won, it was a situation Stern could accept. Both were extremely popular players in the league and could serve as excellent promotional figures, especially the victory of the Chinese-American Wang Chong. It would undoubtedly accelerate the NBA's expansion into China.
The NBA is a business league, and everything is based on money standards. Therefore, whether it was Wang Chong or Kobe, as long as they could win the championship, it was a success.
Stern was very happy, and Wang Chong was even happier, not because of the support shown in Stern's words, but because when he received the FMVP trophy, the system prompt sounded in his ears for a long time.
"Ding——! The host has obtained the FMVP trophy, the conditions for the system update task have been met, the update is complete, and new functional modules will soon be unlocked, please pay attention to check."
Finally done!
It had been two years since Wang Chong's skill value reached the growth peak of 97 on Durant's growth template card, and the system was updated.
Although the system's random tasks would continue to be issued normally during this period, Wang Chong clearly felt that the frequency of random tasks had reduced considerably. This led to the limited progress Wang Chong had made in two years. In addition to his experience growing through continuous competition, there had been no significant improvements in basic skills.
Now that the system update was finally completed, it meant that Wang Chong could continue progressing and strengthening.
Although what Kobe Bryant said earlier sounded strange, it wasn't absurd.
The reason Wang Chong was able to defeat Kobe was mainly because the Bulls had a stronger lineup than the Lakers.
The combination of Garnett + Billups completely defeated Gasol + Odom of the Lakers, and the other role lineups were also better than those of the Bulls.
If the Bulls still had the lineup of Ellis, Luol Deng, and Tyson Chandler, it might have been difficult to win against the Lakers.
Although it's always been common sense that the strong defeat the weak, over the decades of the league, teams that have won championships have generally been the teams with the strongest lineups in the league, including the period when the Lakers and Celtics dominated the league. Few teams could compete with these two giants in terms of lineup.
But as a player, from the perspective of subjective will, of course, he hopes to become stronger and become the undisputed strongest—one of those who can win championships easily no matter where he goes and with any teammates.
As a time traveler, Wang Chong was familiar with the development of the league over the next decade. Winning consecutive championships is not that easy. He uses the advantage of foresight as a time traveler to continuously obtain high-quality players from second-round picks, then buy cheap and sell high. The Bulls' lineup will always be the strongest in the league.
But what's the point? After finally traveling through time and obtaining the system, Wang Chong certainly wants to rise above all and become the undisputed strongest in NBA history and even in the history of world basketball.
——After the awards, the Bulls players couldn't wait to return to the locker room and start celebrating, spraying champagne on each other and lighting victory cigars.
After Wang Chong returned to the locker room, he didn't immediately join the large group of carnival celebrations. Instead, he found a corner to sit down and couldn't wait to enter the conscious space.
When entering the conscious space, time in the outside world is relatively static. In theory, as long as Wang Chong stays in the conscious space, time for him will be infinite, and he won't age or die forever.
Of course, a normal person wouldn't do this because there's nothing in the conscious space except the system interface, and nothing can be done. It's like being locked in a closed space. The loneliness alone is enough to drive someone crazy.
This was also the first time Wang Chong entered the conscious space since the system initiated the update task.
At first glance, the upgraded conscious space didn't seem very different from the previous one, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences. It felt a bit like a mobile game system update.
Of course, it was impossible for the update task that Wang Chong had put so much effort into to be completed without any changes.
Before the system update, the conscious space was mainly divided into three panel modules: the general system interface, the overall ability value assessment interface, and the detailed interface, with the last one being the badge interface.
After the update, in addition to these three interfaces, the system added three new interfaces, which are the three new functional modules added after the system update.
These three modules are called the achievement module, the training module, and the badge update module.
The first new module, the achievement module, as the name suggests, is a module that tracks Wang Chong's various achievements in the field.
After Wang Chong entered the module interface, the first thing he saw was a dazzling variety of records, most of which were in a gray and inactive state.
These include historical scoring records, single-game scoring records, various young scoring records, consecutive 20+, 30+, 40+, and even 50+ scoring records, etc.
Not only scoring but also rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and other data—any statistical record in the NBA will be recorded in the achievement module.
In addition to statistics, there are other awards and honors, such as championships, MVPs, FMVPs, best team, best defensive team, scoring champion, etc.
As long as Wang Chong achieves these honors and data records, he will be rewarded to varying degrees.
Even now, Wang Chong had already seen several achievement records light up.
These include three consecutive scoring champion achievements, the first regular season MVP achievement, and the first FMVP achievement of the finals—a total of three achievements.
These three achievements gave Wang Chong a total of 500 points as a reward.
It seems that this reward is a bit small. The system's previous random tasks easily rewarded more than a thousand points.
But, in fact, those point rewards are reasonable. Whether it's the regular season MVP or the FMVP, there will definitely be a winner every season. Therefore, winning these two awards just once won't make a significant difference in the historical ranking of players.
If we look at the top ten players in NBA history, all of them have more than one MVP or FMVP.
Jordan, recognized as the greatest of all time, has five MVPs and six FMVPs. James, who will later be forcibly promoted to the second-highest rank in history by various means, also has four MVPs and four FMVPs.
One thing to note is that if James' name were obscured and his various decisions throughout his career were blocked, just looking at his honors, there would really be nothing wrong with calling him the second-best player in history.
Continuing down the list, players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Bird, Duncan, and Russell have multiple MVPs and FMVPs.
And further down, players like Kobe, Shaq, Curry, Olajuwon, and other players all have at least one MVP and FMVP, and at least two of them.
Wang Chong's MVP and FMVP don't really rank highly in this regard, but according to the reward mechanism of the achievement module, every time Wang Chong wins a regular season MVP or FMVP, his historical rank will rise. Reaching a certain ranking could even unlock better rewards.
He took a quick look and discovered that if he won four MVPs, the point reward would be as high as 2000. If he won five MVPs, the point reward would go straight to 3000!
The same applies to FMVP rewards in the finals.
Overall, the main function of the achievement module is to provide point rewards. The more achievements Wang Chong achieves, the more generous the rewards will be. Basically, he will be able to use the points freely.
The second module is the module that makes the points useful, the training module.
Since Wang Chong's skill value reached 97, he has not been very active in training. Basically, he just keeps normal daily training.
Because Wang Chong is linked to Durant's growth template card, no matter how much he trains, he will never exceed Durant's growth limit. This is the main reason why he is eager to complete the system upgrade.
Durant is very strong in terms of scoring ability, if you look at the history of the league, he is probably second only to Jordan. No other player, including Kobe, would dare to say he is better than Durant.
But again, what Wang Chong wants is to surpass Jordan, not become the league's top star and then rest on his laurels.
But the new training module is an opportunity for Wang Chong to surpass the upper limit of growth.
The effect of this module is very simple. It allows Wang Chong to ignore the upper limit of the growth template card and advance to a higher level during the training process.
Not only that, Wang Chong was surprised when he learned about the effectiveness of the training module.
"The training module consumes points to redeem for training strengthening time. During the duration of the training strengthening effect, the player's training experience is doubled, the body's recovery speed is doubled, and the rate of physical strength decline is halved. You can choose to lock a single skill value for special training. The maximum increase of the unique skill value is 99".
In a nutshell, it is like buying a monthly card, growth fund or senior VIP to play. You can enjoy additional privileges during the paid effect period.
Although there is no way to consume points directly to strengthen the skill value like when equipping a growth template card, and it requires training to achieve real improvement, at least it can generate real improvement.
Wang Chong is not afraid of hard work, but he is afraid of not gaining anything after working hard for a long time, which is a waste of time.
In addition, a description of the training module also drew Wang Chong's special attention, that is, for the duration of the strengthening effect of training, the recovery speed of the body is doubled.
The above words about doubling the training experience and halving the physical energy consumption are bonuses that contribute to the training effect, but the so-called doubling of the body's recovery speed is a bit intriguing.
"System, what exactly does doubling the body's recovery speed mean?"
"When the host is injured, activate the improvement of training can strengthen the effect of recovery training and achieve the effect of doubling the recovery from injury."
The system's response made Wang Chong could not help but shout "fuck."
The speed of injury recovery is doubled. This effect is really amazing!".
Throughout the history of the league, there has never been a shortage of talented players with outstanding talents, but few have actually become the best superstars in the league and a large portion of them have been destroyed by injuries.
Typical examples include Grant Hill, known as Jordan's successor, Tracy McGrady, who suffered multiple injuries and his talent was largely hidden, Derrick Rose, the youngest regular season MVP in history and the number one pick in last year's draft who landed in the league. Greg Oden, a super center said to be rare in 50 years.
Even Wang Chong's growth model, Kevin Durant, was hit hard by injuries. Not only did he lose the chance to create a dynasty of three consecutive championships with the Warriors due to injuries, but he also suffered injuries many times in his career. this all-time super scorer could not keep up with the rest of the team in his scoring career.
Wang Chong traveled back in time in 2023, when the Nuggets had just won the championship. At that time, Durant scored more than 27,000 points in his career, ranking 12th on the scoring list, far behind Elvin Haye, who was 11th. Sri Lanka is not far behind Moses Malone, who ranks 10th, but compared to Jordan, Kobe and others, there is still a gap of nearly 5,000 points.
Based on Durant's 1,500 points per season in recent years, it will take three seasons to catch Jordan and four seasons to surpass Kobe. For Durant, who is now 35 years old and has suffered serious injuries, will he still be able to contend to win? Another three or four years will be a problem.
If he had not missed many games due to injuries, with Durant's scoring ability, he would have had a chance to catch James and move toward 40,000 points and become the all-time scoring leader.
Wang Chong, who has Durant's growth squad card, has the same deficiencies as Durant and his ability to withstand injuries is not strong enough.
With the training module, his recovery from injuries will improve significantly. In theory, the injury time will be at least half that of Durant.
In addition, the intensive training effect of the training module is also effective in affecting the comprehensive durability of injury and recovery ability.
Wang Chong has decided to give priority to strength training in the first training module, which is the comprehensive durability and fitness, which are his two major weaknesses in the field.
