In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the SuperSonics defeated the Lakers.

"Wang Hao vs. OK Group!"

Early the next morning, when the newspaper appeared in the eyes of fans, they were shocked to see a very gimmick news.

After all, the NBA is one of the most influential sports events in the United States and has a large number of fans.

It's just that, after all, only a few people can enter the arena to watch the game live.

There's no way, even for regular season games that don't attract much attention, the cheapest ticket costs dozens of dollars.

And by the playoffs, this price will skyrocket.

Not to mention, it's the Western Conference Finals now, and the Lakers vs. SuperSonics are widely watched.

Tickets can easily cost hundreds or even thousands, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

As for television broadcasts, this is the way for most fans to watch the games. It is cheap and convenient.

However, there are still some fans who can neither watch the game live nor watch it on TV.

After all, you are a working man and you have to earn a living.

At this time, news, newspapers, and even some magazines were the way for them to learn about the NBA.

There is no way, after all, it is still a backward era.

In 20 years' time, this kind of thing would not be too simple, and there would be no need to wait for the next day's newspaper.

As for today's newspapers, they are naturally reporting on yesterday's Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

This is not just the case in the United States, but also in China.

Chang Rui is an ordinary skilled worker. Although he is a college student, his daily work is not simple.

As a college graduate, it is not impossible to live a more relaxed life.

But, he can't.

Two years after graduating from college, I had already bought a house, had a mortgage loan, and had just gotten married not long ago.

Not only that, the couple is also planning to have a child.

One mountain after another was pressing down on him, so Chang Rui didn't dare to be careless at all.

In fact, even the basketball he once loved has become farther and farther away from him. He has forgotten how long ago it was when he last played freely on the basketball court.

The only thing that still makes him care about basketball is that he keeps paying attention to NBA and national team games.

To put it more clearly, he is actually paying attention to Wang Hao.

He remembered clearly that about six years ago, the Chinese national team was training in the United States before participating in the Atlanta Olympics.

At that time, it was the first time he seriously learned about the NBA. Before that, his understanding of the NBA was limited to Jordan.

As a college student, he has a strong ability to accept new things, and he has learned a lot.

Just before he graduated, he suddenly heard that a Chinese player had entered the NBA.

At that time, many friends around me didn’t believe it at all.

Even if it was confirmed later, everyone is not so sure about Wang Hao's future in the NBA.

They are more willing to believe that our trend-chasing boy Wang Zhizhi is more capable of establishing himself in the NBA.

However, before everyone could react, Wang Hao grew rapidly.

However, the shock that Wang Hao brought to them was not just that.

"Awesome, you are worthy of being my Brother Hao!"

Chang Rui is actually older than Wang Hao, but that doesn't stop him from calling him that.

Because of work, he was unable to watch yesterday's Battle of Tianwang Mountain, which was a pity for him.

Nowadays, we can only learn about the situation through newspapers.

In addition to the victory or defeat during the game, what concerned fans like Chang Rui the most was Wang Hao's personal performance.

To put it bluntly, it is data.

Don't say that data is not important. In fact, to a large extent, data is the most important.

That is to say, Wang Hao doesn't know about this, otherwise, he would definitely say that this is very familiar.

He also did this in the original time and space.

If he missed the live broadcast of the Mosaic game, he would definitely learn about the game through newspapers or online.

Take a look, see if the mosaic is winning or losing, and then analyze it.

Was it because of Yao Ming's wonderful performance that led the team to win, or was it because of the incompetence of his teammates that led to the loss?

"Hold the grass, it's amazing!"

43 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, a super triple-double performance.

According to what the newspaper said, it was Wang Hao who fought against the OK group alone and won.

Well, this is purely about data performance.

Chang Rui actually has some understanding of the OK group, O'Neal and Kobe.

Very powerful!

Having won the championship for two consecutive years and eliminated the SuperSonics for two consecutive years, such an opponent is naturally very powerful.

Chang Rui quickly took a look at the Lakers' performance and suddenly discovered that the OK team actually performed well.

O'Neal had 30 points and 13 rebounds, but he shot 12 of 25 from the field and 6 of 13 free throws.

This efficiency may be considered a pretty good scoring efficiency for others.

However, for O'Neal, it is far below his average level.

As for the reason, it's naturally because he was beaten hard many times by the SuperSonics.

Kobe shot 11 of 26 from the field, a 42% shooting percentage, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws.

In the whole game, he scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

I have to say that Kobe and O'Neal are really good. They can defeat most teams just relying on their personal strength.

It's just that blindly falling into singles is very bad for the team.

"This is an OK combination, but it's a pity that compared to our Brother Hao, it's still a little behind!"

After reading the newspaper on the bus, Chang Rui couldn't wait to share it with a few friends.

It would be really uncomfortable if there is no one to share or chat with about this kind of thing.

In such a huge China, there are actually many people like Chang Rui. They like basketball and silently support Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn't know Chang Rui, but he also knew that there were a lot of fans in China supporting him.

No, in another interview with CCTV, Wang Hao said a lot of words of thanks.

Coming from a fan himself, he really understands how fans entertain themselves.

It would be very sad to meet an idol who doesn't take yourself seriously.

Don’t think it’s impossible, in fact there are many.

Through Zhang Weiping, Wang Hao also learned that the national team and Wang Zhizhi had completely solved the problem.

In other words, as long as we meet and have a good chat about this kind of thing, and both sides compromise, it's totally fine.

In fact, Wang Zhizhi and the national team applied to stay in the United States to play in the summer league, and then reported back to the national team.

The summer league will end at the end of June. By then, Wang Zhizhi will have time to devote to the training of the national team.

Not to mention others, it seems that Wang Hao will not be able to enter the national team training until the end of June.

After all, the SuperSonics, which had just won the Battle of Tianwangshan and led 3:2, already had match point.

Of course, it's just that their chances are greater, not 100%.

The Lakers also went all out and blocked the team directly at the end of the last game.

Neither Kobe Bryant nor O'Neal attended the press conference, but Phil Jackson attended with several veteran players.

They even did Tai Chi in various ways in response to the questions raised by the media.

The failure to make big news made many media angry, and some media have already complained to NBA officials.

However, even if they are punished by NBA officials, the Lakers will not compromise at this time.
