NBA Wolverine

Chapter 435: Five consecutive championships and retirement + Olympics start

"Sanjin, He's Sports' overseas sales are very good. We have signed contracts with 78 shoe factories now, which has surpassed Adidas."

"Online shopping is becoming more and more popular nowadays... By the way, Sanjin, Jingdong has completed its B round of financing of 1000 million US dollars. Boss Liu gave you 32 million yuan. Now you own 18% of Jingdong's shares and % of the voting rights."

"But Boss Liu also said that our funds will not be considered first for the next round of financing."

"The next round will be a big round of financing, so he is very careful."

"This online purchase of three kilograms may affect offline sales in the future. Offline sales are more expensive. I think that strengthening online sales in the future can significantly reduce the investment cost of sales channels."

"okay."

After the Spring Festival, Yang Xue returned to China with her two children before the All-Star Game.

On February 2, the Knicks defeated the Celtics again on the road, completing all the games before the All-Star Game.

48 wins and 4 losses, the best record in the league.

On the 15th, He Zhongqiu came to this year's All-Star host city, New Orleans.

He is the absolute protagonist of this All-Star Game. Even when he is sitting on the sidelines, the live camera will give him a close-up from time to time.

It was March 3rd when Forbes released the 2007 World's Richest List and Mainland China's Richest List.

With assets of US$270 billion, He Zhongqiu ranked ninth on the global billionaire list and also ranked first on the list of mainland China's richest people.

Hong Kong's Li Jiacheng ranks tenth in the world with US$235 billion.

Yang Xue is also on the list, with assets of 140 billion yuan, ranking 29th on the China mainland rich list.

On the 11th, He's Film Company was listed in Shanghai.

The company's valuation before listing was RMB 45 billion, with 45 billion original shares, net assets per share of RMB 1, 15 billion shares issued, and a total share capital of 60 billion shares.

The issue price was RMB 9.5, the opening price was RMB 20.8, the highest price of the day was RMB 33.4, and the closing price was RMB 27.9, a 300% increase from the issue price.

Based on the closing price, the market value of He's Pictures reached RMB 1674 billion, and it raised RMB 137.5 billion through listing.

After He Zhongqiu got the news, he regretted it. He’s martial arts school should have been listed in the domestic market.

Yang Xue, Tang Yan and Bai Bingbing do not directly own shares in He's Pictures. As for He Xue and He Yang, they hold shares in He's Media Group, the parent company of the film company.

Yang Xue owns 21.6% of He's Media shares. After the film company goes public, she indirectly owns 16.2% of the film company's shares, with a market value of RMB 270 billion, which is more than double the market value of the He's Martial Arts School she owns.

The two listed companies have made her net worth exceed 400 billion yuan.

In the just released China Rich List, He Zhongqiu ranked first, Yang Huiyan ranked second with 1211 billion yuan, and the third was the boss of Shimao, with assets of 544 billion yuan. With the listing of the film company, Yang Xue's wealth directly surpassed that of Guo Guangchang, who ranked third.

As for He Zhongqiu, he owns 75% of the shares of He Media Group and indirectly owns 56% of the shares of the film company. His net worth has skyrocketed by 900 billion yuan.

The listing of the film company also created nearly a hundred multi-millionaires, all of whom are managers and celebrity artists who subscribed for shares within the group and the film company.

In mid-March, Yang Xue brought He Xue and He Yang to the United States again.

The two little ones are almost one year old now and are very eloquent. When they saw He Zhongqiu, they called out "Dad" loudly.

On the 22nd, I celebrated the first birthday of my two children at home. No guests were invited, just my family.

Three days later, the 08 Olympic flame lighting ceremony was completed in Greece. From that day on, the Beijing Olympic flame relay officially began.

On April 4, the Olympic flame arrived in Beijing, and then the global torch relay began.

On April 2008, 4, the Knicks ended the regular season.

A record of 75 wins and 7 losses, the first in history.

The Celtics, with 66 wins, are second in the Eastern Conference and second in the league.

First in the Western Conference is the Lakers with 60 wins, third in the league.

贺中秋出战82场，场均41分钟，场均43分16篮板2.5助攻1.9抢断5.5盖帽1.2失误2.5犯规。

His shooting percentage was 65% and his free throw shooting percentage was 92%. He also won the scoring title, rebounding title, blocked shot title, and DPOY titles.

This season, he has been at the top of the MVP rankings and is unshakable.

The top eight teams in the Eastern Conference regular season are the Knicks, Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Raptors, and 76ers.

The Celtics and Knicks are in the same Atlantic Division and automatically ranked fourth in the playoffs. The Pistons were ranked second and the Magic were ranked third.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs will see the Knicks vs. 76ers, the Pistons vs. Raptors, the Magic vs. Wizards, and the Celtics vs. Cavaliers.

After the Knicks advance to the second round, they will face the winner between the Celtics and the Cavaliers.

In other words, the first and second place teams in the league's regular season will meet in the second round of the Eastern Conference.

The top eight teams in the Western Conference regular season are the Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Suns, Mavericks, Rockets, and Nuggets.

The Hornets and Spurs are in the same division. The Spurs ranked fourth in the playoffs from third in the regular season, and the Northwest Division champion Jazz ranked third in the playoffs.

The first round matchups in the Western Conference are the Lakers vs. Nuggets, Hornets vs. Rockets, Jazz vs. Mavericks, and Spurs vs. Suns.

There were a lot of things going on in the country, so as planned, Yang Xue took the children and left the United States before the start of the playoffs.

The first round will start on April 4th.

The Knicks beat the 76ers and easily completed a sweep.

In addition, the Pistons also swept the Raptors.

The Magic eliminated the Wizards 4-1.

The first round match between the Celtics and the Cavaliers went to a Game 7, and the Celtics eventually won the Game 7 and made it to the second round with difficulty.

In the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks will face the Celtics and the Pistons will face the Magic.

In the West, the Lakers played against the Nuggets, with the Kobe-Yao combination facing the Nuggets' golden duo and also completing a sweep.

The Hornets eliminated the Rockets 4-1, the Jazz swept the Mavericks, and the Spurs eliminated the Suns 4-1.

In the second round of the Western Conference, the Lakers will face the Spurs, and the Hornets will face the Jazz.

In the regular season, the Knicks had three wins and one loss against the Celtics, having an absolute advantage. Before the second round, the media was almost one-sided.

The second round begins on May 5th.

That morning, He Zhongqiu won his fifth regular season MVP and the fifth consecutive time he won this honor, making league history.

In the second round G1 game, He Zhongqiu broke out with all his strength, scoring 63 points, 22 rebounds and 13 blocks, leading the team to a huge victory over the Celtics.

He prevented Garnett from making just 14 of 2 shots, blocked the Wolf King 6 times, slapped Pierce 3 times, and slapped Ray Allen twice.

The confidence of the Celtics' Big Three was completely shattered by He Zhongqiu in Game 1, and they struggled in the following series.

Just like that, the much anticipated Big Three were swept out by He Zhongqiu's team.

On the evening of the 11th, after eliminating the Celtics, the Knicks returned to the hotel. At 12: in the evening, they were suddenly awakened by a phone call. It was a call from Yang Xue.

"At this time, it's about 1:00 p.m. in China. What happened?"

He quickly answered the phone and asked, "Sister Xue, what's going on?"

"Sanjin, there's an earthquake." Yang Xue's tone was very urgent.

"Earthquake? Are you okay?" He Zhongqiu was also anxious.

"No..." Yang Xue quickly explained.

"Big earthquake?"

He Zhongqiu was shocked. With such a large scale, and it being a Monday afternoon, the casualties would surely be huge.

"Sister Xue, please keep an eye on this and let me know if there's any progress. If we're making donations, let's give more this time."

"Okay, then you take a rest."

After hanging up the phone, He Zhongqiu was no longer sleepy. He got up, turned on the computer and checked the information.

The next day, the news of the earthquake had spread throughout the world and the earthquake magnitude was revised to 8.

Subsequently, one tragic news after another came out, and the death toll rose every hour.

On the 13th, Yang Xue donated 1 million yuan and He Zhongqiu donated 10 billion yuan.

The He Group announced a donation of RMB 5 million, and its employees jointly donated RMB 4562 million.

This money will be raised as quickly as possible in the form of supplies and then shipped to the disaster area.

On the 14th, the Knicks announced a donation of 1000 million US dollars and James Dolan donated 500 million US dollars.

Under the call and influence of He Zhongqiu, donations from the sports community and Hollywood amounted to 6253 million US dollars.

Although the disaster has occurred, the NBA playoffs continue.

In another group in the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Pistons eliminated the Magic 4-1.

In the West, the Lakers and the Spurs, the two enemies, met, but it did not turn out to be a situation of a dragon and a tiger fighting each other. Kobe and Yao Ming showed their strength and almost swept the Spurs, and finally eliminated the Spurs 4 to 1.

The Hornets and the Jazz entered a seventh game, and the Jazz eventually advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Eastern Conference Finals, Knicks vs. Pistons.

Western Conference Finals, Lakers vs. Jazz.

The Knicks had an easier time against the Pistons than against the Celtics, completing another sweep and advancing to the finals.

The Lakers were in a passive position when playing against the Jazz.

Yao Ming still couldn't return to defense quickly on the defensive end, and was somewhat passive in defending Boozer and Okur.

The Lakers lost the first game at home, but played well in Game 2 and tied the game -.

In the away game, Keyon showed his strength and won Game 3, but lost Game 4.

Back at home, Yao Ming's three-point shooting was in full swing, making 9 of 6 shots and scoring 38 points. Kobe also scored 28 points. The Lakers won the crucial Game 5 and earned the match point.

In Game 6, the Lakers played away. Kobe played like crazy, scoring 48 points. Yao Ming scored 25 points and 6 blocks, leading the team to eliminate the Jazz - and advance to the finals.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, here we come." After the game, Yao Ming excitedly called to congratulate him on Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Congratulations to you, runner-up." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"What the hell!"

Yao Ming just laughed and cursed. Although he was depressed, he knew it was very likely that he would be the runner-up.

Therefore, Yao Ming is one of the few people who hopes that He Zhongqiu will leave the NBA. If He Zhongqiu continues to play in the league, he will never win a championship in his life.

On June 6st, Congratulations to the King was released.

He Zhongqiu flew to Los Angeles to attend the premiere. It was a grand event and Disney and Marvel invited many big-name stars.

On June 6, the Lakers arrived in New York.

He Zhongqiu did not invite Dayao to his home. Tang Yan's belly was a little big and she had not been to school for a long time. He didn't want anyone to know that Tang Yan was pregnant.

On the 5th, the finals will begin.

On the 11th, the finals ended. The Knicks won the championship with a perfect record, just like last year, completing the feat of winning five consecutive championships.

After the Game 4, He Zhongqiu bid farewell to the Knicks, the NBA, and announced the end of his NBA career.

His retirement brought relief to all NBA stars and teams aspiring to win the championship.

Next, he did not join the Knicks' celebratory tour, but instead set off for home. At noon on June 6, he boarded a chartered flight to Hong Kong.

At this time, a month had passed since the earthquake.

Tang Yan has been pregnant for five months with a boy. She is staying in a private obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Hong Kong to wait for the birth of the child and has hired several people to take care of her.

Tang's mother also took leave to go to Hong Kong to take care of her daughter.

Using the name of He’s Security Company, He Zhongqiu had previously spent several million dollars to buy a luxury mansion in Mid-Levels in Hong Kong to facilitate his stay in Hong Kong.

On the 13th, He Zhongqiu flew to Greece to prepare for the IAAF Grand Prix on the 16th.

But he only signed up for the high jump event, and his goal was of course the Olympic A standard.

His current high jump level is 85, his best result in training is 2.40 meters, and the Olympic A standard is 2.3 meters.

After successfully getting the A mark with a score of 2.33 meters in the Grand Prix in Athens, he rushed back to Yanjing and devoted all his energy to track and field training.

From October last year to now, for more than seven months, in addition to training for NBA games, track and field training has been ongoing, and the levels of the six events have been improved.

100 meters level 93, 200 meters level 91, 400 meters level 91, long jump level 95, triple jump level 92, and the main high jump reached level 86.

Next, for another month and a half, he focused on training three events: high jump, 100 meters, and 200 meters.

There are no strong people in the world in the 400m, long jump and triple jump events. With his current level, he has a great chance of winning the championship. In the long jump, he is basically a guaranteed champion. In the 100m event, Bolt ran 5 seconds in a race on May 3 with a tailwind of 1.8 meters per second.

On May 5, he ran another good time of 31 seconds, and he has a good chance of breaking his world record of 9.72 seconds.

Bolt will be his strong rival in the 100m event at the Yanjing Olympics.

In the 200 meters, I'm afraid Bolt will also be his strong rival.

As for Powell and Tyson Gay, they are not real rivals for the time being.

His training goal over the past month is to raise his high jump to level 90, his 100 meters to level 95, and his 200 meters to two or three levels.

The time is a bit tight, but it is still possible to complete it by just doing track and field training.

In order not to be disturbed by fans and the media, he arranged closed training and carried out intensive training for one and a half months.

As August came, on the evening of the 5th, He Zhongqiu completed 50 days of closed training. He achieved level 100 in 95 meters, level 200 in 93 meters, and level 90 in high jump, completing the training goals for all three events.

In addition, after one season and these two months, a total of nine months of training, his explosive power has increased by 4 levels and is now level 125. His nerve reaction speed is level 98, an increase of 3 levels. Now his physical fitness is stronger than last year.

When he walked out of the training base, Li Hong and a photographer were waiting for him.

At this time, BJ has entered the rhythm of the Olympics. The streets and alleys are filled with the atmosphere of the Olympics, which is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The Olympic Village opened on July 7, and the Chinese delegation was the first delegation to move in. He Zhongqiu missed the opening and move-in due to closed training.

Many foreign Olympic representatives have already checked into the Olympic Village. By the 28th, in just two days, 5000 Olympic members had arrived in Beijing.

This Olympic Games will be attended by 204 countries and regions, 11438 athletes, 28 major events and 302 minor events, and more than journalists will participate in the coverage.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have been practicing in seclusion for 50 days. How are the results?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

"Not bad, there's no problem winning the gold medal in the high jump." He Zhongqiu said casually.

"Wow!"

Li Hong didn't expect to get such a powerful answer and was very happy.

"Hey, Li Hong, are you only responsible for my track and field events this time, or are you responsible for the basketball events as well?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"I am responsible for all your projects." said Li Hong.

After the interview, He Zhongqiu returned to Qiuxue Building first.

"Dad, dad..."

When she saw him, He Xue ran over happily.

"Eh!"

He Zhongqiu picked up He Xue, and then picked up He Yang who was running behind him.

The two children are almost one and a half years old. They have endless energy and love to play around. It is very tiring for four nannies to take care of them.

"Where's Mom?" he asked.

"Here it is." Yang Xue came over.

"Sanjin, do you want to sleep at home tonight or go to the Olympic Village?" she asked.

"The Olympic flame will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. I will go to the Olympic Village to check in first, and then look for Director Zhang," he said.

He is the last torchbearer and the person to light the flame at the opening ceremony on the 8th. He needs to practice how to light the flame and check with Director Zhang first.

"By the way, Ross Lewis called this morning and said that The King of Heroes has been taken off the screen and will be released for 85 days." Yang Xue said.

“How much is the box office?”

He only knew that the box office was very hot in the early stage, but after 50 days of closed-door training, he didn't know the specific requirements for the future.

"20.5 billion, the first global movie to break the 20 billion US dollar box office, surpassing Titanic's 18 billion US dollars." Yang Xue said happily.

"I don't have much money on hand now. How much can I get?" He Zhongqiu asked with a smile.

Yang Xue said, "Where is the money? The royalties for the third issue of the comic have arrived, totaling 1.5 million US dollars. The fourth issue will be out soon."

"Not bad, the second issue has two characters for 1.6 million, right?"

"Yes, 1.6 million."

"Hey, King He, your share will first be 3% of the global box office share, then your salary will account for 20% of the global box office share, plus the company's investment will account for 30% of the global box office share. After deducting the cost, your personal share of this film will be at least 3 million US dollars. After deducting the investment cost, the company will have a profit of million."

"not bad."

"You now have $3 million in cash on hand, and another $1.5 million in investment funds, all of which are available."

"It will probably take three to six months to settle the box office revenue of King He, and the revenue from peripheral products in the later period should also be good."

After having dinner at home, He Zhongqiu packed his suitcase and went to the Olympic Village.

At this time, Li Hong reported the news that He Zhongqiu had a chance to win the gold medal in the high jump.

Before reporting, she also informed Luo Chaoyi, director of the Track and Field Center.

There are seven projects in total. He Zhongqiu is in charge of the men's basketball team. Because this is a team project, there has been no time for joint practice, so we need to find some time to communicate.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, you are finally here."

"Haha, I definitely have to come!"

Seeing him coming, team leader Xin Lancheng, director of the Basketball Management Center Li Yuanwei, and head coach Jonas all breathed a sigh of relief.

Jonas is under a lot of pressure because the task is to defend the Olympic title, which would be an impossible task without Wolverine.

He knew that He Zhongqiu would definitely come, but he didn't feel relieved until he saw He Zhongqiu.

"Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hearing the sound, Dayao in the room came out, followed by the others.

He Zhongqiu had a separate room, which was specially arranged for him because they knew he had to practice martial arts every day. Everyone else had a double room.

"Zhongqiu, this dream team is very strong. Can we beat it?" Li Yuanwei asked eagerly when he came to He Zhongqiu's room.

"Director Li, I am responsible for offense and defense in the restricted area, and Yao Ming is responsible for support and offense on the outside. These two points of ours are a crushing advantage for the American team."

"Even though the U.S. team has a crushing advantage in the other three positions, my efficiency under the basket is something they can't match."

"At the same time, I can limit their breakthroughs and attacks in the penalty area and reduce their offensive efficiency."

"So don't worry, no matter how strong the US team is, I can easily beat them in the NBA and the same goes for the Olympics."

If it were someone else, Li Yuanwei and his companions would not have believed it, but they believed He Zhongqiu's words because it was He Zhongqiu who said it.

He Zhongqiu chatted with teammates including Yao Ming for a while and also met Sun Le.

Sun Le was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 07 draft, but was not signed.

"Don't the Lakers plan to sign him?" he asked Yao Ming.

"I'm not sure either," said Dayao.

Sun Le smiled and said: "The Lakers have informed me that they will sign the contract after the Olympics."

"Congratulations. Now that you're with the Lakers, you must work hard in training. Kobe doesn't like people who don't work hard." He Zhongqiu gave some encouragement.

After reporting to the basketball team, he went to report to the track and field team and chatted with them for a while.

Luo Chaoyi pulled him aside and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the higher-ups estimated gold medals for your 100m, 400m, and long jump events. They are not gold medal points, but gold medals."

"Bolt's time has improved so much this year. Now he has reached 9.72 seconds, which is close to your result." There was obvious worry on Feng Shuyong's face.

During the 50 days of He Zhongqiu's closed training, his personal team was in charge. The Athletics Center did not follow up, so we were not aware of his training situation.

"He does have the ability to challenge my record now, but I still have confidence," He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"Just have confidence."

Luo Chaoyi nodded and said, "200 meters, triple jump. With your current strength, we have high hopes for you. It can be considered a gold medal. At least you can't miss out on a medal."

He Zhongqiu said: "The main opponent in the 200m is also Bolt. For the triple jump, breaking the world record depends on performance and winning the gold medal.
"Zhongqiu, the news about Li Hong's interview with you was just broadcast. She said you can win gold in high jump?" Feng Shuyong asked with anticipation.

He Zhongqiu said casually: "The technique is pretty good, barely world-class. If you can perform normally at 18 meters, there should be no problem as long as you don't make mistakes."

"Great!"

"Now no one in the world can reach 18 meters in the triple jump. This gold medal is ours."

"Director Luo, please report this to the higher-ups. We have won another gold medal in track and field."

Several leaders of the track and field center suddenly became excited.

I chatted with the track and field team for an hour, and before I left, Director Zhang called me.

"Zhongqiu, is your closed training over?"

"Oh yeah, I just finished and was about to go look for you."

"Okay, come over here quickly, and we'll rehearse a few times tonight."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

After He Zhongqiu hung up the phone, he left the Olympic Village and rushed to the National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest. The Bird's Nest is very close to the Olympic Village, about one kilometer away, and both are in the Olympic Park.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, come here, let me tell you..."

After meeting, Director Zhang didn't even have time to exchange greetings and went straight to introducing the method of lighting the fire to He Zhongqiu.

Director Zhang said with regret: "The previous Phoenix Returns to the Nest ignition method was leaked by South Korea's national media. I racked my brains to re-conceive the ignition method, but I don't know if it will work well."

He Zhongqiu said, "Director Zhang, you should learn from me and kick out the shameless Koreans during rehearsal. These guys have no bottom line."

"Ugh!"

Director Zhang shook his head and sighed again.

Next, He Zhongqiu rehearsed three times. As a martial arts actor and martial arts master, he was very good at it, and all three times were successful.

Director Zhang was afraid that he was not yet proficient, so he rehearsed him twice more before letting him go.

Next to Director Zhang, he saw Li Hong’s younger brother Li Jun. Art rehearsals and performances require a large number of photographers, and Li Jun is one of them.

The next day, August 8, the Olympic torch finally reached BJ City after traveling 6 kilometers and 13.7 days.

He Zhongqiu still trains, but the intensity is much reduced.

He was practicing his sprint cornering technique, hoping to improve the level of these two events before the 200m and 400m finals.

He wants to break the world record in both events.

Although his high jump was only at level 90, this level of technique was enough to bring out his jumping ability.

His best result in training has long exceeded the world record of 2.45 meters. Currently, no athlete in the world is close to this record. He does not need to train anymore for the time being. There is no suspense about his winning the championship with his strength.

The triple jump should be the one with the lowest ceiling among the six track and field events. Compared with other long jump athletes, his tonnage is really too large, and he is at a disadvantage in continuous jumps.

The first event he started was basketball. He played his first group match on the 10th, and the first game was against the US team.

The Chinese team is in Group B, along with the United States, Spain, Angola, Germany and Greece.

Group A is Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia and Croatia.

The top four teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals, and the bottom two teams are eliminated directly without playing any matches to determine their rankings.

The track and field competition will not start until the 15th, and before that, there will be three basketball group matches to be played.

The Olympic Games started on the 6th. There were football group matches in the first two days, and other events officially started on the 9th. There were no matches on the 8th, only the opening ceremony.

During the day on the 8th, He Zhongqiu and the men's basketball team conducted tactical training. The training ended at pm, and they went to the Olympic Village for dinner, and then went to the Bird's Nest National Stadium with the delegation.

He was the flag bearer in the last Olympics and he is still the flag bearer in this Olympics.

This is not surprising. Liu Yudong served as the flag bearer for two consecutive times in the 96 and 2000 Olympic Games.

If he participates in the next Olympics, he might still be the flag bearer (Yao Yao: What about me?).

At around seven o'clock, Yang Xue and Bai Bingbing brought two children with diapers, as well as Cheng Long, Wu Jing and a large group of people to the west stand of the Bird's Nest.

To the west is the rostrum, which is the best location as it can avoid the western sun. The rostrum is right below them.

"Xiaoxue, Yangyang, stop making noise, or I'll arrest you."

Yang Xue pointed at the guards in suits below and used a warning tone to scare the two restless diapers.

But her threats had no effect. The more crowded the place was, the more excited the two energetic little guys became.

(End of this chapter)
