The players are extremely attractive, which is why the Lakers have never lacked superstars, and their achievements also make them the best team in NBA history. Although they are one championship behind the Celtics in terms of the number of championships, as we all know, more than half of the Celtics' championships were won before the NBA and ABA merger.

Although the pre-merger champions were true champions and would not lose points for this, it is undeniable that when the two great basketball leagues were running in parallel, both sides had a certain number of stars, which led to a reduction in the competitiveness of the league itself.

After the merger was completed, the NBA expanded to 22 teams and attracted many outstanding players from the ABA, which increased the competitiveness of the league. There has never been such an exaggeratedly monopolized team as the Celtics' nine consecutive championships.

When competitiveness improved, signings and team reinforcements naturally became the key to winning. At this point, the geographical gap between the Celtics and Lakers became evident.

After the 1960s, although the Celtics, as a traditional giant, still won multiple championships and maintained their dominance in the league, the Lakers began to significantly surpass them in the number of championships they won.

Of course, the Celtics relied on their solid championship experience and the weak initial competitiveness of the league. The Lakers did not rely much on the attraction of the great city of Los Angeles. As great as the famous City of Angels is, it still lags behind the world capital of entertainment.

For now, the Celtics failed to assemble the Big Three to win the championship in 2007 due to Wang Chong. Although with Durant, the strength of the team is clearly strengthening step by step, it is the second-best team in the league. Compared to the Bulls and Lakers, they are naturally far behind.

The attraction of Los Angeles is undeniable. After searching the free agent market, they really caught a big fish.

On July 5, the Lakers officially announced that Kidd would join the Los Angeles Lakers with a three-year, $24 million contract.

21 million over three years, averaging 7 million per year. Although Kidd was 35 years old in 2009, the outside world considered this contract to be high quality and low price.

Kidd played 81 games with the Mavericks last season, averaging 9 points, 6 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 2 steals per game. His level is still that of a first-line point guard in the league.

Offensive scoring has never been Kidd's strong point. His most powerful weapon on the court is his rich game experience, his organizational and supporting capabilities that are not inferior to Nash's, and his superior perimeter defense skills.

Despite being very old, even two years later, he could still serve as the team's starting point guard and help the Mavericks defeat the unbeatable Heat Big Three.

It can be said that the Lakers' introduction of Kidd is very clear. On the one hand, they want to use Kidd to limit Billups' performance. During the finals, Billups was almost tortured to death, like an adult beating a child, but if it were Kidd, Billups wouldn't be as effective.

After signing Kidd, the Lakers immediately renewed Bynum's contract. Although this would raise the Lakers' salary for the new season to $95 million, which is ridiculously high and requires a hefty luxury tax penalty, it formed a rather exaggerated lineup.

The starting five are Kidd, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, and Bynum.

There are also players like Odom, Fisher, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar, and others on the bench.

It is obvious that the Lakers, who have lost in the Finals for two consecutive years, are not willing to suffer consecutive defeats and are preparing to continue the showdown with the Bulls next season.

Seeing the Bulls and Lakers making big moves, James of the Cavaliers looked on eagerly but could only watch with envy.

Unlike the strategies of the Bulls and the big spending of the Lakers, the Cavaliers do not have the foresight advantage of a time traveler like Wang Chong, nor do they have the brilliant and bustling big city of Los Angeles. It is extremely difficult to introduce capable players in the offseason.

Moreover, James + O'Neal + Ray Allen have completely occupied the Cavaliers' salary cap space, leaving no room to sign other players.

What makes things even more desperate is that in the new season, O'Neal will be a year older and about to turn 37. The Cavaliers can only rely on James and Ray Allen, and much less so against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference. It's even possible that the new emerging Magic team might not win with certainty.

——While all the teams in the league are in full swing to strengthen their rosters, Wang Chong has already started his own vacation plan.

Although he still has the task of training intensely this offseason, proper relaxation during the holidays is also necessary.

He accompanied his girlfriend Jessica Alba for the premiere of Transformers 2 for the first time.

Transformers 2 premiered in late June 2009. With the success of the previous movie, the second sequel attracted much attention.

Wang Chong did not participate in the production investment of Transformers 2 because he invested all his money in Avatar.

Although the producers were clearly aware that Transformers 2 would definitely make money, they were unwilling to take a portion of the pie from Wang Chong, a personal investor.

Of course, with Avatar as a source of income, Wang Chong himself could not see the hundreds of millions in box office revenue from Transformers 2.

But still, Wang Chong was qualified to attend the premiere of Transformers 2. On the one hand, his girlfriend Jessica Alba is the star of this movie, and on the other hand, director Michael Bay, who worked on the first film, had asked Wang Chong for advice more than once when facing problems during the filming process.

Wang Chong didn't hide his awkwardness and gave some suggestions based on the original details of Transformers 2. As a result, Michael Bay continued to add Wang Chong's name in the screenwriter column of Transformers 2, and he was barely considered one of the producers of this movie.

A basketball star becoming a screenwriter. This sounds a bit magical. However, after the release of Transformers 2, although the outside world didn't have a good opinion of the film, the box office sales were really good and topped the charts in North America two days after its release. The weekly box office soared.

The sexy and beautiful Jessica Alba became popular again throughout the United States and even the world with her role as the heroine of the movie.

Although the role Wang Chong chose for Jessica was a vase character with little acting skills, it was actually very suitable for Jessica Alba. She is not particularly talented in acting but is very talented in looks and figure, making her very active in Hollywood.

Being able to create a screen goddess with his own hands was also a bit of a bad taste on Wang Chong's part. For this reason, Wang Chong has already thought about the role Jessica should play next.

The most well-known female character in future commercial movie series is undoubtedly the main female character of the Marvel movie series, Black Widow.

With her role as Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson immediately became one of the highest-paid actresses in the world. Especially her debut in Iron Man 2 was also a famous scene that shocked the world.

When Scarlett Johansson's appearance was at its peak, she had the power to compete with Jessica, but this was limited to her face.

Jessica stands at 1.70 meters and has a curvy figure. In comparison, Scarlett Johansson, who is only 1.60 meters, is slightly inferior.

If Jessica can play the role of Black Widow on screen, she will be Hollywood's most famous national goddess for at least the next ten years, and her value will also rise.

It's just that this role is a bit difficult for Jessica, not in terms of action scenes. Jessica Alba's action skills are definitely not bad. After all, she is an actress who has filmed musicals and can perform difficult dances in front of the camera.

But according to Marvel's setting, Black Widow is white, while Jessica is mixed-race with a slightly darker complexion.

But this is not a big problem in Wang Chong's opinion. So what if Black Widow is played by a Latina beauty? In the future, there will be mermaids who look black. Political correctness is almost becoming flatfish and ruining their prospects.

Moreover, in the movie, makeup and lighting can also be used to make Jessica look even more beautiful. There's no problem with her playing this role.

This movie started filming in the summer of 2009 and was released in 2010. It is currently in the casting process. Jessica has already participated in the audition, and all she has to do now is wait for the news.

Since there were many promotional activities after the movie's premiere, Wang Chong spent a few days with Jessica, and the latter followed the team to various places to participate in the movie's promotional activities.

Wang Chong's next stop was Las Vegas.

The main purpose of his trip to Las Vegas was to watch Curry play.

Curry, who is about to represent the Bulls in the new season, as a rookie, will naturally participate in the summer league held in mid-July.

As a player acquired by the Bulls at a huge cost, Curry has received a lot of attention, and his own selection at number 6 in the first round is also a relatively high pick.

As Wang Chong thought, Curry performed very well in the summer league, averaging 26 points per game and shooting 44% from three-point range. Although this was just a summer league, with a low level and poor intensity of competition, some people may even score super high, like 50+.

While Wang Chong was watching Curry's performance, he also "coincidentally" met a few acquaintances in Las Vegas.

"Hey, King!"

The familiar voice made Wang Chong turn around, and what he saw was Wade's honest smile.

"I didn't expect you to come to Las Vegas to watch the game. It's rare."

It is a very common phenomenon for NBA players to go to Las Vegas every offseason to watch the summer league, and everyone knows that watching the games is just an excuse. They come more for the world's casino city.

This is not surprising at all, including basketball god Michael Jordan and famous celebrity Charles Barkley. After all, they are all multimillionaires or even billionaires with plenty of money to spend.

Wade didn't come alone. He was accompanied by leaders of the 2003 generation like James and Anthony.

However, unlike Wade, who competed in the NCAA with Wang Chong at the same university, James and Anthony didn't have a very good relationship with Wang Chong off the court.

There is no way that Wang Chong, who is in the same position, is always on top of them, causing them a lot of psychological damage every season.

Not to mention, now walking on the street, even the neighbors point at them.

"Look, isn't that James/Anthony? It's been 9002 years, why haven't they won the championship yet? The guy next door, Wang Chong, already won three championships. I heard they didn't respect Wang Chong before. It's really funny!"

Wang Chong smiled and waved to Wade, while also noticing James and Anthony with expressionless faces not far away.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Wang Chong smelled something unusual.

The four Banana Boat brothers will become very well-known names in the league in the future, and their relationship will be quite harmonious.

But it was a bit intriguing that the three came together to Las Vegas during the offseason.

Especially Wang Chong, as a time traveler, is very aware of the major events that will happen in the league in the coming years. The most sensational will undoubtedly be James' decision next summer and the formation of the Heat's Big Three.

Are the Heat's Big Three strong? The answer is undoubtedly two championships in four years. Although this sounds a bit silly, you must know that in the next ten years, apart from the Lakers and the Heat, only one NBA team will win two consecutive championships, those being the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, the Warriors have won three championships in four years, including two consecutive championships.

The Warriors, who also have Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green, and others, are truly stronger than the Heat and even crush them.

But still, Wang Chong doesn't believe his Bulls will lose to the Heat.

First of all, the Heat will need a year to adjust their lineup and shift from the double-core tactical model of James and Wade to the single-core tactical model of James before they can reach the strongest model during the Heat's Big Three era in the 2011-12 season, which was three years later.

In three years, Wang Chong, surrounded by system complements, will inevitably increase his strength to a rather exaggerated level, and the Bulls' players will also improve.

Firstly, Garnett can still maintain a high level of competitiveness, averaging 16+8 per game.

Marc Gasol will also grow and win the DPOY award for Defensive Player of the Year the following year.

What is a bit problematic is the Bulls' defensive line or the two point guards.

Billups no longer has the strength of a first-line point guard in the 2011-12 season, and his injuries have started to accumulate.

As for Curry, the 2011-12 season was also his most disastrous season. To fully heal his ankle injury, Curry opted for surgery that season. He was plagued with injuries during the regular season, playing only 26 games, with 5.3 assists per game, his worst performance in his career.

But Wang Chong is very clear about the injuries that affected Curry's performance, and he clearly remembers the surgery Curry underwent to recover his life. In the following seasons, Curry gradually rose to the top and became the greatest star in history.

In this regard, as long as Wang Chong can give Curry some advice in advance, it should be avoided.

As long as Curry can stay healthy or even play around 70% of his strength, combined with Garnett and Gasol's absolute advantages inside, against the typical counterattacks and fast breaks of the Heat, the interior will be weak. The probability of the team winning the game will be quite high.

Of course, I'm talking about the Heat's Big Three: James, Wade, and Bosh.

If we observe the heated games between James, Wade, and Anthony, it's likely that things will develop in an uncontrollable direction.
