Chapter 1: Did you choose the idol?
"I've told you hundreds of times that in this world, you can always trust that Arsenal and Chris Paul will never let you down."
"[If you don't understand, just ask, should Kendall Jenner go to the NBA to be a general manager, because it seems that her vision is better than most of the NBA general managers.] Well, in a sense, yes. ”
"[How do you evaluate the NBA awarding Embiid the regular season MVP?] Hey, isn't it because you guys keep saying that Joel Embiid is the worst two-time MVP in the history of the NBA? So the league decided to let you see, What is the worst regular season MVP? "
"[If you become the emperor and can only pick one player from the NBA to help you manage the East Factory Supervisor, who would you choose?] Hey, I was wondering why there is a historical issue in the basketball section. Du haters, it's over!"
"[Why do people become so attached to someone when criticizing him? For example, I can't sleep well right now when I think that it's only a matter of time before James retires.] So, you haters, watch and cherish the NBA. Without James, the fun of watching the NBA will be at least half gone!"
Sitting in front of the computer, after typing away frantically at the speed of a man who had been single for twenty years, Wang Shuo suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, loneliness and coldness.
Uh, don’t get me wrong, because shortly after waking up this morning, Wang Shuo had already rewarded himself.
So at this moment, the reason why he felt empty, lonely and cold was purely because after another season of the NBA, Wang Shuo felt that the coaches in today's NBA were really ridiculously incompetent.
Look at Spoelstra. He has the cards in his hand this year to shake up the Eastern Conference. But the teams that were tied to the dog crowns have fallen off the chain one after another.
Don’t exaggerate or slander, okay!
If Wang Shuo could go to the NBA to be a coach, even if he was leading the Wizards who only had Jordan in his later years, he could win the championship!
Don’t ask, the answer is that even though he is very ordinary, Wang Shuo is so confident.
“No way, is this broken computer infected again?” In front of the computer, after visualizing himself coaching in the NBA, Wang Shuo discovered that his computer, which was billions of years old, had broken down again.
Gotta, it seems like I'll have to go to the second-hand market in a couple of days to buy some "junk" to update this broken computer.
There is no way. Wang Shuo, who has been an orphan since childhood, does not have a high-end source of income such as pocket money like most of his peers. So after going through all the hardships, Wang Shuo has already developed the habit of saving as much as possible.
As the saying goes, when in doubt, just restart. After fiddling with the computer for a few minutes, Wang Shuo discovered that the most important reason why past life experience is experience is that in human daily life, past life experience can indeed solve most problems.
However, this time, after restarting the computer, Wang Shuo did not see the picture he was expecting.
Suddenly, what Wang Shuo saw was a row of text that was older than his computer, instead of the Windows welcome interface.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly... live?"
Well, now Wang Shuo can be sure and certain that his broken computer was definitely hacked when he was browsing a certain "learning website".
At this moment, the world was spinning, and Wang Shuo didn't even have time to react. He felt dizzy and nauseous, and lost consciousness instantly.
…
May 2001, Washington, USA.
Although there will be considerable controversy in the future about when Michael Jordan will decide to make his second comeback, many people believe that Jordan's decision to make a comeback this year is related to the "small incident" that the United States is about to encounter this year.
But in fact, as early as April 2000, news about Michael Jordan's upcoming comeback had already been emerging.
As we all know, in January 2000, Michael Jordan officially became a minority shareholder of the NBA Washington Wizards.
Then, the Wizards had a bad record, and friends around Jordan repeatedly revealed that Jordan wished he could play himself.
In addition, since the NBA does not allow players to hold shares in a team at the same time, Michael Jordan had already sold his Wizards shares long before the United States experienced that "little change."
So the question is, if the Mustache and Stalin signed the Non-Aggression Pact before World War II, it was because they had no regard for Poland at all.
So why did Michael Jordan choose to sell Wizards stock and start preparing for training camp in the summer of 2001?
The answer is obvious. Because of the Wizards' poor performance in the 00/01 season, and the American media's crazy promotion of various "Jordan successor theories" at that time, after retiring in 1998, three years later, various reasons prompted Jordan to decide to come back in 2001.
As for the "little incident" that happened to the United States itself?
Although afterwards, that "little incident" did become one of the reasons for Jordan's comeback...
But in fact, the main reason why Jordan did not announce his comeback until September of that year was because after the training camp started in June 2001, a young man who had not yet changed his name to "Metta World Peace" broke the ribs of Jordan's team owner due to a disagreement.
Therefore, Jordan didn't officially announce his comeback until September 25, 2001.
In a sense, this coincidence was deliberately magnified by the American media and the NBA.
After all, the "Beautiful Country" at that time really needed this kind of positive energy.
As an idol in the minds of many young Americans in the 1990s, and also the basketball player who truly made the NBA and American basketball popular, Jordan's current status in the American sports world is unquestionable.
But if you insist that Jordan decided to make a comeback in order to encourage the American people after that "little incident", that is unnecessary.
Because whether you are a fan or a hater of Michael Jordan, they all know Michael Jordan's character very well.
Wake up, this "God of Basketball" with superb basketball skills has never been a person of noble character.
In fact, just talking about his character, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a scumbag.
Moreover, one thing is certain: before Jordan decided to come back, David Stern, the helmsman of the NBA at the time, already knew the inside information.
Because as a gift for Jordan's comeback, as early as May 2001, the NBA had "fairly, openly, impartially and accurately" awarded the 2001 No. 1 pick to the Wizards.
ha?
You said the Wizards drew the No. 1 pick on their own merits?
Hey, doesn't the Champions League also say that its draws are always 'fair, just and open'?
Of course, in the following historical line, Jordan did prove that the Wizards did not need this No. 1 pick to play.
Because anyone with a little basketball knowledge knows that if you give Jordan the No. 1 pick, it's like giving it away for free.
In the future, history will prove countless times how bad Michael Jordan's vision was after he retired in 1998.
In addition, the future will prove countless times that the emotional intelligence of Bulls Joe, Wizards Joe, and team owner Joe cannot be generalized.
After all, people will change with changes in identity and status, as well as the influence of a series of reasons.
In short, in May of this year, Jordan did begin to prepare for his comeback.
It’s just that the historical line underwent a few small changes in May of this year.
Due to personal health reasons, Doug Collins, who was originally going to accept Jordan's invitation to become the Wizards head coach in the new season, rejected Jordan's kindness.
As his former mentor, after Collins had no chance to work with him again, Michael Jordan, who has always been "keen-eyed" and "good at identifying people", shocked the management led by Wizards legend Unseld with his final choice.
There's nothing we can do about it, after all he's Michael Jordan.
So, he can be willful.
…

"Basketball God Michael Jordan is planning his comeback. After his former mentor Doug Collins declined his invitation due to health reasons, he picked you out of the crowd even though you have little experience and only coached in American universities.
[Idol, did you choose?] The series of tasks is now open.
Please try to win the favor of gotta Michael Jordan before July 1, 2001, otherwise, you will most likely be fired early.

Warm reminder: Team chemistry affects the stability of the locker room of the team you coach. Too low team chemistry is likely to lead to a series of negative penalties.
Tip 2: All properties of this system are completed through big data analysis, which is a comprehensive data consideration obtained through countless experiments and tests, but the reality is still highly uncontrollable. Therefore, this system can only serve as an auxiliary function for the host to coach. "
If there was anything Wang Shuo wanted to say after he regained consciousness...
It must be: MMP.
Not a bit of defense.
He wasn't even given any room to think.
He completed this "time travel" almost as if it were a child's play.
Yes, he traveled through time.
In addition to the unfamiliar scene that appeared in his eyes after he gradually regained consciousness, the voice called Basketball Coaching Assistant System (BCAS) in his mind, and the system interface that appeared in front of him like a holographic projection, all confirmed the fact that he had completed the time travel as written in the novel and got the system.
Moreover, a few seconds later, he also gotta get the relevant identity memory prepared for him by the system in this life.
Therefore, at this moment, although it felt incredible, Wang Shuo had not gotta accept the fact that he was staying in a star-rated hotel in the capital of the "Beautiful Country".
and......
It was also the capital of the "Beautiful Country" on May 1, 2001.
In addition, after the memory that was like an epiphany flooded into his mind, Wang Shuo immediately and accurately locked onto the word "orphan" in his memory of this life.
gotta......
My parents died early in my previous life, and they died early in this life as well.
As for other memories and the relevant information given to him by the system...
I'm sorry, although I'm always confident, Wang Shuo is still a human being after all.
Therefore, how could he possibly digest such a huge amount of information provided by the memory and system in the first place?
But there was one thing that quickly caught Wang Shuo's attention.
"You mean, I am now the head coach of the NBA Washington Wizards?" Wang Shuo asked in surprise, looking at the holographic projection in the void, wondering whether this system was smart enough and whether it would answer him.
“For now, yes.
Please complete the [Idol, did you choose it] series of tasks as soon as possible to ensure that you will not be fired early. "
After about a few seconds, an artificial intelligence synthesized voice came.
Don't getta not tell.
Even Wang Shuo, who was used to seeing novel protagonists destroying everything in a second, couldn't help but take a breath at this moment.
The power of the system is truly terrifying!
Although it will take some time for Wang Shuo to adapt, after all, all this is too bizarre and difficult to understand, but as the saying goes, when in doubt, quantum mechanics is the answer.
In short.
Now I have traveled through time.
In addition to becoming the NBA head coach he had always dreamed of in his previous life, he will also coach his favorite basketball player (only the skills part) in his previous life, Michael Jordan.
Although it was just the late-life Wizard Joe.
But at this moment, Wang Shuo almost instantly felt the blood in his body begin to boil.
So, after pulling out a cigar from somewhere and putting it between his lips, Wang Shuo sat on the sofa in the hotel and said to the air in a pretentious tone: "Tell me, how many championships do you want to see me win in this life?"
…
PS: New book release, the new author is begging for help! Rolling on the floor and throwing tantrums! (Dear readers, you don’t want to see this 200-pound author rolling on the floor as an excuse not to write, right?)
【New Book Comments】
Phew, long time no see, dear readers, I missed you so much! (Seriously)
Uh, to be honest, I have so much to say to you guys, and whenever I think about the fact that I haven't been able to finish writing the final remarks and the extra chapters due to health problems, I feel like ants are crawling in my heart every day.
There is no way. In the past few years, Ah Qiao has had too many health problems. Often, as soon as one problem is solved, another problem pops up. But in short, these are not excuses, and Ah Qiao does not want these problems to be excuses.
Of course, if any problem occurs while writing a new book, Aqiao will definitely have to take a leave of absence.
Now let's talk business. First, let's talk about the extra chapter of Blacksmith. After the new book is released, Aqiao will definitely take time to update the extra chapter of Blacksmith, but there is a more serious problem, that is... it's been a long time, and I forgot what I wanted to write at that time. It seems that in the initial idea, I also thought about rewriting the ending in the extra chapter. So, if there is any part of Blacksmith that you haven't seen enough of, remember to leave me a message in the chapter review. Anyway, Aqiao will give priority to writing what you want to see.
Uh, speaking of this...
You may not believe it, but for this new book, I actually wanted to publish a blank chapter in the first chapter without any words.
Yes, you read that right, the first chapter without a single word. Isn’t it cool just thinking about it?
As for the reason?
Of course...I know s**t about basketball, I know s**t about basketball articles, I know s**t about typing?
Anyway, let me say this in advance. For the new book, I don’t have a single chapter saved. Yes, not even a single word saved. As for the outline, well, don’t joke. Apart from forging iron and plug-ins, I have never written an outline since I started writing. (You seem to have only written these two books.)
In short, there is no outline, no drafts, only an idea. What about the rest of the story? Well, don’t we still have you? In short, if you want to see something or have any ideas about the plot, please leave a message to Aqiao in the chapter reviews, because I will copy your ideas and it will become this new book (ah, can it be called copying when a reader copies chapter reviews?). Yes, you read it right, for this new book, Aqiao plans to write something very new, that is, "crowdfunding book writing" in the true sense.
So, after having this idea, Aqiao, who originally didn't want to write a coach article, suddenly had an idea. Because there is more content to write about coach articles in terms of operations, player selection, and basketball skills and tactics. (To be honest, the first 4 million words really blocked my own way, because Aqiao thought about it for half a year and couldn't figure out how to write the player article if I still wrote basketball)
Anyway, if there is any content you want to see, or some little-known basketball facts that Aqiao doesn’t know, or recommendations for treasure players in the early 21st century, whether specific or not, readers can leave a message to Aqiao. If you want, you can even help me write an outline in the chapter review or comment area so that I can start copying directly.
And I...it's obvious that I am the carrier of your ideas.
In addition, Aqiao would like to thank the readers who have been concerned about Aqiao's health and the progress of her new book during such a long waiting period.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
As for the rest...to be honest, Aqiao couldn't think it through for a while, because human beings are creatures that often cannot say a single word even when they have a lot to say.
So, if you have anything to say, let’s continue talking about it in the book.
Oh, by the way, regarding the update time, the update will start tomorrow, tentatively scheduled at 5pm and 10pm every day, twice a day. Because there are no drafts saved, the update time will probably be the same after it is put on the shelves. As for if there are any subsequent adjustments, I will notify you as soon as possible.
Finally, what about rewards, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, etc. =. =, dear readers, you don’t want to see Aqiao, a 200-pound fat man, rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum, right?
