NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

Chapter 41: 23 vs 24, the NBA's Biggest Regret

After winning their first championship trophy in team history, the entire Davidson College basketball team became the absolute stars on campus.

Stephen Curry and Ye Chu, the twin stars, have become honorary alumni of Davidson College.

In the words of the Dean of Davidson College:

"No matter what achievements Stephen Curry and Ye Chu make in the future."

"At least during their time at college, they were the pride of Davidson College!"

The Ncaa tournament has ended.

Although Ye Chu has indicated that he will go directly to the NBA, he and Curry stayed at Davidson College for classes and daily training because the season has not yet ended.

The highly anticipated NCAA Tournament champion has been crowned, and the NBA, which receives even more attention from fans, has also ushered in the final game of its regular season.

May 18, US time

The final day of the 08-09 NBA regular season.

The Charlotte Bobcats, also based in North Carolina, invited Davidson College to their home arena to watch their team's season-ending game.

coincidentally

The team visiting the Spectrum Center today is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a record of 65 wins and 16 losses.

If the Cleveland Cavaliers can win this game, they will overtake the Los Angeles Lakers and finish the regular season with the best record in the entire league.

"Ye, next season we'll be facing off against LeBron James!"

Sitting in the stands, Stephen Curry, holding popcorn, looked somewhat excited: "I wonder if we can beat him!"

"Also, how many points do you think you can score against his defense?"

Curry asked with some curiosity, "What if LeBron James was watching you the whole game?"

"35 or 40 points!"

Ye Chu didn't even think about it: "His defense isn't very strong, my shot can easily get rid of his defense!"

35 or 40 points?

Are you kidding me?

Curry turned to look at Ye Chu beside him. After saying this, Ye Chu's expression was still completely serious.

As expected of Ye Chu!

Always be confident!

Even when facing LeBron James, he wasn't intimidated at all!

In this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers gave their opponents no chance to breathe.

James recorded a triple-double with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading his team to a road victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

In fact, the final record for this season was 66 wins and 16 losses.

They officially surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing the regular season as the league's top seed.

It is worth mentioning that.

After the game ended, the media on the sidelines focused their cameras on Ye Chu and Curry, who were sitting in the stands.

Davidson College's twin stars represent the future.

LeBron James represents the current state of the league.

James seemed to have noticed the media's intentions, and glanced at Ye Chu and Curry in the audience.

Looks like I've got another task to do next season!

We need to teach this rookie a lesson again!

However, James thoroughly enjoys educating these rising superstars who are just entering the league.

With the NBA regular season over, the tanking battles among teams in the league have finally come to an end.

With a wealth of talented young players including Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Jeff Green, Oklahoma City Raptors achieved their worst record in franchise history with a 12-70 record.

In order to secure their first-ever number one draft pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder have practically abandoned all pretense of decency.

The Los Angeles Clippers fought hard to catch up in the later stages, but ultimately only managed a record of 14 wins and 68 losses, slightly behind the Thunder.

The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, are filled with regret. With a record of 20 wins and 62 losses, they are clearly drifting further and further away from the number one draft pick.

As for the New Jersey Nets, they really want to give the Oklahoma City Thunder management a good beating.

If the Thunder hadn't intentionally lost to the Nets, could the Nets have achieved 21 wins?

With a record of 21 wins and 61 losses, the fourth worst in the league, they were so close to the number one draft pick, yet it seemed an unattainable dream.

Meanwhile, New York, USA

Inside the NBA executive meeting room.

Then-commissioner David Stern and several league executives discussed matters related to this year's draft lottery.

First, they clarified the guiding principles for this meeting.

That means we absolutely cannot give the Oklahoma City Thunder the number one draft pick!

The Thunder's management's deliberate tanking is tantamount to openly challenging the league's bottom line.

So, who will this top scorer be signed to?

After all, there was a 99% chance that Ye Chu would be chosen as the top pick.

So, is Ye Chu a better fit for the Memphis Grizzlies or the Los Angeles Clippers?

Putting aside the team's performance.

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies are both widely considered to be the worst teams in the league.

Giving Ye Chu such a cornerstone for building the team will indeed benefit the team's competitiveness in the future.

The Memphis Grizzlies drafted a prodigy last year, OJ Mayo. If they continue to accumulate superstar rookies for two consecutive years, their main theme in the coming period will undoubtedly be a "youth storm," which is in line with the league's future trend.

The Los Angeles Clippers are also the best destination for the number one draft pick.

Ye Chu's arrival in a major city like Los Angeles would not only bring him peak exposure, but also provide an attractive opportunity for the Clippers to face off against the Lakers, their fierce city rivals.

It is foreseeable that the number one pick in this year's draft will basically be either the Los Angeles Lakers or the Memphis Grizzlies.

While Thunder's general manager was still figuring out how to maximize the benefits of the number one draft pick they were about to acquire.

The NBA leadership has declared them dead!

May 20, US time

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who finished first in the regular season and had won two consecutive MVP awards, were stopped in the Finals by the Orlando Magic.

The match has ended.

LeBron James, who scored 38 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists, took off his Cavaliers jersey in the player tunnel.

No one means what this is.

There is no answer.

But the Cavaliers' management was clearly panicked...

And on the same day.

Led by Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 4-2 and will face the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals!

If we're talking about the most anticipated basketball matchup of the 21st century, it has to be 23 vs 24, namely LeBron James versus Kobe Bryant.

As one of the greatest football stars of the new century.

Every match between the two was a highlight, the only regret being that we never got to see them face off in the finals.

And this may be the biggest regret in NBA history.
