The next day, Wang Jun made sports headlines in several media outlets.

"The king of China passed the urine test, was talented, and won the championship in the Los Angeles Marathon by his strength!"

"After running for 2 hours and 10 minutes, Wang Jun will switch to track and field?"

"Wang Jun - the best runner among NBA players!"

The New York Times article said: "Many people wonder why Wang Jun is so strong in the NBA. He can play with the ball or without the ball like Hamilton. I think people still underestimate his physical fitness, and he is still not at the same level as players like Hamilton, Kobe Bryant, and Iverson. ”

After reading the newspaper, David Stern's mouth opened in an O-shape, and he was stunned for half a minute before asking, "Isn't April Fool's Day yet yet?" Could it be true? ”

Adam Xiao Hua lifted his glasses and sighed: "Really, I didn't expect him to be so strong, today the whole United States is discussing Wang Jun, and there is some bad news in Los Angeles." ”

"What's the news?" Stern isn't as online as young people and hasn't watched it yet.

"Many fans think that he can win the championship when he comes back, even if he is not in the Bulls, he can compete for the championship in other teams." Xiao Hua said.

"And then ......"

"Some Lakers fans suggested that Wang Jun make a comeback with the Lakers and let Kobe be the second leader or trade him directly, because he is not suitable to be the tactical core. It is also said that the triangle offensive strategy is now played around Gasol, and if Gasol does not respond, the Lakers will be in the first round of the playoffs. ”

Stern was silent, this was not the first time he had heard such remarks.

In terms of strength, Kobe Bryant is of course stronger than Gasol, and the Lakers have to rely on him to steal points at critical moments; Gasol's role is also crucial, and the two are indispensable and are a golden partner in the current league.

This kind of remark proves that Wang Jun still overshadows Kobe, and in comparison, Kobe's controversy is too great.

The league's highly praised star is over 30 years old, so it is better for Wang Jun to run a marathon...... Moreover, if Wang Jun has achieved results in other fields, will he be willing to return to the NBA in the future?

Jordan didn't succeed in fields other than basketball, but Wang Jun did, which made Stern a little unhappy.

Stern's biggest headache is the attribution of this season's regular season MVP. Compared with Cleveland's James, the league hopes that Kobe Bryant will win the MVP and lead Los Angeles to win the championship, which will create the greatest commercial value.

At present, James's data is much stronger than Kobe, and it is not a grade at all, just like last season's MVP selection, Kobe Bryant and Wang Jun were compared.

Bryant's stats have slipped from last season, and he is sixth on the efficiency list, with 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists. He ranked third in the scoring list, 19th in steals, and the other three were not in the top 50.

In addition, he has two stats ranked first, which are the total number of shots made in a single season and the number of shots made from the field.

Wade averaged 22 shots per game slightly better than Kobe, but his shooting percentage was close to 50% higher than him, and he missed three games, so he was at the bottom of the list.

James is not good at winning championships, his teammates are poor, and brushing personal honors has become the first priority this season, and Stern knows it.

However, let James win the MVP this season, which is another MVP player in the class of 2003, can Kobe Bryant still be an MVP in his life? Enough choking.

Kobe Bryant must be full of controversy, and the statistics are not as good as James, Wade, Paul, and Howard...... If you don't give it to him, the lack of important honors in this life is the failure of the alliance's star-making plan.

After three minutes of silence, Stern remained in a daze, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask: "Should we contact Wang Jun in the summer and talk to him about his comeback?" ”

Stern shook his head. "Wait and see how the playoffs go. He bought a house in Los Angeles and apparently didn't want to make a comeback with the Bulls. At this time, he came to him, and he said that he wanted to be a completely free person, what should he do? ”

Xiao Hua didn't know what to do, this was a problem.

Promised, the bull will definitely be dissatisfied; didn't agree, Wang Jun dragged the fans so dissatisfied; If the ratings can't go up, the broadcast rights may not sell well, and the investors will be unlucky.

If you can't pick up a superstar and make fans forget Wang Jun, sooner or later you have to persuade him to come back. Drag it out until 2010 and then make him a complete free man, and the Bulls management won't have much to say, which is Stern's plan.

Wang Jun saw that his sister's complexion was getting better and better, and he gradually couldn't stay idle. After consulting with his family, he decided to compete in the triathlon.

In the past, no one believed that he could win a marathon, but after winning, it was time to try more exciting projects.

As a place of confinement for vicious prisoners by the U.S. federal government, "Alcatraz" is a small island in the sea full of mysteries and legends near San Francisco, USA, with a land area of about 89,000 square meters. The geography is complex and rocky, making it challenging.

In 1981, a legendary event was born, the Escape from Alcatraz International Triathlon.

Now in its 28th year, the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon is considered one of the four largest triathlons in the world, and in 2006 it was named the World's Best Triathlon by Triathlon magazine, as well as being recognized as one of the hardest triathlons in the world.

Every June, the world's top triathletes gather in San Francisco, including world champions and Olympic medalists, to challenge their physical fitness and mental strength with icy waters, steep hills, and rugged roads.

Wang Jun started doing his homework at home, studying the competition system and watching videos of previous games.

The course starts with a dive from a cruise ship on Alcatraz Island and swims 1.5 miles in 10-degree water to reach the Francis Yacht Club on the San Francisco coastline.

1.5 miles is about 2.4 kilometers, and the first item alone cannot be completed by an ordinary person, and if you don't do it, you will have leg cramps and feed the fish in the sea.

That's why the number of participants is small, with only 2,000 athletes registered each year. This is not a marathon that ordinary people can experience.

Athletes then run over a half-mile sand ladder from Baker Beach to Mary Green Park.

The second is an 18-mile bicycle ride through the fortress where prisoners were imprisoned, a distance of nearly 30 kilometers, and the slow ride is fatal, and the runners have to try to maintain their speed.

Finally, run 8 miles to reach Mary Green Park, which is the equivalent of going around the island.

It is not easy to compete for an entry ticket, 8,000 people sign up, and 6,000 will be eliminated. Wang Jun ran a marathon and won the championship, coupled with his special status, he passed immediately after registration and successfully entered the finals of 2,000 people.

The organizers plan to start promoting it immediately, no matter what ranking Wang Jun gets, it will make more people around the world pay attention to this event, and he is a live advertisement.

Wang Jun had two months to prepare, and he practiced cycling at home, and specially invited a white coach to teach him how to ride faster and avoid injury.

He has been good at swimming with systematic training, he has never competed in a bicycle, his skills are poor, and he doesn't want accidents.

This coach has participated in the Tour de France before, and although he did not win a place, he is also quite professional. He didn't even accept Armstrong, believing that those who were stronger than him were doping......

Wang Jun's plan is to establish an advantage in the first two projects and lead all the way to the end.

If it goes well, he could steal some of the limelight from the NBA Finals. If fans follow his game instead of the NBA Finals, I wonder how the president would feel?
