A Bizarre Record

Dolan was visibly taken aback, then overjoyed, but he couldn't say much in this situation. He simply patted Li Chen's shoulder forcefully.

When Li Chen and his teammates raised the O'Brien Cup again, Madison Square Garden erupted in cheers, with waves of excitement rising one after another.

Then came the NBA Finals MVP. Li Chen, with 31.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 17.1 assists, 4.5 steals, and 2.6 blocks in the finals, undoubtedly won the Finals MVP again.

Then came the parade, which was different from the one in Los Angeles because the Knicks are the owners of New York, the biggest city in the world.

Therefore, the scene was much grander than the one in Los Angeles, with crowds of people lining both sides of the road.

Li Chen also invited a few fans to march with them, and JR Smith readily agreed to select a few female fans.

Li Chen was speechless.

Then came a night of revelry. Around one or two in the morning, Li Chen received a message on his phone.

The message was from Avril. Upon seeing it, Li Chen felt a little guilty. This is what it said.

"Honey, congratulations on winning the championship again! I can't make it back to celebrate with you, but I'll have a surprise gift for you tomorrow."

Li Chen smiled slightly, looking forward to what surprise this little girl would give him tomorrow.

Just then, the phone rang again with a message, this time a blessing from Li Ruping.

Half an hour later, Britney also sent a message that read, "Chen, you're the best."

This information is somewhat ambiguous! It involuntarily reminded him of that crazy night.

Sure enough, a relationship that goes beyond friendship cannot develop between a man and a woman, otherwise it will become something else entirely. He thought helplessly.

Li Chen, who didn't particularly like nightclubs, stayed until 3 a. m. before going home.

However, he wasn't the first to leave; Wang Zhizhi ran off around 2 PM.

He remembered that he paid for the nightclub parties last season, but this season the Knicks paid for them.

After getting home, he took a shower and then rested.

Just as Li Chen was drifting off to sleep, a soft body pressed against him and then embraced him, which startled Li Chen.

"Honey, are you satisfied with this gift? Were you surprised?"

Then Avril's clear voice rang out.

At this moment, Li Chen also realized that Avril's so-called gift was actually himself.

As for whether he was surprised or not, he felt more frightened.

After internally complaining for a moment, Li Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I really like this gift." And so... absence makes the heart grow fonder...

The next day, Li Chen decided to go to Los Angeles to see his godson, Little Kobe. Hehe! That was just an excuse; he actually wanted to show off to Kobe.

Actually, calling could have worked, but Kobe's phone was off. So he had to go to Los Angeles in person.

Originally, Li Chen wanted to take Avril with him, but she had been beaten to a pulp by Li Chen in the early morning and was still too weak to move, so Li Chen had to go to Los Angeles by himself.

Kobe never expected that Li Chen, that shameless bastard, would actually follow him to his home. Kobe spent the entire afternoon feeling utterly hopeless.

Because Li Chen spent the whole afternoon telling his son Junior about his glorious deeds.

You're saying he's bragging about his three-peat? O'Neal was the main player in those three championships, while O'Neal only played a role similar to JR Smith.

At that moment, Kobe realized that he had nothing to brag about to his son. Kobe secretly made up his mind to go see Old Bass the next day.

How could he possibly avoid a one-on-one matchup with Kobe? In the end, Li Chen narrowly defeated Kobe by one point.

Finally, Li Chen returned to his large villa in Los Angeles. When he arrived at the Training Gym, he found that only DeRozan was practicing; Harden was nowhere to be seen. Li Chen was furious.

When Harden, who was on a date, received a call from Li Chen, he was terrified. He then said to the somewhat shy girl on the other end of the line in an extremely serious tone, "Aisha, I don't think we're a good match." After saying that, he ran away.

This left the somewhat shy Aisha completely bewildered; she still couldn't figure out what was going on.

DeRozan didn't betray Harden this time, but Harden wasn't much better off either.

Because he wasn't practicing during the day, this guy must have been up to no good, so Harden suffered inhumane torture.

Li Chen tormented Harden for three days before leaving satisfied. However, this was not the end; it was merely the beginning.

Because during the time Li Chen was there, Kobe the Little Blacksmith had more losses than wins in their one-on-one matches, which made him very unhappy.

Kobe was unhappy, so naturally someone was going to suffer, and that's how Harden and DeRozan ended up in trouble.

The 2005 NBA Draft was held on June 28 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

The draft was broadcast live to 202 countries and regions worldwide via ESPN.

There weren't any major upsets in this draft, but there were still some minor ones.

The Knicks, who didn't have a draft pick this year, spent money to buy a 30th overall pick and a 15th overall pick from other teams, and signed David Lee and Louis Williams respectively.

These two are considered exemplary examples of underdog success in the NBA.

However, Louis Williams can only unleash his full potential when he has the ball in his hands, which doesn't quite fit the Knicks' style of play.

But Li Chen was confident he could sell this guy for a good price within two years.

Afterwards, Li Chen called his Clippers teammates and Knicks teammates one by one, inviting them to go on a wilderness survival adventure.

In order to make this survival attempt perfect, Li Chen unintentionally found Bear Grylls, a special forces soldier who was not well-known at the time.

As everyone knows, special forces soldiers are extremely skilled at wilderness survival; they possess a wide range of survival skills.

When the teammates arrived at the wilderness survival location, their mouths were pursed as if they had eaten bitter melon; they were going crazy.

Li Chen originally didn't want to take Avril, after all, it was too dangerous; the African wilderness was too dangerous.

However, Avril, a punk princess and a model of rebellious youth, stayed by Li Chen's side 24 hours a day, even following him to the bathroom. In the end Li Chen surrendered.

A few days later, on the edge of the African jungle.

The teammates started setting up tents and cooking; they had decided to camp here today.

At this moment, Li Chen looked at Odom with a complicated expression. This guy had actually brought his new girlfriend over.

To Li Chen's dismay, this guy's girlfriend turned out to be Khloe Kardashian.

This guy is really asking for trouble, like an old man who's tired of living!

As a teammate who had gone through thick and thin with Odom, Li Chen still wanted to try and persuade Odom, but Odom seriously said that this was true love. This left Li Chen even more speechless.

After lunch, Avril said she needed to use the restroom, and Li Chen naturally followed, since they were in the wild.

But what she feared most came true; Avril was bitten by a venomous snake while relieving herself. Although it wasn't a cobra or Black Mamba, it was still unbearable for Avril.

A few minutes later.

"Chen, we must suck the poison out of Avril's wound now, otherwise she might be in real danger." With that, Bear Grylls was about to expel the poison from Avril.

But Li Chen stopped him at this moment. Li Chen's actions puzzled Bear Grylls. His first thought was that Li Chen didn't want other men to have contact with his girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Bear Grylls felt somewhat dissatisfied with Li Chen, this Eastern man. In a matter of life and death, he was still thinking about such things; this showed a lack of respect for life.

At this moment, Li Chen said, "Mr. Bell, such dangerous things shouldn't be done by you. After all, I brought them out to do wilderness survival, so I am responsible for their safety. You are just a guide, so I will not let you take the risk."

Hearing this, Bear Grylls felt a little ashamed. He had really misunderstood this Eastern man; he hadn't expected this man to be such a responsible Easterner.

As Li Chen painstakingly sucked out the swollen, blackened blood from her leg, Avril was already running a fever, burst into tears. As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble; how could she not be moved by Li Chen's selfless act of risking his own safety for her?

After this incident, Li Chen never dared to take his teammates on wilderness survival missions again. After all, Avril was lucky this time, only bitten by a common venomous snake, which he could suck out. But what if it had been a cobra or Black Mamba?

So the originally planned ten-day wilderness survival trip was abandoned after only half of it was completed.

Back in the city, Li Chen hurriedly took Avril for a checkup. The results showed that there were no residual toxins, which reassured Li Chen somewhat.

However, the medical conditions here are somewhat backward. After returning to the United States and undergoing another check-up, Li Chen finally felt relieved.

During this time, Avril nonchalantly praised Li Chen for smoking so cleanly, but she was secretly very happy.

After learning about the matter, Li Chen received a call from Wang Zhizhi.

After the call connected, before Li Chen could even speak, Wang Zhizhi excitedly exclaimed, "Li Chen, I'm back on the National Team! I can play in the Asian Championship this summer!"

"Congratulations," Li Chen said sincerely.

He could picture Wang Zhizhi grinning from ear to ear.

Li Chen is now somewhat glad that he is a basketball player. If he were a soccer player, it would be a real headache; he simply couldn't carry the team!

Even someone with cheat codes like him can't do anything about football!

Time flies, and the 23rd Asian Men's Basketball Championship was held in Doha, Qatar from September 8 to September 17, 2005.

The National Team today is no longer the same National Team that could only compete in Asia; now, the national team has the title of Olympic champion.

The Chinese men's basketball team was placed in Group B for the group stage, along with Iran, Chinese Taipei, and Uzbekistan.

The National Team's advantage was obvious in the group stage, with a crushing 116-61 victory over Iran in the first match, a 55-point win;

In the second game, they defeated Taipei 116-58.

123-52, a resounding victory over Uzbekistan.

No team in the group stage could compete with the Chinese team; they had no chance to fight back.

Wang Zhizhi, in particular, has experience in facing top NBA centers in the Playoffs, making it incredibly easy and enjoyable for him to play against these Asian teams.

With Li Chen's passing, Wang Zhizhi averaged 30+ points per game in the group stage, Yao Ming averaged 28+ points, and Yi Jianlian 20+ points.

The three teams the National Team is currently playing against have a feel of playing against the USA Team.

That's incredible! Keep in mind that Li Chen didn't even lift a finger in those three matches.

He then set a bizarre record: in three games, Li Chen played 140 minutes without scoring a single point, but he achieved a terrifying number of assists, averaging over 30 assists per game.

Li Chen's unconventional moves left domestic fans speechless. While other players were still trying to improve their scoring, Li Chen was busy assisting, and his assists even matched Wang Zhizhi's scoring average.

In the second round, they first defeated the Japan Team 136-53.

Lebanon 126-73.

The most exhilarating victory ever! A crushing 138-10 victory over Saudi Arabia, a margin of 128 points! (The original score was 98-10, but considering Li Chen's 20% shooting percentage, 138 isn't unreasonable!)

During the game, Saudi Arabia was completely bewildered. In the end, all they knew was to shoot and run back. The five players on the court were like five walking corpses, as if they were just there for a vacation, with absolutely no desire to fight.

Saudi Arabia scored 4 points in the first quarter, but only 2 points in each of the next three quarters. Yao Ming had not played against Saudi Arabia due to a chin injury sustained in the previous game, so Wang Zhizhi scored 60 points alone in this game.

Yi Jianlian also scored 30 points.

As for Li Chen, he remained a minor player, racking up 40 assists.

This is also the largest margin of victory in world history.

The biggest point difference in world basketball competitions was actually in the 1974 World Championship, Soviet Union defeated the Central Africa 140-48 by 92 points!

But now this record belongs to China, and it's believed that no one will break it in the future.

In the semifinals, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the formidable South Korea National Team. South Korea National Team was considered China's biggest rival in the Asian Championships before the game, but they proved to be no match for them.

Yao Ming had 24 points and 15 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi had 30 points and 10 rebounds.

Led by Li Chen, the South Korea National Team 128-49, a score of 79 points, setting a new record for the biggest score in a match between the two countries on the international stage.

Some South Korea media outlets even claimed that Li Chen is Korean, since there are people with the surname Lee in South Korea.

This left Li Chen speechless.

In the final, the China Men's National Basketball Team defeated Lebanon 117-61, winning the Asian Championship with a perfect record.

Now, domestic fans stand tall, and all they want to say is, who else?

Basketball is on fire, and football fans are drooling with envy, wondering when football will produce its own Li Chen.

If Li Chen knew what they were thinking, he would honestly tell them that in football, even if you add Pelé and Maradona, it wouldn't make a difference; there's no hope.

It's worth mentioning that Baidu officially listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in the United States, closing at $200 on its first day of trading.

As Li Yanhong watched the stock price soar, his heart pounded wildly. He even regretted selling 30% of his shares to Star Investment Company for one dollar.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that without Xingchen Company, his stock would never have risen to such an astonishing level. Having grasped the key point, he felt relieved.

Li Yanhong's net worth skyrocketed by $800 million in an instant, making him a billionaire.

Originally, Baidu's largest shareholder in the timeline was the American venture capital firm DFJ "eStar," which Baidu 25.8% of the company's shares. However, it now only holds about 10%.

Because Baidu's stock price rose too quickly.

If buying Baidu's stock again would result in an even higher price, it would not be in the investors' best interest, so they gave up on continuing to buy Baidu's stock at a high price.

In other words, Li Chen also said he was contributing to the country, preventing Baidu from falling into the hands of foreigners.
