Chapter 502 - 414: The Strongest Superstar in History (The End!)
The start of the game set the tone for Game 1.
The Nuggets applied pressure on the Knight right from the start of the game.
The Knight’s offense was in disarray, while the Nuggets’ offense was very smooth with the coordination between Zeng Xingyang and Jokic.
Game 1 ended with a score of 91 to 119.
The Nuggets achieved a comfortable victory over the Knight by 28 points.
The subsequent Game 2 was similar to Game 1.
Overall, the Knight was significantly weaker than the Nuggets. James tried his best to carry the game, racking up 50 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists, but unfortunately, his teammates didn’t step up.
Game 2 ultimately ended with a score of 112 to 117, and the Nuggets narrowly defeated the Knight.
Game 3.
The Knight was back on their home court.
The entire Knight team was prepared to fight to the last!
But, it was the same problem: the gap between the two teams was too wide.
The Nuggets scored easily on the court, every player seemed to be able to score, smoothly coordinated by Zeng Xingyang and Jokic.
Meanwhile, the Knight struggled to get the ball into the basket every time.
In the last 35 seconds of the game, when Knight’s Tyronn Lue called the final timeout, the point difference was still 8 points.
The Knight did not achieve the miraculous feat of scoring 13 points in 35 seconds to reverse the game.
Ultimately, the score was fixed at 112 to 102, and the Nuggets smoothly secured the third game.
Game 4!
The entire Knight team had almost given up the game, the Nuggets locked in the win after just three quarters!!
The final score was 115 to 89.
In the finals, the Nuggets completed a 4-0 sweep of the Knight!!
Zeng Xingyang successfully claimed his second career championship and defended the title.
During the post-game FMVP award ceremony, Zeng Xingyang unsurprisingly won again, achieving a grand slam of personal honors.
.....
.....
Sixteen years later.
After Zeng Xingyang won his 13th career championship and 13th FMVP, he announced his retirement.
Reporters asked, "Zeng, are you sure you want to retire? You’re still at the top of the league! If you want, you could continue to improve your NBA personal scoring record."
"Honestly, I’ve achieved all my basketball dreams, I want to spend more time with my seven children."
"Zeng, can you reveal the mothers of these seven children?"
"Haha, maybe you’ll find out in my autobiography."
"Will you announce a comeback like Michael?"
"Probably not, I have no regrets, and I’m not short of money."
"Who do you think will be your successor?"
"Haha, rather than having them become another me, let them become themselves."
....
After the interview, Zeng Xingyang, along with his teammates, raised his 13th O’Brien Cup!
The teammates around him changed time and time again, but only Jokic played alongside him to the end.
A few days later, Zeng Xingyang held a special retirement ceremony, inviting all the legends and former teammates he knew to attend.
"Kobe, now my championship rings are more than twice yours," Zeng Xingyang said with a smile to Kobe beside him.
"Sorry, man, I don’t care about that stuff anymore, say what you will, I won’t get mad, I’m more focused on raising the next generation," Kobe shrugged.
"How about your youngest daughter marrying my second son? Let’s see if our genes produce someone stronger than me," Zeng Xingyang suggested.
"Damn it, I knew you were eyeing my daughter, who’s his mother?" Kobe gossiped.
"Scarlett," Zeng Xingyang replied with a smile.
"What about your third son?"
"Tyler!"
"You bastard!"
"Are you jealous my son count beats yours?"
"Get lost!!"
After being scolded by Kobe.
Zeng Xingyang spotted James and walked over to ask, "LeBron, I’ve always wanted to ask, how does it feel to have ten runner-up finishes in your career, the most in NBA history?"
James shrugged and said, "You know, man, nobody wants that feeling. Most of the time I wanted to beat you, you were my mountain."
James also asked, "Zeng, you helped so many veterans win championships, why reject me from joining the Nuggets a year before I retired?"
Zeng Xingyang smiled and replied, "Haha, I saw you as a formidable opponent, being teammates wouldn’t be as interesting."
James shrugged, feeling very regretful.
......
At the retirement ceremony, Zeng Xingyang announced the official end of his career, and his next plan is to purchase an NBA team, meeting fans as the wealthiest NBA team owner.
(The End!)
