With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 102 Victoria's Secret is Beautiful

Uh, I’ve been writing quite a lot these past few days. I only remembered it when I was reminded in a book friend’s comment. I actually forgot the title of the book. I forgot to write Nash’s plot in it. It became a headline party, which is uncomfortable.

……

"Hello, audience friends. This is the XX talk show. Today we have invited the Suns star Steve Nash who just won the NBA championship not long ago and won the finals FMVP!"

Amid applause from the audience, Nash walked up with a smile.

This is a relatively well-known talk show in the United States. Many Hollywood stars and singers have participated, including some top NBA stars.

Nash, who has two regular season MVPs and just won the NBA championship and FMVP, once reached the peak of his reputation in the league. Even this talk show invited Nash to make an appointment for a long time in advance.

This talk show has always been known for being truthful, daring to ask, and explosive. It often asks the invited guests some sharp questions, thus bringing hot spots and attention.

Even if the interviewees are those top Hollywood stars and celebrities, let alone NBA superstars who are less popular.

Therefore, not long after talking with Nash, the host threw out a very controversial topic.

"Steve, this time the Suns faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals. They won very easily. They were completely swept out in 4 games. Many people said that the Suns are ahead of other teams in the league in terms of strength, tactics and players. There is a high probability that they will continue to defend their title next year, is that right?"

"Of course not." Nash shook his head. Although it was an entertaining talk show, it was impossible for him to cause hatred at will. "During the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs caused us a lot of trouble. We reached Game [-] and finally won the game with a slightly better performance. If we do it all over again, the ending may be different. .”

"And this summer, many teams have strengthened. The Celtics and the Rockets have formed a Big Three lineup. They are all favorites to win the championship. It is not so easy for us to defend the title. We must continue to work hard..."

"Is it because Wang Chao left the team?" The host's words made Nash pause slightly. "Many people now say that if the Suns keep Wang Chao, the Suns will also have a combination of the Big Three. The combination of you + Stoudemire + Wang Chao is not inferior to the Big Three of the Celtics and the Rockets, especially if the Suns After one season, Wang Chao, who is still very young, will definitely become more skilled, and you have been partners for a long time, and your tacit understanding is more advantageous than that of the Celtics and Rockets."

The host obviously did his homework in advance, and the questions he asked were very sharp.

Facing the camera, Nash was silent for a moment. He knew that it would not be good for the Suns to speak out his true thoughts, because things had already happened, and no matter what he said, they would not be able to change the result, but would instead cause conflicts within the team.

But without saying anything, Nash also felt very uncomfortable.

Regarding the issue of Wang Chao's contract extension, Nash also talked to the head coach before. Personally, he hopes that Wang Chao can stay on the team. As the brain of the Suns, no one knows better than Nash that such a phenomenon as Wang Chao The significance of the best three-point shooter for the Suns' running and bombing tactical system.

Therefore, when he learned that Wang Chao asked to renew his contract with a maximum salary, he did not persuade Wang Chao to take the initiative to cut his salary, nor did he discuss the matter with his agent Bill Duffy. Although Bill Duffy was introduced to Wang Chao by him, It is not wrong for players to pursue a maximum salary renewal. With Wang Chao's age and performance, he is also worthy of a maximum salary renewal.

So when Nash talked to the general manager, he expressed the hope that the team can renew Wang Chao's contract with a maximum salary. When his contract expires next year, he can appropriately reduce his salary to help the team reduce salary pressure.

As the absolute core of the team, Nash's approach is quite conscientious. As a two-time regular season MVP, and now he has an FMVP, Nash's salary is only ranked No.3 in the Suns, with an annual salary of just over 1000 million. Tadamier and Marion are both low.

Although this is also because Nash's worth in the Mavericks was not high at the time, so he didn't spend a high salary contract when he was poached to the Suns.

However, according to Nash's contributions to the Suns over the past few years, he led the team to win the first championship in the history of the Suns. After the contract expires next summer, even if Nash is 34 years old by then, the Suns will at least give Nash offered a decent pension contract to show respect.

And Nash said that the salary can be cut appropriately, so that the Suns can keep Wang Chao with the maximum salary.

But unexpectedly, the management finally chose to give up Wang Chao, and the team owner was unwilling to pay even a little luxury tax.

While Nash was disappointed, he couldn't say anything more.

Nash's personality belongs to the more elegant and modest type, unlike Jordan, Kobe, James and others who can coerce the team to exert pressure to achieve their goals.

Jordan can knock on the general manager's desk and warn the other party not to trade McGrady for Pippen.

Kobe can force O'Neal away, and the younger brothers around James can get big contracts that do not match their own strength.

However, Nash, as the winner of two regular season MVPs, has a total contract value of only 1.4 million US dollars in his entire career. Compared with other players who have won regular season MVPs, it is definitely a cabbage price. His highest annual salary is 1300 million US dollars, and it is still in the future -During the 09th season, the salary cap has increased several times compared to now.

You must know that Wang Chao's starting salary next season will be close to 1300 million.

It can only be said that he is very good as a player and can be ranked among the best in history, but as a team leader, Nash still lacks some domineering that a leader should have. The team must keep Wang Chao, otherwise he will do what he wants. Maybe the attitude of the team management will change.

Of course, even if the team is willing to keep Wang Chao, I am afraid that Wang Chao is not very willing to stay on the team.

In the Suns, he can only be a third player, always under Nash and Stoudemire, even if he can gradually come from behind as his strength grows, but when he goes to the Magic, he is the core of the outside line, shooting casually and inside Compared with the core helping him grab rebounds, it is still a little bit less interesting.

After recovering, Nash showed a little smile on his face, and said to the camera: "Wang Chao is a very good young player, with accurate shooting ability, excellent athletic ability, and a bright future for future development. Losing him is very big for the Suns." The loss, but this is the management's decision, I respect anyone's decision, after all, a team not only has to consider the strength of the team's lineup, but also the salary burden, there is no way."

Nash's words were very tactful, but those who cared could still hear the dissatisfaction in his words, and didn't he mean to say clearly that the reason why the Suns gave up Wang Chao was because they didn't want to pay the luxury tax?
Let Nash, who has a gentle personality, say this, which shows how dissatisfied he is with the short-sighted approach of the team management.

Nash's talk show interview did not cause much repercussions in the league. After all, Nash's euphemistic and implicit way of expressing dissatisfaction is not explosive at all.

If Nash could yell at the general manager and the owner of the team for being stingy in an interview, he would probably be on the headlines of the day's news immediately. Of course, if he did that, he would not be Nash.

Although there was little response in the league, the local fans of the Phoenix Suns were filled with righteous indignation. They were very dissatisfied with Wang Chao's departure from the team, who had just enjoyed the joy of winning the championship. The fans were outraged.

For a while, the fans scolded the Suns management and team owners, as if they were no longer the team that just won the championship, but more like the team that lost in the finals.

……

The turmoil in Phoenix has nothing to do with Wang Chao.

At this moment, Wang Chao is in New York City, waiting for Howard's arrival.

I forgot to mention earlier that the arena that Bill Duffy leased for Wang Chao is in New York. After all, this is the largest city in Mimi. It is not too far from Orlando, where the Magic is located. More importantly, it is also the office of Bill Duffy. The location, Wang Chao's follow-up signing and other matters will continue, and it will be easier for the two to communicate with each other if they are closer.

Naturally, Wang Chao has no objection to this, training is training wherever there is, there is no difference.

It's just that Wang Chao didn't expect that the Big Apple City became Howard's carnival place.

"Hey, Wang!" Howard, who hurried to New York, laughed happily when he saw Wang Chao. "We meet again. How is your training these days? I'm here to train with you."

Howard who met was as enthusiastic as he was on the phone, but more enthusiastic is yet to come.

Without waiting for Wang Chao to speak, he put his arm around Wang Chao's shoulder and said, "Listen to me, buddy, give me a face today, let me take a day off first, and I will take you to a fun place, and we will start formal training tomorrow. It’s a rare opportunity, if you miss this village, you won’t have this store!”

Howard's mysterious appearance made Wang Chao a little curious.

Then Wang Chao understood...

"Is this the fun place you said?"

Seeing Howard excitedly dragging himself to a nightclub, Wang Chao was suddenly speechless.

It is said that Harden is a well-known nightclub chaotic monster, and he loves to live in a nightclub where he spends money crazily.

In fact, there are not a few players like Harden in the league. Howard is a little prince of nightclubs no less than Harden.

It's just that at this time there is no such developed information dissemination method as in the future, and the Magic team is not the Rockets after all, and they don't have that much attention in China, so many people don't know it.

There is one thing to say, Howard is much more entertaining than Harden. Harden is at best merciless. Howard keeps seeds everywhere. Before Wang Chao crossed, there were more than ten known illegitimate children of Howard. Howard Although I refuted the rumor that there were only five, but it is very common to secretly give money to silence others, so I can only say that I am skeptical about it.

"It's just past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the nightlife is still early." Wang Chao looked at Howard speechlessly. "You just got off the plane, so there's no need to be in such a rush, right?"

"What do you know?" Howard said with a nonchalant smile, "There are quite a few top beauties here today. I have already dragged my friends to help me make an appointment with them in advance. Those are all Victoria's Secret top angels. Fortunately, this is New York. You'll have to wait a long time for an opportunity like this in Orlando!"

Victoria's Secret Angel?

Wang Chao paused and looked at Howard.

"Ahem... I can't help it, I've never been interested in these things, but I'm afraid that you will be too lonely, so I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

When Wang Chao was in the Suns, he really didn't go to nightclubs very much. There are many reasons.

First, he doesn't like the noisy environment of nightclubs. Second, he doesn't have many friends in the Suns. A few players who like to go to nightclubs, such as Stoudemire and Marion, don't take him to play. San Wangchao’s salary at that time was only a few hundred thousand, and he would have to eat dirt if he went to a nightclub a few times.

Fourth, and the last and most important point, as a Chinese, Chao Wang cannot accept the so-called beauties in most nightclubs aesthetically.

All of them are wearing big waves, heavy makeup, and many of them have smoky makeup. They really don't have any appetite at all.

But if it's Victoria's Secret's beauty, it's different.

After all, Victoria's Secret Angels are the dreams of men all over the world. They have big breasts, fat buttocks and long legs. They not only have a good figure, but also have a unique appearance.

Wang Chao believed in Howard's words. As the No. 04 pick in 5, Howard was considered a favorite in the league. The five-year contract extension of $8500 million is definitely the highest contract for a rookie player in recent years.

With his status, it's not difficult to invite a few beautiful Victoria's Secret ladies to help out.

In the previous life, he lived an ordinary life honestly and dutifully. It is rare to travel through time and play in the NBA. He also worked hard to get the maximum salary. Wang Chao is not willing to be strict with himself like an ascetic. Serious, proper relaxation and entertainment are also essential.

……

"Girls, let me introduce you. This is my buddy who just won the NBA championship and will be my partner in the future! Chao Wang!"

Howard introduced Wang Chao to a group of beautiful women.

"Hello……"

To be honest, Wang Chao was a little dazzled at this moment.

All beauties with a height of 1.7 meters and [-] meters, fair skin and long legs, the quality is really good, almost every one of them is within Wang Chao's aesthetic range.

After all, they are Victoria's Secret Angels, even if they are not those popular pillars, they are also the best stunners who have been carefully selected to stand out from the crowd.

He also noticed that when Howard introduced himself, the eyes of several Victoria's Secret angels lit up.

It's not that Wang Chao is bragging. His image can be described as Yushu Linfeng. With a height of 2 meters and a weight of 06 kilograms, after more than a year of hard training, he looks relatively sunny and tough. He also looks handsome, at least on the same level as Chandler Parsons.

Looking at the NBA, the vast majority of star players are black. Although the United States advocates political correctness, except for a few such as Kobe, it is an indisputable fact that most blacks are of average appearance.

At least in the eyes of these Victoria's Secret angels, Wang Chao must be much more handsome than Howard, who is just like a gorilla next to him.

When even several beauties took the initiative to chat with Wang Chao, their intentions were very obvious.

NBA stars, except for a few top Hollywood stars, are absolutely delicious in the eyes of any practitioner who takes the public route, synonymous with money and popularity.

Many supermodels, third-tier actresses and singers will date or even marry NBA stars.

The most famous of these is the famous Kardashian family.

It is definitely a very tempting choice to find a handsome, wealthy and well-known NBA star for dating.

Howard, the little prince of the nightclub, naturally knew this very well, and soon he was having fun, hugging left and right, and said to Wang Chao in high spirits.

"Wang, believe me, our two partners will become the second OK combination and rule the entire league!"

Wang Chao was a bit reserved at first, but following the rhythm of the night show and being downed by Howard with a few glasses of wine, he gradually let go.

It was only at this time that Wang Chao discovered a shortcoming of his own body...the capacity for alcohol is too poor.

He didn't even feel how much he drank, he had already started to feel dizzy, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

When Wang Chao regained consciousness again, his first feeling was a splitting headache accompanied by nausea.

This is a classic hangover reaction.

"It's too crazy to play..."

Sitting up rubbing his brows, Wang Chao's expression froze.

At this time, he realized that he was actually lying on a big bed in a very luxurious hotel suite with no clothes on, and beside him lay two women who were also naked.

Wang Chao: "???"

what happened?
He froze for a few seconds before reacting, trying to recall what happened last night.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember it at all.

"Fuck, what a fucking loss!"

Wang Chao was extremely depressed for a while.

How could he have no memory of such an important moment of leaving his virginity?And more importantly, are two people still so exciting?
The two beauties lying next to him, one on the left and the other on the right, are all members of the Victoria's Secret beauties yesterday, and they are also the two with the most outstanding looks.

Looking at their appearance, it was obvious that something indescribable happened to both of them.

The movement of Wang Chao getting up woke up the two girls who were still asleep at the same time.

Both of them looked around blankly at first, and then recalled the "crazy" last night. They looked at Wang Chao as if they were looking at an animal, 2 against 1, and they couldn't hold on until the middle of the night. Beg for mercy, won't this guy be tired?
"Forehead……"

Wang Chao looked at the two women and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

But the problem is that Wang Chao doesn't remember it, and when he thinks about it, he feels really bloody.

"Jingle Bell……"

At this time, Wang Chao's cell phone rang, and when the call was connected, Howard's carefree voice rang from the cell phone.

"Hey, Wang, are you still up? What time is this in the morning? With your training attitude, I don't think you are working hard. I have been waiting for you outside for a long time."

Hearing this, Wang Chao glanced at the time, and couldn't help but underestimate it in surprise. "Why is it almost ten o'clock? I usually wake up before six o'clock?"

Hearing Wang Chao talking to himself, the faces of the two women couldn't help showing a little blush.

Isn't it ten o'clock? It was almost five o'clock when I finished tossing and went to sleep.

"Um, sorry about that, I still have training today, so I have to take a step first."

Wang Chao who hung up the phone breathed a sigh of relief and had an excuse to slip away.

Although he knows that this is at most a one-night affair, which is very common in foreign countries, it still makes Wang Chao feel a little embarrassed to run away after pulling out the hanger. After all, his experience in this area is much less than that of Howard, although in terms of age, Wang Chao is three years older than Howard.

"and many more."

Just when Wang Chao was about to rub the soles of his feet and run away, one of the beauties called out to stop him, and at the same time snatched his mobile phone, quickly entered a series of numbers and dialed.

After hearing her mobile phone ringing, the beauty smiled at Wang Chao.

"This is my contact information. If I go to Orlando, if I call you, you are not allowed to answer."

Wang Chao stared blankly at the other party, and then his mobile phone was snatched by another beautiful woman, doing the same thing.

Wang Chao: "..."

This made him feel a little uncomfortable, wasn't it a one-night stand, why did he still leave his contact information, and both of them?Don't you feel embarrassed?
When he walked out of the room, Wang Chao was still in a dazed state.

Of course he didn't know, if it was an ordinary one-night stand, it wouldn't be like this, but last night he showed his power and completely conquered the two Victoria's Secret beauties.

Handsome, rich and alive, how could such a high-quality stock be easily missed?

Just as Wang Chao walked out of the room, he saw Howard winking at him.

"You boy, you can't see it, you are so awesome!"

Howard gave him a thumbs up, "The movement in your house didn't stop until after five o'clock. The stamina is good. Have you taken any medicine? Recommend one to your buddy?"

"What kind of medicine to take? I was so drunk yesterday that I don't know anything. I don't have the time to take medicine..." Wang Chao said unhappily. more uncomfortable.

But halfway through his speech, he stopped abruptly.

take medicine? ? ?

Wang Chao remembered that he was still training during the day and drank a bottle of stamina potion to restore his physical strength.

"Could it be that……"

Wang Chao's expression was a little restless.

According to Howard, yesterday he played with two beauties until after five o'clock in the morning, even if it was already late when he came out of the nightclub, it was just early in the morning, what kind of animal can last for four or five hours with one against two?

The only thing that can be thought of is the physical recovery bonus brought by the stamina potion.

Does the system's training potion actually have such a miraculous effect?

Wang Chao was stunned for a while, he didn't expect you to be such a system!Well done!

On the way to the training hall by car, Wang Chao couldn't help looking at the phone numbers left by the two Victoria's Secret angels in his phone.

"Miranda Kerr?"

"Candice Swanepoel?"

Looking at the remarked names on the mobile phone numbers of the two women, Wang Chao always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Before crossing, Wang Chao didn't know much about Victoria's Secret. After all, for Chinese people who are far away across the ocean, the Victoria's Secret catwalk is usually just a little bit on the mobile phone.

If there is a certain search engine from the future for Wang Chao to use, he will be surprised to find that these two Victoria's Secret angels with outstanding appearance, body and temperament will actually be the top pillars of Victoria's Secret in the future. Major magazines rank among the most beautiful women in the world.

It was only in 07 that both of them had just signed with Victoria's Secret to become Victoria's Secret Angels, and they hadn't reached the level of fame behind them. Miranda Kerr had already appeared on the stage of Victoria's Secret last year, so it was still a small one. Fame, Candice Swanepoel will officially land on the Victoria's Secret stage this year and start to become famous.

Wang Chao actually slept with two Angel spokespersons who were top beauties in the history of Victoria's Secret, and they slept together.

If Wang Chao said this on the Internet in the future, some people would scoff, how many dishes do you drink like this?
It's a pity that the current Wang Chao doesn't know the future achievements of these two top Victoria's Secret angels, but it doesn't matter, there are two beauties who left the contact information on their own initiative, and everyone will have a bright future.

……

"Huh-huh-huh." Panting heavily, Howard slumped on the floor sweating profusely, shaking his head again and again. "No, I can't hold it anymore, let me slowly..."

Wang Chao glanced at Howard, curled his lips, and continued his training program.

Looking at Wang Chao whose ball uniform was completely soaked in sweat but still continued to train, Howard looked at him almost exactly like the two beautiful Victoria's Secret ladies.

This fucking animal is a beast, isn't he tired?

Last night, I was tossing with two top beauties until after five o'clock in the morning, and I was still so fierce during the daytime training?How dare you say you didn't take drugs?

Last night plus today's training, Howard has already admired Wang Chao to the fullest.

As expected of a rookie in 04 who was selected as an All-Star at the same time as me, that's amazing!
In the following days, Wang Chao and Howard officially entered the intensive training session, but a week later, Howard couldn't stand Wang Chao's high-intensity training and ran away early.

Wang Chao's training was so desperate that even Howard, who was dubbed as a monster, couldn't bear it.

I was exhausted from practicing every day, and I didn't even have the energy to go to the nightclub, and I had to continue the next day. It was a kind of torture for Howard, who advocates happy basketball.

"Wang, I'm really sorry. My agent has arranged an event schedule for me. I have to go to Miami next, so I can't continue training with you."

Although he couldn't bear Wang Chao's training and wanted to put oil on his feet, Howard couldn't say that on the surface. After all, it would be too embarrassing.

Wang Chao naturally knew what Howard was thinking, but he didn't point it out, and he didn't feel complacent about it. The reason why he could withstand such a high-intensity training was the external assistance of the stamina potion. In terms of physical fitness, Howard could There is no scum left of him.

Moreover, if Howard really tries to be brave enough to compete with Wang Chao in terms of training intensity, he might have to use up training for himself, and that would be a waste of money. Wang Chao still counts on Howard to give him enough help in the interior.

Although they only trained together for about a week, the relationship and tacit understanding between Wang Chao and Howard have improved.

As the saying goes, good brothers should go to the same window together, carry guns together, and go whoring together.

Wang Chao and Howard are both rookies in 04. They are classmates. They will also fight side by side in the Magic team. It is equivalent to carrying guns and fighting together. , and there is no stinky money relationship, but in a sense it barely meets the third article.

To sum up, Wang Chao and Howard can now be regarded as brothers, proper Orlando veterans.

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of September, Wang Chao temporarily finished training and went to Orlando with agent Bill Duffy to officially report to the Magic. He attended a press conference with general manager Otis Smith and head coach Stan Van Gundy.

Orlando fans finally welcomed the biggest player the team brought in this summer.

In front of the cameras of all the media, Wang Chao took the Magic team jersey with No. 1 from General Manager Smith.

Wang Chao's jersey number is the No. 1 jersey that McGrady once wore.

Of course, this number was chosen not only because McGrady was Wang Chao's idol, but also because Wang Chao liked the number 1.

Everyone has a different understanding of numbers. In Wang Chao's view, 1 represents the number one, which means the strongest. He wants to become the strongest player in the league, so he naturally chooses the No. 1 jersey.

When he was in the Suns, Wang Chao had no choice. There was nothing he could do. The No. 1 of the Suns belonged to Stoudemire, and it was not Wang Chao's turn to dictate.

But it is different in the Magic. Although he is new to the team, Wang Chao’s maximum salary contract second only to Howard determines his detached position in the team in the future. Besides, no players currently wear No. 1, so he naturally became Wang Chao's number.

Facing the reporters' long guns and short guns, Wang Chao remained calm and composed.

"I am very happy to be able to join a team like the Magic. As we all know, in the past, every team that won a championship in the league had a super center, such as O'Neal of the Lakers, Ben Wallace of the Pistons, and Duncan of the Spurs. …The Magic team also has a player with the potential to become a super center, and that is Warcraft Howard.” Wang Chao said: “I am honored to be able to partner with a future super center. With him at the basket, I can be even more Unscrupulous shooting three-pointers, our partners will definitely complement each other."

Having said that, he couldn't help but smile. "Of course, this year's championship Suns don't have a super center, but coincidentally, they have me."

As soon as Wang Chao's words came out, there was an uproar among the reporters in the audience, and even the sound of the shutter of the camera accelerated.

The smiles of head coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Smith sitting next to Wang Chao were a little stiff.

Wang Chao's words... the hatred is a bit big. Although it was Wang Chao's own choice to come to the Magic, it seems that he still has a lot of resentment against the Suns' unwillingness to match his maximum salary contract and choose to trade him. .

Who are the media reporters?Just listening to Wang Chao's words, he immediately sensed the mystery, and someone immediately raised his hand and asked.

"Mr. Wang Chao, according to what you mean, is it because of your credit that the Suns won the championship?"

This problem is obviously digging a hole.

Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but hang his heart.

He was really afraid that the young and vigorous Wang Chao would respond directly, this is a flattery!

Of course, Wang Chao is not that stupid.

Not long ago, Nash participated in a talk show complaining that the team did not leave his own news. He also saw it.All he wants to target is the Suns.

"I want to ask you a question first, the Suns won the championship, am I not credited?"

Wang Chao looked at the reporter asking the question and asked.

The other party was speechless.

Does Wang Chao have any credit?If Wang Chao, who averaged 21.8 points per game in the playoffs, ranked second in the team, second only to Stoudemire, and has even better scoring efficiency, did not have any credit, there are still a few people in the Suns who are worthy of it The four words of credit to greatness?

In fact, Wang Chao contributed a lot to the Suns winning the championship. The scene where the Suns were eliminated by the Spurs 4:1 in the Western Conference Finals two years ago is still vivid in my mind, but in this year’s Western Conference Finals, the Suns can fight the Spurs in seven games. And won in the end, if it wasn't for Wang Chao's deterrence from beyond the three-point line and his non-stop running off the ball to tear apart the Spurs' defense, why would the Suns have overcome the Spurs' difficulty?
Of course, for the Suns to win the championship, Nash, Stoudemire, Wang Chao, and even Marion Berbarbosa are all indispensable. The proportion should be very large, even comparable to Nash Stoudemire.

"It is impossible for any team to win the championship without a complete team and good players." Wang Chao looked at the opponent and said, "The Suns team I am still in is definitely a complete or even perfect team." It is not impossible for the team to continue to defend the championship, but now..."

"But the Magic is different. There was a complete tactical system around Howard. My arrival has strengthened the offensive firepower of the Magic's third and fourth positions. Whether it is me or Turkoglu, they can play. The third and fourth positions are swinging, providing accurate outside shooting, helping Howard pull up the inside space, so that he can enjoy post-up singles under the basket."

"Some time ago, I trained with Howard for a period of time. He has already begun to exercise his post-up singles ability inside. His footwork is very flexible and his confrontation ability is also very strong. In the future, he will definitely become the top inside offensive player in the league."

Wang Chao's words are typical business bragging.

Howard was so friendly to him, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate.

Whether Warcraft can develop inside skills, no one knows better than Wang Chao. Even in 2022, his inside steps are still as stiff as zombie jumps.

But what does it matter?Whether Wang Chao believes it or not, as long as someone believes it.

From 08 to 11, Howard was recognized as the No. [-] center in the league. A man who can replace James alone. He has strong physical fitness and outstanding defensive ability. Almost everyone believes that Howard will surely inherit O'Neal's inheritance and become the top player in the league. center.

But there is one thing to say, if Howard can really reach the level of O'Neal... No, even if he can reach half of O'Neal's inside level, Wang Chao will reconsider whether to join the Magic.

The reason why he considered the Magic is because the Magic will not only be strong in the next few years, but also easily become the leader of the team.

No matter how strong Howard's performance in recent years, the peak ceiling is only about 20+14, and the number of shots and ball possession rate are not high.

Although it seems a little unreasonable to calculate good brothers like this, there is no way. Howard's upper limit is so high. If Wang Chao is replaced as the team leader and the two cooperate, there is a real chance to win the championship in the next few years, and maybe it will not be on the 75th anniversary. At that time, even the 75 superstars couldn't be selected.

……

What Wang Chao said in the interview was well-founded, leaving the reporters speechless.

After all, in the new season, no one thinks that the Suns can defend the title, at least with the current lineup without Wang Chao, it is difficult for the Rockets and Spurs in the West or the Celtics in the East to win.

Regarding Wang Chao's provocation, the Suns remained silent and did not respond.

In the past two months, Phoenix fans have almost scolded the Suns management.

Both the Celtics and the Rockets have made big moves, including the Spurs who are also making some small trade reinforcements in the summer.

The Suns, which won the championship, got nothing all summer. Apart from signing with the selected rookies, they only used the basic salary to poach the former All-Star Grant Hill from the Magic whose contract expired.

This undoubtedly made the Suns fans even more angry.

What's the use of a Hill who has been ruined by injuries?Is it possible that you still want to use it as a substitute for Wang Chao?The problem is that even Hill in a healthy state has always been his shortcoming in three-pointers. Without the ability to break through with the ball at his peak, what else can Hill do on the court?
But let alone, the choice of the Suns is really good.

After Wang Chao reached a franchise agreement with the Magic, he tried to ask the Magic to keep Hill.

It's a pity that it was a bit too late at that time. The Magic were very tired of Hill. In the past few years, Hill was the largest contract player in the Magic, with a total of 7 million in 9300 years.

You must know that it was a contract in 2000, and its value is definitely no less than the 5-year 8500 million that was just signed with Howard.

But from 00-01 to last season's 06-07 season, Hill only played a total of 6 games in 200 seasons, with an average of 33 games per season, either in recovery or on the road to injury.

The Magic's well-planned Hill + McGrady double Jordan successor combination plan has failed, and the league's record has been at the bottom of the water every year.

There is nothing wrong with saying that the team management doesn't like Hill.

However, the management of the Magic may never have imagined that Hill, who left the Magic and joined the Suns with a basic salary of 1 million a year, has rejuvenated his second career. He will play an average of 150 games in the regular season in the next four seasons. , The average data per game is also stable at around 78 points and 13 rebounds, and the shooting percentage is close to 5%.

Of course, this data cannot be compared with the super rookie king who had the fastest step in the league, the All-Star vote and even suppressed the comeback of Jordan.

But as a veteran with a basic salary of more than 100 million, Hill is definitely worth the money, and he is simply the king of cost performance.

After Wang Chao decided to join the Magic, his first thought was to let the team keep Hill. Anyway, it is a basic salary. The general manager of the team should sell his face. Soon it turned out that the general manager owed him a favor.

But if he was a little bit late, there was nothing he could do.

Wang Chao is not particularly disappointed to miss Hill, the king of value for money, in his old age. After all, Hill’s second spring in the Suns is generally believed to be the result of the excellent medical skills of the Suns team doctor. Injury stops, and he can't play if he has the ability.

If Wang Chao forces Hill to stay with the Magic, it is very likely that the old Hill will not be able to play the second spring of his career and will have to retire sadly.

In that case, it would be better to let him go to the Suns. Wang Chao still likes Hill, who is elegant and easy-going.

Although he doesn't like the Suns very much now, even with Hill, the Suns are not strong enough to compete for the championship, so it doesn't matter.
