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

Chapter 353 When the dust settles, Wang Chao joins the Clippers!

The media reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed something was wrong.

It stands to reason that Wang Chao would be more likely to return to his mansion in Manhattan, New York after the holiday, because his other confidante, Miranda Kerr, and his daughter are both in New York.

Coming to Los Angeles at this point in time is not normal in itself.

The Lakers management tensed up when they heard the news, because they realized a rather dire possibility.

But what is often feared will come.

The news of Wang Chao’s appearance in Los Angeles was only announced two days ago, and the Clippers officially issued a statement, officially announcing that Wang Chao will join the Los Angeles Clippers and sign a two-year 2 million contract with the team, with a player option for the second year. .

In the new season, Wang Chao will wear the No. [-] jersey of the Clippers and compete for the NBA championship for the Clippers.

At the same time, the Nuggets officially expressed their gratitude to Wang Chao for his contribution to the Nuggets in the past year. The team owner personally promised in front of the media that he will retire Wang Chao's No. [-] jersey for the Nuggets. His career continued to go smoothly.

As the player who brought the Nuggets the first championship in team history, even if Wang Chao has only played for the Nuggets for one year, he is definitely worthy of this card.

Once this news was announced, the entire alliance and even the whole world were shaken.

Wang Chao is really daring!
Going to the Nuggets last season was risky enough. Although the Nuggets had an average lineup at the time, they still had the Devil's home defense after all.

Now he turned his face and ran to the Clippers. The current situation of the Clippers is not much better than last year's Nuggets. Isn't he afraid of running to the Clippers and encountering Waterloo?
Wang Chao, born in 1983, will be 36 years old next season.

Under normal circumstances, professional athletes reach the end of their careers at this age.

Jordan won the last championship in his career at the age of 36. After winning the championship, he felt the decline in his own state and the overall strength of the team. In addition, the league was on strike due to the suspension of labor agreement negotiations, so he chose to retire. .

Therefore, people have every reason to believe that even if Wang Chao can show super personal dominance next season, such strength will not last for long.

Therefore, Wang Chao joined the Clippers and once again chose a team below the league average. This news is mixed for many players in the league.

After all, this is at least better than Wang Chao joining a strong team, and they can have more opportunities.

If Wang Chao did not choose the Clippers, but a strong playoff-level team like the Hornets and Raptors, the situation would only be worse.

As for whether these strong teams have sufficient salary space to sign Wang Chao, it is not a problem at all.

Because as long as Wang Chao nods and is willing to join, any team will use various methods, even if it is free, to free up salary space to provide Wang Chao with a maximum salary, which does not need to be considered at all.

The Hornets and Raptors are both teams without a championship in team history, and they fully meet Wang Chao's previous requirements.

If you look at it this way, joining the Clippers is already the best choice for Wang Chao. You can't expect Wang Chao to join the Timberwolves, Jazz, and Pelicans, which are at the bottom of the league, and the ball market is not a particularly large remote team.

"We have Wang Chao! We are going to win the championship!"

The fans of the Clippers were directly stunned by this huge surprise that fell from the sky. There is such a good thing?

Happiness came so suddenly that they once wondered if they were dreaming.

After pinching his face hard to confirm that it was not a dream, the Clippers fans immediately had a collective climax, cheering wildly.

The Lakers, who are in the same city as the Clippers, felt a little sour at this time, and couldn't help but feel weird.

"So what if there is Wang Chao? You don't really think that Wang Chao alone can lead you to win the championship?"

"Compared to the overall lineup of the team, our Lakers can beat your Clippers by a few blocks!"

"Don't forget that LeBron also beat Wang Chao twice in the playoffs! We also have Cousins ​​and Towns, what else do you have besides Wang Chao?"

But this kind of words can only be said by Lakers fans.

When James learned that Wang Chao was going to join the Clippers, the few remaining hairs were almost bald.

The reason why he left the Cavaliers was because he realized after the playoffs against the Nets last year that the Cavaliers' lineup structure and strength could not be the opponents of the Nets, and they would not be able to break through from the East if they stayed in the Cavaliers. And out, so this bad idea was made.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chao turned his face and ran to Los Angeles like him!
As Wang Chao's old opponent for many years, he knows very well who Wang Chao is. If he is not fully sure, Wang Chao will definitely not join the Clippers.

With Wang Chao's perspective, the Clippers' current players must be players who can catch his eye.

Just like Brook Lopez, who joined the Clippers with an annual salary of 800 million not long ago, took the initiative to speak out after Wang Chao publicly joined the Clippers, admitting that he would choose the Clippers because Wang Chao took the initiative to call him to recruit.

"Wang told me that he has always been worried about not being able to lead me to win the championship in the Nets, so this time he must lead me to achieve this goal. I am very looking forward to it."

Of course Brook Lopez has nothing to be afraid of, after all, he is just a role player averaging 12+5 per game.

But Wang Chao took the initiative to call to recruit, and the situation was a little different.

"Wang Chao...what are you thinking?"

James once again felt the crisis.

And the whole network is also discussing Wang Chao's joining the Clippers.

"Why did Wang Chao choose the Clippers? Does the current lineup of the Clippers really have potential that we can't even see?"

"It's true. Players like Tobias Harris and Gallinari are quite good. After Wang Chao's airborne, he can really play a good role. But even so, compared with the Lakers The Big Three over there, the Nets and the Warriors, these super teams with luxurious lineups, are still a little insufficient."

"The Clippers should trade reinforcements next, right? At least an All-Star player should be traded to help Wang Chao."

Everyone has different opinions, and all kinds of speculation and imagination are flying in the sky.

But no one knows that Wang Chao will choose the Clippers for a simple, straightforward and very rude reason, that is, to be able to live with Candice and prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind.

Even if an NBA player spends half of the season on the road, as long as he lives in Los Angeles, Wang Chao can spend wonderful nights with Candice for at least the other half of the time.

At night, in the Beverly Hills mansion.

Wang Chao, who fought fiercely until late at night, put a blanket on Candice, whose eyes were blurred and dripping with sweat, to cover her delicate body and long legs that could drive countless men crazy.

Then he moved his mind slightly and entered the space of consciousness.

Winning the championship with the Nuggets allowed him to obtain the highest level of season evaluation rewards again, that is, a large number of points rewards and the choice of two talent skills.

In fact, with the improvement of Wang Chao's personal ability in recent years, he has become less and less dependent on natural skills.

But of course, the more of this kind of thing, the better, and the more skills do not overwhelm him, Wang Chao wished that his innate skills would be too many to be used at all.

At present, Wang Chao already has 25 talents, covering many aspects such as offense, defense, organization and physical fitness.

And this time the two systems reward talent skills, and he plans to continue to strengthen his defense.

The reason why Wang Chao has such considerations is because the current lineup structure of the Clippers is completely different from the previous Nuggets, but very similar to the Nets.

In the entire Clippers team, Brook Lopez is the only player who can do well on defense. Although the offensive end is quite excellent, the defensive end is seriously lacking.

Therefore, Wang Chao knows very well that if he wants to win the championship in the next season, he needs to put in a lot of energy on the defensive end rather than attacking.

After all, with Louis Williams, Harris, Gallinari and Harrell and other good scorers, the Clippers' offense does not need Wang Chao to bother at all.

Wang Chao's defense is very strong, so strong that he has won the best defensive player four times.

But what he is best at is assisting defense. When defending one-on-one against the opponent's core arrow players, there are still not enough talents that can really be relied on. Only the two talents of shadow follower and lion roar can come in handy.

Including the finals, although Wang Chao defended Durant very well, the latter actually still averaged 6+ points per game in 30 games, and his shooting percentage exceeded 48%.

Wang Chao also knows that players like Durant, James, and future league top stars Antetokounmpo and Jokic, no matter how strong a defensive player is, cannot be completely restrained.

But that is only applied to the usual situation. For Wang Chao, who has the system and is assisted by talents and skills, this possibility is not completely impossible. As long as he has more talents and skills, even Jordan can defend every single position. Count the points!
With this in mind, Wang Chao went directly to the talent tree and started the lucky draw every season.

For the first talent draw, the three defensive talents are double-teaming master, basket guardian and murderer.

At a glance, Wang Chao saw the talent of the last exaggerated name to kill people.

The first two talents, double-teaming master and rim guardian, can be seen from the name alone. One is to strengthen the double-teaming ability, and the other is to enhance the effect of protecting the basket. Both of them can be used on the defensive end. Deserved practical talent.

But compared with killing and punishing the heart, it is obvious that the latter is more suitable for Wang Chao's needs.

"The talent effect of killing the mind: In one-on-one defense, after the opponent's attack is successfully defended continuously, it will subtly affect the opponent's mentality, making him irritable and irritable, making it easier for the opponent to make impulsive attacks on the field. If you directly Forming a steal or block will accelerate the triggering of the talent effect."

This talent is similar to the lion's roar skill, it is a skill that directly affects the opponent, and it is different from the lion's roar skill that the more you use it, the less effective it is. A super talent with a broken mentality.

The most typical example is this year's finals, Wang Chao once beat Durant's mentality in the G2 game, but in the subsequent games, Durant still adjusted his state, so the Nets were able to win the next two games. home court.

But with this killing trick, it's hard to say whether Durant can quickly adjust his mentality and no longer be limited to blind 1v1 duels with Wang Chao.

It's so scary, killing people will kill them!
This talent works better with steals or blocks, after all, what could be more humiliating than stealing and blocking an opponent in a 1v1 matchup?

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Wang Chao's second talent immediately got the perfect match.

"Smart hands and empty hands: When facing the ball holder, there is a greater probability of judging the basketball's landing point in advance. When pressing the basketball head-on, it will reduce the probability of being called a foul, and slightly increase the opponent's layup. The probability of cutting the ball when turning around."

This talent is somewhat similar to the stealing expert with the ball in the 2K game. It is a talent skill that is completely applied to one-on-one defense, and it can be linked with the killing talent talent.

Even not only the talent of killing and killing the heart, Wang Chao's previously activated defensive skill defensive vanguard can also be triggered and activated very well by this skill.

This skill was so good that Wang Chao completely ignored the other two talents in the three choices, and made a choice directly.

As a result, Wang Chao's talent skills increased from 25 to 27, and his defensive dominance was further improved.

After Wang Chao announced to join the Clippers, the Clippers players are looking forward to the holding of Wang Chao's signature personal basketball training camp.

In the past, all league players who have trained in Wang Chao's personal training camp have grown explosively without exception. However, only Wang Chao's teammates are eligible to participate in this training camp, so everyone else can only do it helplessly. watch.

Now that Wang Chao has come to the Clippers, it means that they have the opportunity to personally experience what is different about Wang Chao's training camp.

However, the Clippers players who have been looking forward to it are obviously going to be disappointed, because Wang Chao does not plan to hold a training camp this year.

Today is different from the past. Wang Chao has a little princess. In the past year, he ran around in the Denver Nuggets and did not accompany the little princess to grow up. The next year will be the same with the Clippers.

Therefore, the holidays during the offseason are extremely important.

After coming to Los Angeles and spending a few days with Candice, and formally signing a contract with the Clippers, Wang Chao flew to New York non-stop to meet up with Keer and started the holiday mode.

The paparazzi of the local media in New York can see Wang Chao leading Xiao Keer to play around almost every day, and they are so happy that they seem to have completely forgotten that there is such a thing as training.

Such unprofessional behavior seems to have finally given many media the opportunity to attack Wang Chao.

"It seems that Wang Chao, who is 35 years old, has forgotten his original intention. When most of the league's stars are using the offseason to sweat and strengthen training, he only knows to play around with his daughter and forget about it."

"Professional athletes who are over 35 years old will decline rapidly in physical function. As we all know, Wang Chao has a super physical fitness comparable to James. He has maintained a super high attendance rate and healthy state for so many years in his career, and has almost never been injured. , but no matter how strong your body is, it will eventually be wasted if you don’t exercise enough.”

"Maybe Wang Chao, who has won the ninth championship in his career, joined the Clippers just because the Clippers are located in Los Angeles. He is not going to bring the championship to this team, but to spend his old age here. The capital of entertainment and culture, what better is Los Angeles, the City of Angels?"

"If this is the case, the fans who have always supported Wang Chao will be quite disappointed." (End of this chapter)
