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

Chapter 374 After winning the championship, will Wang Chao stay with the Clippers?
Durant's ruptured Achilles tendon is out for the season. For the Nets and fans, it's like the sky is falling.

Without Durant, why should they compete with the Clippers?
It's clear that the Brooklyn Nets are about to fall in the Finals for the second consecutive year.

The fans of the Clippers are happy. Although the team has always had the upper hand and won the match point 3:1, after all, there are still risks in the games that have not been won, even if it is a very small risk.

Now without Durant, the Nets have completely lost the capital to compete with the Clippers, and the championship was almost won in vain.

On the contrary, Wang Chao was not very satisfied with the result.

Because in his opinion, the Nets themselves are not a match for the Clippers at this stage. They can obviously defeat their opponents head-on, but due to injuries, this finals feels like they cannot win.

Wang Chao no longer needed to prove his dominance through an upright victory, but he still felt a little unhappy after all.

But no matter what, this matter has been settled and there is no reversal.

On June 6, in Game 10 of the Finals, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Clippers led throughout the four quarters and defeated the Nets 120:106, winning the NBA championship with a score of 4:1.

When the final whistle sounded, the Staples Center ribbons flew into the sky, and all the Clippers fans screamed and shouted to vent their excitement.

Including the Clippers players on the court, they all hugged each other excitedly.

Unexpectedly, I actually won the championship!
The Clippers, who were still on the edge of the playoffs last season, actually won the championship this season. Compared with last season, their lineup has not changed very much. Except for the addition of Wang Chao and Brook Lopez, basically They're all from the original cast.

But this kind of lineup has defeated the Lakers, Warriors, Nets and other giant teams in the playoffs and won the championship.

After winning the championship, Wang Chao didn't show too much excitement.

For him, winning the championship is really a common occurrence.

Even the fact that he didn't win a championship that year was the big news.

This championship also brings Wang Chao's number of championships into double figures, reaching 10, which is only one step away from King of the Ring Bill Russell's 11 championships.

Unlike the Celtics, Russell's only wealthy team at the time, Wang Chao moved to multiple teams and led different teammates to win championships respectively. Both the difficulty and gold content were significantly higher.

In the five games of the finals, Wang Chao averaged a triple-double of 36 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists per game, and was crowned Finals FMVP without any suspense.

As a result, Wang Chao's accumulation of great honors has reached 10 championships, 7 MVPs, and 9 FMVPs. He is simply crazy and has no friends.

Rather than counting Wang Chao's accumulation of honors, people are now more concerned about where Wang Chao will go next after winning the championship for the Clippers in the finals.

According to past habits, he should rejoin a championship-less team and continue his poverty alleviation work.

In the past four years, Wang Chao has won the first championship in team history for the Nets, Nuggets and Clippers respectively, with frightening efficiency.

If you include the Suns and Magic, Wang Chao has won the first championship in team history for five teams.

This achievement is absolutely unprecedented, unprecedented, and will probably be difficult to achieve again in the future.

Although Wang Chao will be 37 years old next year and is already an out-and-out veteran, as long as there is an opportunity to get Wang Chao, no team in the league will refuse it.

There are currently no championship teams, and there are only seven teams left in the league, namely the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Which of these seven teams has a chance to get Wang Chao? At least it is not possible to tell from Wang Chao's attitude at the moment.

But Wang Chao is actually thinking about this issue as well.

The reason why he traveled to multiple teams to win the championship is actually a long-term mission given by the system, the championship savior.

Without knowing what kind of specific rewards the system will give, Wang Chao embarked on the road of the nomadic dynasty, and successfully won the three consecutive championships of the Nets, Nuggets, and Clippers that belonged only to him.

Next, he can naturally continue to join other teams to compete for the championship, and many teams have good operational feasibility. For example, the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets are both teams with good immediate combat capabilities. , as long as he airborne over, he will immediately become the favorite to win the championship.

Of course, the two teams currently have insufficient salary space, but this is not a problem. As long as Wang Chao is willing to join, they will definitely do everything possible to free up enough salary space.

But Wang Chao also considered two other issues.

First, Candice is pregnant, and her due date is probably around August.

If he joins another team, he will have to be separated for a long time after the child is born.

Wang Chao played for the Nets for two years, and he could be regarded as growing up with Xiao Keer. It is not good to favor one thing over another.

On the other hand, there is another thing that Wang Chao has been thinking about.

That was the mask incident that began to rage at the end of 19.

Wang Chao is not sure whether the mask incident will happen in this time and space, but if it still happens, it will be a very dangerous incident.

Although Wang Chao's influence is not great enough to directly change and eliminate this possibility, with his financial resources, there is definitely no problem in protecting his family by taking precautions in advance.

Regardless of whether that would happen in this world, he had to prepare in advance.

Los Angeles is one of the most prosperous and largest cities in the United States, and its medical facilities are among the best in the world.

Don’t look at the mask incident, which has caused great disgrace to the United States and caused a large number of deaths due to the mask issue. But in fact, rich people have complete medical facilities and environments, and the mortality rate is extremely low. Those who are really affected and die are those at the bottom who have no money. poor.

To sum up, Wang Chao is now seriously considering the idea of ​​staying in Los Angeles for one more year.

After all, among the remaining teams that have not won the championship, apart from Toronto, Canada, where the Raptors are located, the largest one is Salt Lake City, where the Utah Jazz are located.

Compared with Los Angeles and New York, these cities are obviously not on the same level.

Toronto may barely qualify, but the problem is that it is located in a bitterly cold place in the north. Where can Wang Chao and his family go to enjoy the warm climate and comfort of the beaches and oceans of Los Angeles?
After some consideration, Wang Chao made a decision and picked up his cell phone to call the general manager of the Clippers.Clippers general manager's office.

Jerry West hung up the phone, and all the sadness on his face faded.

Wang Chao just called and stated that he will exercise the player option for next year and continue to stay with the Clippers for one more season.

West couldn't believe his ears.

When the finals just ended, no one in the Clippers management thought Wang Chao would stay. After all, in the past two years, he had built two powerful teams, the Nets and the Nuggets, and left without any regrets after winning the championship. , there is no reason to change your mind with the Clippers.

Moreover, the Clippers are under great pressure to renew their contracts this summer. The contracts of many main players, including Tobias Harris, Malcolm Brogdon and Brook Lopez, have expired and they will all face contract renewals. question.

The above three players are currently worth a lot. Harris made it clear that he wants to renew his contract with a maximum salary. Both Brogdon and Lopez also hope to get a contract with an average annual salary of more than 1500 million.

The Clippers currently have Wang Chao's 3000 million contract and Gallinari's 2000 million contract, so it is basically impossible to retain all their winning achievements.

Under such circumstances, Wang Chao is still willing to stay with the Clippers. What does this mean?
Los Angeles still smells great!
Since Wang Chao is willing to stay in Los Angeles for one more year, he may choose to renew his contract and stay again after the contract expires next year. Even if Wang Chao is 38 years old at that time, so what?
Look at the fighting power shown by Wang Chao this season, is there any attenuation?Even if Wang Chao's condition really declines due to age, as long as his outside three-point shooting and ability to organize and connect are still there, he is definitely worth the maximum salary.

If possible, West would like to support Wang Chao until the day he can't get through and retire.

However, since Wang Chao chooses to stay with the team, the team's subsequent trading and signing operations have little to do with West, the general manager.

Wang Chao's ability to read people has long been known in the league. Basically, there is no player that he values ​​​​that cannot be beaten.

With such a talent, it would be the biggest waste to let the general manager manage trades and signings.

The news that Wang Chao decided to stay with the Clippers for one year was not announced immediately.

After all, Wang Chao also wanted to take advantage of the information gap to operate in the free market.

Staying with the Clippers doesn't mean lying flat.

With the current salary space of the Clippers, at most one of the three main players whose contracts have expired can be retained. Wang Chao prefers to keep Lopez. After all, outside shooters are easy to find. Lopez, who protects the rim inside, can also play outside. There are not many functional centers who can shoot three-pointers.

Of course, these operations all took place after the free market opened.

On June 2019, 6, the NBA Awards Ceremony was held in Los Angeles.

Although the response to the previous awards ceremonies was not very good, the league still insists on continuing this event, gradually making fans accustomed to it, and creating an Oscar that belongs to the NBA.

It's just that there is no suspense in the award presentation of the NBA awards ceremony, and it is indeed not high enough to watch.

The winner of the best rookie is Doncic of the Grizzlies. This season, his average of 21 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game can only be described as luxurious. The last rookie season with such all-around data was in 03 James.

The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Lou Williams of the Clippers. Although due to the arrival of Wang Chao, Lou Williams' data has dropped significantly from last season's 22.6 points and 5 assists, averaging only 16.4 points and 4.8 assists per game. Assists, but the Clippers' league-leading record is real.

And according to statistics, when Lou Williams played this season, the Clippers could beat their opponents by 3.8 points, making them an absolute contributor to the win.

The Most Improved Player Award was awarded to Kyle Kuzma of the Nuggets.

Kuzma averaged 17+8 per game this season, beating Siakam of the Raptors' 16.9 points and 6.9 rebounds to win this award.

The best defensive player was ultimately won by Rudy Gobert of the Nuggets. This was the second consecutive year he won this award, and he was also the first player in the league to win DPOY consecutively after Wang Chao.

As for the final award of the season, the regular season MVP, there is no suspense about the result. Wang Chao still won with a very high number of votes.

No matter how picky the local media in the United States is about Wang Chao, there is nothing they can do about it.

As a media, we must at least be fair and impartial on the surface.

Looking at the entire league this season, from the perspective of team record, personal performance and other aspects, who can compare with Wang Chao?
Even the player closest to Wang Chao is Antetokounmpo of the Bucks in the league.

But Antetokounmpo is far inferior to Wang Chao in terms of personal data and team record, and Wang Chao is also the leader in all high-level statistics.

Until now, American media reporters have chosen to lie down.

There is no point in struggling anyway. It is an established fact that Wang Chao dominates the NBA. That is naturally his award, so just award it to him neatly.

7 MVPs or 8 MVPs, is there any difference for the current Wang Chao?

Ever since, in the 2018-19 season, Wang Chao once again won the three top honors of the championship, MVP and FMVP at the same time, and once again added an important accumulation of honors to his personal honor book.

After the award ceremony, the 2019 draft came next.

This is also a big draft year with many high-quality players.

The biggest favorite for the No. [-] pick is small forward Zion Williams, who is said to have the strongest body in history.

Nike is very optimistic about this frightening young player with a strong body. The opponent has already received a sky-high price sneaker endorsement contract before joining the league.

But what happened later is very clear to everyone. Zion stepped on his sneakers while attacking in the NCAA finals for only 34 seconds, and even sprained his right knee.

This incident directly wiped out 13 billion US dollars from Nike's stock market. Zion Williams lost a lot of money to Nike before he even started making money for it.

Of course, you can't blame Zion, who made your shoes so impatient?
In Wang Chao's view, Zion does have a more terrifying body and strength than James, but this is not necessarily a good thing for him. His weight is really too big, but his bones are not as strong as his body. This can be seen from Zion's constant injuries later.

When Zion first entered the league, he was considered a super rookie who surpassed James physically. However, a few years later, people realized that James was the truly physically strongest player in the history of the league.

This is not simply a question of strength. James' strength, muscle coordination, and injury resistance are all top-notch, and he is extremely self-disciplined. It is impossible for Zion to become fat directly after a few months of injury. It could happen to James.

It is precisely because of the combination of the above characteristics that James was able to participate in the game efficiently for more than ten years, and later broke the league's historical scoring and launched an impact towards the 411 siege.

You can criticize James' mental attributes and playing style, but this alone cannot be criticized.

Some people always say that James's scoring data are all fake and not worth mentioning, but is there any possibility that it is extremely difficult to become a historical scoring champion?
